This is getting high interest (for this forum) which three threads so far asking about it. However there is not that much discussion on the Spyderco forum which is curious. I wonder if it is just the 440C label throwing people who are used to the high vanadium and PM steel approach.

2,000 cuts from cast 440c vs 80 from VG-10 is an extreme difference.

Here is the original thread in british blades...
[www.britishblades.com]
You will notice that there was a 18 to 1 ration, and the VG10 in 3mm Thick did 95 cuts, so that makes it around 1700 cuts with the first Serrata, the one mentioned in the posts above?

In that case I guess investment casting is mostly done to get a convoluted shape for that would normally require forging, for cheap.Quote

The investment cast, 440C, Firestone Belt Axe has been a triple face palm mystery to me for years. I had to borrow my kids hand to get enough face palming to cover it.

Your shaving test is much higher than the phone book paper. Knives I consider dull will still smoothly slice phone book paper.
Fair enough...I will stick to hair...as long as I have some left...
There in lies the problem with that test, among others.

How much grinding is done after casting, how close is the as-cast edge thickness from the final thickness?
