TC is teaching all of us more about the differences of the different metals and having a blast doing it! Some of us a just afraid he will start passing out homework🤣
M4 is probably my favorite steel for knives. I don't care that it's not stainless. It's just the best steel I've found for a very hard use pocket knife that actually holds an edge. Some of the cheaper steels are tougher but they don't hold an edge
M4, Cruwear and K390 are my favorites in the realm of vanadium rich tool steels…aside from having good edge stability, they all have this ability to take a ridiculously aggressive edge. The crazy stainless steels are great, too but there’s something about the edge a good tool steel takes…it’s that little extra push over the cliff…
I haven’t had any problems with tool steels rusting or anything . Wipe em down when ur done, put it away 👍. I was hammered burnt to a crisp last night when the pm2 m4 dropped . It s making my day today that I heard about it
Loved the video TC you did a well job. Learned something and was fun and entertaining, you guys keep improving your video's every time! Left with only one question; how to sharpen M4? Thanks again.
Awesome video ! I once upon a lifetime ago was a certified machinist & journey*man* tool & die maker... I wanted to give props ! You nailed this fast, easy to understand & made the necessary jargon super easy to understand & personally for me, I remember something...lol. Well done ! Thank-you & God-Bless
@@kimberley-annem.olejkowski2811 thank you! We are trying to inform people what goes into the process and why these steels are considered “premium”. If you liked this, stay tuned, we just got back from a trip to Crucible and will have videos coming out about the CPM process
I have your exclusive Arctic Storm PM2 in M4. I haven’t had to sharpen it yet. But I’m not doing any heavy cutting. Some rope here and there. Zip ties, packages, tape etc.
I’m in search of my first PM2… this may be a silly question to ask you, but do you think it’s worth it to wait till the 24th and try get an Artic Storm? Or should I start with a less premium version for my first? Or get both 😂
When asking anyone if you should wait for a knife we are NOT the ones that are going to tell you to wait. Spyderco makes a great product and the PM2 is one of the best designs and that is why there are so many versions of it. We haven't been able to get TC to put down the Artic Storm since it has been in office...It is up to you but be sure to show it off when you get it!
Pm2 fully serrated you can't go wrong at all!! I can tell you from my personal experience that any Spyderco willl be special to you. My first was the tenacious, incredible knife!!
I bought two Artic storms in the first DLC run and my wife and I bought one each in the second satin finished run. I love M4, I love the fat carbon (I have it on a bunch of my knives, been getting fat carbon from Sharp dressed knives since they started doing it a good while back) and I love love love the PM2 (I wish they would release a Manix 2 Artic storm I would buy 2 100%)... Normally I pay about 150 bucks for the fat carbon scales from SDK's so getting a M4 PM2 with Fat carbon for 199 bucks was a unreal deal, about like paying 50 bucks for the M4 PM2.
Is M4 a better steel than S30V for a serrated blade? I’m looking to make a custom Benchmade knife and wanted to know if it’s worth upgrading to M4. Thanks
Both steels really work well for serrated blades and are fairly comparable, the M4 will be a bit harder and might hold an edge slightly longer, the only big difference is that S30V is stainless while M4 is not, so it really comes down to whether or not you want a stainless blade...
Loved the M4 bugout.. really loved the flytainium Titanium scales, titainium back spacer, blue Ti screws and thumb stud... however assembling it was a pain in the @$$.. especially the pivot. Extremely difficult... Bottom line : this is truly the ultimate "user" Benchmade Bugout.... the Ti scales were a taste thing, but the SMKW Exclusive Bugout was flawless
Never touched a knife screw before and swapped scales and hardware on my mini bugout in under 10 minutes. It’s not hard at all. Just have to stack everything on the pivot before putting on the opposite scale instead of trying to squeeze it all in.
@urielmartinez2161 I was having that issue but I think corrosion resistance not being that big of an issue for me, but wanting bonkers toughness I'm waiting for the bugout to get back in m4(I really only need the bronze finished m4 to do my build)
Stay tuned, we just returned from filming at Crucible so that we can bring a little more in depth look at it, but these are proprietary processes and patented products, there are secrets that no one can know.
@@phillipnunya6793 chill, bro. The target audience of this video isn’t lifelong knife experts that geek out on steel comparisons. It’s an introduction to M4, with limited time… not a university lecture on metallurgy.
