@Reginald Zachariah Instablaster ;)

[@reginaldzachariah4365]

@Rocky Judson thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@reginaldzachariah4365]

@Rocky Judson it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@rockyjudson799]

@Reginald Zachariah no problem xD

[@williamyoung369]

I've had my basic assisted opening one in the black G10 with the bead blasted 8cr13mov for over 6 years. It's a good EDC. Like you said "easy to maintain".

[@ay_yal5217]

100% of Kershaw customers would pay double for this beautiful non-assisted opener if it was made domestically with upgraded steel.

[@bionick4281]

They’re great looking knives, and I love the blue one with CF, and I’m also happy that they’re coming out with versions with ball bearings, BUT, the steel NEEDS to be upgraded to D2 or better on ALL the models!

[@silenthilltim]

I eagerly await the Kershaw Bareknuckle.

[@jerrymillett3895]

Hey been watching ya fer years, thank you for all of your input and humor and all the awesome (and not-so) knives you show. Anyhow now my respect for you is known so no more mushy wind up your skirt praise. I have a TS19 on the way and your bit was just enough to give me the confidence to buy. I can’t wait for it. Sooo glad nonassisted model was made. Changed my opinion on knife also(natrix) Oh I saw the xl is on kvt . I couldn’t find the copper yet.

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks LTK. Strong detents, are nice. I wish Spyderco would learn this.

[@7Steels]

I like assisted opening knives. My favorites are designed by Ken Onion, the Speed Bump. I have all the models of it. I like the feel of the blade popping out with force...very similar to an automatic. I will continue to buy the assisted opening knives 'cos I like them!

[@motorcyclemark2889]

Looked at all the natrix models bought one the XL non assist I liked the blade shape so much I just ordered the bareknuckle last night because it's made in usa with better steel and everything else

[@MOONGOONJOON]

Great looking knives

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

Amazing review video!!!👍😊👍

[@Foxrock321]

I know this was done a year ago, but today my two favs are the Natrix XL CF, and the Bareknuckle..neither speedsafe..yeah! now, up the steel and your good..

[@mikelikesknives428]

I have almost bought the carbon fiber version a few times. The problem is knives like Civivi came out. Better materials for the same price. Thanks for the video.👍

[@darksoulrising99]

Love your videos they're always awesome the one thing I have to say about the nature works is that it's not worth the money unless they figure a way to stop the late lock-up of the subframe lock it's worthless because it will go all the way over and lock the blade open I've had that problem cuz I tried one I bought one of the spring assisted and that's what happened to it that's the major flaw with Kershaw Knives is they have to lay the lock-up on their lower price models

[@swvafarmer]

I have the carbon fiber version, love this knife

[@WesTECH]

Love this little knife. It's a $200 knife for less than $50.

[@mikeprice3064]

I like the design and overall look and d2 would be very wise

[@MrGeerbear]

LTK- Great improvement moving to bearings. Now if they'd just upgrade the steel it would be a real winner.

[@Halfcocked86]

So glad more Natrix are getting bearings, I own 9 different matrix and have two copper d2 on pre order. As you can tell I'm a Natrix fanboy lol

[@orendz7740]

Man I bet that copper is gonna look awesome as it wears in

[@rickkerans8485]

Interesting that they got away from the assisted opening. Great review as usual.

[@NRiggiKnives]

Look pretty good

[@Joe_Blo]

I didn't buy a Natrix because of the G10 frame/handle combo. It's just too weak for my needs. I occasionally open a can of food or pry open large box staples and otherwise use, not abuse, a knife for a tool. My Clash has handled everything without any damage but it's too bulky & heavy to carry in slacks or shorts. The Leek tip is too fragile if dropped on a hard surface or used to twist or pry. So I'm still looking for a new thin & lightweight but sturdy EDC knife. As for the 8CR13MOV steel: It doesn't stay sharp long except when cutting a sandwich in half (as long as you don't cut the paper plate under it). But you can quickly sharpen it on the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup or any old rock laying around with some spit & strop it on cardboard or your denim pant leg. That's handy. You can't do so with higher end steel. Of course, you'll wear the blade down quicker from having to sharpen it, but IMO, a worn down knife has character. I cherish my dad's Case trapper that he wore down on a round stone over many ears skinning bobcats, cougars & deer. I used it when he taught me to skin & before he bought me my own skinning knife, a Queen Steel stockman type. (Which I lost & found often, but eventually lost for good.) But my first real knife was the same as a lot of young boys then: A Barlow from a general store. It was the perfect companion to a Zebco 101 fishing reel and hand-me-down boots.

[@MikeUman]

I would love to have a bigger, D2 version of that blue, and, Carbon Fiber Natrix. A 3.75 - 4 inch blade would be ideal.

[@jerrymillett3895]

That cf blue one is a really sharp (no pun)knife, now that it’s on bearings! Kinda a beaut. The 8cr is getting old, especially for a “higher” priced Kershaw. I mean it sharpens well and fast, but at least go up to a 440c. I mean ganzo has better blades!

[@mrblauer1]

I see a lot of comments on their steel choice, and I agree; but my 1306bw has 3cr13 blade steel, so...

[@WarGrrl3]

A big thank you that said what I've been saying abt the 8crmov steel. The minute I see this steel, I move on to another choice. Kershaw had the 14c28n steel done specifically for their knives then didnt use it. I dont get it. No I don't want the OVERPRICED super steels for my folders cuz I use them as tools, I want something affordable for my folders n 14c28n is it. I can buy folders w 14c28n and even d2 for the same prices as these two Kershaws. I'll wait for the d2 version.

[@orendz7740]

I understand the price point but if they would've went up a tad bit more on price they could've used D2 steel.

[@orendz7740]

Having said that I'll probably still get one. I personally dont mind 8cr

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

Kershaw (Gezundheit!) is absolutely and inexplicably dead-set on 8Cr - and it's so disturbing as to make me commit to NO KERSHAWS EVER no sweat. It's so stupid and SO near the low end of the scale as to make me question their mental competence. It's like putting motorcycle tires on a Maserati!

[@orendz7740]

Is the copper scaled version 8cr?

[@rileyneufeld7001]

@@orendz7740 I think that one is in d2.

8cr13. Is not junk steel The heat treament is the key.some say 420HC is junk steel its not buck uses it.dont rust much .dont be lazy sharpen your knives😔

[@brianf9619]

Hey LTK , does Kershaw give out deep carry pocket clips , if I call and ask , like Benchmade does ?? Does anyone Know ? If not, that's a good thing about the Natrix , it's a great design , I just have way too many 8cr knives in my collection, but I definitely can use the clip for my Launch 6 and my M390 Dividend. I really Hope Kershaw upgrades their steel next year or at least gives the option to on some models , especially their collaberations.

[@j-vtol8547]

Yes, they ship out free replacement clips. Call or use their online warranty form.

[@davidtate166]

I got the ascest.but it dont do any thing for me .a fine knive blade design.i like others.steel not that goog its fair.1428sanvik much better.

[@davidtate166]

I know steel mmm 1428 sanvick be better🥺I like it it's cool 😎.

[@rainmayhem4255]

Why don't you like assisted opening? I have never had assisted so i would like to know. TY

[@SteveKluver]

Well, for one thing. And maybe the main thing? Is that you are not getting a 'pure' folding knife experience, when you have an assist. Also, no real way to get any feedback feel in your hands, when opening. As to if the pivot is working smoothly, and slack free, for example. Kind of like an automatic door opener at a store. You have no idea how heavy that door is, or how easily it opens. Does the door feel gritty, when opening? Does it need some oil or maintenance? No way to know, right? Because it's assisted. Kind of like cheating. Plus, the assist components, are one more thing to go wrong.

[@rainmayhem4255]

@@SteveKluver i see now. I have a auto knife a bear and sons and all i ever did with it was open it and the POS spring broke and now i can't use it till i send it back to them so they can fix it. So i will never buy another auto knife. I didn't know the assisted knives worked off the same concept

[@jerrymillett3895]

RAIN MAYHEM I associate assisted blades with sub par bearings or washers. With good bearings, the knife should fly open just as fast as an assisted. I guess I assume (which I shouldn’t) that they throw the assist on because detent and opening action isn’t good enough to b manual. Plus added weight and complicates internals, not to mention could break. Autos are cool I think. Not so kind to assisted

[@jerrymillett3895]

Steve Kluver very well put man

[@jerrymillett3895]

RAIN MAYHEM Hey bud, I didn’t take the time to read the responses to your question. I hadn’t realized that someone already explained it in a way that you agreed with. Guess I’m just letting you know I wasn’t trying to beat a dead horse. Btw- if the assist breaks you can normally remove it and still have a working knife, or if you don’t want assist you can take it out (but that’s where finding out how good a manual knife it really is comes in play). I never tried to fix an auto. Thanks for letting me blab on.

[@racerx1508]

8cr13mov isn’t that bad tho

[@vudoodaddie]

Pass. I love the design but not so much the steel. Next release in D2 please Kershaw.

[@Ploskkky]

For the price they ask they could definitely improve on the steel. Kershaw seems out of touch with the knife community. I think their sales would improve drastically.

[@magz0394]

You sound like the joker (Heath ledger)

[@Steve_Smith65]

I have the CF version, and I have to say I don't like it at all. For what you pay for it, I think something from TwoSun would be far better value..

[@rustyjocsen5260]

How is the lock? And the ergonomy of the blade? Better than classical droppoint?
