I own nothing in XHP so I can't say about it.I was looking at a master tanto or tai pan in 3v as i have never had anything in this steel. i didn't think it was supposed to be that difficult to sharpen? thats just going off what i have read? Smilling, did you find it much harder than say XHP?
Congrats on your purchase. Any pics?
That's an excellent deal. Most people toss the box anyhow. What happened to the San Mai Tanto XII you were considering?I just now grabbed a deal on a Warcraft Tanto 13TL , 7.5" blade in 3V for a good discount due to damaged box . ~$133 plus tax , delivered .
I wanted a longer blade , but at least this is 3V and I've never owned any of the Warcraft series or any 3V blade .
Probably more practical to carry than a longer blade , so I might get more actual use from it .
I'm a slightly stoked up to try it out !![]()

My 3V Master Hunter was maybe slightly harder than my XHP CS folders to sharpen, but not by much and I’ve sharpened both just fine without diamond stones.I was looking at a master tanto or tai pan in 3v as i have never had anything in this steel. i didn't think it was supposed to be that difficult to sharpen? thats just going off what i have read?

Ceramic or Silicon? I might try to use ceramic side of my Fallkniven DC4 to sharpen next time.My 3V Master Hunter was maybe slightly harder than my XHP CS folders to sharpen, but not by much and I’ve sharpened both just fine without diamond stones.

Just get a Trailmaster or Recon Scout in 3v.....OH! I must be dreaming again. These two knives really should be made out of the best steel possible Imho. Well good luck on your hunt Doc.
Beautiful compact chopper there, man. Nice Schempp knife too. I don’t see those very often.
