I’ve got a bit of a thing for hunting knives /grin. I’m sure some of you can relate so I figured I post this in case anybody was interested.
I just finished a neat knife project. I found some pretty cool super steel blanks that Spiderco-sells they call them mules. They sell for about 60 to 80 bucks depending on the steel. They only do limited runs of these so you have to kind of pay attention when they come up.
So I bought a couple of them one in PMA 11, a high speed tool steel comparable to Maxamet. The other was S 20 V steel. I’ve been doing some comparisons on some of these super steels and as most of you know they make incredible game processing knives.
I have that bench made steep country S30 V knife and it’s a good one. Side-by-side with the S 20V it’s pretty close. Next to the PMA 11 the PMA is much harder...about like an S90v blade. A tad harder to sharpen too but a Gatco diamond system makes them all scary sharp.
Heres the Mule
