Thank you for citing the distinct differences.

Olight bundles a tripod for only $1 extra during their current sale.

Regardless of the specifics and details, the biggest disappointment with AR-RPM9 has been it's performance. I own 3 knives in this steel, and have been underwhelmed - performance-wise - by all of them. I will not buy any more.

I prefer to think you ruined science for this knife. Priorities.

Amazing video. So informative and impressed with your knowledge

You were right that their incompetence was the issue, which I certainly think isn't as damning as outright lies. For what artisan charges for their knives, which generally have pretty good actions versus "bad China" knives, I'd say if their marketing matched reality, they still are producing knives way better than Gerber crap that has worse steel, worse actions, and worse QC.

👍✌️⚒️

I love how including unwanted byproducts in the metal is what contributes to it being false advertising. Quality control be damn, just don’t mention what’s not intentional. That way you’re “not” lying….😂

True Wootz (The legendary one) is made from an ore found only in Jordan, which was exported to Damascus Syria centuries ago and had a certain content only that Jordanian ore has. Saladin used it for his armies weapons which really helped the Muslims take back Jerusalem during the Crusades. This is the famous steel with the perfect iron ore content which made swords and knives of that time so sought after. The true Wootz Damascus. I am lucky enough to have two of those swords and both have the makers mark of which i am trying to research now.

Have to thank you for your videos over the years but once you came up with your own product you should have moved on and stopped episodes like this or at least thrown a disclaimer. You are no longer independent. Also “false advertising” is a legal, if there is no specific language that can pointed to in court it does not become false advertising. As one other person pointed out it may be a translation problem. Finally, and this is something I’ve noticed with lots of UA-cam influencers, it doesn’t appear you made any attempt to contact Artisan Cutlery and share your findings with them. This is what professionals do. If they don’t respond then just say you received no comment from them. Also you might want to run your statements past an attorney. Maybe Crucible will cover it.

Are powder steels ones made through 3d printing? This is great stuff!

I really really love your videos man, what a nice talk you make me laugh like a child, i love the challenge science vs marketing, totally busted🎉🎉🎉❤❤

Great video. Ive been a "knife guy" my whole life. Ive always been skeptical of 8Cr13 in favor of AUS-8 for any production knife under $60. My primary experience with 8Cr is in the (semi)newer Kershaw knives, and I have never owned one that the blade tip didn't break off under normal use. Ive been super curious about its makeup for years, its cool to finally see how it performs. Seems like Kershaw just does a less-than-ideal heat treat on it. ill stick with my Spyderco Para or Onatrio Rat folder(if you can find them now)

Love it. Do you export to South Africa?

Dr Thomas we appreciate ur humbleness but no matter what we support u over any other metallurgist. U are our guy to the end.

Wootz steel has to have a certain percentage of Vanadium and other metals in it, because what Saladin had mined was around the area of Damascus, which had trace amounts of Vanadium in the iron ore.

I could tell by the original post that it was a garbled chinese translation. Why are you even reviewing chinese knives/steel to begin with?

I ty to avoid chinese made products as much as possible
