Great overview Tyler. I ordered one today from ya’ll!

[@Gpknives]

Glad you like it. The Dividend is a great value/performance folder and one of my favorite EDC knives....carrying one right now! Thanks for watching.

[@carlstanland5333]

I got mine today from you guys! 👍

[@Gpknives]

Hope you like it. Thanks for watching!

[@gjpizzo]

Received mine two weeks ago. Love everything about this knife, except came pretty dull out of the box. I can drag perpendicular down my forearm with reasonable pressure without breaking skin

[@Gpknives]

Might be a wire edge from the factory. A few passes on a stone or strop will probably clear that up for you.

[@davidtate166]

I got one last week or so 😎 knive.just something about it.not a boring knive.like mine .

[@Gpknives]

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.

[@johnd9357]

I so wish this could be deassisted like the blur. Perfect work knife.

[@Gpknives]

Still a great work knife with the Assist. Thanks for watching.

[@willywinket]

I just bought one. :D

[@Gpknives]

Thank you for your support. Thanks for watching!

[@yo64yo]

same :D

[@Gabor.Bujdoso]

Great looking knife! Can it be de-assisted? Does it have a detent ball in the liner lock and a detent hole in the blade?

[@Gpknives]

Unfortunately this knife is not able of being de-assisted. Thanks for watching.

[@mattadler4710]

too bad they couldnt make it a hollow, but its understandable given the nature of the blade. I'm sure the cutting geometry is still excellent, but I wonder how much efficiency is lost...or not as it may be. Can anyone speak from experience? really cool knife either way. Would prefer a manual action vs the speedsafe, but again, not such a big deal that it makes the knife undesirable.

[@Gpknives]

I have an M390 version. Cuts like a dream. Probably not as well a hollow though less likely to bind up in the material.

[@aoshijayy7334]

can you swap the scales on this with the m390 version?

[@Gpknives]

They are essentially the same size, but I cannot confirm compatibility. Thanks for watching.

[@aoshijayy7334]

@@Gpknives Well only one way to find out :P

[@fulltangbushcraft6382]

So, how does this compare to the zero tolerance line? I mean comparison on quality

[@Gpknives]

Different materials and build design but quality is comparable. 👍

[@fulltangbushcraft6382]

Thanks for fast reply love the channel!

[@realtalk4real243]

1:48 the composite looks thinner? So it must be more prone to breaking off Edit: yea it broke pretty easily right along the sawtooth pattern when I was prying some plastic. I wouldn't recommend this knife unless you baby it

[@Gpknives]

Never heard of that happening. If you are applying this thin folding knife for its intended use (i.e. cutting) I think you're unlikely to run into any issues with breakage. Thanks for watching.

[@longshanks5531]

That’s a good thing, esp taking advantage of cpm d2’s make up.. finish the edge with a coarse grit finish and you have a very aggressive cutter and slicer

[@skylerbond56]

It's a knife not a pry bar. IDC how expensive or how great the steel is if you pry with it you're gonna risk some breakage. Especially with folders.

[@P.W.R.]

Is this dude really using his knife as a prybar? Bruh! Sure, I don't want a fragile blade either, but knives are for cutting and slicing, not prying. If it broke simply because you were twisting the tip into some plastic, then this sounds like a defect because plastic packaging shouldn't break or chip the blade that easily. Must be defective.

[@AGC828]

Kind of gimicky IMHO. This approach to a `2-steel _ copper`blade. trying to mimic a Japanese style high carbon kitchen knife or sword blade....except JP blades don`t `stack`blade steels....they have a hard steel `wrapped`with a softer steel....funny no one`s made a pocket knife `JP style`...not even the guys making $2000 pocket knives...that I`m aware of... Funny in Canada the only Dividend available is this Comp version...prefer the 20cv. Yet the 20cv Link IS available ùp north`...
