Benchmade Bailout 3v/Steel Conversation Frame Of Reference

[@Outpost_76]

I'm glad you did this video, I'm not out for any one company just the largest data pool we can gather. That's why I do the edge retention testing and flow up with the hrc and how that relates to the performance.

[@Alumapro23]

Outpost 76 💯 just info. Nothing more, nothing less 👊

[@jackfarmboy]

Not anti-company or steels its all about pro-facts. Good stuff man 👍

[@Alumapro23]

Jack FarmBoy Absolutely! Thanks, man 👊

[@zachstuff]

Keeping it real! Keep it rolling! Makes us all stronger......Bad pun! :)

[@Alumapro23]

Zach’s Stuff Hahaha! 👊

[@davemartel9572]

Thanks for making it so clear that it's not about a company Clint. So very much appreciated. I know there's flack from fanboys, but not all of us view things that way. ALL production companies screw things up quite frequently, another question I would have is, "do they let that happen knowingly". The simplicity of us users getting what we pay for is unprecedented. Thanks again, so very very much for putting yourself out there like you have been. Got your back Clint..💯%🤙🤙👊👊👊

[@jasonthompson8824]

The knife community has taken some great leaps forward as of late. Thanks to this testing and the talking heads informing consumers and exposing production companies both good and bad

[@Alumapro23]

Thanks, man. I hope we can all grow together. 👊

[@jeffstuart6420]

Well said and well done. Thank you for the info and the links. Please keep it up. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!!

[@Alumapro23]

Jeff Stuart Thank you, sir 👊

[@JDStone20]

Great video!

[@Alumapro23]

Jason Daniel Stone Thanks, man 👊

[@anthonywaldrep5982]

Awesome video that reflects exactly how I feel about the knife community!!

[@Alumapro23]

Anthony Waldrep Thanks for the comment and the kind words 👊

[@cainkopczynskie6296]

I think the makers should test the steel of each blade and leave a certificate with the blade they could adjust prices to the quality of treatment or at least make the hrc easier to find and not have to search hard to find

[@mikeysbladeworks1000]

Chuck is a good guy as you are yourself. Thanks for the video man enjoyed it!

[@Alumapro23]

MikeysBladeworks Thanks, man 👊

[@dombond6515]

Hogue coming thru!!!! Guess what I'm getting next?????!!!!!!!!!! That Ritter is looking might fine right about now.

[@timothyallen9495]

Glad to see this type of stuff coming to light. The marketing is what I think got Benchmade caught and called upon in regards to the 3v. I think their answer was very excuse-ish. Don't say tactical and no one would've cared imo. Had they labeled it EDC people would've approached the knive differently. I think you guys are holding them accountable and it'll hopefully change the way companies market to us now that results from real testing are being documented! BRAVO TO YOU ALL!

[@timothyallen9495]

Knife*

[@Alumapro23]

Timothy Allen It is very interesting to me that they said it’s not an “EDC” knife, but it says EDC right on the box.

[@timothyallen9495]

Yeah I think they honestly got caught with their pants down. Like whoops, these s.o.b's ott here really testing our stuff lol.

[@Alumapro23]

Timothy Allen 😂💯👊

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

Wow really amazing knife reviews!!! :D

[@Alumapro23]

OcOmega Shadow Thanks 👊

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

@@Alumapro23 you're very welcome!!! ^^

[@mj1653]

The whole reason I bought this was for the reputation of 3V. Makes me wonder if I can trust the rest of my BMs. Although, this along with their political practices, it may be time to finally drop BM for good.

[@Alumapro23]

MJ In the HRC testing and use that we’ve done, the other steels fair well. The 20cv, like in the Anthem, don’t, but that’s pretty much across the board for all of the 20cv/204p/m390 Knives we’ve tested.

[@carlosmaldonado6200]

Knife consumer report, nice. You should get what you pay for. 👍

[@Alumapro23]

Carlos Maldonado 💯

[@kcbeem123]

Looking forward to the outcome.

[@brianhilligoss]

The burr built up on the bailout is like a foil. At first I thought I had one with a poor heat treatment. Clogs the stones when sharpening. Just a poor decision on bm part. I found it harder to sharpen then m4 because of the softness.

[@Alumapro23]

brian hilligoss Exactly, the explanation makes no sense. Hopefully, the consumers can affect change. 👊

[@glockgaston2922]

Thanks for putting all this great information out!!

[@Alumapro23]

[@mforrest1508]

All production companies have there issues. It’s how they stand behind them that truly matters. I know this is not about benchmade in particular. But they should respond with harder blades and swap the old blades for free. I’m dealing with spyderco warranty right now and it has been terrible. But they still have the opportunity to stand behind there product. That’s all I can really ask for. I don’t do KZbin videos, but if I get screwed by spyderco, spread the word for me 😂. People will NEED to know about this particular issue if they don’t respond accordingly.

[@Alumapro23]

Matthew Forrest I cannot disagree. If you look at the video I did on BM’s response, all I asked for was consideration of what the consumers are asking for. This is also why I’ve backed off of mass produced knives and I’m really focusing in on knives that are high end or even custom. This has really opened my eyes.

[@mforrest1508]

Alchemy_1 if spyderco does me wrong I’ll just stick with midtech. I like the lock and steel options spyderco gives but it’s just crazy. I have found that midtech knives generally have great heat treatments. Most if not all use peters. But most are S35vn 😥. Although hinderer and protec and millet have GREAT S35vn. Very hard. Elmax like performance. Chris reeve is still a little soft 🙄. But still love the company. I’ve had issues and they fix it. Period. The6 stand behind there stuff for sure.

[@Alumapro23]

Matthew Forrest That’s the message that I’ve been pushing as an individual. People need to stop looking at the price and not thinking about what you’re paying for as an entire package. $400 is a lot for a knife, but the continued support pays for itself.

[@mforrest1508]

Alchemy_1 you seem to really like the fire tac huh? I’ve never held one. Are you in the military or ex military? You style of knives kind of makes me think you might be.

[@Alumapro23]

Matthew Forrest No, sir. I’ve never even been in JROTC. I do like the Firetac. It is up there in my rotation of knives.

[@silenthilltim]

This and the info from Luvthemknives is shaking up the game. Nice!

[@dplagany]

I got the "super freak" recently and that m4 steel seams soft. I also have a 940 with s90v and it has not been holding a great edge. I have a 154cm pardue and that knife holds an edge better then them all. The cult of benchmade is absolutely terrible. People lose their mind when I bring it up. I really want to get the 940 and freak tested to have it on paper.

[@Alumapro23]

Danny P If you want hard numbers, email me. I’ll get it tested for you. It probably won’t be for another 2-3 weeks, but I’ll get it tested.

[@overlandedc]

Another KZbin channel tested the m4 on the Super Freek and it was at 63 I believe. Same or close to Spydercos M4

[@Alumapro23]

EDC Gear & Gun Reviews Yes sir. We’re all part of the same group. There have been a few super freaks tested in the group and they’ve all been 62-63. Makes the choice of low 3v HRC even more curious. The guy that does our HRC testing actually EDC’s a super freek.

[@dplagany]

@@Alumapro23 that's good to know. Maybe it is in my head haha. I do have a fixed blade in m4 and I can tell a significant difference. I am still blown away by that 3v though. Thanks for making us aware of all this!

[@Alumapro23]

Danny P M4 is good stuff. Tough, but has more wear resistance. Breaks down to a great aggressive work edge too.

[@nathenwallis5664]

I saw some guys on Facebook talking about the Benchmade Puukko yesterday and they were saying that it was run at the same HRC as the Bailout. I didnt think that was the case, especially after watching the videos BBB put out testing it. Do you know anything about that one?

[@Alumapro23]

Nathen Wallis I do not. I haven’t seen any HRC testing on them. If someone can get me one, I’ll gladly have it tested.

[@misterbaker9728]

Check out OUTDOORS55. He just made a knife in 3v to test it. He broke tip. Don’t know the hrc. It has some good info on the process to make this steel. Keep it up I know you got flack from the fanboys.

[@Alumapro23]

Matt Baker Thanks, man 👊. I’ll check it out.

[@TacticalBunnyCA]

So what you are saying is that you have a blood feud with Benchmade and want us all to jump on the wagon? That bailout is so ugly that cats try to burry it anywhere it is seen in the open!

[@Alumapro23]

TacticalBunnyCA Ughhhhhhhhh....what vid did you watch!?

[@TacticalBunnyCA]

Alchemy_1 just kidding man I should have added some laughing faces 😅🤣😂. Although I will say if someone wants to sell off all of their Bnchmade knives at great discount to thumb their noses at Benchmade then I will support them all the way and I only asked for a link to the list of knives they’re selling.
