Right on, Tom. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that D2 is some dang good knife steel.
Cliff, you can go on all you want about razor thin edges and how great they are, but in reality we know that most people want the durability and higher safety factor of a thicker edge, especially when they are taking one knife out to the woods (and may be cutting through some bone). And you continue to use your claimed "material property" of edge stability or now "edge strength" as a basis in fact, yet cannot even answer simple questions about the test baseline conditions, how the test for it is done, or how the test results for it have been correlated to knife use with thicker edges, slicing, or chopping.
And you are trying to compare your D2 blade test and the FFD2 test knowing full well that the tests are not comparable. It is not earth shattering news to anybody that a microscopically thin razor blade type knife is a good cutter. Now when you start chopping these edges into your concrete blocks please do check back in with pictures.
