Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Now here is a bombshell! From the elastic ceramics thread on the mule team forum. It looks like we may get some of the super ceramic that out cuts the best of steels by almost a factor of two for the mule!
Thank you Sal!!!

Wow. Just...wow. Yeah Sal, thanks!!
Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
In a thread about switching all golden models over to s45vn:
Purely speculation, but I wonder if this means s45vn has been edged out by Magnacut? That’d be a pretty incredible default production steel.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
It's kind of sounds like an improved cruwear, which happens to my favorite!

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
How about a game changer like this?
A new ceramic material that is in the league of the super steels and possibly to become a mule or more.
“Hi all,
The CATRA tests were very positive. It performed up there with the super steels. As Roman mentioned, sharpening and re-testing is a current focus.
Hi Roman, I'll get back to you today. It's been a hectic week.

VG-10 with a high, thin hollow grind will be amazing.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Not exactly casual, but some pretty interesting and confusing industry drama maybe?sal wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 5:22 pmTo be honest, I've not had much luck with Sandvik.
They've come to see us at shows both in the US and Europe. I spoke with their metallurgists as well. A number of years ago, in Germany, they offered 14c to me. I said I thought that was exclusive to Kershaw. They said not any more??? Couldn't get a why?
I ordered steel from them a number of times at the shows. 19c for a Mule team, 14c for testing, etc. They never delivered or followed up??? Surprising, Hitachi would send me 1,000 lbs of any steel they made, (except ZDP) on credit. Crucible, powdered Cruwear for us as a surprise for our Mule Team. They made SPY-27 for me and Magnacut for Larrin. The President of Takefu would regularly pay us a visit at the Blade show. We worked with Carpenter for years testing their blade steels as they were developing them. We've never had a problem with B.U.
I don't know why we never heard a peep back from Sandvik?
