This video compares the edge retention of four different steel types commonly used in bushcraft knives: 1055, 1075, 5160, and 1095. The knives are tested by cutting through jute rope and paper, and the results are compared to see how each steel type performs. The video aims to provide viewers with insights into the edge retention capabilities of these steels and how they might perform in real-world bushcraft scenarios.
4642 11 месяцев назад 7:36This video compares three American knife manufacturers that use 1095 carbon steel: Ka-Bar, Tops, and ESEE. The speaker discusses the different heat treatments used by each company and how they affect the strength and durability of the knives. They also share their personal preference for fully hardened blades and express their opinion on the merits of 1095 steel.
3241 1 год назад 6:34This video explores the common misconception that 1095 steel is the best for survival knives. The speaker explains that while 1095 is a basic, affordable high-carbon steel, it's not necessarily the best choice due to its lower toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to other options. The video delves into the characteristics of different steels and their suitability for various knife applications.
8597 2 года назад 20:03This video tests the edge retention of eight different steels by batoning them into a pine board 500 times each. The steels include 1095, Nitro-V, CPM 3V, CPM 10V, Vanadis 4E, MagnaCut, S35VN, and PGK. The video shows the sharpness readings before and after each round of batoning, and discusses the performance of each steel.
