[Crux]

Hello all. I'm a late Spyderco collector. Maybe it was because all I ever heard was Spyderco is the best, best, best! I am not a FAD follower.

Let me explain, Spyderco is NOT a fad. Which makes me ashamed of my bias. I love CRKT because of their amazing designs but after decades I stopped thinking of them as knives but more art. Then begun my obsession with steel.

Most of you reading this think I'm normal but I'm not. I am a steel whore! Please don't judge me. It's a certified mental condition or should be.

36 SUS410 Clad

Please, let me know where you have found a SUS410 laminated blade
I want one too :p
I know a company that sold aus8 laminated blades, but now they have stopped, fortunately.
If a SUS410 laminated blade existed anyone who produces such a massacre should be outlawed.

Crux,

With regard to the steels you list. I recommend amending it to specify that the M4 and Cru-wear (besides the mule) used by Spyderco are CPM grades.

36 SUS410 Clad

My HAP40 blades are all SUS410 clad...
I, therefore, disagree with your sentiment of outlawing Spyderco.

If you write:

HAP40 clad
SUS410 clad

you're wrong to write HAP 40 clad because it means you have a laminated knife with a core in something and the outer layers in hap 40 or you're wrong to write SUS410 clad because you're saying you have a laminated knife with the core in sus410.

Or one or the other.

I have the Zdp Caly 3.5, but here the SUS410 is used for the outer layers

I see what you're saying now. Thanks for the clarification.

I agree that "HAP40 clad" is a indeed incorrect.

"SUS410 clad" is not necessarily wrong, but is easily misunderstood if the core steel isn't specified; i.e. "SUS410-clad HAP40" or "HAP40 with a cladding of SUS410" would both be accurate descriptions.

Sorry for the tangent.

Don't worry, I probably didn't express myself correctly, I'm not a native English speaker and many times I rely on Google Translate :)

I really want to try REX 121, CPM 15V, Vanadis 4e, and PD1. I'm really only interested in extreme edge retention or extreme toughness.

I'm also a zdp 189 virgin and I do want to change that as well.
