The new outdoorsman along with all of cold steel s san mai blades are now made in taiwan and have a vg 10 core.

Cold steel vs fallkniven duration.
I am currently doing the okc with an f 1 pro in cos steel.
Vg 1 also known as v gold 1 steel is a high carbon c molybdenum mo stainless steel manufactured by takefu special steel co ltd.
A very sincere thank you to all.
I have drifted both towards and away from fallkniven at varying times.
Cedric ada gear and outdoors.
I have an older a1 that is solid vg 10 zero issues.
So here is a comparison between both versions of the cold steel master hunter knives.
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.
I have yet to find a vid with both being compared side by side so here it is.

Falknivens in my opinion are head and shoulders above anything made by cold steel other than their san mai stuff.
But they have all treated me very well.
Those laminated blades are just about bomb proof the f1 is nice the h1 is even nicer and several folks ptwood on.
But i have had good luck with fallkniven s vg 10 laminate blades.
