Yes Marco! The aquatic shimmers and is stunning. All beautiful knives, I’ve never even held one but can certainly appreciate them. Thanks for the video.
S90V is phenomenal but, very misunderstood. That said, Vanax is just chefs kiss 🤌. Personally, if you’re not going for high toughness, Vanax might be the best “high-end” steel for safe queens aside from Damascus or Damacore (which some variations have Vanax cores). Tired of M390/20CV (although good steels). Believe it or not, Elmax is in the same tier as M390/20CV. Very similar qualities and performance as long as heat treats are equal. For me, my top 5 steels would have to be MagnaCut, Vanax/LC200N, CruWear, Delta 3V, & S90V. Vanadis 8 & 10V being honorable mentions. Great video as usual! Shirogorov is simply one of the greatest out there. His collaboration knife, “Overkill”, with RJ Martin is a thing of beauty!! Edit: A couple months ago, I seen a new model sporting MagnaCut on Shiro’s instagram but, I forgot the name of the knife.
I agree that Vanax has to be up there with the very top steels at the moment and I do believe that Elmax is up there with some of the best and most-balanced steels. I think it is hugely underrated. For me most likely it would be MagnaCut, Vanax M390 for folding knives and Cruwear 3V and 4V for fixed blades (if they are large, if they are small, thenmy foldin knives list applies)
