I usually don't need to do these kind of threads, but im extremely indecisive about which Lionsteel/knife i want to pick up next.
I've talked about getting one of these since they came out and it's about time i do. It's one of those rare situations where i think i like them equally. Any help/shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
 
I love Elmax and M390, but how is Chads Raindrop? What steels does he use to make his damascus? I know it's nice to look at!
 
I have a titanium Lionsteel with an Elmax blade. Hard steel but too smooth and does not aggressively cut, a knife with the M390 holds the same edge but is a better cutter.
I cut a lot of plastic and rope, for cardboard and whittling the two metals come out about the same.
 
I did get myself a shiney blue ti-spine a couple weeks ago for a great price on the exchange. Im still planning on getting the Tre eventually. Pretty happy with the ts-1 though. It's pretty much exactly what i expected.
