You know it’s a good steel when you sound relieved that it no longer cuts.

[@st.justinsballistica]

Haha

[@jeremys8360]

The year is 2032. The latest steel is S420V. It’s begun to talk and move around. We must contain it

[@eachday9538]

Sometimes it takes on the form of a motorcycle cop

[@yankee23a]

No jokes.....thats the stuff that the terminators are made from 😉💀

[@Stahlwerk88]

The jump from SM-100 to T-1000 is a short one.

[@papasauce234]

s440v is a thing apparently, it's far below S90V, S110V

[@daeholm]

Now I'm always going to assume that Pete has no pants on when sharpening or rope cutting.

[@FearNoSteel]

Nice, gotta a few pieces of this stuff. Makes me more motivated to suffer and make a knife out of it.

Make one from rex 121 man)

[@jeffhicks8428]

@@don0giorgio rex121 is a terrible knife steel. only someone with the mind of 8 year old boy watching professional wresting would be like yeah rex121 durr. Try thinking logically for a minute.

[@jeffhicks8428]

@@don0giorgio I'm not even joking. Try thinking logically about what a knife is and what makes a knife useful. Rex121 is not some magic material. there is a reason basically no one is using it. A material that you'd think is boring and not give a second thought to like S30V is a vastly more useful and versatile knife steel.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

Damn bro I'm worried a little bit...the steels are only gonna get better, harder, stronger by your demeanor in this video I'm wondering if that shoulder is going to hold up....maybe you should get like a sports trainer and a crooked dr. You know, like the good people behind the Olympics lol!! All jokes aside, hope your ok mate!!!

Was hard watching you do that. Not fun to see you in pain. Please take care.

"Ah. It's a sweat spot. Fuckin' fantastic." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kevinAuman1]

Holy moly, 650 cuts and i am certain it would keep cutting things for an eternity still just has a bit of a snag on the blade but that may even work itself out if you keep cutting as some steels do with carbide tear out

[@rymic72]

The glass of what appears to be absinthe during the resharpening portion of the video may explain the "trippy" videos as of late 🤔

[@chads9179]

I enjoyed you showing the pain of these tests. You seemed to hope for an earlier demise of the edge.

[@mforrest1508]

I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting it to do that well. I thought S110V with its big dose of niobium would have made the results closer. I think s125 is discontinued. I know it has to come with a soft outer jacket otherwise it would not survive rolling at the foundry. Makers just grind off the jacket when making knives.

[@Liv1ngTheDream]

Take it easy with that shoulder mate, maybe get one of the kids to do it next time?

[@tacticalcenter8658]

You gotta change up your rope so it doesn't take so long and kill you physically. Dutch bushcraft boys and alot of Russians use some thick boat rope seems to take less cuts. Could be idea for these high end super steels. Great video as always! The steel and ht are great. The maker has got to stop copying designs though. Find that off putting.

[@tm1182]

Only problem is if he changes the constant in the equation then there is no basis of comparison

[@freestatefellow]

I second this! I love watching your steel tests, but I worry about your arm. I say, find a thicker rope, and figure the equivalent in the twisted sissile (sp?). Like, 1 boat rope equals 45 cuts on a regular rope or something. Save that arm Pete!

[@tacticalcenter8658]

@@tm1182 more cutting and more data points it will show up.

[@jackchueh1231]

Then he won’t have his baseline

[@JacksonKnives]

It could work if, for example, Pete establishes a baseline with ~200 cuts on the old rope to weed out the wimpy and normal steels first, then moves to a more abrasive/hard rope for super-steels that are still cutting. He'd ideally want to have an overlapping control period, though; re-testing a few existing super-steel results with the new test, and checking newer super-steels with the old test a few times. (More samples with the new, easier-to-perform test would help, too. You might even find out an equivalent number of old-rope cuts for the new rope, though I'd guess it won't be 100% repeatable.) What would be really cool is something like micrographs of the edges at intermittent points, something to establish a curve for the wear. (The BESS could work, but I'm not 100% happy with repeatability in that system.) At that point, though, we've turned Pete into a low-rent metallurgist, so maybe it's all a bit silly.

[@don0giorgio]

200 push ups every morning will do the trick Pete) Great vid as always mate

[@basmca1]

don0giorgio pushups are actually awefull for shoulder health, especially in his case where his is already putting high stress on his shoulder. Facepulls would help him, pushups would only hurt.

[@don0giorgio]

@@basmca1 when you got your doctor diploma mate?

[@basmca1]

don0giorgio you don't need a doctorts diploma to learn how our shoulders work. I've been training for almost 5 years and have done my fair share of research on shoulders, how they work and what injuries you're likely to get from some movements. The main thing is people getting an inbalance by doing things like '200 pushups a day' but not doing the equal back and rear deltoid training. That inbalance make the front deltoid and chest muscles tighter relative to the back muscles, pulling the shoulders to the front and down. The effect of this is the rotator cuff muscles and nerves getting pinched and causing pain when the shoulder is put under stress.

[@don0giorgio]

@@basmca1 will simultanious pull ups training help?

[@basmca1]

don0giorgio yes, a rowing movement would be ideal( the same range of motion as pushups but with the loading reversed.) but pullups are good as well.

[@kevinAuman1]

At 3% carbon I was curious to see what this steel could do also and I'd like to see it on a fixed blade woods style knife too!

[@mt_baldwin]

Pete, if you're not doing a review why not wrap the grip for the test, there's no reason for your hand to suffer for an edge/steel test. Racquet tape is like $3 or something and won't hurt the knife, it'll just add padding and is super easy to put on and off, just wrap until satisfied and then tape the end.

[@CedricAda]

you are defini right, i just need to organize myself hehe

[@DieYuppieScum91]

s125v: when you want to go batshit insane but also want your knife to stay pretty and not rust/patina.

[@kevinAuman1]

I sure would have liked to seen this steel pushed further, maybe stropped with a diamond progression with the toothy edge and then tested again or even brought to a polished edge to see if in fact it could hold or take one and tested again with that edge as I really feel the results when pushed would be much much higher yet....

[@kevinAuman1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWOqXmmPZ92Zaa8 here BBB has taken it to a mirror polish and look what he is able to do with this steel 🤔

[@paulmills426]

I was thinking of buying one of these knives in s125v. How much should I offer for the knife in your opinion? Also the Rockwell hardness on this knife says it's 64hrc etched into the blade so a little better than the 62hrc of the one you tested. Thanks, Paul.

[@blitzbbffl]

Great video!

[@PaulK390S90V]

How about Nitro-v?? Getting some kitchen knives in either zfinit/lc200n or nitro-v. Nitro-v is available now but im not sure if I should wait for the zfinit or not. Any idea about it or future testing coming up Pete?

[@ciderandthorazine]

very interesting; pantaloon-clad effort much appreciated. it's got me thinking that s110v might be a bit better if a high-polish edge is desired, on account of the niobium. meanwhile s125v is superior, if the user doesn't mind a toothy finish. and so i wonder, is there anything useful a high-polished edge can do, that a "toothy" one cannot? i've never performed eyeball surgery, but still have a fascination for the high-polished edge. i wonder what it's all about.?

[@InexorableOne]

650 or 750? You posted 650 on the screen but I Thought you said 750

[@davedonkey5663]

Poor guy ,can understand tell me anything about this knife I found x50cr mov 15 ? Thanks

[@JacksonKnives]

It's not much different from the AISI 420 steel that's been around for a long time, see also Krupp 4116. Kitchen knives are designed to be run over a steel every time you use them, so they're usually pretty soft and won't usually keep an edge for as long as a folder in the same steel.

No genuine knife nerd agrees with clones. THIS is why ill never buy a Chinese made knife, where the ones best at forging (copying) are heralded, not the craftsman.

[@veryvice]

It's a Russian knife made by Andrey Biryukov

[@D00MTR33]

It's an original knife. Andrey Biryukov has been making knives since 2004. He's apprenticed under Shirogorov and started making his own knives. This is a very traditional Russian knife design and quite a few makers make similar knives. It's not a copy or a clone or made in China. He has an amazing shop where he makes his own timascus, Damascus and san mai laminates, makes his own hardware and is known as one of the better Russian heat treaters.
