    Thanks so much for the overview brotha! Glad to hear you are a fan of the design. From what I’ve seen and heard from Kizer, it looks like the initial goal for hardness was 60-63, with an achieved hardness of 62-64. Very excited to see a test on this!

    Now that is a beautiful and ergonomic design. I like that it's not a flipper tab, just so it doesn't have that bump when it's open (between your fingers/the blade).

    I got 3v steel! 10v steel! S35vn!
    AMAZING designs at fantastic prices!
    Cold steel type vibes for sure price vs material
    What's their basic steel 154cm? I'm coming around to that(I always gave it s#&! Because of the name) never liked it, but was cool with CPM-154.

    I absolutely love Kizer knives. They make up over 50% of my entire knife collection. But, the last two premium knives that I bought from them have had issues. I bought the Gemini in titanium and s35vn and when I got it, they'd done such a weird and terrible job sharpening that they actually changed the shape of the blade near the tip. It looked awful and was very frustrating, especially with a premium knife. I don't know if it was some Rookie's first day, but when you're getting a premium knife that is inexcusable especially nowadays. I also bought the ppy in raffir and brass. Such a beautiful knife! But once again, when I got home I noticed that there was a dent in the blade of the knife that was large enough that it went up past the height of sharpening choil and I don't know if I want to risk sharpening it out! On top of that, it also has absolutely terrible stick to it and it's so hard to deploy the blade that I can't do it by reverse flicking and can only thumb flick it. It Rockets out when it deploy is because it takes so much force to deploy it! I'm definitely no expert with knife repair, and Unfortunately, both knives were final sale only from House of knives so I couldn't return them. It's the only two times I've had an issue with Kizer knives, but those two knives cost about $500 Canadian total and it's definitely frustrating

  • @Cid_1
    @Cid_1 10 місяців тому +1

    From what I heard the hardness of this Rex 45 blade is between 61-63HRC. I really hope Kizer manage to get it as close to 63 as possible. But I don't think it will be a "bad" performer even at 61, though you won't get the absolute maximum potential out of the steel. And I don't think it's a bad price for what you get. PS: That hardness range was given when I asked Paul Munko, and that's the range he got from Kizer.

    @55brutus84 10 місяців тому

    Something that’s happened that kind of goes unnoticed is that these steels are now being named instead of composition references (like knives) and it’s f*cling awesome. I am wondering if buyers can assume the steel, then, is properly heat treated since it has a name. Magnacut better be magnacut, red45 better be rex45, and cry-wear better be cru-wear. Right? What do you think???

    I certainly don't have all the time in the world, however I did buy one...and I make knives. I have the ability to test mine. I'll release results on mine but keep in mind that different batches may have different numbers. I have soyderco para2 in s90v with a 54 rockwell and of course...according to the comment section, I'm a liar. 😅. Anyway, I guess I'll be the first to post results on this model unless LTK beats me to it. The race is on. 😎🤘

    Dude I have complained to Kizer for about 2 years now, that they need to start listing their hardness range on their steel. Hopefully, if reviewers keep harping on it, they will listen and start listing the HRC range (at least on their website). I basically had to ask and ask in the Kizer group to get the hardness of their Elmax, CPM 3V & 4V, 20CV/M390.

      @Cid_1 10 місяців тому +1

      @@Dingersandstrikes From what I remember it was the standard 59-61 HRC, Elmax was 60-62hrc, 4V 61-63, S90V 60-62. Not sure if they have stuck with that for every model. Would be really nice to see Kizer list their HRC. Also have the community do third-party testing with people that have (or have access) to Rockwell equipment. That way we can address Kizer if they need to step up their game (again).

    What a waste. To put that kind of steel with its properties into some over-stylized and "look its special" (but really its boring and IMO ugly) Ti frame lock knife with some weird and less useful blade shape. Make a bigger Escort or an XL Drop Bear with a 3.5" blade, full high-end micarta scales in Rex45 THATS a useful (and cool) knife... Ti frame/liner-locks are about as _UNDESIRABLE_ as a knife can get to me.
