Edition limitée du grip Doug Ritter

[Nhorel]

Aeromedix is excited to announce a limited edition of Doug Ritter’s RSK® Mk1 and Mini-RSK® Mk1 folders in Crucible’s CPM M4 high speed tool steel. CPM M4 represents the next generation high speed tool steel from the conventional M2 high speed tool steel used in Doug’s highly coveted previous limited edition run. The CPM M4 alloy has roughly 50% more Vanadium and a complimentary increase in Carbon compared to conventional M2, producing more hard vanadium carbides in the microstructure. This higher Vanadium content is made possible by use of the patented Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) powder metal production process. CPM produces a finer grain and more homogenous structure than conventional steels, the bottom line for CPM M4 being a combination of an edge that will stay sharp longer and higher blade toughness.



Please note that CPM M4 is not a stainless steel and while the blade is coated for protection, the ground edge and laser markings must be properly cared for to prevent rust. The coating is black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) with a semi-matte Tumbled Finish. DLC is a very thin (1.5 – 2 microns) but highly abrasion resistant coating that is bonded to the metal by physical vapor deposition (PVD) under vacuum. DLC is a much more abrasion resistant coating than the BK1 black coating used on the CPM S30V stainless steel blade of the standard RSK® Mk1.



Note: To protect your CPM M4 blade, Doug recommends Sentry Solutions TUF-CLOTH which applies non-toxic dry film corrosion inhibitors as a water-displacing micro-bonding crystal barrier against rust. You can add a TUF-CLOTH as an option to your Aeromedix.com M4 RSK® Mk1 order.



This limited run will be 240 pieces of each. As always, serial number 001 is reserved for the Equipped To Survive Foundation for future fundraising purposes. Benchmade has told us that we can expect deliveries in February 2010, but that is subject to the vagaries of production and out of our control. They will be delivered when they are done.



The general specifications are identical to the highly acclaimed standard Doug Ritter RSK® Mk1 and Mini-RSK® Mk1 with the following particulars:



CPM M4 blade steel, 59-61HRC
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Tumbled Finish (semi-matte) blade coating
Laser Marked "CPM M4" on front behind thumb lug, Doug Ritter logo on blade as normal
Laser Marked with three-digit Serial Number on reverse behind thumb lug, Benchmade logo and model number on blade as normal
Black Noryl GTX Handles
All Black Hardware
Parkerized Clip (now standard on all RSK Mk1 and Mini-RSK Mk1 except Pink)
Made in the USA by Benchmade Knife Company in Oregon City, Oregon
Limited Lifetime Benchmade Warranty
240 each, RSK® Mk1 and Mini-RSK® Mk1




Aeromedix is accepting pre-orders on a first come, first served basis, except that collectors of earlier limited editions and first production runs may specify their serial number and Aeromedix will attempt to satisfy your request (make sure you order under the same name previously used as that is how we keep track and please don’t bother requesting a specific number if you haven’t been a collector before). Orders will be limited to no more than 3 of each size to any one email and shipping address.



A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each Doug Ritter RSK® knife goes to support the non-profit Equipped To Survive Foundation.

Gnii?

[ilium]

Je ne suis pas souvent épaté par les séries limitées qui sont souvent d'une affligeante banalité par rapport à la version "normale" mais là, ils ne se foulent vraiment pas.

[oufti]

Waip, je comprend pas trop... A choisir je prends le S30V, pas de regrets donc

[Fouin'toc]

freddy va quand même en prendre un de chaque (voire plus) hihi

[Dark_Angel]

tiens ça pose la question S30V / M4, puisse que ce dernier est utilisé chez Spyderco et Benchmade pour des séries limitées ces dernier temps.
Quel est l'intérêt / désavantage du M4 vs le S30V

[Shengouille]

Bon, suis rassuré, j'ai commandé le S30V semaine dernière et je reçois ce mail ce matin, j'ai eu peur de passer à côté d'une affaire.

Suis vraiment pas un steel geek

Edit: puis

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Tumbled Finish (semi-matte) blade coating

ça me plaît moyen...

[freddy1]

freddy va quand même en prendre un de chaque (voire plus) hihi
