Hi Jake. I agree. Looks like a beautiful (and legal) knife. Very interesting. Thanks for the review.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Thanks for watching. I will be keeping one of them as a user, and I might even keep the other one in factory condition. I don't keep most of the knives I review but I have become a big fan of the KVAR.

[@johnnydoh6756]

That does look very useful. Thanks Jake.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

You are very welcome. I think it is one of the most useful folding knives I have reviewed in a long time.

[@nino71]

this reminds me of the Finn Wolf from Cold Steel

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Similar in some key ways. But there is better steel on the KVAR, and I just don't prefer a scandi grind on a pocket knife except for when I am on a hike or camping, but that's just me.

[@bokusimondesu]

Good review of a well made knife.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Thank you.

[@safromnc8616]

I like the knives but will check out the Tri for sure. Never been a fan of back locks (try as I might).

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Nothing wrong with have personal preferences!!

[@PomoxToaster]

Interesting knife, and I appreciate the review. That method of using the liner and a bar to replace the usual sort of spring steel bar in a back-lock knife that often rusts, bends, or is a nuisance for teardown is indeed clever. I'm not machinist or engineer, but if those liners aren't made of a spring steel of some sort, does flexing that way against the flat plane not risk them bending or warping? I ask the question more out of curiosity than expectation that it's a problem. I suppose it's probably comparable to what you expect of a liner lock knife? Interesting either way.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

It does make reassembly tricky, but even a traditional spring of this same strength makes reassembly quite tricky. Those are very good questions. I have the same question about the steel type chosen for the liners and I have asked them the same question. I hope they let me know soon - when I have that information I will put it in a video, at least in a Short.

[@jkirschy]

Would you call it a clip point? I mean, its a very long clip point, but... Edit: Given the weight and size... This seems more like a belt knife to me.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I would probably call it a clip point, but I wouldn't say that someone calling it a straight-back was wrong either. I will carry it as a pocket knife, but I can understand why you might prefer it as a belt knife. My issue with belt knives is that I don't like how they feel when I am seated, but tgere are some sheaths that hold the belt knife on an angle and that is much more agreeable to me. This style - amzn.to/3At87R1 (I wish Popov Leather would make a sheath something like this.
