NEW cool thing that we dig it.

If you are going there,make sure to swing by WE Knife Booth #200 to check this new design collab with the award-winning designer Brian Brown.

I'm interested enough to want to see more.

Going forward, I'd like to see more stainless options and better heat treatments. The first thing could just be me having a bunch of WE knives in 20CV and wanting something different. For instance, I know that S45VN and MagnaCut are not readily available in China yet but a WE in Elmax, Vanax, or S110V would certainly get my attention.

The second is a big deal. While 20CV is a good and popular steel, few production companies are getting anywhere near reaching its performance potential. To demonstrate this, compare the performance of your 20CV with the 9Cr18Mov on the Civivi and Sencut knives. Relative to the current market, your 9Cr18Mov gets an exceptional heat treatment. The Civivi and Sencut knives using this steel deliver excellent edge retention for the price. That makes them some of the strongest values on the market. Meanwhile, your 20CV doesn't stand out in the same way. Performance seems to be on par with most of the 20CV or M390 coming out of China. So it both falls short of what people might expect from 20CV and doesn't offer the kind of performance upgrade I'd want to see between $50ish knives and $250ish knives.

It might be worth reaching out to someone like Larrin Larrin for consultation.
 
Looks interesting...Trogon is a bird, isn't it? Love the milled scales.
When are these coming out?
