X15 T.N. vs. H1.

- Start date
What I do know.
H-1 is rust proof, X15 T.N. is not.
Other than that I can only speculate.
IIRC X15 T.N. should resist rust very well, better than your average 420j2 (which is pretty good).
Going by the information on the alloy chart it should hold an edge about as well as H-1, maybe a little better at first (before H-1 work hardens).

IIRC, benchmade decided to switch to X15 because they believed that their end users would prefer the tradeoff in corrosion resistance for edgeholding that x15 offers. There have been reports of x15 rusting, it's not really in the same league as far as rust resistance goes.
