I don't need anymore small knives but I'm really digging the green stonewash one. I would like to see a full size model of the Corgy V with this beautiful, clean, minimalistic look.

I like the new Corgy V a lot more than the previous ones

This has been my EDC since April. I spent dozens if not literal hundreds of hours looking at knives, comparisons, etc, trying to find a design I really liked. This was one of the only knives I fell in love with, been rocking it daily since. There's times I wish I had a more slicey blade but I love that you can abuse it and it won't care. Benchmade heat treats their Magnacut to 60HRC, which is on the low end for Magnacut. The good side of that is that the lower hardness makes the steel tougher, less prone to chipping or snapping the tip, and a lower hardness also increases the corrosion resistance, making the Mini Adamas' blade almost completely rust-proof. Great knife that could have been even better with some improved blade geometry and a slightly higher heat treat. I'll be carrying mine for years, if not decades to come.

Thanks. This knife is going to be my wife's Christmas present to me. I am looking forward to it!

Looks great. I have the T024. Are the blades interchangeable with the G056 blades and vice versa?

I had ordered mine on the kickstarter site.

I've seen these a lot on here how do i get one, it's an amazing bit of kit.

Love this design!

About the lever to unlatch the knife holder to flip the knife over, is the spring tension adjustable to reduce the effort to release / lock the knife holder ?

Love this knife! When I got it, they offered a 4th blade option on their website for another $10. I use this knife in the kitchen for food prep.

The prices they have for the holiday are very good

I appreciate the video dude! I'm not sure what you'd call that part either, I think maybe I've called it a lockbar access cut in the past?

Thank you so much for your support of HX OUTDOORS! We truly appreciate your encouragement❤🥰🥳

This is my first fixed blade EDC knife as well. Strange enough, I like the factory sheathe! My brother-in-law even makes custom kydex. I like the sheath as its easier to reholster the knife as apposed to a slimmer kydex one. As long as the spine of the knife slides against the sheathe, it locks in every time.

Here's a great example of why the small-market independent knife reviewers are worth views and subscriptions. There's a lot of shilling going on with the major reviewers these days. Would they include audio of the blade contacting the plastic sheath showing just how thin and insubstantial that sheath is and then actually comment on how cheap it feels? Nope. They're going to just go on about how it's light and reversible.

Did yours come with spacers? My issue is that if you only use a few of the tools then the whole thing becomes wobbly and unstable.

Pretty good review. 2 things though.moving the pocket clip to where you want it is maybe a 3 minute fix and vg 10 while not an over the top steel is still a far cry better than anything 420 adjacent

Love the Windeler look and idea, but the customer service is bad.

Nice review, man. Just ordered myself one after a buddy recommended it to me. Been looking for small fixed blade to EDC for a while now. Super stoked for it to come in.

Nice

180cad is a lot for this. I wish they had a no-stone version! but not bad.

Sure hope they offer a led flashlight tool. Also hope to see some small shops offer tools/ blades for this system.

I love the VE18 series! I have the Small (which is the subject of your review) and the Regular sizes.

Nice review. I looked at this, but decided to go with the LeverGear Edge XT.

Love the Raccoon. I much prefer the Top Liner Lock version.

Great knife. I have eye on it.

Those brushes and diamond sharpener file would be great for upkeep of the Victorinox in my main pocket. 😂 The protractor and comb might be nice to have as well as extras but that's about all I would go for.

also you're doing fine, I didn't realize you just started doing this, you have a good narration voice that's not monotone. you don't waste time - you're on the right track, I can tell you've definitely watched a lot of these types of videos like I have lol good luck

I'm interested because of the comb but I don't know about getting oil in my hair lol

Great tool but agree 100 percent - pocket clip is the weakest part on this. Def needs to be slightly longer and not taper.

Thank you for the video and the support! We truly appreciate it! ☺

D2 is a tool steel. It has a moderate hardness, good edge retention, and is good at resisting corrosion. Most Chinese companies used to use 18crMOV which is trash

Excellent review! Thanks, David Martin Jacobsen

Wish they would print the grit numbers on the rods themselves

Like the idea...but I think the look of it is terrible.

День добрый Дэвид. Сделайте обзоры у себя по камням как искусственным так и натуральным было бы интересно посмотреть.

Helpful demonstration of the system. Thanks!

On a basic level this this is a good video, but I like how deep it gets referring to tools as “a piece of art”.

Hello. Wire cutters in my "Sailor Pro" are replaceable. I was quite surprised. Great reviev btw.

I went to Lowe's and bought 1/4-20 x 3/4 in flat phillips machine screws to replace the hexagon shaped screws that you needed the allenwrench to tighten the screws. Now all I need to tighten the clamp is a phillips screw driver.

Is there an adapter that can be used to sharpen scissors?

Fantastic review. Much appreciated. How would you compare this to the Xarilk Gen3 that you recently reviewed? The system you show (the version without the pedestal stand and included stones) is selling for about $234, while the Xarilk can be had for as low as $79 right now. Do you think this system is worth 3 times the price? For reference, I'm a complete rookie and don't own any crazy high quality knives. Mostly chef style knives under 60 HRC and angles between 8° and 20°. I'm doing basic home cooking. Just looking for a decent sharpening system and was going to get the Xarilk Gen3, but wondering if this unit would be worth the extra price or just overkill for what I need.

You need a microbevel on the apex around 2 degrees higher than the edge. So if your edge is 20 deg. use a ceramic honing rod on it at 22 deg. Amazon sells ceramic honing rods with plastic guides to help you get the angle you want. I just got one and it works great to get that next level of sharpness you (and I prior) didn't know we were missing. I guess you could try using your highest grit stone at 22 degrees (or sharpen at 18 and microbevel at 20 if you want). But you have to use a feather light touch. Good luck!

Do you think this unit would be capable of sharpening a chef knife with a recurved style blade? For reference, I'm specifically referring to a knife like the Dalstrong Gladiator Series 7-inch Barong. (I'd leave a link, but KZbin won't allow it.) Thanks for a great video!

Good demo! It’s surprisingly similar to my Kadet Pro that cost 6x more. A wrap of kapton tape will firm up the grip of the clamps without the wiggle of rubber. What size are the clamp screws? A knurled or T-handle wrench should provide enough torque to adequately tighten the clamps. What is the diameter of the rod? Curious if other stone holders (like Hapstone) will fit to allow two-sided flat ended stones like Venev. Thanks!

This system punches well above it's price range

WIll the stone holder accept dual sided stones like the Venev Centaur? Thanks

How are the locking mechanisms on the rotation bar and the angle set, compared to the TS Prof?

Do you know if this unit acepts the TSPROF stones?

I like mine
