00:12okay uh you had a tech lock i hate tech locks i've had enough of those so it's got this
00:21sort
00:21of uh clip on it now so you know inside your waistband or inside your belt you know like that
00:30and then lock it in uh not too heavy the blade is reasonably thick
00:46does this thing have a name no it doesn't have a name uh it's got some sort of an eye
00:56on it
01:01but it is what i was very surprised to find a convex edge
01:09okay so that edge is convexed and the factory edge was very average so i did
01:23sharpen it just a little bit because uh it was so average
01:39oh come on
01:45so i have maybe about as sharp as i would want a convex edge to be
01:54uh personally i'm not a big fan of convexed edges because compared to a standard edge you get about
02:03uh 50 percent edge retention which is a perfect opportunity to find out what the edge retention
02:12is on this and to see what a standard edge does steel supposedly supposedly very much dc53
02:23uh i've got to say it looks very nice feels nice indexes nicely in the hand uh it's got a
02:31very slightly
02:32rounded spine it's not 90 degrees i wish it was ah but in any way it's uh overall looks nice
02:44they've
02:45someone's put a lot of effort into making this into a nice knife or at least looks nice and feels
02:53nice
02:54how it performs that's what we're going to find out
03:22so
03:27so
03:30so
03:35I'll see you next time.
04:29So, let's get started.
04:50Oh, you can see the drag picks up.
05:04I'm going to call that a fail.
05:10Let's see what happens on the quick and dirty wood strut.
05:16Oh, that's too difficult to use.
05:19This one.
05:43Oh, that's too difficult to use.
06:03Looks like it's suffered a deformed apex.
06:23Okay.
06:24Okay.
06:28That has got a 18 degree edge on it now.
06:35Done to 1500 grit diamond.
06:53Nice and sharp.
06:5618 degrees.
07:01So, let's see what happens at 18 degrees.
07:04I think the convex was 300.
07:07I think.
07:09Not 100% sure, but I think it was 300.
07:12So, let's see what the edge...
07:35...and it's just a little bit of a bit of a fish.
07:35I think the edge of the fish is still a little bit of a bird.
07:36I think it's just a little bit of a fish.
07:40I think it's just a little bit of a fish.
08:12I don't know.
08:17Oh, that's why.
08:18That's why.
08:18That's why.
08:19That's why.
08:19I'm not sure.
08:20You're not sure.
08:21You're not sure.
08:21You're not sure.
08:22You're not sure.
08:27That's why.
08:28Which means he's talking to anyone that's watching this.
08:34Possible.
08:35Possible.
08:36Possible.
08:59Of course.
09:10If there's no more reason.
09:10I got a little bit in here.
09:10So.
09:10I agree.
09:33yep got some wear and tear right there we're going to call that a fail
09:42so let's see if it's a deformed apex
10:11oh that is really really slicey so it looks like around 300 350 we are deforming the apex
10:32so i'll have to put
