Greetings, I know this video is some months old, so you may not read it, but I wanted to say thank you for two things: 1. For doing an excellent and thorough knife review. You covered everything I needed to know about this one. 2. Thank you for doing the video in (good) English. I very much like many of the knives coming out of Europe, especially Italy. However, when I seek a review for knives from Viper (and others) they are not well covered and when they are it is usually in a language I don't understand, so I really appreciate you using English. Many thanks... Puccini

Manufacturer of Rahven HIC "elastic ceramic " blades recommended aluminum oxide on soft pad if I recall, though they also say to just ship it back for sharpening. If Cedric and Ana got close to 2500 sisal cuts before a hint of dulling in paper then it might be a while!

Have one from Rahven on the way! Thanks for reviewing this, will be making LOTS of sour kraut with mine ;-)

Another useless ER showing the power of marketing. Built for morons.

Excellent, very informative review. Does it possess a FULL tang or is it highly perforated? Thank you.

Who's ready for the KC-02?

TOKI KATANA- Made for collections and modern combat, sharp as hell....🔥 PS: It is G10 not Micarta handle.

TOKI KATANA ?

Screw the T6 I want this one

Wow! I didn't know Tommaso Rumici was involved in designing those muscle car themed knives for Boker - so cool! What a clever combination of ideas! He really does have an incredible range in his designs. QUESTION: (I'm not sure if it is convenient for you to ask Mr. Rumici, but) What is the story/meaning behind his Maker's Mark on the LionSteel H1 & H2? I was wondering if it's an alien or octopus, and what does it symbolize or why did he choose it?

Fascinating interview with Mr. Tommaso Rumici! I did not mind the length of this video at all because it was so interesting to hear from the designer himself - his thought process and how he developed as a knife designer. I'm planning to buy a Lion Steel H2 in the next 1-2 months, so that is what brought me to this video, but it was still so fun to watch Mr. Rumici give an explanation regarding all the other knives. I think this would be great to do such interviews with ALL knife designers! I subscribed to your channel, so I'll have to see if you also have an interview with other designers from Lion Steel, such as Mr. Michele Pensato ("Molletta"), Mr. Massimo Salice Sanna ("Max"), Mr. Gianluigi ("Wilson") Simonella, etc. For knife enthusiasts, this video is like finding a treasure! I know you could have done this video in the Italian language, and it probably would have been much easier for you both to express complex ideas, but I'm so glad you did it in English or else I could not understand it! Great interview and very insightful questions you asked. Very cool what Mr. Rumici explained about wanting to focus on function and ergonomics over aesthetics (that certainly has worked our well for Spyderco!), as well as his desire to work with production companies so that the common person can actually have a chance to buy and use his designs (as opposed to custom knives that cost thousands of dollars). That was great to hear his perspective on this. It was also good for me to learn about other Italian manufacturers, because I'm an American and only familiar with Lion Steel. I need to check out Viper Knives - very cool! I have a large knife collection, and I primarily only purchase knives made in the USA, but I make an exception for knives made in Italy, because the designs and quality are SO EXCELLENT! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video! 😎👍

Thanks for video ❤

Czy nie wyszerbi się na sęku drewna,drucie, gwoździu?

İ have just ordered Nebula XL, kiku matsuda; may I ask where did you get it from ? It looks very beautiful

mention also the very poor quality sheath

That’s amazing

Awesome. Great review.

If only I could found this blade

Lionsteel M6

🤩🤩🤩awesome blade performance!🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for a very nice and honest review. I will make you something nice soon my friend. Thank you very much🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I get mine on Monday! Nice review sir, thank you!

Most amazing, congratulations! 🥰 👏👏👏

Interesting. The blade geometry is very close to the Senpai Tactical Tanto from Kizlyar Supreme (St. Petersburg/Russia) The Tuscan is more a 'Senpai on steroids'. Doesn't stop me to buy the Extrema Ratio Tuscan. The handle of the Senpai Tactical Tanto, was a style what came after the the very specify handle design of Extrema Ratio........... Senpai Tactical Tanto served me very well as survival knife. Also served very well handling meat, because of the very subtle transition of from the blade edge to the tip-edge. Not aggressive like you see on most Tanto knives.

Beautiful work!

Great exhibition

Great video. Thanks!

Thank you for making this exhibition available online. Amazing collection!

Amazing! You need to get John Phillips of Phillips Forged in this exhibition!!

What was the name & type of knife you would recommend towards the end ????

As mush as I like Lionsteel, and as cool as it is, I'm not a fan of finger choils, 3V or the price when comparing to other, very similar blades to do the same tasks. Great run down on the new design however. I wonder if they will put them into full production.

I cant believe you're able to do that with a ceramic blade! I would never even try that. I bought it for kitchen use.

You can loosen the kydex where it snaps with a lighter. Just do a little heating/loosening at a time. That to me is the perfect knife. It combines every good and desirable feature.

Good review!

I've never really been a fan of Ken Onion's designs, but I could listen to him talk for hours. He has a level of passion, experience and knowledge that's becoming extremely rare. Have you ever handled a WE Synergy 2? I'm sure you'd appreciate it.

@IsitAKnife - Do you have any idea why the KC-01 and the T6 have a rounded spine, not allowing ferro rod sparks? Seems well......very illogical, strange and "thoughtless". I guess the KC-01 has a larger butt area to use than the T6 but still.....the spine is the best area to use for that task. SMH

I like it a lot. I have just made some videos too. The absence of a guard isn't a problem for me, I don't believe my hand will slip at all, i almost never wear gloves unless working in the snow or below -10C. Right now i use this knife in the tropics. Nice review too BTW.

"They were probably thinking of this as a cutting tool".......Yes, it's a knife.... Liked the review.

Beautiful pieces. I would love to have the third one. Thank you for sharing.

Also not common to find in ZA

i really wanted this knife

This is my favourite fixed blade. i have it in bocote, which i stained black to give it a much more pronounced grain. N690 isn't the best for edge retention but it sharpens easily and decent corrosion resistance. i just ordered the Handy in bocote that should make a great companion for the Gianghi.

Bruno Bruna, oltre ad essere uno dei più bravi coltellinai custom italiani è una persona splendida. Bella intervista.

Intervista approfondita e interessante con il grande Tommaso, che è a mio avviso il miglior knife designer italiano. Bella attività divulgativa. Bravi.

This is a T6 with a finger choil in the blade...

❤ great review.

.......

Thanks for the review!

Thank you so much for your review! Very very useful

Looks nice. Reminds me of a Busse
