VG-10 is one of my favourite steel too. In my camping and hunting experience is one of the more rust resistent steel in use and keep the edge for very very long time. Few steel can do the same!

@equitably you've obviously never left a knife outside in a wet environment, my leatherman wave was just about unusable after only 1 day left on wet grass
idk if its me but my cold steel kobun in aus 8 can slice better then my endura 4 ffg vg10 i sharpen both knives equally but idk if hallow grind slices through certain materials than full flat ground or maybe im just going crazy but i seem to put a sharper edge on my kobun than my endura
There's a vid on youtube where a dude put a bunch of different knives in a tub of water for over 24 hours. This was one of the knives he put in. None of them really rusted after 27 hours besides a very high carbon custom knife. He then added a ton of salt to the water and after about 5 hours he saw just a hint of discolorization on the tip of the Delica which he wiped off with his finger. The other knives had more rust or about the same. So rest assured that VG10 is very rust resistant.
@TaskForceSixTwoSix yes because when you put a steel underwater it doesnt rust as fast as if you put it on snow because underwater is less air to react with the water and the steel to build rust
@TaskForceSixTwoSix that's a much better test then an "overnight in the snow" test.. Don't want to sound like a troll, but this video's testing is pretty useless..
i got my delica 4, black blade, wet in rain camping and it got rust spots all over. wiped of and is fine now other than some darker black spotting, surprised nothing happened to yours.
i left my victorinox climber outside the all winter by mistake. and guess what, No Rost! i dont know how to show u guys that im not lying but just trust me. probebly the best rost restistant steel i ever seen on the internet and in real life

does any of you guys oil you knife blades with gun oil? i messed one of gerberknife in salt water then i went home and oiled it and i looks better. so i oil all my blades, i wonder if thats good or bad.
@bocephus1996nein yeah has has said in one of his vids and talked about it. He uses rem oil which is fairly common. also you can use vegetable oil for kitchen knives
Well done Nutn... I've been checking out knives online for ages & finally found a spyderco I like. The specs said the steel was VG10 & me being a total noob had no idea if that was good or bad. Quick search on the nutnfancy video upload list & now I know. Thanks for your great efforts... much appreciated.
@veitchy88 Its a zip tie mod for faster deployment. Check out our friend Cr0cket20, he has a video on how to do it, titled "Spyderco Tenacious - Making your knife different". Its a great, easy mod. -- Veri
@nutnfancy Spyderco considers the "Zip-tie Mod" as a for of tampering with the product with the intent to damage it. Your warranty is voided if you do this. 'Modders' beware.
@Kylef7735 Actually, when I sent my Spyderco Dodo back, they saw that I had been using a zip-tie as a method for faster deployment and would not repair the spring.
@Kylef7735 They could see the scratch marks, and slight indents it made into the steel on its edges (the width of a ziptie) and could tell. They could also see the unusual abuse to the spring that it cause.
It's a cheap, DIY version of the waved Spydercos. Some people call it a "ghetto wave". The waved blades and the zip ties will grab the edge of your pocket and open the blade as you pull the knife out.
@veitchy88 veri is right but as cutlerylover calls it its "the poor man's wave" and the wave is a hook at the front of some spyderco models that opens it as you are withdrawling it from your pocket
@wmc1982 He's been married like 22 years (something like that) with two children. His wife and kids are in a few of the videos.. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

ummm yeah thats great the knife didnt rust but if you take proper care of your shit you shouldnt have any troubles with damn near any kind of knife steel
Leave it in a sweaty pocket in the south east after eating mexican food with a lot of jalpenos on a 105 degree July day.The acidic sweat will rust carbon pocket knives like Case or Shrade in less than 8 hours.My VG 10 Spydies wont rust quickly as Aus 8.
@shanehey H1 has incredible corrosion resistance, but since it is a non martensitic, work hardened steel, it initially is incredibly soft, and will actually dent (not just roll) from heavy use. I prefer X 15 TN to H1 any day.
@shanehey Unfortunately my tasman salt has seen a decent amount of use, and has not held its edge well. I still have a big divet in my blade after cutting zipties off of a bundle of metal chairs. The blade slipped, knicked the chair, and put a deep dent in the blade. However, for a light use knife to go along with fishing tackle, H1 all the way.
Yeah sorry should have said also put another knive beside it and let it rust for a week with the VG-10 knife. Then look how good VG-10 is compared to the other steel (any steel you want to compare it with). After this weak it would be interesting to which degree both knife rusted or only one...
But yeah now we know that 8CR13MoV isn't as good as VG-10 but who doesn
@LordChrisHimself I used to race sailboats from March to November. Constantly being sprayed all day, 5 days a week by salt water, for months on end. It would quickly ruin lesser knives. I ended up with a gerber dive knife that still needed regular maintenance. You asked why, and that is my personal example. I know its definatly not your average wear and tear situation.
@LordChrisHimself. I am aware of that. But this was 10 to 14 years ago in high school. Even if the salt series was available back then, it would be out of the price range of the average high school kid. I was simply responding to your comment "Why would you leave your blades wet for a month". I was just saying some knives stay wet. So it is nice to see a test like that. I got the impression you were implying that kind of stuff doesn't happen. Thats all.
@bfgguns If someone is the type of person that leaves their knife out in the weather for a week or month in the weather then I doubt ur the kind of person that needs to be worrying about having a vg10 steel spyderco.
@crownroyal111 It's not about leaving the knife out to rust. It's about trekking in rough conditions for some time, using your knife heavily and not having the oportunity to take care of your knife properly. That what 'bfgguns' was talking about.
The nutnfancy leave in the snow test was pointless: VG10 is a stainless steel which means it will NOT rust no matter how long you leave it out in the snow. LMFAO!
@CavalerVlah Stainless does not mean that it will "never rust" it means it will Stain LESS, think of it as 2 words (not being a dick here it's just a very common misconception) Stainless steels, even the best, will rust eventually.
@CavalerVlah I think your statement about stainless steel not rusting shows your experience level. Many many different steels labeled "stainless" will rust. It just depends on the level of abuse. This actually is an ok test, although not great. I have had many a tool rust when it was labeled stainless. Even a leatherman and they are very good tools!
@84SuperDom Wow! I know that very well when i posted my comment, i also presumed (wrongly, looking at your statement) that most people watching videos like these will know something about steels. Of course stainless steel will rust away but we're dealing with VG-10 brand which is THE ultimate knife-making stainless steel at the moment. I presume you know that they have a very low decaying rate.
So... that's why i said the test of leaving a VG-10 out in the snow overnight is pointless.
@bfgguns It will not rust no matter how long you leave it in the snow. VG10 is a top grade stainless steel (perfected by the japs and they keep the fabrication process and the recipe under wraps until recently).
VG10 steel is the choice steel for knives atm. It has a high carbon content which gives a very good edge retention, having anti-corrosive properties and very tough.
If 'nutnfancy' had dropped me a line I would've saved him a trip up in the mountains to test how the knife fares in snow!
wicked scenery Nutn! I would ask where it is but I know you don't give away your spots! Always like seeing Allie the mountain dog in your vids :) Keep up the work mang
@avador22 It's so it catches on your pocket and deploys the blade as you pull it out. It's pretty cool and you can do it on anything with a Spyderhole
@LordChrisHimself not only on a knife with spyderhole i have a normal folder knife with a thumbstud after watching this vid i was thinkin it maybe would work on a thumbstud , and it does ! the only thing is u need to carefully choose thickness on your ziptie so it fits between the stud and your knife and pull it as tight as u can , might need pliers to do that tough ... but it works and i'm happy ! :-D
@no1livez4evr Should be able to find it at pretty much every hardware store. Should just be around the other metal polish and its only like five bucks for a bottle.
I'm not surprised at all. I had a VG-10 all steel Police (fully serrated) when I was in the Marines. When I was in SOI, (School of Infantry) we went to the field for two weeks. Police came with me. It got a lot of good use, but more importantly, it rained and was HUMID the whole time. There was not more than ONE day it did not rain. That knife stayed wet, covered in my sweat and did not rust at all. Spyderco makes great products, for sure!
I use 4-inch "cable ties" for my knives, and carefully melt the edges with a butane lighter...easier on the thumb. This treatment worked wonders for my hard to open Pika ll.
i like the silicon imopregnated cloths for rust prevention, keeps you from having to judge how much oil is too much. i also apply them to a sword before cutting for lubricity and to keep from getting discoloration from the medium being cut. they work pretty damn good.
VG-10 is one of my favourite steel too. In my camping and hunting experience is one of the more rust resistent steel in use and keep the edge for very very long time. Few steel can do the same!

I was simply responding to your comment "Why would you leave your blades wet for a month". I was just saying some knives stay wet. So it is nice to see a test like that. I got the impression you were implying that kind of stuff doesn't happen. Thats all.

@bfgguns but 12 hours is enough time for a knife to start to rust, its happened to me

@bfgguns If someone is the type of person that leaves their knife out in the weather for a week or month in the weather then I doubt ur the kind of person that needs to be worrying about having a vg10 steel spyderco.

@crownroyal111 It's not about leaving the knife out to rust. It's about trekking in rough conditions for some time, using your knife heavily and not having the oportunity to take care of your knife properly. That what 'bfgguns' was talking about.
The nutnfancy leave in the snow test was pointless: VG10 is a stainless steel which means it will NOT rust no matter how long you leave it out in the snow. LMFAO!

@CavalerVlah Stainless does not mean that it will "never rust" it means it will Stain LESS, think of it as 2 words (not being a dick here it's just a very common misconception) Stainless steels, even the best, will rust eventually.

@lexacor My bad, you're 100% correct. Just got carried away and exagerated. Thanks for pointing it out.
CavalerVlah 1 year ago
@CavalerVlah I think your statement about stainless steel not rusting shows your experience level. Many many different steels labeled "stainless" will rust. It just depends on the level of abuse. This actually is an ok test, although not great. I have had many a tool rust when it was labeled stainless. Even a leatherman and they are very good tools!

@84SuperDom Wow! I know that very well when i posted my comment, i also presumed (wrongly, looking at your statement) that most people watching videos like these will know something about steels. Of course stainless steel will rust away but we're dealing with VG-10 brand which is THE ultimate knife-making stainless steel at the moment. I presume you know that they have a very low decaying rate.
So... that's why i said the test of leaving a VG-10 out in the snow overnight is pointless.

@crownroyal111 you can lose a knife, you also can find a knife. finding a knife in primo condition is a magical find.

@bfgguns It will not rust no matter how long you leave it in the snow. VG10 is a top grade stainless steel (perfected by the japs and they keep the fabrication process and the recipe under wraps until recently).
VG10 steel is the choice steel for knives atm. It has a high carbon content which gives a very good edge retention, having anti-corrosive properties and very tough.
If 'nutnfancy' had dropped me a line I would've saved him a trip up in the mountains to test how the knife fares in snow!

close the zip tie on the other side of the blade to get a better thumb stud.

@avador22 It's so it catches on your pocket and deploys the blade as you pull it out. It's pretty cool and you can do it on anything with a Spyderhole

@LordChrisHimself not only on a knife with spyderhole i have a normal folder knife with a thumbstud after watching this vid i was thinkin it maybe would work on a thumbstud , and it does ! the only thing is u need to carefully choose thickness on your ziptie so it fits between the stud and your knife and pull it as tight as u can , might need pliers to do that tough ... but it works and i'm happy ! :-D

@no1livez4evr Go get yourself some Noxon metal polish, that thing got all the rust off my carbon blades.

@Cventures where could i find it?
no1livez4evr 1 year ago
@no1livez4evr Should be able to find it at pretty much every hardware store. Should just be around the other metal polish and its only like five bucks for a bottle.

@no1livez4evr try WD-40 if not go to sears & get some metal polish or if you have a grinder get a buffing wheel and buff it off

Afew of my knives have small rust spots all over em, is it something i should just look over?

I'm not surprised at all. I had a VG-10 all steel Police (fully serrated) when I was in the Marines. When I was in SOI, (School of Infantry) we went to the field for two weeks. Police came with me. It got a lot of good use, but more importantly, it rained and was HUMID the whole time. There was not more than ONE day it did not rain. That knife stayed wet, covered in my sweat and did not rust at all. Spyderco makes great products, for sure!

I use 4-inch "cable ties" for my knives, and carefully melt the edges with a butane lighter...easier on the thumb. This treatment worked wonders for my hard to open Pika ll.

i like the silicon imopregnated cloths for rust prevention, keeps you from having to judge how much oil is too much. i also apply them to a sword before cutting for lubricity and to keep from getting discoloration from the medium being cut. they work pretty damn good.
