Great content as always! I have been looking at the Master Hunter in 3V, having used a few 3V knives from Bark River I am happy with their edge retention. Reading up on some reviews though I found that Cold Steel have changed the shape and place of manufacturing for the Master Hunter, and users are reflecting negatively on the new version. Esee is known for their heat treatment (though I believe they do outsource this service), and Cold Steel seems to have loosened up on thier QC and production quality since the sale of their company. Would be good to see a comparison of the older and new Master Hunters in 3V, that may show a difference between the two. Cheers!
What kind of roe is that and what is it made pf that it kills edges that quick? Most inives would be able to cut sisal or jute rope for hundreds of times but here 25-40 cuts dulls the edge? That's really surprising.
I would expect a fat 3v grind to dull pretty fast while the thinner s35 should outperform the 3v by a pretty good margin. In my novice opinion, 3v is a good bit tougher than s35vn. I honestly prefer simple 10 series carbon steels for my outdoor stuff. It holds up well enough and I can strop it back easily. And I can sharpen it on a flat rock in a couple minutes. Just my two cents, Like your channel +1 sub
Amazing test. I am highly suprised that S35VN has better edge retention than CPM S3V. Good for me, I am S35VN lover :-) Could You test quite common Sandvik steel 14C28N please?
@@peterbiltknifeguy I figured! I tried reprofiling my master hunter 3v and it took ages! I thought I was doing something wrong.. At least I can have confidence in it 👍
Seems common for companies to make their 3V knives thicker than other steel offerings which kinda defeats the point and makes me think it's because they want it to not chip of fail. 😊
S35VN is definitely better. It’s rare to need that much strength that the 3V has unless it’s a huge blade. Plus the S35VN is plenty tough and has much better corrosion resistance and is easier to sharpen too. So imo the only thing the 3V has is edge retention and toughness.
Yes, Carbon V generally cuts for a longer period. However, I'm not sure if it's because of the steel or because Lynn Thompson was more closely monitoring the tempering of the steel during the late 1980's.@@peterbiltknifeguy
@peterbiltknifeguy I can't do more than 2 that close to my grip. So you're better than me. I'm a huge s35v fan and some of the newer powdered steels. Also love me some high carbon, and d2, 440c blades. If it's scalpel sharp. 440charlie or opinel carbon blades are fucking dangerous with a 15º or less edge. I was attempting to slash a lace that was digging into my foot that somehow got cinched down today, my Opinel 12, carbon with an 11º edge. Yeah it looks like I have a mouth on the top of my foot.. through the lace, through the tongue of the shoe.
No. Not at all. CPM 3V’s super power is strength. Not edge retention. It will hold a better edge than 1095. But s35vn is definitely better at holding an edge
to what my eyes can see, the one That did 25 was doing a lot better than the one that did 40, you should be more fare dude, I like honest RU-vid videos, sorry mate, you are probably a cool guy as to know like friend of family and barbecue, but not fare this knife testing, really not .. but I wish you all the best man
@@peterbiltknifeguy ok but the cutting test was not very conclusive to my eyes, I appreciate though that you responded very quick, I was fortunately right about this, you're a good guy, well I hope in the future you can do some more convincing testing I mean the paper thing was not ideally executed, and sorry for being rude, you know in our time there is a lot of junk on the internet, but you proved by your attitude in response, to be a cool person, I thank you for that, ok man be safe god bless
I appreciate the kind words. I’m very new to edge testing so everything I do is definitely not scientific lol. I’m learning as I go. Also. neither knife was dull. I was just seeing how long the paper push cut would stay on the edge. So many factors involved.
@@peterbiltknifeguy I’m kind of new to knives But according to DLT and every post I have read CPM3v outperforms S35vn . I m on the sideline waiting for the Ursus 45 In 3V for the longest time
@@stephen2634 if you look at the knife steel charts. S35vn out performs 3v in edge retention. 3v is basically just super strong. Semi rust resistant and has about twice the edge retention than 1095
