First look at the Koschei OTF knife | The best budget OTF knife?

[@greatmystery11]

I live in Canada and our babysitters won't allow us to own one of these knives. But I really want one!

[@straighttothepoint3477]

That is a shame man. There are allot of other cool knives you can enjoy man. Do you have a collection or just a couple?

[@bandito_dino]

So then buy one anyways? It’s not illegal until a cop sees it bro.

[@greatmystery11]

@@bandito_dino I doubt that they'd ship it here, but I could try.

Awesome Knife for a super price

[@Mekratrig]

Othar than continually deploying & parking, how to smooth out the stiff trigger? Can it be dissembled & internal surfaces polished? Would it be DIY-able, or need be taken to a knife mage?

[@straighttothepoint3477]

I think the issue is in the lack of texturing on the switch. If there was more defined steps or grooves I think it would solve the issue. Take a look at other brands of otf.. all have defined texturing that really grabs your thumb. The Koschei however lacks that. You can try adding a micro drop of oil under the switch but that will only help a little

[@straighttothepoint3477]

You might be able to find someone to mill texturing into the switch for you

[@raydrexler5868]

A dremel with the thinnest wheel and a steady hand is all you need

[@vtxdaryl]

Great knife and review.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

Thanks i appreciate it! Feel free to check out my channel and some of my newer videos so you dont miss my knife review content!😁

[@bradlandry1789]

It's too bad there's so many of us want one of those but we can't afford it I'm looking for the auto scalpel replaceable blade haven't found it yet I know it's coming I can't wait

[@johnm7882]

Great video!

[@marshallgiuffria366]

Hey do you have any discount codes? Or reference stuff that you could take advantage of?

[@jeremym-i6x]

Nice review - I don't understand why all these OTF companies put glass breakers on the butt just because microtech did. They are annoying and 99% of people are never going to use it. In fact im sure you could break a piece of glass with the knife butt alone

[@straighttothepoint3477]

Thank you! And i wonder the same thing! Maybe i will have to make a glass breaker testing video 🤣 ive heard they work good but idk haha. Also feel free to check out some of my newer vids (posted one today actually) and sub so i dont miss your comments!

[@jeremym-i6x]

@@straighttothepoint3477 dude that would be a cool video i havent seen anyone test any of these glass breakers to see how good they work

[@dwiser3242]

I read recently that car manufacturers are putting the same type of glass used in windshield in all car windows now. Laminated safety glass that isn't going to break and just fall out.

[@mikepoteet1443]

It comes in a case with a clip thing with extra parts for when it breaks. Wow!

[@vtxdaryl]

Everything breaks, it would be nice to have the part handy to replace whatever was broken or missing. In my opinion that’s an extra touch of professionalism.

[@grasshopperlawncareservice3269]

Link to buy?

[@antonioprettomelendez2326]

Yeah! is sure I want one or two white or cream color spanking new

[@chikendrumstick]

Great review man, but I noticed you mentioned that Benchmade uses D2. I see why you might think that, as they only mark their blades with “D2”, but they actually use CPM-D2, which is the particle formed version of D2 and is a MUCH different beast as a whole. Keep up the good work though homie. 👍

[@straighttothepoint3477]

That is interesting, I didn't know that tbh, I will look more into it. And thanks man I really appreciate it!

[@jamesfair9751]

Yeah I came to say the say thing. There is d2 and cpm d2 which is powder metallurgy giving it much smaller grain structure a lot tougher and holds an edge a lot better. Regular d2 is still decent enough tho and actually really good on a budget knife.

End of the Year

[@joyceknepper366]

In light of recent events I will not be purchasing anything made in Russia. To each his own of course.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

Completely understand.. I purchased this knife over a year ago

[@dwiser3242]

Why do knife websites state country of origin as China?

[@straighttothepoint3477]

I wasnt aware of this, maybe daggerr knives has them made in china, but i do know Daggerr is based out of Russia

[@Slinkylabcat]

If a full-auto OTF has retraction problems, this indicates a factory flaw.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

I just think the switch is just a bit stiff and has a lack of texture on the switch for grip, so I'm thinking more like a minor design flaw IMHO. Thanks for your input!

[@Slinkylabcat]

@@straighttothepoint3477 Which would indicate an intrinsic flaw. Lookit, I think we can all agree that an overly-smooth OTF action is dangerous. But I have no evidence of this; every full-auto OTF I've had is a thumb-buster.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

@@Slinkylabcat yeah I suppose, the problem would be fixed just by adding better grip to the switch. Also I am going to be posting another, more thought out full review of this knife in a day or 2

[@jamesfair9751]

Yeah microtech has always had a firm button but I’ve noticed the last 3 I got with much younger birthdates has gotten a lot smoother. I believe they have adjusted or changed something inside.

Having to use 2 hands to retract it, pretty much kills it’s attraction💩.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

I kinda agree tbh haha I never carry it.

[@kevin6030]

it's sad that this and the other knives that they make are all you European guys can get man buy something made in the USA like a microtech or a Benchmade or a Spyderco. or a cold steel you'll feel the quality.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

Haha I'm not European😂 I'm American and I own a microtech aswell as a cold steel, and a benchmade, and a SpyderCo.. what makes you assume that I'm European that only buys Russian knives? Hahah

[@swissmilitischristilxxii3691]

I live in Switzerland and I have an Benchmade infidel, zero tolerances, and spydercos. You can order whatever you want online, then it's poker play if the customs get your knife or not. Everything is allowed in Switzerland except symetrical blades and butterflys. I was lucky they didn't catch the infidel = 350$ lost

[@kevin6030]

so you don't know many other knife makers that sell their knives in a padded zip up case almost like a handgun case. you don't have many good knives my friend because 90% of all quality knives come packaged that way or with hard impact plastic cases. not bragging just speaking from experience my friend. these are low to mid grade knives. get a microtech and you'll see what a nice OTF is.

[@straighttothepoint3477]

Bruh I just said in the last comment.. I have a microtech ultratech which cost me 300, and I have a sog pentagon otf which was 400 and neither of which came in a nice fancy case lol you ever heard of TwoSun knives? They sell quality knives with titanium, cf, and m390. They come in a cardboard box, not sure what your point is

[@kevin6030]

You get what you pay for.

[@richardhenry1969]

You fanboy’s will say anything to justify microtech stealing money for a overpriced knife. Exactly what does a microtech do that this knife can’t do. I bet your one of those clowns that think Chris Reeves knives are the end all be all. It just cracks me up how someone tries to defend a logo or product line.
