I got my RF1 today and i'm lost for words on how awesome this folder is:thumbup: this thing is so smooth, good looking and sturdy that i'm blown away, it's light but somehow it feels like you can split a anvil with it, :thumbup:

Thank you Daniel for creating pure awesomeness :D:thumbup:

I have been using my RF1 for a bunch of different tasks since i got it, today i have been using it to make feather sticks and a bunch of different wood cutting tasks, i sharpened it just after i got it and the knife is still as sharp as it was on the very first cut :eek: The edge and blade geometry on this knife coupled with the solid handle is so good that i am constantly looking for stuff to cut because the quality of the knife makes it such a blast to use.

But i have one question, what hardness is it on these blades? because the edge retention on these puppies are amazing.


I will get some more pics of the RF1 in action as soon as i get a sunny day.

:D Thanks that is great to hear!

The hardness should be about 61-62 RC based on my heat treat schedule. The blades go through a somewhat special heat treat regimen I have worked out specifically for D2 (or in this case, CPMD2) and maximum conversion in the steel. This gives them great toughness at high hardness. I don't have a RC tester but wouldn't be surprised if they were a solid 62.
