I have a Sebby. It's so soft. The edge stability is very meh.

I've been carrying a Shiro in Vanax 37. Its edge stability is a little better but could be better too.

I'm going to use 3V on a folder. That's not even a high wear resistance steel compared to some of these folder steels, but I think it's still going to run circles around them in my use.

I guess I'm hard on shit.

Okay, I broke down and ordered a large MagnaCut Sebenza...but decided to go in a different direction since I already had the beautiful drop point of the "Regular" from 1998, which was a gift from the missus...and the Insingo on the small Sebenza 21 (I believe)...so, this is what is inbound from the dealer:
(Hopefully the hardness of 63-64 is an accurate assessment.)

Interesting, I'm waffling between the tanto and drop point. I actually requested tanto since those seemed to be coming out sooner, but now I'm seeing drop points and thinking about switching...

Dennis was great. I truly miss him. We used to talk about Prescott (generally where he lived, and where I went to college) and life through PM. He sent me a few things too, and I bought stuff from him on occasion.

Probably can't go wrong either way, but I don't really care for the current drop point profile compared to my old version...and I like the thicker tip of the tanto and the fact that it lends itself to some different uses compared to most of my other blade profiles.

I was surprised to find it available, and there are several knives at the site in different blades and configurations.

20CV is very sensitive to quench rate in heat treat. Most people, using production knives, have never properly tried it. The edge stability can be much better than people realize.

Nathan the Machinist , have you had any experience with the 20CV used in Hogue/Ritter RSK or mini RSK knives?

Edit: Would love to get in on a CPK folder if one comes out!

I’ve heard about a CPK folder a few years ago, got my hopes up only to be amazed by another fixed blade. Not a bad trade off but still no folder

Do I need a large Insingo in MagnaCut? (I really like the Insingo profile and I'm itching to try MagnaCut.)

Where? I saw a few, but it was only available in natural micarta. Holding out for Large Magnacut Insingo in something darker.

Where would you start looking for one these, still trying to find the one?

Not a bad movie , if you take away the running around the trees bit....but then it wouldn't be Bollywood

you

a) haven't told me any secrets

2) didnt read the whole thing I think

D) only if you dont want to help me find out who did Jackie O's laundry on the day in question. She would have been, as Vincent Vega said in Pulp Fiction, ''on brain duty''
