the knife lab is my favorite thing on the internet. no exaggeration
Jake Welsh what’s your favorite thing now ?
How about now? 😏
@@doctoruttley bro i dont even like knives anymore i was weird
@@jakewelsh903 Blasphemy!!
Nice vid! I think both steels are awesome. St. Nick's really gave a bunch of awesome free stuff with the 4V. Look forward to what they release next!
Almost 20k subs Pete.
Like Borat says "great success".
Thanks for the great channel mate. Keep on truckin.
Thanks again Pete your videos are always great love them almost as much as my Manix 2 collection and thanks for recommending the Spydy Carribean love that knife dearly
The beginning speech was so moving and touching
Great videos man. Love 'em. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for all the great information, Pete. I am sure you will try out different edges on those knives, but if you feel like doing so,it would be very ineteresting to compare their toughness at both 17 and 20 degrees per side. Have a good day
Great test. Thank you!!
Maybe mix the off cuts with some sort of epoxy and start making handles or scales for some knife models or just sell the blanks
Grazie pete!
"live your dreams man" i love that
Hey Pete! Hardness test addition would be highly appreciated bro!
Hello Pete! Just wanted to leave a big thanks for all your videos. You the man!
thanks friend!
I'm the wanker for not tuning in sooner, buy great intro and disclaimer at the start, great to see you having fun and learning at the same time. My guess is 4V is going to edge out the Cru. I have both and probably couldn't tell the diff ina blind side by side test.
Bigger difference than I would have thought, I'm sold on Spydercos 4V
Damn I wish I had a 4V pm2 or para 3!!!! They look sick
I e always thought you and Jim have been big time contributors to people curious about steels. Well done sir, your in good company. I reckon you will have a spyderco soo as Jim does.
always good to see this test my friend , by the way you start look like NED KELLY
I like it, I hope in the future you start doing more large fixed blade/survival type knives. Although maybe not as fun but everyone is testing the knives the same way...Baton, feather then stabby stabby stabby but none of them shows if these bigger blades can take a really razor edge and how long they'll hold it.
Awesome stuff.
Thanks Pete.
A little more vanadium carbides, for the Win! There is always a chance though, that a dash of Tungsten is going to help (Cru-Wear). But not enough, this time.
It was fun too. Watching that coffee cup of yours, almost spill. During the sped-up portion.
: - )
Good vid. Was curious about cruwear.
Just ordered 3 KIZER exclusives all in CPM-4v with green aluminum scales only for 150$. The sheepdog mini begleiter mini and feist. Insane good deal oh and it's 2023 so prices are insane now
"For FOX sake" lol that is pretty cool
I love your channel
Two of my absolute favorite steels here, I own both of these knives in doubles lol I have one of each that I use and sharpen and then I have one of each unused in my collection 😋
Typical collector behavior I do the same thing with my favorites. Very funny to see other people doing the same thing.
Always good to hear Hugh Jackman in his natural accent. 👍
I would like to see this test revisited but with your mirror 17deg edges instead...
Nice coffee cup man. Whale oil beef hooked (say it fast).
Would that possible be the coating on the 4V one reduced the friction?
100%
Mannn, I really wanted one of those St Nick's 4v para 3's but I was able to find a brand new cruwear one for half the price so I jumped on that instead....
I absolutely love the level of sharpness I got with just stropping the factory edge on it also and how easily it strops right back after use! Cruwear may be one of my favorites alongside M390 and M4, I own and like maxamet but man is it a bitch to sharpen it to the level of sharpness I like!
Haha greyman fookin brilliant
Whats the best grind? V or Convex?
Joey Lee I like convex for my outdoor knives and v grinds for my other stuff
Hey Pete, did I understand to say that there is a phone ap for analyzing edge angles?! I just started sharpening my own knives and I’d like an accurate tool to determine blade angles. Love the channel!
Matthew Day ,
I have a angle measuring app on my iPhone 8, something standard. But you can also download free versions of other apps.
Hey emmo, I’m an idiot. Found some apps after searching...you guessed it...angle finder. Cheers!
Matthew Day
You’re welcome. Please be careful, I have my doubts about the accuracy.
Was that Undertale music? Btw love the look of that 4v para 3
I'm thinking there must be a market for untwisted sisal rope? Maybe for those who twist it in the first place? I'm an ideas guy...
And now to go even further beyond.
In all your videos, do you ever reveal what you do for a living?
Older vid, but I'm still surprised at how well CPM Cruwear stacks up against 4V. 4V has more of C, Cr, V, & Mo...I would think that 4V should actually perform better than it did!
Having said that, I actually love Cruwear over 3V or 4V. It's like hitting an EDC sweet spot.
That being said with magnacut on the market to essentially replace 4v, how do you think cruwear stacks? Same opinion?
Which steel do you think resists chipping better?
@@JC_1095out of those 3, 3v will 100% chip the least bc it’s the toughest. all of them will roll rather than chip though most likely
@@LB-np5zvi’ve heard people describe magnacut as stainless cruwear. i have a knife in both but do not have enough use w/ magnacut to say yet. but i like my cruwear a lot.
Just because it can't perfectly slice paper. That thing is still extremely sharp ha. Thank you for the neat videos!
I recently got a manix 2 exclusive in 4v... I'm much more nervous about this result than I should be... I literally barely cut anything, what have you done to me 😂
you chose well, its a great all rounder for non corrosive environs!
@@CedricAda it's all thanks to you and this channel, before I found it I knew almost nothing about the different steels used in knives, and now I would consider myself a steel nerd 😅
Either of those for sale yet?
they arent my knives!
Oh you have a high stress job. What do you do.?
Please somebody start using 4V and V4E in production models already. I got the Manix 2 and PM2 which have since doubled to tripled in standard asking price. Got the Maxace Mammoth in V4E, that is the Godzilla of folders. Wish it were DLCed, but I would not say that in earshot ot the Mammoth
Now I have 2 DLCed Mammoths. Love to one yesterday, as well as the SOG Seal XR
What job could be more stressful then having a knife channel on you tube? Im constantly on the beat correcting all the knife sins.
Any rex 45 in your future?
Adam Sheppard got some in my hand right now! testing this weekend i hope
Yaaay
@@CedricAda Great!!!!
He spent time so we didn't have too thanks
I love the colors of that 4v! You wouldn’t be interested in selling that to me when ever you are done with it would you Pete?
No fire will stay lite there Cimmerian
hey man someone from Reddit told me about your channel. Could you recommend me a knife for my AAFC camp: it needs to have a blade under 4 inches and needs to be $60.
Thanks
Adib Pathan what did you end up getting?
Manly Patriot
? This is curious.... every time I test my 4V fixed blades against my Cru-Wear blades, the Cru-Wear easily wins out. Interesting.
Cruwear being better 4v is backed up by larinn thomas' data but they are close enough that they can come within error in manual testing.
Good 1, have ya heard anything about the hardness on Spyderco's 4V? Don't have a Spydie 4V, but def hope to see the Shawman in Cru-Wear or 4V, wud b perfect 4it
From videos I’ve seen it’s tested out around 63-65. That also seems to be the same numbers people are getting on the forums.
Manix 2 is usually 63-64, PM2s 65-66
They did a Shaman in this series, hardest to find. All limited to 500 or so pieces, and PM2 is going for $500 standard. Natives still popping up sub $200 even here and there
I want a Military, Civilian ot Emerson Matriarch 2 in DLC coated 4V. And a Tropen, why not
Add a paypal option man.
What did I just watch? Was that a robot
You should make fire retardant
if i a, not your prisoner why am i in handcuffs in a shed
In handcuffs and being forced to listen to Twisted Sisal!!?? (My fave band from the eighties). :)
I've Always said that cruwear although a good steel is a bit overrated and 4V underrated.
Do you watch anime I have noticed that you wear anime T-shirt a lot in your video
Hey. My name is Valentine, I make folding knives, Cultrotech. We cooperate with the heat treatment master Denis Frolov. He makes knives with a fixed blade, not many, over the past year 6 knives. don't you want to try it at work?
Valentin Zinchenko cultrotech make beautiful knives my friend
Send him an email I'm sure he'll respond if he likes what you're doing
The Svarn II is without a doubt the best folding knife I've ever owned. The titanium inlayed into carbon fiber was simply beautiful. The action was smoother than washers ever should be.
Beautiful craftsmanship, but, at the end of the day, its "just" m390. Fantastic all around steal, but there's much better steels as far as edge retention goes.
Unbelievable how far steel has come. We're at a point where people have actually said "just M390", and been completely serious.
Anyway, cheers from NY. Cultrotech puts out an amazing product. One of the few I'm proud to say I've owned.
Eyedea315 thank you

Five minutes out of eight talking bollocks - that's a record even for you! Enjoyed the last three minutes though.. ;) ;)
Would you sell me your red Para 3?
Zomonitan not mine to sell, these be loaners!
That music or whatever you wanna call it made me stop watching but other than that great review
