>>1781626>Spyderco come up with new steel's all the timeYou think Spyderco invents any of the steels they use? You're retarded.
>>1781607>what are some more practical alternatives with steel that is easier to maintain?A more practical alternative that's a lot easier to maintain would be the Ontario RAT folders, for example. When people praise the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 for the long-lasting sharpness of CPM S30V, for example, they do not do so out of a desire to actually sharpen the stuff. The AUS-8 used in the Ontario folder most certainly will not hold an edge for as long, but it will hold an edge for long enough for most people, and once you put it to stones, it will be easier to work with. The same toughness and hardness that causes CPM S30V, VG10, D2 and a lot of these other "super steels" to hold their edge for so long has the opposite effect on ease of sharpening.
Not what
