I'll likely get one of these and it'll be my first experience with 52100. How does it stack up against CPM-Cruwear? I had a gray millie for a while and really liked that steel.The Mastiff wrote:It's inevitable that there will be some people who end up with this knife when it gets here that have no experience with 52100 who will be amazed at the performance, cutting and sharpening goodness they have. I expect a great deal of amazed people after this release. As usual they will sell very quickly.

Yeah, has quite a bit of patina and some small pitting that does not show up in most photos. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a bit of rust if I removed the handle scales.farnorthdan wrote:Is your MT developing any patina SH, any pics?
I don't think it is, Sal said it will be a 1000 piece run and 52100 sounds like a real pain to work with.ohcyclist wrote:Let us all hope this is a 1200 piece run.

Thanx for the input Cliff. Our heat treater is a metallurgist. I'll share your info with him.
I plan to put it in a Millie Jim. Mostly because I wanted one in 52100 as a work knife on the mountain. I figured you and Joe would probably want one as well. So we have 3. We'll make 1000. It was a real PITA to find it rolled to the thickness wanted. It's also a bugger to work with in a production environment. Not too many production folders out there in 52100. I can see why.

Mac, I think if you score one of these then you'll have to send the rest of your knives to me because you won't need them anymoreMacLaren wrote:So, sometime in 2016?
Id really like to score one of these.

How do you think it will compare with more commonly used non-stainless carbon steels, for example as used by Mora, Opinel or Joker?The Mastiff wrote:It's inevitable that there will be some people who end up with this knife when it gets here that have no experience with 52100 who will be amazed at the performance, cutting and sharpening goodness they have.

Depends on the hardness of the blade you're comparing against. Sal said 62-63 Rc which is pretty hard and much harder than Opinels (57-59 Rc). The usual tradeoffs apply -- will hold an edge longer but chip easier etc.aesmith wrote: How do you think it will compare with more commonly used non-stainless carbon steels, for example as used by Mora, Opinel or Joker?
