9cr18mov is actually made with an electroslag remelting process, which is sort of the ancestor to PM processes. Should give it some of the benefits of PM processes like making the steel more consistent throughout.
Look up AR-RPM9. Powder metallurgy 9cr18mov exists.
I love 9CR18MoV steel.
Criminally underrated
Zero thumbs down- NICE! I am working on the Civivi reviews and they use this. I'll probably link this video at the end. Thanks!
oooh blessed with a civivibivibivivivi, lucky man!
Civivi used this 9cr18mov on thier damascus lineups. Civivi does a fantastic job with it. Sharpens wicked.
I own one of these (Free Wolf 9Cr18Mov) knives. I have used it carelessly and after about 3-4 years I can still say that I’m impressed with its durability / quality. For a knife I purchased for about $20 bucks, it has been worth it and more.
9Cr18Mov is a good enough blade steel for WE Knives to be using it in their new Civivi line of knives.
Merry Christmas ! Thanks for testing the 9Cr18mov steel.
I got one of these free wolf knives few years back still have it. Paid 20 bucks for it and I can't stress enough how perfect the detent is on this knife at least with the one I have. It's a suburb budget knife for sure. Razor sharp out of the box. I still carry it quite a bit in my rotation. Best 20 bucks I ever spent on a knife that's for damn sure. Smooth opening and closing as well. More so than knives that I paid double and triple for. It's like butter smooth. It's a shame they stopped producing them. Oh did I forget to mention the pocket clip is awesome as well. No screw heads sticking out to catch on pocket they are flush with the clip plus it sits extremely low in the pocket. What more can you ask for with a 20 dollar pocket knife really.
The knife is a Chinese knock-off (naturally) of Alexey Konygin’s Asymmetric
I knew someone would come through with the goods! Cheers
I had not found anyone on my channel who could tell me what it was a copy of. THANKS for the info Mikhail.
I knew it was a copy I just could not remember for the life of me the name of the original. You just saved me a bunch frustration
Thanks man! I asked about this steel and the sleipner and you did both. Very cool. Surprised on this 9cr one, not horrible. The sleipner surprised me on the second test with 180. So interesting how different edges do so much better than others. Your the man!
Hi mate...thanks for that.... I have made a number of knives using 9cr18mov and I rate it as good as 440c and 1095 for edge retention. For me once it has been sharpened it hones up a little easier than 440c....but I feel 440c is better rust resistant. There will of course be the usual "it's all junk..shit..etc" without having tried it...
How can 440c be more rust resistant when the carbon steel is pretty much the same as 9cr18mov with 19cr18mov having more chromium. That makes absolutely no sense.
I knew you would find my main complaint about that knife. I have no idea why they made a spike right where the index finger takes hold of that handle. A total stupid move on their part.
I am glad your testing agreed with my intuition about the steel. I hadn't done a scientific type cut test before I mailed it off to you.
Feel free to take a file to that sharp point to make it a bit less painful to use, and do anything you like with the blades I sent you. I am very glad to get a second perspective on them.
Schrade has a bunch of folders with 9cr for cheap. Good retention for the price you'll pay.
Great testing, you are the go to to real world reference on knife steal performance.
Nice contribution to your channel from Jake at Canadian Cutting Edge, sharing the love at Christmas time
Merry Christmas Pete. Thanks for all the videos, all the best to you and your family for the new year :)
You are the greatest Christmas gift 💝
everyone need a wolf, a Free wolf
Merry Christmas to you and yours mate. All the best to ya from the Emerald Isle ☘🍻🤙
I've noticed it to be around the 440C mark from cutting with it, but I think it takes a little finer of an edge when sharpening.
I took the Dremel to that lock bar point. It makes a world of difference. BTW, the knife is called The Asymmetric. Don't know if it's a direct knock-off of a known knife. I do know the action on mine is buttery smooth and slick. For what seemed like the longest time it was the easiest deploying knife in my hundred and sixty plus folding knife collection.
Merry christmas.
Love the Obi-Wan Kenobi Entrance.
Excellent content!!! Thanxs for sharing, Merry XMAS!!!
Not hot here in England,, miserable as sh*t,, anyway, Merry Christmas to you and yours, keep up the good work buddy,
Thanks for the review. I really appreciate your honesty. Sometimes I wont buy a new knife until I see you test it ! Keep up the good work dude !
This steel is slightly different than 9cr19mov. I hope you test BG Ultimate pro knife itself to see its edge retention. You have tested unpopular knifes but you haven’t test it although it becomes popular even you tested all others Gerber knifes . Looking forward to you to test it sooner.
(Please bring the broken tip knife 😂)
I absolutely despise this steel. My Civivi Praxis (9cr18mov) is my EDC, and it dulls almost instantly. I'm not sure if it's a heat treatment issue, or a sharpening issue, but I shouldn't have to resharpen once a week when all I do is cut cellophane tape with it
That knife looks like a stabby unhinged citizen type of knife.
At least it’s better than 8cr13mov. Thanks Pete
That's kinda impressive considering the price point this steel is usually found at, I mean I'd certainly rather have this than 5cr15 or any of the other cr-mov steels.
How was it putting the edge back on the knife?
Try out CPM cruwear It's supposed to be very tough, but I want to know how it holds an edge. I've been using your vids as a reference, and you have not let me down yet.
yeah such is life
So, something you said on this made me wonder. Do different steels have different edge-death phases? Like this one out of the blue goes dull like POW [what happened?] but that one gradually almost imperceptibly gets gradually worse and worse until you finally decide to sharpen vs the other one that might transition from toothy to more smooth and have impacts or changes to the cutting etc? I think that is a thing right? Can you share any experiences with this? I am personally most interested in (in this order) S90V, BD1, N960co, 12C27.
messed up bark river bravo 1lt 3v vs lt wright outback
what happend to the lt wright outback and in your opinion what is better the bark river bravo 1 lt pls reply
What steel do you prefer for EDC?
Here's what real steel is saying for this new blade they are making for the Arbiter. dunno how better or worse the HT could be vs this Freewolf.

Quote.
Gong points out that the Arbiter’s blade steel should not be underestimated due to associations with 8Cr13MoV. “The Chinese 9Cr18MoV is disregarded by many, and the true potential of it is not fully recognized,” he asserts. The significant presence of .9 - 1.05 Carbon (compared to 8Cr’s .7 - .8), along with a confident heat treat, makes it a special material. “The edge retention [it] gives allow this steel to compete with some of the best out there.”

IF only CRKT would upgrade to 9cr
yeah that would actually be a very simple solution to meeting the complaints halfway without surelynincreasing costs much at all
Most my knives are 9cr18mov... Buuuut... I'd really like to know how cpm-M4 performs with super acute angled edge! Would you be so kind as to re-do the M4 steel, but with a 13° edge &or smaller please?
Do it!! This guy has been asking on all your vids! Do it! M4 13 degrees baby!
Can you blue this steel?
So it's kinda like VG1 from cold steel?
That knife looks huge! Don't have any experience with 9CR, im guessing it's 8CR plus 1 extra CR, though I could be wrong :).
Happy Holidays!
Were you going to post a link to Jake?
there is it - theres a card too
Interesting blades shape, uninteresting handle.
5 word review 🖒
Say Heah Cedric, actually is more like a 440b. but a little better.,,.p
You are really stuck
