Re: S110V vs M4 for cardboard

It depends on your climate and sharpening abilities, S110V will hold it's edge longer, but be more effort to sharpen, M4 will corrode if left alone in a damp environment for long periods, but be easier to sharpen.

Re: The sharpest, strongest, most durable knife on the planet

I like how their graph shows A2 has 3x the corrosion resistance of 440C, and sharpness is an easily measurable quantity based only on the steel (A2 can only get 1/3 as sharp as S35VN) For the 7 backers buying 4+ of these knives- I have some NASA approved invisible bushcrafting clothes to sell you as...

Re: Efficiency vs Freedom?

I think in your original post, your comparing freedom vs waste, rather than efficiency- for example, say I, a "rich" man have 2 whole chickens for dinner- I need 12oz of chicken to be full- the most efficient (time) way to get that 12oz is eating the large pieces of meat- breast, thigh, on...

Re: Why Didn't You Buy A Manix 2 Back Lock?

Like most knives, I was waiting for a sprint run. I have multiple Militaries, PM2s, Manix and Enduras, but none in the standard S30V/Vg-10/154cm. I will probably pick one up if I can before they all disappear though.

Re: Sal, Can we get CPM 15v?

Hi Shawn, I'm watching the thread. A couple of questions came to mind; 1. What one model woulr work for a sprint in 15V? 2. If we were to divide up the ELUS' into groups; interested in exotic teels, not interested in steels. interested in looks, materials, etc. Not interested, etc. I wonder how the...

$103 seems high for 440A and plastic- I think I'd stick with H1 for my SE.

Re: 410 vs H1 vs LC200N for scuba diving knife steel

H1 serrated is definitely the way to go, however, I'd be careful about having a knife in Mexico.

It's even harder for difficult to obtain sprints, but the whole point of a sprint (IMO) is to try a new steel, not look at the different colored handle.

Re: These videos of knife locks failing.

Also, in statistics class, we learned the larger the sample size the more likely the information was correct and a sample of 30 was in general a minimum to learn anything with any degree of certainty about a given population. for example, say you have 300 people on an airplane you ask the person sit...
