Entertaining perhaps, but not credible according to your own standards. :D ;)

"JB, a test that is not done in a scientific manner is simply not a credible test.

That's common knowledge and cannot be refuted." said BG!
 
You'd really like to blow a smoke screen to haze over the fact that the S30V edge deteriorated badly after chopping a small amount of wood.

:D

Won't do you any good.....that's one fact you can't deny. It's right there on the film.......now THAT can't be refuted.

I really can't speak for his scientific method since I haven't seen any of his other tests......I'll take a look and let you know.

Maybe we'll find even more interesting and educational info.

:D

Talking about a fart blowing in the wind...again. Knives are made to cut things, not to chop wood!

You keep loosing in this battle to put down S30V. What makes me roll my eyes is your constant put down of each of the folks who have posted their real life use of these knives in the field for there intended purpose...to cut things, like flesh. Your constant reference to total abuse of a knife to make your point is nothing short of ridiculous. I am starting to find your garbage in this thread to be entertaining. Foolish, but, humorously entertaining. Now where is that box of popcorn...LOL;)

Who did I "put down," JB?

You're starting to sound a little desperate with your wild accusations now. I'm going to report your post, since it violates the rules.

Try to stay on topic and remember we're discussing the use of S30V in large, general purpose knives......we're not discussing me.

;)

Here you go BG,

My hunting stories are documented on film....now are they credible for you? Of course not, you were not there at the time to see it with your own eyes, or did i need to chop down a tree or two before I used my knife? You are the only one in this whole thread who makes no sense and has no credible reference to back your points.

When the guy starts out, he seems to aim directly at a knot ( the hardest part) in the 2 x 4. When he chops through the 2 x 4 (including the knot) he says something like "not a large chopper but not bad". He then batons it down through a 4 x 4 directly through another knot and then a second and says something on the order of "not bad".
 
I repeat.....JB.

The knife in question is the 124. The knife you're using is a 110......which is not a large, general purpose knife.

So you think the test is invalid because the S30V lost its edge when it had to go through two knots in a piece of wood?

Perhaps a test with cottage cheese would be more appropriate for that big bad military chopper??

:D
 
Just making the point that the chopping was not just through a "small amount of wood" as posted earlier. It was through (twice) what is the hardest part of any wood. Hell, I've chipped the blades on wood chisels and knocked off the cutting edges of many drill bits just trying to get through knots in construction grade fir on the job.
 
Very cool pics jb4570. I would like to have the opportunity to test a 124 in S30V. An AG 124 of any steel would probably not turn out to be a regular production run knife but more of a limited run knife. That being said again, I think an AG 124 would be very cool.

You are the one who keeps drifting off topic. The video you keep referencing is not a 124, so don't call me out on what you yourself are doing. In each of my posts it's about the topic you are bashing AG S30V. Even my documented field use shots are of an AG S30V. Also, you should take notice that I am using the tool for it's intended purpose for me "Cutting Flesh".

Hi Sudo,

Sorry for helping to drift your thread. An AG S30V 124 with the gloss black coating would make a fantastic looking knife. I bet it would be a hit with most of us real use in the field folks.

Would you regard batoning five times through nice dry wood with TWO knots as A LARGE AMOUNT of wood and overly rough and unfair testing of the edge of a big military chopper?

Face it......S30V appears to be suited for smaller knives used for cutting flesh (not bone or other hard substances).......just as I've been telling you all along.

But we'll never get to test a 124 in S30V because Buck will not make one.......obviously they know it wouldn't work.

I'd like to discuss this without all the off-topic comments and love to hear some input from Buck about it (because I'd love to see a 124 AG, just like Sudonym).

:)
 
If Buck would like to weigh in, the forum moderators can re-open this thread.

Personally, I have had enough of the harassment by BG42EDGE constantly reporting other people for what he has been instigating himself. Sorry, guys. If you want a discussion to stay on topic, you may have to learn to put someone on Ignore rather than constantly bickering.

Personality conflicts are just not fun for moderators to work around.
