M390/204P steels are really a lateral move from Elmax. More wear resistance, less toughness. Personally, I'd favor the Elmax as micro chipping requires more effort to repair than just stropping some edge wear.
My interpretation of knife tiers from knifesteelnerd's tests, based on a simple multiplication of toughness × wear resistance rating (so favoring more balanced steels).
1st tier (from tougher to more wear resistance)
3V Cru-wear Magnacut 4V M4 K390 10V 15V
2nd tier (from tougher to more wear resistance)
12C28N AEB-L LC200N SPY27 S35VN Vanax HAP40 XHP S30V S110V S90V
3rd tier (from tougher to more wear resistance)
420HC 52100 Nitro-V A2 8Cr AUS-8 M2 CPM-154 VG10 CPM-D2 SG2 D2 Elmax S45VN M390/20CV/204P ZDP-189 M398 S125V Maxamet
4th tier (from tougher to more wear resistance)
H1 5160 80CrV2 L6 V-Toku2 1095 Super Blue 420A BD1N 4116 154CM 440C N690 Rex-121
The toughest (H1) and highest wear resistant (Rex-121) aren't high tier here, but this accords with how well they work as EDC knife steels. Some tough stainless steels (like 12C28N and AEB-L) don't get nearly enough credit, some brittle highly wear resistant steels (like ZDP-189 or Maxamet) get too much.
The Lil Native is a great small knife, really solid for being tiny. I'm digging that versions color.
i have the Riv and cant flick it with my left hand, also hate that the clip is not reversible........will sell it for sure, i love the lefty factor !!
I think u get used to it but its not natural really. I still love it though. Which do u have? I may be interested.
Cool comparison of two good looking little knives. I've always wanted to check out a Lil native. Great video 👍
Was able to pick up a like new riv for $100, very happy with it.
Title for the new series could be “Last Left Standing” 👀👀🤣🤣 little pun on left there for ya 👍🏻
I love you Jordan, but that is a terrible name 😂. Maybe Last Blade Left Standing......
@@LeftyEDC nah that’s too long. Mines better! 👀🤣
Just the video I need! Contemplating which one to get.
Good choices man. Can't go wrong.
This was an excellent vid. Very informative and leftyable scale is a great idea.
Thanks bud
Great 👍 Video! Got lil. Native. Love Giant Mouse.!
Thanks 😊
Thanks for another great video; I have both knives but in different configurations (Riv - Brass, and Lil'Native - Carbon Fibre). I also prefer the Riv.
You asked for feedback; an important element of quality improvement. I listen to your videos while shaving. Often you use phrases like "the materials on this guy" or "the action on this knife ..." which can be confusing unless you are watching and listening. If the viewer is only listening, then the quality of videos is improved with phrases like "the Riv is heavy" or "the Lil'Native is lighter". You can tell me to go take a hike! LOL. Cheers.
I hope you have a very enjoyable hike a on trails worn by time through the mixed forests, and I agree with your comment about the "this one; these other". I listen while cooking. cheers
Spyderco Techno 2 is very similar too and titanium.
I have the riv and really like it a lot. I also love Spyderco, I have 20+ of them. Good video, you're welcome to use my challenge name (chicken dinner EDC challenge:;)
This is really making me want to get a lil' native, honestly.
Do it
Really considering picking up the Riv. I want a small knife so I don't have much options. The dragonfly's is kinda out of the question for my cause I don't want anymore Spyderco backlocks. And if I wan't Titanium and a decent steel I don't have that many options if I want a wider blade, and not a slim gentleman like knife. So I think I'm going with the GM Riv. Unless I find something else. Have considered the Fox Yuru is S90V also but it's like $50 more.
both are nice haven't had either one but they look very smooth.where do u get those bearings u mentioned. thanks 4 the great video bro
Gillian knives. Just google that. And skiff bearings are the others skiff made blades.
@@LeftyEDC thank u Kevin hey I got my swag today super awesome thank u so much bro
@@M_bomb dude, thank you for wanting the swag. Appreciate you watching
@@LeftyEDC u got it bro ur channel is awesome 4 sure
Great comparison of 2 smaller knives
Thanks John
"I carried it a couple times, I'm going in blind." Here's a 40 minute video.
hey kev , love the lil native in which ever lock style. love the riv but don't own one........am thinking a buying one but will cost me $277........ here in the uk. i am looking at the urban supplies f5.5 carbon fibre with damasteel .............. $500 but with taxes etc. will cost me $691............is the f5.5 alot better than the riv in your opinion ? 👊👊👊
I love the F5.5 man. They are different sizes, Riv is tiny, F5.5 is a good size. Also if you are lefty like me, definitely go F5.5. But maybe try to find one on the secondary. The damasteel one is twice the price because of the steel. With those options, i would lean Riv cuz of the price. I still think u should find a F5.5 in a regular steel
I see them for sale occasionally on KnifeSwap. Can’t you get one there? There is a CF/Elmax one right now for $275. You can always send it to me and I’ll ship it on to you if that helps.
@@LeftyEDC hey kev , just bought the carbon fibre in damasteel 😮 a lot of money especially as it will cost me more than you guys over there, but no worries can't wait to get my hands on it. that urban edc is a cool website ain't it 👊 i might have to sell a couple now to accommodate this , take care pal ian.
New to your channel. Great information. What size Skiff bearings are used in the GM Riv?
5mm 1/16 would be my guess and id say im 90% sure its right
@@LeftyEDC thanks.
Damn. I had no idea the Riv was that small 😮
Its tiny man
The lil native blade is PVD coated in FDE or “flat dark earth” 🤓👍🏻
Thanks for the abbreviation description like I am an idiot. 😂
And of course i filmed my review already, so u can tell me again when that posts in a week.
Call it Knife Madness or Blind Shank, Knife Duel!! Lol Have a graph like March Madness of a bunch knives going at each other!!!
😂. Not a bad idea, but a lot of work haha. U know me, the easier the better.
"Chicken Dinner EDC Challenge"
Does anyone have a link to that exclusive Lil Native? Can't seem to find it.
I think its long gone
Leftnut Leftnut
😂
Bahaha i dont think ive ever bought a knife by how it sounds
Riv is better.
*IMHO of course
Screw the sensitive sheeple man, Riv is better!
@@LeftyEDC we’ve got the same tastes on most knives bro. The right taste as I call it.
