Great review! How would you compare the 035 to the Axial in terms of ease of open and close? Just curious as I'm down to the Axial Shift and the Recon 035 for my next purchase. I guess the other thing is the steel of the Recon is superior - would you agree? Thanks again!
Thanks for the great video! The switch on my Recon-040 feels very smooth when deploying the blade, but not nearly as smooth when retracting the blade. It feels like there is a bump it has to pass through before it retracts the blade. Is this typical, or should the switch feel just as smooth going both ways?
I have this one in all black. Awesome knife. My first OTF!

If I had to choose between the two I would definitely choose the Guardian. It is what I carry myself. Great action, great steel and solid.

Yay another one
JUST GOT ONE FROM YA! any ideas on the bevel angle?
It should be around the 14-20° mark. Congrats on the purchase! Let us know what you think!
@@NorthwestKnives I like 20 as a overall. I do all my own sharpening as well as others as a side gig. Thanks
