Recent Mule Steel Comparisons

#1

Post by Skidoosh »

My first mule was CTS-XHP, a steel I really have grown to love. Great edge, strops sharp, resists corrosion. I'm thinking through the other recent mules (s110V, K390, M4V, PSF27) and wondering about comparisons in practical experience. What do you like? What do you not? Most of my mule use has been butchering and general food prep.

Can't add much to your exact question and I am very amateur when it comes to "sharp" but the XHP Steel so far to me at least the best yet. With just basic sharpening I can get it much sharper then S30V. I know you didn't ask about S30v and are asking about Mules but maybe another newbie will take interest in that. My Hungarian uses XHP and by far is my sharpest. I hope to get more familiar with high end steels so I'll be reading your thread.
