S125V testing finished and posted

That is a lot of freaking cardboard! How long did it take you to do that much? I can't even imagine.

I am assuming corrugated cardboard. Did you cut "with" or "against the grain?"

In my testing for The Truth About Knives, my target is roughly 500 feet against the grain due to time constraints, and then evaluating the remaining edge. Some steels crap out before reaching that mark, but the thin 10V on Chis' Pocket Fighter that I reviewed still had parts of the edge that could shave hair.

I always cut with the grain because it's much more controllable cutting the thin strips.

There is also some against the grain when cutting down to size etc.

I also try and mix the cardboard with different types as some is dirtier than others to give it all a balance.

Took about 2 days for the cutting.

Pretty impressive! What's the HRC of the tested blade? They say that the ultimate test for edge holding is skinning muddy bears, but where are you going to find enough of them to test S125V.

63.5 HRC and .006" behind the edge.
