I'll say it again. Remette is coming on hard. This is on the small end of my preferences but I really like it. I will always say a liner lock has the best action.
Really enjoying your content. It looks good, really like that Rike 1902'ish blade profile, definitely looks like a very good value too, but honestly the sped hole handle phase can't be over fast enough for me. Hope they make a standard handle variant. Over the years I've tried several knives out as daily drivers, and my personal favorite EDC budget banger is the Civivi Baklash in black G10 with anodized blue liner for $42. It's been my work EDC for three years and it still looks great and deploys as crisp as ever. Loved it so much I picked up the black ebony wood/satin blade variant too. Best $55 dollar knife I've ever purchased, it looks and feels like a much more expensive knife.
I like the toothpick! The knife is a little small for my tastes, but I'd be interested in an L version. Regarding the ability to take a low edge angle -- hardness is the primary factor rather than toughness.
The toothpick is surprisingly usefull!on the topic of edge retention(not wear resistance) Hardness plays a major role for sure but testing data from both Larrin Thomas and Pete from Cedric and Ada would suggest that as long as the steel is within normal rc ranges edge geometry plays the bigger role .. have you checked out the cut test data on the spreadsheet Pete put together? 62 hrc magnacut mule outcut the zdp189 mule and the k390 mule both with higher rockwell and not by an insignificant amount either.. of course I'm just extrapolating, it's a great convo piece for steel enthusiasts😂🍻
@@Rollshambo Totally agree that edge geometry is the biggest factor. My point is that hardness is a bigger factor than toughness in terms of being able to maintain a lower edge angle. Like you, I thought it was the other way around, but none other than Larrin Thomas corrected me (on Blade Forums). Hardness determines how low you can go and maintain edge stability. Toughness relates to what happens when you go too far and compromise edge stability. The tougher steel will dent or roll. A steel lacking toughness will chip or crack. Definitely an interesting topic ... for nerds. :)
I dont carry my knives so i get to save on getting the base blade steel composition everytime. And if i do end up using it its for a task that any steel would be able to accomplish. If your using ur knife daily, on mostly outdoor tasks or at ur job where a pocket knife is a must have tool, maybe a plumber or electrician, then i understand spending extra money on the super steel.... But cmon....if ur like me and all ur knives spend their life in their warm cozy bed and only are allowed to come out to play for 5min fidget playtime only .. then save urself some money n get the reg steel comp.....
@@TheDemocultis if u have the money to opt for the premium steel on a keep clean knife, do you. But if it's not a user i just don't see the point. Unless u expect to sell it down the road knowing it'll be an easier sell with premium steel....but other than that ..
57-59 is the appropriate range for 14c for a normal heat treat..the exception is companies that utilize a vacuum+ cryotreat process to achieve harder rockwell..I prefer a cryotreated bladesteel in general but 14c in the normal range isn't an issue, we see similar rockwell targets with competing steel 154cm and it also performs well in that range, so to me while I do prefer 14c at 60-62 with a cryotreat I don't mind 14c at 57-59
The Land 812 is $55 on Amazon. A Sebenza knockoff, and very well made. U.S. knife manufacturers taught the Chinese how to produce quality knives when they moved much of their production over there years ago. There is no reason to pay U.S. companies excessive prices when the Chinese knives are just as good.

They've been very receptive to the community and it's resulted in some exceptional pieces..I can get on board with that!
Pshhh.....say it again lil mama
Speaking the wisdom of Larrin. I have learned a LOT listening to his stuff.
We all have! The community is lucky to have him doing the hard work🍻
I like the budget version better because it’s a liner lock. I’d buy it. Nice piece from Remette. Thanks for the review RSB 👍🏻✌🏻
Sure is good lookin. May have to get my hands on one
That’s awesome so important to have the exact budget version of a great knife!

It's on the list!

I like them both!
Hey Roll,
Whatcha think of the HRC on their 14C? We know 14C has one of the widest ranges for HRC, but not sure about 57 or 58. Thoughts?
Fine for everyday tasks. Decent life time before dulling
57-59 is the appropriate range for 14c for a normal heat treat..the exception is companies that utilize a vacuum+ cryotreat process to achieve harder rockwell..I prefer a cryotreated bladesteel in general but 14c in the normal range isn't an issue, we see similar rockwell targets with competing steel 154cm and it also performs well in that range, so to me while I do prefer 14c at 60-62 with a cryotreat I don't mind 14c at 57-59
14c28n is budget magnacut. Fight me.
Except 14c is both tougher and more corrosion resistant than magnacut..easier and less expensive to manufacture too..I have lots of love for 14c🔥🔥
