I have one for a Benchmade butterfly knife

Yeah yeah mall ninja etc

It's still sharp after a lot of abuse and just about indestructible

440C
>easy to sharp
>easy to dull
are you mistaken ? Buck switched to 420HC because how 440C couldnt be sharpen due to their supperior heat treatment

>>29825079
It depends on the heat treatment of the steel.

440c masterrace. I don't hate other steals but nothing has performed better for me.

D2 I don't have to defend my choice to you faggots.

>>29825174
Nobody's asking you to defend your choice. Why are you so insecure?

>>29825188
Because I'm a virgin

If its not a CPM and its not 1096/5160, its shit

M4 for pocketknives, 3V for fixed blades. Though honestly, there's an abundance of great steel out there today, and just about all of it will perform well if the geometry and HT is right.

>out of the 35 knives I've bought off budk the one marked 440c was the best

>>29823926
any 1000 series high carbon steel is a good choice provided a proper heat treat. No idea what pic related is made of, but it's a hair splitting piece of cutlery

x50crmo15 in my swiss army knives is pretty godtier. Workchamp is best champ

>any 1000 series high carbon steel is a good choice

Just keep in mind that not all 10xx steels are high carbon. 1070 might be. 1080 and 1095 are. Lower numbers ain't.

1055 is great shit. what are you talking about

>>29826741

Elmax, that shits amazing once you put your own edge on it.. or get it from a custom maker.

S30v.its slowly becoming the standard.

I agree, it's the next 154CM. Only complaint is that it's hard to sharpen, but that comes with edge retention I guess.

Are there any decent obsidian knives?

>>29827435
this. better than M4 or s30v or s90v.

Here is my knife
>inb4 woah that's old
Yeah it's my work knife pal

>>29827625
I have an S30V spyderco Sage 1, and it holds an edge VERY well, much better than other steels I have, BUT... Is it hard to sharpen.. I'm not even talking about time, it's just weird, I can get a pretty good edge on it but can't get it to be really fine, just a coarse aggresive edge. If I try to polish it it becomes duller, and with other knives I have I can polish it to almost mirror edge and it gets crazy sharp ( they're mostly 8cr13mov, AUS8, and a couple carbon steel / probably 1070)
