Oh hell nah! Is Artisan/CJRB Lying About Their Steel AR-RPM9???🤔🤬 

Dude!! I'm blown away too... just by u being blown away

2 things about this situation 1back when they introduced AR-RPM9 Russell said the owner's initials were in the name. 2 maybe that rare earth element is Idontknowbium 😉

Never had an issue with my ar-rpm 9 blades. Acually have had really good results. Idk just my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️ Dig the video👊🏻

I really am wondering what Artisan will say

Dr. Laren Thomas did a video recently with ah dammit, some guy. Maybe zac in the wild. It was awesome. And his steel charrs are amazing

Post-rant edit: I have become the very thing I hate - a keyboard warrior, comment ranter. I still have to go check out Dr. Thomas's video (my Watch Later list is so long lol). I remember seeing a bladeforums thread from a few years ago when I was trying to look up the steel. Dr. Thomas was commenting a bit speculating about some of the things that I think ended up in his final analysis, the biggest being that the factory producing the steel wasn't known to have true particle metallurgy. I've seen the semi-explanation that it wasn't truly advertised as "particle metallurgy" but "particle manufacturing" or something similar. I'm amenable to what I've observed (in the brief time this has been out) are the two sides of the argument. On the "CJRB/Artisan don't deserve to be banished" side, there's the "their supplier deceived them," the "they never truly advertised it as 'particle metallurgy,'" the "it's only ever been a budget steel," and "if it performs to your expectations, what's it to you?" On the "CJRB/Artisan need to be banished" side, it's basically the opposite, namely "They knew, they advertised it intentionally, and once you've lost your trust/integrity, you have a looooong road to walk to earn it back." I can also get that for someone like Dr. Thomas, who makes knife steel composition, manufacturing, and processing his area of expertise and the thing that puts food on his table, he'd have a high professional standard for what he expects in his field (that's my thought on "Why should we care? It's a budget steel. Can you tell the difference between 8Cr13MoV and Maxamet when you're opening your 16th bag of chips?") I'm inclined to think everyone is entitled to their opinion in this matter and, like I said, I'm amenable to both sides. Personally, I'd lean toward the expectation that CJRB/Artisan need to really open up in transparency on this before I'll be willing to purchase one of their knives.

Whats up my dude sorry been a while due to illness. Nope your right and Blade HQ said it was as well on there video said it was a powder steel. I dont buy cjrb so I guess I'm good😂😂😂 except the one pirite I was gifted. Get em Frankie Edge geometry will cut alone without sharpness. Have a good one

Twisted sizile 😂😂

That's why I don't buy knives from China I don't think they have really stringent standards for the composition of their blade steels. Yes! purposefully deceptive ‼️🔥🤘🏻

Number maybe accidentally too many, but clearly lie about powder-form metallurgy. Knife Center always states that, making distributors giving false claims???!!!

Just got done watching his video…..
