@i8lvm_1738 I'm pretty sure he got an fn ak case hardened 670 or 321 with 4x harp of war if he hasnt sold it. the stickers cost ca 1400-1100 usd pr sticker and because they are applied you would only look at around 35% of the original price. The ak in it self costs around 10k usd for the 321 and 25-27k for the 670. I can't remember which of the patterns he got.

The falchion knife is based on the Cold Steel Espada knife. It's known as the strongest utility knife on the market, the tri-ad lock being able to withstand over 300 pounds without the lock breaking.

[@axytsy]

[@Barack_Obamna]

What is blud yapping about

[@Darkyells]

As an avid balisong flipper (butterfly knife) I gotta say your description is on point, I had a CS:GO butterfly in real life once, but it was Impossible to flip properly, it was very handle heavy, the curvature of the handles makes advanced tricks very hard, and the resting position is more closed, thereby making aerials an easy way to cut your fingers :P

[@dinosharttt]

That’s why I hate the butterfly knife everyone else thinks it’s the best in the game and I think it’s at Navaja level

[@peteg22397]

The Falchion knife is based on an actual knife called the Cold Steel Espada. It's a backlock mechanism, not a liner lock like he said.

[@bbboss8532]

Was hoping someone would say this

[@chipe420]

I came here to say this, except it's not a backlock mechanism (though it looks like one), it is their own proprietary lock called the Tri-Ad lock, which is one of the strongest locking mechanisms for any folding knife. (I own one lol)

[@peteg22397]

@@chipe420 you're right, but as far as I'm concerned, a Triad lock is just a modified backlock, like how Spyderco's compression lock is just a modified linerlock

[@kellykeegan2608]

​@@peteg22397 from personal experience with triad locks and regular lock backs, traid locks stay tight where as normal lock backs are more susceptible to developing wiggle over time.

[@matchesburn]

@@chipe420 A Tri-Ad lock is simply a lockback with a stop-pin locking face. If you took the stop-pin out of your Cold Steel (which, by the way, don't do that) it would be, by definition, a lockback knife.

[@freshdani300]

I hope there is a part 2 with the rest of the knifes, vid is well edited and the Expert is such a nice person. Keep it up

[@Joobe2269]

Wait even the guy who makes knives irl hate the falchion. Rip to my falchion enjoyers out there

[@jahmez]

For real, RIP

[@evanward9739]

hes completely wrong about it being a liner lock the falchion is pretty much a 1:1 of the cold steel extra large espada which uses a different style of lock that is stronger than the steel around it and will not break unless the blade itsself snaps

[@HI54U]

This was so refreshing to watch. Love that he was very open-minded in terms of pricing and design instead of the classic “ThEy PaY tHaT mUcH fOr PixEls”. He seemed to understand that collecting virtual knives can be just as much a hobby as making real knives. Also loved the how he said “not my cup of tea, but to each their own”. Shows respect to other opinions. Great content, please do more ❤

[@Fl0yd-]

That windy walk line triggered something in my brain, I heard it millions of times before yet never bothered to notice it.

[@Hinem0N]

They should have used vanilla knives for guesing the price because he obviously isn't aware of rarity and popularity of the finishes

[@CSGhostAnimation]

The interesting part is that this man, whether he knows it or not, is affecting the prices of these knives by talking about them.

[@DavidSantosManuel]

Heyyyy its the cs stick dudee hiii

[@13H]

I'm surprised that he didn't recognize the classic knife as it was a real life titanium knife made for a show. I believe Gabe being a knife fan himself, he got the idea of the knife from the show.

[@brandon_crow1291]

He also called a lock back (triad lock but same shit) a liner lock.

[@emmettjenkins6122]

[@glizzy2236]

Them flash bangs was too much lol I literally turned my phone away every time 🤣

[@MaxxerOfPepsi]

I love the knife expert guy, he's very honest in his opinion and open to blade finishes that only really exist in-game and he also doesn't seem too bothered with the price of some of these in-game which kinda suprised me since not alot of people understand that the cs:go skins are set by the people who buy them and not the company that makes the game and there's some cases were these knives get super expensive cause they are incredibly rare and sought after by collectors that have a stacked bank account. Overall 10/10 video, would love to see part 2 of this were he reacts to more knifes from the game. Im especially curious about his thoughts on the Huntsman knife.

[@skadoodskadad316]

15:25 Hey, that's me flipping!

[@JazztinCaine]

HOLY HAHAHAH, That's really funny, The part where he throw a flashbang while using a karambit ruby, after that flash occur the ad literally popped up lmao.

[@SouveraineMiaa]

the little "push" thingy on the back of the karambit is a glass breaker. Commonly saw on cheap knives that try to look tactical / survival in most cases it can't break shit. But on good manufacture knives made out of refined materials with good craftmanship and engineering just a tiny bit sticking out like that is enough to completely shatter glass or car windows etc

[@thesodomeister2938]

The falchion is based on the Cold Steel Espada. Both ingame and in real life, the knife is a backlock with Cold Steel's Triad design. I don't know why he says it's a liner lock. Recurves are also very useful. During a cut, the recurve helps pull the material to the center of the blade and prevent slippage. They can also be sharpened just as well as any other part of the blade if you know what you're doing. Use ceramic rods or gouge stones and it's just as easy as sharpening a straight or bellied edge.

[@VMC_Boy]

I thought I had seen a similar cold steel before. Thats the one.

[@nimbus1r]

Love the highlighting in red! Subtle and effecting

[@stuntmantequila]

The bayonet in real life is a Phrobis M9 bayonet, the Falchion is actually a Cold steel Espada and is not a liner lock it actually has a tri-ad locking system. There is a whole lot to this you can google yourself but the point is the locking mechanism is extremely strong

[@dechidechidechi]

would love to see another one of these with kevin with the rest of the csgo knives!

[@jahmez]

Will do!

[@AlouetteTV]

Such a cool and interesting video after playing CS for 9 years

[@justmavi7999]

The flashbang transition is a cool idea. Might have been nice to smooth the tinnitus sound though.

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

Id love to see this guy react to the various TF2 knives from Spy and Sniper, and see how distinctly recognizable each knife is, despite the stylization. Also to be fair to him on the Karambit, he was thinking of how it functioned, but since every knife in CS works the same, only aestetics matters, hence why the price was so high.

[@frassefrostis]

Cool video to see an expert reacting to CS:GO knives. The prices in CS:GO depends more on the animations of the knife and how the finish looks, not the reality of it. I Understand that both my knives isn't that realistic in their looks but they are appealing in game.

[@SaltSpirits]

hear me out, but the tip on the back of the karambit could theoretically be used to break glass in an emergency without risking damage to the blade itself, which actually makes it quite a good choice for an emergency situation when youre unsure what you may encounter

[@rtgMTB]

that was very cheeky breeki of you

Probably a bit late, but CS uses a funny mix of custom made high end makers and mass market knives. The classic knife is based on the Mick Strider Badlands Bowie and still has that weird gimping past the guard
