The new outdoorsman along with all of cold steel s san mai blades are now made in taiwan and have a vg 10 core.
Vg1 san mai vs fallkniven vg10 laminate.
Those laminated blades are just about bomb proof the f1 is nice the h1 is even nicer and several folks ptwood on.
So i should have some feedback as things progress.
The newer knives also ship with their secure ex sheath and not the leather one.
Fallkniven f1 vg 10 vs cold steel master hunter vg 1.
Cold steel vs fallkniven duration.
Fallkniven nl2 odin length overall 12 72 blade length 7 87 blade thickness 0 26 weight 13 44 oz blade type vg10 core 420j2 laminate rc 59.
It is not the same steel as vg 10.
I have yet to find a vid with both being compared side by side so here it is.
Vg 1 has a carbon c content between 0 95 1 05 chromium cr content between 13 0 15 0 molybdenum mo content between 0 2 0 4 and contains less than 0 25 of nickel ni.
But i have had good luck with fallkniven s vg 10 laminate blades.
I am currently doing the okc with an f 1 pro in cos steel.

But they have all treated me very well.
So here is a comparison between both versions of the cold steel master hunter knives.
