Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
So at the bottom of the page, it says S30V. Did they clad the Rex 45 in S30V, or is that just an editing error?
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Wow.... That color. Tungsten, Molybdenum, Cobalt? Sounds like my mini collection is going to have to make room!

Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
So, my understanding is this would be similar to M4?

The guide says Hap40. Unsure if that’s accurate but I assume so.blendergasket wrote: So, my understanding is this would be similar to M4?

Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Hmm...on the fence about these. I've been into the Native and Manix lately more than the Military series, so may have to pass on these and hope for a Native G10 or Native LW. I may grab a Para 3 to try if it is released before the 52100 CF Para 3 (assuming that is actually happening).
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Been wanting it for a while, having missed out on the orange endura run. Also rex 45 sounds cooler lol.
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Sign me up for a para 3. I like it.
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Gonna get me one of these, either a Millie or a Para3. Orange is my color.

Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
I really thought I was done for the rest of the year with knife purchases and would start saving money..... and then that Rex Military was shown :D
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
I'm hoping this signals an incoming set of golden sprint runs in Rex 45...Manix 2, Native and UKPK would be fantastic.
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
A US version of hap40 hss? I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
Is there any real world feedback on what difference the cobalt makes?
Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45
It might have some tertiary benefit/effect, but it’s there for hot hardness which is useless in a handheld cutting tool.

It can do alot depending on how Spyderco decided to HT it.TomAiello wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 4:41 pmIs there any real world feedback on what difference the cobalt makes?
Cobalt can increase the tempering resistance
Which means the steel can "squeeze out" more tungsten carbides when tempering at high temperatures without the martensite "shrinking"
This keeps the steel hard at higher tempering and also keeps the carbides from getting too large.
That's why steel like Maxamet and hap40 have very high HRC when tempered.
This can mean Crispy, crispy edges.
Larrin Thomas covers this in great detail on his site

Support him if you can, it's a unique site operated by a metallugist and the articles are well researched, sourced and are focused on how metallurgy relates to knives rather then screws, bolts, springs and structures.
I've been loving the site.
