Nice hunter!...with good distal taper on the blade!
I feel free to tell my experience with CPM 10 V ...
I have a blade of this steel on the work bench, and I am disappointed a little bit(no, actually a lot...).I tested it with cutting sisal, whacking in giraffe bone and hardwood roots, and it performed simply boring bad.
compared to the higher costs of buying, working and heat treatment, this steel makes no better blade.
it is not half the way wear resistant than 2519, 2550, 2552, 2516 and 2442 but sharpens lousy difficult. it chips like a stainless in big carbide nicks and not getting an even dull blade like low alloy tool steels.....and it rusts like hell!!!..much more than the aforementioned steels.
I let the blade finish itself, means here in tropical enviroment, marks from grit 150 dissapered by corrosion...
On the other side high alloy steels
have a big individuality, for example: i had superb high alloy blades and out of the same billet, same heat treating, and real bad ones.
this was the last one of the cpms I tested
so evreything is relative means I only have the experience of this one blade....but I will not waste time in another.
no offence, I am just sharing my experience on this steel....
keep up the good work!
