how hard is kershaw running their elmax on the 560? i'm so tempted to order one

Don't know the hardness and don't really care. I have the 0551 and along with others can back up that ELMAX is a really supreme steel that will take a hairsplitting edge (there are pictures of it somewhere).

i know it's a good steel. but with a good heat treatment it's even better.

benchmade is usually soft where spydero is usually on the money. same steel different performance. i'm prob still going to get it if i can get rid of my bm 805

Where did you get your source information on that if I may ask. My BMs in D2 & S30V are really rugged. Knifenut1013 commented on how tough they were to sharpen, idicating a hard heat treatment.

why is everyone attacking me i asked for the dam hardness. and many people have said it. i had a m4 grip that was soft i cant comment on all of their steels i just used their m4 as a reference
 
I didnt mean to attack you ......I was just saying that not all knives are bad , all companys make mistakes , not all M-4 is bad.
Again I didnt mean to offend you in anyway.
I was just sticking up for my knives , spyderco and BM ......... Ive yet to have a bad one.

I agree. I don't see any attack going on man. You''re 5x5 good to go! I just wanted to know where you heard that. I have 2 Benchmades an they are some really hard blades. Knifenut was probably hung over when he posted that. :D
 
i'm sure bm m4 is still good stuff and would prob be tougher. it just wont be anywhere near m4 at 63. any1 know what kershaw is running their elmax at?
 
I personally find BM's steel on the softer side too. My favorite BM steel is 154cm, they know how to handle that one very well.

I wish I knew the answer to this, but Jimmer or Thomas will most likely answer your question soon. I hope it isn't 63, crud I have a hard time sharpening AUS6 LOL. Oh wait that's right I don't use my knives. Ha

If you want m4 at 63 get a Gayle Bradley. One of the Best knives Spyderco has ever made. Syyderco does a Much better job with HT than Benchmade IMO.

Sorry got Way off topic.
