DiamondBlade Knives
« on: July 13, 2008, 11:41:57 AM »
I ran across this review in the latest Guns magazine.

Although currently way beyond my meager means; this friction forge technology seems to hold a lot of promise!

Lord, another one. 
A.  The price is ludicrous
B.  The magazine hooker(oops...impartial writer whose magazine depends on paid advertising) didn't mention anything about the edge itself.  I've had problems with D-2 at a Rc of 61-62 chipping badly when edge ground too thinly with a standard bevel; convexing the edge solved that problem.  I'm curious what happens at 65-68 Rc.  Skinning hogs is NOT a comprehensive blade test.
