    A thing of beauty. Best blade I’ve ever seen on an OTF. The brushed aluminum and blues Ti is a perfect accent to it. I’ve never seen one of these particular ones for sale...I now know why.

    @jerryjones2383 6 лет назад

    Wow, what a great review Jim. After I saw this, I was lucky enough to get this knife with the mirrored blade with antique green hardware from PVK, which had just added it to their new knife section barely a day before my purchase . They only had two and after I got mine, their second was was gone in just hours after my purchase. Demand is heavy as you stated. This is my favorite edc thus far I have added to my collection. It is even more stunning in person than you can see in this great review.

  • @seventhSabra
    @seventhSabra 8 лет назад +1

    I LOVE that Combat Troodon! I love the satin Al finish, but I think the only thing that could be improved would be shredded CF body.
    I have6 of the Combat Troodons in their matte camo finishes. 2x Desert (drop point and dagger - one fully plain edge/one fully serrated). 2x Jungle (drop point and tanto). 2x urban camo (tanto and plain edge dagger)... all in Elmax.
    Fun fact: Durring my 12 ears in Special Operations most of us would have a Combat Troodon in our off-hand main pocket, or somewhere on our non-dominant side in the PALS webbing. To keep out dust, blood, sticky stuff, salt water, etc out of the inner machinations, we would use some non-lubed condoms over the knife and under the clip. It adds tons of traction, easier to launch the blade with gloves or sweaty hands, and after you deploy it through the condom which keeps a seal around the blade. Even after retracting the blade, the condom will prevent any harmful ingress of debris.
    That blade is insane, I don't really like mirror or fine glossy finish, I prefer matte color palates, but this is an exception.

    My dear friend that’s not a knife it’s a work of art that is something that you come home to after a hard days work poor yourself a strong one break it out. Fondle it and groove on it, pop it a few times and by the time you get to do your third drink you might as well put that away before you take a finger off. It is Truly beautiful I would watch it like a hawk and then go to DH gate and buy yourself a clone so that you can carry that around instead and not worry, and they are a fraction of the price. Enjoy that Fine Blade Bro!!!!,!

    I believe a buddy of mine had a knife made from a maker in TX that had a swedge on it, and the maker said he could not sharpen it because it was not legal in TX. I think the knife laws there can be vague, sadly

  • @jjssousa81
    @jjssousa81 8 лет назад

    These aren't much of a danger even if it were to open into you. I'm guessing these are similar to a benchmade otf. They are on a track and it they hit something it comes off the track so it doesn't damage the internals. All you need is a flick of the wrist or pull the blade and it will lock back onto the track.

  • @ScottieG59
    @ScottieG59 8 лет назад

    I have not verified it with the various states, but I thought double-action knives were not considered automatics. At the closed state, the Troodon spring is not under tension. The Halo V would be automatic since it has a spring under tension. Perhaps, it will depend on the results of the cases that go to trial. The other issue I have to consider is that I am very near the Missouri state line and it is much more restrictive with knives. They are fine with my guns, but not with some of my knives.

    • @JimSkeltonKnives
      @JimSkeltonKnives  8 лет назад +1

      You've created a strange subcategory in your own mind with that one LOL. No law states anything about a blade being under spring tension, or about being double action or single action. The laws deal with the deployment... spring action with a switch release. Whether the release slides or pushes doesn't even matter. Automatic is classified as a blade that releases by spring action with a switch release.

    Hopefully it is a carbide tip on the glass breaker rather than ceramic as you stated; I'm not sure a 'ceramic ball' would prove very functional under that kind of impact and I can't see a designer making that kind of cosmetic decision, despite the fact that none of us are going to break windows or skulls with it. As always, thanks for the great videos.

      Jim Skelton It is indeed your fault that I bought a top with a ceramic ball bearing. A budget one, but it manages the occasional 10 minute spin. I really look forward to the tops videos, but apparently many knife review consumers find them toxic ;). Thankfully, you do what you want.

      I rode up to Asheville North Carolina one day with my Microtech Ultratech s/e. (production date 03/2015) serial number53494. It was a day to remember. I did not know that Tony was such a well known custom knife guy. For that matter I didn't know much about custom knife makers in general, at the time. He was selling his house way up on top of the hill in a gated community. Pretty good security and all but I had no trouble (in my little Toyota Corolla )at all zipping right underneath the gate behind one of his neighbors that was driving a tall SUV. Long story short I wound up down at One of Microtechs new warehouses and manufacturing facility somewhere in Asheville North Carolina. Only after I spoke with half of The construction crew that was building his new house in the same exclusive mountain neighborhood. In hindsight , The whole adventure could've been misconstrued as a little bit stalker-ish. I was just trying to get a knife sharpened. And a drop of oil for gods sake. Got a brand new glass breaker with the ball bearing to replace the spike that was ripping into my wrist every time I reached into my pocket and a new switch or actuator button ,which ever you want you want to call it.? Dropped it off in person shipped free of charge next day to my home. No charge for any of it. I'm a fan and I do use The one and only out the front that I own every day. Long-winded story. You would've had to been there. Tell Tony hello. Take it easy . PS I subscribed. Later...

    do you actually carry this knife? I live in texas aswell, and I'm thinking about picking one up. Im just worried about the double edge knife laws. and Id rather not deface the edge with sandpaper

      +DreamJuice420 I've only had it a few weeks, but sure... I've carried it probably 5 or 6 times. Check the comments below about the legality, some chimed in with answers.

      I appreciate the quick reply Jim! I absolutely adore this knife, and I REALLY want to carry it, I'm just hugely paranoid about having it confiscated.
