Dan Certo 20006 MAP program http://www.usualsuspect.net/forums/s...80#post2159380 and http://www.relentlessknives.com/support2.html Check out the MAP PAGE for more details on the program, and updates. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED SO FAR ... if you haven't.....Please help us to show your Support for our fighting men and women  After the 2007 MAP Program is complete, we will be offering a special commemorative edition on Ebay S30V steel satin finish with blue steel guard Ivory Micarta handles and more watch this news letter for updates  50 cuts, 1" manila rope,3.4" blade.....Yep  A
customer asked if a compact Relentless knife, 3.5" blade, ordered for
use in his work as a horse trainer,would cut 1" manila rope 50
timeswithout resharpening. His job requires emergency thick rope cutting on a daily basis.I was sure a knife made from 5160 steel without enhanced heat treatments, which increases the price to that of a stock s30V knife would have problems doing this. . And I knew that S30v with stock heat treatment is hard to beat in the categorys that make knives useful tools, and is a very effective cutter, but, fifty one inch thick cuts with a 3.5" blade without even touch up is a job that most of todays most popular non exotic steels may find difficult.. So, I figured some cuttting tests were warranted in order to be sure the knife would handle the job. I contacted Ian, knowing he had several knives that would be perfect for the test. Since time was short, Ian did the tests within a day, and returned excellent photos of the ordeal. A report was really not required here, as the photos speak for themselves. Ready with a Relentless M4 Viper....SHARP....!   
 
That's it.The knife an M4 Viper with a 3.5Blade , Zone tempered, RC 58 on the cutting edge, powered but Ian Humphreys persistent hands performed the job with ease,, and without resharpening. and later sliced lunch. Thanks Ian.  |

 RELENTLESS KNIVES are 100% handmade by me in my shop. Each knife receives large amounts personal of attention and care that is just not available in a factory made knife.    Options include hand forging which makes a strong knife ....Super strong. Order YOUR Relentless Knife today........ Major Humphrey is out there, putting Relentless knives to the test.
His hard work and excellent feedback allow me to offer you knives that perform, in many environments.    One of the longest projects ever is the Back Packer/Water knife.We are working hard on this project, and Maj. Humphrey has put this particular design through an extensive battery of tests So what is the hold up....seems like a good enough knife. Well maybe it is, but I'm not yet satisfied. So far the design of this knife has lead to several real popular larger models, that work great, but when you really think about the sport of Kayaking, were you literally tie yourself into a little boat that is not real judicious about flipping upside down and staying that way while your still strapped to it.  Well,
I think the knife you carry to free yourself from this unpredictable
and often very dangerous situation, should be all that it can be no
matter how long it takes to get it ....perfect.
The
knife should stay on your hand while you are doing other things and
should have the ability to cut thick rope, nylon webbing and even thick
boat plastic very quickly.
There are lots of other concerns, so, we are taking our time . Several Sheath systems are being considered, and Ian has come up with some interesting new cord wrap ideas that we will outline and include in the final report and product.    We are also looking to make the knife great for Backpacking. . Seems easy enough, but what happens when your day hike turn to krap, and you find yourself in an unexpected survival situation. Will your Swiss army knife do everything required to keep you alive until help arrives.  Keep watching, as when the project is complete, we expect to have a knife that you won't ever want to part with. The style may take a turn or two in the process, as the knife below is a proto of the next phase of the operation.   |
