  • Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
  • The Laconico Keen is a knife produced by We Knives, and pimped by Massdrop. Purveyor of EDC things you wait patiently six months for. This review examines the overall purpleness of the handle, the flipping action, dimensions and more. You'll see a few other familiar knives in this review like the Benchmade Fact, The Headesigns Poison, some Sinkevich clone thing from Gear Best, and maybe the Spyderco Caribbean. The knife is designed by Ray Laconice and features an S35vn blade, a purple titanitum handle, a ceramic ball bearing pivot mechanism, and purple pocket clip.

    The name of your channel could not be more accurate or fitting. You truly are an advanced knife guy. SOOOO refreshing. I like the work of Shabazz and others solely for the amount of insight provided in a relatively short amount of time, without me having to sacrifice my time or money. But the format is SOOO dull and monotonous. I sincerely hope that your channel eventually cultivates a new crop of knife reviewers who don’t know the exact chromium or nitrogen composition of every blade steel ever made or compare the action of every knife they review to a Grismo Norseman or a Holts Specter, but who provide insight while also providing a “Keen” sense of humor and clear perspective into the world of knives and how truly ridiculous and comical it is. In short, I absolutely love the channel and hopefully you continue to do great reviews until the time comes when you can pass the torch down to another worthy reviewer. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
    PS- I will NEVER own a purple knife, if for no other reason than sheer spite. My Keen is currently in route...it is bronze.

    Think I'll pass on this one, but I'm still tempted to get a purple Spyderco of some kind. After I saw your video about the BLF Q8 a couple of weeks ago, I bought one from a seller who had them on sale for just $40. Even got the pink Samsung 30Q batteries like you suggested. It's already come in handy a few times around the house while we've been making some renovations. I just put it on the tripod and point it where we need it. Awesome and CRAZY bright. I actually shined it on the clouds a few nights ago during a low overcast.

    I like that blade shape. I agree that a blade with good lines seems to cut better with normal tasks. Like food prep. That doesn't have thumb studs or a thumb hole either. Even better for food prep. Probably why you had so much food in this video. I know people like to be all "tactical". But I have three kids and use my knives for food prep, and cutting all kinds of packaging more than anything else. Good looking blade. Good review.

    You should check out the Ontario Carter Prime, I really think you would enjoy it. It has all your favorite knife features - high end text/lettering on the blade, a bitchin' hollow grind, and a fancy titanium pocket clip that may or may not keep the beast from going airborne at your local playground. Doesn't come in purple though, which may be a deal breaker for you...

    Carrot batoning is still batoning. The l̶e̶f̶t̶y̶ mutant option is definitely tempting. As a l̶e̶f̶t̶y̶ mutant & fellow purple knife enthusiast, I've never owned a l̶e̶f̶t̶ mutant handed knife (excluding ambi lock designs). Alway carried right handed since my first knife with a clip wasn't drilled & tapped for l̶e̶f̶t̶y̶ mutant carry.

    Blade stock is on the thick side for what the knife is. 0.100 inches is plenty for an eyepiece of a gentleman's knife. At least is somewhat thin behind the edge but the wedging in the carrots was indicative about form before function. I like the color too. Botomline you saved the video with the carrots battoning. For a moment I was worried you left the true course of the real RUclips knife reviewer.

    Though I'm not a fan of Spyderco's blurple, I do really like that Keen purple - handle knife. Love the shape, the FFG, and if by now it's in bigger production, I dont consider it that expensive for the quality, and the fit and finish that one gets. Shame it couldn't have been a wee bit smaller.

    Always had a feeling the old CR-V was mildly tactical, thanks for the confirmation. On another note, have you ever seen the Manly knives Peak (the one handed version, specifically)? Now maybe it's because I am a red-blooded man that drinks whisky and doesn't buy nearly enough deodorant, but it looks super appealing to me, kind of like something Spyderco would design in house, you know, good. Got a steel option between D2/CPM154 and S90V, and all are cheaper than a Delica for me plus it's a large-ish knife, so I thought hey, this is a pretty Advanced Knife Bro thing.
    Anyway, now that I sound like a brand rep for them, thanks for the video, really like your content.
