For a small knife, strength is more important than ductility for edge holding. We want resistance to deformation at the edge.

Hey Shawn. Just picked up my 15v shaman from a local knife dealer yesterday. Pulled it from the box and took it to the DMT stones. (factory edge was great, but i love my own edges). You guys really came up with something epic. I thought it was going to be a nightmare to sharpen, but honestly, it sharpens easier than s90v. And man that edge gets crispy. I almost didn't get the knife because the nay sayers claiming the extreme wear resistance won't be worth it, but once word spreads how your heat treat responds to sharpening, they will definitely change their minds. Epic 🔪

literally any steel over low 60's hrc ain't gonna roll with how thick all the edc bro knives are behind the edge. as far as edge failure, yeah good luck with that. this is not a tough steel. light use only. smashing into wood looks cool but like most of his demos its basically designed to trick "end users" which he looks down on, which I understand, they're dumb, needy and annoying. you can slam any steel it into wood all you want. cutting boards are made of wood for a reason. it does nothing. just give a gentle little touch of that edge to something actually hard like steel or glass rim and see what occurs. your edge is toast. I see zero rational benefit of using any steel above k390 or 10v in terms of "edge retention." You will lose much needed toughness for extra edge retention when k390 already has more than enough for any use imaginable. Makes very little logical sense to me. but it is cool. and for light use. it's fine.

Agreed more people need a good explanation of it Shaun. Most people don't realize just how important high strength is in knives. Imo more important than toughness and many other attributes. Unless your using your knife like a hammer or like to bend the blade back and forth like a re re after stabbing it deep into stuff but what is the purpose of that get a pry bar they're cheaper.

@FearNoSteel Жыл бұрын
Higher likelyhood of rolling at the edge with this geometry, S30V has lower HRC and more RA.
@OttoVonChriek Жыл бұрын
@@FearNoSteel I disagree that there is more RA in cpm s30v. It depends on the austenitizing temperature, type of tempering, and use of cryo-treatment. As if cpm 15 v can't have more than 20% RA? The cpm 30v has enough hardness to not deform when chopping soft wood. This test looks spectacular, but most likely any steel with a hardness of 58-59.HRc will pass.
@FearNoSteel Жыл бұрын
No, review your metallurgy, there will inherently be more RA regardless due to more Cr in solution with S30V, it's why you can have similar C in solution to low Cr tool steels but lower AQ hardness. Also, geometry matters, this is at 13dps, when the steel is softer it will have less resilience and be more prone to deformation. We've been through this before.
@OttoVonChriek Жыл бұрын
The s30v and 15v will have about the same amount of RA when quenched to their working hardness. No one will harden 15v to the same hardness as s30v (same amount of carbon in martensite). The s30v will have less carbon in the martensite and therefore lower hardness. With 15v due to less chromium, you can dissolve more carbon in the austenite. But the RA value for all of them will be in the range of 5-15% depending on the chosen heat treatment mode

That’s cause he is still using it like a knife and not a prybar. I admit a ffg with a hole in it ground thinly enough to be a proper knife will snap easily when prying, but under a load that is vertical into the edge it is an incredible strong design and you won’t break it with your bare hands while using it to cut things as shown in this video.
