00:00All right, problem number one.
00:30The stitching on this thing from about there to about there was broken for some strange reason.
00:39So I have re-stitched the entire thing with bowstring.
00:46I think it's Dacron bowstring.
00:48So it's re-stitched and hopefully that'll last a lifetime.
00:54This is the Sanrenmu, or SRM if you wish, the S771.
01:04Supposedly, I think it's supposed to be 14C28N, I think.
01:12The edge was not horrible, but not great.
01:23I had to re-sharpen it.
01:25I can't remember what I sharpened it to.
01:29Maybe 1,000 grit, maybe 1,500 grit, I don't remember.
01:36It took a pretty nice sort of edge.
01:43Don't know what to tell you.
01:45Pretty sharp.
01:48I bought it because, quite simply, the pocket knife that I bought last year was really good.
01:59The first SRM that I got, that was good.
02:03So, I bought this one.
02:06Now, what I don't like.
02:10The grip, the way it's upswept like that.
02:13It just pinches just a little bit.
02:16My meat overhangs there.
02:18And my meat overhangs there.
02:21And she said I could have really used another 5mm.
02:25That's what she said.
02:27So, another 5mm would have been absolutely the cat's meow.
02:34What else I don't like is that they actually went to the trouble of machining that spine round.
02:43It's got a really nice curved and rounded spine on it.
02:48Which is absolutely, positively the last thing you want on a bushcrafty knife.
02:54You don't want that.
02:56Nothing.
02:59Absolutely nothing at all.
03:03Look at that.
03:05Absolutely a waste of time.
03:12Do not do that.
03:15What is wrong with a nice crisp 90 degree spine?
03:20I don't know.
03:21What the hell is wrong with that?
03:23Because most of us now, we are doing the ferro rod thing.
03:29Ferro rod thing.
03:32Any manufacturer that watches this?
03:34Ferro rod.
03:36Ferro rod.
03:38Okay.
03:3914c28n.
03:40The edge is 18 degrees per side.
03:41Okay.
03:42So that's a 18 degree edge.
03:43I've resharpened it.
03:44Factory might have been about 19 degrees.
03:45So I've tightened the bevel one degree per side.
03:47So now let's see what it can do on the rope.
03:54So now let's see what it can do on the rope.
04:24The gateway one.
04:25I've been vaccinated and it's a little bit of a quick.
04:27I'm waiting.
04:28Now let me know.
04:29I have to wait.
04:30I'm waiting.
04:31I'm waiting for a second.
04:32I have to wait.
04:33You know, I'm waiting for a second.
04:35I just I will ask you.
04:36I want to wait.
04:37I'm waiting for that.
04:38I'm waiting for you.
04:39I have to wait to see you.
04:40I'm waiting for you to know your next gig
04:42and you're ready for that.
07:13Yeah, I'd say we rolled that edge.
07:33So we rolled the edge pretty early, which is a little bit disappointing.
