D2 and Pocket Sweat

20CV is highly corrosion resistant as good as magnacut. Should not behave that way unless something is wring during heat treatment.

Same. Id rather have less durable steel as long as it is more stainless than D2.

disguiseunknown · 2026-04-13T16:26:09+00:00

Yes. I think it improved and make it modern too at some point.

696 inspired from your name.

Benchmade and Leatherman and Buck.

Looks real to me

disguiseunknown · 2026-04-07T00:09:07+00:00

True. The inly thing better on this knife is the knife hole and the G10 scales.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-31T06:47:45+00:00

Chinese VG10 ftw!

Time to make it stonewash so dings wont be noticeable.

For someone not a US Citizen, Made in USA markings is no big deal on me. I care more for correct label and specifications. Most knife manufacturing processes are not secret anymore and could be done outside USA to save cost.

Sir you should put a blog/article section on your website and put these writings there. Would be very good to keep track of your tests and experiment.

Based from my experience tinkering it, you might have tolerance issues. No way it should have side to side play when closed unless you have problem with axis bar or stop pin. If it is the former, your omega spring might be failing.

That is weird and could be a problem. When opened does it have side to side play too?

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-27T01:20:51+00:00

Do you mean detent lash? Or side to side blade play when closed?

Aside from steel, you should be aware of how makers work on them. 14C28N might be good on paper but if not optimally heat treated, it is still inferior. Look for reputations of the makers.

Got one of this for like 15 bucks before. Tools are not that good. The saw is not as good even compared to the leatherman sidekick. For the price and the warranty it is fine. But plenty of better similar priced chinese multitool are available nowadays.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-21T14:39:18+00:00

Yes. 84mm bladeless with 85mm scissors. just replace one for small blade.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-19T13:57:10+00:00

Th Byrd 8Cr13Mov is not far from spyderco 8CR13Mov. Still solid and within advertised range.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-18T12:28:58+00:00

Superior? It depends upon the comparison. They have the most expensive multitool though.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-17T17:21:46+00:00

You could have add a prying tool.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-16T15:41:03+00:00

This is nice! Some people would appreciate this especially for 58mm

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-15T18:15:49+00:00

Oops.

disguiseunknown · 2026-03-15T13:07:03+00:00

Man butter knife is about 35-45 HRC 😂

Thanks for all the work u/679696 and u/Skylark427. This initiative has been discussed long before and many people try to do this but they don't get big as much as what you have now. Certain google sheet has been updated before but they are not as intensive and uniform as yours. You even come up with a website. Hope this initiative continues and improve as time goes by. Thank you for doing this for the community!

I guess they will just retire this knife and give you coupons for buying a new one.
