I dont frequent here that much but have found a new interest in Spyderco and the ''new steels''
I quick question....
I recently picked up a para 3 in Maxamet and just now looked at the blade and edge under a cheap Loupe at x12. I can clearly see loads of black holes and inclusions? i dont know if that is the right way to describe it but it looks like the carbon bits when you look at a diamond (lower quality that mere mortals can afford) through magnification. There are also random tiny holes in the flats of the blade... is this normal?
Dont ask me to take pics of it as my camera on macro can barely do a close up of 4 inches away!
