? about S30V

[rdangerer]

I just asked a similar question in this same Spydie forum on Cowry-X and ZDP-189 ... Sal responded already:

Stuff sounds promising, although Rc65 and 20% chrome makes me want to ask some questions about toughness in use (lateral, side loads), and it would (IMO) require diamonds to sharpen I'd guess. If it's not as tough at S90V for a roughly equivalent level of edge retention, and is even more expensive, then one wonders what the value proposition is (other than exceptional resistance to edge rolling, and perhaps some points for pure strength.).

Thanks for the all of the information Sal. How dose Talonite compare to S30V in CATRA testing?

I used to work in a bar and use my M2 AFCK to slice lemons, limes and boxes. It was hell on the edge... think it was the acidic fruits.

I believe it is the sharing of information and cooperation between humans that has taken us out of the caves, and will bring us to the stars.

Beautiful sentiment.
