thats the demko shark cub, stealth edition and in artillery grey colour (they have a fully blacked out one as well but I think this one looks better) One of the best versions of an already good knife

Yea Ive had my eyes on that before. It really does suit my tastes, especially the wharncliffe one. Its just that its constantly out of stock when I looked for it Not to worry though I really have enough knives to enjoy for now lol. Thanks though

I can confirm, my Spiro is so well built and it's incredibly well designed for how much they sell for. I just wish they made it slightly smaller but with keeping all of the same proportions.

The crossbar spiro has some of the best action I’ve felt. Awesome knife I think you would like it too. I just saw the other day he dropped a new batch of crossbar nomads. Today is payday and if they’re still in stock I’m picking one up. They come in warncliff too! Good call on the Asher

Hey, thats the Ironfly Yolo (part of Kunwu's budget brand). Would highly recommend it if you like wharncliffes and button locks

yea it is really excellent, and I really feel like this new batch have a much better feel than the original first releases And you're welcome, thankyou as well

Yea they are amazing. If you want one of them, start with the 4th one (Ironfly Yolo because its a budget knife). Probably one of the best budget knives I got last year. 70usd is pushing it a bit for budget but its way cheaper than the ones surrounding it

Thankyou, same to you too, for the shark cub these versions I’m showing they were selling them off the demko website and Bladehq as well, if you live in the states they should be easy to get eventually. I got mine from the website but with that colour scheme it’s sold out. Haven’t checked if they have restocked but I’m sure they will soon once the initial surge is over. They are absolutely fantastic and the best version of the shark cub I’ve had

@Archetype_EDC good too hear brother so im making a good choice

I'll be dipping in and out, its not too bad, and yea its all about having a nice chat with the knife club and fellow enjoyers. It has definitely been fun/informative at times and I've learnt loads of things along the way And yeap.. whenever something drops onto the floor here is always a bit scary, theres the quick picking it up and examining it for damage. And yea of course damage and dings are fine and accumulate over time, its just natural. But that certain types of damage, like your scales splitting open, or a tip getting bent is not a lot of fun Kizer have kinda slowly gone ahead regarding more budget oriented overseas companies like Civivi. Their heat treatment especially. They have their Nitro V going up to 62-63 on some models ive seen before, average is 61 though, Civivi are still in 58-60 on a lot of Nitro V and their more expensive brand We Knives, they run the 20CV at 58 to 60 as well which is a bit weak. Anyways anything that I complained about in the video is something thats really a non issue, life goes on and its all good 👍 Have a good new year

Same to you man

Yea it is but its one of the few chunky knives that I'll give a pass to because of how much I like it. Also I guess it looks more chunky in the video than it is in real life 🤔, because I usually permanently retire knives that have huge handles. The Canis by Spyderco is still the king of slim knives despite have a huge blade and handle

Ironfly yolo. Kunwus budget brand

Yea its weird how things change, used to hate them but now I love them, was mainly the Kizer Klipper and the Trivisa Antliae that got me into front flippers, although some are still terrible. Glad to hear youre enjoying your crossbar locks now, when we first chatted you were really into framelocks for most knives.

@Archetype_EDC yeah thing definitely chang. I'm really liking most locks . I find the button axis and front flippers are fun. Where as the other just seem sturdy

⁠@@workingknivesyea frame locks are the good old reliable, but for some reason I prefer lockbacks for this. Got something very special with a smooth lockback coming in soon (finally got my hands on a magnacut spydie) Will be up on here as soon as it arrives, most likely. New seaside and island carry hehe 🏝️ got a real nice Lynch clip waiting for it also

@@workingknivesoh and regarding button locks, I’m just sitting and reading now but I have the ironfly yolo with me and man the action on it is just so nice. Would really recommend, especially with that huge wharncliffe blade on it. Just forget the slasher 😂 this one’s half the price and in budgetcut (14C28N) steel lol

@@Archetype_EDC yeah. I have a list of knives I want rn. And some of the ones you have I want. But gotta stay on budget for now

It is beautiful, feels very natural in the hand as well. Yea I had the similar idea lately, its button locks (traditional or compression lock activating ones) with thumb studs. They are so fast to open and your thumb is already near the stud when you take the knife out of your pocket. For Shark locks I think that an opening slot is better, the studs on the Flytanium dont feel amazing because of the spongy detent, even though its perfectly fine unless you are nitpicking, like im doing now But yea, right now I have so much variety that I pick what I want based on lots of other criteria. Button locks, shark locks, crossbars, compression locks, I enjoy them all. Even liner locks are starting to work their way back into my rotation consistently

I have a feeling I know why that person said that thing, probably something to do with it being a very fancy, classy knife (which it is, the maserin power, Italian made) so seeing me flick it out maybe scared he/she out of buying it. Dont know why she wrote it though, its not like I own the company and I just lost a sale lol The motion is very similar to darts, throwing knives. Do it on the grass only then haha, if I let one go flying one its going straight onto marble and that will be another tip I will have to regrind. Oh and its a good way to get rid of lock stick as well, if you do it really hard.

Right on thanks again man 👍

Its lovely, as I said it feels super well made and looks the part. There are 4 other inlay options like wood, micarta etc but for 5 dollars more you can pick the carbon fiber one.. it was a no brainer to pick that. Looks even better in person than it did on the site. Thanks though 👍

its wicked. Very easy to carry and came wonderfully sharp. Its on sale at the moment on Kizer. BTW they discontinued it (along with a ton of other products) so I'd jump on one soon if I were you. This exact model is 41 dollars right now, just letting you know that once its sold out then thats it 😢

I’m glad you brought that up. I’ve never really thought about foam cases long term. I’ll have to check out that Boobowl case though!

Hahaha that other comment was an AI generated answer that youtube is doing a trial with right now. Just thought id press it for fun. Yea names like boobowl dont even light up anything in my brain anymore I see them so many times where I live. Nice to know about long term use on foam cases. I think I just got the first Vault EDC case because it was something that I could buy from a UK online edc retailer that would ship to my location, then sort of really started liking them as time went on

I recently got 1, and yes absolutely pick 1 up!! It’s the exact same lock, and made in the same factory apparently. Me and my brother are loving these knives.. and the aftermarket parts are everything you ever wanted!!!

The arcade is great! The shark lock is exactly the same as the 20.5. Also it comes screaming sharp in s35vn. Really good knife

@@CamboTriton oh cool you have a serrated para 2 as well? That’s very nice. Yea man some carbon fiber lotus scales on that is a massive level up. They are lighter and around half the price as well compared to fat carbon. Shredded CF handles on my regular one is just perfect 👌🏼 I can put you in touch with a guy in Cambodia who can get flytanium stuff for you (he’s professional he does this for work) if you would really want it. Do let me know, and thanks as always!

And yea the frack and cryptid are awesome as well but both versions you saw on screen seem to have been discontinued :(

@@Archetype_EDC Yes, I have the serrated PM2 in S45VN. Happy New Year!!

I love the frack , i use for cook with my friends in reunions

Yea its nice, good blade shape as well. it has a nice snap to it and it falls shut well. Actually Im going to take mine out now and mess around with it whilst I watch some stuff. Its not as good as shark locks but you can go longer because its less painful lol.

Ive had a Hic-cup, I dont know if mine was a lemon but the flipper tab on it was awful, like extremely painful. the blade shape is nice tho for big slices. If you can get hold of a Cryptid tho that would also be a great choice. If you want this type of blade but bigger the Task might be the one. But yea love this little knife, very useful

lol random malls in Asia

I just added the link. I bought mine from a retailer in the UK, a lot of edc sites stock them, just incase their main one doesn't ship to your location

@@Archetype_EDC already ordered one , thanx

@@kenjir0 wow that was fast. Good stuff then, shame I dont have affilate links haha. They are pretty good tho

@@Archetype_EDC ye, i rly needed smth for my knives ;D and just saw ur video, good timing :D <3 when u have more than 10 knives u need to store them somewhere :D i just hit 10 so .. yeah ..

⁠@@kenjir0congrats, hope you are happy with the collection. I think if you like the way they look in this video it will make a great display. Put the largest ones at the bottom of the case (if you want just a suggestion) They are quite durable as well. Love mine and so happy I found them last year

Hey thanks. Its something I like to enjoy visually hence why I said I can look at them in these vault cases anytime. Will do as well anyhow! Thanks and have a good one 👍

Original by Kizer

@brianroyster7510 thank you

That would be nice if more people thought like that, but mostly the majority arent. Same as people in London, they think that its the centre of the world I moved out of London when I was 16 anyway thank God. But yea it would be good to maybe know a little bit about the country that a lot of people In America moved from (Ireland included) hundreds of years ago to go to the new world. Anyhow could go on but wont, I still think its just good to read anyhow, world gets a lot more interesting when you do. I can understand why though, you have everything in the states (snow, tropical weather, deserts, forests, beaches and everything you could want to do in the world) I loved it so much when I was there as well. Happy to be where I am now tho. Cheers anyhow buddy

This is one of the knives of the year for me, instant love lol

@@turing2376 yea it has definitely been modified a bit since the original ones in wood and G10. It’s way thinner, I’ve been distracted by another knife to really do any slicing tests but for sure it would do better. I did carry it for a few days because I wanted to check that it was still corrosion resistant and it seems to be extremely so (super sweaty hot country here) But yea I have two original ones lol. I did regrind the blade on the rosewood one because it was chunky, but the ebony one is untouched. The numbers on the website are all the same but for sure the blade on this one is wayy thinner, just by looking at it you can tell.

@Archetype_EDC that's awesome to hear! That's just the excuse I need to pick one up.

@@turing2376 Haha nice nice, the button lock Prado is really unique feeling as well. Didnt know how it was going to feel but the answer is great. Enjoy yours when you get it, if you do 👍

Yea extremely snappy and solid feeling. It’s aluminium but the finish on it makes it feel like anodised titanium

Thats the Heretic Jinn, a slipjoint that I'd been eyeing for a long time, Magnacut and a hollow ground wharncliffe

@ nice thanks!

@@ryanholloway5576 anytime 👍

Yea same, havent had it that long but its nearly perfect for a slim lightweight carry that feels so solid

@@GoONiE_EDC yea it’s about .3 oz lighter. Such a good edc choice though as well, I had enjoyed the G10 one for a while before coming across this, It’s almost like an updated version. If you ever decide to get one I’d recommend it, feels like an entirely different knife. Sound is nicer and louder as well, if that s of any interest

@ We knife people love Demko knives sound/ acoustics. The best 💯. I’ve been drinking my coffee this morning flipping my flytanium Arcade around like a mad man. My wife is probably going to have a nervous breakdown lol

@@GoONiE_EDC Hahaha, yea the sounds are a special treat on an already great set of knives. Love the Arcade as well. Funny you should type that, Im up nice and early on my side of the world, having coffee right now, got my Shark cub and playing with it a lil bit right now
