![]() It makes it stand out and it gives it a decent combination of slicing and chopping usability. That’s not a bad thing though, and I’m a little confused by their calling it a drop point. That’s a sheer drop on the back of that tip, and the edge runs a straight enough line to count as Wharncliffe for me. Blaze Overall Length:Ĭamillus lists this knife as a drop point on their site, but I’m going to respectfully disagree. They don’t quite look like they used to now, but if nothing else, they’ve put some effort into providing their customers with a variety of designs, which is pretty rare in knives with smaller blades. If I recall right, this was the area Camillus really excelled in the old days. Titanium Folding Knives 3 Inches and Under I only cover folding knives here, but I’ll be putting up a quick guide to their fixed-blade knives pretty soon. I’m way too lazy to go through reviews and specification on almost a hundred knives, so instead I’ve picked out a few from specific categories and tried to talk about a representative sample from each. As of this writing, Camillus makes about 60 folders and 30 fixed blade knives with some kind of titanium coating. I had originally set out to create a comprehensive guide to all Camillus’ titanium bonded knives, but I vastly underestimated how many knives they’ve done this too. That’s just a science-y way if saying “This isn’t paint, it’s metal.” The important part is that it does make a really strong coating that adds significantly to the durability of the blade and creates a finish that doesn’t wear away or chip off under heavy use for a very long time. They also talk about the coating forming a “crystalline structure” which sounds impressive, but that’s what’s supposed to happen when you heat treat metals anyway. ![]() Camillus claims the carbonitride titanium formulation they put on some blades is 10 times stronger than… something.Īctually their marketing isn’t super clear on what it’s stronger than, but I assume they mean harder than if there weren’t any coating at all. It’s important to note that these are not full titanium blades, and you wouldn’t a knife made entirely out of titanium anyway. They’re basically cooking a combination of titanium and chromium nitride into the surface of the blade to make a stronger coating. Camillus is doing something similar with their blades. If you’ve ever shopped around for high-priced tools like drill bits, you’ve probably handled a few pieces treated with titanium nitride. These coatings actually add to the hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance of the blade. What Is Titanium Bonding and Carbonitride Titanium?īoth are essentially coatings on the blade, but it’s not like a mirror finish.
