Toor Merchant: First Look
Today we talk about my semi fresh reactions to the brand new Toor Merchant folding knife! (crowd cheers)
* in editing this, I realized how much I undersold the pricing problem. A S35VN Titanium handled pocket knife is far from a rare thing in today's market. Thanks to the work of Kizer, Bestech and others, $250 for a knife of this quality and makeup feels way overblown. Toor is an aggressively american company, so they would likely respond "that's the price of american craftsmanship" except that Zero Tolerance ALSO has similar knives listed for ~$100 less. The truth is that you are paying to support your friends first folding knife. There are some OBVIOUS and foundational misses in this de...

I Got My Friend Back!

A good life is full of experimentation. You know nothing of yourself or your world without trying to play with it and push boundaries. Same thing with knife preferences, keep modding and trying weird things. Maybe you'll find something you like better than what you had before.

    I don’t disrespect your opinion, because opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. But I bought this knife for Christmas and absolutely LOVE IT. The open action, and the locking mechanism is one of the smoothest/best I’ve ever owned. I just watched this so I didn’t have to disassemble it myself. I fully believe SOG makes great quality blades, and the flare is amazing for its price point. I’ve had much more expensive knives that were WAY WORSE.

    bought mine over a year ago as a souvenir to the USA. Been my EDC knife since then and it's still going strong. I carry it almost every day. Because I have a little daughter and she likes to take things out of my pocket, I find the safety very useful 😅. Only 2 problems I have is that I lost the screw holding the pivot pin in and the pocket clip damaged my steering wheel a bit because it scratched against it when stepping in the car. This last problem was solved by putting some shrink tube around it.

    I did knife surgery on my Redoubt the other day and my 551-S30V Griptilian this morning. Now both work perfectly. Couldn't get any smoother and zero blade play or lock rock. I feel good after having done both. Now I'm thinking of doing the same to my Mini-Grip. I think I should because that was the very first Benchmade I ever bought and I haven't taken it apart yet. Probably quite dirty inside.

    Thanks man, this video really helped me to reassemble my knife. It's not the same model or brand, but it's the same concept. I was fixing my Maddox Tanto, and I couldn't figure out why my knife wasn't springing open after I reassembled it. Turns out, I didn't even realize that it had a spring in it and accidentally left it out when I put it back together. Your video really made reassembling my knife easier AND allowed me to realize that I was missing the spring. Thanks man. P.S - It really is easier to reassemble knives like these with an extra set of hands.

    It was helpful to me. Theflipper quite working so I took it apart. It flew everywhere including into s pile of my kids Lego tool box where I pitched a list up that diesn't being and just the spring and one peice which I'm looking now. I allmost went ffffff ing mag trying to figure out why I couldn't put it together. Your the only video detailing it. So yeah. You saved a man's sanity today and I thank you for it brother. Ps your right, junk. Though I'll say the steel itself and to be of decent quality if they had went a bit further with it they may have had something ok. Peace

    "Have to push it so far into a hole that big" lol that's what she said. But in all seriousness, I just bought a fake one online. It's a really nice knife. May not be the same quality as a Benchmade, but it works fine for me. 200 bucks for this thing is crazy!! However, it's a nice knife I just ain't paying that for something I'm gonna carry and use, but the design of this model is really nice. Small little dagger style blade automatic, wonderful. May only have one sharp side, but if you have to stick someone with it, it's not gonna matter.

    Thank you so much!! I bought 4 of these for my groomsmen at my wedding. Mine was the only one with a carabiner that locked as soon as you opened it so we all thought it was broken. It's funny though, as soon as you said it locks, and I realized it was a feature, not a mechanical failure, I intuitively knew how to close it

      Won’t the twitch spring open at random without the safety? I’ve heard stories of the knife opening in the pocket without the safety on. If you’ve removed the spring, how does it perform without it? Been thinking about removing the spring.
