I've been using and working with knives for over 50 years. I've NEVER had the need to carve metal with my knives. So, I guess Aus 10A should work for me.

Ive been carrying the Jadewear GB2 all year. Im curious to its hardness as Cruwear isnt common from Taichung and Im wondering where mines likely at. Cruwear like Magnacut comes in a wide inconsistent margin. Cruwear is especially weird and all over for spyderco at 60-64 with 62 not being an accurate guess. Newer Crucarta golden production mostly come in above 62, but Seki City Cruwear on a Stretch XL I seen was sub 61. Lower hardness generally means its tougher and more stainless which isn’t terrible to trade for slightly more stropping. I hope to see some results. Cheers!

Got one, and the blade is coated in lube, great factory edge and sharpest edge I’ve felt yet out of LOTS of Spyderco’s. Welcome back 🎉 look forward to your testing and conclusions of this seki city/Spyderco pd#1 steel. All I know is it’s very similar to CpmCruwear. Cheers sir.

Got some PD1 coming my way Gerald, really looking forward to it. Cruwear is my very favorite all around EDC steel. I notice the blade has a new coating, not DLC .............. what do you think of the new coating?

It's very shiny compared to the old coating. I like the flat black look it was before.

Well, either you don't know how to sharpen knives or that edge is crazy burnt, never seen a knife take 14 edges to get to the good steel, i have the same knife and didn't have this problem, i know Benchmade runs there steel softer than Spyderco to emphasize strength slightly over edge retention, but not that soft,
@astaschakАй бұрын
Welcome back man, I just ordered an Endela sprint in the pd1. Normally dont even bother with the sprint runs but like you said, a cruwear version in a seki backlock hopefully is gonna be great. Another bonus point is the steel is made in my home town where i grew up. Looking forward to using it, seeing your tests, and whatever else you may or may not get into.

@kittrainbow7Ай бұрын
Sandwick IMO makes the best "cost effective stainless" worldwide, at least in my experience and I tried also a lot of modern "super steels" (from all main producers worldwide), good stuff but not always "mandatory" and some took inferior edges then Sandvik for apex extreme accuracy (splitting hairs). 12c27 is good, 14c28n gives even a better feeling but they are close. 14c28n takes a super keen edge, very easily, especially for being a stainless (I love also D2, one of my favourites, "semi stainless"), in fact they make also steels for razors and shaving double edge blades. Off course, like any steel, professional heat treatment is always mandatory. I enjoy a lot acute knives in Sandvik steels. For acute knives, definitely a good choiche, instead for obtuse geometries knives I will probably choose steels with more elements and carbide formers and NOT excessive chrome 👎 (13-15% max) but my experimenting never ends 😆 Your testing protocol is great, very consistent, I like more cardboard then cord, more predictable 👍 Great channel 👏 🇮🇹
