SOLD
Hey guys! A new extended raptor with 195mm of blade ( 7,6 inches).
As always, Swedish 14C28N stainless steel by Sandvik (same composition as AEBL) with a beautiful hammered and polished finish.
Both 14C28N and AEBL are one the most non-cpm fine grained steels and achieve quite high toughness grades even when performing in 61-63hrc range.
This and the fact it has a nice ease of sharpening feature, made me pick it for this knife.
This raptor specifically has a very thin, laser grind, so this is a great pick for an all-around daily knife.
While it has a very aggressive grind, i consider this knife a workhorse since it has a good spine.
It will definitely offer a highly pleasing experience of use.
Near zero maintenance expected.
As per the picture above, the handle is made out of a Raffir fiber stripe composite - very special material that is not only functional but also beautiful. Raffir is an amazing company from Denmark that produces high-end composites and a few other products like stabilized mammoth fossils.
This Raffir fiber stripe material has a great, deep 3D effect.
The handle is really ergonomic and has a rounded facet for a better and more precise pinch grip. It is a game changer in terms of comfort.
It has a black g10 liner on it
This knife has a smooth tappered tang in order of achieving a superb balance - so good and precise that you can balance the whole knife in a finger tip right in the pinch grip area. This will give you absolute control on the knife.
Its edge geometry is flawless and is almost a zero grind. 14C28N as AEBL is one of the toughest stainless steel out there, such feature allows us to play with very thin grinds even at 61HRC without getting fragile.
This will not only allow you to slice food with much less effort but also to sharpen it much faster and easier. (as there is less material behind the bevel to remove)
Finally its choil is perfectly rounded and polished for absolute comfort.
PRICE:
