70HRC with a special stability focused heat treatment protocol.
Huge thanks to my friend Larrin Thomas and the invaluable knowledge he shares with Knife steel nerds

Interesting. Interesting bcuz I think everything ur doing for rex 121 is just a different approach. I'm definitely picking up a stone in the fall. The finished product will be probably very hard to let go. Given how things are playing out, I'm witnessing a masterpiece in progress 🤘

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Wow unreal........ Isn't that something!!!!! I'm impressed!!!!!!

[@skycorrigan6511]

I need Rex 121 in my life

[@mattbiek]

Man you are somewhere between NASA and Gandalf the Grey when it comes to knife steel

[@BurnDuration]

How does CPM Rex 121 compare with CTS Maxamet? I view these as the two gladiators of the modern super steels.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race With This Stuff!!! Great Job B!!!

[@latro_8078]

man, that would be killer for a set of super thin paring chisels.

[@skycorrigan6511]

"extreme lateral" had me crying

[@Dreweldeenknives]

Lol

[@zachstuff]

I learn so much from you! Thank you!

[@Nate196501]

Are you using the CBN metallic bonded stones from Gritomatic? I thought you were for a while.

[@jusme8060]

Do super steels really matter if you're not just cutting cardboard all day? I bring many different steels to work and cut all kinds of stuff, they all seem to dull around the same time. I'll have to touch every steel I've tried when I get home so is there really a benefit?

[@jusme8060]

*touch up

[@FearNoSteel]

How you sharpen them is extremely important for the longevity of the sharpness.

[@southerncross100]

Handy little knife profile.

[@FearNoSteel]

Thanks Mick

[@southerncross100]

Have you thought about having the blanks water jet cut to free up more of your time?

[@FearNoSteel]

@@southerncross100 I haven't settled on a particular steel or shape I like. I enjoy living creativity and exploring. Otherwise I can't learn what I need to push the performance.

[@troah3280]

Not sure you'll see this, but do you sell these knives?

[@atomedgesharpening]

(atomedge_sharpening on IG here) Dude, you have nice skills grinding. Even off the sander those bevels shit all over some manufacturers known for tall flat grinds factory finish... Awesome man.

[@FearNoSteel]

Thanks brother.

[@Divici02623]

Are you saying that I can destroy my indestructible proto pipe with this thing!?😮

[@fixedfuji]

Do you find yourself having to flatten your CBN waterstones after sharpening the high carbide, high hardness tool steels?

[@FearNoSteel]

Nah, more information this fall

[@PATISHAH]

Hey man! I want to make knife for nail carving. Can you please tell your opinion, which steel to choose?

[@vadimvadimov5093]

Сталь для ножа практически идеальная, вызывает только затруднения при заточке в полевых условиях

[@cp1532]

Incredible!

[@knivesandstuff]

nice testing.

[@robertherrick9186]

Are you going to thin that out like you typically do or leave it there?

[@FearNoSteel]

I like this one like this. We'll see what we see.

[@robertherrick9186]

Big Brown Bear Right on man. That is going to make one bad ass knife.

[@FearNoSteel]

@@robertherrick9186 thanks homie

[@semdijkstra9784]

[@FearNoSteel]

[@brandonroberts6815]

[@aray9628]

Very cool 👍👌

[@Doinitwell007]

What material would handle that test with the same geometry

[@Doinitwell007]

I think maybe 3v ? Cruware or pd1

[@Doinitwell007]

Would like to know . Something has to be able to

[@Outpost_76]

I love it

[@FearNoSteel]

Thanks man :D

[@wross5961]

Think Japanese had it right with softer steel in the middle with hard metal sandwiched on top for durability.

[@chriswebb3018]

You got that reversed

[@Vivallamannen]

😂

[@손홍석-o4x]

영상 뛰어넘어서 깎는거만 보고 뭔 연필인줄 알았는데 쇳덩이 보이는거 보고 갑분싸 저게 황동이었다고요?

[@FearNoSteel]

예, 황동입니다. 시청 해주셔서 감사합니다

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

This made me physically cringe
