Which Spyderco? - (I've been spoilt by Kershaw)

[topspeclt]

I have one topspeclt. There were a total of 100 CF 0300's produced.

Thanks for helping out Thomas!

Now I see another difference: TAD GEAR ones are CPM-S30V whilst others are just S30V. Is that true?

It also says TAD Gear's ZT 0200 is CPM 154 whereas all other mainstream ones are 154CM. Is that true too?

The steel (S30V) is the same on all the 0300's, just some cosmetic differences (CF scales, blade finish).

There is no such thing as "just" S30V. Virtually ALL S30V are CPM-S30V, they are made only by Crucible.

While all "S30V" is actually CPM S30V, there is a difference between 154cm and CPM 154.

To add others that differ...CPM-D2 and D2, and don't forget all those 440's out there.

Is there really a difference between 440 stainless and 440 surgical? Hmmmmmm?

Thomas, are the TAD gear ZT 0200's really CPM 154?

Thanks.

What are you talking about man? I knew a guy who's friend's cousin had a real ninja sword made out 440 surgical. True story, he would chop down full grown trees with them, often with one slice.

Now I don't know whether you are joking or being serious.

I highly doubt 440 Surgical could turn a sword into a light-saber and fall trees as if they were blades of grass.

And with one slice? Full grown tree? Is it on YouTube?

Totally joking. I was just going with a slightly exaggerated version of some of the common myths that non-knife people tend to have about the realities of blades in general.

But yeah, just a joke.
