      Sorry I seem to have left that very important detail out (I will have to start scripting these 😬) Retail is $300 if you are willing to order from Chris Reeves and wait it out... I paid significantly more because I'm not very smart 🤣

    Sick knife. I'm looking for a backpacking knife, this wont come fast enough and is likely a bit too expensive for the job at hand. However, I take good care of my stuff, so I could maybe? justify it😂. I would love to see a size comparison with the the Overland and Overland sport. I have a feeling this crk could be the Goldilocks.

    • @EDChero
      @EDChero  3 месяца назад +1

      I have a pretty ridiculous amount of fixed blades and I can't imagine a better backpack knife than this. Partly because it was made to be a backpack knife and has no belt attachment (I wish it did). The TRC Polheim would be my second choice but I think the CRK would be a better all around knife and definitely lighter 🏆

      @EDChero  Месяц назад

      @karlbailey1730 Unfortunately I forgot to mention in the video that one of areas of improvement I'd like to see would be for CRK to add a belt loop attachment of some kind, or an optional belt sheath as an upgrade perhaps. Personally I would like that but I do believe the knife was designed as a true backpack knife (just a guess) so in their eyes a mounting system was unnecessary. The knife is so small and light I can at least understand where they were coming from. Thanks for tuning in 🏆

I felt the same way, I thought it was dumb AF 😂 Butt, after handling the knife in person it isn't so bad... Aesthetically It isn't ideal for me, however in hand it just works somehow you don't feel it and the handle is actually super comfortable! I was surprised honestly. I absolutely love the blade shape, and when the knife is in hand all I see is that incredible geometry 🤩. It's really something to behold. 🏆

      I’m an old school 16 year disabled combat veteran, 18b
      All these super steels to me are like how Baskin Robbin’s went from 10
      To 31 flavors of ice cream
      I still only eat 3
      Anyway, give me a good steel that I can easily touch up in the field with minimal work
      Stropping preferably
      I’ll take 1075 on a machete
      1095 on a blade
      My blades are tools not museum pieces
      I take care of them and use them for their intended purpose
      I don’t use a blade as an axe
      However, on occasion I will use a hatchet as a blade
      Particularly smaller hand hatchets
      Call me old and out of touch
      However I have other blades in different steels 3V, AEB-L, CPM varieties
      And I don’t mind some of these steels
      Hell I’d take a magnacut folder for my pants pocket
      But I still enjoy my three flavors, particularly where I know they work perfectly for me ✌️🇺🇸

    "I wear a large size medical glove" what a weird choice of glove for comparison. maybe leave the "medical" part out next time.

    • @EDChero
      @EDChero  3 месяца назад +2

      @ttattx Thanks for tuning in, I'll tell you my reasoning. Large medical gloves are pretty standard in size so I used that for reference. I'm also in the medical field, so I have a lot of experience with large medical gloves. Im purely assuming that any box of rubber or nitrile gloves from say Harbor Freight or the like are somewhat consistent in size. A "large" glove from different manufacturers could be all kind of varying sizes of random glove 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just trying to bring some consistency and accuracy where I can hope that helped 👍🏼

Some types of gloves are interchangeable but in my experience, there is a difference between them with most brands. With any brand of exam gloves though, i’m a large. Keep the specificity in my man.
