Joe, see Jim Ankerson's steel edge-holding mega-thread here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...based-on-Edge-Retention-cutting-5-8-quot-rope
CPM-10V is considered an A11 class steel, and currently is the edge-holding king among knife steels.
Jeff, thanks for the referral to Jim's thread. :thumbup: A lot of great information there. I have viewed some of his information before, but I was always looking for a steel that I was more familiar with. This opened my eyes to 10V. I can see why it would be a tough blade to sharpen, it must be a pain for the maker to grind. And, like I said, I didn't realize Tony had some folders out there with it.
Remarkable steel, for sure!
Campbell, heed Mike's advice.
