How much
@@caheme1984 they are mid-techs and customs. They run anywhere between $700-$3K
What is this please?
@@JLorenzo-r2f the Herman Ishtar.
@@knifelife8305 awesome thank you
To get the pin out use a punch and mallet and gentle strikes on the pin. Should come out. I have had to do this numerous times on the newer ones
Oh I tried that. I’ll eventually figure something out though.
@@knifelife8305 👊🍻🍻
Are these still going for over retail on the secondary? With all the trash out there now, they're starting to look pretty good to me
@@CNYKnifeNut yes they are, not as insane as they were early on though.
I see you've played knifey spooney before
Was that an AD20?? It looked bad ass!
Yes, that was an AD20. One of my favorites. 🔥🔥
@@knifelife8305 looks great with those scales!
Sweet blade.
That thing is beautiful!!
Random(ish) question... Isn't this just a 4" blade? Like 10 years ago, i was visiting a friend of a friend and he had a sng/smf looking thing, but it was at least 5" blade length. He had a massive Strider collection, so im reasonably certain it was legit. Any idea what that would have been?
XL’s tend to be in the 4.5-5inch range. This one is in the 4.5inch range. The Strider AR is also in that blade length range.
Yes it did.
Very nice!! 🐎
The full sized, aftermarket scales completely transform the knife. Looks great
Wow. Honesty. I don't have the Evo but after a lot of videos with everyone loving it, it refreshing to hear something different. Thanks for the honesty.
This is one of the knives that really hammered home how different my preferences are, from the knife community as a whole. It even made me have some completely irrational spite against CKF for a while. I got one right at the peak of their hype, and nothing about it felt right. Its somehow huge and small at the same time, and in the worst possible ways. It also felt cheap in some weird way that i can't explain. Edit: oh damn, you mentioned the cheap thing too! Thats hilarious. Ive never heard anyone else say that.
@@CNYKnifeNut yeah, I think we both agree about this knife in quite a few ways.
Price
@@leonidpohilko8114 these run around $400. American made in Ohio.
So you went from an MC Solo, to a Deadlock?... I can respect that!
Hahaha I like both 🤣🤣
Nice knife!
Thank you. Definitely one of the greats. 🔥
Красивый на сколько прочный острый и сталь какая на брелок похож пластиковый
Thank you, it is a hard us folder, very Sharp, the steel is S45VN.
Beautiful!!!
New sub herd your name on Dirk’s video and figured I would check out your channel 👍👍
Sweet, thank you very much! I appreciate that.
Nice!! I own both in ti and love them.
I think I'd be able to temporarily ignore my abject hatred of Mick Strider for a KRT, or one of these.
I know this is an older video, but I’d just like to throw out that when it comes to blade length and legalities, it’s cutting edge that is measured. Not choils, not to the handle, not to the pivot. It’s cutting edge.. I appreciate the review, southern edges has a bunch of these in stock right now, just deciding if I want a 3rd Eklipse and in what finish.
@@ronin8490 that’s not necessarily true, most states in the US measure from the tip of the blade to the handle, not all states. I believe Connecticut and Nevada measure it based on cutting edge. No matter what though. If you get a police officer that is harsher they can measure it how they see fit. Just be smart and careful with the knives you carry. Also I hope you liked the review, thanks for the comment and that feedback. Also I don’t think one can have too many Eklipse’.
@@knifelife8305 located in NV.
Uhmm
I thought it was the beautiful zt 0560bw But this is nice too...
I mean, this is just as beautiful. Trust me. 🔥🔥
I really wish they'd move the stop pin in the XM24 and release a no-choil version.
You and me both. Make a no-choil non flipper XM24 Bowie. 🔥🔥
I need one of those....
Very nice collection. Just subbed.
@@fibitabit8423 thank you very much.
I love this song!
I don't think this video is the flex you think it is.
Not flexing just celebrating American makers. Nothing else.
Who is your opposition the british
This is about MURICA not the British.
Where i am from that is illegal , please know the rules , and not get people arrested .
Hahaha I am very aware of the laws. Where I live It’s legal. People should know their own laws in their own state or move to a state they are legal.
Free 😂😂😂 we are Slaves to IsranotReal 🤮🇮🇱💩
I am a Canadian sikkkeeee😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing says america quite like gas station knives 😂
If you only knew how far from Gas stations knives these are. These are all on the exact opposite side of gas station knives.
Careful where you bring that because OTF knifes are illegal in some states
Hahaha, I am very aware of that.
Just live in a better state or fix the knife laws in your state. I carry an microtech dagger blade OTF everyday
Also just be smart, live in a better state or fix the laws but also don’t be stupid with your knives.
@@knifelife8305 That's true. I feel like with a few exceptions you could carry pretty much whatever you wanted wherever you wanted it so long as you're not an idiot
Awesome grab!! Love the Strider!!❤
Thanks man, I had to get a Strider this year! 🔥
Amazing collection! I went to the Blade Show in Atlanta for the first time and I was like a kid in a candy store. I had my hinderer scale swapped out for the titanium battle bronze ones. Their customer service was outstanding. I met the owner of Medford knives and just bought the Utgard fixed blade the other night. I also just bought another TRM, the Neutron. Lastly, I bought the Kizer Mystic which has been impossible to find online! Oh and I bought the Pyrite lite on amazon, I couldn't decide so I got both blue and green. Needless to say I have a knife problem. NIce score on the Strider. I must have missed that booth.
Thank you. I’m glad you had a blast at Blade Show. We all are like kids in a candy store. It’s absolutely fantastic. Glad to see you are growing your collection healthily, seems like you found quite a few good ones. Mine just keeps growing haha 🤣🤣
The Demko is scales are show only too. Larger diamond pattern, more contoured on edges with inner chamfer. Just loosen the pivot screw a tad and it will scream! Congratulations!
Oh I noticed the subtle differences between this AD20S and my other one, I love when they do things different for the show, even if it’s slightly different. And oh trust me, I’ll get it to run super smoothly. I’ve gotten my other Demko’s so smooth even people at the Demko booth were wondering how I did it 🤣 also thank you man. It was a fantastic show.
How does it weight this great knife and how cm long is the blade, it will be interesting to know?
13.33CM or 5.25inch and the Weight is 8.14 OZ.
Rockstead knives are extremely high quality, but theres also a fair amount of woo-woo nonsense surrounding their products. "Will cut better than any kitchen knife" falls firmly in the woo-woo nonsense category. I wouldn't even call my .06" stock, sub .005" BTE nakiri the best slicer in the world, but i guarantee its a light saber compared to that. No heat treatment in the world will ever defeat simple geometry.
Well the heat treat might make it cut longer than any other kitchen knife and most knives in general but it doesn’t necessarily make it a better cutter. Though it has been proven that mirror polished blades cut better than non mirror polished blades just simply because they have less friction but you are right. That doesn’t make it cut better than a knife that simply has better blade/cutting geometry.
Dang your demko rich!! Whoo hoo 🎉🎉
It’s definitely hard not getting more than one after handling an AD20. 🤣
I edc an XM-24 skinny slicer.😂
This knife was designed to be an EDC blade, not a dedicated kitchen blade.
Yes but no. It is designed for EDC use but the blade is specifically designed for cutting food and food prep. It is a food prep EDC folder. Simple. It is not a dedicated kitchen knife but a food prep EDC folder. There is a slight difference.
For me, I find the Umnumzaan tanto the perfect knife as far as blade geometry/utility. However, the Inkosi micarta feels better, and more robust in the hand. The Inkosi is most definitely tougher than the Umnumzaan. I've used both extensively. Never purchased a Sebenza as they never felt up to par with the other two🤷♂️
I absolutely get your perspective, I love the Umnumzaan, overall it seems like the Inkosi is a better EDC knife but not necessarily a better knife overall.
I've gone down quite a CKF rabbit hole lately, but I still don't see the appeal of the Evo.
I absolutely understand where you are coming from. Of course, I’ll give more details in the review but it’s definitely not for everyone by any means.
Dude has nicer hands than a woman!!!
That’s a weird comment but thanks…. I guess? 🤣 they are definitely rougher than a woman’s 🤣
It's so weird to even see a question mark at the end of the title of the video... It's just an objectively true statement.
I have a Kwaiken that ive tried using as a work knife a few different times. It never goes well. All the loctite in the world cant hold it together. Horrible tolerances make all the parts fight each other to come apart, and un-shouldered standoffs make it an effortless fight. Ive seriously had the two sides separate in my pocket, to the point that the pivot is the only thing holding the knife together. Also, unless i wave it out of my pocket i can hold it spine down and fold it up like its basically a slip joint. Even if i do wave it out, i can still slip the lock half the time. I modded it to use a Hinderer pivot and standoff so it at least stays together now, but calling it trash would be an insult to all the safe, functional trash out there. Edit: It takes such a great, sticky sharp edge though, and I love the blade shape.
I’ve had a few Emerson’s and I haven’t had that issue. But they definitely aren’t the best looking, they are definitely designed to just be work knives. So far I haven’t had a problem with Emerson’s as work knives but who knows, maybe I will now haha 🤣 but they do take wicked edges.
