At first, I thought the gray Civivi handles were micro arc oxidation. That would be sick, but nope. Not all the micro arc oxidation finishes are the same, but I got one of the smaller rectangular shaped Rovyvon flashlight that has it, and I absolutely loved the feeling of it because it feels like a cool river stone in your hand. But then I ordered something else from them because I thought it would be awesome to have a larger size that felt the same way so I got one of their larger, rectangular models that also has micro oxidation, but it’s different somehow. The first one I got was more gray and almost look like and felt like stone but the second one I got was more white and it didn’t have the same feeling somehow. But that would be amazing if they started doing thaton the scales of knives. If someone doesn’t do that soon, I would be surprised because they’re missing out and we are missing out too.

M4 is really tough and has excellent edge retention but it's not stainless, if it's uncoated you just have to keep it clean and dry it off when you're done, it will get a patina if you like that if not get a coated blade, most companies tend to put a coating on it anyway. I really like M4, hope that helps my friend
A dagger in M4 is just not a match. Makes the price high because it's M4 and maybe they only did it to try and command that price. The dagger will never be hard use. More of a carry it in case I ever need it.
@@elgatofelix8917 Well if it was just for one knife that would be fine, but he would need to add “made in” or “assemble in” and then the name of the country.

I was interested in the Cold Steel M1 until I saw the word Italy on the blade. It's pretty much guaranteed a bad heat treat that'll make the magnacut perform like a $10 gas station knife.
Probably being made by MKM and that means 60-61rc on the magnacut that's way to soft in a folder but for a really hard use focused knife that's really made to be wreneched on the softer temper may not be such a bad idea. The heat treats they do are not bad, the quality of heat treat is actually very good considering the volume of knives they put out in a year... The heat treat it's self isn't what the issue is with the soft steels that's all in the temper to bring down the hardness to the levels they want.
@EDCandLace Maybe it won't be too bad. I just see way too many blades made in Italy with way too low hrc for the steel. To be honest, I only trust Spyderco and certain custom makers to optimize heat treats anymore. If you're paying for a premium knife with a premium steel, it shouldn't be hampered by a low hrc.
It is amazing that the companies around Maniago have been making knives for over 150 years and yet they can’t figure out heat treat or how to make a knife. But knife influencers and people in the comments know better. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

What's in the box!! Lol

Where's Seth.?
