in theory, easier to maintain...
However in my experience, even those of us with rudimentary sharpening skills can maintain an edge on INFI & SR-101, thus minimizing the need for any innovation designed to make edge maintenance "easier."
If you understand how to remove a shoulder & hit an apex from there it's a no brainer-- & that's where INFI really excels because it truly is one of the best balances of toughness, retention, and low maintenance of any tool steel or stainless I've EDC'd...YMMV
And additionally, unless you're some kind of freaking robot,
any hand-applied edge is gonna be asymmetrical to a greater or lesser degree anyways...is performance gonna be either enhanced or decreased on account of THAT?...nah, not where I live
So, I prefer a traditional edge treatment for the MAIN reason that my OCD edge junkie side had a hard time getting past....well....I'll just say it....the "asymmetric" nature of an asymmetric edge
Having said that, I'll end by recognizing that options & continuing innovation is just one of the things that makes Busse great-- I like my INFI in any flavor--
JUST BRING IT!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:
