Nah I wanna see that pocket pry

What a chunker!! Bro I'm truely stuck! I want to treat myself to a nice blade this Christmas. I really would prefer and automatic. If you only had to pick one knife which would you select between: A natural clear tanto Socom Elite Auto, Stitch partly serrated auto (stonewash), Pariah all blacked out auto??? And for the manuals which would you pick between a Pariah button lock all black partly serrated (not the mini), this monster Kodiak or a Medusa all black (or stonewash blade). Would appreciate your view. Cheers

Think this might be my next knife buy

is that matte or regular black micarta ?

Benchmade has really jumped the shark with pricing. They've gone insane.

Hey bro I just came across your video. I've had the 187 for years. As far as the opening. Give it some time and let it break in. In the early years you would get instructions explaining it's going to be tight . They break in really nice and close easily after awhile. I'm going to check out some more of your videos. Thanks for this one

Did you end up keeping it? Just found this video 10 hours after ordering!

Thanks for sharing. This was right to the point

bro, bro... nope!

I really like the color of your scales, are they the black or green micarta?

ProTech is a banger 🔥🔥

I have that exact variant and I love it, the lighter weight and better balance compared to the titanium versions is great. Mine has an amazing detent for a crossbar lock straight out of the box, way better than my two other kunwu’s (compact Chad and pulsar). The Bowie clip point is so, so attractive. The one thing was I wish they textured the CF! Textured CF looks and feels amazing and they do the texturing on all the other materials! But regardless I love this knife, favourite kunwu out of the ones I own and all the ones I’ve handled for sure

No oil or water??

Microtech all the way. Although Heretic has some interesting designs.

Niiiiice bro 👍🏾 How’s the kick compared to the Stitch or Socom Elite???

way over priced

The Django is a sweet blade that punches way above it’s price, especially in titanium, although the carbon fiber is really nice. That DLC is very scratch resistant and looks awesome. The XL is the bomb👍

0770 or 0450? I’m looking to get one or the other but can’t decide. Which is a better overall edc?

Fantastici👍

Legit otf. But stiffest action ever. If they fix that I'll buy one again. Sold mine cause I have arthritis

Bro, dont cut in between your legs. Your major blood vessels lay shallow here. Thanks for the info i ordered 1👍

Great video! Thank you 👍... So I'm looking to treat myself to a nice knife before the end of the year. At the moment it's between the Stich Auto, the Heretic Medusa Auto or the Socom Elite Auto. I've handled both the Stitch & Elite and was blown away. However, I really like the look of this Medusa. In your opinion which would you say has the hardest kick? Also which would you say is built the best overall? Cheers

If you ever plan on using the chord then id akip tge super glue.

I'm thinking about the carbon fiber Manticore x. Love my Guardian Tactical. Great action. Adding more otf knives to my collection and want to try several different makers.

Great video

Throw it on a Whetstone. Convex are the easiest grind to sharpen, and all grinds when sharpened by hand eventually turn into a convex. Just go very lightly and follow the geometry of the blade (the curve against the stone)

I think the lock is a great design.

Oh btw you can absolutely get a mirror polish on a semi-coarse grit edge like this one, but I would suggest getting a bigger strop and loading it with much finer compound than this. 2000 grit is actually fairly coarse as far as compounds go. My favorite one is 1 micron which equates to somewhere around 15 000 grit. So bigger strop, finer compound and lots and lots of elbow grease. You mentioned 30 passes, its more like 30-45 minutes of continous passes to get a 600 grit edge up to a full mirror shine. Of course the "best" way to achieve mirror polish would be to keep following the grit progression up on different stones, you should start seeing a cloudy mirror at 3-5000 grit stones and a fully clear instagrammable polish at 5-8000 + stropping after. Im not convinced that a field sharpener that only goes to 600 grit is the best tool for that particular job though, but its probably doable with enough effort. edit: also, finer leather for your strop goes a really long way

Good advice from your commenter tbh. Relying on counting strokes on each side is okay when starting out, but eventually you will likely realize its very inconsistent because a) no 2 freehand strokes will ever be exactly the same, b) you dont actually know how many strokes you need, its just guessing if one is deciding on a number up front, and c) the best way to know when its time to move on to the next step in the process is to actually check, and the way to check is inspecting the edge visually and feeling for a burr. I like to think of it like cooking. Sure you can practise the same recipe enough times that you can successfully throw it together, but if you are trying something new (like a new knife/steel/geometry) and you dont taste (check) as you work then you have no idea if what you are serving will be any good or not, and you lose the ability to correct as you go.

Not a bad beginner tutorial. What happened to your strop though?

Entirely too expensive for what it is ‼️

I find it extremely difficult to open my new small Inkosi,, I feel like I've wasted a great deal of money,, 😰

For that price S35VN Blade only …? Shoulda be Bohler M390

I picked up one cheap in a trade and I like it a lot. Only gripe is the G10 handles have a couple of hot spots that I need to shave down.

Thanks for doing the vid. Yup, I'm going to carry mine. If I were asked, I would say please lose the hole in the blade. Make the thumb studs double as blade stops in both the open and closed position.

Umm. Ditch the WD 40. IT Will leave an varnish film that will slow ur action down. I use Gun Blaster, or Liquid Wrench

Is the blue more rare than black?

Pretty clean for something you carry on a regular basis.

Cool pen 👍

I just ordered one. I’m a little concerned with the finger safety on closing it, but I’ll have to see. What do you think or how do you feel about that? Is it easy to cut your finger if you aren’t paying attention?

Is it too big for concealed carry?

Medford’s are smooth whether on washers or bearings depending on model. I love my M-48 for not being another floppy overly fast bearing knife. Extremely good manufacturing tolerances and if you don’t notice that you’re not there yet as a quality knife aficionado. The lock bar is fine unless you type for a living. This is a real work knife not a sissified fast action fidget toy.

The anodized color fades over time when exposed to light.

is the screwdriver magnetized

Thanks bro

Your pivot might be loose, it doesn’t sound right when it closes. You can adjust it with a T30 until there is no side to side blade play and then work the action until it smooths out. Washers keep grime from getting into your pivot and has a more controlled feel but they are by their nature not as “smooth” out of the box as bearings. More contact, more friction. That model looks bad ass in all black though.

PRICE CORRECTION- These go for 300$ actually! Sorry was thinking about a different knife when saying the price

I wish I would've gotten my Gunny with the thumb ramp..

$150 x 2

Where can you get an American made knife of this level of finishing for $200?
