Great blade and excellent prices. I find most knives today cost more then they are worth. The skrama will do anything you ask way under the price of other companies that make mostly pocket jewelry. It seems the knife community has left users and moved to collectors that never use anything. Spend their time showing off on UA-cam. Then dropping it in a drawer. Well look at who gives advice nobody that actually works. I'd never buy a $200 knife to use in the shop. Sorry for the rant I love those knives you mentioned especially the 110 puukko
I’m a knife maker, i use only 80crV2 because i have a huge stack of it and I also have access to a kiln so i can be sure i’m hitting the right temperatures. A friend came by my workshop, big fella. I asked him to try and break a knife with his bare strength and he almost broke a knuckle, the toughness is incredible and you really feel how wear resistant it is when you’re sanding. I find giving a ferric chloride etch dramatically helps with corrosion resistance on this steel, so I do that on all my blades for bushcraft and kitchen use. So far 40+ knives and no complaints about anything
I own a WINKLER belt knife 80CRV2 , and I think it is just like CPM154. In sharpening,and a long lasting edge . I really like it. It is almost as good as CPM3V. WINKLER, TOOR, and HALF FACE BLADES!!!! That’s all I know. Please do one on CPM3V. Thank YOU
Have a 3 in it. One has a cryo heat treat and the other a differential heat treat and both are nearly unbreakable. They Survival/camp knives and they are very durable and have good edge retention. It will rust but it's cheap but very good. It won't fail. I call it Super 1095 lol.
I bought a Peltonen M95 with 80CrV2 primarily because I am in love with the country Finland and how Fin‘s approach product design. But after TC raved about the functionality of this steel, I am eager to give it a real try out after winter. FEEL THE STEEL!!!
It's close to 1075, 3V and other steels with 0.8% carbon content. Forms medium amount of ferrum carbides or cemetites as we call them. It is a good steel for it's price. Easy to quench, easy to harden, easy to sharpen, has high toughness. Rusts aggressively, so you will always need some oil to protect the edge from the destruction.
i have a channel for reviewing knives and i gotta say that was a great overview on 80crv2 i was checking out how good the steel is cause im getting my first winkler knife bro im excited so i appreciate your content man.
Greetings TC, I would like an episode on 440 I know is not an exciting steel for modern knives enthusiast but less expensive steel blade been around for many years. I'm a Rough Ryder fan boy and I use them everyday and it hold up for it's application (food prep, box cutting).
I dont have a blade in 80CrV2 but I'd like 1(killer that ya showed Jimi Slash). As for the steels I'd like to see more of I'd have to say the kind that's big sharp&pointy lol. Killer blade&killer vid knife bro!!
TC has a huge selection of knives and gear that he switches and changes daily. Going out into the woods? He has his LT Wright Genesis on hand. Hanging around the office and editing vids? Medford Smooth Criminal will prob be in the pocket. We will have to do a TC gear and knife haul soon! Thanks for the idea 👍
It is presumably the most used steel in Finland for knife production. Most Leuku and Puukko knives have that steel. Funny enough not often Swedish knife makers use it. Too close to home maybe.However you have to take care of your knife made with that steel. If you cut a tomato or lemon you have to wipe it off directly or you will get stains. Myself I think a high carbon steel knife should have a nice patina from frequent use.
Any Swedish knife maker you can refer me to, just of curiosity. I'm a beginner blade smith, and in my view 80CRV2 sounds like good starting steel. Cheers.😀
I have more than 100 knives in my collection. I can smell carbon steel and you are right, if you not using a knife, it will rust (physically and mentally too :-) ). Have MS multiple sclerosis so after it was diagnosed to me, I wear only neck knives and automatics. My legs are weak, my hands too. But I use my neck knives more times a day.
I apologize, apparently I didn’t explain my analogy well enough and it greatly depends on the environment you live and work in but over the last two years I’ve literally witnessed two vehicles, one my daily driver and one that was driven once a month, each of them washed twice a year and parked next to each other outdoors the one that sat most of the time, dirt grime and mildew ate away the clear coat and ruined the paint, the dd still looks new
I’ve tried many of the latest blade steels but not this one . Honestly most of them are a big trade off . Not really something the average person needs.
What knives and steel they are made up of should always be looked at by the person using them and for what job/task before just buying a steel. Thanks for watching Prop!
Nothing special about this steel 0.8 of carbon and that's it if you want hard and tough you've got to use cpm nothing else can be as tough as cpm no Damascus or other smascus
Two of my favorite knives are made with this steel. The Jääkäripuukko and the Skrama by Terävä. Both are two of the toughest blades I have owned.
Great blade and excellent prices. I find most knives today cost more then they are worth. The skrama will do anything you ask way under the price of other companies that make mostly pocket jewelry.

That is awesome and your knives sound very interesting as well 👍
It's really cheap steel to buy as well. So you definitely get a good deal. It's a very good beginner steel as well as a pros.
I just got a custom in 80crv2 and it's my first blade in that steel. So far I'm liking it. Stays sharp a long time.
We love 80crv2 and thanks for watching!

Got more than a dozen ( including very large ) 80crv2 knives. My absolute favorite steel especially for my outdoor knives

Fantastic Video. Just what i was looking for. Ordered a custom survival knife with 80crv2. Thanks for the advises... especially the rust tips. 👍😊
Thanks for watching and glad we could help!
Moving to Tennessee on the 27th of may and I can’t wait to frequent the store!!!
Your bank account will hate you! I know from experience, been shopping there for decades!!!
Great to hear we are getting a new neighbor! Stop in often because we new stuff all the time👍

TC another great show. I am still waiting on 52100 though. I would also like to learn more about 5160.
Thanks for watching and both of those are goos suggestions 👍

We love Jimmi Slash! He has made several trips to the store here and it is always a treat to have him in house 👍
Have a single edged dagger and two elvish daggers made with 80crv2. No complaints, but most steels will serve the purpose of most users. ;)
Great video as always. Can you please do a video on cruwear?
Great suggestion!
Do cpm cruwear
Thanks for the suggestion!
Make a video on cpm 3v please
Good suggestion 👍
Yes, I've waited for this forever lol 8670 steel next please!!
Thanks for watching Kyle!
Hey TC, what do you EDC? With access to so many great knives I am curious as to what you would pick.
TC has a huge selection of knives and gear that he switches and changes daily. Going out into the woods? He has his LT Wright Genesis on hand. Hanging around the office and editing vids? Medford Smooth Criminal will prob be in the pocket.
We will have to do a TC gear and knife haul soon! Thanks for the idea 👍
It sounds like TC also has someone to answer his questions to.

How does 80CrV2 compare to 52100?
I live in buffalo where 7 months it's snowing, three months it's raining and 2 months it's 90 and humid hahaha so I hope my knives don't rust
In those conditions you need the toughest of the tough!
Jump to an oddball steel, go for a spring steel like 5160 (unless you already have and I've missed it :P )
TC usually qualifies as our oddball but we like where your mind is at on this one! Great suggestion 👍
So this is good to use in Indonesia ?
In the farm ? Or do you recommend a different steel?
Cool video tc
Thanks Korey!
This steel or n690 for survival knife?
80crv2 or A2? Which one is better and what are the use for blade?
Can you talk about tungsten carbide
Thanks for watching and the suggestion!
80CrV2 I'm worried about H-1 because I use a knife in the wonderful sea. H-1 is strong in the sea.
H-1 is great around salt water! Thanks for watching Shadow 👍
Can you guys or did you guys do one on 154cm??

How good is this for a Katana?
Check with a trusted blade smith and see if this is a steel that they like/can work with.
Your car paint analogy was so wrong... You should edit that part out...
Wind does not clean dirt off your car .....

If you dont use it you loose it?🤔🤣🤣🤣
I always thought it was a cheap China steel hmhm
It is German steel that is preferred by custom knife makers especially for "choppers"
