  • Utility blade knife sharpness test: blade edge integrity and frictional loss using cardboard, drywall, copper pipe and staple. Stanley, Stanley carbide, DeWalt Carbide, Milwaukee, Masterforce, Craftsman, Lenox, Husky, Kobalt, Hyper Tough, and Irwin tested. I highly recommend 2 blades, one for value and the other stands out as the best but it does cost the most.

    This test is absolutely accurate. I am constantly using blades at work from cutting jackets and sheathing off of copper or fiber optic cables, to sharpening carpenter pencils. I have probably used every blade out there, I can honestly say that I have stuck with the new DeWalt Carbide due to me not having to change it out as often. I was impressed with the Milwaukee at first but I noticed the chipped edges came up a lot. Watching this video I was able to make accurate calls on which blades were going to outperform others and this test was spot on lol.

Chromium carbides are only one possible carbide, you also have vanadium, tungsten...none of them worth anything if the steel has a junk heat treatment!

    So not even a minute in and I can already tell this is going to be a good comparison, the fact Project Farm has decided to use an actual sharpness tester instead of just newspaper really says how much effort he's put into the video straight away. All newspaper is good for testing is whether or not the edge is the right angle for cutting newspaper, once a blade gets used, that "perfect" edge starts getting lost and cutting paper doesn't give the information you actually want.

Then I would see a few sparks shoot out the exhaust and with little toad legs v etc. It was awesome and a bit cruel. But done in the name of science.

      Yeah Stanley didn't win but the standard are the best bang-for-the-buck, I use Stanley standard because they sell them everywhere and they're cheap. I haven't tried the FatMax carbide blades.
