This is so exciting, E!!! It's so inspiring to see you stay true to yourself and your morals, not be swayed by the lure of the evil dollar, and set yourself on a new path where the only captain on the boat is YOU!!! It's pretty wild to see just how much incrementally better you're getting with each slip that you make!! You're so driven and talented with whatever you set your mind to!!! With your sense of creativity, you can make literally anything out of leather that you can dream up!!! I'm so proud of you, Erica!! You are an inspiration to everyone out there who wants to change their current life situation, but maybe doesn't know how to do it for themselves (I am guilty of this myself!!!). I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person on this planet who has Slater Carrot that was SPRINKLED WITH CHEESEBURGER DUST!!!! 🤣🍔🤣🍔. I can't wait to see what you do next, Slater!!! You are my Crispy Chicken Paradise, Erica, and I love you!!!! 🥰🧡🍔🥰

It's a really great steel! My thinking goes as follows: For sharpening, ceramic stones are great for small touch-ups and maintenance, especially with such a thin edge. However, I wouldn't recommend them for full resharpening or fixing bigger edge damage. Ceramic stones are softer than the vanadium carbides in this steel, so they only remove the steel matrix, leaving a rougher, less sharp, and less durable edge, and it takes longer. So, my recommendation is: If you plan to completely maintain your knives yourself, buy a diamond or CBN stone. If you plan to handle regular maintenance but send it out to a pro for bigger damage or full resharpening, a ceramic stone or rod is more than enough. This steel holds a proper edge for a long time, depending on use.

Agree on the K390. Have a Delica in it, and i can not feel any difference in the edge now, from when i first popped it out of the box like a year ago. Most do de-weeding and process small plants/twigs, and of course some cardboard. With my light use it feels it would take 3 years before i need to sharpen it 🤓 Perhaps it has become a smidget more toothy, but still is as sharp.

I feel the same way about M4. People told me it rusts like crazy. Ive used and slightly abused my M4 manix and native 5 with no rust and it holds an edge for freaking ever. I like it better than and of the other 6 or 7 other super steels that I've used. I don't have any K390 blades, but I did read that it is similar to 10v and I do have 10v a blade in 10v.

water stones will abrade the matrix or the steel but not the carbides, it essentially removes the matrix till the carbides just sort of fall out so you can sharpen them on water stones but CBN and diamonds will be much more effective and allow for much finer edges

@@acid6urns Thats true for alot of carbides in non-super steels too though, some of them are harder than industrial diamonds are so this should be true to some degree for all steels. I havent seen or experienced any issues with it so far, the biggest difference ive noticed have been that waterstones scoop out alot faster on these steels. I do know someone with a microscope though, will ask to take a look to compare micropithing the next time im there.

@@acid6urns Hello again, It turns out I probably dont have to test this, Todd at ScienceOfSharp already have an article on carbides in K390 where he does address the claim of 'carbide popout' or 'scoop-out' as he calls it, and found that the carbides at the surface eventually pulverizes even when ground against traditional aluminum oxide and silica based abbrasives, it just takes alot longer and is much harder on your abbrasives. That is if I understood it correctly though, feel free to read over it too and let me know if I missed something :)

@@kvernesdotten what? diamonds are harder than any carbide you find in steels. vanadium carbide is by far the most common carbide and is easily abraded by diamond, the only one that MAYBE would be the same hardness as diamonds is niobium carbide which is almost nonexistent in knife steel.
