FYI, QuietCarry has now confirmed to me and added to their website that the knife is made in Taiwan. Good news, Iceland-haters!

I can confirm that knife was indeed in Nicks shower on 14 of the nights I accidentally happened to be in a blimp nearby his house with the binoculars mounted to the blimps viewing carriage pointing at his bathroom.

you know the knife is damn good when the only real bad thing Nick has to complain about are Shallow screws.

Thanks for your review Nicky. Very good job!!!

I've had this knife for months and I adore it, gets extremely sharp, holds it well and cuts like a dream. I have to say that though that with all the use I've put it through it's developed a small amount of play vertically at lockup. Overall in my opinion it's without reproach.

Just picked up one of these in blue G10. WOW. The G10 is really super well done, the blue is very classy, and in stock now, FWIW. Mine has perfect action out of the box and came hair shaving sharp. Superb quality.

When I first got this knife I knew it would be a Gem 💎!

I bet the value of that knife triples for having showered with Nick.

i will purchasing two for my shower one to open shampoo and one for conditioner

I have vanax 37 (an older version of vanax super clean) on my Shirogorov jeans but that is a big blade, it would be nice to get it on a Slicey version of it!

It's looking like this Quiet Carry Waypoint is going to make Nick Shabazz's Top 10 Knives of 2020. Great review video about a great knife. I've really liked the design/look of what Quiet Has put out so far. I haven't owned one yet but definitely hope too.

The design and materials on this knife are a huge win. The price might seem a little steep at first, but when you compare it to what Spyderco is charging for some of their Taichung made knives it's not too far off. The warranty only applying to the original owner is kind of lame though. The thumb stud was more difficult for me from the left side at first, which was annoying as a lefty. Once the knife broke in a little it got much easier.

I’ve had this knife for approximately 3 months and it’s one of my favorites! From the action to the slim and relatively lightweight design (2.7 oz) and the wire deep carry clip just fantastic! Being completely rust proof is a big bonus. The Vanax blade came very sharp is very thin slicey. At $300 it’s not cheap and the only “negative” thing about it...but I guess you get what you pay for. Excellent EDC knife!

Can definitely see some sebenza influences, I like it.

I put a KWIK Thumb Stud on my Quiet Carry Drift and now have the best of all possible worlds. I can Spydie flick it with my middle finger and I can flick it with my index finger. And now with the thumb stud I can thrust it open like Nick opens the Waypoint. It only took me 8 months to figure out to do this but I have a whole new love for it now.

I completely agree. This is a spectacular knife.

Finaly you made it :) ....i wait my waypoint. Knife of the year definetly!

Very cool knife, excellent review

First, really been looking forward to this review, i love the looks and idea of this knife, I may have to pick up the one with the golf ball ish texturing

You and lynn Thompson are the only KZfaq knife people I have heard discuss shower knives

As someone without the time or skills to maintain a needy EDC, this will definitely be a prime choice for me. That total rust resistance is unbelievable.

Looks like the perfect edc! Damn I want one.

Love my Waypoint...I've had mine for 3 months now and it keeps finding it's way into my pocket

Nick, this is the first knife you’ve reviewed that has impressed me in a very, very long time. You can keep the incessant number of boring slipjoints and CRKTs that have “graced” your videos for far too long. This knife is worth the time, breath and bread.

I’m so glad I pulled the trigger and bought this knife earlier this year (also after seeing it in a Slicey Dicey video). I love it. I hope they will make more for those who can’t get one at present.

Custom Bugouts now available from Benchmade. Thanks Nick!

Amazing. I spent an hour yesterday looking for someone comparing it to the sebenza. Slicey Dicey did it. I was just waiting for your take on it. And it didn't take long.

I love the blade shape on this. It reminds me of the Benchmade 940 which is one of my favorite EDC knives. BUT... had some bad experiences with Benchmade over the last year and have decided to no longer buy from them. I love the axis lock but the blade profile and size vs how it carries is my favorite part. Have to do some reading about Vanax, I know very little about it.

Have you noticed any blade play in long term use? I got mine a week ago and there seems to be a bit of vertical play and that has me concerned. Do you think I should contact warranty support?

I would like to see a G10 version replacing the titanium scales. Hopefully cutting some of the price down a bit. Maybe even "standard" steels so that it is no longer rust proof...but most people really don't need that. Other than that it checks so many boxes: thin blade stock, washers, thumb studs, liner lock and wire clip. So great, just so expensive due to the rust proof thing.

Haha, “I don’t freakin’ know!”. Love it!!!

Nick you need to get you a spyderco manix 2. I got a dlt exclusive in 20cv and I love it

yassss Nick. was waiting for this vid to confirm what I already knew. time to pull the trigger on a waypoint!

Thanks for the video 😎👍

Nick’s reviews got me interested in collecting a few knives. The final result so far is I got a balisong from Benchmade. I now have three sliced fingers. Thanks a lot Nick.

Is there anyway other ordering through the company to get this knife?

Great steel, nice design, sold!

I absolutely will be buying one of these when they become available again. I’m always around water I love my dragonfly h1 but the edge retention isn’t great. Vanax steel seems to be an amazing steel.

Quarantine. We gotta do ah paht. Lol as a Brooklynite I salute you sir

My favorite knife

I have been trying to get the Drift for almost a year now. I have a Waypoint and the IQ also and love them both.

Nice hollow grind. Should like to see it more often on stuff that doesn't cost a fortune.

It's gorgeous. I wish I could justify the $300 for a knife because I really want one.

Nick you’re killing me here!!! It’s a great knife I love everything about it especially me being a lefty not many of the great knives are ambidextrous but they are all sold out!!!

Hey, Nick I’m thinking Sanremu ? What are you thoughts about the maker??? Just for conversation sakes. Regardless of the maker seems to be one hell of a nice knife! Thank you for your vids

Hey Nick, I’m sure someone else mentioned this but your intro says you’re reviewing the quiet carry Drift.

Hey Nick, do you review fixed blade knifes?

Resident Lefty. No issue with thumb studs. Absolutely love this knife. My only recommendation for improvement is lightening the handle more. it feels a bit tail heavy.

Is the float on this knife good?

Hey can anyone tell me the difference between all the Waypoint knives on their website? They look the same but one says SWSW and another says SWSA and one says BBSA.

Did they make changes to the waypoint with the october restock? I thought I heard slicedicey mention a quality control update a la spyderco

So, I should get this?

Lol, this was a funny review. I really enjoyed it. :)

that knife has seen things

Quiet carry dropped some of these yesterday. So they are currently available.

So, now I need this Icelandic shower knife?!

That left hand thumb stud cutout shouldn’t be a problem in my experience.

Possible knives of the year... QC Waypoint, CKF Fif20, Spyderco Astute

Ican get one for 400 . Is it worth it off ebay

Nice knife.

Perfect EDC for Aquaman

The knife I’ve been dreaming about💜

You had me at .08 in blade stock.

Is it the Waypoint or the Drift? I don't know what to believe anymore.

A bit off topic but I know that you appear to favour phosphor bronze washers. My Maserin Nimrod has teflon washers and I was wondering if the 2 types were interchangeable????

On mine, the pivot likes to unscrew itself if I flick it open like that. Besides that, I really like it.

SUPER NOŻYK, ZGRABNY, PORĘCZNY, ZAPEWNE TEŻ LEKKI ( TAKI AKURAT NA CODZIEŃ DO KIESZENI), I JAK PRZYPUSZCZAM, TEŻ NA PEWNO NIE ZA DROGI. AŻ CHCIAŁOBY SIĘ GO MIEĆ, TYLLO HDZIE HO KUPIĆ?

Are you going to review headphones anytime? You should check out Audeze

All waterproof stuff aside, they just make a handsome knife.

I want one too!! October restock per the website! I want a drift also!

Looks nice. I have a large Sebenza and if I ever wanted a smaller one I might look into this instead. I don't like the secrecy around the manufacturer though.

“It’s traumatized a little bit, but it’s fine” never had a knife review speak to me like that. LMFAOOOO

Online econ class orrrrrrr nick shabazz’s new video? The choice is pretty clear

You don’t have a very good pokerface. :) I could hear in the beginning of the video how excited you were that this knife was going to be a gem. :)

Fresh af

the pvd coating on the iq i purchased a while back was scratched to hell when i got it in

All these nice, aesthetically minimalistic, titanium handle scale pocket knives seem to be freaking impossible to get ahold of. I haven’t been able to find a standard small sebenza 31, quiet carry waypoint, tactile rockwall (thumb stud), etc. It seems like none of those or similar styles ever seem to be available.

I'd be all over this knife if it were around the 200 mark. Considering I've never had any of my knives in the shower for a month, Vanax just doesn't appeal to me that much. If I could get this exact design with something like s35vn for $100 less, I'd probably buy it twice.

Very nice. I bought the first drift I could get my hands on from urban edc supply and was so disappointed in the action, and the rolled edge that it put me off of quiet carry. The waypoint does interest me quite a bit though. I wish it was a little larger but it would be a great smaller edc.

I found that I prefer carrying the Atom over this knife. M390 is still very rust-resistant, especially with edci. The slim handle design and stiffer detent on the Waypoint ended up being a combo that resulted in disaster for me. I didn't find it very controllable when opening the knife slowly because of the detent. The slim handle offers little grip, especially with the slick surface of the titanium. One day I was using it in wet conditions (like what it's made for), and when I tried to open the knife I bobbled it in my hand which resulted in me almost cutting my finger off. Had to get 11 stitches. I never felt confident in the purchase you get when gripping this knife, especially in wet conditions. I did feel it was only going to be a matter of time before I would drop it and break the tip. If the handle and blade were both increased in their height, and the Ti frame had milling, this would probably be my perfect knife for EDC without question. Unfortunate.

Just ordered the waypoint, the renegade gungnir, 2 pro tech exclusives and a spyderco shaman.... I’m going to have to take out a second mortgage if I keep spending like this....

Looks just like the Tactile Knife Rockwall

You’re always so charmingly self-deprecating when you’re really enamored with a piece 😛

Nick...do you also run the KZfaq MMA site MixedMollyWhoppery?

I have had a LOT of trouble not carrying this instead of others for the past 4 months. It was like, made for me.

I just learned that I don't have a shower knife!!

snorks at "honey, why is there a knife in the shower?"

Quiet Carry should pay Nick for this review. Last smaller company that had a review like this, was TRM and it is now very hard to get a Neutron or an Atom. When they go on the used market, they are always full price and sell immediately. I've had a ton of offers for my BNIB TRM Neutron.

Böker just released a DA Kalashnikov in D2...🤣

This is largely academic but Uddeholm claims that Vanax has the same corrosion resistance as 316L, but that's probably when it is in an annealed state, which is still really impressive considering 316L is an austenitic stainless, but isn't technically "rust-proof".

And all of a sudden I need a shower knife

SOLD OUT ........

They have a "murdered-out" Quiet Carry... 🤣

I could've sworn Nick already reviewed the waypoint; am I going crazy?

What not a Gem?.....the only minor disappointment for me is the lack of a detent ball ramp, no biggie will do that myself

Good video Nick. I just wanted to know where it's manufactured. I would assume China as well. Then I would seek further info from a famous reviewer like say Nick on KZfaq. Still a gem in the desert of manure that is out there. 👍

That knife literally lasts forever. 300$ is fine

Just checked the Quietcarry website to check out the other finish options, and lo and behold, they're all sold out except for the black on black. I wonder why that might be? 🤔

Neutron, Waypoint, Atom ... this is not an easy choice :)

Just realized he uses the wrong name at the beginning lol (Drift)
