Please excuse the camerawork, this was impromptu and shot freehand! ❤

You have no idea how much it made me happy when the 15v manix was announced and BBB was whom built the heat treat.

This is the content we are looking for! Shawn is a great resource for the industry and extremely knowledgeable. Super excited for BBB sprints in the future.

He’s the man. Very gracious with his time to allow us this interview!

What a truly genuine guy saw him chopping up a big tree stump on one of his 1st vids, now he is rockin it with the big dawgs, u put in the work & now u deserve the rewards, best to u Shawn

My PM2 in 15V is freaking nuts when it comes to the edge holding. So glad to support someone who cares as much about the caliber of the product as BBB.

Shawn is a living treasure of knife steel! Congrats great success of collaboration with Spyderco.

Super interview! Shawn is a huge source of inspiration!! Educating people around the world! Thank you to make this 15V as sprint so we can have it in Europe, so cool man!

It's absolutely surreal that I have one of Shawn's earliest (and DEFINITELY his thinnest) customs in 15v!! 😍

BBB bro just wanted to say how proud to see you take it to another level. You've done the work and shared the info and are receiving the praise and work. Watched you for years. Great to see you in full advocation mode.

Shawn seems like a great guy and I really wanna get my hands on some 15V

Heck I want some 30v

Shawn just explained everything I like about Cruwear, which to me is truly the goldilocks of steel.

Shawn’s the man! 🫡

Shawn really is one of the most revolutionary knifemakers in this time, he deserves a lot more attention, i learnt so much from him.

Shawn is the man, I’d love to take a one of his sharpening classes if I’m ever in his area. Really smart guy and seems incredibly humble and kind.

Man I remember years back when BBB was Big Brown Guy (not Bear) and his very first video that I watched was how to flick open some knives. It was mostly Cold Steel knives there. And I'd been following Shawn through the years. I just bought a 2nd PM2 15V and I am quite honored to own a couple of these fine specimens.

BBB seems like a great guy! All the best to him!

This is such an Amazing Vid for 2 Awesome Guys. Thank you Evan and Shawn for this cool meeting and I personally can’t wait to get my hands on the CPM-15V PM2 and Shaman!! 🐻🔪💎🔪🐻✌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🍻😀

Got one. My edge was a mess, unequal bevel angles, lots of hills and valleys. It now has equal bevels at 14 degrees, down to 1 micron diamond stone, and stropped to hair topping. Sharpens with diamond as easy as 14C28N. I like the Manix 2, with a single exception. That screwball lock. I think they got the spring off a heavy duty diesel truck. Got some other springs on order. I would pay Spyderco $100 to put a lock back on mine. Want to thank Shawn for his work and sharing along the way with his development and tips on sharpening etc. I hope to soon have a black blade and will make some custom scales.

Shawn is an awesome guy, and he knows his stuff. Great collab, and fantastic interview!

Dope video REC. I need to head back to your shop sometime.

Good to see someone that really cares about the product they put out. I got a 2nd in a 15v shaman. I’m wanting to get a pm2 also.

Good for you Big Brown Bear dude on mastering that heat treat skill. Enjoy your success and keep going .

You are awesome, Shawn! One of the steel nerd prophets! 🙌

Just got my para 2 in 15v today. Hell yeah !

Proud and excited to have snagged a pm2 in Shawn’s heat treat!

GOOD JOB, I'VE GOT TWO!!

Cool content and the 15v from triple B/Shawn looks crazy good. If they do more in the future Im going to pick one up for sure.

Appreciate the info 👍 Sal & Shawn 👌

BBB is the real deal!

Good job, keep innovating, brother.

Funny he says he has no idea how the sprint woukd be received and hopes people like it. Fast forward to now and looks like it was received very well, that heat treat was a game changer, out cutting maxamet, great edge stability, easy to sharpen and debur, tougher than 15v should be, not chippy, made the steel good in areas you.would not think. Wonder if he could do something similar to existing steels like k390 or rex 45 to make them better than they already are

Where will be a good place to order this pm2?

Anyone got the word on when these will be hitting the shelves? Spyderco has became my favorite and I want a Shaman or another PM2..why not a 15v?

Hopefully I can snag a PM2 in 15v. I never get a email update from any company when they did the Manix 2 drops.

Deburs really well is critical lol!

I love the thinking on this. Another approach I've been wondering about is to use geometry to make up for lacks in either wear resistance or toughness. What I mean is, what about using tough tool steels (3V, Cruwear, etc.) with thin stock and small edge angles to make slicey knives. And high wear resistance steels (15V, Maxamet, K390) with thick stock and large edge angles to make choppers? Goes against convention and I'm curious if they'd be any good.

Because choppers take way too much abuse and shock at the edge, they require a steel/heat treat that won't chip or snap under pounding blows. Even if the stock is thicker, the edge is where the cutting and abuse takes place. That being said, I think it would be really cool to see what they COULD offer in an experimental environment and then expand on that, hell.. maybe it is possible. We are finding out loads more about alloys nowadays than we ever have, it wouldn't be a stretch!

@@GerstBladeworks I assume that’s why they often use 1095 or similar? Often wonder why so many survival type knives are made with a high carbon steel and have a Rockwell hardness of around 55-57. I think it has something to do with the strength of the blade but I’m not an expert.

@GerstBladeworks

Жыл бұрын

@@PapawHasThis1 you are correct! Medium 50s on high carbon steels with a thick stock is exactly what you want for that kind of thing, it gives you hardness but not too much so that it will chip when chopping. 1095,1075,80CRV2, all of these steels excel at being turned into large bush clearing and hard use camp knives

I smile whenever I see a Spyderco owner, because I know I can sell them anything!

Trying to find one of these 15v shamans

Thank you for demanding USA made.

how this 15v compare to magnacut?

Can we expect any avocado 15v's in near future? 🥑😁

That’s a Big Beautiful Boy right there

Grate steel just wish is could handle aluminum cans. 😢

for some reason i don't trust BBB

Spyderco is way to expensive in my opinion. I’m not paying more then $150 for any knife. 99% of these steels is gimmicks

Super hard tools steels are for tools not necessarily for knives as they tend to chip more & are also very hard to resharpen .

have you gained a lot of weight over the last 5 years?
