Forum knife 2020 - steel poll

#1

Post by Ric »

It seems that in the final poll we are choosing between
Shaman
UK Pen
Lil Native
and one secret contender :-)

Now, we should talk steel.
I selected these because of 20 in the name, S90V (obviously), or they were introduced in 2020.
Also 2 tool steels are included.

I'm into Spy27, I kind of think it should definitely be that.

I'm less into the cobalt blue. I get it, I just don't really like blue knives.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

According Reveal 4 SPY27: Every knife made with this steel will also have a distinctive cobalt-blue handle color that hightlights its elite pedigree.

Cruwear point is taken...

SPY27 gets my vote. The likely attributes discussed of fine carbides, high edge stability, ease of sharpening look very appealing.

+1. Also voted for SPY27. Seems fitting for a 2020 forum knife.

Can hap40 be done on a Golden model? Thought rex45 was the Golden take on hap40.

Good point!
I did not think about it, just saw the poll and quickly choose an already listed option.

Rex45 is HAP40 with a good heat treat. The same steel but being baked by a better chef. ;)

Thanks! I knew that, but not that the Rex45 heat treat is "better".
As said, I like the cladded HAP 40, but maybe the cladding steel (SUS410) is the reason they can't do the same heat treat as with REX45?

Anyway, REX45 is not an option in this poll... :o

Honestly, that's a pretty weird poll. Steels from all over the place. Sal said Golden would have the best chance at making this happen, so I would think (though obviously I don't know anything) that it would be a steel that Golden models typically come with or sprint/exclusive.
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

I voted SPY27. I think its use in the 2020 forum knife would be a pretty cool commemoration of its release!
