We get it. You got a hipster stache. Don’t have to keep caressing it obsessively.

[@TristateEDC]

Well, it keeps going up my nose, So I gotta do something to wrangle it in.

[@ProjeKt_Mayhem]

Just found your channel. Hilarious. I’m in!

[@GrieverVIIIx25x]

I wish Vosteed made a folding kukri. But no. This is a "shilin cutter" blade which is a Chinese/taiwanese blade style or you can even say a "leaf-shaped" blade because it was originally supposedly designed to be like a bamboo leaf. Kukris have a distinct really front heavy recurve styled blade made for chopping

[@FreedomFox1]

I noticed some Shilin blade shapes that are more like a sheepsfoot-wharnie, but with that forward angle. That would give the knife hawkbill-like functionality.

[@corymoore2292]

Of course it’s better than the Bugout. I wish influencers would stop acting like Benchmade makes good knives.

[@sonnyschaak8996]

Amen

[@BE_EDC]

The standard mini is definitely better than the bugout, the premium with carbon fiber and S35VN absolutely demolishes it!!

[@Apex_grind562]

Great channel! Love the logo

[@trevorcrystal520]

Maaaaaan… I have been resisting this since it came out. Now it has to be added to the collection. Damn it!

[@jtg_edc]

I'd take this over any Benchmade everyday.

[@andrewfett142]

👍🏼Very nice have that same version. And 3 regular nightshades:)

[@RaccoonTactical]

asian Shilin blade shape

[@paullmight42]

Thx for the seizure...it had been a while...and I think that's technically a shillin blade shape sir...im not a doctor though

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

This is a true statement. It is in fact lighter than the bugout, cheaper than the bugout, and a lot better than the bugout. It's also better than the hogue deka.

[@mrdoughface]

Is it better than the deka? I've always wanted one of those!

[@colbyvenable8193]

That blade lock up isn’t the only thing solid as a rock “big daddy”

[@matthewhall8790]

It could just be anodized aluminum back spacer.

[@ranman1959]

I bought the S35VN CF version a couple of months ago and love it. It's only $100 and I like it much better than my Bugout.

[@tylorblack3152]

Have you had any problems with the size of it? I mean I’m not a big guy about 5’9 170 wear large size gloves. Just super worried about it feeling dinky. In the hand I usually carry a case russlock or a spyderco pm3. Just wanting to know if it’s one of those that’s small in size but still feels big in hand

[@ranman1959]

@@tylorblack3152 I have medium sized hands, and the Mini Nightshade allows me to still get a four finger grip around the handle. I can also open and close it easily one handed. It is small but just big enough. I don't own a Para 3; the closest knife in size I own is the Spyderco Chaparral. The ergos on the Mini Nightshade are much better than the Chaparral.

[@cybercanal5319]

its alright, I need them to offer their fs nightshades w crossbar lock. literally that's all they need to do. make it in magnacut. done.

[@bladedBear_]

Ebola😂😂😂

[@TristateEDC]

🤣

[@Katodwg]

You keep calling it a "pea shooter"...if it was in Ultem would you call it a "pee shooter"...??

[@trevorcrystal520]

He would have been frothing at the mouth if it was done in Ultem.

[@TristateEDC]

😏😏😏

[@nhblackdc5]

It's a a Schilin cutter, not a kukri.

[@dkknivesandtools]

Just say NO to Benchmade

[@justinmcvay5560]

Arrrrgh I want the mini nightshade oh so bad ever since it came out . Great video and thanks for showing it

[@鄭定翰]

士林刀blade style from TW

[@lord.needham]

Man, I do not like axis lock action. I’m gonna keep it that way. Now,

[@seansmith4183]

You have two of the very best small folders of the year in the Mini Nightshade and the Full Immunity. I love them both. Great video!

[@mikereese15]

I want the little carb9n fiber version. Looks so darn good.

[@jesseleep8921]

Real banger, super useful blade shape

[@PlanCthruZ]

You get me psyched on life dude! I’m coming over to your house, I’m bringing my entire knife collection, and my guitar… Nice review. I’m in!

[@TristateEDC]

🤣🍻🍻🍻

[@sethprice241]

You little pea shootin cutie patootie.😘

[@Civiliansoldier762]

Several variations of kizer original or original XL have replaced my bugout as an EDC. Such better knifes for a fraction of the price.

[@jimmy_Ross]

hello hello big daddy

[@Hungrybird474]

Almost got this a few times

[@dominickgiallombardo2921]

I think the back spacer is aluminum if I’m not mistaken.

[@TristateEDC]

You're correct

[@FoOkDoOsLe]

You are speaking my language! Cheaper and better! I want one!

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

FYI aluminum and stainless steel are not magnetic, so the magnet test doesn't mean it's titanium. Also the backspacer is made from aluminum. It says it directly on vosteed's site: • The dedicated backspacer and the thumb stud are made from 416 aluminum, providing great corrosion resistance.

[@malt2301]

Most stainless steels are magnetic, but not all.

[@Jr-Mz]

Kukri? 🤔🤔 Modified Kukri 😅 I want a Mini NightShade!

[@timtim4525]

a nervous wreck........in motion......great knives...too.

[@onemanhisdub1969]

You aint no short knife guy! 💥🇬🇧

[@codybroadway8496]

Blade shape is a chilin cutter

[@isaiahbarnett9062]

1:41 that's what she said 😭

[@ryandye6242]

I totally agree

[@TeeFetch]

Might add to list.

[@dkknivesandtools]

Have you seen how tiny the Pyrite mini is?

[@TristateEDC]

I have 2 of them ;)

[@mrdoughface]

Too small, and I like small.

[@echosierra9990]

I like the mini pyrite, but it’s a tad too small. It can be a bit difficult to manipulate easily, unless you have small to medium hands. My hands aren’t huge, but I have trouble with the mini pyrite at times.

[@wown_dee]

You are now my new knife review guy. Finally a knife guy I like to listen to and can make me laugh. Awesome thank you!

[@TristateEDC]

Cheers man! Thank you, Stick around Plenty more knafs to fondle.

[@mikemclaughlin5255]

Shilin hoss.

[@TristateEDC]

I only Shill, when the knife deserves it. You know Disssss

[@mikemclaughlin5255]

@@TristateEDCShilin blade goober, not a kukri.

[@TristateEDC]

@@mikemclaughlin5255 Yeah.... I knew that 😏🤣

[@CR_JeepLife]

There is a flaw with this Knife. When you close it and the blade drops, it hits the backspacer. I have a premium carbon version one and it hits the backspacer every time it closes. The Back spacer is also Alum not Ti :)

[@DogshitArgument]

Similar issue with the LTE version of the Terminus XR by SOG, and also one of the Sitivien axis locks that looks inspired by a Sebenza. Feel like it's more common with axis locks for some reason, but I also own plenty other axis locks that don't have this issue.

[@cultyz450f]

Yup, just got a new one, still hits the backspacer.

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

Careful closing it in your palm like that if you have hand fat. It will cut you. Found out the hard way.

[@cultyz450f]

Ok, I own both versions of these. I don’t see at all how this is better than a mini bugout. Granted the mini bugouts, I have are upgraded. Still, the problem with heavy use on these mini nightshades is the detent is weak, also when you push the crossbar down too far, the blade will hit the backspacer. My mini bugouts are bulletproof even with some hard use, this knife, not so much.

[@hificat101]

Isnt that the regular size Nightshade? The mini is REALLY tiny. The regular has like a 3.2 inch blade. And the blade shape is called shilin slicer

[@TristateEDC]

This is the Mini. 🙌
