Never heard of it. Looked it up and found that the tungsten is a coating.

Has anyone made a blade out of tungsten carbide? Is it too brittle for that use?

The second page of the document has a form that you copy and paste into a self post on r/knives and you just answer as many questions as you can. Don't be afraid to leave anything blank you are unsure of.
For general all purpose EDCs my favorite right now are the Kershaw assisted openers made with the Sandvik steel. Disregard those MSRPs they are all close to double what they would cost on Amazon.
I carry a heavily modified Needs Work from Kershaw. But judging by the knife you posted you might like a Black Shallot. The Kershaw Leek is probably their most popular knife and I've met a coupld of different people who have been EDCing the same Leek for many many years.
Even if you like my suggestions you should still make a post asking for help with the r/knives guidelines. You might find something you like better.
[Kershaw Black Shallot] (http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-Shallot-Tungsten-coating-Handle/dp/B001H9BS2M/ref=pd_sim_sbs_200_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=21i2RG3ExuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=08JYNGH0H59EH9X5QPTG)
I'm looking for a good EDC knife that won't lose it's edge quickly, but at the same time, won't take me an hour to sharpen due to it being so hard. I also want it to be made of steel that won't bend easily when being used to pry. (I actually just broke the tip off my cheap $30, 4043 steel, S&W SWAT folding knife while prying open a can of wood coating. Though it was partly user error since I was actually prying the lip of the can instead of the edge of the lid... -.-)
While I have full tang 1070 steel bushcraft knife, I would like the EDC knife that I'm looking for to be durable enough to be used as a bushcraft knife if needed. I want one that will be very weather resistant, with preferably 100% rust resistance. (I live in WI, so snow, rain, cold, that sort of thing)
Here's the knife I'm looking at
Given my criteria, do you suggest this knife? Thanks.
I was in the same situation as you just a few weeks ago. I didn't know much about knives, but knew I wanted a quality pocket knife to carry around for utility. After posting on this sub and doing my own research, I decided to purchase the Kershaw Shallot. The Kershaw company website has it listed for a little over $100, but you can buy it on Amazon (100% Genuine, sold by Kershaw themselves) for $50-$60. I highly recommend it! Here's a link to the specific sub-model I purchased,
Black and non-serrated. Searching "Kershaw Shallot" on Amazon will show you all the other sub-models. Whatever you decide on, enjoy your knife!
I love my Kershaw Shallot. Here is the black one for $55 but you can find a few others on Amazon for just under 50 bucks.
I thought it was heavy at first but now I'm used to it. I clip it to the inside of my pants pocket so I can't really feel the full weight when I carry it, but it's definitely noticable when I don't have it with me.
I'm probably going to upgrade to a shallot soon.
oh my mistake. sorry about that. it's a Kershaw Shallot
Shallot?
