When to choose it

Choose this version if you specifically want the M42 steel option in the same nominal flute and shaft dimensions as the M2 version. That lets you compare steel and upkeep while keeping the physical setup similar.

The listing calls the flute half an inch and the bar five-eighths inch. Compare that pair rather than ordering by the shorter size name, particularly when checking a sharpening holder or fixture.
