I’m sold. For a knife I hope I never have to drive into an attacker’s carotid or femoral arteries it will do just fine. We all know automatics were never meant for hammering through wood or function like a Ka-Bar anyway.

Oh yeaa absolutely! It was never meant to baton wood

@southernlonghorn4507 Жыл бұрын

Great to know they can take such abuse…makes me confident it will do 100% of what I expect it to do including NOT hurt my wallet. Mine has been completely reliable for quite a few years and best OTF bang for buck out there.

I really did question what I was seeing when these were being introduced, of course the video I was seeing were always those shorts where they buy those stupid gas station knives. To seeing how well this one works and held up actually gave me a little confidence and I think about getting one now.

I have had mine for years and carry it daily. It's perfect when you are working and have something in your other hand easy to open easy to close and put in my pocket. I have never had a failure with my original lightning knife however I would use my kabar or one of my other fixed blades if I needed to baton it. Good review of a great cheap knife.

To be fair, when batoning a hard piece of wood, it's probably better to invert the wood. Set the blade tip against a hard surface, and bash the wood. It might have made a difference here, as the wood is receiving the majority of the impact not the blade (which then transfers that kinetic energy to the knife housing).

Absolute legend of a knife, honestly. Lightnings survive things that they really shouldn't All the time Wife's been carrying one for about two years now and the thing is kind of a slumdog millionaire Hoping they make a single action someday

Maxace did a similar vid w their new budget otf. That thing takes a beating and still fires. Good edge retention I was impressed. I'm surprised at how well that thing cuts through cardboard.

I really like the blade and handle comparison. Seems like usually big handle and a little blade pops out lol that’s seriously was pretty impressive cutting that rope bro! I can’t believe you broke it ugh. It was doing great for 30 bucks

awesome test. I have four of the lightning elite they are my EDC I knew they were only as tough as the cast aluminum handle which is tough enough for me. I keep mine absolutely razor sharp. I sold my microtechs, because they misfired constantly. but my lightnings never do, and if I lose one I certainly won't cry!!!

Right on! Yeah if you don’t baton or get crazy with them, they are totally fine for EDC!

@southernlonghorn4507 Жыл бұрын

@@CaptDavesSportfishing Yep, but just recently as of 7/1/23. Thank goodness for HB 453 because before in Florida it was only legal to carry “A type of knife occurring frequently in the community which has a blade that folds into the handle and that can be carried in one’s pocket.” which meant I always had to change knife types when traveling across the state line to Florida from Georgia. I am so happy that FL has become a “free” state now. 👍
