Re: what would ancient people think of Byrd knives?
As said, Polynesians would think as highly of them as they did of steel tools and weapons when they were first exposed to them. They would certainly be amazed. Any other culture familiar with metal working would be impressed with the technology, but they wouldn't be likely to make a new cult over th...

Does the dealer sell a lot of Spyderco knives? Where are they located? Google is your friend. To be honest they look and weigh about the same (apparently fakes are much heavier (20 grams?)), the G10 looks identical. For example, LG Outdoors , who sell the Spyderco Military on Amazon, stock a large r...

Labour in China is cheap, and they have a lot invested in machinery. If linked advertisements are correct then the steel is something like 5Cr13MoV which is... not the best steel around... even in China and although it's technically on par with 420HC I doubt it gets the heat treatment of Buck or Lea...

Probably mostly because it's a HUGE country with a lot of things to look after and in the overall scheme of things it's not a pressing priority. Pretty much this. Knives, although important to us, are a tiny fraction of a massive economy in an equally massive country. The Chinese authorities simply...

Are you sure you don't mean 440C? I've used both 8Cr and 440V, and I doubt 9Cr is that drastic an improvement over 8Cr. 440V is miles ahead of 8Cr in everything You're right. I was thinking that 440V was just 440C with some vanadium added, but going from the charts here they're very different steels.

Holland is correct. They're obviously fairly skilled cutlery makers, if they were to make their own titanium framelock flipper they could probably get into the market in the same way that Enlan and Sanrenmu have. Certainly they'd have to work on steel heat treatment, this one is probably 9Cr18MoV wh...
