Quiet Carry's pocket carry is understated and exceptionally well built. Quiet Carry's Bryce Alexander methodically designs, uses best in class components and delivers with clean, sleek & under-assuming presentation that surprises with tough performance. As Bryce states:
The overall design concept was to create an EDC knife that is discreet and can crossover as something you can carry to the office or even dress up a notch more depending on the finish. Jeans to slacks and dress wear, and rides in the inside coat pocket well.
We are proud to be releasing the The IQ Knife in our own Drop rendition with a tactile easy pluck out of the pocket.

The failure to provide answers to my questions about HRC and the Cryo treatment leads me no alternative but to think about buying that new Cold Steel Kris. Of course, if you told me the the HRC was 58 and the cryo treatment was dry ice, that info would lead me to the same place.

Thank you! I have the chance to have to speak English daily at work, and I have to admit this daily practice made a huge difference in my proficiency! And I love English, that's one of those languages where I feel like the way words sound does convey their meaning really well, I often can get more or less what an English word means even if I don't know it, just from the way it sounds.
It is really super interesting to know about other people's vision about languages "oddities", as a French what I find amusing with English is that an English word can often have multiple meanings (like "dull" for instance ^^), whereas with French that's often the opposite, we have a myriad of different words to express a single thing. But that's also what I love about French and I guess that's one of the things that make it so hard to learn for foreigners, there are so many words to say a thing, and most of them bring a slight different nuance to your sentence, allowing you to either really express exactly what you meant, or sound like an idiot. (and to be honest, even most Frenchies can't speak French properly, so I won't blame foreigners having a hard time with it, haha!)

In case you (or anyone else) are interested, I just ordered one directly from QuietCarry (the black Ti+CF version), and as they didn't have Elmax blades left, they offered me to replace it with a CPM20CV one, which I'm quite happy about. Thought I would share the info, as it might still be possible to get a 20CV one! (which to me feels like a nice upgrade, but I don't want to start a steels war, Elmax is great too! But having a blade steel different from the usual one makes it a bit more "exclusive", and 20CV is a really great steel)

Let's try again, John. I just finished reading a lot of reviews concerning this steel. Most people felt that the optimal HRC was around 61. Here is the a comment by a member of BF.
"I am remembering a discussion I had with someone a couple of years ago about Elmax. Can't remember who, but it was someone who had used the stuff. I do believe that Elmax is pretty darn tough (for stainless steel) and some people leave it a bit soft in order to enhance that toughness. His opinion was that you don't really give up much in the way of toughness by going over 60Rc, but what you gain is abrasion resistance, etc, that is not worse than like 80% of that you get with the crazy allowed stuff like M390, etc. and a steel that is tougher, easier to work with and a bit cheaper. One other thing I picked up for the B-U guy at Blade is the it really needs LN cold treatment for maximum effect. It is one of those alloys that needs to get about 15-20 degrees colder than you can typically get with dry ice.That is consistent with most of the other things that I read. Several commentors stated that most production knives with Elmax were run at 58-59 and that was really a waste. Are you willing to state the HRC? Are you willing to state whether or not you use a liquid nitrogen cryotreatment? Tnank you.

I am not familiar with this company. There was not a lot of enthusiasm for their products on BladeForums.

If I am going to pay for Elmax, I want to know the HRC. Anyone know that datum for this product?
