Picked one up three months ago. EDC choice for a month afterwards. Find myself carrying it more in more exclusive, gentleman’s knife-type situations now. In every situation I found myself marveling at the knife’s beauty; its design, materials, fit & finish. In and out of the pocket, deploying the blade, ordinary cutting tasks… in every way, operating this knife is pure joy. LOVE IT!

[@DanielSilva-uj5pq]

I’ve owned one of these for a few months. It’s unique and very cool, although not practical. I love it. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

[@KINGACE9]

Congratulations 🎉 on the 400K sub!!!

[@thado3270]

Sharpened the unsharpened side, no problems at all, I think it makes it more fun imo

[@bennettaukerman6802]

Haven't considered buying a CRKT in quite a few years. This may actually be my next. What a handsome design, which I'm certain is vastly influenced by the collaboration with Hogue. Great review, as always. Happy New Year, man. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you bring us this coming annum.

[@charlesperry1051]

I am an engineer (my wife says it is a birth defect) and I love the symmetry. So I ordered one.

[@corwinspyre]

Once you see the asymmetry from the cutout at the bottom of the blade near the handle versus the smooth line at the top, you can't unsee it. So close to perfect

[@ExtraCrispy357]

Hey MC! I totally agree - I have PLENTY of very functional utilitarian blades - now I'm looking for something a bit more "Saucy"! I love the design, love spearpoint blades, and love that it is made in the USA! This knife just moved to the front of my "to purchase" list!

[@codykirk3541]

One of their best selling knives, I think people are excited about it!

[@molon_labe_nc9390]

That's such a awesome design but congratulations on your 400K milestone 🎉

[@joshuareinaas5261]

I've got one of these. It's a fantastic EDC blade.

[@ajpend]

Love this video and your detailed and nuanced way of speaking about knives and knife-buying. This is a tempting piece.

[@Chrusttee]

In Canada this knife would be prohibited (Canada Criminal Code Section 84: a knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of the knife.) That also applies to just about any other crossbar lock, compression lock, button lock, super lock, shark lock, or any knife with a weak detent and/or loosely tightened pivot screw where you can deploy the knife by depressing on the lock and doing a simple flick or by simply flicking it open due to a weak detent. It's ridiculous. Canada's knife laws make a vast majority of pocket knives illegal. That also means Canada's knife dealers are selling prohibited weapons. Are these knives more dangerous than a kitchen knife? Nope!

[@hightwelve9991]

Canada commies

[@403patriot3]

I live in Calgary and I disagree, it has an identical deployment system to my benchmade bailout.

[@Chrusttee]

@@403patriot3 I've got bad news for you... Your Bailout is prohibited too.

[@MrWinger1951]

Excellent review! I had been pursuing this knife since release, it always seemed to be out of stock everywhere (which is great for CRKT business), but finally found one. And your review is far and away the most thorough.

[@craigfavorito9050]

I ordered one (direct from CRKT) after viewing your entertaining and very informative review. The knife is just too sexy to resist, I own plenty of utilitarian knives, this one is just for FUN! Your reviews are really well done. Thanks!

[@paradoxworkshop4659]

I really like the visual weighting of the handle to the blade. The proportions are very nice for a folder, though I would have maybe made the transition from belly to tip a little more gentle... Even more stabby!

[@ajpend]

Agreed.

[@charlessalmond7076]

I love mine. A thumb stud or flipper tab would be wrong for this one.

[@NFK20-dc2cl]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulations MC of 400k and that knife is mmmmm yess

[@RaZoR-BLeedZ]

Love the channel. I just received my second REDEMTION from Crkt. One was Great, one is going back. Keep up the vids. ThanX

[@eanmichael75]

Congratulations🎉🎉🎉 that knife would be double edged in a hot second just for the danger

[@Below-Average_Joe]

You are right about the gravity knife thing. If a cop wants arrest you, you are going to jail even if you win in court.

[@mikereese15]

Well i dig it. Not necesarily for 225, but maybe on the secondary.

[@mooseknucklesmosley]

I think this knife is badass. Ive never had a knife that deployed like that. So IDK if I'd like that part of it or not. But by sight alone I love the design

[@GrimLocke161]

Between the 4" blade, and the gravity only operation, and the omega springs, it's neither legal in NY nor something I would want, but it is pretty. Also, my first full size knife was a CRKT Hissatsu folder, so I do have a teeny bit of nostalgia for them... even if I didn't really like that knife. 🙃

[@TurinAlexander]

I've got one of these and honestly, the lock bar has nothing to do with whether or not it's a gravity knife. You can very easily flip it open without touching the lock. If you know gravity knives are illegal where you are, it's probably best to skip this one. That said, I love the look and feel of this thing. Great lines and well balanced.

[@clintcrosby6337]

I like it. Cool design. Thanks MC

[@PizzaLuva4Ever]

Thing is sick and you can modify and sharpen the first half inch of the other side

[@hificat101]

I'd 100% do that if I got one of these.

[@sijonda]

Very interesting. I was given a Benchmade knife that was lost, found, and unclaimed with a bar lock. I'm not a knife collector by any means not an expert. I just took some time cleaning it and adjusting it. It opens and closes just like this after I tweaked it. I had no idea this could be illegal after I tuned it. It's got a missing stud in the blade that is not threaded.

[@donnyh3497]

I've had one for a few months now and it is gorgeous, it has an amazing feel, and I love it. However I am a little bit self conscious when I use it in a public setting because of it's size and appearance are intimidating.

[@NMiller_]

I'm seeing this knife everywhere... and I want it.

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

Saw it. Bought it instantly.

[@JeffMon2323]

Do you still have all the boxes and paperwork on all your knives my collection is much smaller than yours (a little more than one knife case holder) and all the cases and original boxing pretty much have a dedicated closet lol just curious You have an awesome collection, and I love the videos!

[@metal_complex]

Yes I do!

[@peytonkellar4621]

I’d recommend always saving anything proving the knife is legit

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

I have a CRKT Ken Onion Ripple. Awesome knife.

[@lonetrader1]

I want it BAD for some reason! Doesn't seem too practical but looks damn good!

[@Xanduur]

Picked one up from AG Russell. It’s a little too big for my hand, but I do like the knife. I’ll probably end up flipping it due to its size.

[@jimreed6875]

I feel that adding a thumb stud to this knife would destroy the esthetic. With one of those things stuck on the blade it would simply not look right.

[@hificat101]

Due to the thickness of the bladestock, seems like it might be super good if hollow ground.

[@Turkeythigh420]

One of the only things i still like about oregon is i can and do cary an auto everyday without it being illegal.

[@austinbridge]

I LOVE this knife.

[@FuzzyMutt76]

Congrats on 400k and happy new year!! Keep this up and I’ll have to unsubscribe…just picked up this one via your link to the CRKT website (I love your channel…not gonna unsubscribe…but I might have to take a break, you’re really good at showcasing knives 😉) Thanks for a super great, informative channel! PS I’m NOT buying anymore knives until next year…I swear!

[@gtgibb]

Aaaaand it's out of stock. Less than 2 hours, Great job MC.

[@haggis357]

I really wanted to keep it but returned it. I wish they had added a crossguard as a flipper and strengthened the detent...wouldve made it legal where I am.

[@krazy_roach1698]

400K 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Xxstephenx1x]

I do with they had the flipper tab or thumb studs either wpuld be good.

[@crktritual]

Need to make one with red scales, and etch a skull on it, an call it “Red Dead Redemption” 🤠

[@natedizzah5877]

Love it.

[@grizzlybird165]

Available now on crkt website, dont know for how long

[@No_Lucks_Given]

Nooe not in stock. Been trying to get my hands on one of these since it released.

[@shawnlavigne9069]

Reminds me of a Benchmade 391.

[@nickGEdc]

Congratulations on 400k MC!

[@403patriot3]

That’s a great looking knife, I love anything that looks like a scumbag pulls on someone in a Steven seagal movie before he gets his arm folded like laundry

[@JF-vz1ju]

Man I would love it if the blade was a little narrower or the handle was a little thicker so that the blade would be completely inside the handle when folded so both sides could be sharpened.

[@thado3270]

Sharpened mine, no issues at all, fits 100% into the handle

[@benmalone6968]

handsome ass knife but it’s like not ever in stock, sorta reminds me of the discontinued CRKT Physic

[@robsmith8304]

It's a nice looking knife but I like my EDC Kershaw Leek. I don't think you sold me on this one although CRKT does make nice blades. It would be better if it opened easier like my Leek.

[@palmerconnelly]

I think this is one of my favorite Ken Onion designs for sure

[@lobotomite9767]

Crkt making the thing I wish Jack wolf knives would make. Weird

[@kasper7203]

This video showed up on my Google news feed? How? This video is about knives..

[@LongshotLynx]

Thumb studs are usually training wheels for people on most types of knives that can be designed with alternate methods of deployment. Not to mention they are aesthetically ugly. This knife is not “modern tactical”. A quillion would make this knife tactical. Willing to bet CRKT profiles the edge during production. They are notorious for being wildly haphazard with hand grinds. This is basically a gentleman’s knife. It looks nice aesthetically, but it’s mostly impractical beyond the cutting edge.

[@HOSS762]

So, then all the knives you can do that to, are gravity knives.

[@metal_complex]

If a cop wants them to be, yes. That little warning I gave isn't a joke.

[@HOSS762]

@@metal_complex so then do you give these warnings before every review of a knife that can be opened with the "flick of a wrist"?

[@metal_complex]

No because everyone already knows. This one is just extra "red flag" because there are no other deployment mechanisms

[@HOSS762]

@@metal_complex I'm LEO. I was super confused when this knife came out. Everyone started yelling gravity knife. That's not really how the majority of laws are written to define a gravity knife. The fear mongering over this knife is very confusing. That's all I'm saying.

[@hificat101]

​@@HOSS762the problem is the axis lock and gravity is the sole deployment method.

[@sharpandloud3422]

Gravity knife thing is a non issue with this knife.

[@MrVitamincpp]

it looks like a dagger, but it is not :(

[@LOKObw]

That needs some fat carbon scales

[@DasRanger]

Still out of stock

[@hificat101]

It's in stock on the CRKT site for the same money BHQ is selling it for.

[@mattdagger1480]

Gravity knife or not i just flat out dont likenthe knife looks or function design at all. Personally.

[@maviusxthexmad]

Can't even Fing find it. Been haunting me for weeks. Wtf. I can find it anywhere. Why even make this video... Ffd

[@sodathief]

Try harder

[@maviusxthexmad]

@@sodathief you're an idiot. Thanks. Appreciate how pathetic this comment is. Useless eaters.

[@metal_complex]

"If I can't get the knife, the video is pointless!" Dude stfu. Try harder
