Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

Bohler M390

The steel that defined the premium tier. Mirror-capable, extremely wear resistant, and unhappy about lateral loads.

8Cr13MoV

The Chinese value workhorse, roughly comparable to AUS-8. Fine on a $30 knife, unremarkable anywhere else.
