Magnacut plus Bushcraft equals awesome: Creely Folklore 

Where do you think Australia gets their eggs from?

I'd say he has about average for eggs and eating! You do know roasting chickens are exlayers.

New Zealand? :D @@bobjohnson1633

That cuts deep.

I stayed for bricky and Pete’s love of onions.

I came for Pete's beautiful hairy legs. 🦵

I just came

I like the knife part

I only worked this out the other day, makes a huge difference. Same for the water, keeps it so much cleaner.

@@phillxor yeah, my grandma taught me that. I sure wish I could ask her some questions now

@@phillxor There are better ways. I have a 30 gallon food grade drum tapped with a spigot. Connect PVC to it and run a line attached to the coop with gravity feeder cups. Even in Florida with this insane heat, I only have to give them water once a month. Food, a 55 gallon food drum I put the chicken feeder ports into the drum a few inches from the bottom and set that on conc blocks. They can only stick their head in, so it keeps them from throwing it everywhere. And of course you can dump in a couple bags at a time and not have to worry about it. Damn near maintenance free chickens aside from getting the eggs.

Thanks man, glad you enjoy my stuff

I have the folklore in magnacut but with blue handle, of which I finished sanded to perfect fit. I love Gary Creely's blade I was seriously considering the mako is it as nice to use as some reviews say?

@@jenkinsmig I thought the handle looked kind of weird but it melts into your grip. Between the blade shape and the handle it will do 90+% of what you want a knife to do, the ergonomics are very good. The Mako is a very good 'every day' knife. Given it's size and shape it wouldn't be my first choice as a camping or bushcraft knife, but I'd still take it with me as a backup. It's one of those knives that you get used to always having on you. The few times in the last 9 months when I chose to carry something else I still found myself reaching for the Mako. So far, the few people that I've spoken to that own a Mako have been very positive about it. The blade geometry is very slicey. Garden hose, zip ties, line for the weed wacker, trimming branches & PVC, etc have all cut like butter. I've only had to strop it once so far after months of daily use so Creely did a good job heat treating the magnacut. I have babied it a bit, use an old Izula 2 for those tasks that could really damage a blade. I live on some acreage so I'm always repairing the pvc water lines that go out to the fields and in the barn. I'll use the Izula to dig in the dirt and pare off broken or cracked pvc but the Mako to prep the new fittings, it's a cleaner slicer. I didn't think I'd like the pocket sheath because I wasn't used to that type of carry so I had a kydex sheath made so that I could carry horizontal on the front of the belt. I wanted easy access while sitting in my truck. But after trying the pocket sheath I tend to carry it that way more often than the kydex.

Looks like I am going to have to buy a mako.....Pete you sexy Aussie which of the steels Gary offers is a question I have magnacut and cru-wear ....

That'd be hawt.

I can't wait to buy another esee 3 and 4.

I love my Bradford Guardian 3 in MagnaCut. They make larger sizes. I always EDC mine.

Pornous

@@BenCase88 That's one of the best choices available right now. Also makes a great skinning knife. It's more expensive than Bradford, but Schwarz Confidante is a fantastic knife. The main difference is no finger choil in the blade itself, so you have 3.5" of cutting edge instead of 3", a more curved belly (for skinny, it's great) and a longer handle, which I also find better for skinning. If you're a hunter, Schwarz is a great knife. For a full blade EDC, I think you picked perfectly (or the 3.2).

Thank you too!

Pete’s ability to set footage of his life to FF / Chrono Trigger music is a gift.

They aren't prohibitively expensive, or anything.

🤌🏼

yes indeed they are still pretty frazzled but getting better each day

Space force k-bar. For killing space invaders in cqc

Is it in MagnaCut tho?

The 20cv will be about the same. The K390, S90V, S110V and S125V will be slightly harder or take a bit more time. The Maxamet is the hardest and will take the longest.

@@BenCase88 Just curious, is this from experience or based on the chemistry and/or other info. Regardless I appreciate it.

@@sqeeye3102 Magnacut should be a bit easier/quicker. Magnacut doesn't have the carbide volume of those other steels. Diamond or CBN would be the best choice for all of these.

So Listen to mee boooi. My Name is irrelevant but i'm addicted. To knife steels. X50CrMoV15 (1.4116), S30V, 80CrV2, elmax, M390 and four MagnaCut blades. The ease of sharpening from top to buttom: 1. the martiini lynx 80CrV2 puuko scandi 59hrc, the trc this is freedom M390 61hrc, Brisa Trapper 115 elmax scandi 60hrc, White River m1 backpacker pro MagnaCut flat convex 59 hrc, UG tools stealth compact survival 62 hrc, white-river m1 Marbled CF 2023 62 hrc, wmf Classic line flat X50CrMoV15 ?HRC. The ANV a100 MagnaCut flat convex 64 hrc and the S30V of my leatherman Charge tti are both incredibly difficult to sharpen. Both different reasons. And the most yay saying blades to strop will still be softer hc steels. But the edge retention one the MagnaCut ones is unreal. I dropped the 59hrc White river m1 on multiple occasion on concrete, nothing broke just dull spots. Tip intact. If I would to this to the m390 trc ( m390 Böhler designation /20vc crucible) the the chipping would be funny. The MagnaCut blades requiere some good diamonds and ceramics to be sharpened. Don't Start with the El cheapo Amazon waterstones. I'm using dmt dia sharp 8" stones, the spyderco 306UF, Fällkniven DC4 und CC4 as EDC sharpening, and a 12k Adelmayer resin bonded. The spyderco after the 12k. Then strop on course leather with dbk 4 micro stroppy stuff maybe some touch ups on the spyderco the stropping on DBK 1micron compound on dbk pocket strop. Go for the skerper, it's cheaper or DIY it from the get go. Don't cheap out on diamond stuff. I don't like the scratch pattern of the Amazon billo ones. Maybe they get better after use but I have to say the cheap waterstones are awesome for dressing the resin bonded 12k. The metal build up on those from MagnaCut is insane but not as much from the puuko. Thanks for reading. UG tools are working on a 65 hrc sheepfoot MagnaCut blade. I will not buy it. Oh no! not this time. This time different. Completely. (I will buy it 4sure)

@@LosRiji While I appreciate the information, I'm curious how you are able to verify the Rockwell hardness of every single steel blade to within a single point with absolutely zero error? My understanding of even professional Rockwell divot testing machines give a small error bar of 1-2HRC on each sample and it also depends on where you test.

S35 is doing pretty well so far.. They cost about the same, so we just need to wait for more companies to adopt it.

@@bobjohnson1633 Yep, no need to pay for the hype.

If you think this is a tank, wait for the Folklore Beast! If you want optimized for toughness: it's more specialized to toughness

Yes very compressive! 😂

PS. I lost count. Thought at one point the picture would pan out and we'd see the missus busy putting chicken in at the back end. 😅

you would absolutely not want them to be any bigger than they are

Not I. I think he perfectly displays why steel alloys are different, but all are good because steel is good blade material. He dispels my steel snobbery. In fact he also discussed how blade geometry is even more important! I'm of the opposing persuasion

What are your thoughts on the Magnacut vs Vanax?

@@TheAverageJoeX Both are wonderful and I can't say that I notice a difference in performance between the two. I haven't really done any hard or extreme use on either one though.

i took it to the cage farm and said ‘fill her up’!

My single reason to agree is I begrudge any separation of my grip to the heel.

Pmsl

Never heard of CBN stones

@@LosRiji i sure have but that does no change the fact that i like my bushcraft blades to have an edge after the ricasso

15:52

Because it had the same hardness as the others. Equal hardness and nothing out if the ordinary to improve edge holding seems to level the playing field
