What Is INFI-XC ? ? ? . . . And What Does It Have To Do With PART 2 Of Our Biggest Busse Knife Group Contest Ever?
We have received many, many requests throughout the years to bring back our high-hardness INFI (60-62 RC), as it was only previously offered in The Boney Active Duty in 2008 . . . .
There is no difference in steel composition in these INFI blades, just a very unique change in the heat-treat protocol that we call INFI-XC.
Unfortunately, this change of heat-treat protocol is very time-consuming and expensive to produce, which is why we only offered it in one previous model, more than 17 years ago!
Garth has been playing with some blades that we recently treated with this INFI-XC protocol.
He was very excited about the increase in wear-resistance and decided to put INFI-XC to a test a few weeks ago.
His tests will be revealed in PART 2 of our most recent, Biggest Busse Knife Group Contest Ever!
It is important to note that INFI-XC (60-62 RC) is at a higher hardness than regular INFI (58-60 RC) and that regular INFI is tougher.
INFI-XC is an excellent choice for knives that are designed primarily for cutting and slicing with very thin edges, and not for prying and beating on.
Those who have put the Boney Active Duty to work in the field have raved about its edge retention and ease of resharpening.
We will be releasing a fan favorite from several years ago in INFI-XC and hope you will get a chance to experience it for yourself.
Stay tuned for more INFI . . . errr. . . .Info!!!
