Love my Evo 3.0! Ordered the Padre earlier today, can't wait. Love that it's affordable. The Evo is a grail for me, so I don't carry it often. Think the Padre will be a user! I have a Kunwu in Vanex, the Tao S. Very nice steel with good heat treat. Thanks for showing it!

Great video Marco! I have a few Kunwu knives. I’ve had my eye on the Padre as well but I recently attained a long time Grail so I’ll have to wait. Lol

I heard rumblings about you obtaining a grail. Heard it from a fairly reliable source

Both made in China, the Padre outperforms the Evo. Especially for the price.

I agree that the value is with the Padre for sure. Although both are made in China I do believe the Evo has better fit and finish and action.

Recently got a Left Handed Padre extremely pleased with it very high quality knife for the money. Kunwu does an excellent job on their heat treats for the money destroys my Evo 2

I think the Evo is a superior knife, but bang-for-buck goes to the Padre for sure

I freaking love how this one looks but I had an opportunity to get the Ram lock stitch and chose it. I’m hoping this one sticks around so I can get it later

Love the Stitch but I think the Ramlock needs some work. I tried it on the MSI. But the Padre is very much worth chasing

Got the Padre and was immediatly bitten by it trying to drop just it on my thumbnail LMAO. So def too much of a large blade with a belly for me to do that but amazing knive with an awesome look

It is such a cool knife and decent price to boot!

@perraultd 10 ай бұрын

Slightly better action vs better performing steel. And it’s half the price? Why would I even bother with the Evo?

@KnivesoftheRoundTable 10 ай бұрын

Not even sure the steel is better. Vanax is a great steel. I do believe the Evo is better, just not 350 dollars better.

If we’re comparing Vanax to M390/20CV/204P, than yes, it IS a superior steel. In 3 of the 4 main knife properties! Vanax has better toughness, better corrosion resistance, and it’s easier to sharpen. The M390/20CV/204P group of steels have superior edge retention. However, Vanax is no slouch in that category as well, having similar edge retention to S35VN/S45VN. Vanax is extremely hard to come by and expensive, which is the main reason why EVERYONE is praising Kunwu! The fact that Kunwu has managed to achieve a proper heat treat (Vanax is tricky to HT), produce great build quality, and maintain a more affordable product is astounding. Personally, I think Vanax should replace M390/20CV/204P or become more popular among premium knives. Regardless, I still LOVE the EVO models from CKF/Rotten Designs. Hopefully I can own one in the near future!
