You didn't put 14c28n on your steel list. My favorite budget steel. A $30 Ruike p801 performed as well as most of the cut tests with M390 did. Think about that for a minute. Cruwear has quickly climbed my list of favorite steels too..easy to sharpen, takes a nice fine edge, holds it well, and responds great to a strop. It's not fully stainless, but it really doesn't stain easily..less so in fact than D2, at least in my experience. Definitely not any worse anyway. Cool video though, and great idea. Nice to see what matters most to the bulk of the community. I fall in line with most of it myself. Thanks for doing it!

Timbo437 Completely agree. You basically took the words right out of my mouth. Ha. The Swedish steels like 14C28N, 12C27, etc. according to various youtubers that do cut testing outperform D2 by miles, and if well done, can outperform other steels that are considered much more “premium”, but that aren’t heat treated or tempered correctly because they’re apparently much more finicky with much less wiggle room for error.

When you get into the minutiae of knife making it gets complicated. So many choices. My two favorite knives in my collection are the same model from the same maker with different blade styles and different scale materials. Both are full customs made with a steel that is not on your list: AEB-L. When I read up on the steel it can have a wide variety of finished quality depending on its manufacture, heat treatment, etc. ...I have not approached the knife-maker regarding this choice of steel, when it appears that there seem to be so many touted "better" steels for custom knife making. That said...I am happy with the performance of the knives. I just love them in hand.

Great video brother. Been anxious to see the results myself. That being said, there weren’t a whole lot of surprises in my estimation. Only real surprise was that 2 people actually care enough about lanyards that a knife must have a spot for one. Ha. Don’t get me wrong, I actually have lanyards on 5 or 6 of my knives, but it’s mainly because I was bored at some point and decided to throw one on. Ha. Unless it’s a very small knife where a lanyard can actually help with purchase, the only benefit from them that I see is that it’s basically just a customization avenue to make that particular knife more unique and more “yours”.

No blade play is huge for me though it is still rare and almost unattainable, centering is also very important but not as much. I like thumb-studs, though my fave is probably a capsule-shaped thumb hole. For locks, I've grown disenchanted with framelocks: they fail much too often and are inherently unsafe, linerlocks not too much better. I prefer the Axis-type or a nice Tri-lock. Snappy but not hard detente, a good rounded clip (and coverings) for comfort during hard use, and I like a little lockstick, it tells me the two faces are connecting. Better that than slip or play.

very interesting spread of data there...we can see the community preferences and expectations pretty clearly im glad someone else wanted a lanyard hole :)

Who were the 25% that don’t care in the 75-150 range if the detent holds the knife closed? That’s odd to me, or does that mean a gravity flick open situation? (I was picturing a knife just opening on its own)

should have had a category for basic heat treatment, above average or custom level heat treatment.

Lanyard holes and holes for lefty-clips are the 2 things I hate seeing on a knife. The aesthetics of most knives are ruined by these things.
