The 5Cr15MoV steel is very close to 4116 Krup which was the Cold Steel stuff for Roach Bellys, the whole Aliexpress problem is not necessarily the kit quality or price but whether on importing the Border Force think you are an arms dealer, or they don't know what's uk legal or a zombie blade so they open the package, get judgemental and then send the Police round to the address on the package.

The other problem is a mystery heat treat lol. Love your channel btw

@@Butch_Deezlsteakyeah it was a bit of a gamble but one that paid off so happy with that but as you say mate a bit of a gamble thanks for watching 🤙

I have that many bushcraft knives now they might think I am a proper weirdo if the police come round 😂

I was looking for a while at those on Aliexpress and wondering wheather they deserve any attention, but I couldn't find any real feedback about them, from someone with experience in woodcraft, until now. Thank you for posting this! The 5Cr15MoV has a chemical composition of C: 0.45-0.50; V: 0.10; Cr: 14 50-15.00; Mo: 0.60; Mn: 0.40; Fe: the rest by difference (these are all percentages by weight). It is considered the equivalent of the German X50CrMoV15 steel. Typical hardness is between 54-56 HRC. It should be a pretty tough steel and with good corrosion resistance, but for wear resistance and edge holding it lags behind the likes of AUS-8 and 12C27 (which are used in similar knives by Hultafors and Mora).

[@simonh6371]

So Mora and Hultafors would be a better bet I reckon as you can get a fairly decent one in that £9-15 price range.
