I have carried my Concord in my pocket and have used it daily both roughly and cutting tape since summer of 2013. The finish is gone around the edge and tip. The tip is rounded. It has never failed me. The parts have held together well. I take it apart and clean it and oil it once a year. Love this knife.

I got the F-16 about a week ago and I am almost embarrassed to say exactly how impressed I am with it - very little blade play is exactly right. I believe this is the least in an OTF that I own. Action is insanely fast in and out. Love it - wish they offered it with a little better steel but definitely not complaining at this price! If you like OTF and want what seems to be a quality knife for not a lot of money don't hesitate on the F-16 for sure

Thank you for the information you always give. You're videos are fantastic!! It would be great if the other knives had pocket clips onrhem but as you said, they seem to be more for the collector than for EDC. Again, I greatly appreciate the info. I had no idea what AKC stood for but you have cleared that up nicely. Keep up the vids and great work. Dave

Grindworx has this video posted on their website on the page with the 007 Concord. It is miss leading because the Concord is a mini. If you are not careful you will order a mini when you thought you were getting a bigger knife. I thought about contacting them to see if I could return it and pay the difference for the full sized knife but decided not to.🤔

Holly, I'm looking at purchasing a Blackfinger. I just can't decide between the stainless and black coated blade. In your opinion, which one looks better and is the action the same speed on both?
@Grindworx4 жыл бұрын
I think that would depend on your needs. Having a coated blade is good if you use your knife in a way that increases the risk of rust, but I personally prefer the look of a satin or stonewash finish. There's always a possibility of minute differences between any two given knives (even when they're the same model), but there really shouldn't be any perceptible difference in the action/speed. Good luck! - Holly

Not a big fan of any of these OTFs...I have many, including a few high dollar autos, microtech included. But, to be truthful I gave the video a like, just because it was well shot, and autos are awesome, but, you can get a OTF lightning knife that does have a pocket clip for less than $35.. ...I have a few of them, and they are tough as hell, and they hold an edge pretty decently. It's what i carry when I'm working in my metal shop.
