Looks like we have another M4 exclusive on the way. I may have to get this one since I don’t have a Yojimbo yet.

 

[dogrunner]

Oh no! I already have 2 Yo2s. I don't need another one... but M4 is a great steel choice for this model

Whoa! Did not see this one coming. Makes sense though given the Yo's intended use.

If the Lum Tanto run couldn't pull me into this series, I don't think this will either, but this is really tempting. I've always wanted to try out the ol' jimbo but I am determined to step away from collecting and that's final . Plus, I'm holding out for the Paysan, and a Challenor...and a Snecx...and a...ah it's hopeless

Lum Tanto was HAP40 not M4.

I think that's the first one that actually looks good in the Jade G-10. Somehow the others just looked soulless to me.

BAD experience with BLADEHQ,i now know that when you signed in for a pre-order you won't get a mail (at least me) when the product (PM2 REX 45) is in.but believe me when selling doesn't go fast as planned for them they will send a mail.so,i won't buy a Yoji.BHQ,if you promise to mail the client after a pre-order DO SO!you need us clients,we don't need you!

Good point, my bad
Was that the only BHQ jade G-10 exclusive without M4?

Agreed. I may have to pick this one up and dye the scales blue or something. M4 in the Yo2 platform is a great choice of steel.

Yes I believe so, thus far. It's because the other exclusives were Golden models and theum Tanto was a Seki model.

I love the scales. I know M4 is a super steel. Is it rust resistant?

 

[blame it on god]

No M4 is NOT stainless.

Lol

Not at all, M4 is very rust prone. Which is funny why the Lum had HAP40 which is rust resistant.

I thought Hap40 is also very rust prone but its a laminated blade. So the edge still rusts easily, similar to M4 does (a little less than simple carbon like 1095 but not much better), but the sides get the benefit of the other steel (can't remember what that is and too lazy to google right now).

Compared to 1095... yes. Barely. Keep it oiled or give it an acid wash. Acid wash finish makes it pretty decent against rust and pitting in my experience.

Ah you are right, I am confusing HAP40 with H1. Scratch what I said, but everyone often talks about M4 rusting and patinaing.

 

[jstn]

I like this. I'd love to see one in M390 with G10 or textured carbon fiber, something with some grip.

 

[Danke42]

At this rate I'll never get any of the knives I want that are in stock because I keep having my expectations reset!

Oh well, I'll pass.

Yes!!!!!
