Who is using CPM D2

[Big Mike]

Well, answered again! You are just super.

Thanks again, usually it's just The Woman who appreciate me.

You perfectly demonstrates point I made.

Well I may have demonstrated the point you made,

...the problem there is you made no point that I could decypher.



I use to try to get people to think your testing had some value,

...if only in trying to gage how long initial sharpness might last,

...but you thinking your testing measures real world usage is absurd.



But obviously you don't care about any of that. :grumpy:

Very interesting post. If removes all lyrics and "theories", extracting only real use descibed here - bottom line is that cutting manila rope (comonnly accepted media for edge performance testing) plane carbon 52100 left behind both CPM M4 and CPM S90V which is what I had as well with SRS101 (10th place) CPM M4 (12th place) and CPM S90V(16th place).

Now why do you need this silly excuses about CPM S90V is good for something else? Do you really believe this? Common, it is not like hex or strait screwdrivers - this is just cutting and 52100 is just better cutter. Who care how long dull CPM S90V will stay less duller then another dull edge?

You just desperate to be polite to all those "experts" or too brainwashed here to trust your own eyes!

May be CPM S90V is better for cutting press in the paper factory, but it is not better then CPM D2 for knives and would not be better is it manila rope or wood or leather.

Thanks, Vassili.

Not even close cupcake, I spoke from experience. I don't just stop at cutting rope, I use my blades daily and like to examine the edge after cutting different things to find out how it affects the edge. If you want to base all your knowledge of blade steel and edge retention off of one test that's fine but I do things my way to get the information I value. I try and leave bias out of the equation unlike yourself because I like fact and not opinion.

Honestly, I think a lot of people sound rude in this thread. I'm not going to point any fingers, and lord knows I'm not above a heated debate myself, but this is getting pretty personal.

It always ends up this way in steel threads anymore Artfully Martial.....I accept responsibility for my posts. Sorry if I offended. Knifenut1013 was answering a question I had and it was twisted around to be used as cannon fodder & derail his opinions so I got a little irritated. I'm over it.

It's the same argument going on for a couple of years. The same points are made over and over, distorted and regurgitated back with no advancement and no hope of ever ending. The same person has been ruining threads for years now and yes, we are past the point of politeness. I was polite for the first two to three years but looking back, that seemed to encourage worse behavior.

Do some research on these type of steel threads going back some years. Decide for yourself how much you could take before getting rude if it's a subject you don't want to ignore. Putting someone on ignore usually works until you see him taking your words to others, twisting them around and using them in a distorted or untruthful fashion to prove his point. He often does it with very prominent figures in the industry, insulting them and accusing them, the metallurgists, foundrys and knife companies of being in a conspiracy ( his actual word used numerous times) to foist lesser steels that cost $2 per lb ( wish that price was true) rather than steels he has found to be obviously superior.

This isn't the only place it's happened too but that's as far as I'm going in that direction. Decide for yourself after doing some research. I think you will find there are some here showing admirable restraint and patience. Coming into a thread and not knowing the past couple of years history could just seem like a bunch of bullys being rude but that's very far from being the case.

Sorry I'm so late to this thread. CPM D-2 is alive and well. We have several thousand pounds of slab and sheet in stock. SB Specialty is stocking some sheet as well.

This is the best post in the entire thread!

So glad to hear that, please can you get your salesmen to 'push' it a little harder to their customers (which hopefully includes big manufacturers like Spyderco) as I am a big fan of this steel and would love to see more of it out there! :thumbup:
