From what I read around, Bergeon is using a harder steel which make it more prone to breakage. Horotec blades are better and I own a set, really worth the money.

Interesting, thanks. Are Horotec blades compatible with Bergeon screwdrivers?

I have the Horotec whole set so I can't really comment but I think it should work fine.

Hey, im definitely not a master watchmaker haha,

The T ones are definitely way harder but also got finer tip. You have to understand how to use screwdrivers properly.

I suggest this video:

And if you don't want to invest in the sharpening tool (320$) that can sharpener t blades stay with the regular ones and regular sharpener. Because it's way cheaper.

oascom That is a great video and a good perspective on the requirements of owning the “T ones.”

Yup, I like the T ones better. They slip less in my experience and "grab" strew way tighter, but like I said it's expensive to replacing them so without the special tool it's better to stay with the regular ones.

How do you machine/cut/drill the meteorite without it breaking? I would think it fractures easily along the crystallized edges.

Super tiny drills and hand drill and lots of oil and patience
