I dont consider DLC to be about "needing" it for corrosion protection. S30V certainty "needs" DLC less in that context than Criwear yet there are a ton pf DLC S30V blades. I believe it was originally added as a anti-reflective coating from what Ive read, but unless you are a sniper or a ninja I think most people just like the looks. I really enjoy the looks of DLC the same way people enjoy different colors of G10 where a different color isnt "needed". I think the DLC looks great with black scales, or as a constrst to most colors. Id buy either DLC or Stonewash with this Cruwear Micarta Shaman, but I dont think DLC is out of place at all here. I would prefer that all exclusive s and sprints had half of the run in DLC to give us DLC lovers the option
Well to be fair we will prob see both. Forum obviously wants Cruwear and it looks like we will get it. And Sal lives s90v so I’m sure we will see that also. I’d also guess we see M4 from blade ha at some point also.mpcgimli wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 9:21 amRespectfully, I do not understand why so many here prefer a steel of the tougher class, i.e. CRUWEAR, 3V, 4V to a steel of the S90V, S110V or M390 class for the Shaman sprint.
I thought the benefit of a tougher steel for folding knives is that it allows for a thinner blade, edge geometry etc. without sacrificing toughness compared to a thicker blade made out of a less tough steel.
Because of the thickness of the Shaman-blade, I believe it should still be very tough, and allow for hard use , even with a steel like S90V.
To sum it up, I believe that the additional toughness of the blade we would get from using a steel like CRUWEAR over e.g. S90V is less significant than the additional wear-resistance we would get from using a steel like S90V over e.g. CRUWEAR.
