| Swapping my 710 blade... which steel? | Login/Join |
Forumite  |
I have a 710sbt with the original ATS-34 blade, but I have really grown to dislike the serrations. I'm thinking of sending it back to BM to have them swap the blade for a satin PE, but I'm not sure which one to get. If they have any ATS-34 or 154CM PE blades left, should I get one of those, or the D2 blade? Did they ever make the 710 with a S30V blade (that's the one I'd get if they did)? ``````````````````````````````````````````````````` Confuse-us say: "Man who stand on toilet high on pot."

You'd get a plain edge (Current blade steel) D2 for $25 + $5 return shipping, total of $30.00.

Why the 154CM over the D2? I don't know enough about the D2 to know why I would pick one over the other if I have a choice. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````` Confuse-us say: "Man who stand on toilet high on pot."

For one thing D2 is the current production steel, but you might get lucky and find a 154cm blade in their backstock. Miracles do happen... D2 takes a great polish and a toothy edge but is a bear to sharpen. 154cm is a lot easier to work with, but as said above might be a problem to find for a 710. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.
