Toughest fully serrated knife?

[rycen]

You never mentioned a mora folder in the post I quoted.You said endura and rescue both have been hollow ground for twenty years. I know the difference between toughness and edge retention. A knife in H1 will hold up to anything you should be doing with a knife and hold an edge longer than VG-10 or even ZDP-189.

Here is Mr Schempp's entire post.

Spyderco had a couple of salt blades in their display cases at the SHOT show that were bent 90 degrees with out breaking. Busse knives advertises a 30 degree bend and in some cases 70 dgrees.

I found the the edge retention is not as good as VG 10, but like VG-10 is very user friendly as the edge will generally roll without much chipping and can usually be burninshed back with little effort.

H-1 has some of the properties of 300 series stainless steel, particularly in the least worked or ground portions of the blade. Infi steel does use Nitrogen like H1 but is still a Martinsitic steel rather than Austenitic (Martinsitic is hardenable by quenching, Austenitic is not. H1 is hardened by deformation.)

I'd be interested to see if Spyderco warranty and repair has had to deal with fixing tips on salt knives. I'm sure that the numbers are much smaller with comparable models of other steels....Take Care...Ed

Does not a 90 degree bend show that is should be more than tough to do what any knife should do?

Check out the SOG Pentagon Combat Dagger. Its made from Aus-8 and has one side of the blade serrated and the other is a plain edge:thumbup:
