H-2 vs. H-1

[James Y]

My guess (and I could be wrong) is that there will be little to no perceptible difference in performance between H2 and H1.

If I didn't already own over 20 Pacific Salts, I'd have ordered one of these to put through some testing. But at some point you have to accept that a lifetime supply of an object is sufficient

That's a harsh reality to accept, one my wife keeps hoping I will.

that's the hope, but so far, it's just a lot of guesses and not much real world reporting. it's good to see some have been using it and not noticing any difference.

Have their been any updates with H2 compared to H1?? Rusting? Staining? Pitting? Surface corrosion? What are the edge holding differences? Is H2 tougher than H1? Do the serrated edges hold up as well as the H1? Do the serrated edges come as sharp as H1? Does H2 scratch as easily? Is the hardness of H2 the same as H1? Is the strength as good or better than H1? Please reply with updates everyone!!! Now is the time!

I'm guessing the differences are barely discernable, or we would have heard more by now.

I have enough H1 in wanted models to last me (barring their breakage or loss) until whenever.

So, I probably won’t get any H2 until this (not?) new steel appears in a model I really want but don’t already have (I wonder when that new model will appear). And even then, I may not jump.

That MagnaCut is being played as a Salt (as in my SE Native5) does confuse my readiness for H2. Even though I know MagnaCut is not as corrosion-resistant, its plain-edge-retention (on par with Cruwear, I’m guessing) is doubtless better than H1’s plain-edge-retention. That moves it ahead of H2 in my book, given the variety of H1 models I have at hand.
