This Winterblade Factor B3 is cutting like a laser beam now that we’ve reprofiled it down to an 18 degree edge. So lets see how it compares against our other recent M390 blades.
Testing the Vosteed Raccoon: EDC Favorite in Action
Testing the Vosteed Raccoon: EDC Favorite in Action
Today we're running the incredibly popular Vosteed Raccoon Top Liner Lock through our Redneck Cut Tests to see if its performance matches its reputation. This 14C28N steel blade delivered pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a quality knife in this category - reliable, consistent cutting performance throughout our cardboard, rope, rubber hose, and stick tests.
What stands out most about the Raccoon isn't necessarily reflected in the raw numbers - this blade feels noticeably more "slicey" in hand than the test scores might indicate. Paired with its excellent ergonomics that make extended cutting comfortable, this knife remains one of our favorite EDCs despite showing average edge retention. Drop a comment if you've put your Raccoon through some hard use and let us know how it's holding up!

This replica Inkosi doesn’t even mention the steel type! But I’m pretty sure the results from this test are going to shock you as much as it shocked me!

I wanted to test this OK-223 (Para 3 style) knife back to back with the OK-81 because they’re both supposed to have the same M-390 steel. The results should be similar, right?
