I was kind of hoping you would include the pros and cons of each knife shape... Like, what's the real difference, other than aesthetics? Most of them seem pretty self explanatory, yet others are more 'weedy' as to the application differences.

Now that you know the name of each blade type, be proactive if you want to learn something else. Take the blade shape name and Google it for more information, you're not at a disadvantage because he didn't list everything you wanted to know, he imparted a lot of knowledge, take the boost and run with it.

@Leftyotism Год назад

Got me a tanto fixed blade a few years ago, so I have a very robust tip, since I remember snapping off one or two tips in the past. I thought I buy preventive that time. German knife laws made me do it, to be frank. I didn't knew the law here says that's weapon character, since the blade shape is made for stabbing and does other tasks sub-optimal. At home it takes "abuse" quite well though. Well, it's a multitool! 😅👌

This is a great video idea, seen lots of people espousing inaccurate information about blade shapes as facts so it is good to see some clear and accurate information from someone as knowledgable as yourself.

@TylerSnyder305 2 года назад

Still a lot of inaccurate information when he's calling a coping blade a sheeps foot, and by calling a knife with a curved edge a sheeps foot. It seems the modern knife crowd rarely knows what a sheeps foot actually is, but that giant mouse or whatever is more of a very exaggerated drop point because the curved edge disqualifies it as being a sheeps foot. From the very beginning a sheeps foot blade has always had a straight edge, the modern knife crowd seems to only focus on the spine/tip forgetting that the edge must be straight.

sheep foot knives originally were designed to trim sheep hooves as name indicates and its shaped like that so you dont stab the sheep foot and its to give it a straight cut (which also is favoured by whittlers too as "coping" knife)

My question for DCA: how has the knife world changed in the last few years for supply/fulfillment? It seems like new offerings like Demko's were gone before they were available. Benchmade 940s, the ancient green guy, don't even seem to stay in stock. Is this how it's always been?

I love this topic, it has endless answers to endless questions. One country have at least 20 different shapes and styles to do 20++ types of work. Another country have 2 types of design to do it all. Professional slaughters may have 2 to 10 different shapes and points to a knife to make their job easier. Woodworkers have their own types of shapes and lenghts to make their work more precise and easier. There are a ton of professions that use a knife actively, including your local minion shop employee that restock the shelves with the food you eat everyday..Knives is something that everyone use and not everyone give any thought to.

@stephenbridges2791 2 года назад

I think Spyderco calls that shape a leaf. I'm almost positive that's what they call it. Several of their knives use that shape. My Paramilitary does. No matter what they call it, it is a very useful shape for a lot of tasks.

@mihaidragnea9785 10 месяцев назад

The pm2 does not use a leaf shape blade, it uses the clip point / straight spine style blade. The classic Spyderco leaf blade can be seen on knives like the Manix 2, the Sage and stuff like that.

@DullPoints 2 года назад

Great video! May I request a video on blade geometry? I've heard the phrase 'geometry cuts' but is there more you can tell us about the details?

@senoB 2 года назад

Depending on what you are cutting and how you are cutting the thiness and precision of the blade geometry will be better at "splitting" the material being cut. For precise, shallow cutting (say, scalpel), the steel doesn't really matter as long as it can get relatively hard and is ground with precision at the very edge and the blade is sufficiently thin. You can see this effect with razors and with utility blades as well. You can even use an piece of aluminum soda can to cut very effectively, just not for very long, as the edge will deform/get damaged quicker than a properly heat-treated blade steel.

@DullPoints 2 года назад

@@senoB Thank you for the info! I guess where the confusion comes is the whole thickness behind the edge thing. How come the pocket cleavers can cut at all? Why does my Mora knife cut cardboard better than my craft knife? I'm hoping David and the team know what I'm even trying to ask. Maybe just looking up the basics will be enough. Can you get Delica-like slicing on a less wide/tall blade like a CEO?

@senoB 2 года назад

The taller the blade, the slower the thickness increases from the edge and the less resistance from passing through material. So pocket cleavers like Kizer Sheepdog cut very well, but are bad at delicate tasks requiring a acute point or blade tip. Craft blade vs Mora: Craft blade will have higher initial sharpness and cut better but will dull a lot faster. Mora has better steel but less than ideal geometry for long cuts though cardboard. Delica (see Cardboard Killers by DCA and Thomas) will be much better than both. Lastly, you would need to regrind the CRKT CEO to have a thinner blade stock to match the primary blade bevel angles of the Delica. The shorter the blade, the quicker it thickens as you move away from edge and the more it wedges through material and experiences resistance.

@csquared4538 2 года назад

@@DullPoints there's a lot to blade and edge geometry, but a thinner blade will tend to have less drag than a thicker blade. A fully flat ground blade also can reduce friction, but also tends to have a thinner edge because of the gradual thinning of the the blade from spine to edge.. In some cases a knife that isn't very sharp can slice through materials effectively because once the edge bites in the blade geometry allows the knife to move through without much friction. But everything has some unique geometry that has uses in different tasks and materials. At my old job I had to cut through these super thick cardboard edge guards for pallets and I had a thicker knife that actually helped the material split rather than cut through them. Most tasks you'll do with a 3-4inch blade will go better with a thinner blade though.

@washako16 17 дней назад

A single-edged Deba knife is a knife specialized for dismantling fish. Normally, Japanese people don’t use Deba knives for any other purpose. and It would be difficult to sharpen it. For multi-purpose use, I recommend Santoku or Gyuto. The sharpening method is the same as for Western knives.

DCA, I’ve been looking for a foraging tool that can quickly cut bundles of plants of different kinds in large batches. This will be done legally in forest areas when gathering herbs, elder berries, etc. and other organic material. I was thinking that maybe the Cold Steel Voyager Vaquero XL Serrated would be a good option with it’s large recurve belly for gathering or scooping and serrated edge for cuting through material. Would this be a good option and would you recommend others?

@JMcConnell 2 года назад

I've come to think of the "reverse tanto" as a modified coping blade. I think it communicates more about intended usage.

@josiahscheck4759 2 года назад

Really appreciate going through the blade shapes, as it's been a confusion for me as well. A follow up to that: what differences in performance/function is there between different straight-edged shapes? e.g. between a straight sheep's foot, wharncliffe, and cleaver (I'm especially confused about the use of cleavers). Also, when is a tanto better than a drop point?

@liverpain3485 2 года назад

The differences is in the tip strength and how fine a task you can do with a tip. Wharncliffe is the weakest tip, sheepsfoot is medium and cleavers should have the strongest tip. All that said there isn't much of a point (no pun intended) in carrying a pocket cleaver since you don't get any benefits of a cleaver nor a sheepsfoot. The tanto is superior to a drop point at two things, that is stabbing and cutting clamshell packaging. Still a good blade shape tho.

@LucaNoire Год назад

New big fan by the way. However, in my humble opinion. The difference between a sheep's foot and a worn cliff blade. Is the spine and or tip shape. Thank you for what you do. I have learned alot today.

Here's a question for you: we rented a house for the holidays and all the cutlery provided in the house is abysmal (did you know a chefs knife could have micro-serrations?) Anyway, I fancy myself a cook, and that got me searching for a knife (or knife set) that I can take with me while travelling. I'm tempted by the Tops 8 inch dicer. Do you know of any other alternatives? Must be stainless (preferably a good stainless like the sv35 in the aforementioned dicer), must be less than 200 bucks, and must have a sheath for travel. It'll be used for food prep (duh) alongside my trusty Opinel 7 and Opinel veggie peeler. I have larger than average hands and like inherent safety (although that has no bearing here).

@stephenferris5133 Год назад

Great video - I can now appreciate the fine points of deviations / modifications from the classic blade shapes. Thanks. Speaking of different kinds of "weeds," how about some 'language weeds' :) In American English (at 1:34), primer (meaning a 'basic text' / 'first-level; instruction) would be pronounced "primmer" (like "skimmer") by stateside speakers. Brits would likely say primer like climber, whereas Americans tend to use that to mean a "first coat" of paint... Also, at 7:18: "Sheepsfoot and Wharncliffe are one of the only ones that *proscribe* a very specific edge profile..." Make that "prescribe" (as in dictate or require), whereas "proscribe" means "forbid" (just the opposite of 'requiring'.) Whew. Talk about going into the weeds. Really - very much enjoyed the video and got a lot out of it!
