SurviveKnives! EDC-4; Thoughts in Memoriam (+ALTERNATIVES)
To do a review of an extinct knife...or not to do a review of an extinct knife after the company essentially swindles over 3,000 buyers. All of this footage except the conversation at the end was completed in May, 2024 before SurviveKnives! closed their shop under uber-shady circumstances. Thanks to ‪@HeavySetTactical409 for his honest and earnest effort to try to assist Survival on a path that Guy just couldn't sustain. R.I.P.

    @dengised321 16 дней назад

    Your build looks great! I'm doing a similar one now with t he Flytanium Crossfade scales, but in the stonewash finish and with brass accents. Two questions for you: 1. Did your Flytanium screw set come with a white (uncoated) pivot screw and also a backing/housing that the pivot screw screws into, and if not where did you get those parts? 2. Is there a reason you decided not to install a backspacer? I chose to get one for my build, thinking it would add stability and a bit of color to the knife overall, but I was on the fence about it. Thanks.

    • @MitchBollig
      @MitchBollig 16 дней назад

      Thanks! 1) My Flytanium screw set was just the body screws - no pivot HW...mine were just the factory originals. 2) As for a backspacer, I didn't even think about it - I was just focused on migrating the frame/scales to Ti. In retrospect, I really like the idea - I think you made a good choice. And lastly, I would have loved a stonewashed set, but Flytanium didn't have them stonewashed when I purchased (sometimes the early bird gets the worser worm;-). Thanks for stropping by!🤜🤛✌️

    • @MitchBollig
      @MitchBollig Месяц назад

      Hey that makes 2 of us! (I actually use my knives😉). There's no arguing that G10 is a standard insofar as grip/weight/strength balance. On a rather beefy/bulky bruiser like this one, the titanium frame really enhances those qualities. I've found the couple ounces of weight that OG metal scales add in the pocket carry can also be reassuring when you use these tools wearing gloves. Thanks for stropping in to check it out! ✌️👊

    I just bought the plus modified wharncliffe (or reverse tanto) blade in Chinese steel, bought at Wally World for $27.99. I agree with the reviewer, that the weird stiff spring is annoying. Don’t know if use will fix that. Deployment is hard on the finger and the hard multi stage close is unpleasant. I would have gladly paid $7 more for AUS 10 or Sandvik 14c28N steel. The grip was a different pattern modified plastic or nylon different than in the video, that was surprisingly comfortable in my large (XL glove) hand, not sharp edges Or slippery. I like the feel-even for a budget knife, and the blade style-a pretty stout back with a sabre grind in a satin finish.

    • @MitchBollig
      @MitchBollig Месяц назад

      M4 and Cru-wear are from a similar boat - both semi-stainless particle metallurgy tool steels. I've personally found them similar on all fronts except stainlessness - M4 develops a deeper natural patina (corrosion) on my blades - so I have to oil them. These are all great every day use steels - including S30v - just determine what is the most important quality for each of your blades, and know that steel choices provide trade offs to meet these objectives.

    I get the appeal of a contoured scale, but do it to the other side too bro. It looks out of place with different textures and finish

      I totally understand you here - at first I asked Dave to true it up to the original framing - keep it flat and chamfer the edges...so it would essentially mimic a smooth Ti show side from Hinderer. But the customization bug hit me - and I'm glad it did. I turned a knife ripe for resale into one ripe for unique carry. And I gotta tell ya, Dave's orange peel texture is unmatched - kind of satin sheets but with grip. I liked giving the artist freedom here. I appreciate you stropping by! ✌️ 👊

    How did you feel about Demko's magnacut?

    • @MitchBollig
      @MitchBollig Месяц назад

      My personal experience was excellent. This did not chip or roll after batoning through wood (that oft happens with softer heat treats - see my BRK Bravo 1 review). Though magnacut seems to get some mixed results out in the wild, my first 3 experiences with it are great (Creely Blades Mako, this Demko, Hogue Deka). Thanks for stropping in to ask!✌️ 👊

    Ps.... I added thumb scallops to my HC as well .. TOTALLY changed the feel of the hilt area for the better!! Soooo much more comfortable for pinch grips.

      Oooohhh my. Belt sander/grinder, hand sanded with blocks? I agree that is THE one and awesome change necessary to elevate this to greatest in class! Look forward to hearing. 🤙✌️

    Bushcrafter HC was my first LT and still my favorite and most used. To anyone reading this, dont let 1075 sway you... Peter's does a GREAT heat treatment with the 1075. The HC has been my go to edc blade for several years now. The A2 models are great too... But the thin 3/32 hc in convex is fantastic!

      This is a truly great one. And even though the blade stock is quite thin (I think I recall demonstrating it's around Benchmade Bugout), no fear of this one batoning through small wood - it was a champ. Yeah, I'm liking your thought process of convexing this edge. This is a knife I'm going to giveaway at 2K subscribers to a channel in Germany, but I will be giving several others, so be on the lookout CNY - thanks! ✌️ 👊
