Personally I’m not a fan of AEB-L for EDC carry. I use my EDC knives quite well and AEB-L just doesn’t have the edge retention I need. I agree with the other comments that $330 USD is outrageous especially looking at the steel and handle configuration. The most expensive EDC I make at base configuration is $285 and that includes as premium CPM steel.
@@TheScrawnyLumberjack yeah it’s definitely steep I told them they should try to come down so we will see. I’ll definitely go check out your stuff. Do you have a website
That steel choice is rough for that price. I get it, yes you get a high quality sheath and so on but eh….. that being said I respect your reviews brother. God bless you and your family.
Jumping is so easy to do, if a person REALLY wants/needs it, put it exactly where YOU want it. On a knife as small as this, I would like some minimal jimping, I’d rather add it myself than to have it where I don’t really want it. Very nice knife and sheath overall.
I rarely buy a knife without jimping. I wonder if there are many who wouldn't buy a knife because it has jimping? That would be the reason I could understand a company not adding jimping. Otherwise, not adding jimping makes no sense to me.
@@evansmoak7182 now when it comes to my folders I’m not big on jimping but my fixed blades I need it. I talked with them after the review and they said they would try to incorporate it in the future runs
I purchase knives regularly and I often pass up knives with jimping. I find that is usually uncomfortable in use and I have never missed it. Different people want different things.
Torn between this and a winkler SD2. I main a bradford guardian 3 with the non-3D scales, and I love it. But I have the same issues with it as you do (the lack of any guard by the choil)
Very nice blade & sheath, that cheap lanyard is the only let-down, looks like an afterthought on a $300 blade which is a steep price for these materials and size anyway.
Price for the steel, I don’t care about how high end they pretend to be, too much money.and I’m happy to spend a wad of cash. Pretend the steel isn’t just a disposable razor steel and you’ve lost me.
