  I've watched a few videos where someone almost makes the whole knife with an angle grinder. Man, they make it look easy. I've never seen the step on the steel as you grind it technique before 🤣. Give it a year or two, and you will be making it look easy, too. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey. It's a blast!

  The update from Larrin Thomas basically follows what Peters Heat Treat has been doing, it seems. That's still nice to hear- and I'd still consider harder better (if you can get a confirmed blade) in a smaller edc. Also I agree- Tactile nailed the hardness for the design.

  I understand that steel has many characteristics: rigidity, stainless steel, etc. But we are talking about steel on a knife, and the main task of a knife is to cut, therefore the duration of edge retention is the main indicator. And if you compare 14c28 with 20cv, then we are talking about a 3-4 times difference in edge retention, all other things being equal. Yes, 14s28 is easy to correct on a ceramic rod or leather with diamond paste, but personally I would prefer premium steel on an EDC knife than carrying the same worksharp tool.

• 
  @apex_alchemy_knives2 күн бұрын

  To each their own bro, I have never had a cpm20cv knife that has served me well. However...I've had plenty of M390 that you'll hear no complaint from me about. It's pretty much the same steel right? Edge retention is very important I agree but it's not the most important thing to me. It's cool if we are different. I've had some 14c28n that's out performed some 20cv ....even in edge retention...possibly because one was heat treated correctly and the other wasn't. Honestly though, I'll take high carbon / tool steels all day over any stainless I've experienced to date.

  @apex_alchemy_knives2 күн бұрын

  @@Warsmith_Honsou of course , I had a foray in 20cv that wouldn't hold an edge to save it's life. I had a cold steel 4max USA with a 56 hrc in 20cv...of course it was way too soft to hold an edge. Are you familiar with American Bladeworks ? Michael Martin is the maker over there. He would heat treat several blades at the same time, all going through the same processes, yet some blades would be 56-57 and some blades from the same batch would end up in the mid 60's. I have a para3 in 20cv that did ok but nothing to make me feel that's a superior steel to anything. I remember when it was the hot ticket s30v upgrade, and Ive bought several knives in it over the years. It's a steel I avoid now, simply because it doesn't seem to be consistent for most any maker. On that note, if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'd be willing to try a model that I haven't tried if the price makes sense. What I mean by that...if I can get a maxamet pm2 or a 20cv pm2 for a similar price ...I'll own 5 maxamet pm2's before I buy a 20cv model. Like I said , I'm all ears if you have any good suggestions 😎🤘

  Agreed on 14c28n-- it seems to be made for real, practical, use in the real world. Good D2 is good stuff, cheap D2 can be pretty questionable. 14c28n at 57 is too soft for a pocket knife. It's a little softer than ideal on a fixed blade
