What would your top 3 stainless steels be?

Gonna have to agree that Rex 45 beats M4 all day with a thin grind and acute edge angle. Ill post a link to a video of my Rex45 manix 2 regrind that Levi did at Northern Knife works. ruclips.net/user/shortsFlpWroO2eng?feature=shared

I have used the pliers a few times. They are great for loosening the coax on a tv, cable box, or cable modem. They are also great as a jumbo set of tweezers, smaller work like the wiring in the electric wires in living room furniture, drones, and other smaller tasks.

How's it looking now?

I also have this knife its been with me for about a year now 6:47 takes a beating pretty well look as good as the day i got it you will be impressed. Thank you

You literally didn’t inbox it. Why? Great knife.

Have you had any issues with the omega springs breaking?

Im starting to feel that all these different steels are a marketing ploy, to get us to buy more product. However it is interesting to compare different tools for different jobs. But its reminding me of when gortex was all the rage and we all bought into that. Turned out a cheap rainjacket made of normal waterproof material keeps you dry, just as well. I would peer at the label, for material , or check the tog rating etc. Now guys are buying really expensive knives, because it has wonder steel. Mainly us guys. We love thinking that we are getting the latest, best steel. Its too easy for t.hem

I’m so happy I found your channel I love the technical content on the steels. I am set on the Benchmade Osborne Mine but now I’m trying to decide on the S30 vs S90 seems like I can’t go wrong either way. It will be my EDC knife for life or at least a rotation. Have you experienced any major failures such as large chips or breaks using S90? That’s the only thing holding me back from choosing a 90 vs 30. I’m not planning on prying too much but might try to cut through some stranded wire in a pinch throughout my workday

Stainless would probably be better for food prep.

god this is painful to watch

i just got a Manix in M4 (already had one in Rex 45) but CruWear is my absolute favourite non-stainless. It's tough as nails, holds its edge _very_ well and it's crazy easy to sharpen our just strop back.

No 12 is the best

You got some nice knives Fletcher!

My first s90v knife is in the mail 🤌🤌🤌

There is very little noticable difference between 154cm and CPM 154 in daily use. I love my Altair XR. That .075" thick blade is slicey as can be.

CruWear and 3V are some of the best fixed blade steels, probably my favorite. I even have a CruCarta PM2, but I feel like the toughness trade-off makes less sense in folders. MagnaCut definitely is a game changer but for folders I think stuff like M390, S110V, S90V or even Maxamet will always be considered 'top steels'. Toughness in folders is just not that important, edge retention seems to be the primary attribute people look for. I like to sharpen mine a lot so I don't mind slightly lower edge retention. I also have more fixed blades than folders... for now.

If all K390 was heat treated in seki city and was available on more knives, I’d choose it hands down. I like it better, but it’s gotta be from seki city.

My top five fishing blades 1. Spiderco stok bowie 2. Benchmade Mini Grip 3. Spiderco tenacious 4. Ontario rat 1 5. Esee camp lore 2.5

I've owne Ken Onion Blur s30v for 90s years now and still part of my EDC with no issues I just told my Spyderco PM in s45vn so looking forward to it I like you tutorial looking for tutorial😊

Good job giving your opinion

I had the same burned steel thing with the Magnacut Deka and Hogue did me right. Since I'm not from the US, I suggested they send me a replacement blade as the cheapest option for both of us. After some back and forth, they eventually agreed. At first I noticed the grind was wonky, it basically had two separate grind lines, for the coarse and fine grit and was generally uneven. I'm decent at sharpening so I decided to fix that myself and did not think much about it until I saw how bad the steel was. It was literally crumbling away like the cheapest 5$ kitchen knives. The tip was the worst just like you said. Eventually the shape of the knife was ruined since the tip was grinding away faster than the rest that now had "healthier" steel.

Lol

Just snagged one for $40 Amazon Prime Days.

Very good presentation 😊

Dude where have ya been? Been missing your vids. I still watch the old BGM ones every once and a while

i think it is AA/NiMh only light. As far as i know only convoy makes lights that eat both 14500 and AA

This is how my mule in 15V was out of box. Stropped it with 1um Gunny Juice on basswood and it actually cut. Hope all is well bud 👍🏻

Late to the game, but just bought 2 at $49/ea through Beireli on closeout. One for me, one for my son. Great knife, btw. Been using it for a few weeks.

I also got an Slip it with that rattle ... I think, it is a loose pin, which is placed (hidden) between the pivot screw and the middle screw, within the spring in the back. The 2024 model has a continuous pivot at this place, which can be seen on the scale :-)

to much $$$$$$

Put all 3 keys on the large end and the key ring loop on the small end.

What adjustments were you making to the sharpener?

Thanks for sharing. There’s so many steels I don’t believe it really makes a big enough difference in which you choose. Unless it’s a special use and just for everyday carry either one will do so cost is what will make the difference in which to purchase. I own over 600 knives and weight and size mostly determine which i carry.

EDGE GEOMETRY IS WHATS IMPORTANT!!! I think it’s funny people how people get when they talk about steel now days. The fact is ask knife makers what they think matters more.

Sorry. My hearing is bad. I cant tell what you are saying that the knife make and model are. Can you please tell me?

That Para 3 is nice! Just got a Manix2 in Cruwear.

Micarta looks much cooler and with all the different cloth variations it makes some pretty amazing looking stuff. But G10 feels better and doesn’t seem to gunk up as easily. It’s also grippier.

Why are you cumming when you walk and talk

I use grease, is that OK?

Many thanks for a great video. As a UK Spyderco fan, this is definitely on my list.

DLT had some leftie inlay models n I’m considering picking one up 🤩 gorgeous knife

My Rough Ryder High carbon canoe has G-10 scales, as described by both SMKW, and CHKW but it looks like Micarta to me. I ordered the Rough Ryder Highland Cleaver. SMKW says the handle material is Micarta, where as Chicago knife works call it G-10. To me the handle material on both knives looks exactly the same. If the knife company's can't tell the difference how do we?

Decent content, yet why is the video 10min? Please try to reduce the excess content for us interested viewers. Thank you.

This video, are you for real? Wow, slow and low that is the tempo. Hint: Please speed up these reviews. We like the content, yet 20min videos we have to FF and skip through are foolish. Let's shorten the review process, for real.

That Benchmade was probably stupid expensive. They're prices are absurd.

would you rather this knife or the ka bar dozier in d2? What do you think is better for camping and farm work and heavy dutyness ?

In my experience not any improvement over the common VG10 Spyderco uses: poor edge retention and with just stropping the edge don't come back nearly as before. I guess it is just an entry level steel for those who don't need or don't want to pay more and are perfectly happy with AUS8 or 8Cr13MoV. Get a Spy27 version as a step up instead if you don´t need the standard CPM S30V. Yes, being such a soft steel many will say it gets scary sharp easily but... for how long? Not enough at least for me.

Everyone will want the s30v in the future when they stop using it and hard to get.
