I do have a question for you Ankerson. Super wear resistant stainless steels have a reputation for lacking toughness. I'm talking about S110V and S125V and maybe even S90V. Now I know a high hardness S110V is supposed to be close to CPM 10V is wear resistance, but how tough is it? The OP referred to 10V as having D2 class toughness, is this true? And if so, how does S110V compare? Maybe 440c toughness?
And yes I know about the enormous difference between 10V and M4. But, I still love M4. Its a good fallback for me.
Well Farid made a Competition knife in 10V....
Those steels are tough enough if heat treated and tempered for expected use of the knives.
