Holt Bladeworks Haptic in depth review and disassembly

[@dso]

The review part of the knife itself was super helpful, thanks

[@paulmills426]

I actually just traded my Haptic for a couple knives plus a little cash. I loved it but it kinda had some bad ju ju, Joe was kinda shitty with me when I purchased it. The knife was great but I kinda lost some respect for him after the way I was treated. It came with no detent tool and he didn't offer to give me one. He said oh, we don't give the tool with the knife anymore. Basically he went on to say it shouldn't be messed with even though the adjustable detent is supposed to be a feature. It also came with no nice zipper pouch like my slightly cheaper Morphius came with. Lol. I wanted to purchase one but he didn't even offer to sell me one. He was just rude to me for no reason at all. The knife is crazy good though 🔥🔥🔥

Great channel! I love your review process.

[@rgrange180]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

[@spintastic5456]

Did you sell the Haptic or is it still up for sale?

[@codys5727]

You can buy ceramic bearings from their website. They are currently sold out but I didn't notice any change in the action in the haptic from changing to ceramic. Some specters are slightly better with ceramic bearings

Great in-depth review ty.

Love the Version 1 backspace the best!

[@idwolverine1867]

What a grail knife! 🤩

[@rgrange180]

Agreed, it makes me want a Specter really bad now.

[@codys5727]

Also, they were moving into a new shop and put out over 375 haptics from October to February.

[@rgrange180]

Nice, good info. Thank you.

As you were saying “I think they’re all made like this” I was looking at mine in the light like damn man I don’t see the difference in the gap! Lol glad I watched all the way to the end before commenting. Another great vid 👌

[@rgrange180]

Yeah, I've never seen a blade warp right there before. They resolved it though. I still just wish the handle was a tiny bit longer. That's my only real complaint.

[@mikeypolekal7598]

Can you plz tell me the size of the barrels for the backspacer plus the size of the screw in length and size for the back spacer. I have the same kind but I stripped mine -.-

[@rgrange180]

Unfortunately I can't. I sold mine a while back, so I don't have it to reference. I'm sure if you contact Holt they would be able to provide you with replacement parts. They have a contact form on their website.

[@Phiz787]

Its a beautiful knife. And extremely fine precision. But I hate my Morpheus. The blade is thick, and short. It won't cut well. The way it forces you into a 3 finger grip is uncomfortable. And lastly, even though they are in the same country as me, I can't actually contact them because it takes them a month for them to respond. People say you need to join their FB group. But you need to be part of 5 other knife groups first. Such a horrible system.

[@rgrange180]

I agree with you. I no longer have this one. It was a beautiful work of art, but not the most functional knife for me.

[@shaunfarrier9060]

Nice review. Is this blade for sale now ?

[@rgrange180]

I am about to put it up for sale. Are you interested?

[@shaunfarrier9060]

@@rgrange180 Yes. How can I email/message you?

[@josephblair7804]

Do you still have the haptic and still looking to sell it?

[@rgrange180]

Yes, email me if interested. [e-mail]

[@spintastic5456]

Did you sell the Haptic or is it still up for sale?

[@rgrange180]

I have not sold it yet. I put it on ebay and it sold and then the winner didn't pay me. I'm going out of town soon, but I might put it up for sale again when I get back. I'll comment on here before selling it to see if you are still interested.

[@spintastic5456]

@@rgrange180 ok, thank you very much!

[@rgrange180]

I'm thinking I'm about ready to sell my Haptic. You still in the market for one?

@@rgrange180 no thanks. I just bought a Specter.

What voltage color?

From what I've heard, their customer service isn't that great. I've also heard that they've pretty much abandoned their site for their facebook group, so you have to be a member of facebook and their group to even get in on any drops. What a shitty way to run a business. I hate facebook and will never have an account, so the only way I can get one is on the secondary (which I did, picked one up just last week). Why in the world would you limit yourself to facebook for sales? That's just gross. At least open yourself up to Instagram sales! Anyway, I appreciate your perspective and I'm just like you, I carry every knife I buy, even the damn expensive ones. Otherwise it's just a waste of money.
