Comparing a few smaller knives and a TIMOS- handmade knife (feature)

Great Videos! I hope you dont mind if I link them on my site.
Glad you are having fun with the knife!

Don't mind at all :thumbup: Your abused fingertips made a superior cutting tool. I admit, i usually use knives on tougher tasks that might destroy a blade like this, but those knives suck at general cutting chores in comparison to this. As i say in the video, ZDP might hold its edge longer against abrasive wear, but the knife it comes on doesn't hold a candle to yours for pure cutting geometry. I'm glad I snagged this one. Keep up the good work.

Very nice knife, tested it today and added it to my rope cutting thread.

Did very well, nice thin geometry. :thumbup:

Fine thread. I like knives this size & appreciate the work you put into your posts.
Its good to see a review of knives that have been used well & photographed well.
Thanks.

Thank you for reading and commenting :thumbup:
Here is a link to Jim's edge-retention thread where the knife performed above its class due to the excellent geometry: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...based-on-Edge-Retention-cutting-5-8-quot-rope

That thin geometry really helped a lot at .006" behind the edge with 15 DPS edge geometry. :thumbup:

Blade geometry can have a rather large effect on performance in my testing.

I have a few blades laying around with same geometry, I decided to use one of them to scrape and cut away some dried epoxy on another piece of steel and well, being that thin the edge chipped out in rather large chunks:/ It just cant handle much torque whatsoever. Ive gotta grind some cpm3-v that way and see how it does, I hear it has real good stability when very thin.

I for one would love to hear about the results of such an experiment :thumbup: However i doubt the difference would be substantial/noticeable if both blades are similar hardness and thinness. Was the scraper sharpened?

Not surprising being that thin.
