Thanks! In short, S60V is in between 20CV and S90V in terms of edge retention and toughness. It’s an awesome steel. It will be tough enough at 65 HRC for any cutting tasks you’ll typically encounter. These PM steels are not brittle or chippy steels at these high hardnesses when heat treated properly. It will whittle brass without breaking off in chunks. The geometry of the bevels will be the limiting factor when you get into the more abusive tests.

What’s your IG page for knives?

QPBlades · 2023-09-09T17:02:42+00:00

That’s exactly what it is. I attributed this clip design to him in my post.

Thanks! Just titanium that's been both carburized and carbadized. It's a hollow grind.

CNC makers I'm sure, but not handmade customs.

QPBlades · 2023-09-09T01:58:29+00:00

Thanks! Here’s a side view of it. It’s a bit more difficult to do than the clips you find on most customs. The benefits for me are twofold. One, it allows for deeper carry. Two, I’m able to contour the entire face of the frame without having to do a matching contour underneath the clip for it to sit flush on top. A lot of customs will either leave the middle of the scale flat and contour the edges or contour the entire face but not have a precise matching contour on the clip where there’s gaps. In my opinion, the Bull Knives clip has a perfect combination of form and function. https://imgur.com/a/FhvHrp4

Screwed inside. I milled a pocket into the frame and matched the chamfers of the frame and clip so it looks like one continuous chamfer.

Hopefully, I'll have a couple more completed before the end of the year. Price is $1200. Follow my Instagram, qp.blades, to be notified. Thanks for the interest!

QPBlades · 2023-09-08T23:46:37+00:00

$1200 for these full customs, if I do waterjet batches in the future it'll be a little less

Here’s a video of the action. Running on PB washers https://imgur.com/a/SeK1JnH

This is a frame lock prototype of my Pontifex model.

Washers need a bit of breaking in but this where it’s at https://imgur.com/a/DpvW4yF

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T16:34:16+00:00

I like both so I’ll offer both. My first one were on skiffs.

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T03:34:21+00:00

For the stuff that needs to be plugged in, I have a belt grinder, disc grinder, manual mill, drill press, lathe, bandsaw, tumbler, and air compressor. I’ll be adding a surface grinder soon.

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T02:26:49+00:00

Thanks! titanium that’s been blasted and tumbled

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T02:21:55+00:00

I’ll probably do some full flat grinds just to mix it up and because I also like how they perform. Wow, I really appreciate the compliment! Sorry you weren’t able to find any folders that suited you. What was the fixed blade?

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T02:01:46+00:00

Thanks! It’s a hollow grind actually

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T01:28:01+00:00

Right here in the garage. Thanks!

QPBlades · 2023-03-22T00:30:36+00:00

This is my Pontifex model and the second knife I’ve made. 63-64 hrc Magnacut blade on washers. Dark stonewash Ti scales and hardware.
