Product Description
Designed by Raidops and made by Viper in Maniago, Italy—known as the City of Knives— this full-size folder boasts every bit of Italian craftsmanship you could ask for. The nearly 4-inch blade is made from N690 stainless steel for superior hardness, ease of sharpening, and edge-holding ability Read More
Anonomous and Spidey, you are right on the Begg $2,000 range midtechs. They are in N690 (kind of surprising for the cost). Those knives were never touched by Todd himself. I have the prototype Glimpse that is being made by WE in RWL-34 (just the prototype). The prototype was hand made by Todd himself. Todd is suing the California operation headed by his brother Mark and has disassociated with them. This news just broke this weekend. I'm not sure if the WE version of the Glimpse in G-10 and carbon fiber will go forward. The knives actually made by Todd start at around $5,000 and there is a multi year wait. Sorry for the mix-up. It is all pretty confusing with the Steelcraft series, the California midtechs and the actual customs.
I got my knife a couple days ago. It is really quite nice. Definitely worth the price. Already I think it is one of my favorite knives among the couple I own.

BOHLER N690
Our best conventionally produced stainless knife steel. Great value in a corrosion resistant knife steel with excellent edge holding capabilities. Additions of chromium and vanadium enhance edge holding capability, while cobalt and carbon help to retain high hardness. Hardens and tempers to 57-59 HRC and 60-62 HRC with deep freeze. For maximum toughness, harden and temper to 57-59 HRC. For maximum wear resistance, harden and temper to 60-62 HRC.

It looks a little mallninja, but that's not the killer. More companies need to tap holes for the clip screws in the other side. I'm left handed and I own about 10% of the knives that I would otherwise buy, but I can't carry them in my EDC spot.
Spidey12341Same here. I only took a quick look, but this appears to be an exceptional value (deeply discounted). It looks a lot like another Massdrop knife I purchased recently, so I'm not going to join this drop, but probably a wonderful EDC and with the window breaker, something of a stealthy, high quality tactical folder too. Love the blade shape, and excellent value steel, it's right up there with V10, and even easier to sharpen and keep clean. Should last many months of hard use, or a couple lifetimes of light EDC use. Another winner from Massdrop!
