Thanks for the video! I think I may have seen this model last year, but glossed over it. I really like the design and especially the sheath, so went ahead and ordered the burlap micarta version My main concern is in laying down a new or wider edge bevel with those CNC grooves coming down, so will have to remove a lot more steel to keep the same grind. I have a guided sharpener job so will see how that works out. My other immediate change will be to redo the lanyard. I like lanyards, but this one is way too long for some reason. (?). I’m looking forward to getting the knife, and plan to carry it on my left side in a modified scout carry with the butt forward, which seems much more practical to me than strong side with the knife angle pointing to the rear. Thanks again for the introduction and first look! 👍
I love that knife! Definitely will try to get one at some point. Thank you for the recommendation, and information on this company and their knives. God bless.
Why didn't you finish the main bevels? Those cnc lines look horrible, everything else about the knife looks great and I love the blade shape itself. I just couldn't spend that kind of money on a 3/4 finished knife.
its an amazing knife, I understand americans like their products USA made, but honestly 300 for a knife is not exactly patriotic I would say, I love tkell knives but I just cant have a tool that's so expensive and ill be scare to lose. prompts to who ever can buy it, its a lovely knife
They said it’s a 17 degree angle, so not thick, but I agree those ridges are going to require more steel to be removed to maintain the same bevel profile as you sharpen. So, yeah, looks cool, but not sure how practical it will be in the long run. I’m willing to give it a try though.
I have the RMJ knives with mill marks on the blade, it doesn't bother the sharpening. However if you make a bad stroke or mess the angle up you will nick the marks making the geometry/coating look a bit off.
@RoyalWulffDry That's one reason I commented. I have the RMJ Sparrow (green handle). Those ridges go almost all the way to the edge. Thick. I do love that little edc knife, though.
@@RoyalWulffDryThis is helpful info, thanks! It will be a while before this blade will need to be sharpened, but I have a TSPROF so hope to keep the bevel even.
@@JustinCase-em6ql They make great tools and the steel snobs hate em, gotta love it. That little sparrow is next on the list. I have the UCap and Raider.
Bought 2 of these last year. Gave one to my brother for Christmas. Yes, he's a lucky guy 😂
Just found this video now I am subscribed. Keep up on the great videos brother
Very nice package, thanks for the descriptions! Keep the made by hand artesians working! Theres not many anymore.😊

Beautiful knives! Will there be an aftermarket kydex sheath available?

The relatively low price of this knife and sheath forced me to buy it. I had no power over this decision.
I will be forced as well
Exactly wtf else were u gonna do :)
I think I missed it, whats the weight on this bad boy? FYI you have the sheeth on the wrong side. "Crossdraw" , try it on your left hip.
How is the diamond texture on your hands processing stuff
Very nice but your in the price range of some really sick knifes but very sturdy looking design.
You got your knife on backwards. The bottom of the knife is supposed to poke out the front not towards the back.
Sure wish he'd start making folders again....
Is your store front open?
Everything is SOLD OUT on the website

I found to foreign shop that have carbon steel for 20 or 30 $US , my fixed blade choices
Good luck getting that blade sharp, with those ridges making that edge quite thick.

I like the knife, I don't like the sheath.
Nice blade lousy sheath.
Nice knife until you said magna cut steel that will make it 300+ for just the steel..
not even close to the best fixed blade ever made nice though
No i have the best blade ever 😂😂😂
looks like a skinny person sheath
Definitely not the best fixed blade ever made. There is nothing that stands out to give it that title.
It’s nice , but not the best ever made.
Test it against Demko Freerign in magna cut or 3V.
Then say that!
Come on its in the top 20,
That’s nothing compared to a kbar
