    3V is tougher so can take more punishment. Also Elmax comes in thinner stock so the blades are thinner than 3V. I would go 3V.
    Come around here and grab one for a while to try.

    Remember that these blades are mostly convex (same as Svord’s profile) and the steels are pretty hard, so they take a bit of sharpening. The best approach is to keep them sharp through a light strop up on leather and compound every deer or so.
