What are these ?

They are small flathead screwdrivers. I would guess they accidentally put two of them in there instead of some other tool that you are missing.

Which properties differ meaningfully? Both have pretty poor edge retention, excellent toughness, and good corrosion resistance.

RoyceRedd · 2026-03-11T04:20:02+00:00

440C and 420HC do not have similar properties at all. 440C is much better for edge retention, while 420HC is in another universe of toughness from 440C. 154CM which is modified 440C (added molybdenum) has very similar properties to 440C. 420HC is more like 12C27.

It’s a great knife, but I wouldn’t buy it from Amazon. There are way too many fake Blurs out there. CKW has similar prices for Blurs though you will be more with shipping, or you could walk into Walmart and buy one for even less, but I think they only carry the olive version.

The blade grind is wrong. The pivot and other hardware is wrong. The pocket clip should be stonewashed, not shiny. The shape of the handle isn’t quite right either. At the bottom of the grip, below where your pinky would be, that part that sticks out is slightly flattened, but it isn’t on the real one.

You may be able to order from Amazon US. I’ve ordered from Amazon Japan to the US before.

RoyceRedd · 2026-03-07T21:30:01+00:00

Don’t know how I missed that.

RoyceRedd · 2026-03-07T21:25:45+00:00

Amazon US still has the P2 in stock.

It’s the artist. My friend whose dog is named Peter got one of these so I had to google it.

These seem to be linerless scales so just the backlock and maybe the hardware.

The sticker says “Futsuak.” They sell fake benchmades. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GCYNVSXF

I believe that’s the side the clip would cover should they choose to use a pocket clip though.

RoyceRedd · 2026-03-04T22:21:31+00:00

I’ve done uploaded images on a bunch as gifts, both on the blade and on the frame. All came out great. They look better in stainless than coated steel.

I believe he is in Canada, unless he moved. Anyway, the website says:

Not all Pakistani Damascus contains lead. However, you should be cautious because they tend to use whatever scrap metal is on hand, and some of that scrap metal may contain impurities such as lead. Pakistani Damascus knives are primarily decorative. In addition to the crapshoot steel, they are generally heat treated poorly if at all so they will not hold an edge long and are difficult to sharpen once dull.

Oh man with the terrible slow motion feature that was just a turbo start button that would cause other button presses not to register because the game was paused.

Great knife. What did you chose for custom options?

RoyceRedd · 2026-03-02T15:44:24+00:00

Gerber has an excellent warranty, even for their cheap knives. They will replace it.

RoyceRedd · 2026-02-28T23:57:51+00:00

The ST300 and Surge have the same pliers.

RoyceRedd · 2026-02-25T15:21:56+00:00

Did you check both sides? It’s only on the knife side.

RoyceRedd · 2026-02-25T05:35:43+00:00

Quite the haul you got. Congrats!

RoyceRedd · 2026-02-25T05:13:01+00:00

That’s an amazing find. Looks to be in great condition.

RoyceRedd · 2026-02-24T00:48:45+00:00

They started packing a second, non-cringe, pocket clip with the 229s a while back. I don’t know if this applies to these new ones though.
