Cutting a rope is very specific as a test of the cutting edge. Sailors for example used not polished blades to keep the scabbard rough. The test is incorrect because only one material was cut (1), the knives were not previously tested for sharpness (2), the cutting "pad" was the same, fine particles can get stuck (3).

Greetings from Bulgaria! I would like to add few things about the seels of those knives. After that you may want to redo the tests with those very same knives. Here's why: 1) Mora uses 12c27 on most of their stainless knives and UHB-20c on the carbon blades. The latter is widely accepted to be one of the very good HC steels. 2) Bahco knives use 12c27 for stainless blades that are made in Sweden. The ones made in China use may be using Japanese AUS-8 or their own equivalent 8cr13MoV. This could explain the cutting difference, since AUS-8 is widely regarded as the better steel when compared to the 12c27. So, now that we know wich blade is made from what steel, here is a possible explaination on why we saw what we saw in this video: - during manufacturing, the bades might have been overheated especially when polished. Mora polishes their blades to a mirror finish. A possible solution to the overheating problem might be resharpening the blades. It might take few resharpening sessions, but after each session the knives should stay sharp for a longer period of usage until they reach their maximum potential. - IF I am wrong on the blade steel of the Chinese made Bahco knives and resharpening the Mora blades gives better results then I would guess Chinese blades are made from 5cr13 steel which in theory at least can explain the weaker result. Hopefuly my comment will bring some clarity on those results. Cheers!

Hultafors rebranded for Bahco is what you have there. . You'll also find Mora knives rebranded for Bahco knives.

great video, I can't wait for the sequel

Glad you like it. Sequel is coming.

[@yfailab7222]

Great video, I'm surprised with the results too, great to know that

[@dplusa]

I'm going to measure hardness on them, now I am very curious what cose this results

[@nikolazaric6764]

Great idea to rank different knives in terms of how they hold the edge

[@dplusa]

Thanks, glad you like it

[@Superbus753]

You can go to Cedric and Aida channel he is doing this since many years

[@nikolazaric6764]

@@Superbus753 Yes I saw but he uses thin string for testing. I think a thicker rope engages more of the blade and the geometry of the knife plays a significant role not just the material. I certainly look at several tests from different sources and compare the results, the truth is somewhere in between

[@tohtorisykero2013]

good video. were these blades all 2mm thicker than the Mora 511

[@dplusa]

Thank you, glad you like it. No it's not that big of a difference between them, 0,5mm at most.

[@tohtorisykero2013]

@@dplusa did these knives have a micro bevel or a pure scandi grind?

[@dplusa]

@@tohtorisykero2013 no micro bevel, zero scandy grind on all of them.

[@agbl1195]

We can say the Bahco 1446 is the best ??

[@dplusa]

For now it holds an edge better than others. Planning to do some super steels next.

@@agbl1195 Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to try it, but it seems like an excellent knife. Mora is one of the companies that does not make bad knives.🙂

@@agbl1195 You are welcome 👍I did not have time to sharpen any of knives used on this test

[@lekler80]

What is the price of Chinese bahco and what on swedes knifes.

[@dplusa]

Bahco 1446 around 10 eur , 2444 around 12 and mora i think around 14 . But those prices vary depending on the country and the store where they are sold, but the ratio is roughly like this, with a difference of 2 euros

[@susanp.collins7834]

Here in South Africa the Swedish Bahco (the 2444) retails at our local agricultural outlet for R289.

[@2Snakes]

Bahco 2444 could cut more still.

[@randallbollinger9625]

Most(all?) moras come with a hollow grind from the factory. Most knife testers will put a new edge on and end up getting double, or more, the number of original cuts.

[@dplusa]

Yes, all Mora knives are hollow ground. They are ground on large grinding wheels over a meter in diameter. That's why I re-sharpened each knife before the test, but I couldn't remove a significant amount of material, that would be a rework.

[@ElektroMoog]

Guys... Mora hollow grind?? What do you mean hollow gring? All Mora's are scandi grind... and scandi grind can have true scandi or scandi-vex.. what you guys are talking about hollow grind??

[@alliswell-pb9vo]

@@ElektroMoog slightly concave instead of perfectly flat, since they are put onto abrasive wheels of large diameter so they are not completely flat

[@chavaledeni]

I have tested Companion, Companion HD, Kansbol, Eldris and Garberg and they are scandi. They are not true scandi they have secondary bevel but it is flat it is not hollow grind.
