Only knives I prefer 154cm on is tradionals that have SS
an important point to note is that super steel (bar stock) prices are much lower than super steel knives
most folding knives have a 3.5" blade, so overall they need a 4" x 1.5" bar of 0.125" steel.
a piece of m390 in that size only costs about $15
I remember when it was considered the best.
I have a recycling garbage can for cardboard. If I don't cut up a lot of my cardboard.....I cant throw out the cardboard. I have a mountain of it in my garage....waiting to be broken down.Bwaahaaa that’s funny!!
I’ve said in other threads, I don’t get the whole need for cutting cardboard thing, fold it up and throw it away, never seen anyone or the need for “processing” cardboard
Does anyone remember the 1980's (or earlier)? They didn't even tell you what kind of steel was used for the blade back then and no one seemed to care either. The magic of marketing and the internet...

Crucible CPM154 has same alloy content as 154CM, but is a powder steel. CPM154 do not have granular structure, chromium carbides are smaller and exhibits greater strength and toughness. In my experience with proper heat treat you can get very fine edge with great retention compared to 154CM. Also CPM154 cost is quite higher than 154CM.I’ve never used cpm 154 but would like to. How much difference is it to 154cm?
How about the Wasp in CPM154?Crucible CPM154 has same alloy content as 154CM, but is a powder steel.

For now we offer S90V and 12C27, no plans for CPM154 version.How about the Wasp in CPM154?
Any plans for Manly to sell the Black & Red Wasp to its EU customers?For now we offer S90V and 12C27, no plans for CPM154 version.
12C27 is stainless, very easy to sharpen, decent edge retention, razor sharp and very affordable.
Its a tough question. It is available in Bulgaria at brick and mortar stores and US.Any plans for Manly to sell the Black & Red Wasp to its EU customers?
Thanks! And sorry to OP for thread drift.Its a tough question. It is available in Bulgaria at brick and mortar stores and US.
In regards to Europe, I am not sure when will be available at major distributors.
I know that black/red G10 color combo is already in full production for peak and wasp models, so my best guess is that soon it will be available.
