Hey sc/out/ I need your take in some issue since there's

For EDC type tasks m390 is my all around favorite blade steel
But it also depends who heat treats it etc

Take a look at the Bradford guardian 3 and 4
3 is great for EDC. And the owner is a nice guy

Sadly I rarely carry mine because of the type of work I do

Yeah, the heat treatment is crucial but the only thing I know about that is that they treat it to 61rc. Bradford have sweet knives but the shipment to europistan is a pain in the ass due to import tax and other border shit. Funny thing because our borders are pretty much inexistent when it comes to filthy migrants.

m390 is an excellent steel type.
You'll be making an awesome choice OP
go ahead and pull the trigger on it.

The lionsteel looks pretty nice to be honest
And seems like a pretty good choice
Any reason fixed blade over a folder?

>>931268
make sure you're comfortable sharpening super steels, if you are go for it.

>>931387
It's the same as sharpening regular steel, it just takes a bit longer.

It's great in a small folder for cutting cardboard and cable ties, it holds a usable edge forever.

For a fixed blade outdoor knife though? It's hard to think of a worse choice of steel.

>a bit

lemmi guess, you don't own an M390 or other super steel knife?

I tried to love CPMs90V, I tried to love CPM3V, but ultimately I prefer an edge that I can maintain in the field with simple tools, quickly.

So I'm back to A2 and O1 steel for my fixed blades.

The only super steel I have currently is ELMAX in a folder, and I find it handles much like a carbon steel but with much better stain resistance. Doesn't seem too bad to sharpen but only had to sharpen once so far.

How so? Is it due its toughness?

>Is it due its toughness?
And by this I mean the lack of it just to be clear-

Largely yes.
