60.7rc @ 400ft, similar to Reate. Perhaps they used secondary hardening just like Reate. I have not looked into what protocol shiro uses for m390.

Its 10 dollars??

Looking forward to more of your cruwear series and your thoughts on the pd#1 sprint run

I believe kizer might be one of the worst brands that makes knives today. they might be the modern day Mtech. But since all these knife reviewers dont actually use their knives. I bought a kizer button lock when I was new to knives, lock failed cut my finger, edge rolled on a dowel of wood, will never buy something from them again.

The d2 on my Ontario rat1 & 2 has held up better than my aus10a knives

Who cares sharpen that shit on a stone takes 2 seconds get it to a convex. Convex has no behind the edge. And stop cutting boxes so weird everyone cutting boxes. It's like everyone buys their knives hoping to work at FedEx or something lol

Dude I love your videos!!

CruWear is awesome and more corrosion resistant than it gets credit for.

Ive got a mini sheepdog and the harpoon in 10v. Ive only sharpened I he harpoon and its edge and ability to sharpen are worse than the d2 version of the same knife.

Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA Thanks for another good video subject. Mine is a CRKT Crawford design Point Guard. It has a 1/2 serrated blade and has taken a fair amount of abuse over the last 24 years and still performs well.

I love the RSK design throughout. Too bad their 20cv isn't made to its full potential. Looks like the Deka you have was 20cv did better though, but still didn't break 300 ft.

K390 is my favorite steel so far. Its the only steel ive got hair whittling off a 600 grit stone in less than 5 minutes. And it just cuts and cuts. Every other steel ive tried so far i have to go to 2k to get hair whittling

Ive had mine chip abit worse then yours on the curve of the belly and i still cant figure out the how or why. Maybe it was a poor edge i put on it at 20° but really not sure. Never used it for anything that hard minus some thin plastics and cardboard boxes

I like the short videos, but the longer format videos were good too. Btw do have a version of the spreadsheet that you have links to in your older videos and do you still make it available? I would love to view it if you would not mind. If you don’t share it anymore no worries and I completely understand. Keep up the great work!!

Love your content man. I’m wondering between AD20.5 20cv and quiet carry drift large which one would you pick and why?

Honestly got my auto adamas used from a gun shop and I’m blown away with the sharpness prettt sure it still has the factory edge

I heard you say you used basswood strops with diamond emulsion. How do you like it, i heard some people say it’s better than leather, what have your experiences been

Companies are screwing us over when they market an expensive steel, upcharge the price, and Rockwell it to under 60.

I carry the crkt Dextro. Its an awesome knife and is D2. Ive never had such a difficult time trying to get a knife razor sharp😅 all my other knives i can get scary sharp, but the Dextro is a lot more tricky IMO. I can get it to shave my hair, but it wont cut paper well. Super weird.

Thanks for the content. I do enjoy the data you provide. Those thumb studs are right in the way. Having to remove studs to sharpen means having to remove them for stropping too. No thanks. Also, they’re right in the cutting path so the usable blade is even smaller than it seems. Happy new year

Is it crunching down on the bearings when you tighten super tight like that

A drop of oil on the bearings and bar as soon as you buy it makes all the difference.

I have AD20.5s in both AUS10A and D2 and they both are equally great and came razor sharp with no burrs. Payed $90 each direct from Demko. Would buy again! 👍🏻

Hey there. How did the offset clip feel in comparison to the regular deep carry that you have on your knife? It seems like the hole in the offset would be a hotspot. Thanks.

One of the best utility cutter style knives ever made for 30 bucks or less. Hell Midway has them right now for 15.99 lol. Crazy good!

K390 and Cruwear are my top 2

I feel like freehand is the way to go

Really inspired by ur videos, thank u so much!😁

Would love to see you test CJRB s90v. Love the videos!!

I'm glad I found this video. I got one coming. I was planning on rounding off the tail and part of the birds beak. Looks like I'm gonna be doing the skinny mod as well. I have a 4" bench top belt sander with 6" wheel. I'm planning on disassembling it, then putting all 4 pieces together and using tape to secure it, so I can sand it all together. I would appreciate your input. Tips and pointers. Thanks.

I want the mod I have cruwear pm2

❤

I've got plen̈ty aus10 knives. Great all rounder steel. Everything's a tradeoff. ❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🪃🥷🌏✅️😊

👍🖖

Could you please test the Spyderco CTS micro-melt pd 1 steel?

According to OUTDOORS55, the heat treat and Rockwell hardness for these knives are good. However, the way they're sharpened at the factory screws up the heat treat on the apex. That's why they do dull so fast.

FYI - Spyderco dropped the Para 3 LW in 15v (Knife Center $153) They will be hard to get IMO when the run sells out. Great Summer carry knife!

Looking forward to seeing the "Walmart" knives fade from the top of the discussions in the knife community. GP Knives has a Spyderco exclusive, Smock in Rex 45 (sold out for now) hoping to get the version without the coating when it comes out. The Manix2 in Rex45 has been my EDC for the past 6 months. The knife has been touched up one time on a Spyderco medium grit ceramic stone. The edge came right back to shaving sharp in under a minute. Thank you for taking the time to make the video! 😎👍

The thing I like about SPY27 is how well it responds to a strop for a powdered steel.

Ok hold your hand up if youve spent $10 or more for an adult beverage at a bar or sporting event.

I got that sage 5 in rex 121. Hate it. K390 takes a better edge for me and holds it just as long in my use. I sold my maxamet, kinda wish i could have compared it to my k390. Do you like maxamet better or what?

I've got one of these and they do not hold an edge !!! I tried field dressing a deer with mine this season... The first couple cuts were ok , but by the time i was finished the knife was dull and borderline dangerous trying to cut through soft tissue... It couldn't stay sharp long enough to dress even one, thin skinned whitetail deer !!! About as real world a test I could give this knife and it failed miserably !!!

If the people weren't put a little bit of showing machine oil out it works fine

If you already spent $180 on a Bugout, it's tough to justify not carrying it.

Thanks for the detailed technical review. Mine tested 57.8 on the Rockwell C scale. I like this knife. I have used it for field dressing and skinning deer and it works very well. I really like the orange handle because it is easy to find in pasture grass if I drop it. Every tool in my skinning bucket is day-glow orange just for that purpose.

I appreciate it

If you think that I am in any way I did not mean to come across that way and I apologize if you thought that way I am just trying to help you to show you a better way to end up with a better Edge thank you for your time and patience within this matter

Please don't think that I'm knocking you on anything or disrespecting you

My finest grit that I use on a lot of my blades are upwards of 100,000 Grit

I make them sharpen them repair them restore them and polish them
