    I just bought this #002 Cortex XL off someone in the facebook Browns bst page. I was sold supposedly a BNIB condition knife. It sounds like you used it to cut possibly carry? So the edge isn’t going to be fresh and hopefully there isn’t any carry marks on it. I plan on caring it and using it at some point. Probably not ever selling it but I really hope it’s still at least looks like it’s in BNIB.

    At this point I'd rather have your Stout v2 or the vanax knife. I confuse the models constantly. Lol. I can't get past the soft magnacut, at below 62 hrc count me out. I appsolutly think the Cortex XL might beat out my unicorn which is a FSD mini FSD. I'd say the FSD-I but I'm not 100% that the Magnacut was done the same way as the Cortex XL but I'm pretty sure he did the heat treat nice and hard at 63 /64. I know you don't care but people not caring may lead to if it's not broke don't fix it kinda mentality.

    He definitely runs his magnacut at 60-61 hrc. From my experience his magnacut is to soft. Even people that dont use their knives alot want magnacut at 63-64 hrc. Hopefully he runs his steels harder in the future because i really like this knife and would be awesome to have one to go with my fsd-i.

    • @LeftyEDC
      @LeftyEDC  6 месяцев назад +2

      What issues have u had with the fsd-i being 60-61? This thing is super thin so i think its gonna cut for awhile. Talked to Craig about it lastnight and he has his reasons for the heat treat. Until i test it and actually have experience im gonna trust him on it.

    • @slvrnblu
      @slvrnblu 6 месяцев назад +1

      63-64 is too hard, between 61 and 63 and sharpen to 15 degrees per side and you'll have something that keeps it edge longer and less risk of chipping.

    • @chriswebb3018
      @chriswebb3018 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@LeftyEDC I paid 1k from Craig for a fsd-i #311 and the edge from him was terrible and have sharpened it 3 times since at 15° per side. ( I've been free hand sharpening for 20yrs. so yes I can sharpen) While cutting double wall cardboard the edge completely rolls to the point of not being able to be stropped back. During regular use it dulls very fast and constantly have to strop the knife. I own crk, mcnees, Koenig, hmc, DCC, OZ, spyderco, houge, and Gersh blades knives in magnacut and all of them are excellent except the fsd-i. I buy premium knives and except premium quality, I don't see a problem with that. I'm putting my knife # and issues out there only hurting me if I ever chose to resell so why would I lie about what I saying. I'm choosing to share my experience with the knife because had I known before hand I wouldn't of bought the knife. As of now brown knives runs his magnacut to soft and doesn't hold a good edge. I don't care about toughness in my pocket jewelry folding knife, I want it to cut and cut for a long time so I don't need to sharpen it every week and in a yr end up with a folding ice pick.

    • @CloudyShinobi

      Ya, for the premium price he’s charging there really shouldn’t be anything wrong especially something as big as that. Most owners probably never figure that out bc they never cut with it.

      @@toreycasey1214idk he made good points when i asked him about it. So far it cuts amazingly and is super thin.

      ​@@LeftyEDCThis is absolutely the thing people don't understand, you put a nice 15 degree edge on something it's gonna stay sharp longer, so tougher better. I sharpened my m390 knives to 20 or minimum 18 degrees and I end having to sharpen out little chips on them 2 or 3 times while the 3V knife I sharpen to 15 or even 13 degrees is still screaming sharp, not chipped, and I haven't had to bring it anywhere near a stone.
