Honestly I wish I had more friends that talked about carbides
This pretty much goes for anyone that watches this whole video
Love the battle of Los Angeles avatar 👊🏼
@@bluegreensubmarine thanks man!
I just wish I had more carbides that talked about my friends
@@theknifeconnection9571 same
This is amazing. Thank you.
Nick,
K390 vs cruwear on a PM2? I'm going to ceracote either blade so rust should not be an issue. I have to pick one for a general purpose EDC blade...
Thank you for sending me here, Nick!
This IS amazing
@@jlock9085 k390 for the win, cruwear has higher toughness but the pm2 already has a distal taper, not super thin so k390 should work really well
Definitely a gem.
I'm 40. If I learned everything like this, I would have made so many better life decisions
Don't be too hard on yourself. You play the hand you are dealt.
Don't be a puppet lol
47, grew up on Mr. Rogers' Neighbourhood, We mortals don't always have the strength to walk in that man's footsteps!
Also, while I always enjoy hearing Dr. Thomas pour out his expertise, seeing Trolley really got to me.
Don't live with regret, you most likely had very poor state teachers buddy, 👍🏻.
Often we don't know how long we have to live on this earth, so try your best to look forward and not look back and learn as much as you can and as much as you like as the human brain is a truly amazing! 👍🏻🤝🏻.
I shit my pants when Mr. Owl said, "I DON'T KNOW, IM A PUPPET!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You'll feel better once you clean up.
As a huge nerd who also happened to grow up in Pittsburgh watching Mr. Rogers (I ran into him on the street as a child!), and who has a strong affinity for low-budget/high-earnest nonsense, this absolutely made my day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Everything from 7 min onwords is just... stunning. A YEAR of bladesmithing education in 12 minutes. I paused a dozen times to digest your amazing presentation, which is of course an option we are supposed to take.
I am new to the blademaking world, but I have been an armchair enthusiast for ten years and more. This video was a revelation in how much I still have to learn. Magnificent.
Either you've not done any actual effort in trying or you are not very good at research and learning. You shouldn't need youtube videos to learn things, that's what children and illiterate adults do. Try opening a book. You could have learned everything here within a few hours on day 1 rather than a year later.
Your blog has been an invaluable resource to the community, however this is art, absolutely hilarious great work.
Perfectly put
@@comradesandwich9437 couldn't agree more
Definitely have to give the vid a like for Jessica having to suffer through a speech on carbides and potentially, having to also listen to talks about carbides about the home
She was very patient with Mr Owl
Woman of the Year Award
Lmao
@@leebelyeu8692 gracefully so
I know a couple of nice women who are experts on corrosion🙄
Dr. Thomas (and Ms. Jessica and Owl!), Thanks so much for this video and for all you do for the knife community! I LOVE MAGNACUT - IT'S SO AWESOME! 😎👍
For someone who is a big knife collector and user as well as who grew up watching Mr. Rodgers regularly - this video was so funny, creative, and educational all at the same time to me! Part of what made it so funny was how fast it went from very simple Mr. Rodgers land to "Whoa, hold-up, rewind, getting a bit complicated for me and I didn't catch that" (over and over)! I really appreciate that you take the time and effort to make such videos, maintain your website, and write your book (I plan to buy) so that we can all learn more details about the hobby so many of us out here enjoy! I also like that you included the technical details and tried to present it in a simpler format for us regular folk!
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and your work and to let you know that: YOU ROCK DR. THOMAS! May God continue to bless your work as a scientist with wisdom, knowledge, and discernment as well as bless your family with peace, love, and provision more than you can even ask or think!
Hi. I'm a Pittsburgh guy who just found your channel. My dad worked at the US steel lab in Monroeville and I'm a former steel worker myself who of course grew up on Mr Rogers and became a knife collector, a logical progression. I'm going to enjoy catching up on all of your videos I plan to spend the evening binging on knife steel nerds
I also work at US Steel research. It’s in Munhall now though.
Data-backed information is incredibly valuable, in light of the poor information and opinions posted in forums, etc. Really appreciate the time and effort put into producing this video.
To everyone else wishing they had someone to talk steel and carbides with, cheers!
Best video ever! Like ever. Thank you for pointing out the extreme toughness of lc200n, all the knife stores have its toughness lower than s30v 🤦♂️
A must watch for every knife enthusiast, the complex subject of edge retention by steel properties nicely explained in simple English. Larrin at his best, a breath of fresh air, listen to every word... As much as educational, it is entertaining. Thanks to men like Larrin life is good.
This is one of those videos that the people in the knife community should watch, no matter your experience
I have been promoting your blog for years and years, tirelessly. As a fellow principle investigator, it was absolutely a breath of fresh air to read a well cited, and scientific aproach to knife steel attributes. I went to your site initially for fact-based steel recommendations, and I came away with a deeper appreciation for metallurgy. You have done an amazing job promoting interest in your research, the field you work in, and science.
Never will I understand those few who put dislike for such a clever, clear, talented video. Putting dislike for this video is a clinical diagnosis of a deficiency, mental or spiritual or worse.
Mr. Owl was the unsung hero of today's lesson.. also whoever was playing the piano.. bravo!
You are the BEST! That was great. Good production AND educational. Shout out to Miss Jessica. Thanks Larrin. We appreciate everything you do. Keep up the work.
Best steel-explanation ever! I am saving this video to share to a friend every time they need a short crash course on steels types.
I'm a metallurgist. Had many metallurgy classes during my undergraduate. Closest course was about "Tool Steels", wish we could have had a class about knife metallurgy. I'm a life long learner and always eager to learn new metallurgy, and this topic is really informative
Huge eye-opener, it can so hard to get a sense of how different knife steels actually compare. This video is for sure going to become a point of reference for all knife steel debates for the foreseeable future, you've done the whole community a favor here. Thank you.
Bravo Knife Steel Nerds! Thank you for instructing us on this subject exploration is straight forward and lucid. So much to learn about metallurgy.
Quality content! Amazing and thank your Mrs for allowing herself to be featured! I hope both of you do this again!
Dude, you're my new favorite knife channel. Humor, mixed with knowledge, visuals and tests!
This is an amazing video! a wealth of knowledge in a simplified format! Please make more of these !
Oh my gosh. I have found my new favourite niche on the internet!!!! Love this, guys! Already a follower of Knife Steel Nerds through content on your site but only just found this on youtube. So awesome and perfectly hits my steel nerdiness and humour!
Dam that was both nostalgic and extremely fun and educational at the same time. Thank you .
FINALLY! Best and most thorough charts and explanations thus far in my, close to, fifty years of owning and using knives. THANK YOU.
This video makes me so happy. Thank you so much for all the work you put into the Mr Rogers omage
Great video! I am very happy to see new upload. I hope there will be much more.
That was an awesome video. It's very informative and great humor. Keep up the good work Larrin!!
Fantastic video. Love the cheeky Mr Rogers fun. I have been looking for a video like this that breaks down the different metals. Thanks for putting this together for us laymen. Really appreciate it.
That was amazing. Such a nice homage. Love the piano. That picture picture gag had me laughing hard. So informative. Thank you so much.
This is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to explain this all so clearly.
This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels on CZcams. Powder metallurgy info AND knives. My professional and hobby interests colliding.
Your knife engineering book is incredibly interesting and it is fantastic to have an extremely accurate, impartial, and well written text book that only concentrates on every aspect of steel, and not on brands of knives.
It's a wonderful book and you have provided a superb edification on steel.
Thank you Larrin :).
You mentioned that edge angle causes chipping, but so do manufactured burnt edges when they sharpen on grinders and belts without water being fed over them. Once you sharpen away the burnt edges your edge angle becomes better at resisting chips at that angle. But otherwise your correct 100% if there were no burnt edge. I say this because its very common in the industry and you yourself have written about this.
This was absolutely brilliant! Great job on both the information and the entertainment value!
How the hell have I only stumbled across you now?! This channel is amazing. All the info you search around and get marketing guff or subjective nonsense. Wow, thanks for this content. Love it.
Outstanding, I'm happy to support your work on Patreon.
Absolutely priceless . Thank you so much fire what you do for the knife community . I hope you keep this up
This is the best video on the Internet. I have had every steel question I've ever had. Great work!
Also: don't ever make her do some crazy one-take monologue! That was quite an assignment well executed.
Thank you so very much for your work!❤️ This is one of the most meaningful contributions to the knife discourse ever in history!
We love you, Dr. Larrin!!! Thanks for the great info & R&D! 😃
This is EXTRA funny because you're ACTUALLY my neighbor. 😂
This was amazing !!! Not only did I learn something I laughed . Great job I love your book and videos such a major help for knife makers!!!!
This is excellent, I hope for more content from you. I will for sure be telling people about your channel.
Thank you, all knife channels should link this in their notes
Outstanding presentation of very complex information. Thank you for being here.
Great work as always Larrin, thank you! I really hope this starts paving the way for online knife shops & 'experts' to stop spreading misinformation & actually educate folks with real facts & figures... (fingers crossed)
Cheers
Thanks Fred! I'm 82 and it's never too late to learn about blade steels! My kids used to watch your show when they were, kids!
Great video. Great learning resource. I live outside of Pittsburgh and used to work there. Mr. Rogers was a local favorite TV show when I was a kid.
I just want a clip of owl saying "what does that have to do anything?!"
New subscriber, awesomeness Larrin looking forward to binge watching this holiday season.
Blessings and Aloha from the Great Lakes USA (Michigan)
Thanks for the great content! I would love to get even more knowledge about the different knife steels and their properties!👍🏽
Very entertaining and highly informative at the same time. Wonderful job!
After watching and internalizing the whole 17-minute video, my main takeaway from it is that “knife steel snobbery” is half-baked. Steel snobs only ever judge a knife steel as superior based only in one key criteria: edge retention. I like CTS-XHP. Very well balanced. But there is always some idiot out there who will say it is trash because it doesn’t have as high an edge retention as the S110v.
Xhp is my favorite steel!
Personally, I don't care too much about the steel. If it's made by spyderco, it's good, and I buy it. Crucible, Maxamet, Elmax, doesn't matter. It's all good
I've always felt the same, that CTS-XHP's balance made it my steel of choice when procuring knives. So I guess what's cool about Magna is it appears to be a linear improvement in that exact direction. Awesome.
Absolutely agree. The only time I get snobbish is when Gerber or Kershaw tries to sell me a 7cr knife for $50.
I love this video🙂 watched it several times. Learn something new each time. Thank you Dr. Thomas!
Awesome content from an invaluable member of the knife community. I hope there's more where that came from.
Third video of yours I've seen today, will be ordering the book. Excellent information.
Excellent information. Thank you for breaking that down in a way I can share with new people.
Brilliant!! Thanks a lot for all the effort you put into this video.
Very well laid out. I'd like to see your version of this including various heat treating methods for some of the more popular steels and the final hardness and tempers effect on edge retention, wear resistance and toughness
i had fun and I learned some new things. Thanks for your effort Larrin!
This is SOOO very helpful for someone in his infancy of collecting and learning about pocket knives and steels. Thank you so much!
Awesome! .... You covered the steel blind spot for knife makers!!! I'm glad I bought your steel back in April
Holy cow that’s an amazing video. Outstanding effort and knowledge sir.
Awesome man I could watch an episode like this everyday
I appreciate the amount of work that was put in this.
So much love for this video, excellent neighborly insight!
Very entertaining! Makes all this metallurgical stuff more digestible. Thanks!
I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said. The information I got from the video is invaluable and I truly hope you guys continue to pursue the ever developing science of steel! Truly incredible!
This is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internet. Well done!!!
Great explanation. Feel like I learned so much in such a short video.
Thanks for the edutainment gentlemen, much appreciated! Sterling!
I know videos are far more work for you than blog posts on the site but thank you so much for making this. The regurgitation of opinion or straight misinformation is too common. So in this day of infinite information, which can be provided by anyone and accessible by everyone, true straight forward data and information is invaluable!
This was done with mad respect and great knowledge thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work in the steel industry. Without you, the world’s general knowledge of knife steel would be prehistoric compared to today. Keep following your passion and who knows what you’ll discover next!
My brotha this was the most amazing and informative video I’ve watched in such a long long time.. THANK YOU!!!! Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Explaining complex concepts in simple terms requires subject MASTERY. Home run.
So much fun and so much good info. Thanks for this!
This video was so informative, thanks for making this CZcams channel. I'm brand new to knife making with only two "whole" one week courses under my belt. I just wanted to buy some flat stock to practice and was immediately overwhelmed by the choices. I have no idea what I'm doing so this helped me a ton. I'll continue to practice with 1084 and 1090 to get better at forging, grinding, and heat treating, but just picked up your book to learn more about metallurgy. It's such a deep ocean of a subject and I know without a guide I'm going to get lost. The breakdowns I've seen on some metal stock websites make just a little more sense to me now. Well done.
Now, as a video production and animation professional with over 20 years of experience I have to say DON'T CHANGE A THING! Super entertaining, quirky in a good way, and fun to watch. My only critique would be Mr Own needs a microphone to not have so much room reverb. I LOVED that your wife read your script to the owl. She's such a good sport
My recommendation? Read over his site, in detail. So much information into things like grain refinement and how it improves toughness, quench speed for different steels, and of course so much information into knife steels themselves like heat treatment testing so you can choose where to start for your desired properties.
Excellent! Fascinating video, well done!
I've been reading and referrencing Z Knives' knife steel database for several years and your presentation put everything into context. Thank you.
Excellent video! Looks like the slopes at the beginning. Interested in seeing what the new carbon steel is that you mention in the wear/toughness chart.
Great video and thank you for these useful informations. well done
Hahaha,
Thank You Mr. Neighbor for the very informative talk. It was hard to watch without smiling. Nice to see you have a good sense of humor Doctor Thomas and thanks to the wife too, very cute. I have learned a tremendous amount about steel from your articles but will watch anymore vids you put out. It did fill a couple gaps.
I heard you were the backup to Tom Hanks for the movie and now I know why.
This is totally in line with the spirit of Mr. Rogers.
Congratulations to you and your wife, great job!
Very good video mate Magnacut has for sure impressed me the combined attributes. Its tough for outdoor use and has good edge retention and is very very stainless also.
this is the perfect mix of oddity and Pertinent information. Well done.
Charming and extremely informative!
I love this video Larrin, very inventive, well done!
Very nicely done! Great video production also!!!
Just discovered your channel. Love your work.
Metallurgy & material science is a big part of how we live; unfortunately, education is not pushed hard enough, people prefer to spend their time on conspiracy theories and other wasteless concepts and topics. Thank you for giving your time to educate others.
Keep it coming man. Nice work!
Love it! Cant wait to get my own Magnacut knife.
Thank you for this informational video. Helps me a lot
This is the best blade steel video ever produced. Simply excellent
Absolutely brilliant video I loved all the information and so happy to know I just bought a magna cut knife from Bradford knives looking forward to trying it out
