@@gnosisrisingbushcraftorgan2273 , yes I know. I was going to purchase a BK2 but did my research and found out they skeletonized the handles. There is a video of a guy breaking his, albeit he was hammering on it. So instead I purchased the Ontario 1/4" 5160 steel RD6 and RD Tanto. I got them from TKC and not Made in China, invested in China Amazon. Paid a little bit more but happy to support those guys. The Ontario RD6 and RD Tanto have solid handles with no material cut out of that 5160. They are pretty indestructible and I now pair them with a good 'ole Buck 110 drop point. The ease of sharpening that BOS 420HC and Ontario's 5160 in the field is why. Spent too much on collecting 'super steel' knives over the years which was pointless.

I hate the word cheap because has the connotation that everything low cost is garbage, that won't do the job. You could use the same word for 429HC that Buck uses and guys have been using that steel in the woods for years. yes I know Buck has a great heat treat process but that does not mean others don't. The guy that developed the process has his own company and markets his services. In fact 8cr is slightly higher in carbon than 429hc they are about the same in Chromium , both will take a hardness at similar levels. I am an older guy from a time we held a buck knife in high esteem to have in the hunting camp, Yes the new alloys are wonderful, do you want them? yes, Do you need them? no. will you really notice much difference maybe in edge holding But then that $499.99 dollar blade may sit at home in the collection while you take your 429HC or 8cr steel knife and use the hell out of it.

Great comment. It’s literally all marketing 8cr is a great working steel for the money and I think they know that so they try to talk down about it so that people will think it’s junk and want to buy something more “premium” that’s what I’ve observed. I have a crkt squid that I’ve carried for a year and I used it for everything from cutting open bags of mulch, thick plastic packaging, foam, garden hose and my dad even used it to cut out a root that was in the way of a project. After a year of constant use it still shaved hair, and I haven’t properly sharped it once all I did was strop it every once in a while and touched it up a couple times on a field sharp ceramic hone.

Blade HQ - Looks very cold! We’re glad the storm didn’t roll in too badly and the trip worked out! Thank you for taking a look at the most common steels CRKT utilizes in the majority of our knives (8Cr13MoV, 8Cr14MoV). For the fans and customers out there that are curious, CRKT does offer other steels as well depending on the models (SK5, 1.4116, AUS 8, 12C27, etc.). Typically a few factors are considered when CRKT selects a steel including performance, cost, value, supply, and best use. Since the majority of our knives are designed to be used in your everyday lives, the 8Cr’s perform well and provide a good value. Stay safe out there and thanks again! Really enjoyed the video!

In fact none of the steels you listed are particularly expensive, I understand from a business standpoint that you use these steels to maximize your profits but despite some great designs I just can’t bring myself to purchase them. A good example is the Clever Girl, I’m just not going to pay $80 at the lowest price I can find on the Internet for what is basically 1080 steel. Given the high quality of knives with better steel coming out of the manufacturers in China some of which I suspect are OEM suppliers for your company and other American-based knife companies makes it hard to spend my money on your brand.

That's not how hardenablility works. Carbon isn't the sole material that attributes to a steel's maximum reachable hardness. Take 3Cr13MoV. It only has 0.3ish% carbon but it also has 13% chromium which is also a contributing factor to hardness along side Vanadium which is a carbide former. If you heat treat that steel PROPERLY you can get it to act almost like stainless 5061 in large cutting tools. It won't have the fatigue life of a true spring steel but that's a different attribute for and entirely different application. I have video somewhere of me testing one of the original SCHMBS prototypes by bending it past 45° and it returning to true. You can't do that with mild steel.

I have a 7cr13 knife as a daily pocket knife. It's not my high carbon bushcrafting knife, but I get weird looks when I carry my badass woodsmans knife lol. The benefits of low carbon steel (as I'm sure you know) are many! corrosion resistance, cost efficiency, and it's easier to find things to sharpen your blades with (the bottom of ceramic plates, car windows, rocks, etc). It's also less taxing on your whetstones, files, or diamond plates (whatever you use to sharpen your gear in the field) It also allows you to refine your sharpening ability. If you have an inconsistent sharpening angle on your blade, you will be able to notice the loss of performance on a cut test. This allows the sharpener to correct the second bevel in a much quicker time, than super steel blades :) Best of luck brother God bless

Kind of a sidebar here: After a lifelong use of blade steel (60 years), owning and using a great many top makers products and making knives for myself and others...what I’m excited to see is the fairly recent acceptance of D2 into a widely available moderate cost blade steel. It used to be popular and considered a pretty high end steel but got pushed aside by the emergence of the crazy good powder steels. But more and more I see D2 offered as one of the basic steel choices by commercial makers. Even the Chinese knife community is selling really well made knives with properly treated D2. My only problem with D2 is that deep down I like A2 better. Bark River knows A2 well and do it right. Hmmm. Maybe I should cut back on the caffeine. This looks like a case of “Help me I’ve fallen and I can’t shut up.” 😆

Hey Ben, I would most likely take the gear up to Mt Bachelor in Central Oregon and spend the night either near the base or by one of the many lakes. That said I might even take it down to Cater Lake. I love to see other people that are not bothered by the snow! As long as you have a hot fire, good friends, and cold beer its a good camping trip!

I've got quite some experience over the years and I have to say that D2 is my absolute favorite. In my experience it even outperforms S35VN. S35VN or S30V might hold that fine razor edge a bit longer but once you go past that point these steels are pretty much dull because the edge rolls over while D2 just gets kinda rough and cuts even more aggressively. On my stainless blades I've got a lot more dull spots than on the ones with D2. Maybe CPM-D2 is even better but I haven't tried that one yet.

D2 makes a good blade steel but has very little latitude in heat treat in contrast to many other cutlery steels. Tight quality control is crucial to optimize this steel An issue with the plethora of cheap Chinese D2 is heat treating hundreds to thousands of blades simultaneously in large rooms reduces oversight ability. High variability of great to poor D2 of the same model knife is quite common with cheap Chinese blades. Budget priced blades stamped D2 is a game of hit or miss if the blade is a performer. However, higher tiered and more expensive Chinese brands do have good quality control. Main aspect, just because stamped D2, doesn't necessarily indicate a great performing blade.

I can't believe people still believe 8Cr13MoV is bad... It's not S35VN that's for sure, but the steel can be surprisingly good if heat treated well, which a lot of companies actually do.

Buahahaha, now that I call a smart move))) Of course 8cr has its application, its ok for outdoors, when you cut not so fibrous materials, like wood etc, but try to cut a lot of cardboard or rope with it. And for the crkt its a question of sales structure, if they want to adress steel snobs, who own more than 50 knives each and buy every new model they like its one thing, got to get better steels. Guess 80% of bladehq audience are steel snobs more or less. If they want to sell through wallmart its ok, no one will know anyway, if its stainless its ok))) The main question which part of the market is bigger, guess its major population, who knows about the knives that they can be sharp and dull and they cut groceries)))

I've always thought it was a decent steel and really like the fact that it's really easy to resharpen. The tasks I have for my knives are really light duties (open mail, open packages, cut zip ties, cut cardboards, fruits, etc.) and I find 8cr sufficient. I have a few 8cr's and is totally stoked when I get something a little more premium i.e. 154cm. Lol...

I would, though, use the fixed blade at work, cutting small branches and stuff on the fly. Been looking for one. I'd use the saw and hatchet for when my family and/or girlfriend and I go down to the beach at Lincoln City, Oregon to make a good campfire for some Smores and filling hot dogs.

Imagine living as a trapper in the 19th century, literally living and working every day in an enviroment you go for a few days hiking. Those people had verry simple but sturdy knifes and axes. This people had neither the time nor the knowledge to discuss steel. I think the most important would be an edge that is easy to sharpen, that would not break and has a good grip that won't break. And this are the same parameter I choose my knifes from.

I say that the worst knife steel is either unhardenable mild steel or hardenable steel that has been improperly hardened and tempered, if at all, resulting in a knife like object that is, depending on the material and its treatment, too soft to take, much less hold, an edge or so brittle that it's impractical. Premium steel can fail spectacularly if it hasn't been properly heat treated and tempered.
