This Is Now My New Favorite Herman The Dragonfly

[@steffwo]

Herman Knives is my new favourite knife company. In theory. I feel, if i ever could afford one of these knives, it would put a final end to my search of The Perfect Knife.

[@jordanpadover7849]

There is no end unless you make it happen

[@richardhansen1628]

I have 3 Herman knives: the Sting, the Dragonfly and the Mantis. They are all very very nice, but it was the Shirogorov Quantum that ended the search for me, sort of.

[@ix8750]

​@@richardhansen1628 haha dude your search ain't over let it sink in that you're commenting this on knife videos on KZbin!

[@DubsMcDubberson]

Hahaha the do-rey-mi of Hermans! Someone should make an edit to where you're playing different songs with your collection 😂 Great vid, such amazing knives hope to own one some day. Cheers Jerad

[@TheYeezyK]

I can only afford the Spyderco dragonfly lol

[@willb7713]

I've been fortunate to handle 4 Herman Knives and they all had excellent detent.

[@theAwakenedOne007]

That is a crazy amount of money for a pocket knife.

[@TheWheezer-lj4cp]

Thank you Jerad for your expertise. Joined the community. KO3 delivery 7-15. Sharpen on!

[@tmille10]

Bang ❗️ that lockup and thwack is doing it for me…😅

[@wojciechk50]

A really beautiful collection :)

[@chrisgonzales1615]

Wow, in my wildest dreams.

[@gologulug1295]

I must say I loved the classic handwritten Herman logo much better, it looked so exquisite, less technical and did fit these awesome knives so well...

[@RR-pv4mc]

Im confused, which are you favorite in order of best to least please?? Thank you!! Great review!!!

[@NeevesKnives]

@RR-pv4mc my favorite atm is The Dragonfly and SLIM then Ishtar then sting and so on, I haven't tried the Vespertillo yet tho

[@lando8913]

Kara: Turtles! Jared: Dragonflys!

[@StonesAndStrops79YT]

Hey Jared just wondering when can we buy your knife manufactured by reate???

[@NeevesKnives]

On the neevesknifeco site in about 3 months

[@StonesAndStrops79YT]

Ok thanks how much will it cost i will probably be interested

[@NeevesKnives]

@@StonesAndStrops79YT around 300 the dlc will be slightly more and plain slightly lower

[@davidbernard9011]

That is a beauty. I just ordered a Ishtar. Looking forward to it. Does the Dragonfly run around the same price?

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes it does just depends on which version or options you get but yes, you have a banger knife otw. Be prepared to ruine your opinion on what a good detent is

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I like the black one a lot, the big one would be my preferred choice. Funny enough I like the shape of the one you like the least, the most, but I understand why you think that. Small details are all that separate them.

[@NeevesKnives]

I did to, buy to me on that decision it wasn't about shape it was about other details. I think you would come to same conclusion

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

@@NeevesKnives yeah no doubt, just from a looks perspective I like it the most. I think the large one would be my favorite as well.

[@colecolburn4169]

When you say secondary market what/where do you mean?

[@wes.killed.it.5511]

The secondary market is the after-market, market. Though it's not always the case, it usually means when you buy knives that have already been owned/carried/used by another party; also, anything not bought directly from a company or retailer and is usually purchased from a collector selling a knife/scales/pocket clip on knife swap/blade binge/Ebay to another collector. The secondary market can also be companies that produce and sell after market parts for certain knife models (scales, pocket-clip/backspacer sets), that have no affiliation with that particular company.

[@ix8750]

Maybe someday, I currently have a modest knife collection with 2 knives valued around 1k$ and I feel insanely blessed. I cant bring myself to buy a herman though, maybe if I survive long enough to retire.

[@ge-8135]

I'll stick with my Sencut Sanche, lol.

[@rasmusjuul3004]

Just received my Dragonfly today. Was a actually a bit disappointed with the sharpness. My sting was way sharper. This one actually catches a bit wven just slicing paper

[@NeevesKnives]

Really! Try giving it a very light pass on ceramic or strop it probably has a bit off burr still attached

[@MarkSchmidt-w6s]

My favorite animal is the Liger.

[@connorw1494]

Hey I wanted to ask you about an issue I am having with my brand new Herman dragonfly. After a day of playing with it I noticed the action had become gritty or bumpy so I took it apart and cleaned it. I noticed the hardened washers had little chips in them, both of them. The chips didn’t seem to be where the bearing balls were in contact with them. I also noticed that the bearing sockets where the ceramic balls are surrounded by the bronze were very rough and almost sharp to the touch. Long story short the action is still bumpy after cleaning. Do any of your Herman’s have this and if so did it work itself out?

[@whitpatrick5479]

The first thing I do with a new knife is baton an oak split. Then I cut through some exotic synthetic line. Pretty just doesn’t do it.

[@jasonlong2584]

Been looking and waiting to pick one up but it seems he doesn’t ever make many or I miss out constantly. Slim,micros,ishtars all the time but never dragonfly

[@DonFarmer-sh7ml]

Dude, stop Bogarting those Hermans😎

[@justthetipedc7835]

The paper towel cut 🥵🥵🥵gAAADDaaMM

[@dustinwhitt5297]

Herman knives are absolutely gorgeous pieces of functional art, but my one and only complaint about his designs are the lack of sharpening choils. If he did that and added some thumb studs, I would be all over that. He pays attention to tiny details most don't but the one negative is too much for me to spend that kind of money.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah same here can't win them all.

[@tmille10]

Damn J Rad 🤩 Daddy Likey! That’s gorgeous and functional I imagine.

[@knifelore1647]

That's sweet!

[@cemetarygates2800]

Sure....after my mortgage is paid in full.

[@timtitus2532]

Sweet

[@goodnessgraciousitellya5004]

I want.

[@drinkwater1776]

Awesome

[@Thizlamic]

DAMN what a beast!

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Beautiful pieces for sure, too much to buy though. You can absolutely tell the quality just from a video, you don’t see flipping action like that ever. Even on some of the best production knives out there.

[@zbaird3]

But is it as Good as the Misdemeanor

[@NeevesKnives]

Well, hell

[@mosab643]

Did you pay for any of them?

[@darkbrain4211]

I can almost guarantee that he paid retail for that one. I doubt Herman sends out any freebies for review. No need, as they sell out of everything they make.

[@mosab643]

@@darkbrain4211 I think it is Polish Custom Knives who sends them.

[@darkbrain4211]

@@mosab643 Yes, you are correct. My point is, i don't think they need to promo or hype their ultra-premium line. It sells itself.

[@HollywoodEDC]

I have Demkos that CRACK when I open them too, but guess what. They don't cost 1200$ I'm sorry, but Hermin and Oz Machine Factory are HIGHLY overrated. I could lump brown into that category too. HOWEVER, HOLT and ROBJOHNSON and SKIFF ARE 100% WORTH THEIR PRICE TAG. Because their milling and actual product quality is MUCH higher.

[@kylehudson1395]

Sounds like a holt

[@ADSUPINTHIS]

Jerad, when's your misdemeanor dropping?

[@NeevesKnives]

About 3 months

[@cheezerpp]

Don't do these clickbaity titles and thumbnails, Please don't. No one likes them.

[@NeevesKnives]

Where's the click bait? You literally got exactly what the thumbnail and title gave you.

[@cheezerpp]

@@NeevesKnives The thumbnail and title gave me nothing, really. No make, no model, no knife type, no topic of discussion, no theme for multiple knives (eg. best under $100)... only that it was your new favorite from a mystery maker. I knew nothing coming into the video other than the fact that you like a knife. It's a tease that compels the user to click and watch the video to find out the answer, ie. clickbait. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

[@chuckgt7715]

For sure a super nice knife, but it’s kind of boring

[@billycarr7446]

Folding steak knife like a Shirogorov. Maybe not sexy but bet it sure feels great in the dark. I love that sound!
