Hi guys, can anyone enlighten me on the existence of the Scrapmax 460? According to Skunk's spec thread, it was going to be issued in July 2014 but I never saw anything. After getting a ZT 0566 I was really looking forward to getting a nice fixed blade in Elmax, and at $90 the value was going to be awesome.

There was I THINK three Elmax blades blades offered,

1. 340
2. 375
4. 460

Model numbers corresponded roughly to the blade length. I have a 375 and it is great!

Anyone able to enlighten us on this, blade lengths and when released?

I just sold my 375 really cheap... $50.

I believe they were first offered in a Ganzaa. Ill look into it and brb.

Looks like Debut 2012 Blade.

Jerry said this is a thread over on bladeforums:

Although this belongs on the Scrap Yard forum, where my drunken brother Dan could field it, I will point out a few points to consider.


The Scrapmax blades have a full-height flat ground bevel, whereas Mora style blades have MUCH shorter bevels that leave nearly 60 - 80% of the blade at full thickness. So, the Scrapmax blades are going to have a MUCH better slicing geometry than a Mora and are designed primarily, for slicing only. . . and at that. . . . they will excel ! ! !

If you beat on a Scrapmax blade with a hammer, it will most likely suffer a catastrophic failure. Lateral stress will likewise cause a lot of flexing, just like a filet knife. These are NOT heavy duty beaters . . . If you treat them like most of the other Scrap Yard models are meant to be treated. . . . they will die!!! . . .

So. . . .. "Slice Slice Baby. . . deh deh deh. . . . deh deh deh" (Sung to the tune of Ice Ice Baby!)

Let's Drink!!!

You're getting old skunk....2 posts after the one I quoted above you thanked the poster for the info lol.

And unless we are being punked, you listed blade lengths here lol :

Best I was able to determine the length I listed in the Knife Specs thread are according to Dan. But I have been wrong before and will be again.

Yeah I'm befuddled because it seems to be a mirage, vaporware, yet...there is a picture of it. I would have been all over a couple of these babies.

Those were the Blade 2012 and following Ganza Maxes (clip point 460 might have been from KC show, not sure anymore)


In the last year (KC, Blade) there seems to have been a few more variants, I think different blade shapes on the 460.

I saw that. If the power hadn't been out that morning you would be sending me a package in the mail.
