Going into this, I wasn’t expecting miracles from the 9Cr18 steel, but sometimes these budget blades can surprise you. I came away pretty impressed with how it held up.

Today I’m putting one of my most-carried knives through the Redneck Cut Tests. I was pretty nervous about this one since it spends more time in my pocket than any other knife right now.
I had pretty high hopes for this premium steel, but the results left me scratching my head a bit.
After a disappointing first run with the Ontario RAT Model 1.5 in MagnaCut, I decided to give this knife a second chance.
