Metal Complex discussing Opinel knives: "I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress.."
@grepora 26 күн бұрын
He is a bloviating blowhard (that's why it's best to start his videos at the 70 second mark) who thinks that anyone over 50 is mentally incapable to know how to operate modern folding knife locks. I knife (and lock) should be judged for design, utility, effectiveness, and value. Only a fool with more money than sense buys a Sebenza or XM-18 to cut cardboard when RAT-2, KaBar Dozier, or Honey Badger with D2 is good enough -- even a folding box cutter (imagine that) would work. I think the Opinel Virobloc is legendary. Not because it is strong, but because it is simple, effective, and has been available for over 70 years -- longer than most, if not all, of the other knife blade locks. It can even be operated one handed if necessary.

@andyhayward1261 29 күн бұрын
I love a well done liner lock, and I’m left handed so I consider them 90% ambidextrous. I usually use my left index finger to push the lockbar over and let it drop to my nail then move my finger out and shake it down just as a righty would do with their thumb. So as long as there’s good enough lockbar access for me to do that then I absolutely love right handed liner locks as a lefty - oh and I need a reversible clip but yeah I would probably rate liner lock as legend. There’s nothing better than the feeling of deploying a liner lock with a perfect detent and then having it super smoothly shake or drop shut Also love bolster locks for the same reasons as above, frame locks can be cool too but on a case by case basis since the exposed lockbar can cause issues as a lefty and they very rarely have reversible clips. The one frame lock I have currently is the kizer Varatas which works perfectly left handed. Compression locks are also great for me left handed as long as the clip is reversible so I have something to hold on to and even better with a CME button type thing which makes it feel essentially like a lefty button compression lock

@@metal_complex The same force that keeps the blade from opening if you accidentally leave your finger on the lock bar while flipping, would be working in reverse when the blade is open keeping the lock from failing, wouldn't it? I do understand the lock face wear issue though. It has never happened to any of my frame locks however. It is maybe because most of my frame locks are at the pricier side and so I don't tend to use them to the extent where I'll start to notice something like that. Lol.

Axis lock is WAY too high. Any lock that is super unreliable and can’t be trusted is terrible to me. Any knife that makes me wonder if I need a second knife because the lock has a chance to fail every time it is actuated is horrible. Liner lock over frame lock seems off to me. Very similar but liner locks tend to be weaker and less reliable.

No ring-pull lock? No picklock? No lever-lock? Ring-pull is seen on the traditional South African Okapi knives and the Cold Steel Kudu (clone) versions of the Okapi. The ring-pull is also standard on traditional Sicilian style fighting knives and Sicilian style switchblades, both vintage and new production from companies like AGA Campolin, et al. The picklock is standard on 99% of Italian switchblade stilettos, whether vintage or new. Some are the classic "thumbnail breaker" style on the old vintage switchblades, but virtually all the newer picklocks (say 1970s to present day) are actuated by the bolster: Same lock design, just uses swinging bolster like a lever to force the lock open instead of having to pull it with your fingernails. If you've used _any_ Italian stiletto switchblade made in the last 40+ years, then you've used a picklock. The lever-lock is another switchblade type; most associated with the classic Hubertus-Soligen "Springer" automatics. Also on Bill DeShivs famous "Leverletto" series. AGA Campolin and Mikov also use a modernized, improved reverse-lever lock on their Zero and Predator knives, respectively. I own a couple Zeros and they are absolutely _rock solid._ Zero blade play and extremely strong (a thick steel crossbar connected to the lever goes through a hole in the blade, and slots into the opposite side of the frame. It's held in by a strong spring. Short of literally shearing the crossbar in half, it can't fail).

I have a theory about omega lock failure - either it happens right away because of a material or manufacturing fault (you got a lemon, which sucks) OR they last for years and if they fail it’s because the locking mechanism ran dry or got dirty. On the failed bar-lock knives I’ve taken apart that didn’t break shortly after purchase - all of them had dirty mechanisms and it looked like the spring was rubbing against the inside of the scale far more than would be expected. So basically - keep your shit clean and lubricated; you will be fine.

You're asking why I don't have an obscure custom otf included in this list? Because if I include the Shrike, I'd have to include hundreds of others that have their own slight variation of common locking systems. I mean literally hundreds. His zero blade play system is definitely cool, but the info benefits essentially no one.

I would have loved if you had "just happened" to leave the Triad lock off the list completely. /evil

Hey It's the first time I've seen your face. I don't know why I imagined you exactly like that based on your voice 😂

I get it, it's your opinion.................but.........your're ranking knife locks on visual appeal and fidget factor over how well it locks a blade? No issue with the opinion or content, just think you could've put more thought in the title, I thought you were gonna rank blade locks on their ability to lock a blade.

Nope. Total misunderstanding of the system and potentially a lack of understanding when it comes to how often I use knives in general. It's a combination of elements based on actual experience with these locks. It has absolutely nothing to do with looks. Don't skip the intro

I am going to go cry into my blouse under my wizard cape because the triad lock didn't rank in a class of its own above legend!!! Lol.

Spyderco ball bearing lock is the Most Superior locking mechanism!!! Better than "jam lock"........

Every time you go off about how much you hate Opinel, I always think "bUt iT'S aN InTegRaL THo?!" I get it, a titanium integral is *way* different territory than just cutting a slot into a wooden handle. But it makes me laugh that your least favorite knife is technically an integral, which you're usually a big fan of lol.
