Spyderco Delica ZDP-189 vs. Benchmade Mini-Grip M390

[twid]

Hey guys I wanted to share my first attemp at doing video reviews. The first 2 are from my webcam and the sound doesn't quite match the video. Those 2 are just comparing each knife. The second 2 are better quality but kind of dark. Those are the cutting videos. Mostly for the knife newb that isn't interested (yet) or doesn't have the sharpening equipment (yet) to take full advantage of either steels best qualities. Nothing scientific, just comparing two factory knives against one and other to maybe help answer the common question, Delica or Mini-Griptillian?

twib reminds me of the 25 years i cut cardboard testing everything from factory to high dollar customs. sometimes the 40$ knife out preformed the 500$ knife. i started testing customs in the 70s, many of those early makers tried to heattreat blades in kitchen ovens. some of these primitive blades worked quite well.as you demonstrate cardboard cutting is lots of effort.
