Product Description
Equipped with a 4-inch drop-point blade made from N690 stainless steel, the full-size Maserin Police Tactical Folding Knife is built for heavy-duty tasks. A cobalt-enriched, high-chromium-content steel hailing from Austria, Bohler's N690 offers many of the same properties as VG10: supreme hardness, ease of sharpening, and edge-holding ability, to name a few Read More
FWIW, from the knife steel chart app:
“Notes:
Bohler-Uddeholm steel, recommended working hardness 58-60HRC. Similar to VG-10. Later, Aichi produced pretty much identical(with N690), ZA-18 steel, promoted to be better a performer than VG-10.”
Marketing for “supersteels” is strong in the knife world. I find myself drifting away from the “supersteels” and gravitating to “lesser” steels due to ease of sharpening. I also find that I feel more “connected “ with a knife if I need to give it some some TLC and it is easy to give it TLC. Obviously, there are a whole spectrum of opinions about steel choice.
So what exactly makes this knife tactical and a police EMT knife. There is nothing tactical about it. But they can add the word and add $20 to the price. It’s a knife. Looks a lot like a lot of their other knives. Just sayin.
PHDGIt's a six-ounce knife with a steel skull cracker and the logo is a winged skull with a gladius through it, named 'Police' for some reason. If you can't see the fascy imagery in that I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe keep your personal attacks to yourself.
RayFIf they carry a knife I bet it suits their job better with a window punch and seatbelt cutter. Why do people always have to throw those words in there. It allows the price to get jacked.
I have read the N690 is just a grade above 440C. Anybody have good insight into this steel??
I find the knife very attractive. My research indicates that the resale value will be very good, especially
if I keep the knife is like new condition. Therefore, I see no issue with rolling the dice and purchasing one.
Why does it make a difference where a knife is made? Wow, lots of ways to answer that question. Personally, I prefer
to support U.S. economy and its knife making industry. However, I want some variety too.
I'm in.
GeorgeMXLate to the party but yes, just a little above good 440C, around the same as the Swedish stainless family, but well below 154CM (in rope cutting at least).
