Howdy neighbor to the North. I’m so happy I’ve never bought a knife from Montana Knife Company. $300 and it has a burr on it, no way. Your videos on them have solidified my opinion on them. You’re awesome

Digging your Wallet…. Really cool “E” !!!! ❤️👍

Great stuff Erica. I have my opinions on MKC, and I think we’re on the same page. Now the other knifes your showing now were talking !!!!

👍🍻

Not gonna lie, when you showed that Baby Moon I may have started drooling a little bit😆They are killing it! Thanks for the update, E!

I think MKC is trying to advertise their edges as being “toothy”. Instead with poor execution they are sending out edges with a burr. You’ve demonstrated before that certain steels perform better with toothy edges. I just wonder if they are using some truth as excuse? As for the Delica I’m wondering if Seki or Spyderco has altered their heat treat protocol since 2 years ago when you had their Cruwear. Maybe the issue with the Cruwear then has made them better able to do PD1 micro melt?

Obviously supply of MKC knives is low, but I’m 100% sure the one I had came de-burred. You’ve obviously had the opportunity to test many spydies and BMs… wondering if you happened to get a lemon with this MKC? I know it’s very unpractical to ask you to test multiple MKC’s, but I’m not sure 1 test subject is enough to condemn them to they don’t de-burr. I’m familiar with the video of Josh smith sharpening and quasi saying to leave a “little burr” on. The way I interpreted it was he was explaining things as simple as possible to mainly non-knife experts. I believe he was trying to make sure people don’t over do it and lose the toothy edge. They also have a lifetime warranty and sharpening program. Be interested to see how it comes back if you send it in telling them you believe you received a non de-burred knife. Also I know most spyderco’s aren’t $300 but they are $200, and benchmade’s are typically $200 easy and many are in the $300 range, but we don’t completely obliterate them when we get a not perfect factory edge. We always say “sometimes they come burnt from belt sharpener, and it takes 2-3 sharpening’s to get to good steel, but that’s typical/expected…” I know de-burring is different, but at the end of the day what matters most is if the geometry is good and the heat treat is good. Most people put their own edges on anyway. I hope you eventually sharpen it and give it a couple of uses after that. That’s what I really want to know about.

I'm sorry, but every time you show that Montana Knife Co .... thing... It's disgusting. They should be ashamed. And yet just a few changes (and a proper sharpening that isn't done by the same people that sharpen for Case) it could be a decent little knife.

What about a Spyderco Chief?

😊 I like the way you talk...100

My Manix 2XL in CRUWEAR is holding its factory edge very well. I haven't used it much, so maybe in a year, I'll see if it's still shaving my arm hair. I don't have a knife in CPM-154. I don't know if I ever will with Crucible taking a dump. Yep, the bifold wallet looks cool. Thanks Erica

Man for $300, that MKC knife is kind of garbage. That micro melt Delica is cool. The steel name reminds me of grilled cheese. And now I’m hungry.

Second!

Lol I just finished the first video now this one is out and first?

Love my 940

Great hat and great beer.

Ontario rat 1.5 64 Rockwell Magnacut

This still your 1 and done folder Erica?

Appreciate the shoutout! I love that you don’t skip the hard parts. Watching you work through each stage in real time makes sharpening much less intimidating. Awesome video!

That knife makes my eyebrow raise. It has more red flags than my ex! I’m excited to see how testing goes

This is my favorite GEC. The cattle knife. It’s so beautiful. If I could ever own one GEC it would definitely be this one.

The wild hair !

Mom doesn’t invite MKC to dinner, so take that for what it’s worth

Kizer as a whole is a great company. They make excellent knifes, generally. I have a feeling that the one that broke in that video (which I did see) was a dud/lemon. It can happen. I'm still very tempted to get one and test batoning it, I'd bet dollars to donuts that it won't break. I've seen many videos of people batoning small kizer knives and they had no issues. However, the part where you claim they don't have the capability to heat treat things correctly "over there" is absolutely ridiculous and not grounded in fact.

Ya your right about MKC there doesn't seem to be much talk of them online in the knife community, other than the non knife people they influenced. A bit odd considering they do drops and presumably sell out often if you see whats available on their website. I don't like they often put coatings on their blades, I could understand if they were using a steel very prone to rust, but it's often Magnacut which takes harsh conditions without rust generally. It especially makes no sense in their cheff knife line in my opinion, chefs knives should be non coated. No one needs bits of cerakote in their food.

I’ve found pretty much same, s45 will take a better ultra fine edge than s35 however it does best with a medium grit so it doesn’t glass out, however with the right heat treatment it has potential to do a lot better with a finer edge as long as angle is on lower side. Most imho should stick around 600 to 1200 grit

I have had my Classic for almost 24 years. Still one of my favorite knives.

Is that the “steel grey” coating on the m4?

I have a spyderco ark, fantastic little neck knife 😊

I know this may not work for you but my heart feels everything you say! Can I ask why you don’t monetize this channel? Looks like you have a great following!!

All three of those knives look AMAZING!!! Thanks for the very informative information/education!! Great job!

Informative, thanks. Glad i ordered a g10 para3 in 15v even though i already had one in s45vn. I've been eyeballing the yojumbo and manix2 lw both in 15v from the reveal 17.

Nice video, nice knife!

Woohoo! New test knives 🤘🏼 can’t wait to see some results

i read somewhere, the HT process of magnacut is exacting and that many manufacturers did not follow to the T the protocol for magnacut and thus many of the early batches from diff manufacturers have bad apples

What's your thoughts on smith and son brave it's d2

Are ''The bushcraft boys'' related to the ''Tactical dudes'' and the ''Survival fellas''? 🤣🤣

That first knife you showed was very nice looking!

Great video! I’m excited to see heavy set knives soon.

Ive been into blacksmith/ forge knives thats where im at these days. Just acid washed them, pretty sweet and will out live me.. peace

I have the MKC Marshall.. brought the tip on 1st one they gave me another. Beautiful knife just don't pry with it. I brought it pulling a arrow out... I moved on from mkc

I'm very impressed with mine! I've had it now for 2 weeks?

Thanks for your openness, Erica. God be with you. I pray things are better since this video.

Leaving a burr on the blade to me screams unfinished product

Hey you hit 15k NICE!!

Putting them on my 15v

Excellent

I like to send you a knife
