Product Description
ELMAX is an advanced powdered metallurgy steel with extreme corrosion resistance, high compressive strength, and superior edge retention. For all of these reasons, it’s been chosen as the focal point in the ZT Rexford Read More
What I saw at other sites showed that this knife, BW, was produced with stainless steel. I have this vague memory of reading about this because of some sort of supply and demand issue. BHQ has a non-BW model that is clearly said to be Elmax for $150. Didn't check S&H. I've been buying too many knives lately. That is when I consider all my other expenses.
Hey everyone, thanks for making us aware that the Elmax knife is no longer produced in the Rexford. We are working with the vendor to get correct images and will bring the S35VN version to the site soon. For those of you who joined the drop, you will not be charged. Thanks for understanding, please reply to this if you have additional questions or concerns.
I have this knife (the ZT 0801) in ELMAX steel, without the blackwashing. To this date, it's one of my favorite knives, and I recommend it to anyone who's on the fence.
Massdrop should include the actual model of this knife, and provide accurate information. This is the 0801 Blackwash Rexford Design, no longer produced, and never offered in Elmax. Only the Satin/Stonewash finishes of this knife were offered in Elmax, to my knowledge, or only in limited/exclusive production runs. The rest of them are all S35VN. That being said, this price isn't bad for a knife of this quality, as the newer version in S35VN runs about $180-200. However, this knife can be had for what is like the same price or cheaper on many other websites including Amazon, Knifeworks, BladeHQ, etc once you factor in shipping and wait times.
DrekjeYes, my knife is the same knife with S35VN steel for the blade. It’s an awesome knife. I don’t think you’ll find a bad review on this knife no matter where one will look. And, for what I paid for in the end for this knife after receiving the credit(s) from Massdrop, it made it that much better (I should add that Massdrop, to address the errors of the previous drop for this knife, was quite generous). Without throwing Massdrop under the bus here, I really would be surprised if the steel included in this drop is Elmax..., just sayin’ .
Sami78Signs point to no. They've only ever sold 35 of these and there are at least 5 people on the comments that got s35vn. Not just in the first drop either.
Damn, I just got mine in s35vn I was really hoping for ELMAX
Edit:7/2/18 Massdrop refunded me $50 which is nice and all but the false advertisement still doesn't inspire much confidence. The allure of Elmax was the only reason I joined this drop.
