I don't have the knowledge or the patience to conduct such a test but I am fascinated by the results. Thank you very much for your time!!!
You're welcome and thank you.
That domino is one of the best looking spydercos, and great content. Ive learned a lot about different companies because of you. Thank you
The Domino is a masterpiece... design wise and construction wise...
I am one of the lucky ones that got the discontinued version with black/grey carbon fibre laminate... the most beautiful knife I've ever owned...
@@alexanderbertallo1995 they sucked because the washers were so thin and they cupped/bent. And caused issues with action.
@@tacticalcenter8658 did not run into that issue so far... but honestly I hardly use the knife... it's my save queen...
@@alexanderbertallo1995 it created a huge fiasco. There were a few other models that did the same thing. It was bad because spyderco blamed users for their poor decision in putting thin washers in it. They then switched all new bearing flipper knives to a new system that they use today with thicker washers and new phosphorus bronze bearing cages.
I'll cover the aftermarket solution to the Domino bearings when I update mine.
I'd rather have 154 or s30 over these (super steels) The trade off just doesn't seem worth it to me! Thanks for the comparison 👍👊
Sweet...
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work...
Appreciate the hard work brother!
I had a bbs domino at 1 point it was complete shit. I've never been impressed by any 204p.
I've yet to find any either that's even good.
HILLtop knives and gear True yet the domino is a very nice knife for me.
Thanks for sharing.. great work..
Nice test Gerald!
Do you want to test a Military and a Microtech Socom in 204p for a comparison? And maybe an m390 Manix? I can send them along if you like. Just say the word.
Absolutely, just email me or send a dm on Instagram and I'll give you my contact info. I appreciate it, thank you.
Most of the production m390 has been extremely disappointing makes me not want to buy anything with m390,20cv,204p
First
Lol
Thanks for all the testing :)
The “book” on m390, 20cv and 204p is that they are pretty much the same steel. Yet m390 really does better above 61.5 HRC and the other two in the wild are often below 60hrc, no wonder they perform so so. Any idea when the tested domino was made? Codes from box? Just wishing that quality control got better with time, we are paying for the super steels, while so much performance is left locked in the steel because of heat treat. G thanks for the testing.
Thanks for posting brother. Have you tested microtech 204p?
th-cam.com/video/fHXyzvqWs8g/w-d-xo.html it's microtech m390 but basically same thing.
Excellent G! Thank you! 204p...meh!
It's too bad Kurt, maybe someday we will find some good 204P.
Spyderco must not be sharing there protocol with the other manufacturers they use. I'm assuming they would ht it the same or similar to m390 being that it's an analog.
That new lionsteel m390 knife they have coming out soon is going to be really really bad performance. Too bad too cause it's going to sell like hot cakes because it's m390 and micarta and that's all it takes to sell out to the sheep of the knife world.
It's too bad they will be using LS to do that one.
@@Outpost_76 Exactly my thoughts when I saw that model!
Geometry?? What's the blade stock? Is the 204p similar to the m390 and 20cv? I'm on the edge of my seat. I almost bought one of those bento box domino's recently.
M390, 20cv and 204p are the same steel made at different companies using slightly different methods. But near identical composition with some small variations. In the end when heat treated the same, they should be the same.
The blade stick thickness has no effect on testing and these both are very close on bte thickness which also has little if any effect on testing.
For what it’s worth I love my bento box domino. It’s got thin geometry and it’s a fun flipper comfortable to use. I got mine partly because I wanted another knife probably the PM2, but I like it better than the PM2 most days.
@@Outpost_76 thanks for the feedback!
I was wondering why you put these two together. Because they perform the same. Such a disappointment. Thank you for all the testing. You have really highlighted some disturbing trends in knife steel.
I tested these weeks apart and I was going to put each one up against different knives until they came out so close together.
Thanks for video to bad on 204p waste of money ! 👍
I'll talk more about it after I get some more of the S30V testing posted.
Part of me wants to send you my Microtech LUDT in 204P but I'm scared I'll be mad because of what it cost. I love your channel and what you do but some videos are so disheartening. Keep up the great work though. You and the others are saints to the community.
There's been a test on a microtech otf. It was poor performance.
Sorry it was m390 but wouldn't expect any better from 204p th-cam.com/video/fHXyzvqWs8g/w-d-xo.html
I did a video a while back about not letting testing results ruin a knife for you. I may do an updated video like that. I have some knives that don't perform as well as I'd like but I enjoy the knife enough to overlook it.
@@Outpost_76 true I like my realsteel megladon in m390 and it performs terrible, but had I paid original prices I'd be pissed. Fortunately I only paid 125 for it so not that bad. Though I don't want poor performance m390, but rather any steel that does as expected of the composition. M390 that performs poorly at lower costs is also unacceptable because your buying the steel with expectations that its supposed to do better than s30v... Due to the marketing.
@@Outpost_76 I watched that video and agreed with you. Just not sure I can love a knife I know has such a flaw. Thanks sir
