Thank you Holt, your polishing job has given us more of Nick's face reveal than we can ever hope for.

"Don't give me special treatment just cause I'm on KZfaq!!!" *receives one of like 4 bolsterlocks made*

Love the Frankie and bird drawing in the reflection!

OK but how well does it cut cardboard on a concrete warehouse floor

That's one sick knife! Creativity at its finest!

When you pulled the foam up ,my jaw went down! Now that a nice knife! Holy cow!

At more than a grand for a knife will he be changing his name to Nick Frunkey?

Beautiful knife, Nick. You and the Holts deserve all the showing off this knife will get.

This is the most handsome, and classy knife you've ever owned. Certainly worth the wait

Nick, can’t thank you enough for not making an abomination out of this build. No fatcarbon or superconductor moku-mascus-antium. Bless you.

This may be the nicest knife I've ever seen

A subtle,deceptively simple looking, pretty but very functional tool. A clear example of substance over style or maybe a fine balance of the two. Great vid (yet again) Nik, and a beautifully functional knife. Well done to all involved

Man oh man, that is spectertacular. Congrats as well on your anniversary. She decided to keep you around for another year. Well done!

Just an amazing and elegant knife !! Thanks for sharing this awsome piece !!

Wow! Fantastic work Joe and Angey! I want one! I always enjoy your reviews Nick!

Look carefully at this Holt Specter and in the reflection you will see batmascus.

Absolutely stunning... wow!

This is off the charts in every way possible, thanks for sharing Nick!

Someone has some mad skills in the machine shop. I sense someone formerly from the medical or firearms trades, machining hip joints Pacemakers or firearm actions in a previous world. It looks like a harmonica from the edge. I like harmonicas.

Absolutely the first knife I've seen on your channel that had me thinking - " I need that now ". You are a blessed man now . ( besides the wife of course ) Wow.👍

My goodness!! That's the most beautiful folder I've ever seen. Superb precision engineering. The Bugatti Royale of the knife world. I would sell my brother's ashes for it..

Straight into the perminent collection

That is one of the nicest Spectres I have ever seen. Congratulations, man.

You are very lucky, sir. That damasteel (sp?) Knife is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. There is something in the clean functional design and patterns in the steel that makes me almost lust for a blade like that. Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us.

Straight out, I just bought a Grimsmo Norseman No: 1154 and thought no other knives would ever catch my eye like it did, but this.....this is freakin beautiful 😍

Love the understated look on this one - definitely up my alley. Love my bolster lock. Joe and Angey are good people. Selling my V1 was one of the dumber things I've done with knives. _Happy anniversary!_

That's one beautiful piece of art 😍

That’s absolutely beautiful

Absolutely the most beautiful knife I ever seen.

I enjoyed looking at this piece of eye candy but on the lock side it would appear the inlay would allow for excessive dust/dirt to build-up. I don't know how difficult it would have been but if they would have fit it to the CNC machining of the frame/scale as they did on the front I would have liked it more. I do enjoy the craftmanship and artwork of this piece. Very Nice!

Oh my...! Thanks for sharing and enjoy that beauty. I'll try to keep my jealousy under control.

My heart stopped for a second. Wow

Holy crap what an exquisite knife

That’s what talking about beautiful knife stunning Shabazz

😧 😳 🤯 Craftsmanship!

Dude! Beautiful.

Looked like a harmonica in that box :)

Wow what a knife, great job ye have done.

Gorgeous!!!

Batman mask very much needed

Bloody beautiful

Nick, that is an absolutely beautiful knife. I now have a grail.

I have a 1st gen Specter. I love the unique double click sound sound of the detent. I wonder if they would custom incorporate that into a new knife.

Clean. Very nice

that IS a beautiful thing indeed!

Nick will add a polishing cloth to his edc now.

That is one great looking knife/piece of art. Love the bolster lock aspect. I’m not a huge damasteel guy because I’d be too afraid to use it haha. Can’t wait for the Sonoma review as well!!!

Its freakin gorgeous... but I'm not into the fingerprint magnetism.

Beautiful blade. Even though it's a finger print magnet.

Nick, this knife is drop dead gorgeous. From Google, "The definition of custom-made is built to a specific order or specifications." I get knife reviewers struggle with language, e.g. custom made, hand made, production, CNC, eh... "bolster lock." This is the very definition of custom. You and the Holt's worked out a design made just for you. Doubtful there will ever be another like it. I have gone round with Doc F on this, where's the bolster? It's a frame lock, maybe we could say with Faux bolster... maybe. As to handmade, etc? That's another conversation. Beautiful knife. Nicely thought out with complimentary choices of materials rather than a little bit of everything. You 3 did well.

About the only knife I haven’t had. Will have to get one someday soon.

sweet looking knife!

Not a Damasteel aficionado but well done none the less.

I thought it was pretty till you turned it over and I saw the clip. Now I want one

A drinking game for people who want to die of alcohol poisoning: take a drink every time Nick wipes down the knife with the microfiber cloth.

Perfection!

Hot damn! That’s nice!

Awesome !!!

Looks beautiful but its a fingerprint magnet

I'd honestly be too scared to touch it

Does it cut through plastic strapping well?

As beautiful as it is, I could never do that mirror polished damasteel. The fingerprints would drive me nuts.

How much does it weigh compared to the v3???

That's one sexy beast, not a box cutter for sure.

How much would it cost me to buy an exact one like yours???

Amazing knife Nick Congratulations. I am curious about your Spector V3 Charity GAW. Will it be opened to Canada as well as the USA?

Damn brother, that is gorgeous. I'd be interested in seeing a knife done in full ti with that finish. Also curious how it would wear over time.

Too nice for me 😁

Bolsterlock? I was expecting the lock to be part of a...bolster. : )

I saw the Instagram posts a beautiful knife!

I've never been knocked-out by the Holt design, and the mirror damasteel is not my kinda thing. But I have no doubt they're great knives.

The Shabat Specter extremely jealous I got dibs if you ever sell it that is a gem 🔥🔥🔥.

Holy Crap, indeed!

Made in USA, and looks great!

Not sure the mirror polish is for me, you need to bring a cloth with you all the time to carry it (= But man do I want any basic specter.. I hate that you can't just go out and get one of these knives when you have the money. I just got my first norseman and would love to experience some of these beloved knives myself 😕

This is so nice it is obscene

About time!....... Showy

What series number is this one?

Wow.

❤

Fantastic knife. But more importantly, I’d like to know how your spoon situation worked out last night? lol

I need this knife so dam badly how much ?

Drop dead gorgeous. What else is there to say?

Damn!

I think I just found my first custom

Very pretty, just like you :)

That is one hideous knife. You should send it to me immediately to store in my safe so nobody but me has to look at it. Im willing to make that sacrifice for you Nick. I'll even do you a huge favor and pay for overnight express shipping.

never commit a crime with this and drop it at the scene

Damn.

NiCe

*laughs in fashion*

Wait holt is in iowa? How have I never known this. It's my home state.

These look like beautiful knives. Everything I’ve seen and read, just gorgeous. Unfortunately, it’s another “get on a list, after the opening of the books” situation I absolutely hate. Obviously it works for the knife makers, but it doesn’t work for me. Very Very nice knives, but there’s similarity nice knives, of similar quality, that are made continuously, making getting one more achievable for us mere mortals.

When some one says, "I'm not gona give the price, cause I don't know what they might charge for this in the future". Translation, I'm a big time knife reviewer so I get preferential treatment and special discounts on knives. But in all honesty I don't have anything against the guy, its non of my business and if he got a deal on it good for him.

It's an awesome knife but you just can't get them. They sell one or two knives a week max (they skip weeks a lot too) using their lotto system. I mean I know nothing about CNC machining but is it really that slow of a process? Knife making must just a hobby for them because there's no way they're making a decent living with the amount of knives they're currently selling. To each their own but if I could make knives of this caliber it would definitely be my full time job.

Dam Nick, I'm not a jealous man, but...

Of course you’re crazy. Still right.

Screw it, I'm just gonna ask..can you help me get one Nick? aaagggghhhhhhh!!!! I'll settle for a standard V3 I guess...Lol

So you bought a knife you'll never use then right?

Who’s Nate?
