Yes, It Passed The Spinewhack Test - Vosteed Knives Thunderbird

Spine-Gate was dumb, But I whacked this one anyway. And it passed. Vosteed remains one of the best bang for your buck brands on the market. And the Thunderbird, although it could use a stiffer detent, is a winner in my book.

Keep an eye on future you. He might try to make a move on your wife.

Thanks Kole

Peer pressure is bad mmkay.

[@paullmight42]

[@TristateEDC]

No, That was just the old kizers... Still confused as to the cause.

[@paullmight42]

meh, give it a few months...plunge locks are plunge locks ;)@@TristateEDC

[@FoOkDoOsLe]

I have one of the newer Thunderbirds and I love it. I will say, I prefer the larger size of the older ones but it's not a deal breaker for me. When it arrived, it did have the dreaded lock failure on even the lightest tap but Vosteed was amazing in getting another one out to me ASAP and the new one is rock solid. I'm a hardcore fidgeter and I love these knives.

[@yosemitesam876]

Maurice like knife he think knife cool 'Kole Miner⛏"

[@dougteague8629]

Para 3? Hmm🤔

[@user-Bladewalker]

I love the thunderbird but the price not so much. Big fan of the blade.

[@clintcrosby6337]

That g10 is crazy. Thanks Kole

[@hificat101]

I recently got a premium version of their Nightshade in Elmax and Jade G10. It was $135 and the action is AMAZING. It doesnt drop shut like a guillotine, but has this crazy controled drop that is hard to decribe. Its what I imagine a Herman feels like when it closes. And the factory edge is insane.

[@Marc-Vickers]

The lock fails on mine even after stretching the spring.

[@lord.needham]

Yes to the new outro music.

[@LonestarTaoboy]

Thank you for demonstration of great integrity by showing the solidity of this knife's lock. Those of us considering a purchase benefit greatly from helping us make a decision based on your review of different knives. Based on your recommendation, we are armed with enough information and confidence to make a purchase, or pass if it does not meet all standards. What are the standards: Fit and finish, ergonomics, price, materials, safety and more. I declare the spine whack test valid, and will continue on into the future. This is the way.

[@nolan5032]

How’s the detent? Do you think its too light? Love the vid!

[@TristateEDC]

definitely on the soft side. But it works. probably my only complaint with this one.

[@KevinC_5109]

[@lord.needham]

[@redrebelleader-7495]

I surprised you even took the risk of doing a spine wack test on camera 😅🩸💀

[@theyellowninja2559]

@@redrebelleader-7495 right? I legit just did a spine wack test on my comorant and it disengaged and cut me twice hahaha, he had complete trust in that knife
