@@escapetherace1943if you stop supporting them you can kiss them goodbye. That’s not how industry works. I agree with some of your comments in terms of a need for more innovation from Spyderco but a lot of what they do and why they do it well, is because it’s a good recipe. You don’t walk into your favorite restaurant and demand change do you? It would be silly. Yet the restaurant over time expands their Menu at occasionally. No other knife manufacturers are pumping out such a wide range of steel options like Spyderco does. It may not matter to you but it does matter to many. Especially if you use a knife in a professional application where certain steels are needed.

Gotta love Eric, his personality is great and he's so happy and excited to discuss knives. I have talked to him on the phone twice a c couple years ago when I had a problem with a knife that had a crumbly edge and the steel kept crumbling away as I sharpened it trying to find Un fatigued/over heated steel but it wasn't that it was indeed a failed heat treat. We ended up talking for like 45 mins on the first call and like 1.5 hours on the second call. He was a total gentleman and a pleasure to discuss knives with. I had a problem with one of their knives and I had thr ceo calling me, how many other companies out there would that happen with? He wanted to know in depth what was going on and when they got the knife back and did their testing on it to find out what was wrong it was found there was indeed heat treat issue that caused some grain growth and the edge would just crumble away as it was formed.

Magnacut is much easier to rust than LC200N or H1/H2. Still pretty tough to do, though. Magnacut is barely more corrosion resistant than 20cv/M390/CTS-204P. Crazy as that sounds, it's true. I bet the coated magnacut is indestructible.

@@BrandonGavin_EDC Yeah, probably not even then. But basically, the same goes for 20cv/m390. Unless you need a little extra toughness to best on the knife, magnacut is probably not as good as those others. The H1/H2 stuff basically cannot rust, too, so there's that.
