One of the sharpest and most precise tools used daily is a surgical scalpel. Now imagine that bigger, better, and stronger! The Feather X from Microtech and Bastinelli hits all the right notes to be a slim, fast, and deadly karambit inspired design.
Is this for your everyday carry? Your tactical vest? Something to keep on you for self defense? Find out in this exclusive Tactical Tavern review where we see how it stacks up against the Tactical Tavern Test with 25 possible points based on price, functionality/design, dependability, versatility, and carry ability!
You may remember the karambit video we did on the Fox 599 in and Bastinelli Pika Karambit in collaboration with Doug Marcaida from Forged In Fire. I will link them down below so you can better find a self defense knife that is geared toward your every day carry needs.

I carry very small simulator things to this one. I think people underestimate how much damage something small, light, basic like this can easily to to someone in a "SD" situation. I own the "3 spades" and in a grapple with how small they are with the retention rings there not coming out of your hand. And will cause mayor deep cuts. This is the first time I've seen this one and I'm really liking the design 👍🏻

Great vid. I wonder how you came to the conclusion these are made from M390 steel? I'm seeing some retailers saying it is indeed M390 while others say it is D2? Microtech doesn't describe the steel type/s being used on their website or on the blades themselves :/ This is disheartening to say the least. I bought (and have) one now and I paid $217 for it. I bought the last one. Later I found another site that had them available $307 and ordered one from them. I wanted one for each pocket cause that would be cool or just to collect if their going to be limited. However! If these are made from super cheap ingot D2 tool steel not even CPM D2 I'm pretty sure I'll be returning the $307 if not both :/ P.s. My $217 blade says "Feather K" on it.
@tacticaltavern 2 жыл бұрын
Have no fear I asked Bastinelli Himself and he confirmed it is M390 I admit I have been saying it wrong - it is the Feather-K (that makes more sense too) I love the idea of getting 2! 😂👌🏼 I like your style 🔪

@Der-Eifel-Yeti Жыл бұрын
I contacted Microtech yesterday regarding the steel and they answered me the following: „We have run them with D2 before, yes. It depends on what we have on hand at the time. We have been running most things in M390 lately.“ I bought a Feather K and wasn’t sure about the Steel. My S/N is 0614 and built 02/2023. I‘m still not really any smarter. I mean a small Knife like this with D2 Steel for 300 Euro‘s is crazy. But i like this little Bastard!

Honestly all the serration only looks cool and for trick use. Real knife use/fighting serrations are the worst nightmare. They chew up your hand and fingers. Smooth ergonomic "locking" curves are the answer. The old world karambit are all smooth wood scales.
@tacticaltavern Жыл бұрын
Ah gotcha the jimping on the handle! But I suppose serrations also can get caught up in clothing and what not For real world hard use I can see the added grip texture be a downside for comfortable use

Just bought the black DLC version for EDC. Bad-a** looking blade! What I like is that it can be utilized like a karambit for self-defense, but the blade profile lends itself nicely for light EDC work (opening mail, packages, etc). Legally speaking, it'd be easier to pass this off as my mail opener as opposed to an ACTUAL karambit.
