[stefan_wolf_ss]

Sorry about my bad english

Some cardboard cutting tests - they was made just for fun and information for bulgarian blade forum - "MetalBlade"
You can see 145 videos - unfortunately they are in bulgarian, and english anotation will take a lot of time, which I dont have.
The test is highly subjective - but you can easly see the way that blades going trough the cardboard and how dull are theyafter the test.

Hello Stefan,

I checked out your youtube playlist and I saw that you put a lot of effort and time into this, I thank you for that

As you made clear early in your post, the testing is subjective and I do believe that your results are unbiased. There are still many variables to make it standardized, but some of which may be trivia anyway.

I thank you again for your research

WOW! A "lot" of testing there. I'll have to come back to this thread when I have more time.
Thanks for posting these.

Interesting that BM Grip M4 is comparable to Resilience 8Cr13MoV. Both are above N390Co and VG10?

Can it be blade geometry?

Question, Did they really count the cuts on cardboard that many times? WOW, I'm sure it was hard to keep track of.
Also, According to your post, that Jukka Hankala big Tommi must be one heck of a knife.
