  • Knife of The Year 2023: Golden Designworks Caliber Review. This is the second design from Golden Designworks and once again I love it. This time not only did they bring us a good looking design but they also added some innovation as well. In this video we discuss the good, the bad and also do some real world testing to see how it performs. What are your thoughts on this design and how they executed it?

    Thanks for the review, Stassa! Glad you could put it through its paces cutting some different things. Always appreciate your feedback.
    The bte thickness will be the same on the production version. The grind is not being changed at all. 20 thou is just the measurement I came up with and wrote down on the spec sheet, and I tend to go up a little higher just to be conservative on the thinness.
    Thanks again for checking it out!

    I LOVE the idea of a button/frame lock. All the strength/detent/action of a frame lock with the touch of a button. Brilliant.

    Just received mine yesterday after another painstakingly long pre order wait
    That being said I’m loving the knife. I also bought the standard like a year ago and it makes one of the best edc’s
    Only thing I regret is getting the blue fluted instead of the blue golf ball like on my standard. I was worried about cleaning all the little divots on the golf ball style, but I’ve never had an issue with it on my standard

    If you've waited to pull the trigger you're SOL they're all sold out although his site states more "might" be available "later". I wish my Standards had that fusion lock that's brilliant.
    Awesome review here, simply top shelf covered everything. I would have ordered if the Caliber had a little belly to the blade, for me that held me back.

  • @Phiz787

    I think I'd like the Diamond pattern more. Titanium can get pretty slippery and I think this would be really good for grip. I haven't seen much of this pattern. Maybe the Grimsmo but its quite a shallow texture and doesn't add much grip.

  • @jamesbarisitz4794

    After you've received yours, put it in a tumbler after an eight hundred grit hand rubbed finish. What's better than the combination of features here? Not sure...

  • @Cry42

    Definitely going to be grabbing one. Leaning towards the fluted smoke version currently, but might be swayed by the limited edition.

    • @goldendesignworks
      @goldendesignworks 9 месяцев назад

      All good choices! The grey dlc wears great and does have a sort of feel like stassa was saying. We’ll have to see how the LTD looks 😉

    • @Cry42
      @Cry42 9 месяцев назад

      ⁠@@goldendesignworkswould love to see a different blade finish on the LTD. Love to 2-tone, but maybe something like a polished stonewash on the bevels instead?

  • @DHawaii
    @DHawaii 9 месяцев назад

    That lock is awesome! The other benefit is that it has good acoustics. Most button locks don’t have good acoustics. For me it’s just so much more satisfying to hear that frame or liner lock in.

    • @goldendesignworks
      @goldendesignworks 9 месяцев назад +1

      Exactly! Acoustics and feel. That was the idea behind it. All button locks to me were kinda meh. I like the heft feel and sound of a frame lock, and a big blade just makes it that much better.

  • @JIZQU

    Site says they're all sold out. Was on the fence anyway because of clearance, and the bte thickness, and that it will thicken up too quickly. Also looking for a maxed out HRC. I've been looking for a magnacut knife that's perfect for me, so i guess the search will continue...
