According to Spyderco H2 holds an edge better than LC200N when serrated. And according to Larrin Thomas at Steel Nerds H2 wasn’t necessarily intended as an improvement to H1 but was a response to disruptions in Japanese steel manufacturing caused by the pandemic.
Gave my partner a spyderco waterway in Lc200n because she is a bit rough on knives, and she rusted it just from cutting apples for her horse and not cleaning properly 😅 So maybe try the acidity from apples or fruit for corrosion resistance 🤔 next
I’ve seen the metal compounds of other steels that are on the grinding belt that got onto the blade during the satin grinding or during a sharpening may rust before the LC200N does.
@@jameshaulenbeek5931 wiping it dry saves a lot of damage. Try cutting the apple and then just folding the knife and putting it away wet. It won't be good.
Yay Knifelab! I'd love to see an episode on geometry vs blade steel for cutting performance. There's some dingus on reddit who keeps saying he can beat your best rope cut test results with a $1 knife that he's reground.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, Pete. It's really helpful. I was told by a chemical engineer that rust is actually a spore. So, depending on the condition of the metal and the environment, there might be times where rust won't form on a blade as opposed to other times when the rust will go nuts. Thanks again, especially for the PSA on mental health. That's beyond important.
If you really, really want to test rust resistance of a steel, you should try Ferric Chloride. It's a mix of various acids, most prominently Hydrochloric Acid. I use a 1/4 concentration to acid wash knives, and it'll rust s35 in seconds.
BS. Its not even an acid. Its pure ferric chloride crystals FeCl3 dissolved in water. It is a strong oxidizer though. Zero acid, and not a mix of anything.
Heat treatment has a significant impact in the resulting corrosion resistance of the steel, by controlling alloy in solution. A magnacut blade in a spyderco salt knife should exhibit better corrosion resistance thant the TRC knife, given that the heat treatment of the spyderco knife is designed to optimize corrosion resistance.
This is all good stuff Pete . You ve been doing this a while so your input and findings are a value to everyone . I like the lab coat but it really is scientific testing . Thanks for doing this .👍👋🦅
My teacher in primary school used to tell us off for saying “haytch”, made a big deal about it every time. 25 years later and I wouldn’t dare say that to this day.
Returned after 9 hours sleep & a good meal. Was not disappointed. I haven't had issues with rusting knives but all are taken care of after any use in water or potentially corrosive cutting. BTW I live in the humid southeastern United States.
Thanks for the explanation about using the Worksharp. I was thinking you retired the KME. You are fortunate to be living out in the country. Those 3 knives would be stolen the first day they were left outside in my neighborhood. THANKS for the video, Pete!
This comment is a pier review. Piers are useful for mooring seaborne vessel and often provide a good place to fish from. They may occasionally smell funny. 9 out of 10 science stars.
I read somewhere that the rust near the engraved sections of the blades might be from factory tooling contamination left behind during the engraving process.
H2 looks like a perfect steel for Victorinox to upgrade their knives with. Maybe even better corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. And more than twice the edge retention. If they came out with an H2 version of their most popular models, they'd sell a ton of them.
JMO but I run 2 H1 knives (1 fixed, 1 folder) from Spyderco when diving or on the beach. Though i have taken care of them then have seen some austere environments. Never showing any rust. But i learned that edge retention was piss so neither had an EDC use. Thanks for the vid.
Since many people on the forums swear by sharpening H1 at a low grit such as 220 perhaps it would be an interesting test. My experience with H1 is that high grit sharpened knives loose their sharpness noticeably quick.
Hello Cedric, thanks a lot for this corrosion resistance and edge retention test. I knew MagnaCut has very high corrosion resistance, but I was sure it was going to rust more than that in salt water, I'm impressed. It means it is pratically "impossible" to have it rusting under normal conditions. It confirms how great MagnaCut is. As a result of this corrosion + edge retention test, I agree with you that LC200N is a better blade steel than H2 both having very similar corrosion resistance pratically speaking but LC200N having better edge retention. Thus, it's a better blade steel. Thanks again! SV
I believe Japan stopped making H1 altogether due to some sort of COVID related logistical issue. Spyderco helped push for them to start back again and in doing so they took the opportunity to tweak it into H2. That’s my understanding of it anyway.
Can't say I wasn't a smidge disappointed when there wasn't a control 4th knife placed in the torture chamber. Would love to see how a regular stainless steel compare to these "stain-proof" ones.
Knife Steel Nerds (a PhD metallurgist, and the guy who made magnacut originally) has a blog of the same name where he shows a range of stainless steels exposed to corrosive conditions, comparing many different options.
I honestly sincerely wish that LC200n becomes the new normal steel for most knives and replaces S30v and S35VN. H2 can be used for soft steel applications like victorinox and dive knives etc. Magnacut to replace thoughtless 1095 and 3V steels. And vanax to become the premium steel replacing m390. With this the knife industry would have conquered the staining and rust issue overall and HUGE boost to all knife users. It’s me dream for past 10 years. Like if you agree…
Pete will you be reviewing the Stretch 2 XL as a knife, beyond the H2? Really hoping to get your take on the pattern given your extensive experience with both the Stretch 2 and the Police 4.
G'day Pete, perhaps before your time mate, but in the words of Prof. Julius Sumner Miller "why is it so" . He also said; "Whatever work you undertake to do in your lifetime, it is very important that first you have a passion for it - you know, get excited about it - and second, that you have fun with it. That's important. Otherwise, you see, your work becomes nothing but an idle chore. Then, you hate the life you live" Cheers Duke.
They say you can look at your grandpa on your mom‘s side to determine if you’re going to be bald. Mine was bald as a billiard ball. Great thing to look forward to.
Personally i love your videos, but i don't find corrosion or rust resistant steel matters to me. Being 54 a mechanic and a fisherman outdoors person. I find tools used don't rust. Only things i find that rust or corrosive are stuff that gets mistreated. I personally believe these steels are for people that don't use their stuff. So maintaining it doesn't matter. 14c28n is about as rust resistant as i need. Living on the beach in Florida in DaytonaBeach. Ive carried xhp and Aus10 for years they look like new. But hey the marketing says everyone needs the latest and most expensive.
from what i hear. h1/2 does EXPONENTIALLY better in edge retention when taken super thin and left at VERY coarse grit, like 300-400 grit at most. all steels benefit from low edges, but h2 can actually handle ridiculously thin edges like under 12 DPS thin.
Matches my experience with a Magnacut chefs knife. Got a couple of black pits from damp salt spots left unwashed on the kitchen counter overnight. Shame on me.
Spyderco claim that the manufacturer of the H1 could not produce any more for them so they went with a slightly different formula which behaves almost the same.
Yes. Would also really like to hear what Niagara and Crucible have to say about it, as well as the numerous other makers who are producing large volumes of knives in Magnacut. I have an EDC-4 in Magnacut and it’s terrific. I hope all parties can figure out how to get more of these into people’s hands.
I'd be more interested to hear from other knife manufacturers than Pete (since he's not a knife maker) or steel manufacturers. Survive(!) has sus business practices and I wonder if they are making a big deal out of normal defect rates as an excuse for so many people out there who have paid preorders unfulfilled for years now.
I work as an engineer that scales manufacturing processes. From what it looks like to me, Survive made a couple prototypes instead of a full pilot run of the knives then priced out knives for unlimited pre-order. Because they didn’t do a large run, they didn’t have an accurate scrap rate to price into their pre-order. which potentially destroyed their profit margin on the knives. Before you price out a product normally you have done a large run with the materials to iron out any problems or price them in. Instead of eating the scrap cost they sat on their hands telling crucible and Niagara to pay for it, and they can’t return people’s money because they spent it already. Introducing a new material to mass production is difficult. I see the problem with Survive knives as a managment problem not a materials problem.
@@nandayanethat’s really interesting. Thanks for the perspective. One thing that sticks out still is the difference they’re seeing between CPM and Böhler-Uddeholm materials. Far less (no?) scrap with the latter it appears.
Going bald is an awful thing for a man. I think it’s even worse for a woman😂 The way you expressed how you feel about it cracked me up Pete. Thanks for the video sir👍🏻
Good Lord Pete, you are such a dork/nerd (but in a good way) that it's impressive. I used to use your vids to show my wife that I wasn't a completely hopeless knife nerd before she passed. It got me a slight pass and let me purchase a few extra knives. I was wondering, I don't see you using the KME very much anymore, would you recommend an upgrade from the KME to the TS Prof? I've been pretty happy with the KME just so long as the blade is winkie length or shorter but for long knives it isn't up to the job. I bought a Creely Mako based upon your recommendation and was lucky enough to get it in magnacut. Hate to admit to being a fanboi of anything but I love this knife and this steel. I have a small ranch in the four corners of SW US and have carried this blade daily for similar uses to what I see in your vids for a year now. I've only had to strop the blade twice after a year of daily use, getting close to another strop. I keep recommending it to anyone who'll listen. It's not the only blade that I use but it's the most used. They make hats for the ding. It shuts people up and prevents the big C. I've only just started getting the thinning in my late 50's, thanks to the offspring for point it out (that's why we have wills), but I've worn an aussie outback style hat since the 80's when in the sun.
Did the H2 Spyderco have any rusting or browning on the inside? Do you know if there is a way to get rid of the markings? Since those seem to rust? I'm debating whether or not to get one but I do not want ANY rust anywhere on or inside the folder.
Hi Pete thanks for another great review. I would be interested to see what impact corrosion has on the edge retention. I have a h1 knife from Japan and left it in a wetlocker in my yacht for two years, I actually couldn't find it. When I found it everything in the bucket it was in was corroded away. Large fish hooks were completely gone. However I could still shave with the h1 knife. By the way if you are bored with one of your magnacut mules I'm still keen!!! 😊😊😊
Would love to see Uncle Randy sharpen a buck 110 on a ceramic mug and rope test it in the knife lab 😁
Why??? We already know it will go at least 10,000 cuts. The Buck 110/112 set the bar for edge retention.🏆
I've seen Buck knives be sharpened with a literal river rock, and then the stropping with fine mud on a flat-ish piece of bark. Shaving sharp, btw.
@@theKashConnoisseurI've done this exact thing with a buck I found while camping. The apex was approximately a flat blade screwdriver when I started.
@@krazmokramerthe buck 110 set the bar for edge retention? 😂, when's was that 80 years ago, it's a garbage steel
About 50 cuts, like all other 420 garbage

Interesting. Magnacut had much less rust than I could imagine.
Great tests! Might you try tests with fruit acids such as cutting an apple and not cleaning it up, and maybe other food acids?
They switched to H2 because H1 was not manufactured and supplied consistently. H2 is extremely similar.
You should have put a carbon steel blade in a separate container with the same salt water setup as a control.
