Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors , hey Peter, hope life is treating you and yours well. I was wondering if you could maybe do some more top 10 videos? Or top 5 whatever lol!, thanx!! Love your videos bro, your killing it!! Question, would cru-wear be good on a survival/camp knife?

[@Thesergeant114]

Greetings from Minnesota where is is -11 degrees Fahrenheit! Nothing to do but watch your videos and stay warm. Love your content. Keep up the good work!

[@edcevo3052]

Ur editing on that vanax is super clean! This video just made my decision on the quietcarry drift! I keep rusting the Cao outta my m390s and well basically every steel I own in 100 degree 100% humidity weather here in the south of the US of A!

[@christapherdane]

You should have every knife guy as a subscriber. The amount of work you put in and show is amazing.

[@cucovermillion369]

Xanax is my favorite.

[@matrix5175]

Your channel rocks man! Thanks for all the tests and great info you've shared on your channel! I love watching and appreciate all the info you've shared!

[@theavidpicker2721]

I love LC200N. It is probably my favorite bladesteel. I am really excited to see the to the max results for it. I'm sure it will surprise you. Keep up the great work Pete!

[@BradGryphonn]

Max test will be a chore, man.

[@bp-hx9ts]

Brad Griffin it will be cool to watch

[@paul_schuette]

I can't tell you enough how happy it makes me that you're doing this testing. Really useful info. Keep up the great work... but rest that arm first.

[@alphaneuron9045]

Thanks. been looking for these results. did you find vanax a little more difficult to sharpen? I did. but, you confirmed my experience, vanax has more edge retention than LC200N. also better rust resistance. but I have not seen it compared head to head with H1 for the "title" in rust resistance. Larin told me both these steels outperform magnacut in rust resistance. but, of the four rust resistant steels, you've shown magnacut has the best edge retention. so, thank you for that.

[@edwardyork4321]

I about spewed Sweet Tea ALL over the room. When U did the coffee 👍 ♥️

[@FearNoSteel]

Thanks Pete for the vid and thanks Colin for knives This was fun to watch. Looks like Vanax (blue handle) was tougher then LC200N, less damage, the bailing wire is nice eh? Less Destructive then a big ass nail but still can see some differences without losing a knife.

[@CedricAda]

Big Brown Bear yeah the z finit had a bigger void in it that the vanax and the 3v which were about on par from my POV. If this was my knife, it would be eating some bolts I reckon hahaha. But trying not to damage in a way that I cant undo heheh

[@FearNoSteel]

so what do you think Pete, is Vanax enough to steal your heart away from LC200N? Would you pay $75 more for the same knife in Vanax?

[@FearNoSteel]

I like that bailing wire test man. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5C3cqqAdraYjdE&lc=UgzeeBREz3ZfHr3DMvZ4AaABAg yeah Vanax is pretty tough at the edge

[@CedricAda]

I think I would. It behaves like M390 but even more stainless!

[@FearNoSteel]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors haha crazy

[@hammerhi]

Bro science has never been more thorough! Looking forward to the corrosion testing, should be interesting

[@boz823]

Wow 680 that's insane. Steels are getting so incredible. Cool video bud

[@ryansgr8]

I like the toughness/impact testing on the fixed blades. These steels look like winners.

[@kevinlawson3981]

Love you're vids. Can you do a test Benchmade 154cm?

[@lucashornbrook78]

uhhhh i can tell you now its garbage. Mine is soft as pudding.

[@BMikeAD]

These steels are absolutely amazing. Its great to see these being pushed to the limits. I'd like to see how Spyderco Byrd bd1 stacks up seeing as I live in Canada and mid to high end knives are expensive let alone something with a premium steel. I can literally buy a crap car and put it on the road for what some of these cost here lol.

[@dooshlerd]

These results are actually pretty awesome considering. I hope we can start to see more usage of LC200N and Vanax in pocket knives in the future!

[@bennettrylan]

Great vid man, Always very informative research! Keep it up brother!!!

[@mistersmith3986]

Awesome video my Bladed Brother. Thanks🗡️

[@markanthonystringfellow3923]

Thanks Pete,especially the 3v test!!! Vanax MMMmmmm

[@7Belial7]

I was thinking, when you do the crazy steel vs metal tests, you could also do a run on a hard surface (no wood), like a not hardened steel. You should get the toughness/ductility of the steels without the kinda random lateral force. I mean later strength is an important characteristic, but it's a bit harder to test correctly on the edge, without specific instruments! Btw, great stuff, love those test videos.

[@ozyrob1]

Pure gold Pete.

[@jacknemo8021]

Live near the ocean, the salty air will rust anything overnight. so the LC200N is king for me.

[@lezliebrian2313]

What is that music from at the start of the video sounds like something from studio Ghibli

[@astrazenica7783]

Short n curly... twisted sissal... In me coffee... Yum Twisted sissal beer?

[@jaylane82]

Love it bro. 👍😎👍 Think I might need one.

[@anthonyp7051]

Many lives will come and go before catching up to your test for the average and even above user.

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Would be fun to try a chinese cleaver made out of these steels made crazy thin like thinner than a cck

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

did you catch a coffee ?? LOL gotta catch them all EXP.1000000

[@markashlock8058]

Pete, is Nitro-V, similar to AEB-L the same thing as Vanex? Great vid! Thanks!!

[@CedricAda]

no vanax has a whole lot more nitrogen and vanadium in it that nitrov. Recipe wise, Nitro V is very similar to 14c28n: Nitro V C: 0.68; *V: 0.079*; Cr: 12.98; Mn: 0.78; N: 0.1098; P: 0.019; S: 0.002; Si: 0.384 14C28N C: 0.62; Cr: 14.00; Mn: 0.60; N: 0.11; P: 0.025; S: 0.010; Si: 0.20;

[@_BLANK_BLANK]

One thing I've learned from these videos is you will never get good results from a work sharp edge. That, and how important good sharpening is.

[@Drvinnieboombatts]

In regards to the ken onion knife sharpener I think that’ it’s hard to get a perfect angle for knives using it

[@Puddspanker]

It's junk for precise edges. And I refuse to use it on my premium knives. I'll use it on machetes, axes, scissor and what not though.

[@Drvinnieboombatts]

@@Puddspanker Absolutely I have made the mistake of sheering off good steel on this crap 😆😆😝😆😝🤣 trying to get a good angle 📐 my cpm 3V, especially my cpm 20cv it really did that one bad 😝😂😝

[@Puddspanker]

@@Drvinnieboombatts yeah trying not to round the tip too.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

To the maxxxxx!!!!! Cant wait!! Thanx peter! Lol

[@dimi7055]

ordering a lab bushcrafter in vanax and rubberized carbon fiber handle! knifeporn.

[@thechugdude]

🤘

[@CedricAda]

🤙🏻

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

More people are talking about your scientific Knife Lab.. yes trial

[@Greenmachine305]

INFI. Steel of the gods. Look it up.

[@CedricAda]

I know about INFI. Its a branded name of a steel called A8 mod. It has .45% carbon, 7.94% chromium 1.37 molybdenum and 0.4% vanadium, and a whole lot of manufacturers mystique from hoardes of fervent fans. It is remarkably tough given its low carbon content, but its absolutely nothing special chemically, and any efforts to test it that dont produce glowing results get screamed down by Busse loyal folk who have thousands of dollars invested in blades made of steel also used on woodchipper blades. I’ve played with a busse and the edge was so darn thick I couldnt reprofile it without lowering the value to the point the person loaning it would have hated me, so I tried to run it through my rope tests in a different way with a pretty unflattering result, got hate mail from Busse guys so am pretty much leaving the stuff alone cos there is a far too loud group of the community just not open to challenge on their viewpoint in any way.

[@Greenmachine305]

@@CedricAda I own enough Busse blades to know that the heat treat is decent (for wood chippers) but the vast majority of blade geometries and ergonomics are amatuer at best and unuseably, incompetently designed at worst. The only reason I even brought it up was because it was purported to have nitrogen in its composition. I completely agree with your assessment. Most Busse owners would be better served by a $5 hatchet.
