Photos The bleeding edge: Your most high-tech knife.

My CPM Magnacut Spyderco Team Mule is probably my most "cutting edge" knife due to the brand new steel, which was created by KnifeSteelNerd.com Dr.
Larrin Thomas. Deaigned to fill a gap in high wear resistance, high stainless, higher tough ess steel. We previously had to choose two categories.... (I love AEBL high toughness, normal edge retention decent stainless, Bucks 420HC also tough, stainless and normal edge retention .. or CPM 3V..super tough, decent edge retention and pretty decent resistance to staining (but not stainless), or INFI great stain resistance, super tough, but lower edge retention, 52100 great toughness, decent edge retention, low rust resistsnce/stain resistance... etc, etc.

As a bonus, the CPM Magnacut has been lovely to sharpen!! I believe this is partly due to the great controll of the carbide size the formula allows!!
 
My highest-tech knife that I own is probably my just purchased Cold Steel Recon Scout in San Mai. I like it so much, I'm debating buying the CS SRK also in San Mai. My hope is that the far more responsible adults here will talk me out of it.

I'd have to say the Hinderer FullTrack is my most "high-tech" knife. Hinderer's Tri-Way pivot system debuted on the prototype of the FullTrack (although it first made it to production in the XM-18), it has a driver with two bits that fit all the screws on the knife integrated into the spring loaded backspacer, and it has milled out pockets for storage under the handle scales. It really is a lot of cool features packed into one knife.
