You didnt see that Ritual in Texas? I talked to the designer a while. Cool dude. He had some crazy customs. No assist ritual is way better! The brown micarta version has assist open. And that warncliff is sweet. We miss you!
True story: I've only ever owned one CRKT, the K.I.S.S., and it was so janky I made it my designated boat knife. Until it fell overboard at Buoy 10... in the Columbia River 😅. The knife was just coming home
Dude, I love your videos. They’re awesome. I fell in love wit CRKT A while ago I’ve had quite a few some I didn’t like as much as others but the ones I’ve gotten lately I’ve been totally awesome I just picked up a redemption and it is the best knife ever. I think it’s just excellent in every way and after seeing these two actually all three of them I’m gonna have to put at least two of them in my collection not sure which to maybe all three but at least two thanks for the video. Have a great day.☘️🇺🇸🤘⚡️⚡️
I live in Oregon, and I always had the bias that this was a low to mid-level knife company. I don't have that bias any more. For the past few years they stepped up as a legitimate knife company, making legitimate quality knives, with innovative designs and features, quality steels, and a high degree of quality control. They've clearly worked hard to get there, and have earned it. It's kind of like the perception was of a Datsun, or early Toyota, when they first entered the US market, compared to the Nissan the Datsun became, and the high quality Toyotas we all perceive now. Toyota's are high quality and objectively awesome. They're not million-dollar cars, but they can be driven by millionaires who would be happy to drive them. Just like the CRKT is not necessarily the very tippy top of the knife world, but they make extremely high-quality knives, with good materials, and a high degree of quality control. If you look for good deals, not based on name alone, this is a company that you can look to now.
CRKT would be great if their quality control wasn't absolute dogshit. They have/buy good designs but the fit and finish are awful on average. Wholly inconsistent.
Any knife company that uses the name of a river or landmass in the US should refrain from false advertising and make their knives in the US. Not just a few overpriced ones.
You're making it hard - waiting on 3 knives on preorder - promised myself no new knives until I get them all - Tempest, EMP, and Winterblade, The Obverse is screaming at me.
It’s cool to see CRKT do some higher end knives but…. If what looks to be like Reate or We made those and Hogue is making some, then they really aren’t CRKTs lol It would be nice to see some true American made CRKTs like Gerber has.
Honestly, it’ll be a cold day in hell before I pay anything over $200 for a crkt. The quality isn’t there. All three knives you reviewed are too damn thick and I’m sure there will be several quality issues later on down the line
Hey CRKT - all 3 are home runs. In a time where 20 of the same vanilla knives come out each month, all 3 of these put a big smile on my face. Next time, send them to one of us.
No but I’m not crazy at all about the three knives you presented @Tristate_EDC get a m40-15 combo with a steal deadbolt at the pivot and serrated nobodies doing that anymore
Been a fan of both channels for a while now; been watching MC for 4 years and Tristate for 2.5 years, and I gotta say that I have never thought of their 2 channels as similar in any way at all. Like they literally have different presentations in every aspect of their unboxings and review videos. MC doesn't have edits, Kole edits subtle touches into his videos, MC doesn't do front camera view of his face, Kole does. I'm just not really getting the clone reference, but hey whatever slaps your salami.
