Enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, it achieves a commendable level of hardness and wear resistance, making it highly effective for standard culinary and everyday carry tasks. However, unlike its cobalt-bearing sibling 10Cr15CoMoV, it lacks the enhanced hardness and peak edge longevity that cobalt provides. Its primary drawbacks include a susceptibility to micro-chipping under high-impact conditions and a moderate difficulty in sharpening compared to lower-carbon steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory :\u003c\/strong\u003e  POCKET KNIFE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanism :\u003c\/strong\u003e  Ceramic ball bearings\u003cbr\u003eName:  Orca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade: 10Cr15MoV\u003cbr\u003eHandle:  Black G10 \u003cbr\u003eLock: Buttom Liner Lock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanism: Ceramic ball bearings\u003cbr\u003eOverall: 7.52''(191mm)\u003cbr\u003eClosed: 4.29''(109mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade: 3.23''(82mm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade thickness: +\/- 3.0mm ( finished product )\u003cbr\u003eBlade shape: Clip point\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHRC: 59-61 ( Coated blade \u0026lt; Silver blade, may HRC1-2 less）\u003cbr\u003eReversible stainless steel pocket clip\u003cbr\u003eNet weight: +\/-91g (3.21oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQSP Orca QS179-A2 - Black Coated 10Cr15MoV Clip Point with Black G10\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QSP Orca QS179-A2 takes the same Black G10 platform and adds a black coated blade for a non-reflective, low-glance finish.

It holds an edge noticeably longer than budget 8Cr13MoV steel, at the cost of a slightly less forgiving sharpening session.

Enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, it achieves a commendable level of hardness and wear resistance, making it highly effective for standard culinary and everyday carry tasks. However, unlike its cobalt-bearing sibling 10Cr15CoMoV, it lacks the enhanced hardness and peak edge longevity that cobalt provides. Its primary drawbacks include a susceptibility to micro-chipping under high-impact conditions and a moderate difficulty in sharpening compared to lower-carbon steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory :\u003c\/strong\u003e  POCKET KNIFE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanism : \u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic ball bearings\u003cbr\u003eName:  Orca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade: 10Cr15MoV\u003cbr\u003eHandle:  G10 with Copper and Aluminum Foil\u003cbr\u003eLock: Buttom Liner Lock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanism: Ceramic ball bearings\u003cbr\u003eOverall: 7.52''(191mm)\u003cbr\u003eClosed: 4.29''(109mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade: 3.23''(82mm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade thickness: +\/- 3.0mm ( finished product )\u003cbr\u003eBlade shape: Clip point\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHRC: 59-61 ( Coated blade \u0026lt; Silver blade, may HRC1-2 less）\u003cbr\u003eReversible stainless steel pocket clip\u003cbr\u003eNet weight: +\/-93g (3.28oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQSP Orca QS179-C2 - 10Cr15MoV Clip Point with a Copper Foil G10 Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QSP Orca QS179-C2 is the Orca with the handle that gets picked up first: G10 laminated with copper and aluminium foil, so the surface shifts between warm copper and dark metal as you turn it.
