I always liked the concept of dendritic cobalt blades, but they didn't last long and so I thought that while the theory was sound they must have been a gimmick. I remember reading about Paul's "new" blades when they first came out and they were part of this outdoors series with animal and nature scenes etched on the blades, similar to the Franklin Mint garbage. That may have hurt them as lots of other people probably saw them the way I did.I wouldn't mind giving one a shot someday.Def
I have the Basic 1, 2, & 3 & like them a bunch, although I don't carry fixed blades very often.
