Bill, of course (your commnet about s.steel). But I did it on purpose in fact. I know that S60V or S90V, S3V, and most carbon steels can be very agressive cutters as well. Especially when sharpened in a certain way (I mean "micro-serrations" on the edge). We can skip this part of my question in fact. I'm more interested in an answer, what do you (SF) think about non-ferrous blades. Non magnetic blades? Do you find them useful in your job? Better in any certain way or under certain conditions than s.steel (let's say S30V of your Green Beret)? EOD guys do notice the difference as far as I know

It's the size of Sebenza but it's noticeably heavier. Not THAT much, but still I was able to tell that just after I unpacked it, even without sebby in the other hand.

EDIT: Mick, I'll PM you with pleasure. Rob Simonich was a GREAT guy...
