I am interested to hear your thoughts on the Vanadis 4 extra steel on this Molletta.

 

[BITEME]

The composition of Vanadis 4e looks similar to cpm-m4,what would be the advantage to using Vanadis 4e ?By the way the Enki is awesome looking,I have a pretty nice collection of other products by Molletta/collaborations. never beeen disappointed:thumbup:

Vanadis 4 is a third generation PM steel. It have better ductility and toughness than others steel with similar chemical composition.
Cpm-m4 is also a good steel.
