Which knife did Jerry extra-harden lately?

[Dennis in MA]

I recall him discussing how he increased the hardness of the edge of a recent knife, but can't find which one in the search. Was it the Shiva or an AD or Cultie? I've forgotten!

Thanks.

That would be the BAD (Boney Active Duty)

All of em? I just can't believe it was THAT long ago he talked about it. I guess I've had a busy mid-year.

 

[Uncle_Jarvis]

Yes Sir. The hardness on all the BADs were bumped up.


The cultelli and shiva are normal

All of em? I just can't believe it was THAT long ago he talked about it. I guess I've had a busy mid-year.

Yes, all of them.

IIRC it was around 61 or 62.

I guess I could go do a search, but think thats right on rockwell.

I saw a thread the other day where Ducci Tested a few. One was 59
something and the other two were 60

So I think 59-60 would be correct.

The sites, BCS and BC show


from the INFI page at Busse Combat
"
Although hardened INFI knives are 58-60 Rc we have yet been able to chip an edge. "

The BAD page at the BCS:
"

The BAD's are mission specific designed to be wicked slicers!​

We have bumped the hardness on these to 60-62 rc for better wear resistance when cutting softer materials and in order to better support the extra fine point and edge.​

"

and yes, Ducci's Rockwell testing put the steel at the high end of the range 59-60
