I know this is at one level just a Spyderco question, but what I'm really interested in is feedback about 440v in a small blade. Another thread about this steel has been almost totally given to one man's experience and a bunch of theoretical analysis.
What's actually happening to all those BF Native 440v blades out there? How are the edges holding up to the ravages of letter opening, gluey box cutting, article collecting (including encounters with staples), string cutting, nose hair trimming
, etc.
I was about to order one of these, until I began following the 440v thread. Then I began wondering whether I should just get a regular one at half the price.
