Aus-10 is actually a high end budget to low mid grade steel , it holds a lot better edge than Aus-8 , probably a bit more than Sandvik 14c28n or Vg-10 , But that really all depends on how good the heat treat is and Cold Steel usually does a great job with it and obviously Schrades isn't that good although you did put some good pressure on that thinner tip before it broke . And as far as China , their heat treats are Always suspect , its night and day between them and Taiwan, Taiwan makes good knives period .....👍🖖

@Divine_Serpent_Geh Год назад

The Schrade most likely gave out because that tip was ground way much thinner than the others, it also looks like it’s made of the thinnest stock. Higher cutting/slicing ability, but weaker when doing such prying tip tests. People often jump to steel spec too soon. Thickness at the edge, and the angle of the primary and secondary bevels matter much more than people think.

@preparedmind101 Год назад

Watching the break compared to the GI Tanto break... The Schrade took WAY more given the stabby tip. I honestly thought the wood would give first. I pushed it too hard, too far. If it was heat treat it would no way have held up to the pressure that it did.

@JohnSmith-gs4lw Год назад

Agreed. I wouldn’t overthink it. Steel type, heat treat, AUS 8 vs. AUS 10, socialist vs. democratic, whatever. The Schrade Extreme Survival clearly had that swedge coming down from the spine by the tip. That tip was a diamond shape cross-section scalpel out on the end. That sheep’s foot is a brutish triangle cross-section. Now, to be fair, I think that SRK-C has a swedge by the tip as well. But I think the geometry on that ES was done solely for looks and not for function. To your point: don’t call it Extreme Survival. Tacticool BS.

@tikkidaddy Год назад

Dude if that wannabe Bushman was normalized or tempered at ALL, ILL EAT THAT LOG...that was disgraceful. It carries the name and that's all

@brr8888 Год назад

The GI Tanto used to be virtually indestructible.

@johnaugustin5447 Год назад

As soon as you pulled that one Schrade out of the sheath, just looking at the geometry I figured that would be the one to snap. A knife can be indestructible, or it can be slicey and stabby, bit it's a rarity to be both.

@DontTapeBananas Год назад

The SRK remains undefeated as the best budget all around fixed blade on the market.

@trikyy7238 Год назад

Agree.

@henryhill6126 Год назад

Hey Chris, AUS 8 has a lower carbide volume than AUS 10, which generally makes it tougher. More carbide volume increases wear resistance but lowers toughness. #2- I noticed a big difference in heat treatment of those bushman line of knives from Cold Steel. They used to have a spring temper but now they just harden it done. It is cheaper so that is probably why they do it poorly. Greed sucks.

@michaeldmcgee4499 Год назад

I tried this with a Taiwan CS Leatherneck. Tip snapped like a twig. The hollow grind couldn't support the tip under pressure.

@richroc7 Год назад

I’m surprised you tested any schrade knives but that sheeps foot was good for batoning despite being a bit small for my taste. I rarely baton with my knives anyway but if I do I prefer a larger blade. $30 you can’t go wrong.

@Samuca1300 Год назад

I have a pair of Schrades 1182512 just like that one that broke the tip. I love the design, but it has a major fatal flaw: They're made of too thin of a stock. One is made from 3.8mm stock and the other from 4mm stock. A knife like that, and marketed as an extreme survival knife, should be made from stock of at least 5mm, possibly even 5.5 or 6mm.

@claypoole702 Год назад

In my experience AUS-8 and AUS-10 is perfectly fine steel. Heat treats with it are important but so is blade stock or geometry. My experience... AUS-8 is more stout and can take abuse better, AUS-10 holds a better edge for a little longer. Kizyler Supreme uses these steels a bunch and their knives have always been caliber... in my experience. But TBH, I haven't purchased a knife with those steels in probably a decade now.

@tarinindell8217 Год назад

Ive been thinking about getting the kabar jarosz turok. But its been a few years. Can you go over it again and possibly include some other more recent competitors?

@WWBILL2 Год назад

I am not sure I understand why people do this. I have seen many videos of others "testing" knife tips. Hardened steel ground to a point will be brittle. Two decades ago I pulled a brand new benchmade folder from my pocket to show a coworker and dropped it on a concrete floor. Lost about a quarter inch of the tip when it hit. I reground it and still use to this day. The point is i would expect most to break under that type of stress. Just my humble opinion...

@preparedmind101 Год назад

It stems from the last two Cold Steel Videos where old knives that USED TO BE indestructible are now snapping like twigs. That's why.

@johnnyshanksalot8358 Год назад

Idk, I make small 01 knives sometimes as a hobby and smacking the edge against concrete few times to see if they chip is how I normally test to see that they're even tempered right. I'd ask for a refund/replacement. Maybe it's me being a city boy but I don't understand delicate fixed blades, why not just use a large folder at that point?

@HollywoodTacticool Год назад

AUS 10 is supposed to be a tougher version of VG 10. and AUS 10 has a much higher carbon content than AUS 8, so maybe that adds to the brittleness

@matthewmarek1467 Год назад

Solid vid Chris, this just reminds us to do our research before buying, especially on budget Chinese knives. The one super cheap thing CS still has going is the Taiwan made tomahawks, which can still be found in the $23-28 range. They do require a little work to get them in shape, but that makes you love the end result even more.

@randyyeager Год назад

AUS-10 is a lot like 440C, but a bit tougher....

@MoonShadow74 Год назад

I bought a Cold Steel Tanto back in the early 90's. I skinned a black bear with it one time and put it through hell for years. It never failed me till I took a bike trip through Florida and I sold it to lessen the weight I was hauling around. I do still have the full sized SRK that was its companion. Its strong but it seems to be harder to sharpen it to shaving caliber.

@jeremybryant5778 Год назад

I wouldn't really fault the Schrade for breaking off. That tip was thin and aus 10 is harder and more brittle than aus 8

How the blade is tempered can make it stronger which may account for AUS 8 outlasting the AUS 10.

Chris, I have followed your channel for years and have learned a lot from you. Although you are not the only creator that performs torture tests (SMH) on blades, in general I have not observed a focus on safety. You did show your first aid kit but did not display any EYE PROTECTION. You may have been wearing it off camera though. This rant is directed towards ALL creators. Anyway, I do own a couple of cold steel Tantos and I admit I was drawn in by Lynn Thompson stabbing car hoods! I wish you continued success in all of your endeavors. 👍

@dlrmon1 Год назад

Schrade needs to quit with the hollow grinds on their “Survival knives” and pay attention to their heat treatment processes. About 5-6 years ago I tested the Schf2 in 1070, Schf3 in 8cr13mov and there Schf37 & 38 in 1095 steel. I also did Cold Steels SRK in SK5 and Aus-8. Also Steel Will’s Druid 200 in 9cr18mov and multiple others really not applicable here. I did edge and tip toughness... Almost all the Hollow Ground knives failed including SK5 SRK. Survivors were the Schf38, the Aus-8 SRK and the Druid 200. Also noticed big difference in edge stability between the Schf37 & Schf38. The 37’s edge damaged badly while the 38 was one of the best I tested.

Of the knives that broke I do have to say I was impressed by the Schf2 and SRK in SK5.

@decal1751 Год назад

I'd say it has more to do with the h.t than the fact its aus10 i have some in that and they're more budget knives but seem pretty strong. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Plus a thick tip is naturally going to be stronger than a thin tip knife of the same or comparable steel a tanto has a thicker tip than a clip point blade and so on.🙃

I am NOT a Schrade fanboy and with that said, the Schrade failed because the stock is very THIN and no knife of that stock thickness in SS will survive that much pressure on the tip. The Cold Steels of course did survive because the tips are about 3 times thicker of better steel.

@preparedmind101 Год назад
