sure I remember it was you

subal sir,

for a budget of 35 dollars,which good throwing knife sets can you recommend??

regards and thanks

[Subal das]

bigger knife easier to control and easier to learn to throw, look for knife at least 12" long and weight about 12-13 oz

this knife for example

http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store ... s=CS80TFTC

12" long BUT Weight: 8.5 oz - not a good choice

good knife always cost more Fulcrum II
great knife length of 12.4 inches and weighs 12.5 ounces

one cheaper side Cold Steel Perfect Balance fit into this criteria

Overall Length: 13 1/2"
Steel: 1055 Carbon
Weight: 15.4 oz

At the given price the Glock knife is worth the money spent.

Good to see you too my friend!

the Trakker has more than a passing resemblance to the Tom Brown Tracker made famous in the movie "The Hunted". The difference between the FOX version and the full-size TOPS Tracker is weight (FOX version weighs 2/3 as much as the TOPS version), and steel quality (FOX uses high-grade stainless steel, while TOPS uses 1095 carbon steel). The Trakker is an excellent survival / tactical knife and well worth a close look. Blade is coated with a new process that FOX calls "Foxionic", which has been specially designed to increase resistance to salt corrosion. Black multi-position Nylon sheath with accessory pouch included. Tang extended to form glass breaker.

Blade: N690Co Stainless Steel
Handle: Forprene, Black
Guard: Integral
Sheath: Nylon w/ Kydex insert
Sheath type: RH belt vertical
Blade Length: 5-1/2”
Handle Length: 5-3/8”
Overall Length: 10-7/8”
$175

bigger Trakker



Blade: Tanto, N690Co Stainless Steel
Handle: Camo Micarta
Guard: Integral
Sheath: Leather, Black
Sheath type: RH belt vertical
Blade Length: 6-1/2”
Handle Length: 5-1/8”
Overall Length: 11-5/8”


Karambit folder


wave opening, opens while drawing from a pocket, fastest opening system and not automatic, cost half of Emmeron's karambit with same wave system
easily best buy for karambit folder at present.

abhrankash, boris asking about Glock knives

once seen in sale section here

here is best site for import

yes you are right, thanks for correction

one more FOX usd 250 machete with HRC 58-60 - well thanks not interested.



GOLOK HITAM MACHETE

Blades:
Cobalt vanadium stainless steel N690Co HRC 58-60 long mm 225 – thick mm 6. Handle: made with high resistant FORPRENE material, an elastopolymer with very high termal proprierties from -40°C to +150° C, it has very high grip power. The material is also very resistant to salt and acid corrosion and can be used in all wet situations. Total lenght of the handle is mm 135. Black and NATO green available.


Sheath:
each sheath is made with OD Green or Black ballistic nylon. The sheath has been designed under the supervision of Italian special forces. It has several different ways to can be carried. It can be fixed on plastic belts on the back pack, it can be fixed on the MOLLE systems, back side of the jackets, directly on the belt and so on. The sheath has also two extra nylon webbing straps that giving the possibility to can use the knife in all the ways and positions depending on the field in which the final user is involved.


Blade Coating:
The blade is coated with a DLC process. Is a special coating that gives to the outside blade a very hard resistant to salt corrosion and increase the outside hardening to HRC 72-75. This process have been developed for giving to these knives the same features of an high speed tool, long resistant to abrasions and very powerful performances.

Bought this knife while on vacation in Goa last month.
Overpaid, though- nearly rs 2800/- for a 20 USD knife but its very easy to carry, and not very conspicuous.

What is Cold Steel 1055 Carbon Steel Blade Construction?
1055 Carbon steel is right on the border between a medium and a high carbon steel , with a carbon content between 0.50%-0.60% and with manganese between 0.60%-0.90% as the only other component. The carbon content and lean alloy make this a shallow hardening steel with a quenched Rockwell hardness between Rc 60-64 depending on exact carbon content. These combination of factors make this one of the toughest steels available because , when quenched , it produces a near saturated lathe martensite with no excess carbides , avoiding the brittleness of higher carbon materials. This steel is particularly suited to applications where strength and impact resistance is valued above all other considerations and will produce blades of almost legendary toughness.

This has been written for the members to gather technical knowledge for the selection of steel during making the weapon for their own use.

I think hardness can be regulated by changing temperature of heat treatment. it depend on what kind of use expected from knife. for example
most kabar fighter and utility knives made of 1095 cro-van hardened HRC 56-58, easy to sharpen and not so brittle.

I also have kabar made of D2 HRC 59-60CR , edge holding and cutting ability of D2 is amazing. I got it with sharpened and polished edge and did not touch it since, it stay perfectly same after a year, even after been used quite a bit.

Cutting tests prove that D2 is one of the toughest steels used in knife making.

Results show that the D2 Extreme Fighting / Utility knife cuts twice the amount of media as a standard carbon steel knife.

In the C.A.T.R.A. Cutting Test, the D2 scored 300.6 mm, far exceeding it closest competition of only 168.8 mm.

what do you think about

S30V

Carbon 1.45%; Chromium 14%; Molybdenum 2%; Vanadium 4%. A high wear, durable, hard steel, excellent for knives.

Striders for example only using S30V and stamping type of steel on knife only if other steel been used not S30V
