It could definitely be better, I wish it was. The mechanism is outstanding though, I'll give them that for sure. Thanks for tuning in!

@@EDChero I carry it in a seperate case so I find it okay. Especially because I love the bold, blocky design of the clip, and also the mechanism of the switch and the side click.

What's your favorite pen at the moment?

@@EDChero It's my tactile turn side click mini with a tidi clip, simply because I am not afraid to use it, unlike my other pens which are stored away. Also, I use mini sized notebool with an external pen loop that fits the pen without needing to use the pen clip. What's yours?

@@sehunhan1195The latest one that I'm liking is the copper Big idea Design Slim Click because it checks all of the boxes for me as a daily use pen at work. All time favorite, probably the Smooth Precision Pens (Urban Survival Gear) Ti-Scribe or the Fellhoelter TiBolt 🤔

@@LT4me Definitely, I just tested it for you and it works just fine. There's a very small chamfer running down the edge of the spine but it ends about 1.5 inches from the tip and its a 90 degree edge down there so it will strike a ferro rod no problem.

Congratulations! You had to be fast on the trigger that's for sure 🎯

@stephenmiles1253 If you don't mind me asking, how are you listening? In the car, headphones, on a tv? Thank you for the feedback, this is the audio equivalent of being at work all day with a booger on your shirt and not one MF'r says anything about it and you don't see it until you get home and catch yourself in the bathroom mirror lol. I have been working to dial in the audio and it has been a challenge so far to say the least. If the mic is too far away then my voice seems faint and distant, hard to hear. If the mic is too close then it sounds like I am eating the mic like a Costco hotdog and you can hear every horrific sound that a human being is capable of mustering while speaking. Add in the fact that my hearing is not 100% either (I do play back and try to check the sound) and it makes it extra fun. Thank you for pointing this out, I will continue to work on this. It has to be doable, I hear other peoples audio and it sounds fine and I aim to improve with every video until I get it right.

Solid username @crispysocksss 🏆🤣 So The plain Ti version could potentially get a little slick but I don't think I've personally moistened myself up yet to have it be an issue. However seeing is how it's a somewhat smooth piece of metal I could see how it might happen. That being said, the milled handles on this skeleton do provide a boatload more grip!

Just like Punxsutawney Phil 🦫🤣

I agree 100%. Can't believe i left that out lol. I will weigh them and put the info here for you in a little bit.

Here are the weights for you @kardtable, as recorded on my American Weigh AWS-100 scale. Standard plain Ti gen 1 TiRant Razor: 81.08 grams... New TiRant Razor V3 Skeleton Edition: 66.25 grams. Both knives had the same Tajima VRB2 V-REX™ II blade installed at the time of the weigh in. I will put this information in the description for other people to check out if they are interested, thank you for tuning in!

Hello John, I failed to mention it but it’s at the end where I play the specs for the last 10 seconds. $155 as configured 🥳

Base price is $135 and mine shown here with the extra screw kit and flush backspacer (no lanyard loop) was $155 shipped. Thank you for tuning in @johnmitchell3206 I will make sure to mention the price next time, I typically do but unfortunately some important details were overlooked in this video and I apologize for not being more detailed.

I appreciate your comment and thank you for being here 🏆🥳

It's a great OTF 🏆 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZnQqGOwhNukbK8si=WeB9Ep6uGvtnQUZL

Lol I carry a Rexford R.U.T for work it's a $200 box cutter.

@pattrass7692 I get what OccupiedMuffins is saying but these are more than just box cutters, there's definitely more nuance to it than just the raw functionality and the absurd prices (the price can definitely be insane unless it's your thing, then cost is almost no object).

$135 - I bought 2 (in case I lose one)

@@Agent-vj3ns​​⁠ There you gooooo! 🏆 I do the same thing sometimes...🎉 FOMO is a real MFr 😂

I enjoyed checking it out and showing it off on video but I ended up not keeping it. The knife had a style that I liked and was very cool and compact but personally just wasn't worth it for me and unfortunately I am unable to keep them all. Thanks for tuning in! 🏆

​@@EDCheroYou think their sheep foot blade has more utility for you? I hear from multiple people they do like the knife but returned it and kept the reverse tanto..

@notifysend1015 I can't help but think the reverse tanto would 100% be more utilitarian and useful at least from what I noticed. I used to have one of the previous gen versions from a couple years ago, it was a nice one.

​@@EDCheroThanks for the information! I use a Bradford Guardian 3 now and like it a lot. It's about the same size as this boker knife but more for hard use.

@notifysend1015 I ♥️ Bradford knives! You'd be hard pressed to find a better small edc fixed blade than that, I keep trying though 🤣 Sometime in the near future I'm going to do a video on my TRC Polheim which is a similar kind of knife, stay tuned.

I can't help but agree, I love the look of this thing! Thank you for checking out another one of my videos @jaimereynolds258 I appreciate you tuning in.

Why thank you, that means a lot 🏆 I'm trying to get up to at least one video per week. As it turns out it's actually way harder to do than I imagined, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of the process 🎯

Tom, I couldn't agree with you more. The pen is so cool though 🎉

Thanks for your input!

The CRK backpacker was released this year and is only available in magnacut. You must be thinking of a different knife.

@@DaleWesley No sir, the backpacker albeit maybe not in its current exact configuration and steel offering has been a staple of CRK since the 1980's. Very simply internet search will prove me right, go to gpk knives for starters. Also, I'd have to go back and scour the forums both blade forums and knife forums to find the threads and post there in about it snapping. So yes, maybe not the one in magna cut but other steel variations have snapped. Moreover, its not the steel its the fact that the tang is highly skeletonized to reduce weight, ergo the name back packer, as back packers watch ounces. So, no I'm not thinking of a different a knife.

I had no idea, if you can post a link to a photo of an old one I'd love to see it.

Thank you 🎉

I should have checked it in a button up shirt pocket, might be tolerable in something thin but yeah, they definitely didn't seem to test the clip for maximum functionality 🤔

Wouldn't someone who's into EDC have a case that holds a flashlight, a pocket knife and a pen? I wouldn't expect an everyday carry enthusiast to clip a pen to their jean pockets directly. They would probably be carrying more than just the pen...

@@addictedtojet That's a fair argument, and perhaps you are correct but I just think they could have done better on this clip. I'm sure this is EDC blasphemy, but in my case I personally don't like being weighed down with a bunch of bulky items, especially when I am at work. I do typically have other EDC items in a bag or nearby but usually only the pen is on my person 100% of the time all day long. I do appreciate other perspectives as I sometimes get tunnel vision and hyper-focus on one thing so I welcome your comment. I hope you enjoyed the video and I do think the pen is great overall.

@@enwin1912 Thank you! Appreciate the sub and quality comments 🏆

Thanks for tuning in @enwin1912 I do the same thing, I have all these ideas in my head how I'm going to use the knife and "this is going to be THE one" and then yeah, right into the drawer 😂.

It is an interesting light for sure! What's your current favorite flashlight that you own?

@EDChero I don't own any😂 I wanna start having a collection of them though and this one looks nice to be a first🙏🏽.

I appreciate your insight and thank you for tuning in! If you don't mind, can you elaborate on all the departments that it is better?

The market seems to think pretty highly of it, every time I see some pop up for sale somewhere they are full Nicholas Cage GONE in 60 🤣

@@EDCherofind something better. You just can’t. They’re flawlessly made.

The closest I've found and I'd even go so far as to say fairly equal in quality is the stuff from TRC Knives.

If I had to choose only one, I'm going to the South Pole also. It's a fantastic knife ✨🏆✨

Thank you for the kind words, I'm already plotting and scheming on the next one while I figure out how to do part 2 for this Hyzer featuring some real world testing and disassembly footage. What kind of video would you like to see next... pocket knife, flashlight or perhaps a fancy machined titanium pen 🤔

I do have a few pocket knives I have to get up but now I'm curious about the pen. Ah who am I kidding.....you post it I'll watch ☺

@lisacarr8530 Sounds like an open invitation for one video of each 🤣 Done and done ✔️

That blows my mind, zero failures 😳 Perhaps it's my aura 🤣 One of these days I'm going to send this thing in and see if they can tune it up, it's still not great but unfortunately it's just kind of sitting around lately for the most part. I'm looking forward to checking out one of their new zero blade play models at some point 🎉

@EDChero if you can find one. Doubt they'll be able to make a ton of them fast due to the added complexity of the internal mechanism. Secondary pricing will be very very high I imagine

@georgetek if they make a smaller one I'd definitely be into checking it out, thanks for tuning in!!

4500 all day lol, not too warm!

Not nice at all! I agree 100%

Incompetent leadership there.

@karlbailey1730 Unfortunately I forgot to mention in the video that one of areas of improvement I'd like to see would be for CRK to add a belt loop attachment of some kind, or an optional belt sheath as an upgrade perhaps. Personally I would like that but I do believe the knife was designed as a true backpack knife (just a guess) so in their eyes a mounting system was unnecessary. The knife is so small and light I can at least understand where they were coming from. Thanks for tuning in 🏆

@DiabolicalSpender great username 🏆 So I have both versions, same emitter in them (519a). I will turn them both on in the highest mode and hold one in each hand and let you know which gets hotter faster. I think they are about the same, and on high that's pretty hot 🔥 I will do it in the next few hours and reply to your comment with my findings.

@DiabolicalSpender I turned both lights on at the same time and held on up near the head of the flashlight. After about 1 minutes both were getting quite warm but the titanium one was warmer. At about 1 minute 15 seconds in, the Ti light was essentially too hot to hold up there at the head, the aluminum was still not as bad. About 15 seconds later the aluminum light too was too hot to hold there. I tried it again this morning and gave the Ti light a slight head start because I had to cycle through the modes a couple times on the titanium light to find high. Even with this slight advantage in timing, the Ti light did heat up faster to the point of being painful to hold onto before the aluminum light.

@@EDChero thank you so much for your response bro! I really love the looks of the titanium variant but I think I'd have to settle with buying the aluminum version and the copper version. It's just a huge deal breaker for me that it heats up a lot faster and as far as I know, Ti retains heat much longer than the aluminum version.

@@DiabolicalSpender No problem, thanks for tuning in! (As much as I like Ti, for the money I think the aluminum version is pretty hard to beat in the S2+) For me I pretty much have to use either one of these on the third level up from the bottom (out of 5 levels) if I'm doing any kind of extended use like a walk at night, otherwise they just get too hot. Mostly, if I am needing a ton of light I'm usually only doing shorts bursts anyway and don't run into any issues in my use case.

Brass S2+ is out now and on 100% never gets too hot to hold. Brass is King!

@danjones7 I purchased this great little knife direct from Micael at americanbladeworks.com thanks for tuning in!

@@204_mod_shop You're not the first person to appreciate that car, it was a sweet ride. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp3CY5Kam6xqeLssi=miKUJXD4yn5aTVaj

@ImageLoX It is truly functional art, love it so far!

I agree, definitely working to tighten up the content. Thanks for tuning in, much appreciated!

@@EDChero no problem. Out of curiosity do you know the hrc on the fixed blade? My hope was 62-63 but I haven’t seen info

If I recall it was the same as Chris Reeves, whatever Larin Thomas recommends. 63-64 I believe. I'll double check and get back to you

@@kadenmoses2180 Confirmed, 63-64 🏆

@@EDChero thanks. I appreciate it

I'm a little jealous I'm not gonna lie, I like that logo on the side 🏆

@@EDChero Hehe! And I like it on the spine, like yours 😛

I appreciate you, thanks for tuning in!

@jerryc5842 much appreciated, thanks for tuning in!

Sorry i was late to the party, sometimes I get caught sleeping and miss out on some good ones lol. I think the aluminum version would be great, glad you snagged one they are fantastic lights.

@@EDChero no worry man, thanks so much for the review! looking forward for more good stuffs and recommendations from you!

@andyprice4696 How are you liking yours, is this your first Carothers? I saw that drop mentioned but then spaced it, how fast did it sell out?

@@EDChero in my opinion it’s one of the top semi-custom fixed blades you can buy from a USA maker. Yes it is my first Carothers. I’ve tried numerous times in the drops and this time I was #40 in a 40 spot drop. Had my comment placed in 3 seconds. Crazy to see 40 knives gone in 3 seconds. Well worth the price they are asking. Now I need to get one in the delta 3V as well.

Thank you, and thanks for tuning in 🎉🏆

Hey there! what is your fav steel for an application like this?

I’m an old school 16 year disabled combat veteran, 18b All these super steels to me are like how Baskin Robbin’s went from 10 To 31 flavors of ice cream I still only eat 3 Anyway, give me a good steel that I can easily touch up in the field with minimal work Stropping preferably I’ll take 1075 on a machete 1095 on a blade My blades are tools not museum pieces I take care of them and use them for their intended purpose I don’t use a blade as an axe However, on occasion I will use a hatchet as a blade Particularly smaller hand hatchets Call me old and out of touch However I have other blades in different steels 3V, AEB-L, CPM varieties And I don’t mind some of these steels Hell I’d take a magnacut folder for my pants pocket But I still enjoy my three flavors, particularly where I know they work perfectly for me ✌️🇺🇸

@jrbarilla I appreciate your service 🇺🇸 and insight, thank you for sharing! I sure do like me some 1095 too 🎉

@@jrbarilla I concur with your sentiment. My "three flavors" are 1095, 52100, and O1. Not ready for, nor do I need Magnacut.

@@EDChero I’ll take some 80CRV2 as well. A little tougher than 1095 but still very serviceable in the field ✌️

@bizkitk9 thanks, this is the first time I've seen one in person. It's incredibly nice, definitely scored on this thing 🎉
