With a Name Like Chad, You Know It's Good! - Kunwu Knives Chad Unboxing

The Kunwu knives Chad aside from having the greatest name in knife history, is also an insanely well made, full titanium axis lock knife. With a gorgeous sheepsfoot style blade in PM60 steel, which has been heat treated to an absurd 69 hrc.

[@mikereese15]

Finally someone else who isnt in love with axis locks. Cool knife but i'll stick with my amazing S-tao.

[@mikemclaughlin5255]

Yeah, I’m happy with my Chad but it’s probably the last axis lock I’ll buy. They just aren’t as satisfying.

[@mikereese15]

@@mikemclaughlin5255 Agreed

[@jpolhamus71]

I prefer the padre more

[@williamlenderman387]

Yes @mikereese, I'm pretty well done with axis style locks and the Tao S is at the top of my "really want one of those" list. Just waiting for WMK to get them back in stock.

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

Factsss

[@ogjz6161]

The black blade with carbon fiber is freaking beautiful. Sharp AF

[@2873lonewolf]

Just a little tidbit about PM60. It's a Norway steel, is extremely high wear resistant, tough to sharpen above 68hrc, is not stainless in the slightest and can't lay edge back lower than 15 degrees since it won't support all the carbides(Low edge retention). I really like the S-Tao so the Chad makes me smile just as much.

[@JorDangerous907]

My Carbon Fiber CHAD bit me on the palm within the first minute I had it. Nice KNAF tho. Another outstanding review sir, the best in the business.

[@mikemclaughlin5255]

My only complaint with Kunwu is their shipping from China. I think they strap the knives to a mule and it swims across the Pacific. Then weeks stuck in customs. Sheesh!

[@Mid_Missouri_EDC]

My order shipped on 8/4 and is out for delivery today 8/11.

[@destro6971]

Bad luck then, my Padre took 9 days and my Chad took 10 from when they shipped out.

[@chasesyverud8984]

​@@destro6971how do you like your Padre? I wanted to grab one soon

[@destro6971]

@@chasesyverud8984 it's pretty freaking sweet. Action is great, blade is sexy, and it's easy, fun, and not terrifying to front flip like some knives 😂 No disappointments

[@stevenjoel1234]

I was thinking about picking one up but I’m still loving my WE High-Fin. Maybe in the future who knows. Great unboxing

[@TristateEDC]

I do love the High-Fin 🤌🤌

[@DavidtheFoodie]

You're welcome!

[@joeisabella6811]

She's a beaut Clark!

[@Ward_918]

I have the pulsar and love it. That blade steel is awesome. I have a Spyderco with a K390 blade. I’ve seen tests that show it’s HRC is 66

[@LemmyGitdat]

Thanks Kole!

[@TeeFetch]

intriguing.

[@vucachon]

Love my CHAD!!!!!!

[@fibitabit8423]

I love chad

[@lpknifeworks]

My favorite right now, I have 3 of them, only missing the original diamond, and keep your eyes peeled for a possible Gigachad! Gotta catch em all! Pokechad!

[@TristateEDC]

3!!!?? 🤣🤣

[@Cascade0ne]

Still enjoying my Kunwu Pulsar. Great review and beautiful knife. Just couldn’t drop more$ on another atm..

[@chase_mowka]

Just wondering when we are going to get a Tristate EDC RE 🤔

[@tizben]

Hopefully that heat treat is teal good. Its like 67 hrc

[@tommyl8452]

ive ordered 2 kunwus they're swimming aross the ocean right now.

[@Knive_alive]

All I see with that blade profile is the Seattle Seahawks logo with a giant beak. 😂

[@Pete_Fish]

Thanks Kole 😎

[@AKAB_22]

I'd be terrified of chips. Beautiful knife though

[@Martin.Christopher]

Pretty nice looking knife. I do kinda struggle with the look of their thumb..... deployers? haha. I really want to go in on their Padre.

[@dereksturms3724]

Thats nice! I want in on the padre thoo🔥

[@dkknivesandtools]

I need that one.

[@jesseleep8921]

China won't ship to UK, I'm very sad, but I will look out on Knafsale

[@themahones]

People want to see your face while watching a knife review? 🖖

[@Salamando3D]

So it looks like we have our first meme knife. Good job internet! Next name should be Boaty McBoatface. Or Alpha Giga Chad. Regular Chad just isn't Chad enough these days. I just landed a Benchmade (your fav) Anthem. The spring-loaded Axis Lock on that feels quite a bit different than an omega spring operated one. You can reverse flick it with ease and it feels super solid. It's quite an experience, I have to say. It's 🤌💋 all day.

[@vascularpete]

Gigachad is coming. Full dress Chad in mirror polished zdp-189

[@QuazarCyclone99]

I would get one while there available cause kunwu wont be producing the chad in this configuration again ( heres the quote from kunwu on why the chad wont be made in this configuration again "both you and Kunwu payed the price of waiting, you by paying significantly lower price of the model that after this will not see the light of the day unless its 500 bucks plus")I have one and its badass.

[@crazy-eyewoodguy4489]

I was searching if someone had commented on this. Bought mine on the kick starter also. Glad I did now, you right I don't think the price of these will go anywhere but up! I have the full line of Kunwu's and will probably continue to buy each model. Well until they realize they are way under priced. I think they are figuring it out now with the newest about 100 smackers more.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

I would like to see that in a drop point.

[@TristateEDC]

Check out the Kunwu X-Tao

[@justinmcvay5560]

Your videos are awesome 👍

[@cwalker228]

Call me crazy but I think they should just give me one of these, or at least a deeeep discount. Lol Seriously, jealous you found one for sale. I’d love to score this or an S Tao. Thanks for the video

[@PatDsNutz]

Lol , Chad. That knife may just turn the name Chad around. “That dude is a real Chad” may someday mean cool, sharp and well dressed.

[@paullmight42]

hopefully i'll survive...if the power doesn't go out....or my tree doesn't fall into the neighbor's yard and i have to bust out the chainsaw and then subsequently need a pedialyte drip...

[@beltransanchez5571]

This or the padre?

[@bladebingeofficial]

Chad lol 😆

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

Too bad there's no way to attach a lanyard. If there was you could make it a hanging Chad. I'm an idiot. I'll see myself out.

[@barbarianbraunny]

69 hrc

[@seanmclaughlin3077]

All you that bought one, you suck, cause you didn't leave enough for me!

[@j.m.youngquist419]

I wanna see it cut cardboard.

[@TristateEDC]

It is a cardboard destroyer!

[@lord.needham]

Huh.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

What is the country of origin.

[@TristateEDC]

Manufactured in China

[@j.m.youngquist419]

That knife sure is ugly. I want one.
