Srm or Sanrenmu makes great knives. They produce the spyderco tenacious and many others for oem companies. Some of their more expensive srm models come with almost mirror polished edge.
Is Real Steel part of that group because of the good materials or are the affiliated with Sanrenmu / SRM / Land which I believe are all the same company.
@@SevrSevn thanks for your reply. as far as i know it's a Sanrenmu company for the western market. i live in Thailand and i cannot find them anywhere in Southeast Asia.
That's a beauty! 8Cr13MoV stainless steel typically has a hardness of 56-60 HRC is slightly higher than the average chef's knife. The hardness of a typical chef's knife varies depending on the type of steel used, but most fall within the 52-62 HRC.
@@SevrSevn The hardness range of 56-60 HRC is generally considered optimal for 8Cr13MoV steel, balancing edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. Lower in the range (56-58 HRC), the steel offers better toughness and resists chipping, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. Higher in the range (58-60 HRC), it provides improved edge retention but may become more prone to chipping. This range ensures versatility for EDC and light outdoor use. Here is table from KnifeUp's site, showing how it performs relative to AUS8: Properties 8cr13mov AUS8 Edge Retention 1/10 2/10 Ease of Sharpening 8/10 9/10 Corrosion Resistance 6/10 7/10 Toughness 6/10 6/10 Hardness 4/10 4/10 They have a page dedicated to info on this steel and others.
Good content sir. I Just happened across your channel being a "knife guy" i guess they threw you into my feed. Sorta glad they did , you sound familiar tho🤔 Definitely subscribed and gonna give you a go. Thanks😎👌
@SevrSevn I'll send you mine. It's the Bladeshow exclusive titanium one. They offer CF variants for less than 100. The steel they use is equivalent to S35VN. Can't remember the name of it 😆
I have a bunch of knives oem’d by srm and every one has a stupid good edge. I do believe they do oem work for a bunch of brands like real steel and others. Nice review.
SRM has been known for really good sub $30 knives for a while now. I happened to be holding my Ozark Trail while watching this. The SRM with its 8cr and G10 appears to be better.
Hey Jim! Thanks for stopping by man I appreciate it. That's dope man, I think I'm going to stick on the budget stuff pretty consistently it's been fun finding things in that price point that are really good value.

Sanrenmu / SRM / Land / Real Steel have good materials, very good machining, fit, and finish, thorough QC, and excellent heat treatment.

I appreciate the input I didn't know that. Is 56-60 HRC optimal for 8cr13mov?

Very interesting, thanks. Got the SRM-1005, in 2019, one of my favorite knives, action is great and the edge came polished like a mirror 👍
Pretty cool knife & TY for the video
Thank you for the comment and the feedback. More hyper value knives coming in.
The 255-L is one of my favorite blades from them.

And Böker Plus, I think they do/did CRKT, spyderco Byrd.
Thanks for sharing an inexpensive knife that would last the average person a lifetime.
My pleasure there is more to come. Full review out today!
