the PACK knife is a project i have wanted to take on for YEARS. thanks in large part to the support of my family, friends, and fellow makers, i can finally get it off the ground!
the concept is not a new one. a high quality knife, basic in design, with no added garbage. nothing to inflate the price, or break, or fall off. just a well designed, basic knife. the largest plus in the concept is the use of high end "super" steels at a fraction of typical cost associated with a knife of that steel. when was the last time you saw a super steel sell for around $100, fully ready to fly?
the first run is going to be CPM M4. if you research M4 you find a few things. first thing? a ton of cutting competition knives are currently M4. second, you can have hardnesses all the way up to 65RC. mine will not be that hard, as it would be too difficult for the user to sharpen, generally speaking. you will also see that it does rust. with each steel, issues are present. CPM M4's issues are: difficult to sharpen at HIGH hardnesses and rust. its positives far out weight those small issues. it is ridiculously tough and holds an edge through alot of work. it is tough. stupid tough.
PACK Knives, as i am calling my knives in this concept, are simple and reliable. and an inexpensive way to get your hands on a super steel, usually reserved with a much HIGHER price of entry.
