H1 reminds me of 1075/1095.

[Cajun93]

I've handled, worked with, and sharpened many steels. In my honest and peculiar (ironic) opinion, H1 performs like 1075 or 1095. They sharpen quickly and very keenly. They get SHARP. They don't keep the edge all that long compared to modern vg10, s30v, etc. They both are super tough. They can roll relatively quickly under hard stress but can be cleaned up in similar times on stones. Oddly enough, one is rust PROOF, one rusts quickly.

I understand the HUGE difference in composition and intended use.

Anyone else noted similar qualities?

 

[Nal0n]

Yes! But H1 is all about withstanding prolonged contact with salt-water.

I guess 1075 or 1095 lose by a lot compared on that quality...

OP have you experienced a Serrated Edge blade yet or only PE?

 

[Lineman1]

Hmm, is it worth picking up a knife in H1?

We're members of a knife forum. Of course it's worth it! And the Spyderco Salt series isn't crazy expensive so it's not too difficult to give one a try.

Good point.

Sigh. *pulls out wallet*

It's the only knife I'll take to the beach.
