Who does 3V best?

[Brew-Jitsu]

I really like my Survive! GSO 4.1 in 3V, but I also find my Bark Rivers to perform very well. Any thoughts on does 3V best, be it these or other companies/individuals?

Fehrman does a great job also. I haven't yet had a bad knife/heat treatment in 3V, crossing my fingers.

The Spyderco Tuff is fantastic as well as the ZT0100. :thumbup:

3V is a great steel IMO.

I'm going to hit you with two words...Tom Krein

Dan Koster.

Phil Wilson has been working with CPM 3V for a long time, and his work is top notch. Reese Weiland works with CPM 3V and also with very good results.

Good stuff. Not familiar with a few of these.

I'm pretty sure both companies have their HT done by Peters. As do I and many other independent makers as well.

I agree. 3V and M4 are my favorite carbon steels right now.

Yeah, those GSOs take a very nice edge and keeps well during hard use.

Big Chris works with 3V, 4V and 10V among others. He is also a great guy to deal with.

I know Olamic is making some Wayfarers in 3V, will be interesting to see how they turn out!

 

[DREW78]

Peters!

Koster runs his 3V at 60rc. I think that is a little harder than most others use for their blades. So a little more wear resistance and a little less toughness.

chris at c3 knives does a great job.

I have a Big Chris Wolverine in M4 - it's a fantastic slicing machine. I've been curious about getting a 5"+ knife in 4V from him.

Fehrman does the best 3V I have ever used.

Then again you put Phil Wilsons name in front of any steel and its one of the best.

Do you have any pictures you could share of your Fehrman piece(s)?
