Hi James, I just ordered one of these on your website, they still say presale. I'm in the UK, are they being shipped yet?
@@dancuk1975 hi Dan, we're expecting them to be delivered between mon-wed next week, so technically it's still Pre-sale, but their due very soon. Regards James
@@twistedassisted3474 thanks for the reply James, knife looks great btw. My first EDC knife, can’t wait 😀no rush btw 😂
How much pressure needed to close it? Is it light like the Junzi? Thanks
@@mrlopes1234 similar I'd say, both have fairly light back springs, not as light as a ukpk though. And it's miles harder than closing a double detent flipper.
@@twistedassisted3474thanks buddy. It’s a lovely looking😊 knife. Great job 👏🏼
@@twistedassisted3474just ordered a blacked out one 🎉. When can I expect it to be shipped?
I noticed on some other videos, the blade is measured at about 7.7cm and some sites list it as 3.03 inches. Is this the same model or has it been ever so slightly shrunk to get under 3 inches? I know the law says "cutting edge" but I like something that can ensure I won't be booking myself a court date. 😅
I measured the cutting edge at 7.3 which is under 3"
@@ShadowSmelt Phew, great. Mine is arriving tomorrow so I'll double check, but that's good to hear. I was previously very confident about carrying the boker plus xs, but now I'm not sure that judges will be reasonable. The cutting edge is the cutting edge, and it would be ridiculous for parliament to write a law that plainly means something, have people follow that law, then have judges decide to change the meaning on the fly, simply because ambiguous edge cases might create too much work for courts.
@@duuuuval7931 yeah it's under 3", this is the 3rd production run, so maybe they eased down the length a tad.
When ordering from you, do you ship with discreet packaging, or is it obvious there's a knife inside? Heinnie always puts big stickers on the package saying there's a blade inside. I'm a collector, and it's always a bit annoying getting dodgy looks from people handling my packages, so I prefer some privacy. Thanks.
yes its discreet
Don't worry - nobody will think it's a knife. It comes in a parcel with "Love Honey" printed in massive letters. The parcel is also shaped like a dildo.
@@lornelorne5727 we're very discreet here. 🤫
Has noone noticed rgat a d2 and g-10 knife is 79 bps? WHY. In the u.s youre looking at a $30-$40 knife. (23-31bps)
There's plenty of G10 and D2 knives on knife center for 100 usd or more
@@dougbrown7150 it all depends on the factory, believe me there's D2 & G10 and then there's D2 & G10
This was an awesome video, thank you! Subscribed!
@@TacticalLlamaEDC thank you! It was the best I could do with the kids having a riot in the background 🙏
I like that blade style. It reminds me of the Canadian "leaf" bladed knives. I really like the colorful handle on one of them.
@@grumpyoldwizard I agree the blade profile although technically a drop point, is very different indeed!
Surely this would be classed as a flick knife? As you can push the tab/button on the back and the blade swings out using centrifugal force/ gravity; Making it not uk legal. Would it not need more friction so you cant flick it out. I dont mean to hate im just genuinely confused over the ambiguity of uk law. Great design tho ill definitely pick one up.
@@CDXRK good question, we've had legal advice on this before selling them. It's not covered under the banned knives laws as there is no spring or mechanism propelling the blade out. If you think about it any knife in the world with the pivot slackened off will drop open with gravity. The UK knife law is deliberately grey on this area, so certain criminals can be prosecuted. The law abiding have nothing to worry about.
@@twistedassisted3474 oh excellent, I've had a few I've not been carrying just incase, others I've tightened the pivots and removed bearings but having heard that I'll keep my eyes peeled for more. once again great knife, great products and excellent customer service. Thank you for Ur speedy reply 👍🏻
@@CDXRK if you live in a city with alot of knife crime, it may be wise to adjust what you carry to be more sheeple friendly, traditional slipjoint etc.
@@twistedassisted3474 I'll keep it in mind for sure! Im from out in the sticks but I carry a civivi elementum utility with the lock disabled and washers so it's a slow open. I haven't had any odd looks yet, touch wood. Shame there's so many sheeple. If only people could see the artistic side of it 🤷🏻♂️. The few spoilt it for the many.
❤👌👍🤙
Thank you for showing us these,, I think that Damascus G10 looks fantastic,, 👍👌😀
Love the shape 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Wicked stuff bro
Agreed brother it's a really unique shape 🤌
2 ordered
Like a boss! 💪
Yes glad you did this video ! I ordered the Damascus one. I was literally checking the website everyday haha
Well played! Reckon that's my favourite
@@SAXONgaming357 I was really tempted by the Damascus scales, but all my TA’s are blackout so instinctively bought that one. Although the Mandu doesn’t have their logo anyway… Maybe I made the wrong choice. Or need to buy both!
@TheStageofHistory I wasn't expecting the Damascus design but jumped onit straight away. Kinda remindes me of a African design 🤔
@@SAXONgaming357I defo know what you mean. I love to get one just to put it on a stand on a shelf!
@TheStageofHistory have a shelf full of Blacked out TAs 🤷 .. it wouldn't be a bad thing. I'm to tempted and undisciplined to keep such uniformity lol I'm like a magpie for colour 😅. You could have a uk legal john wick of sorts
Order is in… Blackout G10, of course! Shame you’re not laser-engraving the TA logo, though 😢
Many thanks 🙏 we were too late to the game for this run, however we'd love to collaborate on something in the future with Trollsky knives 😊
Nice, I was going to buy the Junzi but now see that you have this on offer. I wonder, is the Junzi still technically the better and more expensive knife? Also just had a look at your site but they are up on presale for 49.99 now.
Hi William, the spec is certainly comparable to the Junzi, same steel, made by a different factory. The Junzi do cost more to make, hence the difference in price. Just weigh up the subtle differences and make a judgement call as to whether it makes a big enough difference to you.
These look great. When are they shipping?
@@benh715thanks! The production run is expected mid August.
Just been on ya website but never saw these…….. brb
@@markdearness they have been made, we're expecting them to be delivered any day. As soon as they're here we'll add them to the website.
Very nice, very, very nice, indeed. I feel another purchase on the horizon.
Roughly when ? Like "weeks" or "months" ?.. Excited for another flipper! .. Mini Dundee as been my favourite atm !
@@SAXONgaming357 they're en route from Poland now 😁 not long glad you like the mini dundee 😊
Just Ordered the Damascus one 😂😍@twistedassisted3474
I like the action a lot nice, very back flipper. Will you make this in a thinner blade profile shape? Looking forward to getting the atlas when it is ready.
When are they due to be posted out?
@@Mik-H we're being updated by the factory tomorrow and we'll let you know
Nice knife bro 🙌🏻🙌🏻🐲💜🖤
Carbon Fibre option? At this rate you’d be able to shell a Lambo in the amount of CF scales I’m waiting for to custom my TA knifes!
@@TheStageofHistory 😆 we have G10, an interesting G10 'damascus' and Micarta only on these
On mine, on the side face down when flipping, a bit of the DLC seems to have worn away, perhaps from the extra friction against the liners on that side. Is that normal or expected? I've tried cleaning it a bit in case it's just a bit of the liner material getting embedded in the DLC. I'm surprised because I noticed it after less than a week.
Nice. I'll have black blade with red handle and orange handles hehe.
Hey James 👊🏼 The Mandu rocks 💪🏼 I'd love to review that puppy! Have a great weekend 😎 and thanks for sharing, ATB Gus 👍🏻 🇬🇧 COM'ON TEAM GB 🇬🇧
I have the Boker /Wiha stubby multi bit driver, and it's my "go to" torx driver, it's fantastic value for money, Unfortunately, I've recently moved house, and I can't find the pesky thing,, 🤣🤣🤣
I've just got the black and jade version, unfortunately the pocket clip was way too tight, almost impossible to get in and out of my pocket,, so I removed it, and tried to bend it a little,, unfortunately it just snapped across the screw holes,, 😱,, so I've just had to order a replacement clip from you, (HH didn't want to send me a "goodwill gesture" replacement, 😢) So, hopefully , I'll be able to carry it everywhere soon,, 👍👍 ps, your shipping charges are a bit much for such a tiny object,, 😱
@@John..18 hi John, I wish you'd have dropped me an email or WhatsApp msg, we'd have comped you a clip. Our shipping charges is a flat £4.99, so if you're buying something small and inexpensive it's not very economical. We offer free shipping over £30, and in honesty 90% of our orders are over £30 and we cover the shipping. I took the liberty of including £3 worth of TA stickers in your parcel, I hope it arrives tomorrow 🙏 next time just email me at twistedassisted@outlook.com and we'll fix you up. PS I'll generate a discount code for you for £10 for a future purchase, all the best. James
Hello James! The Atlas looks really. I like the combination of the angular/edgy handle and curve of the blade. I don’t have large hands but will appreciate the larger handle, hate that insecure feeling when a handle is a touch too short. Ordered a PVD black micarta one, can’t wait for it to arrive!
@@MichaelB2L Hi Michael, thank you for your thoughts on the Atlas, I'm very pleased you like it! 🙏
Nearly got one at the show, wish I had,, 😢
Can you EDC this, I know its not designed to be used as a weapon but the finger ring could make it fall in the knuckleduster law. "A knuckleduster, that is, a band of metal or other hard material worn on one or more fingers"
@@joeht1586 I certainly EDC it, I have blunted the pry edge a bit to be on the safe side. Remember, anything you carry can be termed an offensive weapon, if the police have evidence of your intent to misuse it. A heavy pair of metal scissors have more in common with a trench knife than anything else, however if your intent is to use them for their intended purpose then they aren't an offensive weapon, but a tool you're entitled to carry. So if you're found to be carrying a BAR-KEEP after a football match, where there's violence, then expect to get into trouble. Even a sub 3 inch non locking knife (which you're entitled to carry without a reason in UK law) can be termed an offensive weapon if you say you're carrying it for self defense. Use good judgement, act like a gentleman and you'll be treated with deference, misbehave or be irresponsible and you'll be arrested for carrying a plastic spoon.
@@twistedassisted3474 yes we refined gentlemen have nothing to worry about, it is the usual suspects that do.
Heya James, I was wondering what you would say the pull strength on the atlas is compared to the junzi?
@@_justaaxedude7074 Hi, I'd describe the Junzi as a light pull, as is the Atlas, however the ergonomics on the thumb stud are slightly different, so this may influence the experience. I'd still describe the Atlas pull strength as light though. Hope this helps! J
What’s the blade thickness compared to the junzi?
@@_justaaxedude7074 the Atlas is fractionally thinner at the spine, the Junzi is 3mm, the Atlas is 2.8mm finished thickness.
Soon.........
Swish bro 👍🏻 Excellent that you are bringing out copper and brass scales. Need that in my life! Haha 👊🏻🐲💜🖤
Oooooosh 🤘🏻 Super cool bro!! Take my money 💰💰💰 haha
You’ve been coiled like a cobra for a while and now you’re striking out like mad mate. 👍❤️👊🤟
Shame there is no full size finger choil like the Junzi, especially when there is no half stop either. 😕
@@BeastAvenger the index finger still fits in there fine when you choke up more detail or heavier work. I've never really considered a half stop to possess any safety benefits 🤔 it won't stop or impede the blade in any way if it's about to close on you.
I agree. No finger choil and no half stop is a bit dodgy. I much prefer having those.
Looks good! You forgot to do the comparison to the junzi tho🤦🏻♂️🤔😪🤷🏻♂️😂 Still need to do my abalone scales for the junzi,got some spare for the dundee i got a couple of weeks ago,and now it looks like I'm going to have to get+make some more.....👀😑🤷🏻♂️😂💜
@@makaveliuk86 aye I did, I had kids in the paddling pool fighting at the time, if you listen closely you can hear the gits in the background 😆 oh well an excuse for another vid I guess 🤷🤣
Looks great! I still need to pick up the mini Dundee as well 🤦🏻♂️
@@retrostu1 haha yes you don't want to be X2 behind! 🤣
Another Twisted for the collection, affordable too. But the aftermarket scales are adding up - I’m still waiting for CF on the Mini Dundee, Bar-Keep, and now the Atlas as well!
@@TheStageofHistory so much to do and so little time 😬 thanks for the valued support 🙏
BUZZING........... 😎
👍 you so know that’ll be joining my twisted collection 👍❤️
I've got one of these and it is a good tool however I am concerned about the sharpness of it. Would you know if I blunted the edges using a stone would it be UK legal? I brought it thinking it was a pocket pry bar but ended up realising it was a sharp. I have uk legal knives for sharpness, I don't need a complicated pocket chisel.
Our main concern was that the factory would produce a pry bar with a blunt edge not fit for purpose, as it happens the factory were a little too diligent, so we recommend taking 30 seconds to take the edge off the pry bar using a whetstone. With that done I see no reason why it would be interpreted as a fixed blade by authorities. As with UK legal knives,care has to be taken that you don't carry them to the pub etc, just use common sense, and we can't see there being a problem. It's quite rural where I live so it's different to living in a city, just exercise good judgement.
Its a tool you dont really consider, until you need one. I got one after i snapped a knife blade trying to pry open a shed door which had warped in the rain. Ive also bent many screwdrivers over the years lol
Very true, we've all been there! The amount of chisels I've chipped because I haven't wanted to go to the van to get a screwdriver must be in double figures 😆
Can’t wait to purchase one and hope USA distribution is on step closer. Looks terrific!
