How easily does this knife steel rust? Testing the Cr8Mo2VSi (DC53) in the QSP Canary fixed blade
The QSP Canary fixed blade has a new to me steel called Cr8Mo2VSi (DC53). and in this video I split some wood with it, spit on it, and cut cardboard. These advanced tests show me how easily it rusts, and is knotted wood going to chip the edge, etc.

Thank you for batoning. And how you have less than 100k is beyond me. The filming, and the style of talking over the film, and all of the humor sporadically spread throughout the video. Please don’t ever stop being you, or doing this. You have remained the same, since I started watching you around 2017/2018 or so, and I’ve come for the humor and the batoning, and I still get good info in an entertaining form. Your style is what keeps me watching every video, and coming back. It’s gold. When I show non-knife friends your videos, they watch others and don’t even care about knives. You’re easy to watch and your content is fun. I like it this way - if you ever started shilling and started doing basically ad reads on the channel, that would be the only time I would be compelled to not finish a video tbh. Thanks for being genuine and thanks for doing this in YOUR style. Much better than a second rate version of someone else’s style imho. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
The things that keep you and I watching are the same things that keep the majority away. If I suffer a massive head injury and decide I wanna see the 38 knives that Kizer released this month, KZhead is filled with awful channels that make that possible.
Sometimes I think about getting the big boxes- so I can make more content- but that seems like so much work. I believe I told Kizer sorry not at this time. I tell so many companies no.
Over the years I do get the comments about never changing. And I take it to heart. I have tried to improve some technical stuff from time to time, and make minor changes to the formula- but I have tried to keep the same forumula and sideshow style of the videos. I make these mainly as entertainment.

A non-knife-guy friend of mine showed me this channel by showing me the video about the gear-pivot knife. He enjoyed it for the humor and he sent it to me since I am a knife-guy myself. I instantly subscribed and hit that bell icon, and I have watched every video since. And when I'm out of new videos to watch and wanna watch more, I just go back in time!
It sucks its been such a grind for you to get 100k. Even when im burnt out on knife content i always watch your new uploads, your channel and cedric and ada never get old its the table top channels that get boring. Obviously their content is easier to churn out in mass im guessing the youtube algorithm likes that.
KZhead loves the upload a day guys, whose job is KZhead. Nothing wrong with that- but it's not something I'm able to do. I appreciate all the people who have stuck with me over the years- sometimes I upload a bunch and sometimes I don't. I try to at least do one a month.
I always enjoy your videos. Great sense of humor and a really good demonstration of the knife as well 👍
the best way a knife rusts is when you forgot it outside and it start to rain suddenly as rainwater is slightly acidic and tend to be corrosive towards forgotten tools
Your rust test (with a straight face), theory of the nuances of steel type, and reverse cowboy grip...all reasons why you have one of the best channels.
So happy to see this. Dealing with physical therapy/rehab for a back injury and some days I’m laid up pretty bad. It’s not as bad as when I had to relearn how to walk after surgery, but it’s definitely not a picnic. Your posts definitely make this a bit less difficult to bear.
Hope you get better soon!
Getting better every day!
Do more fixed blade reviews. Please.
Funny timing for a brand new video. Just 8 hours ago, i proudly slid my green Stump Lifter across the table in its green leather Foolish Pride pounch and said to Jim, "hey Jim, check this out". Jim ran his thumb across the blade and said, "this is really nice" and slid it back...I guess cartwheels and back flips aren't in vogue like I imagined. Atleast he seemed sincere.
Jim seems alright.
I just skipped through a Gideon video only to click on this one in the sidebar to watch every single second of this! It's not you Gideon, it's me!
Love the super practical approach steel and purchase selections! 😂
That's a cool stump lifter you have there. Hoping for another batch in the future.
Reverse cowboy grip made me choke on my coffee 😆
No matter what is said in this video, DO NOT put weed in the handle of your knife!!! The TSA will NEVER let you get on a plane with your fixed blade knife with weed in the handle! Sorry, this is just something I’m passionate about.
Honestly. Steel has never been the deciding factor on a knife I've purchased. I avoid junk. But at the price range I go for there isn't a crazy amount of metal variety to worry about.
Slow and steady growth gang represent 👊🏻
I guess we know our niches
Just bought one using your link. I have a big boundary waters canoe trip coming up and my Gerber Becker BK2 is HUGE for canoeing.
I've been following for a long time. It must the the humor? You should be at way more subscribers.
Yeah probably.
I’m an OG sub. I watched years ago and continue to watch to this day. Keep up the great work mate. I enjoy your reviews.
If steel companies really want my attention, and essence, they'll make a steel called CRM114. Great video as always.
Metal Complex mentioned you in his video today, he said you make content that is WAY better. Wait, no, you put WAY more energy into your content than he does. Honestly, I think this is great content, and damn funny too! I'm really surprised you don't have more subscribers, but you did get one more today. No, not me, but I'm sure you'll get one more today, one more rando click happy blade lover that okay it's me.
Thanks man!
Cool looking knife Thanks for sharing
Nothing was going to get past that MASSIVE knot/branch in that log !!!
I've got the smaller micarta neck version and love it so much I think I'm going to get one of these 😍
love it, man!
Waoh, Bro! Cross battoning skills turned up to 11. You scare me, and it feels good.
Videos are the best.
Another show and tell / reviews with beer. Keep doing it bro. 👍
Solid reason to get a new knife, new steel.
I like the Micarta, the Mycarta, the Youcarta, I like all the Cartas!
Thanks for the video!
I think where steel becomes more important. Well some places besides this. But when you are able to get the same model in different steels. So you get a knife thats functionally the same but you can choose which steel you think would be better for you
Reverse cowgirl grip? Love it. Still Chinese though. Haha
The scratching the beard part to figure out that stubborn grain made me laugh so hard man
I need a graphics guy so I could have the math problems over my head. Sometimes you beat the knot sometimes the knot beats you
Dang, you didn’t have to hit that close to home about my kids' future, unused knife collection that I hope to pass down to them and their student loans. 😂😂😂
Just paid mine off last year! Only took 22 years
@AdvancedKnifeBro But, hey, you finally hit it big on the You Tubes, so it must have been worth it, right?!
uhhhhh
My Ex hated the reverse cowboy grip...
I just cracked a beer, and saw this.... What a coincidence.
Just got the green one ordered thanks
nice
Thanks for the Vid. Enjoyed watching you batoning those chunks of whatever wood it was. I do not care about steel, really life is too short for that, there is beer to be drunk etc. You are getting up to the 100k...!
Advanced Anti-Corrosion Bro?
Good two! Good video, good knife! Why would anyone not watch your videos? 🤔
entertaining and fun to watch :)
I love a chunky fixed blade. Nice and usable. But usable I mean less likely for me to drop it and hurt myself.
Wonder if it’s easier to sharpen than D2? I ❤ me some laser strike.
Mo-betta D2 just rolls off the tongue 👍
crate mo-two made me crack.
Hey I come just for the half-baked tests
10:08 Every Hole Is A Goal, the mantra of the Awakened.
Take opportunities, make money to pay bills. Change is not a bad word. Taking one big box to be able to sustain and take many smaller boxes. The popular knives are what I want to see compared. I want a Tactile Dreadeye but then I see the new BigIdeaDesigns Lookout. So many cool ones. Something just under 3 inch blade. Small and in pocket sheath with clip.
What about the huge part of the knife commmunity that buy based only on how the knife smells?
Good point!
AKB I have been following the channel for a mere 4 years and enjoy the hell out of your style! Too much knife shit on youtube is way to stuffy and sarcosanct. I have learned alot watching your vids(although my level of jaded sarcasim is really the only thing my wife will say has improved.) What does she know!? Anyhow, my EDC work knife is a Benchmade Gryptillian with D2 steel. It is a workingmans knife and a tool as it should be. So that is the lens I watch your channel through, and I hope most folks just have fun with them and when they go to work, get a little chuckle over some silly shit you said about their favorite blade.
Holy shit I’m dying over you “testing the corrosion” by spitting all over the knife
Bro, you must have batoned every log in the state by now?
You ever get comments in public about that Hawk Knife Hoodie? Really reminds me of 90's skate logo.
Nope!
Reverse Cowboy grip haha, I see what you did there!
Can you make the orange line for measurements blue?
Id be tempted to fill those handle holes with jb weld or black epoxy and decorative pins
Holes like this are excellent for grip, especially if your hand is wet or sweaty 👍
@@edwardfletcher7790 i agree, but aesthetically thats where im at right now. Ask me in a month and holes will be "in" for me again 😂
How about a look at the Victorinox Venture? Get some of those Felix Immler vibes on the stump
You can't baton with them, the steel is much too thin !
@edwardfletcher7790 yeah saw that on Gideonstactical, still like to get an advanced take on the knife tho
fantastic video as always!
The composition of DC53 is almost identical to Sleipner fwiw.
Been watching since you reviewed the Yojimbo which according to youtube is 8 years. This means you are partly responsible for my divorce since buying a Yojumbo was basically the final straw. 😂🤣😂 100k is rapidly approaching! Will we get there before or after democracy kicks the bucket?!? The suspense just never lets up!!
Slightly after!
I’m guessing the hawk hoodies probably costs more than any benchmade knife 😂
It's Ogreisation - SEO
Steel is only important to people that can't sharpen knives
I guess it has to do with the algorithm but your videos don't come up regular in my feed. If I don't think to look you up I very seldom see one of your videos.
Sounds about right. KZhead doesn’t think people like them I guess
Whyyy?? I can't do all this steel stuff anymore.. 😢😢
i cant think of a good comment, but heres one for the algorithms.
Have you ever forced a patina on a knife? It’s okay to admit it.. you’re among friends.
No… so with carbon steel all I got to do is cut up a few lunches. Never done the potato trick
No means no. Tool steels have feelings too. How dare you dip them in lemon juice or mustard? Leaving them for days, to lay there bruised, battered and alone. Only to return and swear you'll never drink Zima and PBR together again and you'll change. But it's too late, Flitz polish can't undo the scars you forced on her belt satin body, you monster.
I would never patina without consent, and only then if the knife is at least half my age plus seven.
@@fancyhitchpin8675 Just make sure you check the box and model number first. Some of these newer knives look every bit like an old delica or sebenza, but they're barely old enough to remember a knife world without m390 in it. Glad you're not one of these "if there are scales on the handle, it's ok to play ball" guys. That's good to hear. Knives have feelings too and you respect them. Just make sure to use safe patina techniques, or you're gonna have a bad time and regret it for 18 years... or until a newer, sexier model comes out and you stick the older one in it's knife case. Or file for a blade forums knife exchange post.
Crate Mo Double Vision. Chinese knife Steel?
Wearing a hawk knives hoodie is just rubbing it in to us poor folk that would never be able to afford such luxuries, good on you for getting them for nothing 👍
Yeah, why would it EVER be about the Steel?!?
If you use it to clean up stock the tallow will keep you from rusting. Of course a,collector probably doesn't have time to tend to hogs and goats
That would be farmers. Which is not most people. I know you used “collectors” in pejoratively, but most people who tend to hogs and goats are not the intended audience for this knife or most knives. Most of those people don’t post on social media and spend $60 on a knife with pretty micarta handles.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I'm not a farmer, just an old fashioned guy that hunts and raises a few animals for meat. My knives don't really rust. I mostly use carbon steel knives, seems you have to go really expensive to get a good stainless steel blade. I have a German puma Whute Hunter and it's just not a favorite, I've cut up a couple of axis with it and my Old Hickory is in truth better
Engagement coment
Oh, cry me a river for the 'affordable knife brigade'. You think instagramers build their empires draping themselves over 'affordable' cars, or have themselves photographed in 'affordable' locations? No way. Listen, this is *the sensational Advanced Knife Bro himself* - ( _Blade HQ_ ), not some Amazon review list, son. The more knives that look like they were designed by Lil Wayne's dentist, the better..
I bet his dentist has a great knife collection
Oh, to add something constructive - reminder for everyone that you shouldn’t store your knives in their sheaths if they’re getting put away long term (obvious exceptions for the fee actual rust proof blades) no matter the material of the sheath.
Now you tell me. I’ve been doing this for 10 years.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro wait, really? I figured you already knew but a lot of new people to the knife world never heard that. I got yelled at when I did that as a kid, so it’s kinda burned into my brain. Nothing like a little overreaction and verbal abuse to make a lesson stick, am I right?
I tend to think it’s overblown advice and it’s overly dependent on where they’re stored. I have had some minor issues where a little edge maintainance and cleaning have made it go away. However the flip side is space, dinged edges and more. Like if you think about it just about any storage method can have a whole host of downsides. In the sheath works best for me.
@@just9911 Boomer parents were the best parents, just ask any boomer!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I think I should have specified - I mean situations where you are packing something to put away and you don’t expect it be touched for multiple years. Like I don’t consider when I put away my cold weather gear until the following year to be long term. If it’s just getting put up on the shelf for months at a time, it shouldn’t matter. Also - I think the mentality also operates on an “everyone is an idiot” premise so you couldn’t guarantee that someone was going to properly clean and treat the blade before putting it in storage. Though I guess it’s fucked up to tailor general advice to the least common denominator.
interesting, that’s Chinese designation for steels.
yeah it's hard to say who makes which. I assume it's chinese made, but the steel specs are on weird websites.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro The steel is 100% Chinese stuff, I read it up apparently this steel is designed to be a better DC53. the Knife itself I’m not sure. great video as always!
Its more less A2 tool steel
Why does the knifecenter comment feel like a dig? Is there AKB and knifecenter beef??
Nope, not at all.
Engaging
Gotta use mu OLFA if the box presents such challenges as packing tape. Its like kryptonite for toolery. Wood, 3-ply corrugate, chicken wings, glass-reinforced wet taped that has dried, even single sheets of 24# bond are no match but that damn packing tape. Cursed to carry that damned OLFA in the tech pocket. Fits nicely in there though. Too bad all pants dont have the goofy tech pocket. Oh, i see you need to break down that box. Let me just whip out this impressive knjfe that you wont care about, ever, in your life, and impress you. Packing tape! OLFA, where are you. Noooooooo!
If you were a knife, you'd be a Mora
Cincinnati.🤦♂️🤣
No size comparison to a bottle of Zima? Unsubscribed for the 23rd time. I'll be back in 3 weeks to see if you're still alive.
most likely I will be. Making these videos is backed by a court order.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro That sounds like a story that begins with, " so I bought a 12 pack... no, 30 pack and...... And that's when the cops had to pull me down while pulling up my pants. Classic Tuesday."
OMG where handle go! Aah, there it is again!
