Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades S35vn vs 1095

If you are referring to ESEE knives, by all means buy the S35vn steel if you can find it. 1095 is a decent, though rather pedestrian old school steel. I have ESEE 3 knives in both steels. I find that the S35vn blade gets sharper, stays sharper, resists staining, cuts better and overall far outperforms the same knife in 1095.
