EDC Edge Perfection

Hey everyone. Here is just a quick video showing the sort of durability you’re going to get, even in a small edc knife from Mars Fire. It’s also important to understand the science behind with the differentially hardened zones of steel, and the inherent strength of the convex edge. When you get a Mars Fire knife you’re getting a qualitative advantage over just about any other knife you can poss...

Firstly, sorry for my mistake the Ontario knife is 5160! Secondly, this is a test showing the clear advantages of a well made convex edge. The differences between hand made and factory made are IMMENSE but you’ll easily miss them if you don’t know what you’re looking for! Enjoy! Check out my knives at marsfireforge on instagram.

Sorry for the weird recording format, this was before I knew how RUclips worked. Here is a custom little edc Bowie I call the kestrel. It’s a handy knife for all sorts of applications. Enjoy the video, and check me out @marsfireforge on instagram. You can PM me there if you’d like a knife like this one or something else custom.
¡¡Bravo!!
¡Gracias!
Those are beautiful knives
@@bobbyd4400 so glad you think so! Honestly I make my knives function first and let aesthetic come naturally from that, but I think it produces a sort of natural beauty. Thanks so much for the support!
I've tried several times to look at your instagram page but I get some error message. Is it still working?
@@darylbrenton4839 hey Daryl! It should be working here is the link. instagram.com/p/C8sVSfcR2Fk/?igsh=dmQ5ZTBnbGJlNDZ4. Also I responded to one of the comments you sent about 3 weeks ago on the forged edc knife video, sorry I missed that.
That one is just perfect !
Thanks! Honestly this is my perfect knife, that’s the reason I designed it that way after 15 years of use and making. Im glad you appreciate it! I still need to look into what international shipping would take on my part!
@@MarsFireForge I'm your subscriber, wish you all the best you really deserve this.
@@BBRWild thanks so much for subscribing! I’m very thankful for your interest in the Chanel. Looked it up and seems like shipping overseas would cost between 40-100$ (I’d just go with the cheapest option, that seems to be usps at about $40)
@@MarsFireForge If you have facebook or IG I will contact you.
Certainly! IG is @marsfireforge
Hey there! This one sold for $299. Without the file work wouldn’t take that much off the price since it doesn’t take me too long to do, so probably $285-$280. I can be flexible though so if you let me know what you’re willing to spend I can let you know how I can accommodate that. Marsfireforge@gmail.com you could email me there and we could chat more if you’d like.
Very cool knife and sheath!! Love it! Just found your channel! Awesome! How much for this knife as is without the file work? How does one contact you as well. Thanks!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support and you enjoying the channel.
Great looking knives and great demonstration of what to look for in a field knife! Good job on the taper and filework as well! Keep it up!
Hey! Good to see you over here! Glad you liked them, especially the taper! Only knife guys appreciate that. Thanks for the support!
Wow such an amazing knifes. Really good
Do you sell your handmade knives ? I mean other knives
@@BBRWildthanks so much! I’m glad you could enjoy the knives and video. And I appreciate the positive feedback! Yes I sell them or make custom knives for people as well! Neither of these two are sold currently either.
@@MarsFireForge Thanks ! Is shipping worldwide ?
@@BBRWildhey! Thanks for watching. Good question, I think so, if I can figure out how to ship something overseas
@@MarsFireForge When you know tell me, I’m in Georgia
What a beautiful and versatile knife!
Thank you! This one has to be my favorite, it always impresses me in the field. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching content!
Nice looking knife and that handle is awesome
Thanks! That handle was actually from a Kentucky long rifle blank my grandfather was planning to make before he died. I really love it because it has some of his legacy connected with it.
Bro shoots good but stands zesty asf😭

This comment needs more likes, it still makes me laugh to read it.
I appreciate how you have made a durable, effective, and versatile knife design. Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is great. The way they cut, slice and pierce is amazing, as is the way they stand up to use. On top of all of that, they are beautiful to look at, and would be a joy to feel and use.
Thanks so much for those comments. It’s really encouraging to hear your observations, and I hope others are able to come to those same conclusions! I’m blessed by your engaging with the channel, thanks so much.
My friend they look nice
Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate the encouragement
Your replys dont show up on my side ?
@@airiksknifereviews9548 oh that’s frustrating, I’m not sure why that would be. Can you see this one?
@MarsFireForge Yes , and now the other one showed up on my last comment . Last night it wasn't there nor could I see the comment under the other post from someone else. Strange .
@@airiksknifereviews9548 that’s one of the millions of reasons I will never trust self driving cars! An inconvenience here is a car crash there!!
Great attention to detail and design
Thanks very much! I make sure to wear and use and test all the gear I produce before I advertise it. I think all designers should be users! Which is why I always loved it when Lynn Thompson ran Cold Steel. That man knew his products!
Nice looking holster
@@michaelmosley254 thank you! I’ve made quite a few and this is by far my favorite. I appreciate your interaction with the channel!
Geometry is king 👍 I started convexing my blades and never looked back .
@@airiksknifereviews9548 I do think it objectively offers the most advantages.
I love a good convex edge , its the best grind in my opinion. I reprofiled my Tops Tanimboca Puukko and put a convex on it now its an amzing blade. Thats a nice looking blade...I cant stand sweeping points for that very reason.
@@airiksknifereviews9548 that’s awesome you augmented the grind on your knives, what did you use to do that? Thanks for the comment!
Your convex edges seem to make much better cutters. I have several scandi grind knives for work and I gave them convex grinds about two thirds up the blade and they cut much better. I'll have to do this with more of my knives.
@@darylbrenton4839 yeah its interesting how it works. I always picture the bow of a boat “cutting” through the water. That shape displaces the water in such a way that allows the ship to travel through the water with the least resistance. The same convex shape is apparent in animals that have to resist currents also, like muscles or clams. In fact I believe the word for convex grind in Japanese is “hamagari” which is the word for clam shell…..think I head Lynn Thompson say that on one of his old Proof videos like back in ‘08. Anyway I believe it’s the best shape for cutting through a material with minimal resistance, as the material is directed away from the blade rather than rubbing up against the side of the blade. Super cool you converted your scandis , what did you use to do that? Thanks for the interaction and the comments I appreciate it!
It is interesting just how easy maintaining a carbon blade is. Thank you for this.
@@darylbrenton4839 Yeah it’s really not that much work. I think people get way too concerned about rust, water, etc. ALL the old implements were natural materials leather, cotton, steel, and they all got soaked and people just maintained them, it’s as simple as that. Thanks for watching!
That's pretty amazing, my friend.
@@jackm190 thank you Jack! That’s what being raised in the woods will do, haha.
Well explained and not something that is glaringly obvious.
Thanks Daryl, I’m glad it came out clearly. I really appreciate the attention you pay to the videos, thanks so much for the interest and support.
Thank you for the explanation and demonstration of this knife style. It is very enlightening and educational, like all of your videos. It is amazing how much knowledge you have for such a young fellow.
@@darylbrenton4839 thank you, that’s extremely encouraging, I very much appreciate it! I apprenticed under a great blade smith in 2008 and have been reading, forging, testing, and philosophizing since then, so there’s a log of built up stuff I want to say on this channel. It’s amazing to me that you can find a community of people online with the same interests who enjoy this exact sort of thing. Glad you found the channel!
This review changed my mind about tanto designs. I thought they were a gimmick, but maybe its just the cheap one I bought, but they have a lot of utility. Does this one have a convex edge on the 'almost' straight edge?
@@darylbrenton4839 I’m glad! You know I had the same journey, in 2020 I thought to myself, “maybe it’s time to revisit the tanto” I hadn’t used one in a long time and thought they were a gimmick. Once using one at work I found they were extremely helpful in all sorts of situations. Yes this one is convex ground also. All the knives I do will are my special formula for a convex grind…special formula just being the way I do it freehand on the grinder that produces an edge super sharp but also super durable. Thanks so much for your comment and for engaging with the channel!
Is it just me, or are many good knife making channels not getting many likes or comments? Let me congratulate you on producing great quality knives. I tinker making a few knives and I have learnt a lot from your videos, and when I get some time to beat out some new ones, I will try to copy one of your knives. (Imitation is the best form of flattery). You have zeroed down on a really good recipe for working knives, in fact, you have combined several of my favourite features into a formidable weapon/tool. I was wondering if you ever planned to make a video showing the various steps in making a single knife? Something which shows how much time and effort goes into making a custom knife? Then perhaps people wouldn't make irritating comparisons to commercial knives. Kudos for how you handled the previous one. I would order one of your knives if the exchange rate was in my favour, but the Aussie dollar isn't that strong. Keep up the good work and I hope more viewers like, subscribe and comment.
Thanks so much I totally missed this comment! Never even got a notification for it. Thanks so much for your continued interest and support, you’re absolutely right that I’ve found a formula I like and just dedicated to it. Same thing but going deeper for about 16 years now. I would love to make a video like that, I fact I started and never finished one but I plan to work on one like that. I appreciate people who appreciate the workmanship and functionality of the knives more so than the money, we could talk about making something in our price range if you’d like! You can get in contact with me at marsfireforge@gmail.com if you’d like and we can chat more.
That's great to know
I want you to have confidence in the knife! Thanks for the comment.
STOP PLAYING AND REALLY SHOW THAT YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL

Where is the best place to purchase 8oz leather? Looking to make a strop.
@@ToddWilson-c2h www.buckleguy.com/wickett-craig-carving-leather-panels-natural-multiple-sizes-weights/?sku=WC-CRP12X12-45-NAT&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsPCY2-uUhwMVSDUIBR3e5wBqEAQYBCABEgL-SfD_BwE Hey Todd, that is a place to start but you can find cheaper I’m sure. You just want to make sure it’s veg tanned and it doesn’t necessarily have to be 8oz it could be less. You can search for leather “off cuts” and get discounted remnants of leather also. A strop is a great idea, a long clear section of leather with a little mother’s mag polish in the fibers will make your knife MEGA sharp.
Thanks for the tips!
@@Qpid13 so glad they were helpful! Thanks for dropping a comment!
Recurve blade is top...
@@RobertoBarrale-od6kf that’s a great point it’s not just the convex edge in this demonstration the recurve plays a role too.
WOW. Can’t deny this demonstration of the practical difference between just a “sharp edge” and a properly done convex edge… A good knife is a lot more than just sharpened metal! Another good one, Mars Fire.
Thank you!!! That’s it!
Hey bro just discovered your knives, love the convex edge! I don’t have instagram is there another way I could order one from you?
Thanks so much! Yeah just send me an email at marsfireforge@gmail.com and we can get the process rolling. I look forward to talking more!
@@MarsFireForge ok will do thanks bro!
That's got to be one of my favorites!
Thanks for the support Jack, I was thinking of you with the snubbie
Awesome Bowie!!
Thanks! I’d have loved to keep it !

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement
I was fortunate enough to get one of Sean's knives. I absolutely love it. It is my go-to blade. It is now my edc knife. The blade itself and the carry system both fit into my world perfectly.
So honored to have you carry my knife every day, Jack! Thanks!
Having worked with Sean, and seen his blades in action, they are unparalleled in performance. The quality of the blade for the money is unheard of in the knife industry. Best fixed blade you can get your hands on for the money, maybe even ever🫡
Hey thanks Nathan! I can’t see this comment from my MFF page for some reason but I can see it here from my other account. High praise from a guy who’s been in the knife scene for many years, I appreciate it!
Ive been using knives a very long time and have never seen a production knife that would compete with that.
Jess, that’s high praise from you, because I know you’re a regular, long time, and heavy user of blades. Thanks for the feedback!
Hahaha! If the eyelashes intersect it’s OSHA approved
What grit stone/sandpaper do you recommend?
Hey!! When I really doing a thorough sharpen I will do 220, 400, 600, 1000 (and that’s kind of hasty but that’s what I do) 400 would be a good maintaining paper to repair minor dings and also leave a nice sharp edge. Then for the stone use a fine Arkansas stone.
I am the lucky patron this knife was made for, and I kid not when I say I carry it everyday whenever I’m wearing pants. It’s incredibly functional and comfortable - one of the best purchases I’ve made.
Jason! What a blessing to hear, thanks so much. I need to call sometime so we can chat and I get some more feedback on how it’s been treating you!
I love the classic “squint” safety glasses
God gave us eye-lashes before we had a chance to invent safety glasses!
