What happened to the flipper on the orange one? Did you grind it off or something?

Alphahunter · Apr 27, 2011

My brother from another mother!

My gut is saying Vanax 35 since it didn't make it on the 0550. Strider has been using S110V in limited number. That would be nice on a sprint run of this knife.

agreed 100% I would to see it in coated M4 but that probably won't be an option. also M390 would be real nice.

Yes, it would. Bring on the M390!

Alphahunter · Apr 28, 2011

Is it that good? I know benchmade has been using it. I'm curious....

joejooee · Apr 28, 2011

yeah real good. I've heard from a few it's like a stainless M4

Cmon Thomas, spill the beans on the steel so all of us can get a good night sleep

That's an accurate description. The steel takes and holds a razor edge longer than the CPM stainless series. The way I understand it, CPM 1st generation PM is like having the carbides as fine sand, whereas 3rd generation PM is like talc powder. The result being better toughness, easier to sharpen to a razor edge/mirror finish, and the edge won't be as "toothy" like S30V because the carbides are even finer grained and more evenly distributed. Though I don't believe it's as tough as CPM-M4, it still seems to have a tendency to roll rather than chip, so it's tough enough:thumbup:.
