Oh, I understand that. The opinions and videos and tests are pervasive........maybe they mean something and maybe they only show that powdered steel is more profitable and the opinion-makers support it.powdered steel is far superior in every regard. not kidding. there are videos y'all can watch to understand why. heres a link to Dr. Larrins article on it.
What is Powder Metallurgy? - Knife Steel Nerds
Thanks to Greg Jessen for becoming a Knife Steel Nerds Patreon supporter! There is currently a poll on Patreon for voting members on what equipment I will purchase for future research. Conventional Casting Conventional casting of steel involves the alloying of steel in the molten, liquid form...
its makes a better steel..that isn't opinion, its fact. it isnt debatable.Oh, I understand that. The opinions and videos and tests are pervasive........maybe they mean something and maybe they only show that powdered steel is more profitable and the opinion-makers support it.

But what I know for sure is just what I said:
There are words that simply do not inspire confidence.
"Bearing Grade" says "Tough and Strong."
And.........powder is something women put on their noses.
Choice of words is important.
Maybe if they'd used triturated instead of powdered?
there is testing to show exactly that. I could dig it up or you can google it. not sure you'll find bg42 vs. new version, but you'll see other steels tested that show it. im sure carpenter or whoever bought and owns Latrobe steel has this testing. otherwise they would have kept only the bg42 and not moved to a powdered version. thats speculation though.
those quotes are referring to mim use and im talking raw steels making. powder technology can be used for mim. can also be used to make rolls and blank steel pieces different thicknesses and sizes. used in knife making which is what we are talking about in knives and steels used. knife making isn't done the same way firearms as an example does. I know firearms people dislike mim over forged and cast, mainly due to beginning issues, but some still happen.Well, maybe that's just what they want you to think. All these "tests" can be bought by large corporations to influence customers.
One thing you can count on these days is somebody trying to influence your thinking to make you spend your money--moving it from your pocket to their pocket. How do we know what "test" is reliable?
When considering any motivation, always consider the almighty PROFIT.
Here's a quote from a source admitting the real reason for powder metallurgy.

The growth of the P/M industry during the past few decades is largely attributable to the cost savings associated with net (or near-net) shape processing compared to other metalworking methods, such as casting or forging.

I have no dog in this fight and no need to discuss it forever........obviously opinions will vary.
But remember, all I said about this originally was that "Powder" is a poor name when you're trying to portray STRENGTH.
It does not inspire confidence. That actually IS a fact. Picture a woman powdering her nose.
The rest of the debate will probably continue forever, and will continue without me.
naw, we're just talking bg42 and knife making is all. chit chat on a topic for fun. nothing more.
Yes, there are words that simply do not inspire confidence.
"Bearing Grade" says "Tough and Strong."
Powder is something women put on their noses.
Your stating exactly what your complaining about.Well, maybe that's just what they want you to think. All these "tests" can be bought by large corporations to influence customers.

I have a rather expensive folding knife with a 3-D printed Titanium handle. It is named the Ti Dust Model implying that it is made from dust rather than powder. On the image ladder, it is lower than worm spit. Actually, it is fabricated from carefully sized micro spherules. The Ad Men don't always hit it out of the park.Well, maybe that's just what they want you to think. All these "tests" can be bought by large corporations to influence customers.
