Nice and smooth and carries a 9% alcohol level. Not that it matters. ;)
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

Been thinking about steels tonight, and 15v is THE ONE I need to try. I hope Spyderco can make this happen. It would be epic.

Just a reminder: a Spyderco in 15v would be AWESOME.

MPL-1 is one of the few steels with more carbon

15v is king vanadium

? This thread shows that I've been advocating for vanadis 4e for 4 years. That seems crazy to me. Why hasn't more been done with V4E?

For sure. 4VE is better than 4V in most aspects. It still surprises me.

Haven't even tried it. I've got a V4E knife at 62rc in a survival type knife that I've been too busy to grind.
Even then, I don't use 4v in that thickness nor hardness to compare directly. So it's no use to compare for me right now.

I look at it as 20cv and m390, just analogs. I'm more concerned with the hardness and geometry.


I've read and heard about 3rd gen powder being finer or scuttlebutt about the process being overall cleaner then Crucible but I've yet to see anything quantified with the same knife HT, hardness, geometry and edge in the same test in video to watch empirically. Just costs a lot of time and money to do.

I don't have either of those.

Looks like others haven't either for the same reason or lack of ability to execute it or no interest in sharing information that was hard earned.

V4E costs alot more, being an import is a factor especially now, the availablitly was zero for a while but thanks to Alpha Knife Supply there are some small pieces available in small quantity for now until it's gone.
Then who knows.

4v is here, it's available in all the sizes I need at a good price and does everything I need it to do with HT and performance.

I've been impressed with 4v at extreme hardness (67rc) and thin geometry (0.005" bte) so that's been my focus.


I'm genuinely curious about v4e but that's the problem, it's tacked on a long list of things to try and test and I've never felt "outgunned" using 4v with crazy hardness and geometry so I haven't sought after it much

Also since the geometry is fixed on production knives and doesn't get thinner I'd be more interested in 15v to boost cutting performance over raw durability V4E has over 15v but I'd be happy to own a Spyderco in V4E

I'm thinking a Para 3 SLH (small lanyard hole) made from 4v and v4e to test then out. Large grain carbon fiber and blood red G-10.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
