Another interesting thing to note is that it is exhibiting these special properties at a relatively soft HRC compared to Maxamet, Maxamet might offer 850 cuts vs 550 of Vanax, but at a cost of being extremely brittle/low toughness and having low corrosion resistance. I guess it depends on your tastes, I’ve always fantasized about Maxamet when I had my S110v in 2012, I took a break for 5-6 years and got an LC200N thinking it was the God of steels (overall) and then 2 weeks later after digging for days I find about this unicorn — Vanax — and the reason why it’s my favorite steel is because of its versatility, but you can also see in the BBB video that arguably the most popular person in the knife community is even saying that Vanax is his favorite steel. After watching as many videos/opinions as I can on it, I am just a really big fan boy of this steel and who knows I could be wrong but everything just points to it being such a wonderful nitrogen steel. 😍🙏 ty for the talk/education btw, you always learn something from these longer discussions.

So...you haven't lost the hunger for good steel. Good on ya. I will watch that video. Thx

Honestly just watch BBB’s toughness video on Vanax and you’ll be shocked. It’s one of the toughest steels on Earth with top 5 edge retention and #1 for corrosion. It’s just a star in all respects, all technicalities aside. And it being a new-age steel this isn’t surprising, whereas D6 has been around for 15-20+ years commonly. Before I paraded Vanax I was an S110v guy and had a Nakamura 484 m390 too back in 2012 that I lost like an idiot after 3 weeks rip, then from s110v I went on to lc200n and then Vanax. I just prefer versatile do-it-all silver steels/nitros/chrome and Neo.
