none of those knives are designed to be used like that, this is the video equivalent of driving your car into a concrete wall at 100 MPH and calling it junk because it's totaled

There are plenty of knives that perform perfectly as knives and are also able to withstand a decent amount of abuse. A tool should be durable. This is a valid concern.

The Cold Steel with the 3v blade was an excellent example of the importance of proper heat treatment. 3V normally has a very high impact resistance but if the person who does the heat treatment goes way above the austenitic temperature before quenching it will increase the grain size and produce a much more brittle product. Stress relieving (tempering) and lowering the hardness won't help either in this case because it won't decrease the grain size.

@ArchimantisTF Жыл бұрын

Maybe the HT was botched. They also advertised their CPM3V at 60 or 61 HRC, which is good for edge retention and average abuse, however it weakens the toughness of CPM-3V (really good around 58 HRC). In the end, their 3V knives are not better than their old AUS8 japanese blades or their San Mai knives. I am still curious about the first batch of Warcraft tantos. This knife was quite durable, it seemed aimed at toughness more than edge durability. I've had both in hand, and the Tanto X seemed harder. I think the HT was a bit softer on the original Warcraft Tanto, maybe I'm wrong... Could be great to test one "a la Joe X" (and a shame to destroy the knife if it was properly HT).

This Video illustrate a few points very well! -"Knives have a Direction for Striking hard objects!": When hitting the edge on the stone/steel Bar knives rarely break, beeing hit from the back breaks them quite often. -"Horizontal stress is the Killer!" : Basically no matter what Knife, once He sticks it in the stump and leans on it, the knife is done. -"Cutting performance ruins Durability." every time i know the knife he is testing cuts very well and precice, it breaks Instantly. Thats what cutting optimized edges give you! -"Even modern Stainless Super Steel is not as Tougth as Old High Carbon." The "Microstructure" is just too different! So i think, if you want to build a JoeX Survivor knife, it should be at least 5mm Thick, of a High Carbon steel (1085), not harder than 55Hrc, with a short and thick doube edge (Think Gladius), And no longer than 20cm/8" to limit leverage! Shame i am no bladesmith :(

@neodymelanthanide2101 Жыл бұрын

The last point is totaly stupide. It's like asking to screw with hand to avoid messing up the screw. With same logic we could say that unsharpened knives are better because their edge won't get any less sharp. Knife's size has to be chosen according to what you need it for. Not toughness. It wouldn't make sens. If you need that much leverage/strength, and the big one breaks, then, for the same task with a smaller one, you would have to apply even more strength,, and it would probably break too.

@@DONK0 Esee is excellent for an American designed and made, old fashioned 1095 "rusty", and it's reasonably priced. They have a no questions asked return for replacement if blade breaks and their advertising and word of mouth implies breaking is nearly impossible. So it's ok for Joe X to bring them back to reality. Based on Joe's tests, if they are going to break anyway, I'd rather have stainless steel. (Becker knives are also 1095 but sold for their design, a little humbler but all these knives that talked up full tangs, 1095, replaceable screw on handles are essentially Rambo fantasy knives and it's good for a wake up call; on the other hand the $39 Cold Steel SR1 Lite FOLDER outlasted mist of them.)

Today I consider myself lucky to find your channel that is different and better than the other channels that, mostly with the desire to get free knives, only create content full of lying propaganda and falsely recommend products made for simple tasks with incorrect steels and tempers for the tasks that they mistakenly assume have been manufactured. I respectfully recognize your channel as one of the best educational and informative references for the correct choice when acquiring tools called by weapon manufacturers as “tactical and/or survival.” Much more success to come for your channel.

@@awesomereviews1561 🧐. My large knife is a tool. At 11” blade, It cuts , hammers, and prys. I am a first responder in Alaska. I’m on call 24/7 on an island of 89 natives. Sure, right tool for the job and all that. But the tools are only good if you have them during an emergency. My halligans tool sits in my quad, but I’m on my bicycle 99% of the time. I had to gain entry into our local bar- the pilot left his wallet in there. My knife pried it right open, no damage. I tested my custom knife right out of the box, chopped thru a steel 55 gallon drum. That checked the tip and edge. I told the maker I would. And that if I had to bust open a drum for boat inspection, cut thru a house to save a life , etc. and if all I had was the knife he made and I damaged/broke it, he would replace it. That knife lives on my hip. I have jogged with it- mile + 1/2, worked out with it, mountain climbers, sit-ups, food preparation, etc. Your gear/kit/kitchen sink is only good if you have it on you. I paid less than you think-$1200. But , that is WAY more than the brokies who watch this channel would fork over for their EDC. Their EDC consists of three folders ( folders 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣), a 4” prybar, micro light, and a challenge coin. But if all you do is open your Amazon boxes for your KZfaq channel , buy your coffee at Starbucks to stay awake in your cubicle, that works!

Hi Joe. If i may suggest something? Your vids are entertaining and show the thoughness of steel and the quality of heat treathment. But in my opinion it would become really informative, if you would do a cutting test ( maybe rope ) so see how long it will stay sharp, before destroying it. This way it would show, for what purpose this steel is really made and what is teh best combination of sharpness and toughness. best regards SOC

How I know? I took my knife out and thought never its that chippy turned out mine didn't chip. Heat Treatment is of utmost importance, if the HT is shit you can have whatever super steel you have and it will get outperformed by plain VG10.

ANY "good" steel blade will break under THOSE conditions. The only knife that will not break when struck against rock and steel, is a BUTTER KNIFE! Because it is made from soft (mild), steel with no carbon content, so it will bend instead of breaking. The desirable quality of 'good knives', is that they hold an edge and not roll over. For that, you need a combination of certain alloys (chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten, etc.), carbon and heat treatments. A straight razor will shave the hair off your face, but you can break the blade easily. This demonstration of yours proves NOTHING!

Sorry Ron, but you need watch his other videos of knives that did survive or survived much longer. The truth is that companies like Mora and Glock figured out how to heat treat their blades to make them not only cut well but to be nearly indestructible. All at a low price. The Terava knives from Varusteleka in Finland are also awesome and affordably priced. So are many of Cold Steel's blades and machetes. I don't blame all the knife companies for this though. Many of them fell prey to idiots over the last 10 years who screamed "edge retention!" for survival knives. I say "idiots" because they were all urban/suburban basement dwellers who only wanted edge retention because they were too scared to learn how to sharpen their own knives. Men 50 years ago would have laughed their butts off at these lame and overly soft Poppin' Fresh Doughboys. But things are going full circle and men are becoming men again and they are learning to sharpen their blades and want knives that will truly last for their hard earned money.

While i do like your content joe, i think it would be better to have several categories of stress test. For example, a batoning wood test, a chopping into larger tree limbs and brush test, basically more tests that would actually reflect how useful a given blade is for what i would actually use it for. I never bend a knife in wood, or bang it on concrete, so while they are somewhat helpful, they dont really tell me what i need to know.

I use vintage file knives. Cheap & quick to make. Tough too. I was gonna treat myself to a new fancy esse knife priced in round £250. I don't think I'll bother. Re Schrade frontier knives. I bought 2 frontiers in 2016 when I lived offgrid for over a year. These knives were used like hammers, hatchets & spades during that time. They were used for everything from fine work to chopping 4/5 inch logs, to digging fire pits and used as pegs to moor a 30ft riverboat. I never once had a chip or breakage. I had to regularly buff out burrs but no chipped edges. I still have these knives in great used condition. Schrade quality and control must have tanked in last few years cos I was surprised at how quick that frontier folded on joe.
