    I enjoyed your testing of the steel. Looking forward to more testing on other various steels.

    I'm a fan of M4. Spyderco does a good job with it too.

    I swear on the left side of the knife after the wire stripping there’s a tiny “roll” on the edge. I noticed a slightly different sheen in the first tilt.

      Maybe something I missed when looking at it. What I can say is the edge felt pretty much perfect and still flew through phone book paper.

    I've been considering some Spyderco M4 steel. Stuff is costly. BUT, if it will perform like this under stress it takes a bit of bite out of the purchase price. Stuff seems great. Only concern is corrosion/patina now.

    • @NocturneKnives

      I bought an M4 Native Chief and forced a patina on the entire blade. Super easy and much less corrosion

    I also have this SMKW exclusive and have bad luck with it. I've only cut cardboard with it but had severe chipping almost immediately. It took 3 sharpenings to get to better steel and will likely take more to get past its burned edge. I haven't had that experience with the other SMKW PM2 M4 exclusives.

      Dang that sucks! As I said in the video, this thing has had insane performance for me! Hopefully you're well into good steel and good performance.
      With the edge I put on this, I cut up a bunch of cardboard (enough to lose hair shaving), then gave it a little stropping and the edge came back to 130 bess (as measured by the guy I sold it to recently)

      Interesting, is it satin like this or DLC coated? I sometimes wonder if the "bake on" process of certain DLC, interferes with the original heat treatment to some small extent. I know factory grinded edges sometimes ruin the heat treatment & you have to get rid of the "burnt up factory edge" to get the best steel. I have the Jungle Ware in satin & it performs flawlessly but I re-sharpened it on stones day 1. Sometimes people get a burnt out factory edge, where the edge was over heated by a grinder & the knife/steel never gets to see it's full potential because that burnt up edge is never removed. Just my experience. I think these CPM super steels are pretty picky.

    I bet after a few sharpenings, that staple test won't leave any damage at all.
    M4 is one of those steels that I always think I've found a better alternative for, then I use it for a few days again and it reminds me why it's so great.
    Edit: just found your channel. Subbed.

      @NocturneKnives  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I bet you're right! Yeah it's good to keep in mind that the performance I saw was with the factory edge, only lightly stropped. I expect performance will increase significantly!

      Hey man, I ended up selling this one unfortunately. But I did get to cut a bunch of cardboard with my edge and it stropped back to like it was when fresh

    If there is a better knife blade material then it is magnificent. M4 is a boss and i dont see all the fuss about rust is. Mine is still flawless. But i play and tend to it daily. As i would with any new quality knife
