Brittle Edge
Just finished up an S30V kitchen blade - thin edged, hollow ground. Doesn't hold an edge real well.
The brass rod test kinda created a wire edge. But, no major chipping or anything, but the edge just doesn't hold up, like S30V should. It's about 61HRC. Maybe that's too hard? I'm thinking it not just a hardness issue. I'm thinking maybe I have to change the angle, but it's just under 20 degrees. That's not very steep. It's weird. I'm feeling lost here. Steve
