MaxeythemanExcuse my ignorance, but what's the difference? I've never used a cutter.

Toast25Wear resistance, corrosion resistance, HRC, edge retention.
My cutter may accidentally come across water time-to-time, and I would prefer to keep rust off of the blade.
And I find it absurd that I have to resharpen my cutter every couple ten uses with a an old steel like 440, when a even a low end powdered steel will last me for hundreds, or a high-vanadium carbon steel lasting me thousands of times.

MaxeythemanSo once again, could you let us know who makes a cutter in M390, S30V, or better? I know of only one non 440 or 440c. Both Xikar and Colibri have programs to factory resharpen cutters.

Toast25You will find many knives that are made with high quality stainless. 440 is a bit old and stainless. So I'm not sure what Maxeytheman is referring to rust. True 440 does not have the edge retention that newer stainless has but then the new stainless is a pita to sharpen. In addition steels such as S30V are more expensive. I have a Benchmare Grabillian special edition made with it and it costs $189. So you can imagine what a lighter/cutter would cost let alone a mechanism of a cutter solely .
Most manufactures will charge you a small fee if you send in a cutter to be resharpened. I only know of one cutter that is non 440, and that is the Xikar XO. I've asked Maxeytheman what cutters he is referring to a second time. Perhaps he will enlighten us.
