Do you have any links to any of these products bro?

Na! Its a First in the comment section silly thing. 😊👍 what do you think of syroppy stuff? From what i see his stropping pastes are top notch. I like some of his vids and he's has help me understand a few different things. Great to see you bro. Hope summer treats you well. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌏🌏🌏🌏🥝🥝🥝😎🤘👊👊👊💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 The workshap looks good. 👍😊

18 to 22 degrees on the Kershaw

Great work getting to hair whittling! I have yet to go there, but I feel it coming! A little feedback on your intro/outro, it's a bit loud compared to the rest of the video. Anyways, keep up the good work!

I will.

Keep posting your updates!

I watched this again. So would you choose 1095 or d2 in an outdoor knife. Seems to be more and more cheap outdoor knives being made in d2.

Iron sharpens iron apparently. If you were carrying an axe, would sharpening a knife on an axe give you a better result than a rock?

Are you self employed back in NZ? I enjoy your videos although it is a pretty competitive niche on UA-cam. The natural stone sharpening competition deserved way more views imho.

Awesome 🤩 and thanks for the explanation around why and when you use leading vs trailing edge on the ceramic rod, very useful ❤ BTW: that’s one big farm 💪🏻

Made a 10" strop with adjustable angle guides on each end & also find the get in the way a bit. The Work-Sharp field sharpener is an interesting piece of gear with it's ceramic serrated edge which would fill out a missing capability in my sharpening gear. I am curious if the diamond plating holds on the handled sharpener.

Stroppy Stuff is without a doubt the best Diamond Emulsion on the market,, Nothing else comes close,, imho,, and his strops are the highest quality too,,

Who is the maker ?

Nice series, But I struggle to understand what you are trying to prove here. Do you know yourself?

That manly knife reminds me of my favorite broken skull cold steel. With a spydie mix.

Painfully long. Skip the first 8-9 minutes and you'll get to watch him slowly tests the scalpel twice, the utility blade once and his Spiderco once. I'm guessing he should have confirmed that the first utility blade test was accurate with a second test. Seemed waaay off.

The only thing I've found with my edc knife on the farm is it has to be all metal. It's become a hammer a twisting device and pair of pruners. Crkt m16.

Nice reviews. I have the airlite in od Green. Pretty good blade that disappears easily in the pocket. I have the s&w like that in .40. great shooter especially compared to Glocks.

Great episode, Gabe. Lots of variety and some fun dialogue. It’s interesting to hear the comparison of the NZ outdoor experience compared to the Wild Northwest in America.

Thanks for sharing 😊

Just built a 10" x 1.5"leather strop with some adjustable angle guides on both ends. - Going to load it with 6 Micron diamond paste . . . Looking for 150 BESS #"s - Looking for BESS #'s under 200 which have proved difficult to obtain with DMT diamond plates. - Thanks for all the insights you share . . . a short-cut to what may have been very time consuming trail & error.

Got the sandrin monza today, shaving out of the box, cloudy mirror edge, definitely a higher polish than any other factory edge ive seen, polished but still very agressive, more agressive than a steel edge at this level of polish, it wont whittle my head hair (i have super super fine hair) but it will whittle my beard hair which is fairly coarse. Definitely a nice factory edge

Seems like the thinner knife blades are becoming more popular & rightfully so in my mind. Those saber ground, thick knives are extremely hard to push, requiring 5x more force in some of my testing. I am getting ready to test various primary & secondary grind angles & how they affect the force required to cut medium & high density foods.

Cool Air Lite, the linerless G10 Triad Lock designs from Cold Steel have a pretty compelling weight/size/capability combo. Love my linerless Spyderco backlocks too.

The zcut is pretty nice. Great steel. I've been enjoying mine.

Do you find the thumb stud and contraption gets in the road of sharpening? I got a folding knife from Swiss Tech and I couldn’t sharpen around the thumb stud.

Love to hear about the farm, and your great trip to DC. Add in some knife discussion, and a tale of a serendipitous find, and it's the perfect video for watching over my Saturday breakfast. 😀

Fantastic video man. Appreciate your enthusiasm; we all love something new. :) I also REALLY appreciate the nuanced comments regarding the knives; good and bad. Those "small" things can really make or break things and short of a nice, crisp, "experienced based opinion" as you've so generously shared with us, how do you know? Can't buy everything just to try! Many if not the majority of folks sharing reviews are at the trough and come in heavy on the positives with a token negative thrown in for the appearances of discernment. Not you Sir! Wonderfully refreshing. Fair, balanced and insightful. Keep it coming.

Man, I definitely would want something longer than an SRK on the blackberry canes in my backyard. The thorns are nasty! An added benefit to 8Cr13MoV is since it's less expensive, it makes a great medium for experiments in knife modification.

That is one nice hat, 🤠🤠🤠

I'm planning on getting a CRK small Inkosi in Magnacut in a couple of weeks, and I plan on it being my daily carry, for the rest of my life,,, I may have an extra knife, or a leatherman on me, but the Inkosi will hopefully be the "one knife to rule them all",,

Max, is a great guy, and I trust anything he says, or advises,, It's a shame he doesn't put out more videos,, He has helped me no end, in my sharpening journey,,

Thank you for sharing such an important message. As well as having the courage to share your spiritual journey online. I will be praying for you brother🙏🏽

Hi, I've skimmed through several of your videos, with a view to going back and watching them fully,, a thought just occurred to me, and forgive me if you've covered it already and I've missed it, would it be possible to do your dual grit method, using just a DC4,,??.. I'm a novice sharpening noob, and trying to think of the most affordable way of achieving the dual grit edge on some of my knives,, All the best from England,, 😊

No. Magna cut doesn't have better retention. Your straight wrong

Thank you, thank you,, this is the very best video on steel composition, that I've ever seen,, I have a CRK Inkosi on order, and I'm so, so, glad it comes in Magnacut,,, thank you again, I'll be watching this video over and over again,, all the very best, from England,, 🇬🇧,, ps, I live around an hours drive from Sheffield, where the very first stainless steels were developed,,

Hi all Sharp steel is a wonderful puzzle - the dynamic interactive causality makes for a vast number of problems, each with their own various optimizations. Knowledge comes before and informs action and a lifetime of investigation is often involved in a major step or two of progress, which can take a generation or two before it becomes known. e.g. Cliff Stamp's method of sharpening "without" (i.e. minimally) forming a burr: One version of it has 3 steps - 1. Cut weakened metal from the edge using suitable stone/hone etc. 2. Shape the edge profile you want e.g. 6-10 deg per side, stopping when naked eye can no longer see light reflect off the edge. (10-20 microns) then 3. Micro bevel a fresh strong apex e.g. 12-15 deg Cliff passed some years ago but his YT channel still has over 300 vids and he shared plenty in his comments. Cliff considered forming a burr as part of making a fresh apex an inferior and unnecessary step - and stropping generally unnecessary. It could be that the next generation best practice will involve a mixture of Cliff's no burr and much less stressed apex steel and for some applications ... dual grit apexes. (1985 The Razor Edge Book of Sharpening set a world championship axe angle to 10 dps and their sports show razor was 6 dps ... you might want to rethink 17 dps. It's possible some of the expensive powder metallurgy steels have stability problems at lower angles, thus for some tasks they are not just unnecessary but are outperformed by ingot tech steels that are much cheaper???) Thanks for sharing and going through a re-think. I wish you all the best in just what you are doing, why, who it will benefit, how and getting valid testing really set up. It's not really worth doing testing that isn't going to show relevant valid results. sincerely d

I just went crabbing with a buddy of mine off of the coast of Oregon. Unfortunately we lost the very first crab pot that we tossed in due to old rope. So we decided to replace all of the harnesses before giving another crab trap to the bottom of the ocean. First I pulled out my Spyderco PM2. It didn’t go as well as I thought it would. So I grabbed my SOG Seal Pup and used the serrated part of the blade. HOLY SMOKES! Like a hot knife through butter. I decided right then and there that I needed a fully serrated knife for my new found salt water endeavors. Hence…why I’m here. 😂 I can attest to the fact that a serrated knife has a very specific purpose and that it excels at it. Thanks for the education and thank you Spyderco.

Are you from new Zealand? You have a very american accent.

U only need 1. Micah 6:8

Thank you

Good vid. Love when people can ditch the pretention and steel snobbery and just talk practical knife use backed by real experience. Few quick thoughts/info tidbits: • check midway USA and Chicago knife works websites for sales while you're stateside. Midway tends to have the best sales on Cold Steel, SOG, and Buck. CKW is usually just lowest prices I see in general. I got my SRK-C for $23 on a midway sale. • the SRK C is a great knife, but the one problem I have with it that keeps it from being a real user for me is that the handle is very thin. For those of us with hands in an XL glove or larger, it's just tough to get a good grip without bearing down and getting fatigued. I have plans to strip and convex mine and it'll live in my trunk in a breakdown kit. • not sure about availability for that specific model, but leathermans and other multitools have sheaths with pockets for bit kits. There are leatherworkers out there that can make you one, too. Pretty handy and space saving. • my first experience with magnacut was with an early 60 hrc heat treat protocol and I definitely had a wire burr and not too impressive performance. De-burred on a ceramic rod and it fixed a lot of the problem, but was still not too impressive. So much more than just steel type matters to the user experience. Part of why I hate steel snobbery. Even "budget" steels are fantastic in the right geometry and HT and well more than most people need in their daily if we were all honest with ourselves. Spyderco has had the best 8cr I've tried to date. Grab a Tenacious if you find a sale. Sorry to hear about your FIL. Hope he has a speedy recovery!

I wish more tool steels were used especially in the powdered form CPM tool steel is some pretty awesome stuff

Isn't it easier just to run it through one of those diamond v-sharpeners and then slap it a few times across a leather strop and you're good to go the Apex is fine unless you're going to be performing surgery or something like that and my not so humble opinion hell my coffee cup is usually good enough to keep my age fine and my fancy knife sharpening kit I hardly ever use usually it's only on super steels with 60 plus hardness

Good to hear from you Gabe! But sad to hear about your FiL's injury. I am sure your presence is a massive help on the farm. Sometimes, we have to deal with unexpected twists and turns in life.

I have been a super steel snob for over a decade but have been finding myself appreciating "lesser" steels a lot more lately. One major benefit is the lack of loss/damage anxiety. Love me some VG10! Also a breeze to sharpen :) Hope your FIL heals up quickly and regains as much function as possible.

Yeah, 8cr is fine if it's well treated. Enough carbon to get 60-61 hrc, enough chromium to be fairly stainless, well balanced for the level of toughness required in a small knife. It's basically a slightly hypereutectic Sandvik steel with a bit more carbide and a bit less toughness.

Interesting to hear your take on budget knives also. Thanks for sharing 💪🏻 Looking forward to episode two 👍🏻

What is the wrap around the handle?🤔
