Is that a C48 Wegner in that video? I just posted today in another thread how I wanted them to do a sprint of that one in a tough steel like 3V, 4V, Cruwear, 52100, etc. One of those would be running toward the staples!!!

Tough steels have tough edges too. They can hold thinner edges without rolling or chipping making them better slicers. As many say, it's more about geometry than steel type, but if the steel type supports better geometries...
Current collection: ZDP-189 Delica 4, S110V PM2, St. Nick's 4v Para 3, H1 sheepsfoot Manbug, Kapara, VG-10 Dragonfly, ATS-55 Serrated Delica, ZDP-189 MT04 (not broken yet) + Other non spydercos.

Yes it is. Very nice knife. I rarely use it. It’s a liner lock, and almost worn all the way over. Sure would like a back lock version.
