Hey guys and gals...I was pretty bored today so I decided to watch the cold steel "proof" video today once again, lol...If you don't know what that is, well its just a video showing their knives, swords, and other products, and how good they perfom...Anyway I thought I would try one of the tests myself on a cheapo knife...I tried the bottle test, where they cut a 2L bottle filled with water in half...I am a folder guy myself so I dont own any fixed blades big enough to cut a 2L bottle in half...but I did manage to dig out an old Frost Cutlery bowie I got about 5 years ago for $10 at a flea market...I boguht this knife to have a cheap larger knife...but I never used it, not once...My 1st attempt was a failure, I knocked the bottle across the table and hardly scratched the plastic, and that was with the factory edge...but about 5 minutes on my sgarpmaker and I was back to try again...Here are my results...If anything this should be a commercial for the sharpmaker...lol, too bad I deleted the failed attempt before sharpening the knife...This blade is 440C...
I would like to point out I am not trying to poke fun at Cold Steels videos, because I actually do enjoy watching them, I just wanted to try this myself, and I can't afford to buy a side of beef for cutting tests so I had to go with the 2L soda bottle, lol...ENJOY!
