The only thing I don't like about the cladding of HAP40 specifically is that SUS410 scratches super easily in regular use. I don't know the technical aspects of cladding stainless onto tool steels, but I would prefer 420 or even 440 stainless cladding in place of 410 to increase the abrasion (scratch) resistance of the whole blade surface.timlara wrote:I'm curious - for the people who don't like cladding, why is it that you don't like it? Is it so you can force a patina over the entire blade?
I personally prefer to have the pivot area of the knife better protected against rust, so I like the cladding, but I get it if it's the patina thing.

Thanks Sal. I wondered about this sort of thing when the Damascus Delica came out earlier this year -- does the same principle apply? I can sort of generally visualize different steels expanding, contracting, etc. in different ways. I imagine you can't just slap any two steels together and have it work out... :confused:sal wrote:The cladding has to be balanced in heat treat with the core material.

I would assume the same. Thus why CPM154 (typically a premium blade steel) was used as the cladding for the last Manix 2DrawBackwards wrote:Thanks Sal.

I think that would look awesome.xceptnl wrote:I am planning to do a homemade stonewash on the 420J cladding of my well patina'd Superblue endura. I am hoping to give it a unique look. Perhaps it will catch on and we can see a production sample for future clad models. Though I know I am the minority as most prefer the satin finish.

Is this happening? Would love to try SRS-15. Especially if unclad. There is definitely a gap in the Seki lineup in a lack of an unclad tool steel. Id definitely grab one of each and a handful of Dragonflies. Maybe throw in the Jester as a bonus and I (and everyone else) will grab a handful of those as well!

Also, is the delica wharncliffe a standard blade shape now, and will it be included in these sprints? Can’t wait to try mine, I just ordered one of the hap40 ones.
