Hi... my name is Kenny, and I am a normal dude with a lot of hobbies. I’m here to give you an earnest review of various products from my perspective. I am by no means an expert of any sort, and these reviews are just anecdotal findings I have from regular use. I have a very pragmatic and critical way of looking at things, and I look to give the viewer a different perspective of products that they may be interested in. The same way other you tubers have helped me to put eyes and hands on something that I can’t see or feel myself.
I will generally focus on knives and tools for everyday uses.
Where in California only allows 3in blades? The states allows up to 4in blades to be concealed. I’m unaware of any cites or counties that restrict concealed blades to a length less than 4in.
Its no diff then the gun hobby and thats why I have a metric ton of both…. Its a addiction and Ive handed over copious amounts of cash over the last decade its unreal hahaha but get this….. Im NEVER going to stop Im so passionate and love the knife community so much my sign when Im homeless will read “Will work for knives and pew pews” 😂😂
My favorite knife my Benchmade Presidio 2 is an ounce heavier than my Microtech which surprised the crap out of me being that the blade on the Microtech is so much thicker. As for now the Microtech pushed my Presidio out of my pocket.
Do you prefer the Freek or mini Freek? Do four fingers comfortably fit on the mini? Does the full size grip feel too big and take up too much room in the pocket? Thank you.
If you're that concerned about what other people think you've got 2 options start hanging with like minded people or be yourself & tell them to mind their own business!...if somebody has a problem with me that's their problem not mine! I show everybody respect till they give me reason not to...then I don't! Period! 👍
I wish Spyderco would use more wire clips like they have on the lightweight models. The Para 3 LW doesn't need a clip swap thanks to that default deep carry wire clip. They do some strange things with it on the Manix though, where it's a wire clip but not deep carry, more in line with the overall shape of their standard clips.
All of my S35vn chips. My D2 and 154cm are my favorite steels, but I'm going to buy a couple of these spyderco knives- endura k390 and endela pd1. Thanks for the video!
Just one correction, it's not a carbon copy of the Para 3, it is only in terms of size. The liners are different enough to make scales not interchangeable. The blades might work across models.
I bought my first Cold Steel knife 10 years ago , a Voyager XL Tanto. I still have it, and now I have around 25-30 more Cold Steel folding blades including the Recon 1 in all 3 blade styles. I love each one, I rotate them in and out of carry. They are not perfect knives, but they’re perfect for me and that’s why I prefer them over any other brand on the market.
I went to a store to test this knife and surprisingly loved the size. I don’t have particularly big hands, I‘d say they are medium normal hands. The knife was like glued to the hand and the fingers perfectly fell into all the right places. I thought „this is how a knife should feel“ and it didn’t feel too big, its more like all other knifes were too small (at least for my taste). It felt really great. I had a problem though, that I couldn’t open it only with my thumb without wielding it and I also couldn’t close it with one hand. maybe my fingers are too weak or it was too new and hard to unlock, but it was almost impossible so that was a nogo unfortunately. Also, I heard that the owner of cold steel sold the company and that the quality dropped a lot on the new knifes. Don’t know what it’s about in detail but doesn’t sound good.
That's not a bad lookin knife at all. It reminds me of some comic book character back in the day called Maxx lol. If anyone doesnt doesn't know what in talking about, Google Maxx and go to images. You'll get it lol. Nice knife though. I dig the button lock on it. Wish they had more button locks with Spyderco. A PM 2 with a button lock would be nice.
In my front pocket eceryday in chinada. With a snaggle tooth qucik open attachment if i lived in a free state i would cary a pistol everyday. Too bad i live in chada
All the hardware is custom made specifically for Chris reeve. you can take the pivot from the zaan and unscrew it till there is only 1 thread and the pivot will not come out. it’s as secure there then it is if it was all way in.
Mils and MM are two differnt units. 1 Millimetres = 39.3701 Mils: 10 Millimetres = 393.7 Mils: 2500 Millimetres = 98425.2 . You can't say Mils when you are meaning Millimetres.
endless delays and numerous follow-ups, the ultra long wait built up so much anticipation... when it finally showed up it looked so bad, looks like product of some special ed machine class project LMFAOOOOO, it's a professional trolling job from the dude who made it.
"it'll still cut you" lmao I've cut people with my army issue mess kit spoon. Not the plastic spoon from the MRE although that would probably work too. It's all about how much effort you are willing to use.
Got mine delivered to the house for i think $ 105.00. BEST hundred dollar knife you can buy in my opinion. And you never have to worry about your fingers. In my pocket all day everyday. Thanks for the video.
no offense but you're not actually testing anything (you know that right?) other than adding to the bulk of evidence that "knife bro" is a legit mental illness. nothing you did was a test of anything, other than the patience of 38 thousand folks. I dare you to show us the average watch time for the video. I'm going to guess it's about 2 minutes. Also every single one of these steels has been extensively tested, actually tested, in a lab. In a variable controlled, precise, lab environment, that's called empirical evidence, and all of that data is available to anyone. idk what you think you're accomplishing but it's really quite silly. If you think I'm being "mean" then you are used to real talk because this is real talk. You didn't test anything. This video could be 10 minutes long, if you had any respect for the viewer. I'd bet my life not a single human watched the entire video. You wanna mess around with knives and film yourself, have at it. Have some self respect and don't try to call it a "test."
I like Spyderco just fine, but for the money I think Cold Steel offers a better deal in the pricepoint in each knife. For collectors like me, I love my bright green-handled Spyderco Endura and a few others, but if I were going out to just get a knife for everyday carry (EDC), I'd go with Cold Steel every time. Strength: CS Blade: CS Safety: CS Edge Retention: CS Edge: CS/Serrated or Plain Ergonomics: CS Ease of Sharpening: CS/AUS10A Price: Mixed Views Of all knives, Cold Steel has, I think, the best combinations of blade length, steel, strength, edge and safety. When talking price, I'd also choose Cold Steel, but with the caveat of shopping. Some CS knives are horrendously overpriced, with others being great deals. AUS8A/AUS10A blades are the steels I'd choose. I love edge retention, but I _hate_ sharpening blades; and if I'm not cutting wood, I prefer the CS serrated edge. Years ago, I bought a CS Vaquero/5-inch serrated blade. I didn't know much about knives back then and I just wanted a Cold Steel, but I could see even then that the scallops were a bit rounded and the teeth were worn. But the nylon sheath was practically new. Now, I've used that knife a lot since then, since about 2006, and the blade edge has been worn significantly, but if I close my eyes and just run my finger along that edge, it still cuts through anything but wood. The serrations last forever. I did get a Marauder w/serrations, recently, and the patterns were terrible. This most likely was on purpose to keep users from grinding the teeth off, but I returned it to Amazon. The seller sent me a replacement (though I'd asked for a refund). Happily it had a much better serrated edge. Cold Steel is UNM (under new management), so we knife users have to keep them honest, so don't accept shoddy workmanship!
