    I am going to get one being a Beckerhead myself. Thanks for showing and reviewing. Obviously, the knife was not created to be a shooting target. It passed all the other tests quite well. First and foremost is the total integrity of the knife and could you depend on it with your life. Based on what I have seen, the answer is yes. The knife is a real beast, not a fake one !

      I've seen AR 500 armor plate that can't stand up to extended rifle shots. One of the major tests for a pressure vessel like a pressurized tank is an impact test at low temperature. There are many steels that can't handle low temp impact tests.
      Knives are not really designed to be heavily impacted an a regular basis.....

      Yep, and ESEE themselves do not trust their s35vn knives, they feel it is inferior to their 1095 knives. It is, because s35vn is pocket knife steel, not survival knife steel. It breaks before it bends.

      @@tacticalcenter8658 No, most steels that are hardened above 58 hrc do. 420HC is much stronger than S35VN. Would rather have a survival knife in 420HC or 1095 than S35VN. Would rather edc S35VN. Different materials different jobs, one is not all around better than the other. When you put pocket knife steel on a survival knife, you are making an inferior survival knife. The only reason ESEE uses S35VN is market demand from people who don’t understand their knives and think they need some sort of “premium” steel. 1095 is the premium steel on a survival knife, not s35vn.

    • @marty1685
      @marty1685 Год назад +3

      Even ESEE considers S35VN a downgrade from 1095 on survival knives:
      Message from the owners of ESEE Knives:
      While we offer the exact same warranty on S35V as the rest of our line, we do not suggest the ESEE-3 S35V as a hard-use outdoor knife. These knives are hardened at the optimal 59-60 Rc. Its ability to take abuse is not even close to our ESEE-3 1095 models. The only reason we produced this model is due to the request of our customer base - not because it’s something the ESEE crew would carry or trust their life to. In our opinion, what you gain with such a premium steel in edge-holding and stain resistance does not justify the extra cost. Not to mention its inability to take the abuse that our regular knives are capable of.

    As a survival knife, I will stick with my 1095 and 80crV2 carbon steels because of toughness and ease of sharpening. Cpm and super steels are designed for specific uses not general use. I've been a machinist for 31 years and machined lots of cpm 3,9,10V, T420,T440, D2, Elmax and different grades of stainless. A lot of knife manufacturers make knives out of so called super steels for a sales gimmick but, don't have much experience in heat treating them steels. Great content as always...👍

      As a long time vet, I can tell people that my issued Kabar knives and seal pup knives all survived pretty much everything I could throw at them. To include a couple of times actually being used as a pry bar! The 1095 and AUS8 were also very easy to resharpen in the field. These new steels are awesome, and it's up to you to decide what you intend to do with your knife. If my properly heat treated 1095 steel and AUS8 steel knives could handle military use, all these other knives should be able too also. The key point for all steels is the heat treatment. Otherwise, your improperly heat treated sv35n or 3V will be worth less than you paid for it and will probably not perform as well as a lesser steel with good heat treatment!

    If they made an S35V BK7.... actually, please don't because I can't afford it. Oh and sheath thing boggles the mind. They should have at least included a Tek-lok or something.

    Hi guys, I am not sure, if S35V is worth an upgrade for a knife which is mainly used for chopping or buttoning. Why do you put that much focus on edge retention for a chopper? A chopper must be at first place very tough and should not chip and for this purpose the 1095 steel is absolutely the right choice for that kind of knife. The S35V is a nice marketing for selling more knives 😊

    Well since big ass knives are somewhat used for a bit of hard use and sometimes chopping but not to the extent of axes. There is a reason why choppers like axes have a lower level of HRC than knives. Some averages to as low as 50 hrc. So Im not surprised that even with a super steel and a stainless no less got chipped. The average hrc for a super steel is gonna be on the level at the least of 58-59 HRC. Its still a great knife if used properly and not used as a throwing knife or chopping near lots of rubble. Love you guys.

    @marcusott5054 Год назад

    For the kind of resistance to abuse that was needed there the knife in general needs to be softer, made from a steel that is more suited to take abuse. I would probably consider 3V the most suitable. S35VN is a great steel still, but more suited to knives that won't see this kind of abuse.
    ESEE's S35VN knives are probably in the same league?

    Everywhere on the tube when Kabar is an item, it's about Beckers. Great knives, but I really think the Kabar Turoks deserve some love too..
    Hint .. Hint.. :-)
    Edit :
    Hmpf .. for big hands the handle is no good. It tappers down at the pinky end, creating one BIG hotspot !

    Should have went with 3V or cruwear instead of s35vn. Would have the same wear resistance but much higher toughness. BK2 is a knife that made for thumping, not cutting.
