@Ryan Boswood Hey Ryan, Thanks a lot! It is indeed as you say. We didnt want to do a cheap production in china. Even with that the knives would probably cost around 160-200 . And with that we wouldnt be able to stand behind the knives quality. The DBK knife now is far from cheap but we can 100% be proud of it and stand behind it's quality. Thank you so much for the kind words and amazing support!

[@dris9274]

@Ryan Boswood I would have taken your comment into consideration if the price was something like 100 or 150usd but more then 300 for a fix blade? lol they have thousand of subsribers, be shure that they make a very good living, don't worries about them. and for that they deserve it but comming with a 350usd fix blade? aaaaahaha, i would do the same if i think that i can sell them

[@greekveteran2715]

His knife is more of a general use field knife/Survival style knife. DBK knife is more of a hunting stye knife, that can also work wood well enough, because of it's convex edge. Also, the DBK is made by TRC knives, which is the best build quality maker out there at the moment. (Heat treatment, blade geometry, fit and finish etc). DBK knife, looks like the clear winner.

Well done boys, you’ve already funded your knife by 460%

[@MountainFisher]

I might add that when I was tasked to be the heat treater for a machine shop only because I mentioned I made knives as a hobby. I would use drop-offs from jobs I HT'ed to make knives or axes. I had a bunch of S5 40mmx100mm flat bar pieces so I read up on forging it and made the hardest toughest ax heads you ever saw. I used a powdered charcoal Borax flux to keep the de-carb down while forging and during equalizing/anneal/heat treating I use Brownell's ATP mixed with the fine charcoal powder to cover the steel. Because of the low carbon count 0.60% one must be watchful of decarburization with this steel. I made the carbon powder by grinding pieces of charcoal with 120 grit belts. I made the axes a little "Viking/Norse" looking, but still great for felling or wood working. I ended up with 8 good axe heads over the space of three years. All HRC 59 to 61 hard and could chop through 16d nails without chipping. I cut some 40mm by 4mm thick slabs from pieces leftover over 200mm long and using stock removal made some great hunting knives that I sold with the axes. Luckily I kept one axe for myself, but alas only a small fixed pocket knife. You can barely file the edge being 60 hard. In my not very wide experience S-5 is superior to S-7 and 3V, but it is hard to find except as drill rod or some thick metric sizes from Europe. It is a little expensive too, more than L6 or O1, but not $300+ 3V expensive. As quenched in oil (Parks 50) S5 is 64 hard and a 500 temper gets you 60 hardness. It is so tough thick parts, like ax-heads, can be quenched in water, knives will warp though, but it doesn't crack. So if you want tough and edge holding try S5 tool steel.
