S30V? Really? – For the steel junky.

I don't know if you're familiar with cat-5 or coax but there is alot of copper in them.

I think cat5 is mostly copper and not easy to cut through it.

I had to apply alot of pressure to cut through it.

It would be extremely difficult to slice cut it.
 
I'm kind of impressed that the sebbie didn't sustain any damage from the coax .

Seeing how it damaged most other knives that it was tested against.

I had no issues cutting CAT5 with various blade steels (S30V, 8Cr13MoV, 440V) but I had some co-ax cable with some sort of copper coated metal core that damaged a lot of my knives easily. You can read a little about each here:

Yeah come to think of it the first time I noticed the chipping on the mini ritter was when I tried cutting throught the coax.

The cat5 seemed hard all the way through the whole way through...

As were the coax seemed easy the first penetrate the casing but the metal core was the hard part.

I wonder if that has anything to do with finish quality. It would serve to reason that a lot of the mass-produced knives would have inferior factory edges compared to the Sebenza.
