3Guardsmen - Benchmade fixed its chart

Hey 3G,
I have harrassed Benchmade as promised and they fixed their chart. The carbon content on 440C now shows as 1%.

Thanks Knarfeng. I hated that weak carbon listing every time I looked at that chart.

Benchmade seems to think that S30V (excellent corrosion resistance according to BM) is more corrosion resistant than 154cm(great corrosion resistance according to BM). That must be another mistake yeah?

Not if you ask Crucible, the producers of S30V.

Corrosion resistance chart is on bottom of page showing S30V to have higher corrosion resistance than 154CM. (At least in that test.)

Personally, either is more than corrosion resistant enough for me.
