[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 4308701, member: 45550"] Question for you guys on knife steels. I have been a diehard Victorinox guy as long as I can remember but I’m thinking about making a change. This past weekend I sharpened the end of a dry stick about as big around as my finger with my Swiss Tinker and I was really surprised at how quickly it dulled. Now after poking around a bit online apparently Leatherman has something similar to offer with their Free T4. Now not wanting to get into another steel that would give the same results I looked into what each knife blade was made of and found the Victorinox uses a 316L steel with an HR”B” of 95 while the Leatherman uses a 420HC steel with a HR”C” of 55. Of course!!!! Couldn’t use the same scale so I’d be able to figure this out. 🤬🤬 My question to you is how do these two steels compare with one another? Can ya help a brother out??[ATTACH type="full"]500246[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]500247[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
