Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
Factory edge was quite dull so I tuned it up. Ended up with 220 on my sanding roll with my HIC mule.

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
In terms of sharpness, I'd say the material is deceptive. And to the fingerpads it doesn't grip how we are used to with carbides in steel. Even at an 800 grit finish, I'd say draw cutting is the most effective way to evaluate and use. I still prefer steel bcuz it has more grip when cutting across its alloys.

ZDP-189 is still a favorite. Glad you are keeping it in your testing.

156 cuts followed by 78 chops on ice, then another 81 cuts to get 315 out of 390. Roughly an 81% efficiency rating. I have to mention that this knife was gifted to me by kurt for testing purposes.

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
The HIC mule wasn't able to pass day 2. After day 1 it was fine, but after day 2 it failed. It was still technically sharper at this point than when I received it. 2 days out of the benchmark 7 is a lot more brittle than I'd like to see. I'm deciding if it's the best course of action to do chops on a harder material next or not. Damage wise, not much but if I move to hitting a block of limestone, I might not able to do other testing.

400 grit cbn stone used for 3 minutes on my HIC mule. I expected it to exaggerate damage from the ice whacks but it didn't. It could be the damage was so small it just avoided it all together.

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
This week I'm testing an obvious clone of the buck 110 in 8cr13mov. I saw this at my local hardware store for 20 dollars. I haven't listed any spyderco 8cr testing results in this thread, so it should be a fun comparison. Build quality is very poor on the clone. Factory edge scored 35, 1st edge 70.
