Yeah, anything in Vanax is really expensive. The steel alone is hard to find and one of the most expensive you can get. If you’re constantly in a humid and salty environment though, in my opinion, Vanax is the best.
Hello, glad to hear from you. They’re different steels, pretty much Vanax has better edge retention and LC200N is tougher. They both have a hardness cap around 60hrc. Both are pretty much unaffected by salt water but seeing that LC200N rusted in less than a day when it made contact with Vanax, it seems Vanax is quite a bit more corrosion resistant. Hope this answers your question.
So I got a weird result from H2 on day one as well. It began rusting from the rubber band on the first day. I restarted the test the next day too and since then it hasn’t shown any signs of rust. I don’t know what caused it to rust the first day. Since it hasn’t done it again, it might be a flaw in the steel or an after affect from being tested up against H1 that affected that area. I don’t know. Once I end the test I’ll include the video of the rust from the first day.
@@totesmalotes so do you believe that maybe H2 is not as rust proof as H1; I can't get my head around it. It shouldn't have rusted (at least according to your previous test results). I believe none of them rust when submerged in salt bath (H1 and H2 )
@@SPYROSMANTZAKOS I’m going to test H2 against H1 again but I have to finish this crevice corrosion test first. From what I’ve read all conductive metal is susceptible to crevice corrosion and I need to find out at what point H2 (and maybe H1) is affected by it. From what I’ve seen the H1 vs H2 test is going to go on for a long time and I have to be able to rule out crevice corrosion as a cause. Other than that, yeah it’s super weird that there was a spot of rust on H2, maybe later I’ll get answers.
@@totesmalotes any results from H2 Vs H1? Did you conclude anything? Are they similar in corrosion proof? How about that spot of rust in H2 that you had found a couple of months ago? Was it just a flaw in the steel as you said?
@@SPYROSMANTZAKOS I still have the h2 blade sitting in the cup with almost all of the water evaporated. I’ll make a video of it but to me the test is inconclusive. There is rust but it doesn’t make sense. It’ll be easier to explain while I show it.
this is dope to me... I just watched a guy unbox a paid Quiet Carry for more than my paycheck... the future of Earth's tools .. yay

How much difference is there in the 2? I thought they were the same steel just different manufacturers? Glade to see your doing well.

There is sulphur present in that rubber band
How would one know which rubber bands have sulfur?
How did the H2 performed; Did you see any rust forming until today;
