I think the forks in my kitchen have better bladesteel than 8cr13mov 🤢
Yep. If a knife costs more than $25, I’m not even going to look at it if the steel is anything 8crXXXX
Obligatory:

Yes….8Cr13MoV is totally unusable. Everyone knows you need m390 to open Amazon boxes and bags of chips.
Buck has a new model in 7cr. Just why. How is it possible it’s that much more affordable or easier to work than 14c or D2?
Lol Nevermind on these. Not even a bd1n or vg 10. Chinese 8crmodogshit
Still in for the Bowie ASAP. That thin blade stock and ergos are worth the price of admission. It’ll be fine.
Eh, it’s not awful steel. In fact, as a first blade it’s a pretty great steel for two reasons:
1: you probably won’t break it unless you use your knife as a pry bar/screw driver (and if you do, it was a $20 knife anyway).
2: it’s quick to sharpen it, and you will sharpen it often, so you will learn how to sharpen.
I personally am starting to like knives in 14c28n or nitro v territory and not looking either direction.
While I agree 8cr is NOT a bad working steel, reasons others had listed above. The knife IS also overpriced for the steel it comes in.
