Video

Great edc and protection of need be too.

I bought this knife a few days ago, i dont like it as much as my ti-lite 4" but i do like it. Thanks for the video, i wouldn't have thought about throwing it at trees or some of the other things but its good knowing that it took the abuse and was still useable.

Прикольно если бы можно было открутить кольцо, прикрутить другое лезвие, накладки, более толстые или тонкие, возможность для кастомизации - всегда востребованное предложение

Great video! The Izula II is one of the best knives I have ever como across. It is a little machine, you can’t chop a tree but other than that is a really tough and capable blade

Also known as the static cord carry

In regards to durability, from watching the 12 ft pound testing which Spyderco does at the factory, the spidey hole does not seem to compromise blade strength whatsoever, as it is literally never the breaking point of the knife. In addition, the ball bearing lock from Spyderco is one of the strongest locks in production right now, and while Benchmade's axis lock is plenty strong as well, IMO durability is a win for the Manix if only slightly. The plastic used in the cage construction also makes it feel cheaper but was chosen for the functionality of decreased wear on the metal components surrounding the cage, prioritizing a long lasting product. Loved the video, fellow Manix maniac

this was a good video. I just got mu 1211 earlier today, I stropped it to a near mirror finish on the bevel. had a few ka-bars in my day but I'm happy I got this one. I went on Kabars website and the 1211 models are only going to be receiving a single stamp on the tang, it no longer has USA 1211 on the tang anymore. Hopefully it makes it more durable. I thought I got a knock-off at first! I'll put some use on it after the "babying" phase!

Got mine today, $57 after tax at house of knives in Alberta. Great review, for the price i figured what the heck, razor sharp out of the box, it'll be a good enough utility knife

I've got an old half serrated one in AUS8A. Absolutely love everything about it. The steel is SO easy to keep screaming sharp with a strop (which is good because a half serrated tanto generally isn't lol) . I've got Spyderco, I've got ZT, I've got Chris Reeve, but I always go back to my Recon 1 tanto when I need a knife and have no idea what sorts of things I might need to cut that day.

review was very well done sir. do you by chance happen to have ocd?

too thin... so i worry about that blade was bended...

Pretty sure it's entirely for fighting and not for any wood work

The Recon 1 Clip Point is definitely one of the best knives I own. I like the 4Max, Lawman and the Aus10 verdict, but if I could only grab one it would probably be the recon.

I had older clip point, but my 23 old grandson really wanted it. So being a great popa I gave it to him. I missed it so much I bought the spear point. I haven't showed him yet, he will probably poop himself. But he will get it when I'm dead, lucky him.

FWIW, I live in the great state of Tennessee and my knife is most definitely a weapon.

Folder in your pocket, fix in your backpack

Doesn’t hold an Edge at all ! Use once then you have to sharpen

Hey, great review. Im living in the same area. How did the knife hold up rust-wise?

for me it will be laying on my nightstand

its only good for one thing but its oh so good for that one thing

Does it come with the chain included ?

I'd like to see you do a video on military folding knives

Hi thanks for your review do you think there is room to drill a hole for a lanyard ?

Just ordered one and the mini version in aus8. Super excited

Nah, you struck out on this one. The Guardian 3 is better than the Izula.

Apocalypse knife folder AD10

I've got a standard g-10 model and a lightweight in m4 steel both fantastic knives

I lanyard would make it a safe thruster.

I absolutely LOVE the Manix 2!!! I have 3 so far, S100V, S30V and the BladeHQ exclusive CPM-M4 mint green LW and if Spyderco would get up off the asses and drop the Manix 2 “Cru-Carta” Cruwear I’d have 4-5 Spyderco Manix 2’s, but all I see from every knife seller is “coming soon” and “coming soon” has come and gone and they need to get to work dropping the damn knife.

I'm going to be the odd duck here and from the size of those blades you might aas well be carrying a plain pocket knife such as a barlow or schrade ot oldtimer. those small blades are what us old guys call apple peelers or whittling knives. In self defense scenarios who want to spend time trying to carve small chunks out of an attacker and risk being harmed worse in the long run. Granted they have their uses but that is about all they have. In the end what you decide to carry is your choice and whatever happens you have to live with.

Clip point n 1 tanto n 2

Il tanto se consumata tutta ka pancia da buttare meglio il v clip point o pteso clup point e tanto e poket busmano 70 65 50 3 carramTi il pou odioso e il tanto affilare e un dito 9n kulo 😮😮😮

Guardian 3.5 high saber grind is my favourite! Made my own Kydex sheats for it: neck, belt pocket carry 😃

Is a folder fine for just slf defense? Is it reliable or should i get a fixed blade? Again strictly for self defense edc

Agreed ! This knife is awsome, maybe the best user I own, M4 is awsome of course, but the form factor, the ergo, the silky smooth G10, aesthetics, all concord to do a great knife. It's a little thick in the pocket but it's the only edc size knife I own that fill my size 13 hand. Nowadays, when I spend over 200, I want titanium, but I will never regret buying my 250 super freak !

No one is talking about Toor knives, I'm unsure why. Just ordered the heavy metal jank shank wharncliffe because it looks awesome, getting another jank shank s if it turns out I like their m4. Great steel.

I rocked the S30v w/ G10 version for a year before picking up the lightweight (DLC) M4 version. The lightweight body is probably way better for EDC, though it remains to be seen about the steel itself. I figure the coating will help.

Nice video-subscribed! I’ve handled a Winkler RnD and machining/finish is excellent. I wish I had the opportunity to test it on a flesh-and-bone-like target-concerned chopping blade might be prone to “hang up” on extraction-only testing will tell. Full disclosure-I make modern spike tomahawks streamlined for comfortable everyday carry and combatives. I was mentored by Jack Vargo (RIP), who wrote the book on spike tomahawks. I like the design aesthetics of the RnD, but the rear spike is too tiny. When you throw in the “hump” on the back of the handle, the spike’s effective length shrinks even more. A longer spike opens up a lot more options in combatives, as well as utility applications. Also the weight is north of 20 ounces. To me, it felt pretty sluggish in the hand. It only feels “lively” next to other similarly overweight tomahawks. Most historic spike tomahawks weighed 8-10 ounces, head and handle-blindingly fast and very nimble. Lighter than a Kabar knife. Also the carry system is set up for either chest rig or outside the waistband. That’s common for most tomahawks on the market, but has issues. I have had customers who carried similar full tang tomahawks in these “open carry” set ups, having problems with the protruding handle catching on things. One Canadian customer was wearing his on the torso, slipped in the snow and fell down a hill and his body weight drove the handle hard against his chest-the pain was so great he thought he’d fractured a rib. Tomahawk carry is safer is the axe is streamlined to the body-think handle tucked inside the waistband, or axe head under armpit, handle dangling under arm and under a covering garment. But underarm carry is dangerous with the one-piece “pull down” sheaths-way before I designed my own tomahawks, I tried carrying an American Tomahawk company VTAC in a custom shoulder rig. It worked most of the time, but once I raked the chopping blade thru my love handle-thankfully the back hair covers the scars. A two piece carry system is a lot safer for underarm carry. Hard to explain in comments, but we did a video showing how it works. I suspect an after market carry system could be made for the Winkler that may resolve issues with the current set up.

You say it’s small, you were showing huge knives that nobody wants. As a real worker you want small in your pocket. When you work hard you don’t want big you want small the Osborne is a strong knife not really the sharpest but a strong knife

why dont you wave your hands around a little more

those cheap garberg sheaths are awesome. you can clip it right on your muck boot. perfect positioning

Bradford Guardian3 or 3.5 is better, better steel, just better.

My 555 is one of my favorites and the most used folder, but my spyderco Rock jumper is a runner-up 🤷🏽

They put on Teflon washers cause some people don't take their knives apart to clean and do maintenance on them and some people don't know that can be done. So the knife will still perform for the ignorant people.

I like the way the current recon looks but it would be neat if Cold Steel kept the OG recon in production at the same time.
