New MIKOV autos available...
Hi guys,
Maybe you remember the thread "Mikov change" where I asked you for your ideas how should Mikov improve their production. Well some of your ideas finally came true....
Better steel: Mikov now uses RWL-34 steel for some of their blades. The blades are marked RWL-34 and numbered. I have fist 10 pieces (numbers 1-10). They have the exclusive grind, fileworked backspring and blade. RWL-34 is the hardest component of the damasteel Mikov uses - with HRC up to 61. The price is 50.00 USD over the exclusive knives with regular blade. That includes new style of sheath.

Also all new damascus and RWL knives have thicker liners...

You are welcome... but the damascus (RWL34) is actually Swedish powder damascus (it is folded but by BIG machines) and the regular steel used on Mikovs is from Germany ...DISTORTION wrote:

RWL-34 appears to be VERY similar to ATS-34 with the addition of a "touch of" vanadium and minus a bit of phosphorus and sulpher???? It should be excellent
[sulpher in ATS-34???? doesn't impress me if that's right]
The analisys on RWL-34 appears "tighter" [less variation]
