Making Knives Rust - S35VN, BDZ1, VG10, M4, LC200N 

I hate that i love the knife lab that much

chair placement is interesting .

correct......lemon juice, not a great test. MY CHARTER BOAT? yes! no real saltwater near by huh? zed.....is stupid!

You either have a Roomba or a poltergeist. Either way, you need to be careful mate.

You have outdone yourself with that intro. Absolutely hilarious. (And great rust test too...)

BDZ-1 is a mediocre steel, not even close to BD-1. Comparing to 8Cr13MoV is giving it credit, more along the lines of 420 steel. Japanese AUS-8 or finished in Taiwan are far better than either sans BD-1.

Vg10❤️

You “down unders” must have a hard time eating at your dining table with your chairs like that....although maybe it’s easier with the gravity being inverted down there?👇

I would have liked to have seen how D2 steel compared.

Another great video Pete. I love your salt water rust testing videos best, besides all your rope hating vids, lol! Pete's rope cut skill: 99/100!

Interesting. I have a nearly ten year old edc BFZ1 Blur which I have heavily worn the handle on but the blade is still in good shape with not a speck of rust despite how I have abused the poor thing. I have never oiled the blade and I have done things you should never do to a folding knife like prying and batoning with it and it's held up great aside for a couple of scratches from digging and hitting rocks with it. The handle unfortunately, is another story. The fact it is almost a decade old is a testament to how tough the blade has been. I tend to damage or heavily wear my edc blades within about five years, but usually its the blades not the handles that prompt me to replace them. I actually found this video while thinking about replacing my old knife for handle wear. I wanted to see if people were still making knives out of this stuff because it's been tough as nails.

How does M390, S110v, s90v compare?

I really appreciate these rust tests. It helps to remind me to keep my higher Carbon AND my stainless blades oiled. But then, I have learned from experience how rust-proof or otherwise most of my steels are. You know, you prep a meal, cut some green eucalypt (one of the most acidic tree saps in the world I think), cut your salted bait and rinse the knife in the ocean water. That sort of stuff. I'm yet to get my H1 Salt 2 in salt water as yet, but I tell ya, the stainless that Opinel use is absolutely stellar. If you've got a stainless Opinel laying around, check it out. My N0 10 was used to cut salted bait and was rinsed in a saltwater inlet. When I got home I didn't think about the knife for some reason. The next afternoon (or maybe the day after that) I remembered the knife. There was no rust. It was a little stiff because some gunge got caught up between the blade and Birchwood, but it had no signs of rust. Yep, I was impressed.

Did poltergeists move your chairs?

I spend a lot of my time in the poop lab.. Very similar themed intro.

Id be so happy is Lc200n was available on every knife

Good stuff as always! Thanks for all the great videos and tests!

Man you are the sickest blade reviewer on RU-vid. You've given me a lot of information thank you down under there.

How do you clean the m4

A while back you made a video of two Gerber StrongArms... 420HC & BDZ1. I think a nice side piece to this video would be same saltwater test on BDZ1 and a 'still-coated' 420HC... then another with 420HC uncoated. One of the things I feel could have been better focused on in this video was close-ups of the edges. Commonly we see the corrosion spots from an overall appearance sense, however more importantly the revealing part is at the edge.

Sog, those sneaky bastards. I could not find any info on CT’s bd1z. I saw the run it at 60-62 and thought it might be decent stuff. It’s not. Just clever naming. Boker does that with n695 steel. It like oh it’s like n690! But it is 440c. Fuck them for insulting our intelligence. Well done sir.

I both enjoy and dread these videos. I have never had problems with rust (thank God) because I keep my knives cleaned and oiled but now I am afraid if I open my knife case I will have sticks of rust on handles instead of knives! Especially since I just bought a Bark River Bravo 1 M4 without researching the steel....

Top Job Pete!!!

My Spyderco Chief really disappointed me. I treated it like a baby and somehow the blade has rolls/chips in the edge. Have you run into this?

Can you please do S110V in a rust test? I don't think you've done it before. Thanks bunch, M8

Love the knife lab, good work ma - CHOKE UP FOR DETAIL WORK - n.

I live in Cheshire, United Kingdom and it was great to see you respecting our Queens English. Thankyou.

The SOG is made from D2 of course it’s not stainless it will hold a great edge but is a victim to rust a lot of the time!

D2 ???? So, many cool looking knives are made with D2, but I question the rust resistance

AGA Copeland switchblade knives single blade

Great stuff! Love the knife lab… Although I am now compelled to play the tennis or go bowling… Weird

Ohh man, you put way too much effort in your sketches, I love it!

Cedric, thank you for your comparissons!

zdp 189 is a good contender for such a test

Your chairs are on the table reminds me of the movie poltergeist

I didn't expect lemon juice to be so friendly to knives, neat stuff

How long did it take for the m4 to rust like how long did you keep it on there?

Dude, seriously your videos have gotten so great! Totally induced audible reaction to humor...

I have an Al Mar eagle is AUS 8 as well or is it AUS 10?

Zed schmed, it's all in your head.

THE BEST Music on RU-vid PERIOD 👍

Knife lab intro deserves its own channel my friend)))

use a rust eraser to take off rust. works great for whet stone cleaning as well

Great thumbs up to thumbs down ratio bro!

When I grow up, I want to go to Bovine University too!

Damn, this opening was even better. Keep the creativity coming!

The internal parts can also take damage.

What model is that laconino?

Citric fruits like lemons are coated with wax for preservation on the outside, maybe you applied a little wax coating while sticking it into the lemon 😁

A wild Cedric appeared!

Something in this video bothered me. I’m not sure what it is. But unsubscribed haha

Great video!

Womp womp...mediocre edge holder and easy ruster? I was considering getting an XR but for the price I'd want better steel.

Z is dead

Omg that intro XD

Good vid

😁

Niiiiiiice

Don’t you have a strong arm in BDZ1?

AEB-L any experience or tests ?

Why didn't you test me? AUS-8 is pure garbage in my experience unless it comes from SOG (I have 4 of their knives, their heat treat and/or coating of AUS-8 is top notch). But my Kabar Dozier, BlackHawk! Be-Wharned, Cold Steel Finn Wolf, Ontario Rat 1, and Boker Kalish all developed minor rust spots. Besides a few D2 here and there and some cheaper 8Crs's, none of my knives ever developed any rust. Either I have the worst experience with Aus-8, or its a tough steel for companies to make corrosion resistant.

Lance Clinton had a great video yesterday about Spyderco Caribbean LC200N

Chairs up on the table? Knife lab accident?
