Just seeing this... That's one sleek looking design. Its absolutely beautiful. Tbh I still haven't owned a CKF blade now that I'm thinking about it. I'll have to change that soon.🔥🔥

Omg!!! I friggin love this Knife! Tashi is a killer Designer!

Thank you for the review! Guys, thank you for the support! That means a lot to us.

I've always loved being a fan of 4"+ folders because they generally fly under the radar and rarely sell for over retail on the secondary. This is definitely an exception, and seems to have drawn many more to the market

Thank you! Great video. Helped hold me over until mine arrives in a few days. 😁

very neat design, crazy milling!

This is a `every so often a knife comes along‘ piece. It reeks of magic through and through as well as capturing the heart and head in one go that puts a sparkle in the eyes 👍 the chance of me owning one is slim but that doesn’t mean that I can’t indulge in a bit of `up market window shopping‘. Great video Doc, thanks 😄✌️

I was lucky enough to grab one of these knives #55 and the milling is simply gorgeous as stated by Dr Funkey. Especially the lines & holes of the pocket clip floating above the frame but in perfect harmony to the frame of the knife I have several CKF's and love them all, this is just another gem from CKF. They truly know who to collaborate with for the best of knives.

... and justice for all? No, only for those who managed to snag this awesome piece (lol). It’s okay though, the microtech socom is my 4 inch blade of choice, so my other 4 inch knives tend to get neglected.

Beautiful beast!

Another great review. But, I carry all my folding knives concealed and unfortunately, 3.5" is the State limit. I need to move soon and the free State of WY is only an hour and half away.

CKF has been killing it for the last couple years which they were easier to get

It costs to keep up... ckf is my f an favorite production company.. they may cost a bit but they do the custom makers justice

Want

Just got a chance to get one off of the secondary market for 700. I took it right away. This knofe has been a snow leopard thats ive been trying to catch since they came out. Super excited to get it in the mail soon

I’m more interested in that Micro Transient, is it a front flipper?

The Future was a Reate knife, not CKF, but this one does have similar styling and aesthetic as do many of Tashi's designs. Not saying that as a negative, I love Tashi's work. He tends to design knives in "families," many designs will have very similar design language with subtle differences... definitely defines the blades that bear his name, easy to spot a Tashi

do you go to Jims Firearms?

CKF really outdid themselves with this one. The milling details are insane and it's got that Shirogorov-like action. Can you imagine how much an integral Shiro would cost? Considering that fact, I'd almost say this knife is a bargain.

I will never understand the limited run philosophy, from the collectors standpoint it is great but that being said for those of us that want CKF models for the purpose of a user that is a rather large number of people you are eliminating from ownership of their knives. Also by the time they are tooled up for production it also makes little sense to me anyway to run this small 200 piece quantity. I Just don't get it, in what other industry do you find this ridiculous premeditated false exclusivity. Also when is CKF going to come clean with the fact that Kevin Johns produces their components ?

I really wanted this knife, but it's hard to drop $750 for a CKF. I've heard a lot of people talk about their quality, but I've had two Morrf's and several of their spinners and was disappointed in the quality. The spinners were horribly off balance (I bought several to have enough components to fix this), and the knives were hard to get a good action with no blade play. I want to give them another shot, it's just hard to roll the dice for $750. If this knife is as good as most say, it would probably the perfect knife for me.
