They look like very solid knives and the ram Lock has the makings of a robust system. I was excited to see these, but I will probably never own one until they start getting thier heat treats rights. On a cheap knife you can expect suboptimal but for premium prices you should get materials that have the performance to justify that price, I feel the same way about Hinderer knives in that regard. If you just collect and never use that's your choice, but for the ones that do use them it's kind of a ripoff. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

According to Larrin Thomas, the tweak Bohler added to this version of M390 offers improved edge retention, corrosion resistance and polishability. He concedes it could have increased edge retention if the carbon content was raised, but greater corrosion resistance and polishability are unlikely. Furthermore, all of this could be accomplished by a heat treatment to get a higher optimum hrc. Additionally the MK probably stands for Microtech Knives. Finally, it is very likely that this could be a marketing scheme to create a buzz for some new sexy steel.

I really like the stitch, but don't know that I would carry it. Was checking knife laws in Iowa where I live and it comments on "dagger shape" being illegal. Not that it's a dagger, but explaining that in a legal debate sounds not very promising. I've never had to use a knife in self defense but who knows? I got paranoid weeks back and stopped carrying my elementum button lock for the same reason with gravity knives being illegal here too. Which is really frustrating I absolutely love that knife!
