I told you I'd been busy! Fixed Blade, Fixed Price: €99*
I'm calling this one the M200 Boot Knife because the overall length is 200mm and I'm running out of names. ;-) In any case, it's a design prototype that I have had around for several years. I think I have it figured out, but I cannot decide if I want to do a run of these or not.
Certainly the BECUT stainless steel used in these few hand ground examples is one of the toughest steels on the market for cutlery. Years back I was introduced to Becut by a local manufacturer of machine knives. Becut dominates that market for high quality knives used in industrial food processing machines. The Niobium alloy was developed and patented by Bestar Steel in Germany specially for such applications where sharpness, edge-holding, toughness and stain resistance are very important. I was one of the first users of this steel for hand held cutlery and have sold hundreds of knives made from it to customers all over the world. So far, everybody is happy.
Here is the composition of Becut:
