Special Forces Knives ! ! ! by FirstEdge

[OPA Extreme]

Hey Gang,

Here's a brand called "First Edge Knives".. Apparently they make knives for Special Forces. They Have Various Options, and I'm promoting some of them on my site.
Re: Folder Models: I've only chosen to promote the Drop Point models (manual & Assisted Opening) ... and the Modified Tanto model (manual & Assisted Opening).... there's a regular Tanto option, but tip is on thin side, and not best for prying, so believe the modified Tanto (is bit thicker towards the point), is the better version.

Check them out and let me know via PM or email to my business email. ... I can bring this in this Month (none in stock at moment).

Many of you already seen my previous thread on these.... I've started new Thread, as these ALL are NOW w/ NEW Reduced Prices !! Yahoo !!

I love the ESEE & TOPS knives I sell on my site as well, but these are pretty Bad Ass (heavy use) knives, with Ultra Premium Steel... Really can't beat that, w/these new lower prices !!

Oh, I'm trying to find video of the load test they did on the folders with their "tacklock" mechanism, that took Over 1,000 lb load test and lock did not break !!.. Actually, the post pushing down on the knife, broke first.. (those who don't know, most folders only handle 150lbs to500lbs... few less/more).

WOW !! .... That's Superior Locking Strength.... will post it when I find it..

Here's video review... guys stands on one of the Fixed blade models while stuck in log, and blades holds his weight .. Again, Wow !!

ELMAX™ STEEL –THE IDEAL STAINLESS STEEL FOR KNIFE BLADES

FirstEdge™ is proud to offer ELMAX® Steel in our premium knife products. Produced by Bohler-Uddenholm of Sweden, ELMAX® is “High Chromium-Vanadium-Molybdenum” alloyed steel, made of 18% Chromium, 3% Vanadium, 1.7% Carbon, 1% Molybdenum, 0.8%Silicon, and 0.3% Manganese. This composition of metals results in a superior stainless steel alloy with high wear resistance, superior corrosion resistance, and high compressive strength. The ELMAX® advance powder metallurgy technology allows for these rare performance capabilities. The steel is hardened to 60-61 HRC, resulting in excellent edge retention and high impact resistance. It is easily sharpened and holds an edge as well as carbon steel alloy.

Comparative testing of ELMAX® versus other stainless steels show superior performance by ELMAX®. Other steels may perform in one aspect, but are weaker in others: tough but difficult to sharpen; sharp but prone to corrosion and rust; rust-resistant but a softer blade. ELMAX® performs without trade-offs. Using the industry standard, CATRA (Cutlery Allied Trades Research Association), Edge Retention Test, ELMAX® scored higher than other stainless steels at 62 HRC. In the TCC (Total Cards Cut) Test that measures the number of silica impregnated cards that a knife can cut at one time, ELMAX® placed second with 930.7. ELMAX® steel at 61 HRC performed better than other stainless blade steels, even those at 57 HRC, despite the fact that a lower HRC has been viewed as stronger.

ELMAX® steel is ideal for Survival, Outdoor and Underwater applications where high durability, toughness, and corrosion resistance are critical. ELMAX® knives withstand extended exposure to moisture, extreme temperature change, and constant heavy use. Other applications include Hunting, Fishing, and Food Service where sharpness and ease of sharpening and robustness are critical features.

The model 5150 is arriving next week or possibly next one...and it's unspoken for ..... pound for pound, this is a heavy duty blade !!

I sell and love the ESEE knives and not taking anything away from them at all, but anyone considering an ESEE 4 or 5 or 6 model, should take a serious look at the FirstEdge 6050 (Rival the Model 4) and the 5050 (Rival to Model 5, similar size) and the 5150 (Rival the Model 6)...

The FirstEdge are a bit higher priced then ESEE or TOPS and few other brands... but these have ELMAX Steel !! which is way better in pretty much all Categories of steel characteristics... Thus, a Great choice for hardness, tough, durable, sharp, long edge retention, Stainless Steel blade. These are NOT as PRETTY as the ESEE's are, but not designed for looks.

The 5150 is avail. next week.. and any others will have to come in on my next order....
