Busse Combat's INFI3v is an all-around beast of a steel ! Nothing really compares imo
Haha would like to know where you heard that? To the OP, both are going to handle whatever put them through. All depends on the HT.read somewhere m4 work hardens and those in competition cutting use it but say it has a limited lifespan. dont know any of that to be true, just read it on the internet.![]()
To me, M4 seems to take a better edge and is easier to sharpen. 3V holds an edge through a crazy amount of work.
found it on another forum post...cut and pasted rather than linking .......this post came from Ed SchemppHaha would like to know where you heard that? To the OP, both are going to handle whatever put them through. All depends on the HT.

well in fairness i took that post away from a bigger topic, so its a soundbite now. there was some more talk on not really work hardening with cliff stamp, more so other reasons for cracking and failure....... but the cracking and wearing out wasnt doubted by anyone on that thread in those competition uses.I find that hard to believe. I've gotten involved with Bladesports and have not heard anything like that from the competitors. Checked with Donovan Phillips and he said not so.
