    Great vid on this subject.
    Every time I hear these arguments on steels, it take me back to a talk I had with someone. At the end, he said, "every steel has a specific purpose and how you should use it for specific tools."
    I watch channels put knives through more abuse than they would have ever been put under in real situations. In a true survival situation a knife might do anything, but in truth, even the ancient woodsmen carried a variety of tools when in the field (knifes, tomahawks, axes, woodworking tools). Their knives were precious and not meant for things other than cutting the usual things (cordage, meat, small stuff too small for an axe or tomahawk). I doubt most woodsmen of old would have ever abused their blades the way todays woodsmen/bushcrafters do. Just IMO. Take Care and Stay Safe.

    I often hear people say to use the right tool for the job. In most cases what they mean is to use an axe to chop, not a knife. Or to pry with a prybar and not a knife etc. However I see that statement as something deeper and more nuanced. To choose the right tool also mean to choose the right steel for the job, the right grind for the job, the right hardness for the job, the right edge geometry for the job etc. The problem is oftentimes people choosing a knife with the wrong attributes for the use scenario, and then they blame the knife or the steel. I wouldn’t choose 80crv2 if I’m cutting abrasive materials all day long. But I wouldn’t mind having it in a larger outdoors knife that will baton and do small diameter chopping. And I have no problem with it in a sloyd knife or a puukko that will mostly do woodcrafting.

    • @Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors
      @Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors  6 месяцев назад +1

      True
      However 80crv2 isn't necessarily the "wrong" steel for anything.
      Nobody cuts abrasives all day every day and 80crv2 is so easy to strop back that it really doesn't matter much.

      @@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I don’t know if people actually cut large amounts of abrasives during a days work, but many people at least give that impression online. In such a scenario, I can see that other steels than 80crv2 is preferred. But I do agree, harder 80crv2 and a thin geometry I think would work well enough if one is cutting a lot of cardboard for example. And the ease of bringing the edge back speaks in its favor.

      also i was led to believe super steels were as tough overall as the basic high carbon low alloys. seeing a custom maker i follow do a recent test where he snapped knife blanks in a vice showed that 80CRV2 outperformed all the super steels by an insane margin. now thats not the only type of stress/toughness in a steel and maybe its not the most practical test but the results really were not what any1 was expecting. the toughest super steel he used a small like 5 in wrench on but most could be broken by hand. the 80crv2 needed a 15 in wrench to act as an insane amount of leverage and it was still hard to snap. crazy strong stuff blew 3v out of the water in that test

      The knife steel snob in my wants to say no but truthfully it is at least an acceptable steel and with all of the modern honest testing coming to light showing the true performance of cheap steels it actually probably has the potential to be a great steel.
      With that said any knifes ht can be ruined and generally speaking when you are looking at 8cr knives you are looking at ultra mass produced knives so I wouldn't use the steel itself as any indicator of the blades performance but instead the brands reputation.

    Every performance on a steel,you may think you watched on RUclips videos, is 90% edge geometry, heat treatment, how the knife was made, and even more than that believe it or not, how the knife was sharpened. You can have,even up to 100 times better edge retention, if you simply remove the burr properly, after sharpening. There isn't a good heat treatment, or a standard heat treatment, it's all way more complicated than youmight think. Steel, is the LAST thing, you shoud care about on a knife. It's all the other, that matter more. Even if a handle or sheath, is not proper, or simply doesn't fit your needs, you wont use that knife. However, if everything is perfect, no matter what steel it was made of, you WILL use that knife and yo'll be happy. You have to understand, that knives are tools meant for use (the most important ones too) Collecting is something completely different.Unfortunately, most people have fallen in the marketing trap of "Steel" is the most important, when in reallity, it's the opposite. RUclips, is not the best place, to get an opinion about a specific knife or knives in general, because msot RUclipsrs know very little, trying to convince you they are experts. (or you simply take that as granded) Well, humanity is a big mess at the moment, knives just walk the same way,as everything else..
