Hello Bladefolk!
Which steel quality (edge retention, toughness or corrosion resistance) would be challenged most by the exclusive cutting of limes?
The variable that I haven't seen discussed much is the cutting and subsequent wear from something so acidic. Or does all that acidity even change matters steel-wear-wise?
Asked another way... would I want this knife to have: great edge retention like S110V, toughness like 3V or corrosion resistance like H1? Epic combination of all? (If this were a pie chart, I imagine 'toughness' would have the small piece??)
I guess, assuming "all else equal" like blade geometry, etc.
What I'm getting at is, what steel is my ideal lime knife made of?!
Thanks for considering!
