Again another solid knife! It’s been on my buy list for a little while, but I hesitated because of QA issues I kept hearing from Toor knives. Waiting to see the new, unreleased Acta non verba m311 compact first to see which one I will buy.
My two favorite features on this, which I don't own (yet) knife...1 .the grip. My favorite design for grips was Coleman Western knives, circa 1986 (gen x here) but this comes close. 2. Full tang. I can't believe how many fixed blades don't have one. If I were to write definition for contempt in a dictionary,included example would be: " Sold him a fixed blade knife ,but it wasn't full tang" To even manufacture one without full tang should constitute fraud, with zero exceptions. Sorry. Soapbox. Very nice looking knife ,eying it with envy. So,great video.
Hey got my Darter. Awesome, super happy with it. Quality is pretty good no issues on handle or fit and finish. The blade grind was super weird and had different angles on each side. Had to reprofile it and now sharp as a razor. Fits inside the pocket really nice with ulti clip.
Glad to hear you got one that's awesome! They are great blades. It's not uncommon to have different angles on some of these. In fact almost every knife I've checked has been off.
How do you sharpen? My kitchen knife out the packaging is sharper than my Toor Darter. Suggestions, I already sent it out to them and wasn't sharp. Suggestions. Thank you.
@@fariseom-ue8jd i have several sharpening kits. I used a diamond stone to reprofile both sides of the blades to same angle (20) then finished the sharpening process. I used a worksharp guided sharpening system.
@Fariseo M typically kitchen knives are a lot thinner behind the edge and have much lower bevels than a hard use knife so they will slice better and feel shaper. With that said most kitchen knives will not hold up to the abuse that darter will. I will usually reprofile my fixed blades to 20 degrees per side. Once that's done I simply do touch ups on a spyderco sharpmaker as it has a 20 degree setting. It's the easiest and quickest way in my experience. I use wicked edge sharpeners for reprofiling and edge repair. The system I use is the gen 3 pro. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
I have the root jank shank pikal version… I hate that they put the padding in the sheath. It’ll eventually get hooked by the blade and then obstruct the knife going in. Once in the adhesive gets on the blade. I wish they would leave it out
