Thanks for your reply! / Yes, the highlighted sentence is what generally happens to often to be honest... for example also when people talk about Spydercos SE and so on.spoonrobot wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 2:31 pmI think H1 is probably the most unfairly maligned steel wrt edge retention. I think most of the negative feedback is from people who are repeating what they've heard, not sharing personal experience. It's not the best but it certainly holds it's own compared mid-tier steels. I've posted this before, but a few years ago I had occasion to cut 200+ feet of dirty bike box cardboard with PE H1. The knife cut great and would still shave after.Wartstein wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 10:43 amThis surprises me (good edge retention on PE H1). Never tried myself (just in SE), but it is not what people here normally say?!spoonrobot wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 9:58 amPE H1 Atlantic Salt. Good edge retention, non-threatening appearance, easy to sharpen with anything from a file to a smooth river rock, big enough to cut a sandwich.
So: Interesting insight in YOUR real life experience! :)
As said, I have zero when it comes to H1 in PE
