I’m wondering why Lionsteel stopped developing the knife research brand. You guys made some pretty amazing knives in vanadis 4e, A8mod and even Calmax

Will we ever see limited runs from lionsteel of knives with these excellent steels ?

Looking at the video of the mckf in a8mod pounded through rocks I would love to see you guys use this steel again in a chopper... it would be epic
 
A8mod pounded in rock was a Nexus.
Reserch in Nexus, MCKF and Knife Research was done by me.
I worked on:
K360;
WP7V (A8mod);
Calmax;
Unimax;
Sleipner;
Niolox;
M390;
Vanadis23;
Vanadis4E;
K390;
...

Soon will be news from Lionsteel. Just see K390 and new steels are at study.

Moletta I must say that you make amazing knife designs
 
I still have knives from Nexus, MCKF and KnifeResearch.
Such a shame the collaboration with KnifeResearch ended adruptly because I liked the picture I saw for the Rasul II
Molletta if you have a picture of the Rasul II please show it because even on the internet things get lost in oblivion.
Bladeforums will always stay but others like Knifeforum, EDC forum, Britisch Blades and a lot more got closed
A lot of data and pictures gone forever.

I'm posting now because a lot of the MCKF knives were made in Calmax.
I know among others Cliff Stamp (rip) liked the steel a lot.
Why don't we see it anymore?
