Man you need to make sure you do the tests on the same part of the blade that you cut the rope with. But thanks for the video I had been looking forward to this.
@@SPYROSMANTZAKOS I started the test last Sunday but, other than problems with the rubber band, I haven’t seen any results. I’ll probably make a video this Sunday and then just leave both steels in the salt water until I do get results.
@@totesmalotes it would be interesting to see whether H2 demonstrates the same excellent behaviour when tied up with titanium and vanax. Pretty sure it would cause both to rust as h1 did in your previous tests.
@@SPYROSMANTZAKOS I’m interested too. I am going to do a galvanic corrosion test for all the “rust proof metals” I have. But that won’t be until much later in the future.
Spyderco says that H1 improves though work hardening and that sharpening improves this. Maybe if you have sharpened the H1 more than the H2 this is why the H1 cut more.
Hello, from what I remember, the way H1 is work hardened is through compression/deformation not abrasion. I’ve read that abrasion hardens the edge too but when I read into it I was convinced that H1 only hardens when deformed under certain temperatures. Here’s something, check it out if you get the chance: knifesteelnerds.com/2022/06/06/h2-steel-h1-the-sequel/
Your rudimentary cutting test is basically flawed and compromised from the start because you are using dissimilar blades with subtle but significant differences in the geometry of their respective grinds, which is a huge factor.
I don’t know, I think both blades are close enough. I sharpened both of these to about the same angle. I’m not a scientist and this isn’t a CATRA test but this test, in my opinion, does give me some information.
If you just want to know the results skip to 7:45.

No problem. Also noted.
Pete also slices paper a little slower so he can accurately see where the hang ups are.
Once you sharpen the factory edge on the H2 one or two times it should be on par with H1.
Can't wait for the corrosion test
That might be true about resharpening H2. I’ll start the corrosion test this week. It might take some time to see any results but I’m excited too.
@@totesmalotesany updates on the corrosion test?

Have you began the galvanic corrosion of H2 (Vs titanium H1 and vanax)? Can't wait to see the results.
Hello, the H1 vs H2 test is still going. If I don’t get results in a while I’ll just stop the test.
@@totesmalotes so until now you find both to be equally similar?
@@SPYROSMANTZAKOS yeah, so far neither has caused the other to rust. Once I end it I’ll look over both pieces on camera for any signs of rust.
