mine was Dull Edge

Bit of a mouthfull for a nickname. Sounds like you weren't though. Gotta love irony.

Ay yo I'm reviewin knives ova heah!

Thanks for the heads-up.

A $20 clip for a $35 knife... *WORTH IT!!*

@@wumboqwark 100% worth it, for a few reasons: $20 is on the low end for a titanium pocket clip, it turned a $35 knife I hated in to a $55 knife I love and use all the time, CJRB only offered the knife with a stock Ti clip for a brief period and it was $65 bucks so I’m still ahead, and (most importantly) people can spend their own money on whatever they want.

We try to be good jackasses here.

did u cut urself

Hahaha

I came here in search of the really honest reviews - glad I found you here buddy. I have heard nothing but awful things about lock rock issues , detent wobble and even side to side play that won’t cease even when you strangle the pivot and keep it so tight it won’t open. I have heard repeatedly that there are problems with the feldspar in particular , and the cjrb ria (the only two that I’m interested in tbh) and they both tend to have some serious issues that weren’t apparent in the beginning , and then started to reveal themselves as time went on. Did you have any lock rock issues with the blade being able to rock while locked ??? And I heard that people who had two of the same exact model, would have some with really early lockup, and some that are more than 75 percent lockup which concerns me that they have such a wide variety of lock geometry. But the reviews from Eugene Kwon are raving (but he didn’t receive the knife for free after gushing to them about how he liked the knife a lot - he may have had some bias there and I don’t blame him !) but I want the honest review because , every major reviewer is completely ignoring the issues we hear about and no one has touched on it, or has been willing to mention the QC issues here. I love the design, but now I’m worried about buying an archaeo or anything else before I get the real scoop - I don’t sell my knives and I wouldn’t want to sell one that has issues , and I’m not sure that they would let me return a used knife after it has issues. I want the real deal here - not the “oh my God how incredible this is !!” Reviews I’ve been seeing here. I wish reviewers didn’t get any knives for free , and I’m glad they disclose it, but that’s a really big “brown nose job “ from the co if you ask me. If I was giving special deals to the people who review my business, I would arrested. It’s illegal for me to act like that in team estate, but for knife sales it’s everywhere end kinda yuck to me. I come to reviews now, for the comments and the proper I trust. IE you buddy-/ you should start a channel.

nemo noone I’ve called and emailed them twice in 3 weeks and haven’t heard back at all. Pretty unfortunate. I had high hopes for this knife

You may be able to overcome the threadlock by applying heat to it.

Definitely, I ordered mine from prime yesterday and it'll be here today. This review is what convinced me, lol. For some reason I trust Nick's opinion, lol

Honestly I don’t think hand size plays a major part in wether you like smaller or bigger knives.

That's a liner lock; but as a fellow lefty I don't have a problem with either.

James Rodgers You can close both liner locks and frame locks with only your left hand while holding the knife with your left hand? I can’t do either.

Very much knifes, so good are.

I get the feeling his knives are mostly used for food. And extraneous cardboard cutting to get an impression of cutting performance.

The clips on my Wave A+(modded w/video), and my Griptilian are leftie flipped. Now the ergos are not a gymsock full of wasps.

As a lefty, I often find that knives with right-hand-only clips are quite comfortable, and sometimes find it hard to decide whether to flip the clip on an ambidextrous one.

How’d your first try with the KME go? Did the Feldspar survive?

Lo Pan in the house!

I own the Feldspar but I would pick the Elementum over it any day.

hi richard, my name is kevin. it is 4: 30 pm on mon. dec. 21 here in new york. i just ordered the large feldspar in jade from knifecenter.com. it was not in stock but should ship in 7 to 10 days. i dont know if you cant get it because of u.k. laws but i will get you one and ship it to you if you want / if i legally can. tomorrow i will go to my local post office and ask some questions. the knife only cost me 42 u.s. dollars, shipping included. send me an email if you want. catman707a@gmail.com if we can do it and shipping is not to much i will be happy to help. you can send me a personal check after you receive the knife.

@@kevinwalsh9483 that sounds great! I think US companies no longer ship to the UK because our tax rules have changed making it no longer profitable to do so. But if you can purchase and send me two of the jade small versions I’d really appreciate it and transfer you the funds? Many thanks. Richard

This video may be older. The Nick has a back log.

*Laminated

Maybe he lost the old one.

I was thinking the same thing.

Never seen a Ganzo?

Kinda true tho

I've thought that since they first came out. Glad it's not just me 👍

Both are drop points so they will always have that commonality but TRM (everything but the fixed blade and nerd follow the same basic pattern and even then it's close) drops their spine faster and raises the cutting edge slower compared to the Fieldspar. TRM also uses a more pronounced curve on the spine of the handle giving it more of a banana like shape whereas the Fieldspar has a very Griptilian handle to me. Granted this is all done by holding my Neutron and mini-grip up to the monitor and comparing side by side so yeah I might be nitpicking it a touch.

The CJRB scales are contoured...TRM's Neutron and Atom totally flat. Among other major differences, like blade material, blade thickness, overall thickness, phosphor/bronze vs. bearings, weight, cost...etc..... ...but for $35, whose complaining. 😬

It didn't occur to me until I read that. Now I can't see anything else.

The logo is crap and looks like a kids sneaker company imho. Them and Kansept look so utterly cheap imho. They need some better logo designs imho. Blocky Cap letters with no style to speak of. Just yuck when it’s pasted on a blade. I hate bill boarding. Advertise on someone else’s knife please. Sheesh. Next we will have Best Buy logos and Safeway icons too at this rate. I thought we moved always from Billboards on knives.

He has a disassembly video…and yes, it is.

@@scotteger6271 Thank you.

... no.

Thick blades definitely have advantages but can be a disadvantage if the edge is thick or the grind isn’t done right…a knife is supposed to cut things. A great example of this is the Cold Steel/Andrew Demko AD10, thick blade but great grind and thin edge, slices great.
