Haha well when I edit or did (not really making vids anymore) I see redundancies and nonconformaties and try to chop all of that out... lmfao... I kind of believe if they are just not knowing what to do with their hands, it's either A. Their still not comfortable on camera B. Didn't put any thought into the vid prior to C. Simply just don't give a shit lol
It does look sick man. It's not one I need to get but would love to check out. There's not many out there anymore I'm DYING to check out lol... its a sad day
I just got that one today, same tiger stripe pattern, its a pretty incredible design, i have large hands and it fits perfectly when i choke up on that nice sized choil, definitely one of the more unique designs along with the vision r that i also enjoy.
Ohhhh you jerk... its comments like these thay motivate me to do more .... and I'm hating simply reviewing knives lmfao at the end of the day unless it's a piece of sh#$ or amazing beyond amazing... they are all the Damn same... but thanks to your positive comments .... I have more that I can do ... *lowers head*
Chilling along a review...and then *BAM* "They're all the f*ing same!"...Did my wife call you up Tyler 😄 🤣? JK! But that's what she always says 😃. Thanks for your time and effort brotha!
Not a bad looking knife-shaped knife, as Ray's designs tend to be. I think there is always some basic shape of knife that appeals to each of us, and Laconico and a few others are really good at hitting that median point where a lot of people like most of his knives. Some people may be tired of a mundane drop point or spear point blade, but they are effective profiles for so many tasks. Thanks for the look, T! I hope you are having a good weekend up there!
So I will say I've narrowed down my collection to a shaman in elmax, manix 2 in rex 45, injosi, sebenza, ad 20.5, Bridgeport knife Co 364 or whatever, and the evoke. I enjoy how slim it is, and I've come to love it much more than the review indicates. Keep in mind, thabks to the channel promoting my addiction, I've handled probably well over 500 knives on my journey... I say that to say, the evoke is pretty cool ;)
Nice knife…but a boring $220-ish. Same as the WE Big Banter …a snoozer $150. 🤷🏼♂️. I like plain designs, you know that, but I’d have to absolutely LOVE it for $220+. Side note - I absolutely LOVE the “my thoughts” (8:30) section…I hope this continues moving forward. Just give it a straight forward approach, good stuff man!!
I've don't agree in this one (in the most respectful way possible) - I do agree as Americans we should come first from our own. I've had in depth convos with Shieldon via Skype about their clones and the state of their company. That convo really changed perception on not buying Chinese. If not supporting our enemies means we in turn have to suffer at inflated prices for less (looking at medford) then what's the point at all? And for a frame of reference this is coming from a guy who served in the navy for 7 years honorably (although my Drunken nights resulted in less than honorable behaviors lol) there are no good budget brands in the US. Spyderco is cool, but they have a location in China, so do we write them off? Benchmades quality still sucks when compared to hogue so not really there, trm is hard af to obtain. Kershaw eh maybe? Are they made in America completely? Crkt is JUST OK gerber is no go, case maybe? Point here is America does it self no favors in the sub 200 market and def does no favors on the expensive side, hoback drama, hinderer and transparent knives, medford the open racist and 600 dollars for something that should be 300, koenig (did he steal the arius design), microtech bullying retailers lol.. strider stolen Valor, lol its like crk is one of the few untouched and unblemished along with hogue imo. This is my thoughts and I am VERY open to a meaningful discussion as long as it doesn't digress into belligerence lol
@@EEDC are we not capitalists? i know i am. i'd by a dozen knives from CHYNA before i'd but one overpriced boat anchor from a bloviating 'murican blowhard. yanow?
Just wanted to thank you for not flicking knife open and close 40000 times like other you tubers. Drives me fucking nuts

Nice review w/ comments and opinions. Keep it up.

Jerk?
Lol was being playful and sarcastic brotha
@@EEDC I'm with you, Bubba!
Another good looking design from Ray. Great video brotha 👍

I got one of these on the way! Do you have a particular grease you'd recommend?
The detent on mine is perfect. Awesome knife
I like everything from Ray Laconico. This is nice knife

Big fan of Laconico designs, but passed on this one. Have had only one WE knive with weak detent and it was a KiteFin, the rest were perfect.

Think bare hand ✋ look fine.
I have no idea what you mean here dude?
@@EEDC black glove make handling look awkward. Bare hand look better.

I would pass as so many WE Knives before. WE Knives are kind of soulless.
Everything that comes from China has a bad vibe. As Americans we should do our best to avoid Chinese product. Supporting enemies isn’t very smart.
