I had a Kershaw leek in 14c, loved it but I lost it. Got a new leek, the copper handle one, and the steel isn't even the same! Thankfully it's an upgrade to cpm 154 and I love it too, they're both great knife steels and the Kershaw leek is the perfect edc imo

@mikafoxx2717 4 месяца назад

Toughness and hardness, and corrosion resistance is nice. Ease of sharpening almost stops mattering when you go diamond. 14c28n is damn good stuff though. Even the budget 12c27m isn't half bad for being about as cheap as 1095 in premade mora and opinel knives.

At some point I'd like to see Larrin do a bit of a plug for his Apex Ultra steel, its got quite a lot of interesting properties in it which should interest the knife makers and users who might not have heard of it. Didn't get quite the same amount publicity as the Magnacut, but there's a lot to like there too

Can I tell you about our lord and savior Niomax?

@krissteel4074 8 месяцев назад

@@LosRiji I don't think that was ever made in any meaningful quantities enough to filter down to scub knife makers at the arsehole end of the world where I am. For a while I was making a lot of knives out of Niolox+ which sort of sold me on niobium alloys in knife steels as being a very good thing to have, it got harder to find or they called it something else along with none of my more trusted suppliers carrying it. Think I've still got a bar of it squirreled away for a project but that's about it

@BenfromFlux 8 месяцев назад

Excited to hear Larrins answer - but the most important attribute is dependent on the application. A blade primarily designed for combat will have different needs, it must never break, so something like 3V will be much better than a more wear resistant steel, and if it’s a knife for a SEAL, then corrosion resistance is also extremely important. All depends on the application, but for general purpose, Magnacut is at the top.

I'm a total novice to Metallurgy and this on RU-vid and your web page is extremely helpful, thank you KSN; although I get a brain block for my uneducated cells. I wish to coal forge and gift a drop point survival knife for dearest friend, who does mostly basic camping often in all wood/mountain areas. Unsure on the full process, heat treating, annealing etc, so to get the best from the alloys used together. Laminating steel's: Blue 2, W2 (Hamon), 1084, MagnaCut and 440C. Truly hope you can help?

(on the part about 80crv2) I would be really interested to see different low austenitizing temps tested. Starting from the critical temp, until it reaches max hardness. And see how it behaves.

@SavageSmoke74 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Temperature means more than time, people never get that. A constant temp means the material will only ever get that hot. I compare it to sou vide and they get it. Ive been preaching geometry of the edge for years. Hopefully customers will start letting makers k ow.

@KinetikES 4 месяца назад

Very useful info, thanks! How does Bohler K890 compare in the hardness / toughness / corrosion resistance balance?

@KnifeSteelNerds 4 месяца назад

Haven't tested it. It's a non-stainless so the corrosion resistance wouldn't be particularly high. It is advertised by the manufacturer to have high toughness and average wear resistance.

@KinetikES 4 месяца назад

It would be great to see how it tests. Especially since it can be made to high hardness and retain high toughness. I wonder how it holds an edge when sharpened to a low angle edge.

@CLa-wb5vj 7 месяцев назад

Hey Larrin! I’m not sure if you’ve spoken about this previously but would you ever consider picking up research and development of the modified cpm 3v from 2009? I believe it replaced one of the elements with niobium. From the specs it seems to dramatically increase the transverse toughness. I’m a total noob when it comes to this industry but is it possible for the modified cpm 3v to be produced in the future? Thank you for your time!

Oh wow dulling from "air" and sweat is a real thing according to your knife doc. I have something to confess. In addition to my well trusted White river M1 backpacker Pro MagnaCut @ ~62 hrc, I'm carrying a spydie Endela K390 wharnie ~62+ hrc and this thing is good but needs to be honed once a day. And since I have a dual grit edge on it 1:12k vitrified diamond so it ain't easy peasy without splashing the one thou. With 12k:12k all I had to do is edge trailing strokes on a spydie 306 ultra fine ceramic, 1micron dbk compound on soft leather strop and finito. Maaaan I do need a MagnaCut folder which is decently thin, not as the ANV A100. (although it is 64 hrc and gives you hard times on ceramics). Any recommendations? Spydercos Native 5 some might say but I need a MagnaCut Wharncliffe. Don't say hogue deka this thing is ugly. Gosh I need it!

Lamination in hot rolled steel is bad. No benefit to be had-it’s a bunch of nonmetallic bonds leading to crack formation during rolling, and weakness in use. Why are people asking if it’s a “good thing”? Am I missing something? Damascus steel isn’t the same as lamination. Lamination exists because of impurity inclusions.

@KnifeSteelNerds 8 месяцев назад

The “laminated microstructure” was ferrite and martensite, not inclusions
