Hi all,
Watch the video. This gentleman, ownes a top knife store, and cuts 5/8" hemp rope to test the longevity of the edge retention of different knife steels. He says German steels usually only last 10-15 cuts. BD1N is the best he ever tested at 120 cuts. He did this test three times and got the same result all three times. I've been doing this 30 years, and never seen anything quite like it.
