So good infact that i only needed to strop it now and then and that's still it it havent seen or needed a sharpmaker as its still is a good user sharpness for me personally. I Cut a wide variaty of materials from cardboard to woo...

I’ve got the 15V shaman and have been pleasantly surprised with its corrosion resistance. I douse it with KPL Knife Shield after each day’s work and it has yet to show any corrosion at all, not even galvanic (I’ve had S90V galvanically corrode in my pocket over the course of a single day at work. I...

As far as corrosion goes, I had an unfortunate accident with some bleach with my Manix. I really didn't like it, so I ended up forcing a patina. https://i.ibb.co/TvXKcbK/PXL-20230714-215019875-NIGHT-2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/yhr7vWw/PXL-20230715-212716154-NIGHT-2.jpg The steel has held up fine for me....

No chipping. Picks up patina faster than Cruwear but nowhere near as fast as M4.

Are you using anything to protect from corrosion? Do you live in humid/salty environment?

It's my favorite steel far as pure edge performance goes. I am not a "hard user" and use pretty thin edges, but 15V has held up very well for me. My usage definitely favors higher hardness and wear resistance steels. Corrosion resistance has been great for a tool steel. I am finally findi...

Hmmm... I'm hoping there will be updates to those experiences?

i got a very small chip from stripping a wire with my manix. i was kind of bummed about it because it was brand new, but i didn't even bother to try and touch it up. the blade still cuts great. i've never even put it to stones. granted, i'm not a real heavy user and i rotate through quite a few kni...

Oh, those are beauties.

I think it's been a decent amount of time since the BBB 15V came out... I finally just got one.
Please comment, send pics, etc on your experiences? Sharpening methods? "Chipability" - whatever anything and everything

If you don't wish to be tracked by the G, you can use the same trick with Duckduckgo.com and other search engines.

Don't feed the Google!
