RaidOps LJ6GP MT
Review
RaidOps LJ6GPMT* EDC BackUp knife CPM S30V stainless steel! G10 scales** WOW! |
CPMS30V Powder metallurgical steel |
Huge chunky spine measured at 5mm! 0.2"! tapers to a slightly convex blade curvature via a hollow grind. |
Hollow ground to aid cutting power! Big Thumb / finger gimping, knife seen pictured ina size 8.5 hand. |
It's plain to get a gauge of the size of this knife when we compare it to a standard "Teklok"-type belt clip. see above and below images. |
A Lanyard hole completes the features of this little knife. |
The knife is easily held in a reverse grip. The polymer scabbard is made in Taiwan and the "Teklok"-like lock is made in China.
The fit and finish of the actual knife is excellent. The blade of course is designed by RAIDOPS in Korea and manufactured in Crucible Metals Powder metallurgical steel S30V steel. With stated hardness of HRC 60.
Closing the hand in a reverse grip, isn't a problem. |
According to Crucible CPM S30V can be easily hardened to HRC 60 yet but still retain toughness and with comparable if not better corrosion resistance to that of 440C.
Anyway, like all of my knife reviews, the RaidOps LJ6GP will be thoroughly tested in the field and I'll present my results on BushCampingTools for all to see. Also you can follow me on FaceBook
*RaidOps LJ6GPMT EDC BackUp/neck knife CPM S30V stainless steel, the "LJ6GP" stands for "Little John (as in Robin Hood) Version 6 Good Person"!
** These scales are the optional G10 scales bearing the RaidOps Logo, standard scales do not bear the RaidOps logo.
