The Steel of the Future: AerMet 100 Steel > Infi Steel

Love this!

Never mind what I "think". Send me a chunk of this stuff and I'll grind it into a knife, and grind another knife to the same dimensions out of CPM-3V. I'll have them both heat-treated at my expense to Rockwell 58 or 60 or 62 (your choice) on the C scale. We'll pass them around have them beaten and tested for toughness, hardness, and edge-holding, in anything resembling what handheld knives are used for. Including chopping 2x4's and slicing tomatoes.

If my 3V blade loses in any way, I'll pay for the test steel and personally cook and serve you lunch in my home. If my 3V blade wins in every category, you owe me a coupon for a Happy Meal at McDonalds or a dollar-menu item at Wendy's or Taco Bell... Fair enough?

I don't want to pollute Jerry's site more than it has been, but I found this regarding Cliff Stamp being banned. I find it a bit confusing, but I am easily confused.

BTW, if you read Cliff's test of Busse knives, you will find them nothing but complimentary. Cliff broke a Basic 7. It took over two years of extreme abuse. The knife was passed around. The blade was ground down to about half the original size. Among other things, it was hammered into a tree trunk and used as a step.

Jerry summed it up better than I could, so no need to twist the knife further, but I do think this thread deserves a lock.
