Surprise to me was how well the san mai did. Considering too that it should be easier to touch up than 3V.
The difference in edge angle makes quite a bit of difference with edge retention in these rope cutting tests, as seen on Cedric and Ada channel's testing. That being said, I'm a big fan of CPM3V.
The Master Hunter is a great knife, no matter which one you get. Excellent demo.
I had both and I found I liked 2 main things in favor of the vg1. I thought it lasted about the same, super close but easier to bring back in 2 seconds and just continue on. And I much more preferred that shape over the cpm3v knife. That 3v has more of a belly. Imo. I feel like the San mai knife is my favorite and that it’s behind the other one as far as lasts by like 10-15% at the most. 5-6 passes on a ceramic rod and I’m back to 99.9 in just 5 seconds on vg1. But the 3v was just not as quick and easy.
I love 3V. It’s tough, stain resistant and holds an edge very well, even at higher edge angles.
When I stropped my knives they became dull. There must be something I did wrong.
i have never noticed that VG1 is chippy, but the VG10 is the old steel and that was chippy.
Very Nice 👍
So which one is better?
I went ahead and got the master hunter in 3v
sweeeet i love these type of videos
have you done AR-RPM9 edge testing yet if so i cant wait to see how it held up lol i new to the knife game but man ive always loved knives jst didnt know they where so popular like it is now adays
It might benefit you to convex the 3V version since the edge is so much thicker, or at least give it a relief bevel. Probably would improve general cutting performance in the future.
Good test as i want the nutter butter knife in S30V with a Bos heat treat....LOL....Good triple header....Good stuff....
are both of these Cold Steel's Taiwan or China made? does Cold Steel mark or stamp the knives from where they were made?
I live in FL; stainless is on the important side for me. Any recommendations on which bargain metals should I be looking at when it comes to a daily fixed blade? Thank you, and God bless.
Great Video. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
How do you sharpen those convexed edges ? Wet stonr?
