3v is good, but it's pretty hard to argue against magnacut. Magnacut isn't going to be noticeably brittle compared to 3v. The whole purpose magnacut was produced was so it would be tough, rust resistant, and great at holding its edge. And magnacut is a lot more rust resistant than 3v. Spiderco is even using magnacut in their salt series.

The thing is it's more brittle but you won't notice. If you are in a situation you break or badly clip the Magnucut you are simply using the knife wrong..and in such a bad situation a knife didn't going to help you. Where it lacks in toughness (that you won't need ever) it makes for with rust resistance. Even in a survival situation rarely will be pushing a knife to the point you need 3v because your life depends on it, if you do, you are dead anyway so the knife won't matter
I believe stone, bronze and iron knives are obsolete, although I wouldn’t mind owning a flint knife. I always chuckle when people talk about obsolescence when talking about knives, if it cuts it’s hardly obsolete, that’s exactly what knives are supposed to do. 🙄
I would love to see a freereign in 3v. I have the aus 10 version as well as the 3v srk and like them both well enough. I also agree with you on the freereign grip being more secure.
@@stefanlauster4877 it’s a softer type that is more spongy than the srk. Still nice and grippy. Feels like it might damage it hit through hard use. I still like it though.
In my opinion the M95 sissipuukko is probably the best competitor to the SRK. I like the design of the Freereign but I think there should be a 6 inch version and a version in 3V. Though considering this knife was intended to be a stainless steel knife Magnacut does make sense. If I could tweak the design, I would make it 6 inches long, Stock thickness in the 5/32 range, and if possible made in 3V.
The goofy huge faux jimping cuts on the Demko are a deal breaker for me, I also favor the longer blade on the SRK , and price wise there's no comparison !
I like the Demko Magna cut version and SRK in CPM 3V is a pretty robust blade 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
+1 on the CPM 3V. Tough but not brittle. Easiest to maintain and gets razor sharp on a strop very easily.

I’ve already chosen and have said so repeatedly. I carry the SRK in CPM 3V.

Hands down Demko Freereign all the way FTW ⚔️🤟👍

Thanks. I like both but prefer the SRKC in the Japan steel (can't remember the name san mai?).

How is the rubber handle on the aus10 ?

In your opinion what is the better overall knife between the demko freereign aus 10 or cold steel master hunter san mai vg 1?
Master Hunter

What happened to the a1 fallkniven?
Great discussion. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
both bow to the bravo 1 in 3v

I like the srk, what is the "sanmai steel" they come in? (spelling??)
Jack London fan?
Of course!
