Thomas, The Fehrman's are supposed to be brutal. Their made out of CPM 3V a supper tough blade steel. They do carry a high price tag but from what I have seen on the net their worth it.
Has there been any tests done on them? A friend told me about them only a few days ago. I like the look! I never herd of that steel before? Is there anything you could tell me about them?
No Problem, They Say it is indeed tough and very wear resistant. I going to get to test the steel soon on a custom knife being made and donated for a destruction test.
It should be strong. I haven't seen any tests on this. It also comes down to the design of the knife as well.. some designs are much stronger then others using the same steel.
I wonder how this knife is compared to the battle mistress. I hear the price is the same for the battle mistress if you order direct from Busse, the waiting time not withstanding.
I think for me, as tough as both are, it'd be which is more corrosion resistant. I think they're both tough enough as it is. especially with the guarantee eric puts behind his.
I would love to see one of these. I use mine regularly and it has held up without question. Now a hammer might do it in, but for 99.8% of users...It is more than you need.
