The edge retention of Maxamet is crazy...I love my Manix 2. What shocked me the most though, is that it is quite durable despite the insane hardness, and even more so by how easy it is to sharpen...I have a more difficult time sharpening my S90V and S110V knives.
In the words of Keanu Reeves... "Woah."
Wow, that's some crazy edge retention, LITERALLY, more than double the nearest super steel. Glad to hear the ergonomics worked, could only imagine if there was a hot spot on the grip.
Also, if the knife is still that sharp after all that rope cutting, I think you would only need to sharpen it once a year if used as an EDC, depending on personal use.
Just got a Spyderco Para3 with Maxamet . This knife came SHARP! It pushes thru paper like a single edge razor blade and pops hairs off my arm better than any of my other knifes. I’m a fan . (Haven’t sharpened it yet, obviously, but I am excited to do so when the time comes) I have a feeling I won’t need to carry a pocket sharpening tool with me to work everyday anymore.
that is insane. I don't know if anyone needs a steel that good. I want it lol
It's always a good day when the freak steel you have to test just happens to be on one of the most ergonomic knives ever assembled! That could've gone way worse. More power to ya, dude!
Ordered a PM2 in Maxamet after watching this video. Thanks brother! 🤘🏻😎🇨🇦
Wow! That's very impressive. I like how you added in the cut milestone numbers as the test progressed too.
Wow that is insane looks like that's what I'm buying in a month. Thanks for doing all these tests you are the best source
Can you tell us the sharpening order of the gritt levels you used to get that edge that cut 810 time
Great job. This result is crazy! Will see how your polished edge goes, but may have to re-profile my Native 5 to 17 degrees. Spyderco should be paying you! You're going to sell a ton of knives for them.
Holy crap! I bet anything that convex lovers would guess the opposite before seeing any of your re-tests. And I would have too. This is crazy , I am going to get that exact knife lol
Awesome to see you doing the unleashed tests
Para 3 still has to come out. Eagerly waiting for one! Have the Manix 2 Maxamet and it is insane!
As a member of the International Sisal Rope Preservation Society, I am indignant. You shall pay for this, young man! ;-)
Amazing stuff!!!! 600 diamond is rough as hell imo, but sometimes less is more... I should really experiment rougher edges with my M4 contego. But that polished face shaving edge. It's just so hard to say no to it. Maxamet seems just plain crazy, I wonder at what point blade steel evolution gets to a point where you get a blade from factory that's so hard and tough that you can't really sharpen it, but it will not get dull, within reasonable limits of course 🤔.
Do it again to verify results!
Just kidding
sngx1304 haha that would be brutal
Now that I call dedication, do it again to confirm the result!))) Good job Pete, as always
I just bought this knife last week. Looking forward to using it. I was really in love with CPM-S110V, but there looks to be a new king!
Wow. That puts the steels in the teens in perspective.
I dug the music from 1:54 to 3:24. It has an early Rush/Yes/King Crimson vibe going on.
Sheeeeeeesh that was impressive
Thank you for all that you do brother, im happy i found your page
Man..! I may sometimes disagree with your methods and interpretation but I have to admire your commitment and hard work :) Good job.
haha thanks. yeah im definitely not the carl sagan of steels but I try my best
Would like to see a video on the Lansky system sharping maxamet
I need a Shaman in Maxamet. Have them in Rex45 and Cruwear, but in Maxamet...🤤
Wow! That is some impressive steel.
Whenever I set up a patreon you're the only one I'm donating to lol
Nice work man!
great job Pete,you are a true warrior
Truly impressive!
Another excellent job . Thank you so much .
Very impressive! Great vid!
Dancing Mad was the perfect choice for this boss level steel
Hey, Pete, you know what I would really like to see? A proper discussion about the benefits of low end steels.
And when I say low end, I mean nothing higher than 440C. Just a thorough look and comparison between 8Cr13MoV, 420HC and 4116. I'm particularly interested in how some companies tend to get the best out of these cheap steels. Buck's famous for their 420HC heat treat, but it kind of seems like Cold Steel is doing the same thing with 4116. That steel fascinates me, because on paper it should do even worse than 8Cr13MoV, and yet you got unexpectedly high results in your cut test. Is everyone else having the same experience?
Great video. Now i want one more than i did.
810 cuts, that's incredible.... I wonder what a polished edge would do
marrenmiller less
Vinny Nero have you tried this already? Maxamet may not perform like other extremely carbide packed steels in that regard
marrenmiller at 6% vanadium with all those carbide in there. I’d bet my left nut it would do less.
malapropism27 generally high carbide steels cut less with polished edges. M4 good example of that. S110v would be another one I’d make that bet about.
Vinny Nero S35VN at 4% performs better with a polished edge, and this steel may perform more akin to ZDP-189 than 10V with it's extreme hardness. There's ample reason to think either way with this one
wow 810 ! thats insane
😱 wow! Looking forward to the other tests. Can you tell us how long it takes to touch it up on the lansky?
Faak mate!! Pure insanity.
Why so s90v only about 100 less? S90v is a beast. Does s90v have better edge retention than s110v?
In theory, I love a blade that holds an edge forever, but in practice I love sharpening my knives more. I like a steel that is a good balance between edge retention and sharpenability. VG10 is just on the other side of too soft. I haven't had experience with 154CM, but if it lies between VG10 and S30V, I think that would be the start. My S110 LW Manix nearly never needs touched and it saddens me. That and the pinned construction. Just got the CPM154/S90V Manix sprint so we'll see how that fares.
cpm154 is great steel dude I like it better than s30v or s35vn bcoz it's easier to resharpen and also tougher than both of them
Christ, this is like brave wilderness and the insect sting pain index, think you reach the top, then something else comes along to fuck up everyone's day.
Another video....yessssss!
Good video !!!! Thanks !!!!
Holy shit man!!!
Have you seen the video apostle p made about his thoughts on maxamet? Id love to hear your opinion on his opinion.
yeah, I dunno what was going on there. I am a way inferior sharpener using inferior equipment, and this edge is totally great. Took a while, but its great and the rope is tough on an edge, plus the chopping board beneath it would be a little hard on the edge too. All I can suggest is he was polishing it too heavily with the wrong kinds of stones for the steel or his was too brittle from a curly heat treat. I did coarse/medium/fine diamond then a strop with starkie sharp blue compound. Nothing fancy at all, just repetition.
This result is amazing! It inspired me to buy a Para3 with Maxamet blade. I find it easy to sharpen with DMT diafold medium and fine. I can already shave with it after five minutes. The difference is that I have followed the factory bevel rather than reprofiling like you did. I’m not sure I ever will either because after a brief stropping the blade is sharper than any other I have.
I recently saw Big Brown Bear’s hair popping video with what I think is a K390 Spyderco blade! Insane sharpness! I don’t need that edge daily but it is cool to see where fellow knife nerds take the hobby. I like your recent angle of user knife logic. It is closer to my needs and interests because I use my knives. I like the meditation of sharpening them but my real enjoyment comes from using them for actual tasks.
I rewatched this great video and thought of a question. Did you use a Lansky Diamond Stone system or the regular stone system to sharpen this?
Cedric you better cool it with the Maxamet because I don't think UA-cam pays workman's comp.
Is this better than Rex 121
Very nice
👍😎👍
Did you use your diamond set to sharpen this knife? Could you have sharpened it without diamond stones? Also, does toothy mean you didn't use the highest grit?
yeah, toothy is stopping at a mid/fine grit, like 600. diamonds are far quicker and I used my lansky diamonds for this
@@CedricAda I am considering getting this knife, but if I also have to invest in diamond stones as well, I might give it a pass.
Impressive stuff. That lansky is probably even more impressive. Everyone talks about that system like it's a joke compared to edge pro and wicked edge. Yet it can handle maxamet..
The tool isn't the biggest factor - you need the right stones. Any tool that can hold the angle of the stone consistent relative to the blade will work. Some are are more stable, or easier to use than others. The Edge Pro stock stones won't do much work with Maxamet or ZDP-180. With diamond and Shapton glass stones it's quite good on the hard steels.
Wow!
Cold Steel is releasing their srk in San Mai 3 vg10. And I don't know if that would be worth it, what's your thought on a San Mai three vg10 Steel?
Well the only thing the san mai adds in a non chopping tasks is strength so that if you pry or something with it it wont break. But other than that its just plain ol vg10
The edge is Vg10, so it will do as many cuts as Vg10.
Toughness testing on maxamet?
yeah soon!
MORE DRAGONFORCE!
Any idea of the Rockwell on this badass?
I saw a guy test his PM2 maxamet and it was 66
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors hoooooolllly shit! That's nuts! Recently new sub too your channel and these unleashed tests are great man!
Now you need to Strop it back to sharp on camera
Must be super chippy
So Maximet got 300 more cuts with a toothy edge over polished? Do you think that harder steels to better with toothier edges? Are softer steels better to have polished edges? These are the big questions. The world must know!
It is mostly chemical composition of metal that promotes toothy edge over polished one and vice versa. Low chromium, high vanadium tool steels like CPM-M4 or Maxamet perform better with toothy edges. Steels like Elmax or M390 have both high chromium and vanadium content and perform well with both edges. Steels like cpm154, zdp189, cts-xhp gonna be better with polished edges :)
Very impressive performance. The only criticism of Maxamet I've heard is that it is a bit chippy.
yeah will do some chip and rust testing very soon
Love all your testing. Very helpful.
"A bit chippy" I've heard this steel is basically as brittle as glass.
Nathan Navaja
Maybe not glass-like, but it is really brittle. When sharpening my Native5, the bevel continued to chip out. After a while, I determined that the lowest grit I could use was 300 in order to keep the bevel in tact...
Have you had any experience with cru-wear steel? I would love to know if its any good or not. I need to get a knife with maxamet.
Working on getting a knife in it now!
When you say "toothy" edge, what does that mean? What grit do you stop at?
fine diamond (600)
What was the worksharp number on maxamet
563
dumb question, does toothy mean you only sharpened it with course/meduim stones? if not, how do I make a knife get a "toothy" edge? got a s110v and got a lot of peeps telling me to get a toothy edge on it.
I stopped at a 600 grit diamond stone, then stropped it, and that was it.
thanks man! didn't think it would be that coarse, I'll give it a shot.
Insane! my only concern would be how easy does it chip? Its all fine and dandy until you are cutting cardboard and hit a staple or something.
There's a video on UA-cam, by BigBrownBear I believe, where he feather cuts aluminium rods with Maxamet and it doesn't chip.
Do you know of anyone in Australia who I can pay to sharpen a maxamet para 3?
pop over to the channel NJMS EDC - thats nathan, an excellent sharpener who does mail order
@@CedricAda thank you Sir.
No freakin' gloves people
🙀🙀
That's a bit special that steel.
