Well what else is there to do ?
You've already given us the world's hardest knives !
60 is Play Dough . Right ?
Well actually :
I modded / shortened another knife a week ago now . . . basic old Case CV . . . I had cut almost all of the blade thickness clear through using an abrasive wheel just leaving the least thickness at the ends of the slot right at the edge and another little thin bit at the spine . . . almost nothing . At this point I like to break off the cut off .
I was pleased to find It was springy , I flexed it over a few degrees and it came right back ; when I did break if off it went "ting".
Decently heat treated !
Has been holding up with a very acute edge for a week of cutting through various kinds of masking tape like tape on closed cell foam tubes around machine parts I have been unboxing on again off again at work . Edge still scrape arm hair shave sharp and bites the back of my thumb nail with enthusiasm .
There . That's my contribution to the knife hardness thread . On the scale it equals : Quite Good .
Like this one but not this funny stainless steel stuff (old image stolen from one of my ancient posts in another forum) .
The one I modded was black scales , CV alloy and nice dark blue patina . I put ovals of black , rough rubber , gun grip tape up at the pivot end of the handle , jimmped the spine of the handle near the pivot with slots all the way across ; Spay blade removed on latest knife (I found spay doesn't have enough negative edge angle for my intended use ) and just gets in the way of grip if left in the handle as a second blade.
Yessss I know : "Congratulations ! You have reinvented the box knife ." But they please me .
PS: imagine if you will the same deal done on a brand new Para 3 Cobalt Blue G-10 SPY 27 .
Brilliant knife (box knife) . . . she takes care of the hard jobs ! ! !
Love that handle and negative blade angle ! ! !
and I didn't have to texture or jimp anything .
Try it !
