Of course, here in the UK, this is an official ‘Offensive Weapon’ because of that, oh so scary lock! Thank God my government keeps me safe from these horrors! 😉
@@relaxeful they don’t, it’s just that interfering busybodies are looking for instances of it, and the more they look, the more they find. Incidences appear to rise and if you dare to say it’s really not an issue, a grieving mother will be brought out to show you just how callous and insensitive you are. We kill far more people with cars, but if you tried to ban them, you’d really struggle. Classify knives as weapons and you’re half way to a boundary (home run), and you just need a fair wind to carry you through! People in the UK don’t stab each other with 4” bladed lock-knives, stabbings are as common as they are, because kitchen knives and broken bottles are all over the place, easily at hand. They’ve got it all wrong.
I don’t know which country has the worst regulation. In south Korea, it is okay to have lockable folding knife but the edge should be less than 6cm. You can own longer knife if you got the certificate which will cost $200 to import one.
My only issue I seeing is k390 is a little corrosion prone for something that sits in the bottom of your sweaty pockets in the summer... But I guess people dealt with carbon steel for centuries
I have a Spyderco Chaparral which is just perfect for those everyday cutting jobs. It's a bit bigger than the lady bug but not too big. Fits in the small upper pocket of my jeans perfectly so very easy to carry. Same sort of grip as this one, very good quality IMO.
The last few days I've actually been thinking about trying to get a small chunk of 'supersteel' in a knife, just for cutting and craft tasks around the house. The little carbon steel Opinel I have is great, but dulls almost immediately when used against cardboard or leather, so it would be nice to have something I could use and not feel like I have to hone every 5 minutes. What's the thickness behind the edge like on this?
Got one in h1 mostly because of the need to scrape nasty gunk and survive whatever complex cleaning solutions available. It is moderately durable and old fashioned sharpening is a Zen thing.
A good leaf blower is an absolute necessity for everyone's EDC. Great video, I've always wondered about this one, whether it was worth while, or whether I should just get Dragonfly 2?
I carry a zdp manbug in my shirt pocket at work as my non threatening knife, and a victorinox compact, and whatever else as the main attraction I feel like for the day. I had a hap 40 ladybug but she really liked it and I prefer the slight upsweep on the manbug blade.
Pete, you might want to check the steel on the Grasshopper. Spyderco's website lists the steel in the Grasshopper as 12c27 not 8cr13MOV. I checked my Grasshopper, which is several years old, to be sure. It is marked as being 12c27. As for the Ladybug/Manbug... Just my personal opinion, but if I were going to use a Spyderco pocket knife in the Grasshopper/Ladybug/Manbug/Dragonfly size range, I'd rather go with the Dragonfly due to the better ergos. The forward finger choil makes it a lot more comfortable since I can actually get a four finger grip.
Spyderco's coming out with a Dragonfly in K390. They already have a ZDP189 version. Never really considered something smaller than a Dragonfly in the Spyderco line, but it looks just as useful. I don't have a Dragonfly, but I do have the Byrd Robin 2.
jeez, ada really won't try to catch even the tastiest of treats. i wonder if someone was throwing french fries to her one time and did a crafty switcheroo to a slice of lemon. something to break that trust.
How do you find the size compared to a Dragonfly? I tried my mates H1 Salt Series Dragonfly and I found it way too small, plus the spyderhole was a bit sharp compared to his USA made one. Also have you played Persona 5 Royal yet?
CEDRIC have you ever considered doing your rope cut test with serrated blades of different steels? I prefer plain edged knifes as well but I would really love to see te results
Had one for 3 days and sold it. Way too small and handle shape made it very awkward to hold. Maybe good as a keychain knife but personally don’t like key-bulk. Delica size or other brand similar size knifes is just right -for me at least. Great videos and reviews as usual 👍
Please for the love of chop meat STOP assaulting Dog’s with meat headshots! I always enjoy your intros, very entertaining, always makes me smile and laugh, and more so super informative reviews and cool info for us blade addict bi-peds! 🔪😷👍🏼
Hey mate - how do you feel carrying all those keys around? I reckon it'd give me the s**ts. I used to have a key ring loaded up like that, but I finally pulled off everything but my house key, car key and office key - the ones I need all the time. All those other ones that I only need occasionally are now on another keyring that just lives in my nutsac (or whatever edc bag you use). Maybe you need 20 keys everyday, in which case keep going. But I bet you could rationalise that monstrosity into everyday keys and the rest, that you keep near, but not in your pocket. Man, cutting back on my keys makes my pocket edc so much nicer. Anyway, just a thought. You do you!
I got rid of the keyring torch and multitool and all that jazz too. I figured the multitool (a micra) was secondary anyway, and could easily go in my bag. Same with the torch.
Where was Bricky? Maybe this was before his time. I like Bricky. You use Bricky to dull knives; I'd like to see you use Bricky to sharpen a knife. Bricky would be a better sharpener than any of the pull-through sharpeners and probably even some of the pocket sharpeners.
You must always ask yourself who would even care. Nobody would assume you to carry it in ill will with that size. So nobody will call the cops about it. And even if - the knife is legal to own, albeit not to carry. The cops might take it away from you but that's really it. Considering the price, it's not too big a risk.
i think it's just the miniscule size of the knife made him want to shoot from a more downward angle, not sure and frankly don't honestly care either, but i almost posted about it too.
Let's be real here: if you want manly men to really be able to identify with these knives you need to do a size comparison with it underneath a Fleshlight.
4.40am on Friday nerding/mornung f ing auto/me spell chekker. Berd staying up and constantly refreshing YT and her you are wtflip love you bye.

@@zacharyreed7181 The Delica is a plastic backlock with VG10 for $84. That wasn't even a good value last year at $78 before they jacked up the prices again. The only great value I see from them is the Bow River, and even that went from $32 to $38 since it was released last year.
