A 230 something dollar impulse buy?!? Nice.

You should tell us all about it when you get it! :thumbup:

Steel is 95X18 which is the Russian version of 440C with .20% Ti added according to the zknives app.

Yeah, checked that on Wicki......so not too hard to sharpen i guess??

 

[TriviaMonster]

That depends on hardness, which i am guessing will be somewhere around 56-58. Some 440C is more difficult than others (ie Benchmade).

Thanks for the advice, i have ordered a Fallkniven DC4 whetstone aswell so i hope this will aid me in the maintenence etc.

Ps will let you know when i get it marcinek...

Lol, I agree with Marcinek. I might impulse buy a $20 Kershaw, Byrd, or an Enlan or something, but a nearly $240 blade? Think I'd be doing the research before I just dropped that kinda cash, not afterwards, lol.

Glad I did! Damn nice blade! Will take some pix asap!! BTW....the impulse was fueled by a nice bonus!!! Lolllll

I look forward to hearing about how it performs after you have used it for a while! :thumbup:

And congratulations on the bonus!
