Beautiful

[@crystalcactuis.w]

How does this guy upload so much gees

[@metal_complex]

Strict schedule

[@crystalcactuis.w]

I love your vids though the showcase is really awesome

[@dsbiddle]

I can feel how smooth the knife is through the video. Watching that blade drop out when hitting the button was amazing

[@WhatsthePOINT_EDC]

This is a amazing knife and I want it so bad. Honestly I never thought I would find a knife that is this interesting but subtle while super flexing at the same time. This guy can really make a knife! Thanks for the video man.

[@artiet5982]

I would also never go for this aesthetic, but after watching this and getting an idea of the deployment, build quality, etc .. I would LOVE to buy this knife! Amazing tool there. Price isn't that bad for what it seems to be! Wish they were in stock! Also, love that it looks small and has a 3.25" blade!

[@jamesfair9751]

There are plenty in stock now

[@LH_Vagrant]

Way out of my price range and not exactly my style, but boy do I LOVE those thumb studs and that flipper tab; especially the way those thumb studs align with the scales when opened.

[@howler6490]

Stud alignment,decor etc...look great when done with care and attention,as we've just seen. If they're done in a haphazard manner,it doesn't help if it's the best knife ever made,it'll still look like shit! Expensive shit but stil...........

[@mikemcaulay9507]

I actually LOVE this aesthetic. I’m from ‘72 so I was a young teen in the 80s and this really has the angular feel of what was cool then. Add on to that all the excellently implemented features you’re showing and I so want this to be my first big ticket knife. Of course I’m going to give it some time, but it really is so cool. I’ve bought a few “budget” knives to figure out the kind of features and blade types that would actually be a good fit for me and how I use them. Trying to avoid buyers remorse on anything north of $100. :)

[@OzMee]

Love to get my hands on one of these based solely on your reaction. Not totally my aesthetic either but that action looks like baby oil across silk.

[@marshalllaw123]

I’ve got 4 Hobacks now, and they’re all just plain awesome. Amazing designs!

[@yamaboy17]

Do you have a sumo to sell ?

[@marshalllaw123]

@@yamaboy17 don’t own a Sumo... yet.

[@PinkPummy]

Wasn't even aware this existed! Such a cleverly compact design!

Tell The James Brand to take notes

[@hexo4722]

You mean bond

[@bushguy9710]

I hate the James Brand’s prices

[@jamesfair9751]

At least the Barnes that is $600 is made by reate. Still overpriced I believe but it is a quality oem on that one. And it is an integral so maybe not as bad as I initially thought

[@mr.greggt]

Your enthusiasm always makes these videos better

[@ronsnapp7262]

Great seeing another grown man get so excited about a knife. Great video

[@gpearce11]

Now that is a very nice knife. Definitely agree the aesthetics are a bit odd, but it still looks amazing, and that has to be the single smoothest deploying flipper I've ever seen.

[@wooper.5783]

holy moly that sounds and looks so smooth

[@chancecarlton8403]

I love the opening methods and uniqueness.

[@Bear-nu8xm]

I am putting all my knife wants on hold until after i buy this knife! I absolutely, unequivocally love this knife!

[@briant1580]

Sounds about as dumb a statement as I told my buddy lol. I told him I only use my knives to open up other knives that come in the mail. It's rough man lol

[@espmet]

Everything was perfect about this knife for me except the pocket clip. Very hot spot into my palm. A little tweak is all it needs. Bothered me so much, I sent mine back.

[@bjdunne5113]

Agree. Worst feeling clip I've ever encountered. I can't believe this was the final design. He could have done it like the Kwaiback and it would have been fine.

[@Adam-M]

What a badass button lock! I’m 100% in on that. Definitely not my normal style either. But yeah really really cool

[@m1henry]

I love this knife and a huge fan of the maker. I wish it was bigger.

[@KnathansKnives]

Gorgeous blade!😯🔥🔥🔥

[@IAMAMMAFAN]

Flashing the Samarai and now a Sumo knife. I see a pattern developing here. Cool knife for sure.

[@taazen74]

That knife I MUST have. 4 ways of opening. The cutouts in the blade, thumb stud, Flipper and just button open it, as you close it.... FANTASTIC 💖🌈🌠🙏😁👍

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

Wow. That’s a lot nicer than the Gerber Sumo that came out earlier this year. I’m guessing no relation! Thanks for the video. Pretty.

[@BennyBladez-]

I think that is super bad ass! So unique and good looking. If I had the money right now id buy one immediately. It’s futuristic looking with out sacrificing functionality. It looks amazing. I’m gushing as if I’m holding it. I’m sorry but dam that’s beautiful!! Love it! love it! love it! So my style!

[@Hurleytube]

That knife is stupid nice. One day I can hope for something as nice as that. Awesome video as always.

[@philsalvage]

Very cool knife, thx for the sneak peek

[@ryanc5681]

I was interested in this knife now im deff getting it

[@stevewalker6340]

Told my wife that I got my Hoback, now I need a divorce lawyer

[@hoss4876]

😂🤣

[@MrMZaccone]

You wouldn't need a divorce lawyer if you hadn't made the mistake of getting a wife.

[@check1mate1]

Yer better off with the Hoback!

@People’s Voice How much does SHE spend on shoes, fake-up, jewelery, corks etc...??!!??

[@SemperFi_EDC_Guy]

That's a beautiful knife! I need one!

[@jt6648]

Damn nice. Love manual push button locks. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sheepleton]

Phew, that's smooth.

[@jasonwtheriault23]

How does it fit in hand? The handle seems smaller for larger hands???

[@butchcassidy3373]

Love the button lock. I'm not a fan of frame and liner locks. Not real crazy about the blade profile of this knife but I love everything else.

[@bobdicenso584]

That is a beautiful knife it opens smooth very nice like to get one but not for that price thanks for showing us that

[@LeadMunitions]

WOW!! Beautiful!

[@bryanstone7237]

This may have jumped to the top of my list. That new Spartan 3.25" though is I'm the lead at the moment. This thing looks sweet. Love the multiple forms of deployment! Great video, thanks!

[@ryanguldbrandsen7672]

The 3.25" did not impress imo. It's alot of money for a not that great of a knife.

[@jamesfair9751]

The sumo is also designed to pocket open as well

[@IlliniDog01]

Cool design. Silent and Smooth.

[@mrwoodchuck94]

Doesn't look like a hoback but love it, and the ps 23 is for psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.) he does this on all his knifes

@derp derpin just because he names it that isn’t forcing anything on you.

[@armyofshea7941]

You had me at Ps23. I am a PK, so there you go. RIF. Reading is fundamental.

[@markkraus3598]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@metal_complex]

Agreed!

[@Patriot-rising]

See and for me this was one of the knives I had to have. I swear it felt like years had gone by before I received mine. And I prefer this knife over so many I own. I even put my CKF knives away. I will admit though I have a TwoSun that I have fallen for. I go after unique designs. I left traditional knives behind somewhere back in the late 80's. This one is well build and is make by a precisionist as far as I am concerned. Every aspect is well th thought out and executed! Yep this knife is for many people a very expensive knife indeed. But let me add a bit to my last statement and give you something to think about. I have been collecting knives forever. Many knives you order , they come in and are interesting for a little while. This is one knife that will take you so far past ordinary that you will never grow tired of it. It is a worthy investment! I assure you.

[@slo_carry]

What a beautiful knife

[@dtomknivesandgear6635]

That thing is cool!! Wow

[@pennfootball71]

How come you don't see if it is sharp if the edge is a little toothy or polished, shaving or working edge? Paper cut test?

[@dustinkelley7932]

Seems like a really cool knife. Hoback has several models I'd like to try.

[@drewohara6490]

Indeed.

[@viktordaniels5515]

Cool knife tricks

[@dwaynoinsano5053]

Wow that is super 🔥

[@tomahawk5118]

Amazingly innovative.

[@horrse]

I would love having this knife but golly that's one hell of a price tag.

[@jamesfair9751]

It’s also designed to pocket open with the thumb studs press against you pocket and flip it out of your pocket and open

[@9999plato]

That knife is stunning in its quality and if I had not seen it I might not have "Gotten it ". Some things are just so well made that they impress the sh!t out of you. Just looking at a picture wont cut it.

[@Pete_Fish]

Very Cool Piece 😎

[@albertmaglunob8865]

Is your watch a Sumo (Seiko) as well?

[@randyf.9188]

Interesting design for sure.

[@qdp03]

Bought one tonight. I'm thinking I'm going to like this better than the Malibu.

[@NMiller_]

Wow, really nice looking knife. I love the functionality with the -minimalist- sleek nature of it all.

[@njo9966]

What about this knife is minimalist? It seems about as far from minimal as a knife can get.

[@NMiller_]

@@njo9966 I just meant that it was sleek, minimalist probably wasn't the best term (to say the least). It has minimal pokey bits that will tear clothes, fingers, other pocket denizens.

[@panorama4526]

There is nothing minimalistic about this knife, no matter what you want to say. If you call a table a chair, nobody understands you. The knife is a design accident, nothing to get excited about...

[@metal_complex]

Wow... NJO and Panorama, you two need to back up. How about you let him define what he sees in that knife his own way? Both of your responses were ridiculously elitist. Really hard to read. Seriously, get up from your pretend throne once in a while 🤦‍♂️

Is that blade polished or stonewashed. I’m new guys sorry

[@70ksingh]

Almost $700 CDN! Wowsers! Sweet looking knife either way!

[@bjdunne5113]

I'm pretty surprised you didn't talk about the clip as a hotspot. The edge of the clip is quite sharp and slightly angles upwards. I wish he would have used the Kwaiback flat design or even something like on the Begg Bodega. I'm on the verge of returning mine.

[@metal_complex]

Wait for the full review 😉

[@EDCTantoKnives]

Very cool knife, Just needs a Tanto Blade!

[@JesseAdams]

Wow, 550 is not nearly as much as I expected. It looks like more like 700-800 at least looking at it in a video unboxing.

would you be interested in a EOS trident

[@MedievalFolkDance]

Ooo!! Ps23 is ballistic grade. They use it for gun barrels. Nice little flicker, think I'll get me one!
