This is a *terrific* review. I really love the look of the Archer, but that's an expensive knife purchase for me, so I've been on the fence since it came out.
So, I *really* appreciate you taking a very critical, but fair and thoughtful, approach to this. The details you point out were things I missed myself, and none of the other reviewers I've seen have mentioned.
But, they're details that would have driven me crazy.
So, you saved me from making a significant investment I would have regretted.
I appreciate other reviewer's optimism and enthusiasm, but having objective, well-considered criticism is really important.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Good review, thanks! My copy doesn't have those mismatched grind lines. However, it does have gritty action, lock-stick, unfinished edges, and it came with a mostly dull blade. To me, it does not feel like a $600 knife. I'm not impressed and I will be sending mine back.
Good review attention to detail and honesty gonna subscribe
Thank you sir! 🙏
I second this
Good job bro good commentary yeah shirogorov is what I was thinking when i first saw this knife new subscriber 😊
Hey, thank you sir! I’m in the middle of a move so content is low but once I get settled, I’ll be back up and running! Thanks 🙏
Its just hyperknife priced. $400 profit per peice sold.
Your observations should really be called criticisms. The whole feel of this video makes it seem like you've got a bone to pick with Tactile. I'm not saying that I disagree with your "observations," but it really comes off as a hit piece.
And your friend who thinks it looks like a Koenig Arius is out of his damn mind, it looks NOTHING like an Arius. I don't understand how he even made that connection.
As far as the price goes, I think it's a reasonable price for what you're getting. I paid more for my large Curtiss F3, which has disgustingly uneven grinds, but I don't see anyone bitching about its price tag. You're going to end up paying roughly the same price for just about any Hinderer if you decide to swap the G10 scale for a titanium scale. The Chris Reeve large Sebenza with micarta inlays costs $650. Hell, my mini Koenig Arius "Corda" with blue accents was $800. It's weird how the knife community will take a shit on the Archer because of its cost, but won't blink twice at spending the same amount or more on similar knives. But I guess the cool thing to do as a knife reviewers these days is to complain about the Archer's price.
Bubbles, people can spend their money on whatever they want! At the end of the day, it’s personal preference. I have no bone to pick with Tactile nor do I make knife reviews for a living.. I’m critical of all knives and take into account the price while doing these overviews.. call them criticisms if it makes you feel better as it is of no consequence to me. Of course there is going to be personal bias- I’m human 😂 If you love the Archer and it’s worth the money to you, more power to you! Enjoy it!
@@the_pointy_end it’s Bubbicus, not bubbles. I’ll chalk that up to autocorrect.
I don’t have an Archer, I don’t even own a single Tactile knife. At one point I had a flipper Rockwall, but I didn’t care for it so I gave it to a friend.
I guess it doesn’t really make much sense for me to comment like I did, seeing as how I don’t have a dog in the fight. I suppose I just question one’s motives when all they do is take a shit on something. But, I guess it doesn’t matter in the end because ultimately, I have no control over what you or anyone else says, which really makes me wonder why I even commented to begin with. What, exactly, did I think would happen? That you’d magically change your tune? And just who am I to criticize your video? Why do I hold my own opinions in such high regard? For whatever reason, I’m reminded of an excellent quote by Marcus Aurelius, “we have the power to hold no opinion about a thing and to not let it upset our state of mind-for things have no natural power to shape our judgments.” In other words, we don’t have to have an opinion on everything.
Anyway, thanks for your response. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Uneven grindlines on a $500 "hyperknife" is pretty terrible.
