$650 Knife Fails The Cut Test? - Koenig Mini Arius Unboxing (I Still Love It)
Рет қаралды 3,863
Күн бұрынThis is definitely a one off experience. Koenig does a fantastic job start to finish with these knives. This one just slipped thru the cracks. I did sharpen it, and it took a terrifying edge, and the heat treat on this 20cv is top notch.

So well heat treated that they weren't even able to sharpen it using their usual process, that says something! (better see the positive side of things🤣)

My mini came from factory with a less than fantastic edge as well, but the strop got it up and running. Not the best for the price by any means, but the knife overall is phenomenal. A truly EDCable Arius having experienced a couple full size. Keep up the content Kole, you're one of a kind!

@oliverwoehrmann5992 9 ай бұрын
That look of fear about Kara being mad about the dull edge says it all. Blink twice if you need help. On a side note, my full Arius had one the sharpest factory edges of all my knives.
@m.houston6643 9 ай бұрын
This happened with my new Hinderer. I can press down on if with my finger lol. Love the knife but at 300+ I think knives should be screamin sharp out of the box..

Just bought an Arius birthdate 10/16/23 last night on Ebay. Got it brandnew for $720 and pretty happy with that price. Can't wait for it to get here. The mini looks cool but I'm not a mini knife guy.
