I don't need a lambo but it'd be nice to have one or two of those in a car collection.
Same with a "supersteel" in a knife accumulation.

Cracow, summer 2015, those were the good days.
Good memories with that city.
Sorry Medford fans. Look at Medford there is not a single knife in their whole catalog that could cut it's way out of a wet paper bag. Regardless of what steel is used or how much they charge for it.
Well, I never tried cutting wet paper bags (why would anyone want to ), but...
Easy to clean, too...with modern technological devices...
But yeah, no wet paper bags...sorry.
Who da thunk a knife could cut?
Cool pics, but are you sure you want to publicly document yourself voiding Medfords "warranty"?

Do we even need steel? Likely not. We could still be using bronze and stuff would still be getting cut. Do we need cars? Probably not. We could still be on horses and we would still get where we are going. Technological advancement has its advantages obviously.
Your comparisons don't take into consideration the technology maturation curve or efficiency.
The thread asked specifically about super steels. The difference between super steels and regular steels for their use in knives is marginal. This difference is nothing compared to the difference between a car and a horse.
You may have been thinking linear, when the comparison should have been logarithmic. Horse to honda civic is huge; honda civic to lamborghini is relatively marginal.
With knives: Copper tools to steel tools is massive; steel tools to super steel is marginal.
Saying we could get where we need with horses is true, but with a MUCH lower efficiency. It would take years to do what i done in months, depnding on the application. It would be quite lackadaisical to go to horses.
There`s one guy on YouTube does edge sharpness tests on rope, ...
Second quote is adressed to me or it just apperars in your every post? I'm not sure, as I said earlier - I'm new to this forum. I read many, many threads here before, but it's the first time when I decided to make an account.Yep, there's a lot of them do that.
