      DontBotherNone never been a transformer fan but even though this isn’t for me I love the fact that crkt innovations are top notch there’s always something new some work some don’t but I’m glade there trying for the next axis lock etc they do have a new dead bolt button lock looks super strong and like the axis it can be deployed and closed one handed

    I am left handed and this knife feels like it was made for me. Very easy to open and close one handed. This is the only knife I have that feels like it was made for a lefty. The picket clip is better than I thought it would be. Very easy to put in, and carries nice and deep.

      Exactly. You can get D2 in a quality blade for half the price give it take on finish and quality. But anything D2 tends to be at least well made if not exceptionally.

    • @taylor844
      @taylor844 5 лет назад +1

      I wish I didn't end up buying this, I have a Benchmade 940 as well and compared to this it in my opinion is not nearly as good as the 940 for everyday tasks. I know that they are different knives with different purposes but I just prefer the 940, for a lot less money, someone can get a much cheaper karambit and I don't see the point in a karambit that folds the way this one does, the karambit was meant mostly for self defense while the 940 was meant for other tasks, it can still be used for self defense but will not deliver anywhere near the lethality of the 940 (I'm not saying the karambit is a bad knife) but the 940 is overall in my opinion a knife you will use more than this karambit.

  • @crow6226
    @crow6226 5 лет назад +1

    Cool knife. I like that it does not close in the traditional manner that risks cutting fingers. $200 isn't that bad. It does seem like the fit price would be around $160 considering materials + typical CRKT prices, but $200 isn't too bad. Regardless of how "mall ninja" is looks, the folding method is very interesting. I would pick on up (let's face it...i will get one eventually) if I got bored one day. For $200, I would rather pick up another bugout with aftermarket scales and some lunch. Thanks for the video review.

  • @andrewcoffey4694
    @andrewcoffey4694 5 лет назад +1

    This is a great solution for defensive carry. The fixed blade laws where I am in Virginia are extremely vague and the law enforcement I’ve talked to advise to stay away from concealing anything fixed. (Which I think is insane because I have a CHP to conceal a firearm, but I’m not supposed to carry a knife.) This is the solution I’ve been looking for.

    • @zachstuff

    • @JathTech
      @JathTech 5 лет назад +1

      I've been playing with this thing for a while now, and I can say for certainty, it's far better than any "simple" folding blade. It's got two pinning points making it sturdy like a fixed blade. 1 extra moving part doesn't hurt anything when it's done right and improves things.

      Ahh now your tugging at my heart strings! Two good knives to save and purchase! I like the Provoke, but the day to day use is more limited than a regular folder.

    was it just your knife that was made with prototype screws or are they all made with those prototype screws?

    Very interesting karambit saw it on a video from upcoming crkt knives they had some cool new stuff like the push button lock called the deadbolt and another one with carbon fiber and bronze accents that looked cool to this ones odd but looks like it would be great for defense and the D2 is a plus hopefully crkt will keep it up with more D2 maybe some Vg10 and still keep there prices around the $100 mark for those who love there designs but not the steel.

      Zach’s Stuff if u haven’t seen it it was one of the last two videos from Blade HQ on crkts that button bolt lock is solid and opens and closes one handed with a better steel Benchmade would loose some cash because u can fidget with it like a Benchmade and for a cheaper price though I’m still a Benchmade axis lock guy love it and better steel than crkt if u haven’t seen it and aren’t to busy I’d give it a look.

  • @rickkerans8485
    @rickkerans8485 5 лет назад +1

    Like the review but not being a martial artist I wouldn't know how to properly use it. It is an interesting deployment method but if the screws are backing out and not locking properly when deployed those things worry me.

    • @zachstuff
      @zachstuff  5 лет назад

      Thanks Rick! Practice is needed with this knife, but that’s the fun part! The screws lock in and I am waiting to see today about why they are shipping loose etc. The designer already said this is something that should not be happening. But easily fixable.

    • @johnnyj.817
      @johnnyj.817 5 лет назад

      I would think if you hold it w/ the blade forward (pinky in ring) you deploy w/ thumb flick and then use it like one of those punching blades.

    • @zachstuff

    It needs a bit more thought put into it. They need to factory loctite the screws and your index finger fits super close to the blade with no indent to keep your finger from slipping towards the blade. I think the knife is an accident waiting to happen.
