BOCO Knife: Buy Once Cry Once - TRC Polheim Magnacut 

A collaboration perhaps between everyone's favorite Aussie knife reviewer and the world's most thorough scissor tester?

Count me in as a crazy cat man too. Although I have a stray and a Persian

TRC kydex is by far, the best in the industry, exceeding all the others.

Hi, I own a South Pole Elmax and a This is Freedom in M390, since you own two i have a question for you, do you have any issue with rusting on the Elmax South Poles? I'm now getting to buy a Polheim couse i would expect better corrosion resistance and for my use i find the South Pole a little too thick and long, so Polheim might be better couse the size is a little smaller. I'm a hunter and any time I use my south pole and do not wash and dry it very well right after use i then find small rust stains on it after only 4-5 hours. On the TIF in M390 i never never had any rust stain, but i have noticed that Elmax on South pole has a much better edge retention and i absolutly like better the grip on the handle of the South Pole

@@francescochiapponi1208 I own several knives in Elmax, from TRC I own four: 2x South Pole (the older version with screwed handle scales and a new version with Apo finish), an Apocalypse and a Speed Demon (older version in Elmax, the new are in M390). So far I had no problems with Elmax and corrosion, not with the TRC knives and not with knives from other manufacturers. Elmax is actually well corrosion resistant, Elmax has 18 % chrome in the alloy and for example M390 has 20 % chrome in the alloy. The difference in corosion resistance should actually be minimal! I am not a hunter and have no experience with blood and steels. With fruit, vegetables or plant juices on the blades with Elmax I had never corrosion.

Don’t let the small minority of the loudest people from either end of the spectrum detour you. The silent majority are with you...

Underrated comment

One day you will and then $400.00 will be a cheap knife. Its a vicious cycle.

I work scaling manufacturing processes for a living and I’m pretty skeptical of guy, he seems to moan and complain about what most manufacturing engineers would consider routine process development challenges when scaling production with a brand new material rather than showstoppers that would delay production for years. I think that that’s mostly guy making excuses for him being years late on manufacturing, likely because he set a price on pre-order knives before doing process development to find an actual cost of goods that’s profitable for him. I have not seen him show that knives with the “defects” that for some reason only he can find (despite claiming that they can be seen during grinding) fail unexpectedly or are worse then the ones “without” them.

Please do share some of those makers you'd highly recommend. There's a few I can think of but I'm always interested to learn of others I'm unaware of to expand the collection! Thanks!
