I Saw this Knife Today and Had to have it! Overall it's pretty good, but they could make ONE important improvement.
I tried out some "glamour" shots of the knife with the music just to see if it was a good idea. Ha. Hope it's not too annoying for anybody.
Thanks for Watching!

D2 steel( if heat treated correctly ) is a very good steel and great for this application. Resharpening not needed, well at least on mine, it’s very sharp out the box and all I did was is give it a few passes on my strop and it’s razor sharp. I use my pocket knife daily cutting endlessly boxes, tape , straps and plastic, so let’s see how long this edge lasts

Cutlerylover last night and ran out to Harbor Freight and grabbed one. I'm likin' it. Cutlerylover said they are really a Todd Begg design made by a manufacturer in China that's re-selling with a different pocket clip that sells for around $76. So this is a savings of nearly 50%.

I didn’t know that! Definitely makes it a bargain then, and it IS a really great knife for $40!

Just picked this knife up today. It seems really nice. Very nice build quality and finish. Time will tell how well the blade holds up, but for $39, seems like a good value.

Hey man, I’m new to the channel and thinking of subbing. 5:01 you can always tell if a knife is made exclusively for rightys when the clip is on the right side and not reversible. I really dig this knife man. I’ve bought a couple so far. I know it’s a “clone”, but it’s a damn good one.

I’ve been carrying that knife for many months now and use it ALL the time. It’s a fantastic knife for the price. Good catch on the non reversible clip, I hadn’t thought of that part. Now that stock is back up at harbor freight I constantly think about getting a second one!

If you use a liner lock or frame lock left handed... just reach around with your index or middle finger to release the lock. It's pretty easy.
@edwardkeeter762
@edwardkeeter762 4 ай бұрын
We have to agree to disagree...I'm a lefty and I find the frame lock super easy to use when closing the knife with my left hand. In fact, that was one of the first things I noticed about it. However, I agree with you that it comes really sharp right out of the box. I think that this thing is a steal at $40.

It's a rip off from Todd Begg's creation but still a great knife. and the Price, well, pretty good for the aesthetics and ceramic bearings to the knife having no play at all. You get more than you paid for!

⁠​⁠@@sheltermonkey6065They’re both made in china. The handles on both are made out of G10. The blades on both are made out of D2 steel. They both have pivot bearings. They both have a drop point blade. And they both have a liner lock and flipper tab. They’re identical knives that are made in the same country. Chances are they’re made in the same factory.

The clip is NOT deep carry. It leaves a solid inch of pointy handle sticking out. Also prone to breaking. Curved "half moon" shape puts the blade in a weird nose down location.
