I agree, about $400 here in the US it is very expensive. Luckily I bought one before the price hike, and it is a great knife. Just getting into LionSteel knives though, seem to be a much better value. What do you use to mirror polish the edge? I am a novice sharpener and would love to become more skilled, starting suggestions? Thanks, you guys have very interesting videos.

Hey while were on the subject. Another great bushcraft knife brand is Esse. I have the Esse 4.. my wife uses it. The only problem it has is its carbon steel and it does rust over time. Its probably sharper than the benchmade and it has the thumb choiles which i like, and the benchmade although it does not have that is still a tank.
@DutchBushcraftKnives8 жыл бұрын
Hey Jay, I had the esee 4. to be honest.. it's the worst knife I ever had. The 55-57 HRC on the 1095 steel is way to soft for a knife that small. It didn't hold an edge in a good edge angle. The angle esee gives the knife from the factory is about 45-50c which is unusable for bushcrafting. here in the netherlands the esee 4 with sheath is about $170,-. no $170,- knife should have 1095 in it. 1095 is a budget steel. However I do have good experiences with 1095-Crro-van from the becker bk2. It was not amazing but it was very decent for the price. I do love the robust feel from esee and the kydex sheath which is very excellent. Hope you don't mind my opinion about the esee haha. I bet I would love the Benchmade a lot though.

Radu Michael Before I say anything, take what I say with a pinch of salt, cause Im a novice in the knife world myself. But I remember reading something somewhere which said that if you make your knife too sharp itll actually dull quicker cause the edge bends or something.
@Kantahh5 жыл бұрын
Radu Michael That is a very interesting remark Michael. I do experience the same effect basically with all my knives. I see all these videos out there and never achieve the edge retention demonstrated. Like you I always wondered what’s the reason. Only lately I experienced it differently with my Extrema Ratio Selvans. After processing a huge pile of wood/bush it still was razor sharp. Interestingly the little brother T4000C with the exact same steel and similar blade shape doesn‘t hold the edge the same way. Meanwhile l think that it is generally a combination of the steel, the factory hardening process, the angle you give to the edge and the level of sharpness you impose. But I would be interested in a more scientific explanation!

Btw, a fat knife isn't necessarily better depending on the knifes use, I found my bark River bravo 1 was really poor at cutting vegetables compared to a kitchen knife because of the blades thickness. Point is, when looking at different knife designs consider all the uses you want it to be capable of or bare in mind its limitations. Sometimes it's better to get two different designs to meet different tasks rather than expecting one knife to do it all well. In Australia we often say a particular type of person is a jack of all trades but master of none, this can also fit some knives.

Cross cutting is far more effective but this will show you the impact resistance and force you can deliver with this knife much better. Cross cutting also wont nearly effect the edge as much as chopping like this. It’s not the show of a bushcraft skill but a test for the knife and steel

I read a science paper on edge sharpness in swords (which I have an interest in) and apparently the actual thickness of the blade doesnt really have much to do with how sharp or how good at cutting a sword is - you would probably think that a thicker blade wouldnt cut aswell etc and I would think that too but actually it turns out that its all about the edge angle of the metal at a near microscopic level and practically speaking about how well it retains that edge. Overall blade thickness only really comes into it for things like slicing in food prep where a thicker blade (over 2mm say) would more likely split a vegetable than slice it... although... who cares right? Many swords are significantly thicker than knives incidentally.
@DutchBushcraftKnives8 жыл бұрын
thanks a lot for the comment! The thickness of the blade and the point where the bevel starts are a factor in what the minimum angle of the apex will be. I think that should also translate to the cutting abilities. I agree on what you say though. These CoS blades seem to get a real thin apex. I think it also depends on the steel. One steel molecules might break off more easily than other stronger bonded steels on the out most microscopic apex. I believe that thickness of a sword also helps to increase weight which is needed for penetration but you would know this best haha. thanks!
@hotsteamypudding8 жыл бұрын
hate youtubes new reply system - it says you replied twice but can only see one sorry. Yeah sword weight (and point of balance) are really important for making sure the edge gets into the target. More so for cutting, less so for thrusting and stabbing. Blade weight is important for parrying too, if its a light sword you'll struggle to knock aside a heavier blade. "The thickness of the blade and the point where the bevel starts are a factor in what the minimum angle of the apex will be" - so the studies etc that I've seen show that (damn, itd be a lot easier if I could show you a diagram) the edge on what you would think are quite thin and sharp looking blades often have - under a microscope - really quite rounded edges (and I don't mean secondary bevels or something - that is way too big a scale - we're talking molecular level here) now they still actually do cut so when I say "rounded" I'm not talking about a blunt edge or something, I'm basically talking about how small a scale you can get to, zooming in on the edge under a microscope, before the edge starts to look rounded... and the difference can be unbelievable really, very sharp knives you can basically keep zooming in on the tip and then zoom in again and you keep seeing that edge - on a knife that seems blunt this edge disappears as soon as you start using it (it collapses immediately upon contact basically) and on a knife that seems sharp its all about its ability to retain that edge. When I talk about edge retention again the scale is tiny, we're not talking like over an afternoon we're talking like over a split second. All I'm saying really is that way more emphasis is placed on the visible macro geometry of a blade than it really deserves - the paper I read made it clear that the primary factor is the micro geometry at the edge and the overall thickness of the blade made almost no real difference. For an example of this in swords - if you look at Katana and other similar japanese swords they're generally really thick blades when compared with most other swords and the edge geometry is really quite steep - they're not acute at all - but they're really really sharp - some of the sharpest swords around - because they hold their edge really well. That isn't entirely why they cut so well but it is a big part of it. A german medieval longsword in comparison is basically blunt - you can run your hand over the edge (despite their thinner blades and sharper visible edge angle) but they still cut quite well when swung with a lot of force. Anyway, hope thats interesting!

you're welcome. I should also mention that - and I'm sure you know this really - that the thickness and macrogeometry of the blade is very important for other reasons like strength and weight and how good at splitting wood and making feather sticks it is etc but in particular its important to how you strop or re-sharpen the blade (and also how they sharpened it at the factory) - so for example a scandi ground blade or flat ground blade with no secondary bevel is significantly easier to strop and resharpen than a blade with a secondary bevel and the result of that is that your scandi or flat ground (like a lot of Bark River blades) seem to be much sharper knives. Typically on knives with secondary bevels (or micro bevels) you strop them all day and you've never actually touched the edge at all, you just polish the bevel line and it looks and feels like you've sharpened it but you havent. Knife makers often put secondary bevels on what they feel to be low quality steel - which is most knives really - even some high end knives have secondary bevels on and the manufacturer does this because they think the steel chips or rolls easily - or more easily than on their better steel knives - and this makes the knifes edge last a little longer. The sad thing with this is that they're just ruining their knives really, they'd be better of without a secondary bevel, modern steel doesnt require microbevels, so when you pay all that extra money for a good steel quality actually what you're paying for is for a knife that doesnt have a micro-bevel - this is why Mora are so damn good, because they just leave off the microbevel and then they laminate cheap steel and it holds up. Even Bark River put microbevels on their high end super 3V steel blades, its crazy.

hotsteamypudding the blade thickness is important for edc tasks like cutting through an apple. When you have something with a 6mm thick spine like a Medford Praetorion you cannot slice the apple up. You need to split it apart. For a sword or a bushcraft knife the thickness isn't important, because you swing the knife/sword most of the time. When you want a good EDC Slicer get one with a thin blade

If the thing you do most with your knives is batoning - maybe what you want is an axe or a saw?
@DutchBushcraftKnives8 жыл бұрын
A saw is great in combination with a batonning knife. I enjoy batonning a lot more than splitting wood with an axe axtually. I love batonning wood next to the fire place. I wouldn't want to be chopping wood in the dark with an axe.
@whynottalklikeapirat8 жыл бұрын
Haha - well I can certainly sympathize with the love part, no argument. Well-being after all is instrumental to survival. I am not sure I am completely on board with the darkness thing. It's very rarely completely dark and if it is I don't know why a knife would be much safer granted you possess muscle memory axe proficiency. Personally I tend to combine a stock classic stock wood handle mora with an indonesian parang I bough ages ago. Not even the jungle kind this one has more of a turnip chopper vibe going. But it's great. The thing is I hardly ever chop or cleave wood. I just find the right sizes and break them into the desired lengths roughly. once the fire is going I'll just gradually burn trunks and big blocks and save the sweat. And if my goal was producing a lot of nice similar size pieces of varying thickness I'd just bring an axe instead of my parang and save the energy and the knife blade.

You cannot see it with the naked eye, but when batoning, when the baton makes contact with the knife spine a laser beam activates and splits the wood. It is solar powered, so no batteries needed. How else could you explain how well it batons? Another great job guys! Thanks.

The factory edge was sharpened in quite a big angle, probably around 30+ degrees. It could easily featherstick and baton but I couldnt help myself giving it a mirror edge haha, I sharpened it to around 25 degrees for my personal likings.

+Gerard Jore wat tof!! Je kan helaas nirt een mes beoordelen op hoe scherp die is want de fabriek slijpt hem eenmalig en dan wordt hij verscheept. Wij persoonlijk slijpen èlk mes dat we krijgen meteen naar onze eigen standaarden want we vinden ze nooit scherp genoeg. We slijpen ze met 400, 1000, 3000 grit naniwa chosera stenen (nu de pro serie geworden) en dan stroppen we het mes met bark river black & white compound. We hebben een paar filmpjes over hoe je een mes slijpt en het is echt zo simpel als dat we het voordoen! Succes en gefeliciteerd met je topmes!

Dank je wel. Ik kan me er nu niet eens mee scheren en dat vind ik toch wel minimaal. Ik wacht nog even het antwoord van Knivesandtools af. Verder vind ik het een heel mooi mes. En mijn keukenmessen zullen scherper geslepen worden om dat ze niet convex geslepen zijn.

The quality of the knife is insane, but the price is also pretty damn insane. Many people could not justify spending that much on it. I wonder though how many years under constant or even often use it would hold up. You should post an update sometime maybe in the next 5 months and show us if it is still a reliable tool in a survival situation.
