Hello all,
I'm looking at ordering a Custom Shop Barrage, and would like some opinions / recommendations on which blade steel to go with. I'm looking at the M4 steel and the 20CV steel. The M4 comes with Cerakote, the 20CV does not. If I go with 20CV, I will have it coated. Benchmade's rating for 20CV seems off. Fom what I have read about it, while not as tough as M4, it is tougher the the rating Benchmade gives it.
Does anyone have experience with either of these steels on a Barrage? I live in Arkansas and it gets quite humid in the summer, which is why I am not sure which steel to choose. This knife will be part of my EDC set, as I carry two. One of which will be a Buck Vantage Pro with S30V blade steel or a Benchmade Rift.
Thanks for your replies!
