Posted this in the Traditionals, but I thought it would be a good idea to share it over here as well
Greetings you all
The two knives I carry and love the most are my Cv Peanut(either of them) and my Alox Solo.
Just yesterday I was curious if the edge holding of Case CV was that much better than Vic steel, so I did a simple cutting test.
I first sharpened the knives untill they would easily slide through a piece of cigarette paper.
Then I took a box of medium thick cardboard and made exact the same amount of cuts (20) with each knife using the whole length of the blade.
After this I tried to slice a piece of cigarette paper again and to my surprise did both blades have the same trouble of sliding through and teared the paper equally bad.
After ten strokes on the white side of my Spyderco Pocket Stone they were back to their sharpness from before the test.
So I guess there's not much difference in edge holding between the two steels.
Just wanted to share this with you all.
