@@yeetee2781 you couldn't be more wrong. This was handed to me by Spyderco at IWA 2024. The genuine article.

There is a sixty second short format review for those preferring a shorter video.

I thinned out the end ad now prefer it kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4TVn2dui56neLsfeature=shared

No knife is for everyone, just like a Kukri isn't 🙂

@@crazyharry1586 I also create a short format 60 second review for those with less time. That might be better for you.

Actually @barrycole not to blow my own trumpet, but I approached them and eventually persuaded Puma to allow customers to choose to have a plain edge, as adding the serration is a step easily removed from the manufacturing. The 'normal' version has the gristle saw. There is no cheaping out by Puma, instead they listened and gave customers a choice.

@@TacticalReviews Original design calls for stag handles. Even the wood and rivet set up of todays issue, cheapens the design. I have been around the knife game long enough, to know when it is time to break out the umbrella.

@@barrycole so you know the Automesser dates from the 60s with the wooden handle and was sold alongside the White hunter with stag handles since then.

Hello from PUMA, tacticalReviews is absolutely right. We have listened to many calls from our customers who asked for a version without a saw tooth. People complain that they can't carve well when they have a serrated blade. Additionally, we still sell all versions to this day: the White Hunter, the original Automesser, and the new version without a saw tooth. We are not cutting corners! :)

@@PUMA-WERK I am no longer interested in the brand. Too much rah- rah is what I learned. They priced themselves out of the game.

There is a lot online about sharpening serrated edges. Spyderco's own Triangle Sharpener is an excellent option (which I have), and you can always use a standard stone just on the back as the serrations are a chisel grind.

@@TacticalReviews you are awesome thank you so much and all the very best to you

That Sandrin Torino has been put into an emergency pack as I wanted the longest edge retention for emergencies.

Typically the salt series are aimed at those working on, in or near the sea, or other highly corrosive environments. I personally use this knife in the garden where it get a lot of wet cutting use, wet by the sap of plants and trees and I just don't have to look after it apart from the odd ulrasonic bath to get the muck out and then sharpen.

One is none ;-) But also, multi-tool screwdrivers and bitholders are not able to apply anywhere near the turning force this can. Yes they are convenient, but when you want to get serious, the MetMo Pocket driver really turns up the torque and doesn't need any special bits.

@TacticalReviews If you're talking about getting serious about repairing a wider variety of problems, I think you're in danger of leaving the realm of EDC. There's a limited amount of stuff I'm willing to carry upon my person. And that already includes things like a portable folding keyboard and phone stand, in my instance, and also a juice pack. Also things like a rain poncho and a first aid kit. I have a portable toolkit I take with me when I'm planning on doing repairs, which includes screwdrivers, a small socket set, an adjustable wrench, a lightweight hammer, and other things like that, but I don't walk around with it.

@pleappleappleap if it's not for you, it's not for you 👍

@@Hugoazul77 thanks for your insightful feedback.

What holster?

Did you read the description for the video?

I've been carrying this for a long time now, and have never actually used the lock, and have never had an accidental switch on. The button is flush so less likely to be pressed accidentally.
