Rex45 Steel in the Knife Lab! 

First!

Excellent as usual. The big difference between K390 and Rex 45 is that I can buy a K390 knife.

That ZT lube intro just got a legit laugh out loud out of me. Good job!

This guy deserves more subscribers

This is crazy, just yesterday LTK did the results of some knives he sent out for rockwell hardness & molecular structure, whatnot & one of the knives was a military in rex45 - it had a roc. hardness of 67 ! --- the first thing that came to me was, Pete needs to do a test on this. Thankyou very much- such a gr8 channel. Cheeers from America. Thanks Pete 👍

Could you do a head to head test on which knives are better for concealing in the rectum? Asking for a friend.

Niceee!!!! Glad he actually sent it in good guy right there.

I’ve been carrying my Para 2 Rex45 for around 6 months -love it!!!

Great video, I don't know where you come up with these intros, but it definitely sets your channel apart. I’ve been a long time lurker, but decided to become a Patreon today for the current going rate of your new favorite lube. Hopefully someone else will pitch in for some paracord. Speaking of ZT....ZDP189 would be awesome to compare to the dragonfly test.

I LOVE the 8 bit music and the tests are awesome!

Good test, thumbs up for you not many people would take the time and effort, to put a mirror finished edge on a knife and then dull it like you do.Good job.

Was on the edge of my seat for this one. Great work as always man!

Great stuff. My favorite sprint of 2018.

Been waiting for this review!!! Really appreciate your work!!!

Been waiting for this one, good work, Pete. Take it easy on that shoulder, dude, a torn rotator cuff from repeated action is no joke, take it from me. That ZT opener had me howling, reminded me of a recurring skit they used to have on Saturday Night Live, called Appalachian Emergency Room, ahahaha, good stuff.

Thanks for testing it!!!!

Love the start of the vid great knife choice thank you so much

Every video is the reason I subscribed.. You will end up with hundreds of thousands subscribers someday you are a riot. Great quality objective information too!

Always learning, Big Thanks!

I killed my PC a while back and just have gotten back on line. I love your videos. thank you for all that you do.

The pinnacle of my day is living vicariously through you while being in “The Knife Lab!”

Entertaining and informative. You rock man

I wonder if the local law enforcement has a file on you. That’s a lot of twisted sisele rope yah been buying lad!!

Great stuff Pete!

You sick beautiful genius. Screw Spielberg. You are the golden child

Wow, REX45 now on my wishlist!

Just what I need! Into the steel lab we go.

7:35 i am 4 years late, but boy am i in fucking tears

Really like the military version, fits my hand nicely not to small

Enjoy channel greatly, Rob from Canada, good work Dadio, Turn on the Radidio!

Pretty darn decent result, and it's 1of tha most stable of the steels Spyderco's used from from wut I'm hearing

Whoa. Hold it right there fella. All sharpening must be done in the knife lab!

Hope you don't develop a complex about the insertion of the ZT. These days, who hasn't had a titanium handled frame lock flipper up their butt?

Enjoyable education as usual. One question, what is the name of the blade angle-determining app you use? I tried using my compass' clinometer to figure out my knife blade angle, but realized I didn't know how to use my clinometer...

Pete you are the fucking man, these knife lab intros keep getting better and better, had me in tears I was laughing so hard, I think I watched the intro 3-4 times before I continues with the video haha.

Swopped the Rex45 blade into my para3 lightweight. I'd run an S110V blade in it for a month so it'll be interesting to see if theres much difference. Chears for the upload.

Loving the music lately man lol

I just purchased a Bradford Guardian 3 in CPM REX 45. I don’t trust anything that Spyderco makes because of the inconsistent heat treatment. Bradford has they’re still actually certified.

Very enjoyable, thanx! ✊🏻🤘🏻

Digging the Rolf Harris look,, lol

Great vid. I just bought a Para 3 Lightweight in Rex 45 off the back of this video. Thanks +1 sub

When you reprofile a knife with your kme do you match the bevel across the blade b4 you adjust the angle

You see why lanyards are important everyone!

Haha awesome intro man!

I love my Rex 45 military.

Your Aussie sense of humor is a bit contagious...lol. By the way...what is your day job? You seem very well informed on the science end of blade steels.

holy hell that ZT skit absolutely destroyed my sides

I have the Parav3 in Rex 45..I love the steel, hate the color. Thinking of doing a custom scale swap on it. Otherwise, great knife, wish I had gotten the PM2 as well, but didn't.

i am about to buy the manix 2 version just for the blade.Then i will be acid etching it then stone washing it, and putting it in its home my already crazy manix 2. Mine started with the s110 version of the knife then i bought custom scales then i bought a s30v version because for some reason my 110v holds a edge well but has major problems suffering edge rolling while sharpening,Anyway Now i have a Flytanium inner scale a orange honey comb out scale a flytanium ball bearing cage and a lench clip,and fulling milled out liners. all hardweare is acid etched and stone washed besides screws. :)

King steel 🔥🔥

So you re sharpened to 34 degrees inclusive, no secondary bevel?

CTS-BD30P. Have you done any testing on this steel? I have a 9 year (or so) old Manix 2 with this steel. Can’t find anything as far as blade testing. Not sure there was other knives made with this. Would be interested in seeing how it stacks up in your testing. Thanks..

Really sucks this kind of steel is not stainless.. Thank you for the knife Travis ! Also, nice shirt 5:52 !

All for the benefit of the knife community.

Legend

aha! you can use your smartphone as an angle finder! i thought i was going to have to buy a separate one!

I really want to see a 12 per side test on rex 45.

Waiting on para3 s45vn

I smell a sprint run. An Australian glazed zt run

seems just about ALL knives and ALL different steels benefit from a mirror polished edge for the most part. Im sure there may be a few outliers of course. Is that the jest of your findings?

What is your sharpening system?

Gold Pete 😁

Have you used soul blazer music for a video yet?

Are you planning to do a 17 degree test on 4v?

How thick is the rope that you cut

How is the spreadsheet called?

Does it preform better that Rex9mm?

This video is a fucking gold

Best knife lab in Australia

I laughed so hard I peed a little.

Yeeesss

Everone knows Brazzers Knife Lube and Asshole Grease is the finest cutlery maintenance product available.

Hahah that intro

Pete....I think you should hire a knife assistant to split up the amount of strain on your wrists...or teach your cat how to do it at least. 🐱

Good luck selling that ZT second hand

Good jod Pete , I've been waiting for this one , those are awesome numbers . Question ; How do you adjust that sharpener to the different stone heights ? A new stone is going to be thicker or higher than a old stone and that small difference in height will throw it off a degree or two , is there an adjustment screw or do you just hope for the best ??

Is that the most?

great video, but your composition charts are off, no way it has 6% carbon in it

If I remember s110v was 640?

G'day mate! Do you have a graph or spread sheet of the results of your edge tests?... I've watched heaps of your videos and really want to see all the results together!

Please do more fashion v function tests, or fresh RU-vid poop. Thank you :)

Yall, look, we are wearing ol Pete out with our incessant steel snobbery. Can we all just agree that 99.9% of us will never wear an 8cr13mov blade out in our lifetime and let the poor old man rest?

Hilarious

Yes , a hobby . Still it’s scientific testing

Second

You need a longer intro.

lol

If possible, keep the beard. It suits you.

Lmao

Undertales?

Hope you were able to dig that ZT out of your prison wallet! Not a cheap knife!

🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

690, blah. Try MAXAMET, then we know where the term, Take it to the MAX came from!!!!!

Pete doesn't reply to me anymore since becoming youtube famous :(
