I've had the pleasure of using your knives for several years now and can testify to the fact that your designs and processing of the chosen steel are exemplars of the art. 👏👏
Thanks and your supports are much appreciated. In 12/20 batch, I re-hardened 6xD2 65rc, 4xsanmai VG10 63rc folder blades. Of course there were 13 other fixed blades :D.
I want to test choppers and axes but arms make me wait, well a good opportunity to dig deeper into crystal kinetic and play around with folder. [1pt font size] busy :D
You are a genius! Using a file of known hardness to remove burned edge is so much better than what Outdoor55 did. He sharpened it 8 times while still just guessing. 🙂It does dull the file though, doesnt it?
Thanks. There are many tell tales/signs of burnt edge, once observed - use known hrc(at or slightly below subject blade) file, blade, etc to scrapes/saw/whittles at subject's bad steel until skate and or polish...
Thanks for asking. BCMW is mostly conducting research and sell research/prototype as custom knives. Price is excellent for its blade performance (quantitatively speaking). This video is testing feasibility(product development) of volume/production powder steel folder with much higher performance than benchmade & spyderco at 40% lower price.
:) iirc spyderco maxamet knife has good ht, so make sense to grind a thinner edge geometry first. As you can see, this walmart ozark trail d2 knife reprofiled edge performed quite well - once its burnt edge is removed (unfortunately lost1/32" blade height)
Yep I watched & commented on his 2-3 days old video. I bought these 8 knives 9 days ago - there were a bunch more in stock but now can't find them anywhere LOL. I almost throw a modified 63rc Kizer S35VN folder in this test but decided to keep it ozark/D2 only.

Cool, do you sell knives?

@ nice👍
Can i send my maxamet for reheat treatment, sharpening can be a slob.

hahahaha, you saw Outdoors55 vids.
I always look fwd to another vid from you.
