All of the blades I own that are made of ATS-34 just don't cut it. And these are numerous. They sharpen easily but can't hold an edge! I'll cut one tomato with an ATS blade and find the edge dull...
I'll open a box with an ATS blade and end up with a dull edge. You name it, I'll cut it and the blade will be dull! And this is done with many different knives made of ATS ranging from custom Terzuolas, custom Emersons, to Spydercos and Benchmades!
ATS-34 CANNOT HOLD AN EDGE... PERIOD!
There exist knives that actually hold the razor sharp edge that you meticulously craft. But none of these consist of ATS-34.
I read numerous reviews that state otherwise, but have yet to experience such a phenomenon..and I own many knives crafted from ATS-34.
If I harbor such sentiments towards this steel, why do I possess such an abundance of them? BECAUSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, I HAVE NO CHOICE!!!
It is obvious that the market does not always dictate the superior product. In this particular case, the market trend propigates an inferior product.
Who can tell me why?
