The Deejo 37g Knife: The Most Hipstery of Hipster Knives-Gaining an Edge, Ep. 430

This review actually came by request from my friend Ethan. So, hello Ethan! Second, I realize that I am VERY far from the target demographic for Deejo. However, the French-made knives looked pretty interesting, so I picked one up new from the factory. The value to the knife-buying public is abysmal, unfortunately, as are the ergonomics, plus you get Z40C13 blade steel, which is basically 4Cr13 or 420-series just above 420J2. All for $110 shipped. While this knife may absolutely have artistic merits for hipsters, and is actually very well ground, to the knife-buying public, it’s a curiosity at best.

I have a "naked" version. Around 7 years ago I bought 27g version for around 20 dollars/euros (must have been some discount) current exchange rate. Used that and carried that daily in pant pockets. Unfortunatelly lost it few monts ago. Now i just bought the 37g for around 40 dollars (some "hidden" inventory in a garden shop). Again naked. Perfect for having in the pocket. Light, thin. Perfect for daily activities. And for the prices I get it is perfect. And I am not a hipster. I just dont like heavy things in pockets. And you can open it ona hand just not with a thumb but hold the blade with thumb and index finger. And push the clip with 3rd, 4th finger

I’d imagine it’s a lot cheaper in Europe. Value in the US is very poor.

[@mscislawin]

@@j.w.greenbaum official/most shop prices are also high. Around 80-90 euros. If i did not find that one cheap offer I would not buy it

Just picked one up at Knife Center on sale for $33.00 Screaming deal, I think. 😎

@@scottlowther7698 They look cool. Steel is lousy, but I like it as a looker.

Shout out to any knife wealding hipster, even if your knife looks like a hair clip.

[@j.w.greenbaum]

Good one!

[@hdfeltes]

I like it. I just don't see it surviving a day in my pocket without getting destroyed

[@j.w.greenbaum]

Exactly. It’s honestly too little knife insofar as having too little structure. A hipster that wanted this would probably start banging it up even if it merely shared a pocket with something else. Almost any other knife I can think of would survive that.

Leaving this for the rhythm. Thanks for another interesting and informative upload.

[@j.w.greenbaum]

Thanks very much! I do try!

🤣"my hand is the same as a hipster's hand"🤣Great video, buddy!

[@j.w.greenbaum]

Thanks!!

[@Musicvato1972]

Is it balanced enough to be thrown or what would you recommend ? looking for something durable and discreet...

[@j.w.greenbaum]

No. As for throwing, I have no experience whatsoever. Just that this isn’t particularly durable.

[@mscislawin]

The balance is just at the central screw

[@joshfa5526]

$80+ for 4cr13 LOL

[@j.w.greenbaum]

It’s one of those “I got this so you didn’t have to” deals.
