Edge Retention Test! - Ganzo G727M 440C vs Ontario Rat 1 AUS-8 Steel (part-1)

Part 1- Ontario Rat 1, AUS-8 steel, V edge with 19.5° per side angle, 1500 grit diamond stone, stropped with 4 µm cubic boron nitride emulsion. Part 2: Ganzo G727M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV0QlHFoVkg Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuPFlw8OTH4 We picked up some new cutting material, some 1/2in thick sisal rope, that should prove to be very hard on knife edges as well as easier to manage a measured amount of cutting. (similar to jdavis882's old cutting tests) We have before and after looks at the edges under microscopic magnification and put each knife to the test of cutting 8' sections of sisal rope into 1in sections. This is not really a test of which knife is better, nor is this all that scientific but it should give us a good idea of each steel performs when subjected to roughly the same test with roughly the same edge geometry. This will also be Frankie and I's first test of the Ganzo 440C steel which should have decent edge retention and at least in that sense outperform the AUS-8 steel. Thanks for joining us, be sure to check out part 2 and give us a quick like before you go! -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Do we have too many knives?
