^ i wonder how that ZDP would stack up being run harder (65HRC or higher)?


i wonder what hardness yuna is running their ZDP and m390 at?

I have an Endura 4 in ZDP-189 at 65 HRC (Tested) and M390 still beats it.

Alloy Content is a big factor, M390 has a lot of Carbide Content (Vanadium, Chromium and Molybdenum) while ZDP-189 is Mostly Chromium Carbides.

i'd like to take your m390 knives and cut very visible notches on their edges with my zdp endura.

peace guys!
