These full-tang knives are built with stainless steel blades and micarta handles, which means they provide a sure grip and will hold up, task after task Read More
I remember knives from the 70's that were made of "Stainless Pakistan" or "Stainless China". Anybody know which province of "Stainless" these come from?
Pete did a pretty funny review of the large recently: https://youtu.be/0u-lnyJmab8
TLDW: a serviceable knife that's a little soft for the firestarter but overpriced at MSRP.
bookworm13Bear in mind he was quoted a price of $200USD for the larger knife alone when making his conclusion of its value.
At this price, it's much more competitive and probably a pretty good starter set for someone, the build quality and ergos are there, it's weakness is the meh steel.
The Dutch bushcrafters do a pretty good review on this one. They found the steel to be a little soft and I think they said it wasn't a true scandi grind.
Is this a special run? The initial release of these knives featured blue micarta scales with red liners, but these pictures seem to be mostly in monochrome.
As for the steel, it is Victorinox's usual, high-quality stainless, 4116, and the knives are made by Muela, in Spain. Although 4116 doesn't have the caché of exotic crucible steels, it is well-proven in the field.
gcvrsai believe these are the same blue/black micarta. And i agree about 4116, folks often get too worked up about types of steel with out any hands on of how they actually perform. 4116 is no 3V but still plenty tough and stainless for an outdoors knife.
It looks like there are three knives in the pictures... or else they have something labeled wrong... there are two pictures of knives with jimping, one labeled “large” and one labeled “small”, along with another knife that has a different blade and handle shape.
These look like they are made in Brazil and since drop got the oh-so-rare photos without a country of manufacture identifier I will just assume these are made in Brazil by an underemployed steak-knife manufacturer.
Can't even tell if this was intended to be sarcastic or not lol
Drop didn't make it, so I'm not blaming them for the materials or the original retail price....but they know their blade customers here expect to know what steel type they're getting.
But I also think Vic has lost their mind on this rebranded cash-grab of a product in general
