I’ve been running my Piranha Excalibur for a decade. Super solid.
Just bought a Krate double edged, quite happy with it.
Pros? Cons? Obviously it’s new so not much pocket time but what’s your take so far?
@Robert-sz2rs I've actuated it hundreds of times just to see if it would malfunction,but all good. It seems well built. The only thing that I would comment on is that it didn't come with much of an edge, but that was easily rectified.
I unbox the Hogue Knives Compound OTF 3.5 in clip point. S30V blade steel.

Right on man.
I thought I was the only one who sticks a bunch of candy in the box when I ship something. Especially international sales. You can find statistics on the most popular flavors in the country you are shipping to. Then find out what kind of candy isn’t sold there. I was shipping something to a country that loves peanut butter candy, but doesn’t have Reese’s. Apparently, certain luxury stores import them to sell for hugely inflated prices. So I grabbed two of every Reese’s variety at my local store and basically used peanut butter cups in place of packing material.
That's awesome. I'd import a lot of videogames and stuff from Japan/Asia, and sometimes they'd have little extras, or use their local paper as packing paper, but I don't think I ever got candy.... I love their candy, as it's generally less sweet and normal colors, rather than our dye your tongue crap too... You guys sold me. Adding candy/snacks needs to become standard practice!
Every once in a while I get a single tea bag or some candies when I import stuff, always makes me laugh. Though sometimes it can cause some issues with customs. In one very specific instance, Japanese customs blocked a package because on the declaration, the item was listed as gum, which it wasn't. It was some blind boxes of NFC figurines for a nintendo switch game, but because of the theming and marketing everything had food names.
I do a bit of domestic shipping and it isn't a problem as long as it isn't liquid, just something to keep in mind.
I'm late to the party but i just found ur channel. For warning I'm right handed. I really wanted to check out Houge knives but you're doing it for me so thank you
That seems like an awesome otf. I have really been digging my Hogue collector series counterstrike.
Right hand biased as he proceeds to open and close with his left hand!
1:34 ayooo😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one who caught that💀
That thumb switch is a hot spot in full grip.
Aww yeah Lefty bro . That s not a bad gig checking out as many knives as possible and then designing your own with that knife connosoir experience 👍.
I have carried a Compound for over a year and I love it. I rotate between it and an AD20.5
Lot of travel in the switch. I personally love all things tritium and was getting tritium watches 20 years ago. Swiss microtec dive watch was my favorite.
I gave up on OTF when I discovered that in EDC any little lint or dirt in the Housing prevents firing. Every single time you need it, the blade sticks from pocket lint
A knife channel and dedicated to the lefthanded community??!! Win,win!
🙏🏽
I like it. Looks well designed handle switch I like the longer switch action and blade profile. I'm sure it's sharper and a better blade handle, and you can just tell it's going to outlast the aluminum one looks like better quality. I give it 5 outta 5. I would buy it. Good job guys.
Not a lefty, but I've never failed to be satisfied with a Hogue knife. I have a decent collection (production knives--microtech, spyderco, benchmade, etc.) and I put a hogue knife in my pocket every day (I play with the others after work!) They (Hogue) sometimes use inferior materials (e.g. 154CM), but the design and execution with the given materials is always superb.
At this point in my knife collecting journey I have reached a level of skill as it pertains to maintaining an edge that has left me hardly caring about the specific steel; as long as it has been decently heat treated and is at least as capable as regular old 420.
In fact some of my favorite knives that I own in the collection have ended Ik being in 420 specifically for that reason. Even my 63hrc magnacut knives get abused so hard they rarely go a day without experiencing damage to the edge. So when it happens with my cheap knives I am able to quickly fix it. Trying to keep a super steel edge perfect every day when you’re using it for hard blue collar labor type work is a mf nightmare. I can get a 420 blade sharp in 2 minutes using building materials on the job site.
I just got the houge k320 the collaboration with sig saurs p320 pistol i love this knife dont hand it to someone whos never opened auto it opens like a microtech stich almost ok take care be well
154cm is an excellent knife steel. Takes an amazing edge and easy to sharpen.
@@BroosDager You'll get no argument from me.
Honestly I feel like hogue's lower priced knives are some of the best value on the market. I don't really like their higher dollar ones though. If I'm going to spend $300-500 on a knife, I'm going to want some better steel than s30v, not that s30v is bad or that they only use that. But you're right they don't really go for the higher end steels as often even with more expensive knives. Call me old school but I still like microtech for otf knives. I'm carrying a dual edge hera right now and can't believe how much I like it. I've always thought that I'd like a dual edge and I was right, it's insanely handy to have full serrations on one side
The longer switch is better, less chance of accidental firing.I have several OTF,but the lack of a safety always bothered me.
Yea but its about consistent pressure not just jamming the switch forward. So i think accidental deployment is very difficult on a well made otf.
I really like seeing a left hand knife evaluator. I actually only have one arm and it's not my right.
1:34 Yes, I have one right here! Its bulky, but I consider it carry on -Ventura
that click/clunk when the mash closes is 👌👌👌👌
Haha i actually dont like that
I've carried a 50$ Atomic microtech clone for 3 yrs , never had a malfunction, failure , it's easy to sharpen, a good knife , only negative is it's heavy.
Not only have I grown to dislike Tony but I’ve had more misfires on MTs than anything else I’ve owned. And I’ve had marfione customs all the way up to 3k. I picked up a Hogue Deka carbon with the trit inlay and it’s easily the best knife I’ve owned. Hogue is absolutely killing it.
Try Atomic's "Atomic Lance" They weigh little less compared to their "defender" series plus it'll run well with microtech springs.
Clones are the way to go. I don't need to pay 300% more to prove my bonefides to my buddies on the net.
Some of the best automatics I've owned have well been worth it. Besides, losing A $400 infidel on a moving gig tends to sting.
$50, not 50$. Return to school.
@@wehrewulf If you want to be technical, you should work on your sentence structure.
G10 structurally is stronger than aluminum… thats why cold steel used it on its recon 1 without liners and is super strong!
I just ordered one. Can’t wait to get it
Awesome! Its soo good
got a simple otf tanto called the lighting I've carried for at least ten years was a 19.95 knife at a gun show. never had a problem with it. you can buy a brand name..
My goodness, the sights and sounds of this Hogue OTF. My state prohibits all but 2 inches of an automatic blade, but I wonder if a retailer will send me one if I promise to keep it inside the home.
U in CA? I think the law is just for carry. But im not a lawyer
@@LeftyEDC I think "in the home" possession may be the narrow exception in California, but I'm not absolutely sure. I discovered that online retailers will either make full-length automatics unavailable to a shipping location or set up additional hoops.
@cletus enos I think auto laws are similar here in MA and I've had no problem ordering em from BHQ & Knife Center
@@EricJh21690 Thank you. That's good knowledge.
You live in the wrong state sounds like..
I’d be afraid that intro knife would spring open in my pocket and I’d become a soprano
The Hogue is popping the microphone when fired. I love me some tritium- might havta get me that Hogue.
I prefer alloy at about 58 Rockwell. I'm partial to, 01 and L6, of course, no one uses it for folders anymore.
Nice. Another unobtainium otf.
To be fair, this planet is “right hand biased” 😉
The G10 sounds like when you strike the flint wheel of a cigarette lighter
Personally I think Guardian Tactical has the best action around. While the GT isn't greatest looking, as its kinda plain. I just think the Compounds frame is a little silly looking. The Hogue Counterstrike on the other hand has a much better look I'd be more intrigued with that model.
I believe they make a tanto version, not sure on the sheepsfoot. Maybe could be an exclusive somewhere.
I still like my 18" Italian switchblade better , it's the nostalgia thing.
He sounds buzzed. Great vid.
Haha definitely not buzzed. I don’t partake in anything
Which knife is your first one, anf is the black blade one your favourite?
My first knife? Idk i was probably 12.
Nice comparison! Nice video!
The SOG PENTAGON OTF locks up tight and is affordable attainable. $1000 for the other OTF knife is way overpriced even if I could afford it afford it
Can you use otc style knife for self defense or EDC?
Sure, both. Depends on training and everything though
Nice knife 🔪, I prefer a pew pew for the price. I’m still willing to get for EDC.
I got the compound for my cousin as a gift. He digs it.
I can't believe I missed the Mash. It hurts to see how cool it is and not have in my hand.
Lol ... Ill keep my $30 Kershaw SpeedSafe thats been in my pocket for the Last 12-14 years. Its cut everything i ever needed it to, n i only have to sharpen it like once or twice a month. Its got a reversable pocket clip(yes... Im a lefty too, so that matters to me). I can shave with it, its that sharp! Lol 😂 n the best part is the $30 price tag n the flashlight that came with it, n they both still work
Iike the day i took them out the package from WalMart. I bought 2nd one just in case! 😂
So, the one with the low switch is a lot like a Micro tech UTX 85 switch it's low.
You pass the vibe check dude 😂 👍
Thanks. OTFs are fun, but blade wiggle is a no go, if your other non-OTF knives did this you would return them. Somebody will engineer this away at a reasonable cost soon I hope.
If I gotta be picky, it's regrettable that the switch travel is so long. Might be necessary to get it to fire so well.
Man those look good but you should try a Wilcox Tactical. Id say they have them beat for lower price.
Who makes that other OTF you have in the video? That thing is beautiful.
Heretic
With blade side movement like that I wouldn't put much faith into how well the blade is anchored into the handle. That being said, I suppose the positive takeaway it that at least if it fails it won't fold into your fingers.
Hey Kev any plans for a deadlock?
Id like to try one yea
Where did you get aluminum bit driver? That is sweet
Not sure which one. The lolipop one? Thats on amazon
I love my trudoon or however it's spelled. Might try me one of these. Good vid.
What kind of screwdriver is that
Whats the other otf looks pretty sweet to
I went to Blue Ridge knives website and viewed all their knives & searched for Heretic Colossus OTF. Can you provide a link? Love your videos,
Thanks
Link would be in the description. It was Blue Creek Knives but they went out of business. Check out Blade HQ
Is there knife that shoots out with button press. But will also self retract with button press. Not a slide. Like a self retracting otf?
Not that i know of. That would be electric or something. Winter blade co is working on something like that
Yeah I've got one, it's pretty good, but if you want the best OTF that would be the Hawk Deadlock. I literally have at least one of every brand readily available, most of the models from the bigger better ones. None of them even come close.
You are right if you want a OTF Built like a tank and guaranteed not to fail ever, the Hawk Deadlock is the shizzle!!! But it comes dear with a base price of $1,100 before customization.
@@Revenant483 they do cost money for sure, the latest batch were 2000$ which is a lot. A signature series glykon is more and all of the other brands also have models with similar materials and price point s but they still don't lock solid or have nearly as smooth action. The post just said best and doesn't mention price. I'll still say you can find a user for around a grand, that's a good value if you don't lose it....I'm a junkie tho lol I love my lightning elite too ;)
I said Best I’ve Tried. Havent owned or reviewed a Hawk. Would love to
My standard is the microtec which you can hammer through a two by four. If any pass that test, I'll take a look at it
@@davidmercer5561 I've been told my deadlock will do that, but I'm not trying it and I haven't really talked to anyone else that EDC's one except for me. It seems like it would but damn it was pricey....I have actually done it with a Dirac Delta, didn't hurt it a bit. I also used an ultra tech to punch a hole in a steel fuel tank once, long story short, screwed the edge real bad but sent it in with a letter and they put a new blade in it:)
so yeah...I'm with you....
That new Kershaw looks nice...I wonder.....dang it lol
What’s the name of the bigger blade? I’m trying to find it.
Generally, the cheaper an OTF the more metallic ding, good ones make more of a thunky click.
And now the domain is available to buy.
As a lefty myself how do you feel a button lock works for left handed use
Depends on the button lock. The actuation and disengage are great. Just as easy. But if it has a hole for deployment it studs it can sometimes get in the way
I would like some info on the OTF you used for comparison
Heretic Collosus?
Any chance you’ll review the new kershaw otf? Looks interesting imo
The Kershaw Livewire D/A OTF Automatic is $239.95 Pre-order on BHQ
Yea have one coming. BladeOps has them now. bladeops.com/kershaw-livewire-otf-auto-knife-stonewash-cv20-blade/?aff=11&fbclid=PAAabjGfgclLw8lEaaNg1aSMpAsokiG0gIq0rjy2tWseg4uFEsZ_C3iNkEIWE
@@LeftyEDC Noice!!!
I Just ordered one I’m super pumped get it
Very cool! Great video 👍
what's the name of the tool You use to tightening the screws ?
A bit driver. Probably GetGoodSkrew or Audacious Concepts Driver
@@LeftyEDC I found it - thx
I had no love for an otf at all. Until I found the hogue lines. I had three of the Microtech, and all three were not fun, but I have the compound and the hadron. And they are constantly on me.
60-61 is ideal. But not for edge retention. 60-61 is good for well rounded use
I think that has been disproven but to each their own. If u have an edc knife you would want 64. In a fixed blade even id want 62. 60-61 is just on the soft side. But its kind of subjective
The reaction to the candy was very sus
The kershaw livewire is awesome!
They also make the best Autos and best button locks without a doubt
If they actually made them...
@@wehrewulf are you suggesting Hogue Knives doesn't make their knives ?
Hogue bringin’ it!
I like this one and the new collector series otf is a beauty
I'm surprised tritium isnt more popular in the auto knife market
Right. This one looks like the same idea on my Microtech Navy Scarab
Nice video man. NEED A GOOD RECOMMENDATION FOR A CHEAP KNIFE FOR MY LEFTY BROTHER? Not wanting to be cheap but I’m both poor and disabled.
There are soo many options. Watch a bunch of my videos and decide. Miguron Moyarl perhaps?
So one thing I want to know about this...or any OTF knife for that matter before I consider buying it....if you put the end of the knife against an object...like a cardboard box and then deploy the blade, will the blade penetrate the cardboard, or will it jump off the track like I has seen so many other OTF knives do over the years?
It’ll jump. Especially if u put it that close. I have some videos on it
If you want an OTF that'll do that, then you need to make it yourself....also, you know that's not what OTF knives are designed for, right? Because safety.......🙄🤷♂️🤦♂️
I’ve heard nothing but good things about their otfs. Love that the handle is g10. Not really an otf guy but might have to pick one of these up. This video made me get my ultratech out to carry for work tomorrow. Haven’t carried it in at least a year. Don’t know if you read all the comments but I got Karbadize to make me an 80s carbon scale for my firetac and it’s 🔥!!!
When I saw the video of your Evo I had to get some.
Awesome dude! That scale sounds sick
Yeah man it looks so damn good! I’ll have it in my pocket at blade show Atlanta. I’ll swing by your table and show it to you. Love the content man keep it coming.
I'm like you I like the hogue better. I'm not really an auto guy especially the ones with skinny blades but that on looks cool.
Have you tried the Axial Shift?
Yea i have some videos on it. Great otf
Where did u get the mini screwdriver from??
Ok, so HOW do you get knives? I went to Hogue, they don't ship anything automatic and apparently no dealers exist for them, according to their website.
Check dealers. Like BladeHQ , here are some available shrsl.com/4h93w
@@LeftyEDC Bless you ;-)
Where do you get a tray like that?
Tinkerforce
And think, you could also leave the knives open so we could see them
How many knives do you have collected? I’m new to the channel.
Probably 50 or so total
My microtec never wiggles...
I like colossus blade shape way better
Right at 300 bills.. unfortunately , not in my budget. However, if for some reason I someday can drop 300 bucks on a pocketknife, id give it a look. Until then, 20 dollar knife for my poor ars
It sounds like it’s full of sand?
I want an otf knife. If I had the money, I would get the John wick off knife. 😫😮💨
Switch looks so tall and far back😮
Wow looks great
The Gravity knife is the five speed SS nitrous 16v custom and the OTF is the automatic 6c with CB antennae, curb feelers,8trak and a ski rack, "Oh The Fun!" lol
I own a few of each and I do not agree. A lot of it I think is muscle memory, one does better with lots of practice. I like my EXO-M for the weight/compactness. I like my MT otf knives for that 12 ga pump shotgun effect.
PERFECTTTT, SHOOTS HARDS AFFF
What does “OTF” stand-for?
Never mind…I looked it up ;-)
Be nice to get a ok of 89 Upper Deck cards instead of the 90 Fleer. You'd have a shot at the Griffey Jr rookie 😂
What was the name of that driver you were using? Didn’t see it in the links except the stubby.
Audacious concepts anso driver
If you think this is the best you should try the Kershaw livewire same steel better switch
Its actually 20CV this is S30V. Livewire video is up on the channel. They are a bit different but also similar. I like both
