Yet another skitour with the Salt... ;)
.....
Oh my gosh! We get it. You live in Heaven. 😉

In all seriousness that's gorgeous. Curious what you think of that LC200n vs VG-10 since you have had it awhile.

Man, I DO live in heaven here - could not think of any better place to be :smlling-eyes (... said it before, the Austrian board of tourism should pay me for the praising of my homecountry I constantly do here :') )

Btw.: On todays skitour I had my "medium Salt" with me... (small being the Salt 2, large Waterway) - pic below.

/ On LC vs VG10: Hard to say.

I have only 2 LC knives: The Salt 2 SE, which I actually don´t use very often - it is a perfect, superlight just in case hiking and mountaineering folder, but when I foresee cutting tasks (and be it only minor food prep) in the outdoors I bring a larger folder (Pac Salt most of the time).
And the Waterway, which I actually carry a lot less, but use a lot more.

Just intuitively and non scientificly I prefer VG10 though.
In my use it is just as rust proof as LC, and I feel like it has a bit better edge retention (again, just on a gut level).
I also could not experience that it would be less though than LC (which VG10 actually IS though, according to Larrins charts) - or could not make use of this so far (for example by trying if LC could take a steeper edge angle).
And I can´t really explain or even phrase this, but I like "better" how VG10 feels on the sharpmaker rods - in a way "harder", though actually that´s not the right term, but I can´t think of any better right now (and in English... ;) )

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I wouldn't be able to explain it if I knew the words, but I understand what you are saying on the sharpening response. VG-10 and SPY27 are my favorites in that regard.

As soon as one good Tupperware is used to heat up some kind of pasta with red sauce, it instantly becomes bad Tupperware.

THIS EXACTLY. I have created a lot of bad Tupperware and Rubbermaid containers in my time. We also don’t run plastic through the dishwasher because your food then tastes like dishwasher detergent. So….. we have been moving to Pyrex containers with snap on lids.

Yes! We need a new thread. Pyrex with snap ons is our new jamb!

My mother, long time Tupperware user has converted to those Pyrex containers as well over the past 5 years or so I've noticed. She likes it enough to remind me that I hadn't returned a couple of her containers from Christmas dinner leftovers haha :grin-smiling-eyes

This knife has been my first taste of S90V. Gotta say, I'm not used to this kind of edge retention from most stainless steels I've tried. (Another reason I so highly desired this particular knife)Still shaving hairs no problem after 2 rather busy days so far.

I’m interested to hear more as you gain experience with it. As another confirmed tool steel nut, the stainless steels have often come up short IMO, but I’ve never tried the 90.

Thanks! It’s a hard knife to beat. I think I’ll hold off on freezing it in a block of ice though… :winking-tongue
