Pretty much the opposite as far as rust resistance....52100 will patina from just looking at it....I'd put it closer to Superblue...takes a very sharp edge and holds it reasonably well...but not a stainless steel.....by a long shot...Zen wrote:Very intresting. I am trying to find more infos about the 52100 steel right now. How is it compared to H1? What a pricerange will a such a sprintrun have?BTG wrote:Don't know if it's been mentioned, but was just looking at spydiewiki....and it's showing 2 PM2 Sprints to be released in 2017....both with 52100 steel...1 plainedge...1 serrated....

Re: Fully serrated PM2 comming soon
Would really like a black coated SE PM2 as well, how about making a bunch of the 52100's with DLC coating? That would make for great users!
(could also be 4 'different' runs so the production numbers could be a bit higher..)

I can't remember if D2 is considered just above or just below the stainless line, but there are pictures where Sal had a single CPM D2 Para made for one of the members.Joris Mo wrote: A SE 52100 sounds very interesting as well! Has there ever been a Spydie edged non stainless blade before?
I'll take a Cruwear FRN SE Military as well! :D

I believe D2 to be a non stainless so that would count, but no production versions I guess?Donut wrote:I can't remember if D2 is considered just above or just below the stainless line, but there are pictures where Sal had a single CPM D2 Para made for one of the members.Joris Mo wrote: A SE 52100 sounds very interesting as well!

My first PM was a CPM D2 version and I have quite some experience with regular D2, it is indeed quite corrosion resistant for a non stainless.
