If your edge is dull it's on a knife anymore.

It shouldn't take an hour to sharpen freehand if your technique is banger.

That thing is a beast!!!!!
keep it up
Sweet I want one!
Thanks for making this video and other videos on Geometry. Too many people refuse to acknowledge Geometry is King!👊💪
Nice! I really want to see what REX-121 is working with.👊👌
That’s right! Cruwear is my favorite steel. Good to see someone put Cruwear through torture testing.👊💪
You are gonna be JACKED! 😅 You have a big frame. Good work BBB. 🫡
I pity the fool...
Sir, your blades are masterpieces
Getting the work in brother 👊🏼
BBB, nice, just real nice. So many ways to sharpen a kitchen knife via wetstones and your method is one of the best imo for a western based residential food prep diet. Can you go sharper, sure, but it's food we are cutting not paper or hair, etc. I have to mention your eulogy on Cliff Stamp (Phd, Rip) what a beauty that was.......thanks. I've listened to it more than once, it is that good.
Ohhhhhh those hands!!! Very nice!!
Man I wish I could have gotten one of these.
G48?
Ya nailed it
Hey how is it going hope all is well and that your doing good ! I just randomly thought about this channel and was wondering what you been up to then i remembered don't you have a design with spyderco coming up soon or was that just the steel collab ?
I deburr on the stones as much as possible, but a letter envelope on a table, or the corner of a hard cardboard box as a strop finishes it nicely.
I'm going to keep it real with you. I had the same experience when I was in your position but what I've learned over time with experience is If that's effective then there is still a wire edge and you will need a fine abrasive on that envelope or cardboard to fully remove that straightened out burr for lasting front end sharpness.
@@FearNoSteel thanks ill use a few passes on a strop with compound from now on
alot of natural raw power, just need better form and punching techniques, should watch some fundamental videos of youtube, they really do help.
Thank you
Thanks to your example of the PM 2 in 15V, my K390s, Rex 45s, 10Vs, S90Vs, and your 15Vs are all now at 13 dps. Thanks for leading the way.
Thank You
@@FearNoSteel After getting at least one of the great steels (Vanax, ZDP-189, Tungsten Carbide, K390, etc), the just about only thing that I can bring myself to get is your 15V on the PM 2s. It's kind of hard to find something else at that level. I'm looking forward to Spyderco's Rex 121 and the other promised presentations of the 15V.
I've watched hundreds of knife videos from all the top UA-camrs. After watching you stab this knife into concrete and seeing the tip survive, I can honestly say I have never been more blown away by a review in my life. THANK YOU!
Thank you
I just got my sage Maxamet to replace the one I lost. The factory edge should hold up a while but I will definitely consider sending to you instead of doing it myself. I have about 100 knives that I sharpen myself but I would rather not mess up my Maxamet.
Thanks, Enjoy the Maxamet
I love this info. What kills me is how hard it's to find kitchen knives in M390, S90v or Magnacut.
Expensive to make
For my Spyderco manix-2 blurple G-10/ S110V I use my 2" × 6" 300, 600 and 1000 grit DMT diamond plates then I move to ceramic rods to clean it up and apply a keen micro bevel. I get good, long lasting edges but not hair whittling even if I strop afterwards. Any suggestions?
Dump all that stuff, get a metallic bonded stone 40/28 um cBN, cut your bevels and deburr, skip the microbevel and use gunny juice 1um diamond emulsion on cowhide leather to strop.
@@FearNoSteel - got it. So thin the bur on the stones at the original angle and remove it on strops? I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
I wouldve got modern bowie
VANAX is my favourite _steel,_ but CruWear is my favourite EDC steel and what i'd choose if i could only get one steel option on every knife i buy.
Those are good choices. I recommend giving MagnaCut a try also.
Soooo nice how you sharpen 👍
Thank you
Is that Sonny from “seal team” ?
none of the tests here is related to toughness
God i love the sound of it

Agree 100%. I love my Police 4 K390, except for the blue FRN scales. Did you get replacement scales or is that a sprint run? Please tell me where to get scales like that. Thanks!
The more expensive g10 model was before the FRN model, it's unfortunately no longer in production.
If you use your knife as a hammer, axe, or prybar, hardness is important. I use mine to cut things, and so relatively soft cast metal rich in hard carbides has the most aggressive cutting edge (it’s like having micro-serrations) and is the easiest to sharpen. EDC knives made of super hard alloys are a pain in the butt.
To each his own, thanks for sharing.
Thanks professor. The obvious for educated eyes is lost on most of us and is explained by you very well. For example the difference in hardness from the spine to the edge. Is Scratch testing the preferred method for the edge? Or is there another method that you can recommend?
I wish you were my neighbor Id hv no choice but to move in and make knives with you 24/7! 😂
Hell yeah a true badass! Love this
So i've reached the steel memes stage of this hobby, it would seem 😄
❤️ANAX
im buying that shit i was considering the bark river puukko but the heat treatment on that M4 is just too good!
What leather strop or wood type would you recommend using with that 1 micron solution? Thanks for another good vid.
Interesting vid!! I've been looking at these. The prices here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.. CS srk in sk5 steel about €.50,-- The A1 about 4 to 5 times that, and the A1pro nearly 10 times that.. I have the sk5 version, but am looking for an upgrade. But man, are these knives expensive.. Thanks for this little test, it's very informative 👍 Greets, TW.
So uhhh. Can i have some steak plz lol
Not true because i got some screws from spyderco no prob. Maybe a different time or something i dont know but they sent them to me no charge!
I bought your 15v in the pm2. I also want this knife so bad with the g10. I can't find it with the g10, even on eBay. 😭
Much sharper if switch your angles around doing 20 on sides and 15 on tip i do 12 on my very edges and you can test it numbers don't lie
Can you do a video where you describe the feeling the knife and stone give you when you are over, under or on angle?
How often does a saw like this need to be sharpened? Would it make a couple more cuts like that or need a sharpening after just that cut?
I'm not a fan of Dan Keffler.
Truly enjoyed the video, even though I winced a bit as you were killing the knife’s edge on the belt sander. Lol I know I’m late to this vid, but might you share what sharpening stone and grit you are using? I saw the company name on the stone’s base, and with some searches, it seems like the Gokumyo , possibly a 15K? Just basing off of coloration that seems to match an ad. Thanks again in advance. Lee
Blah
How can I contact you about sharpening my Maxamet Para 3?
Big Brown Bear, you're a good man, and thorough.
This is old, but my Smooth G10 grips are so damn slick. It's a user knife and in the SW Florida Heat and Humidity this is constantly slipping on me. Have to look for better options.
