Morgen Jungs, gestern habe ich mir in den USA eine SMF mit Strider's neuem S3V Stahl bestellt. Warum wieder Strider? Ganz einfach, demnächst muss ich ein paar Wochen nach Afghanistan für eine Doku. Zwar finde ich das Preisleistungsverhältniss bei manch anderen Foldern nach wie vor besser, trotzdem vertraue ich Strider im Ernstfall immer noch mehr als jedem anderen. Wie auch immer, was wisst ihr über den S3V
About S3V: The three criteria for steels are toughness (impact), wear resistance (edge retention), and corrosion resistance and it is a balancing act between them when using a material for knives. S3V has wear resistance (edge retention) and toughness that is comparable to the standard S30V. However, the toughness of S3V far exceeds all of the other common blade steels (by like a factor of 3). The trade off (remember that it is a balancing act) is that it has a lower chromium content and is not as stain resistant and corrosion resistant as the S30V. Before you have a heart attack about that fact and think that it will rust by looking at it, just remember that most guns are in fact NOT stainless steel. Whole bunches of folks have been killed with M1 Garands and 1911's that were not stainless steel. So take care of your gear and it will take care of you. S3V is THE hard use steel right now.
Cheers, Max
