I have the black G10 version, and it's my new daily carry. Liked it so much I pre-ordered the titanium micarta (Knifecenter exclusive) version. That one will be my "dress" carry.
Love the pyrite, I'm excited to see blade hq exclusive in CF/ Titanium with S35vn. There's also some white mountain exclusive's out there. Fantastic knife, a much more inexpensive alternative to the bugout, giving the elementum a run for the money!!
Thanks for doing this video. I just ordered this knife in black steal. I can’t wait for it to arrive. I’m going to check out your benchmade proper review next
woah thanks i was looking for a review on simply the PYRITE and did not know there is such a version out there. Placed a (pre)-order on Knifecenter immediately after this review. thanks for the review and rgds from switzerland.
I am enjoying this same version of the Pyrite as well. It's a much better value than the $199 BladeHQ exclusive with S35VN and Carbon Fiber scales. I have two Malibu, in blue and black, and this holds up well against them.
Thanks for watching! I have carrying it as my main EDC since I opened it in that video. I like it very much. I do however have some criticism. At least on my example, their are some issues. But I am willing to put up with them because it’s been so nice to carry and use. I will be doing a follow up video after I get some more pocket time. I love the Malibu. Took me forever to find one for sale, but I finally got one. The standard for button locks I think!!
Thank you so much! I was going to bang out 2 more videos over the weekend because I’m so excited to share my hobby with the community. However both of my kids got sick and I was on daddy duty. But they are coming soon!
There’s just something about the liners it feels cheap. But I mean it is a cheap knife so. But these cheap knives are definitely getting better and better.
Thanks for watching!!! You know…I never noticed the clip length. Is. Nice length in my opinion and very functional. Some other titanium clips can be so rigid and very difficult to use. This one is great. Perfect retention and ease of use.
That’s a good looking knife. I’ll be honest I bought an Elementum button lock and it was… ok. Didn’t blow me away and it never has gotten any pocket time. This one looks like it would get carried
The titanium version of the elementum button lock is far better than the micarta and g10 versions. If you ever get a chance, give that one a try. I think you'll be surprised how much better it is.
I had one on back order they just sent me a shipping notice yesterday 😊 I already got the steel and g10 version, I’d love to get the blade hq special, but 200 is a lot for me, this one is awesome
Thanks for watching! They are both quite nice in my opinion. I do love the regular elementum for for its size. The button lock is larger. However, they are set to release the regular size in a button lock real soon. You can already place preorders for it……and I’m in on it! The pyrite is just as beautiful.
@@averageknifeguy83 I received the KC Pyrite and I like it a lot. I have a We Elementum (titanium and 20cv) that unfortunately is out of commission after carrying it at the beach. The sand must have gotten into the bearings or something. I saw the Elementum ii button lock and that thing will be a best seller for sure.
Thanks for watching! I’m using a cheap lapel mic I got off of Amazon. Great value! I’ll try to find it and link it here for you. It is really quite budget lol. Works good enough for me. I want better equipment but $$$$$…..
Great job for a first unboxing vid! Great job all the way around. I ordered the all steel version of this and should be delivered Saturday! Can't wait!!
I have the blue G-10 Pyrite and love it. I bought this version as an upgrade and the detent was way too strong. I couldn't reverse flick it. Ended up selling it. It's a shame as this would be a stellar exclusive otherwise.
I had a similar issue with mine. I couldn’t even thumb flick it. Spent a day and half opening and closing it with two hands and it eventually broke in. I’m guessing there was a burr left over from poor finishing.
I have the opposite issue. Just got mine last week and the detent is so weak that I can wrist flick it out without much effort at all. And the button sticks. I might have to return it. Frustrating.
Got this and was very disappointed with the button lock. The thumb studs had become useless cuz that button had the blade locked in. Had to disassemble it twice to fix it. Rotated the button itself around a bit. The face where the lock contacts the blade is rough, so pretty unhappy that such an important part was not up to standard in a $80+ knife. I’d be singing its praises otherwise…
Knife is trash. Have held one. Have used it. Too small, too light, no confidence in any part of it. This is their knee-jerk reaction to jump on the button lock bandwagon. Bought and returned promptly
Oh God! Spare me! Long non sequitur about a knife not in the video.... And then disjointed rambling about the box and then on the loop of the included case. Who the heck cares? What a waste of time.

Been slowly getting into the pocket knife stuff and appreciate the no music and just knife videos
Thanks for watching!! Really appreciate it!

Me too, looks like it’s gonna be awesome. Significant price hike though (which is understandable).

so gorgeous I bought one, waiting for it

The all steel/linerless model of the pyrite have by far the best action but this one is definitely the best looking

Great content. Hope to see more videos from your channel.
Thank you so much! I was going to bang out 2 more videos over the weekend because I’m so excited to share my hobby with the community. However both of my kids got sick and I was on daddy duty. But they are coming soon!
I went on Knifecenter to buy the Pyrite with the waves in the handle, but then I seen this one with the titanium bolsters and bought it instead.
Got a black steel one today. I was impressed right out of the box for under $50 it’s a great deal
I love the pyrite.Try the towser k button lock in 3v from White Mountain knives.
Thanks for watching and I will go check out that knife right after I finish this reply! Thanks
There’s just something about the liners it feels cheap. But I mean it is a cheap knife so. But these cheap knives are definitely getting better and better.
Like the titanium bolster, nice looking, my nitpicking,the clip is a little bit long
Thanks for watching!!! You know…I never noticed the clip length. Is. Nice length in my opinion and very functional. Some other titanium clips can be so rigid and very difficult to use. This one is great. Perfect retention and ease of use.
civivi titanium clip ;)
Love mine. Almost as good as the Vosteed Raccoon.
That’s a good looking knife. I’ll be honest I bought an Elementum button lock and it was… ok. Didn’t blow me away and it never has gotten any pocket time.
This one looks like it would get carried
The titanium version of the elementum button lock is far better than the micarta and g10 versions. If you ever get a chance, give that one a try. I think you'll be surprised how much better it is.
I like this knife, wish it was a little larger, maybe 3.7" blade.
I ordered this pre ordered in mid December still waiting
I've been looking buying this version. Thanks for the review!
No problem!! Thank you for watching!!
I had one on back order they just sent me a shipping notice yesterday 😊 I already got the steel and g10 version, I’d love to get the blade hq special, but 200 is a lot for me, this one is awesome
Good stuff... I just ordered mine from knife center.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it
Looking forward to the comparison with the Elementum. I’m waiting on the KC Pyrite to come in the mail!
Thanks for watching! They are both quite nice in my opinion. I do love the regular elementum for for its size. The button lock is larger. However, they are set to release the regular size in a button lock real soon. You can already place preorders for it……and I’m in on it! The pyrite is just as beautiful.

Thanks For The Looks 😎
Two drops of KPL Ultralight will wash out the grit. No need to open the knife 👍
Thanks for watching. I need to get some KPL people talk quite highly of it’s performance.
Love this knife! Subbed
Thank you!!
What is it with micarta I absolutely hate the stuff yet every new model of knife that comes out that I’m interested in is in bloody micarta
Your voice sounds so clear, what is your mic setup? Good review
Thanks for watching! I’m using a cheap lapel mic I got off of Amazon. Great value! I’ll try to find it and link it here for you. It is really quite budget lol. Works good enough for me. I want better equipment but $$$$$…..

Thank you very much! Nice! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
Do me a favor, toss the box before you do a video.
I would say this is the version to get

I prefer the first knife 😮
Lol. It is a beauty
Knife is trash. Have held one. Have used it.
Too small, too light, no confidence in any part of it.

Bought and returned promptly
You use a lot of words but say little.
Wasted 5 minutes of my time with unboxing. Does anyone really want to see unboxing? If so,… why?
Lol. Thanks for watching
@@averageknifeguy83 ,.. oh, LOL.. Thanks for replying.
Yeah I was actually hunting down a unboxing of this box lmao
@@loneliestshrimp1181 …. Well, I’m glad you found it then. Did you enjoy all five minutes of it? I know I didn’t.
It has "unboxing" written in the description of this video, if you don't like it why did you clicked on it?! Just to complain about it latter?
Oh God! Spare me! Long non sequitur about a knife not in the video.... And then disjointed rambling about the box and then on the loop of the included case. Who the heck cares? What a waste of time.
Lol
Taking way to long boring
Lol thanks for watching
