Thanks for sending it dude. Sorry if any of the nonsense comes your way. I appreciate you letting me check it out and as this and the upcoming videos will say, its a sweet piece.
A great-looking knife! It will be fun to see what Alex will come up with over time. I'm beginning to like knives with a little more room in the handle for the blade, occasionally the tip of the knife will cut my hand when closing. (Manix 2, one-handed close) Thanks for the video. 😎👍
I like the overall look and design of the knife, it is something I would normally go for in a knife. But I have the same issues that you have with the knife. I don't like the way that the blade to handle ratio look of on it, that is one of my biggest peeves on a knife. The other issue I would have is the fact that it runs on washers. In my personal opinion in this day and age with the technology, machining capabilities, and materials that we have available there is no reason for a knife to be running on washers anymore, especially at this price point.. If I had one I would definitely try to install bearings on it. I have a quiet carry drift that was running on washers and I milled some pockets in it and now it's running on bearings and it turned it into a completely different knife in my opinion.
Awesome video/content brother. & you can call your followers {friends,brother,sister} Or just a flat out an epic person. Thanks for all your hard work you do for the channel/community. I can not wait till i can get my. Hands on a Divo (any one).
I talk to Alex on a regular basis and can provide some insight into your "drama". Alex didn't just block you out of nowhere. You kept pestering him about getting a Lamia for review, which he is not interested in doing and he told you as much. You then began entering his Lamia lottos with not only your main IG account, but also with several alt accounts in an attempt to increase your odds of winning. Not only was this blatantly against the rules of Alex's lottos, but also a very shady thing to do, so Alex blocked you for obvious reasons. A bit of advice for future reference, don't play the victim and publicly make someone out to be an asshole, if you're the cause of the drama.
I’m so over this nonsense dude. What would Lamia lottos have to do with him talking shit on my knife brand in his stories? Do you have proof of this pestering? I recall asking one time to buy one or be loaned one. Also, I entered in 1 Lamia lotto ever and have a business partner who has access to our Divo IG account. Maybe we both entered that 1 lotto? No idea what that is all about. All I see is someone talking shit after blocking me and sending his “homies” to come defend it.
Also, let’s say any of that happened which honestly I have no recollection of entering a lotto more than once, that is some dumb shit to get all hateful on somebody for. If you hit me up and said “dont enter lottos more than once” , id just say , “my bad, wont happen again” and life would move on. Like wtf?
Just for reference, my last comment here was in response to a comment the user deleted. Just in case someone says I “deleted” it, It was: “Chris Jaskulski: Kevin Johnson is the kind of buffoon that believes QSP OEM pieces are a viable business model…. don’t waste your breath trying to argue integrity here, Mr. Tide Pods.“
Haha yea idk dude. I try to avoid it but it kind of came up and got me from behind 🤣. Hard not to at-least address it but im not a child. Knife is a knife, gets a honest review
@@LeftyEDC absolutely, that’s why I enjoy your channel! That and you are a local boy! Was cracking up over your cheese steak convo on the live this weekend 🤣
Kev buddy buy a knife with mammoth bone handle--give to dog just before video starts. No barking. Seriously give the dog a pig ear or something keep it busy for a while.
@@LeftyEDC It must not be a normal finish for him..went to send you the link and it was gone..literally had to sell in just the last few days..went looking around other sights and couldn’t find a Curtiss in the same finish..mayb it was a collab or something because it was literally the same colors and everything
Did u actually watch the video? Because I corrected myself and said 60% 2 seconds after saying 100%. Are we just taking someones IG story as gospel now?
Drama aside I think it’s godawful ugly. 😂. I seen one earlier on Pocket Priorities that looked pretty good. But it’s just a plain Jane knife. I’ll stay with SHF I think.
lol he just called you out again on IG.. it's a cool knife and he's trying to ride the unobtanium rosie train right now.. let him be.. guy obviously has a chip on his shoulder and isn't fond of the recent wave of napkin designers such as null etc etc
I don’t think he’s trying to ride any train. He’s doing his own thing. There’s enough room for plenty of makers. If you only make one knife eventually that gets old as well.
@@sharpdad33 personally i think the whole thing is dumb. Everyone can do it the way they want to do it. Not sure why there is an issue with that from anyone. Not like our designs/way is interfering with his. Its completely different. Know what I mean?
Unfortunate to hear the guy was being a douche, but it’s dope asf that you’ll set the BS aside to talk about the things you enjoy on the knife. Like even a d-bag gets good publicity when they make something cool, like that finish.
Looks like a Roosevelt copy to me. Imagine that the pot calling the kettle black. I would be pissed for that kind of money with an off center blade and the lock up being that late.
I don’t see the Rosie but I get where your coming from. Looks more like a Spyderco Sage series knife or something to me. But all knives look like something these days
Yea “copy” was probably the wrong word. Maybe inspired. Yes that was my point…it’s not hard to find something that looks similar to something else in this day and age.
Awesome video man, glad you seemed to enjoy the knife. 👊

Thats amazing! A QC on bearings would be sick
It's interesting. Definitely a unique finish on the scales. Great video 👍

Thanks Brother, friend, epic person!
I like the milling in the blade though. That’s cool as shit
It's a cool knife that finish is BA why don't I have one of these great review Kev
I would love to get my hands on one of these. They are hard to get! 👍
Good stuff Kev, it is a good looking knife 👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks for sharing 👍 Señor Lefty
Was looking at getting one always check with you to see how it is lefty! Thanks Bro not for me

U guys in a group chat just scheming this dumb shit? 🤣. “I’ll go back ur comment up bro!” Come on. U have nothing better to do?
Just for reference, my last comment here was in response to a comment the user deleted.

I always go by how much across the blade tang. So 100% would be a gas station knife that the bar is touching the other side and can't go any further.
😂 yea its closer to 60% like I said a few seconds later. Ppl get all worked up over the littlest shit.
@@LeftyEDC yea, I agree with you and in all reality, I just try to comment something on each video to stimulate RUclips:)
What is it with Knives and Drama? This is why I left the knife forums years ago. Glad you gave this an honest review.
Haha yea idk dude. I try to avoid it but it kind of came up and got me from behind 🤣. Hard not to at-least address it but im not a child. Knife is a knife, gets a honest review

Is spk a Curtis knife? Curtis has this same finish
No it's an alex steingraber knife
Huh ill check them out. Its a sweet finish.

@@thecarproconnoisseur5412 interesting. Well they are customs so might have been a one off
I dont see how it is 100% lock up. I would say about 45 - 50 like CRK. Seems like you complain about everything.

Its very sexy....... just not at the 1000 dollar custom knife level yet...
I think this was like $700. Not bad imo

🤣 u crack me up dude. But if you read the comments, i started it and am in fact the real d-bag. So who knows whats really going on here.

Doesn’t look like the Roosevelt lmfao
You have your opinion I have mine.
