FSD Showdown! Brown Knives FSD Mini and Mini-I. Are you team linerlock or Brown Lock? 

Best intro music ever Melds perfectly with knife asthetics

Edit to the opening text: it’s the FSD Mini “I” not “L”

Totally agree with U both those knives are great first edition seems to have better feel but I can definitely see how others might choose the second

I’ve wanted an FSD-I for a while. There’s just something about a frictionless, drop shut liner or frame lock action. My mcnees on skiffs is scary frictionless as well and it’s just so satisfying to fidget with. The look of milling pattern 1 has always been a favorite of mine. It’s so clean. A friend has one for sale for $800 that I might jump on.

Great production thanks for sharing

Hope your doing ok Jim thanks for video

Derrick is the man. Thanks for the video Jim.

Definitely a both fan remarkable knives!!!!

Oh heck yeah Jim getting dwn with some of that OG music!!!!

Thanks for this very useful comparison! While I like the deployment options and the fidgety nature of the Brown Lock version more, particularly with a high-end knife, there is just something intoxicating about an extremely smooth fall-shut frame/liner lock knife. As a righty, I just can’t get over the likelihood of accidentally releasing the Brown Lock during use. The main thing that I don’t like about the FSD-I is the looks of the front flipper nub. All-in-all, I much prefer the inset/liner lock version.

Ha, classic Derrick. And yeah agreed, both are fantastic, I’m a “both” vote.

Pattern #5 with the Brown Lock is the winning combo.

this is one of my grails

If the brown lock is a button on the backside can we call it the brown hole?

Am I the only one that sees the blade HQ logo in the pivot?

Is there lock rock on the i?
