Well guys I wanted to give you another update on this unbelievable knife. It has been a few weeks since I updated this thread on my current usage report on the durability of the 20CV.
I am still EDCing this knife every day and it is still performing every and any task that I need throughout the day.
Lately at work it has been a lot of wiring work. The other day I was making ground cables out of 8 gauge cable. It sliced through this wire like butter with almost no effort. I chose to use a reverse grip and pull the knife towards me to cut the wire while it looped around the blade. No damage at all to the edge, no rolling, no chips, just sharp, sharp, sharp.......
Fast forward to today..... I am organizing the garage and throwing away a lot of junk that needs to go. I cut up a ton of cardboard boxes, about 10 to be exact so far, and also cut up a lot of old wiring that I had laying around that was headed for the trash. This this is amazing, everything from speaker wire, old extension cords, made a repair to my circular saw that accidentally got cut........... Again......this knife just keeps on going and going.......its crazy. I have never experienced this type of edge retention before in any knife steel.
I really love this knife, re-grind, and blade steel. One of the best investments I have made in a long time.
Here are a few pictures from this mornings work......I am eating lunch right now as I type this......I will be heading back out to do some more clean up.
I have only touched up this blade once on my white SM stones. I had a section that had a light roll in the edge from some tough use. But other than this, the knife has only needed some stropping to bring it back to a scary sharp edge. At this point, it has never lost an edge to the point that it required a sharpening.......Just amazing.
