I picked up the drop point a couple weeks ago. Sweet knife, but the edge grind was subpar. 28.5 degrees on one side, 25 on the other. Some work with my Hapstone after carrying the Mercant for a week and all is happy at 20 degrees per side now. Definitely a keeper.

I like Toor Knives, prefer the bigger one but they aren’t as refined as a Sebenza for sure. Good price though.

The washers have holes in them like crks. Replace the grease in there with crk grease then it will feel better.

Love the review. I didn't catch what steel was used on the blade. Keep em' coming.

Would love to know if this will break in. It’s just unique enough to stand apart from a CRK.

Liking this a lot. Im heavily considering this for my work knife. It's nowhere near the $200 mentioned in the vid title, but still good value considering its competition.
@brevanmcclellan62354 ай бұрын
They have multiple versions of this available on DLT for well under $200 right now!

Like this! Not every knife has to be a flicky clicky fidget gadget! At least the guys making it are erm… free! Well at least to think as they please!

Merchant 2.0(what this is, I have same and love it) is $295. The original merchant(far thicker and had more quality issues from my memory) is $199

Gotcha. Still hard to argue with that price.

On DLT, they have a few Ti models for 125$ Honestly, even if they have some issues Might pick one up for a work knife Ti and S35VN for 125$ is cheaper then even Chinese knives And I have a few Chinese Ti and S35VN knives, usually run around 175-225$

Right?! That's a significant difference. Matter of fact it's what made me click because I thought toor was having a big sale or something... nope.
