I just realized, seriously, the knife world just isn't the same without one of your videos. One of the best channels of all time period. Thanks as always for the effort Pete.😃🙏👋

[@tombrown4683]

Professor, agreed !👍

[@nandayane]

Pete is the most credible knife reviewer.

[@quaxenleaf]

I get more from his videos than from the truckloads of others.

[@standardcitizen5948]

Little did you know, all that Magnacut and K390 testing was to prepare you for... 15V.

[@wazzeradk9398]

Another great test Pete! I would really like to see you add another step in your process. Once you test the factory edge, and it no longer cuts paper well, it would be cool to see you strop it and then test it on paper again. Just curious to see how it would react, as this would show us how the knife will perform for the user! Thanks Pete

[@Zaque-TV]

100% great idea

[@willblake72]

A bit of DBK compound would be the thing

[@snowhusk]

I support this idea! I think he also used to do it, I definitely seen him use tormek to strop some knives back in these testing videos

[@bwalsh2]

This video was sponsored by Greater Australian Orthopaedics. Your carpal tunnel specialists since 1997!

[@cavemandanwilder5597]

Never skip forearm day.

[@DullPoints]

2:15 Ooh! Extreme close up! Now THAT'S dedication to quality. Edit- Sheesh your poor arm.

[@arrowheadguys7637]

I got the 15V Manix 2, holy smokes 950 is amaaaaaaaazing.

[@Alexander210]

Came for the steel test. Stayed for Pete's 300 Spartan body workout. 💪💪💪

[@axion8788]

As always, the most enjoyable knife/life channel there is!

[@49giants3]

Jeez Shawn did an amazing job with the heat treatment! Spyderco rocks. Thanks pete

[@Dblnickle]

Hey pete good to have you back .

[@Hungrybird474]

Go Big Brown Bear 👍👊. Great channel for knowledge explained in a way that can be easily understood .

[@saltysmurfyourass]

I'm eagerly waiting for the mule team 15v

[@ssunfish]

So am I!

[@Mastermindyoung14]

I EDC my 15v mule. This thing rocks!

[@SpartanJohns]

14.5 V wouldn't have had the same ring to it! I just did about 30 minutes of thick cardboard cutting with the factory edge after using it for a week for light tasks (vegetables, plastics, cardboard) around the house. I also stropped it back throughout the last week. And it kept coming back however it kept its bite.

[@brianmontana5700]

Always a treat to watch Pete do these tests. He’s the best of the knife world. 15V is the real deal

[@singingtoad]

Glad to see you back making videos again, Pete! Thanks and Cheers!

[@lonestardude6283]

I just searched your videos yesterday hoping for this 15v review, and today, BAM! Love it! I knew it would amaze. I can't wait for your sharpened testing on this!

[@wadejensen3301]

Good to see you back on deck mate!

[@knifetimestory]

Fantastic as always. One of the only channels I watch the entire video on. Great work. Thank you for posting.

[@Mpapic]

That tat is extremely well done! Looks great!

[@JCJCJCJCJCJCJCJCJCJCJC]

Glad to see u back

[@tombrown4683]

Good to see the new tattoo & hear a little about whats going on with you. Always enjoy the canine footage ! Take care of your arm, this type of content is unique to the knife world.

[@perkman2009]

wow so cool cant wait till other test

[@mattyscull5317]

Wooohoooo! I’d love to see a side-by-side with the PM2 maxamet. Thanks for an awesome video. And shout out to the Big Brown Bear. What a heat treatment 💪

[@wattsmichaele]

Amen…i thought Maxamet was alien retention….this S15 might be another alien:)

[@krazmokramer]

Nice tat Pete! Doggos are crazy!

[@geareas]

Awesome test… missed your videos!!!specially the comedic ones.

[@13aphomet]

My 10v pm2 holds an edge forever and this thing kills it. Wow. Love the tests as always.

[@KnifeNinjaEDC]

One of my favorite steel releases. Loving my Pm2 generously gifted by BBB himself and my Manix 2 reground. Takes a thin geometry super well. Glad you got your hand on one, Pete.

[@tooththrhr]

I watched your video on the worksharp field sharpener. I can't wait to get it delivered

[@Bucolick]

Thank you. Looking forward to V-noblade chronicle 2.

[@heavyweightsound]

Great video! The title caught my eye because I recently bought a PM2 Wharncliffe in CTS-XHP from the Cutlery Shoppe. A Black Blade, orange G10 Beauty. I didn't do any rope cutting test but I think it was the sharpest edge I've ever had from a factory. It literally whittled a hair in half carving off a curly q.

[@FartinHolesInMyUndies]

So glad I snagged one of these

[@rickscott4129]

I want to see your tattoo!!…. I really enjoy and appreciate all of your work/testing of all of these steels! Keep up the good work 😁👍🏻😎

[@willblake72]

I am so glad I stayed to the end to see those tussling ruffians, thanks Pete 😂

[@BUBBA1J]

Reaaly enjoy your videos and especially the testing. Very cool!

[@barkingspider2007]

I cut 850 feet of cardboard with the PM2 in 15v... Love the steel. Thanks for the video! : )

[@brianf9619]

Welcome Back Pete .....👍 🖖

[@Heizenberg32]

Welcome back, Pete!

[@jeremyweisinger8655]

Well darn. That's pretty impressive for a factory edge.

[@stevenlachance8576]

Thank you. Pretty sure you have done another 15v a custom if I recall, back in the baby face Pete days. Actually it was the wisdom tooth tongue tie surgery video. That is an absolute classic video.the knive got 1050 cuts.

[@brettfreeman9693]

Another great video. I appreciate your hard work.

[@jamesreese7111]

Always entertaining and informative. Thanks Pete love your videos.

[@mick1turner]

I have a huge issue with your video's. After watching them there is another knife or steel I need to add to my wish list. Thank you again for your excellent work.

[@TyMalhoneson]

OH NO HE'S JACKED !!!!! Great video Pete!

[@Immopimmo]

That tip down clip is UNACCEPTABLE! 🍋

[@rickscott4129]

Watched to the end and you showed us all👌🏻👍🏻

[@dogonmountain6445]

Thanks for the test. Wish there was another medium for testing that would show differentiation between steels but require far few cuts.

[@daniel.rosina]

Very cool steel!

[@MsKatiepeter]

Thanks for the blister ❤

[@isthebeeflol]

Missed your videos and I'm sure you dreaded this test haha !

[@davidshaffer8569]

Always love to watch your videos. Knives or potatoes it doesn’t matter. 😏

[@D00MTR33]

There's actually 18v and 20v but those were never released for use. 20v has 4.4% C (which is insane, beating our 3.75% C of MPL 1/Supracor which is the current champ) and about 20% vanadium. I'm glad we get to experience 15v and thank Spyderco for it. Maybe s125v will be next?

[@EDCandLace]

I doubt s125v will be next from Spydie, Eric said they will be doing rex121 so that's what we can expect the next major sprints to be. A 70-71hrc Rex121 manix 2 has been my dream knife for a couple years now.. hell I offered Transparent blades 700 plus a doner manix 2 to pattern the blade off of to just make me a single 70-71hrc rex121 manix 2 blade and he said he couldn't lol.. I really have my fingers crossed the rex121 release will be in the mule to start and they will do a manix 2 and a pm2 in it and I will be one super happy girl!!! Even happier if Mr Houston is the one who builds up the heat treat protocol for them.

[@D00MTR33]

@@EDCandLace that would be cool as well it's just I want to experience the queen of stainless steel. I had a Ferrum Forge custom in s125v but at the time didn't have the best sharpening equipment and it was the only knife I could not get really sharp. The stones just slid across it as the knife laughed. I had to sell it to raise funds and I've regretted it ever since. Sure x125 doesn't stack up to rex 121 or probably 15v but for stainless steel it's still the peak with only m398 coming close and having a custom at 64hrc I'm really impressed with it. Recently I got one of my grail steels which is Vanadis 10 (I hope the 8%Cr gives it better corrosion resistance than 10v class) at 65hrc so there's only a few more I want to experience. A rex 121 Spyderco would be really great though.

[@Mastermindyoung14]

Thank Shawn Houston for being diligent on the forums talking with Sal for years about getting this steel to market 😉

[@bigaspaulo]

Never get enough of that rough doggy action!

[@Steve_G88]

we missed you bud

[@Yarramen-Yaro]

I read somewhere that these are 65 rockwell.

[@nandayane]

They are.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Spyderco do sharpen under water for some blades on the golden usa line but not all models. Some models will have horrible sharpenings with a machine with chattery edges. Im pretty shure the pm2 is done under water. Really the main reason that 15v does so good is the custom heat treat protocol by Triple B.

[@davidheath2427]

You have got to do the strop test . That would be awesome

[@grbluen]

Cool tat!

[@wattsmichaele]

Excellent young man!!!

[@gaberoo9099]

I had to look up lemongrab...most excellent! Unacceptable!!! And here we were showing the kid Bluey! Lemongrab from now on!

[@BladeLabMiami]

Impressive! In my experience, Spyderco will often do a 15 dps angle on their blades with wear resistant steels. Come to think of it, my Manix 2 in 15v came with a 15 dps edge.

[@BaliBug]

Mine seem to be 13 on one side and 19 on the other lol

[@haveagocommentator983]

I've been breaking down boxes with my pm2 in 15v since it first dropped and I still haven't had to sharpen it. Over 1000s of feet and the edge looks the same.

[@toejamr1]

I grabbed that knife new from a friend that needed money more then that knife. I was going to sell it but now I want to keep it haha.

[@shannondixon9031]

Well there it is..... Finally the answer.... I've often wondered what is was that bought me back to your vids.... I mean the content is A+ And the reactions to faceless A HOLE knife companies is on par.... But it is now clear why missing a Cedric and Ada could be viewed as UNAAAACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!! There maybe an age gap....but your love of quirky animations is without doubt......spot on The knife community must keep this man alive at all costs!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jefferys9593]

Thanks Pete

[@PatDsNutz]

Wish I would’ve got the Manix 2 in 15v. Hopefully one day

[@Ajaxykins]

Man lookin fit and trim, congrats on your exercise success! Maybe include some fish oil and glutamine in your diet for these crazy high number rope cutting tests, avoid tennis/sisal rope elbow haha

[@zero_tolerance245]

Amazing Spyderco Paramilitary 2, if I buy it will be exactly in 10V or 15V!!!

[@c62west]

I love the close-up images. What was the magnification?

[@J85909266]

I watched Adventure Time with my daughter as she was growing up, as well. We had all the DVD sets. Lemongrab is definitely the funniest character.

[@MrSpenceju]

great video

[@mitchstreets]

you should keep a list of results like top gear use to do with their track times with the stig.

[@piperkennard1039]

Awesome brother 👌

[@keithmoylan3093]

Missed your videos. Also it looks like your fly was down the whole time.

[@therevdr128]

Aaaaahhhhh, lemonGRAB. I thought at first you said lemonGRASS, the international signal for swingers.

[@danchansama]

nice tat!!

[@AXEUS111]

Oh Petey, how we've missed thee.

[@EDCandLace]

You got the rope testing and I've been building on card board cut test data on the PM2, manix 2 and shaman 15v models. To say it's impressive is very understated.... it blew rex76 out the water and is giving custom rex121 a serious run for its money and the fine edge holding is absolutely 100% beating everything by a long shot and how long the paper slicing edge will go is absolutely nuts. What I'm most shocked with his just how long it retains the fine edge, on a 1.5 inch section it's going consistently well over 400 liner feet before it stops shaving.

[@EDCandLace]

And to to put it in perspective the longest fine edge/maintaining shaving steel I have tested is custom k390 going 270 feet before it wouldn't shave anymore. All three of the 15v models are going 420 to 460.

[@Puddspanker]

Nice. I just got my 15v shaman recently. A bit late to the party.

[@paullambert4445]

Peter every time is fun. 🔪🎸

[@geraldkoth654]

The factory edge on the 15V Manix that I got was a mess. However, a 14 degree polished edge on Venev Stones. Too sharp. Cut myself twice.

[@GigaChadMob]

Love the tattoo 😂

[@ssunfish]

Hi! Thanks for the video and information! I would have loved to have a Spyderco knife in CPM 15V! Enuff 2! LOL!

[@EDCandLace]

The 15v mule will be dropping here soon. Not the Enuff of course but will give ya a taste of 15v fixie and only 80 bucks... I will definitely 100% but waiting and fighting for my two come drop day!

[@waltburrus657]

Just a thought what if you pushed the rope through a plastic or metal tube straped to a board.

[@littlewoody5539]

Love those pups

[@archivist17]

Olympian efforts!

[@49giants3]

Nice tattoo my friend

[@kenhofer2702]

What degree do you sharpen the pm2 at ?

[@eugenesukh226]

Pete, curious how many feet of rope you go through a year?

[@gordonstevenson535]

Waiting to see the tattoo, guessing Hello Kitty tattoo.

[@InGratitudeIam]

Interesting test. That obviously took a lot out of you. When you started the test, was your fly all the way up? Had that edge lasted any longer, that could have been catastrophic, if you know what I mean. Thank goodness for small things. :))

[@mikey52034]

how that rope company hasn"t sponsored you yet boggles my mind. lol😂

[@aintwhatitaint8626]

After the origin story, Simon Petrikov, before or after the crown is my favorite character, cant hate on lemon grab tho.. Thatd be unnacceptaboooool!

[@Lenduya]

Will you add this 15V to the Steel Comparison Ratings?

[@A.J.Collins]

11:25 XYZ PDQ Glad the mouse stayed in the house. lol

[@baileymoto]

How does it compare to maxamet?

[@Mo.89.]

That hotness analogy 😂 15V is the Jennifer Aniston of steels

[@ciderandthorazine]

nice ink! and indeed, that is a highly unacceptable part of the body to receive a sudden bulldog clip.

[@mikececconi2677]

Now I want Twisted Sisal Rope branded by the old hair metal band Twisted Sister.

[@ssunfish]

Yeah! Singing " under the blade"!

[@YPEDC]

I wonder if you’ll get carpal tunnel syndrome because of your KZbin channel? All for the views! Love your content man

[@blakewalker7659]

And here I thought the HUSK folks had snuffed you.
