Trash 1

quick glance... BK2 at a higher Rc, and a choil????? :) looks good! only criticism is that I would like it with FFG
 
Already ordered, I seriously think that the Yard using 1095 will most certainly give ESEE, Tops, and Becker a run for their money. Pretty sure it will be super hard for even Rowen to beat Jerry's heat treat.
 
Ordered yesterday :)

Thank You for ordering one Dave, i'm going to need to put pants on this one too. Started a thread about which sheath makers were getting one, and no actual sheath makers replied so I was getting a little worried.

At the price point the trash1s are being offered at, adding in the length,width and thickness of blade Plus the no bs warranty they already beating the others
 
It's an impressive looking profile!!! 1095 get sooo sharp for me, I can't wait to see what Jerry's 1095 will do!

ESEE's warranty is no slouch either and from what I hear, many of them come with a very serviceable sheath. I think we've got a pretty good match-up on our hands here.

Say Heah Guys, I hear alot of good things about good tempered 1095 blades, but I still like the 1095 CroVan over just 1095. I could imagine how much more I would like this Trash-1 in the CroVan. I feel so lucky I pulled the trigger in my Green American Flag Cerakote ASH-1, I already see some being sold for alot more than I paid for mine, Thanx Mr. Jerry.

As you brought up Cro-Van, here's Toooj's take on it:

KnarfEng,

Here is the correct time line:

1) Cold Steel Carbon V was first produced in the Alcas Factory (Cutco and KA-BAR) Mid 1980s, Carbon V was originally 1095CV/0170-06/50100B.
2) Cold Steel moved to Ontario early 1990s. Carbon V started out as 1095CV/0170-06/50100B but while at Ontario, Dan Maragni removed the small amount of nickel from the formula.
3) Cold Steel moved to Camillus approx. 1995. Carbon V stayed 0170-06 minus the nickel.
How do I know all of this?...I worked at all 3 factories.

Basically the last Carbon V is still 0170-06. Don't know why Dan M. removed the nickel. Nickel, in addition to the added toughness, it also decreases the transformation temp. It is added to counterbalance the chrome which raises the transformation temp. We want lower transformation temps when heat treating carbon steel. Notice that the Austenizing temps for stainless steel are much higher due to the large amounts of chrome.

KA-BAR marquenches/martempers it's 1095 Cv blades. I don't know for a fact but I suspect Rowen does the same with ESEE's 1095 blades. Shon is tight lipped about how he heat treats. Marquenching adds toughness while keeping hardness at a very high level.

Hope all of this helps everyone.

Of course, no one knows how Jerry heat treats steel. But I've yet to see an alloy come out of Wauseon that wasn't incredibly tough. I can't imagine Busse-tempered 1095 at 58-60 HRC would behave any differently.

I think Jerry's protected transverse wave heat treatment involves some Johnny Walker Blue to help get crosseyed enough for the transverse part of the secret code to look straight since it was written in Sip 'n Cypher. There may be some JWB quenching in there too, so it will be interesting to see how the trash turns out! :D I'm too sober to ever figure it out though, so...
 
Dan posted over at the Yard that his 1095 will give SR101 a run for the money...I hope so.

I learned quite some time ago not to argue with Dan regarding the performance of an alloy. After what I've seen him accomplish with other alloys, if Dan says his 1095 will give SR101 a run for the money, you can take that to the bank. That also means that Busse heat-treated 1095 is undoubtedly the king of the 1095 hill among production knife manufacturers. No other manufacturer would dare make that claim.
