These debates are so funny to me. For 20 years I’ve heard the same argument in the AR15 crowd between standard button & cold hammer forged. Only a few bring up up cut rifling there. The believers will swear up & down CHF lasts longer & is more accurate & blah, blah, blah. Another popular debate is AR bolts made from C158 (Carpenter), vs 9310. They’ll swear the 158 bolts are better because that milspec! Even though people who actually know steel know that 9310 is a tougher, more wear resistant alloy. (Nothing to do with “hardness” once again.) And yet another argument among knife users. (And makers). That Forged knives are stronger than Stock Removal blades. I’m sure a couple here believe this lie.

The refusal to be part of the herd and simply believe what they tell ya, is how I’ve come to be able to do the things I can.
