I have a few of his knives and didn't know a great deal about him. The more you know about a knife, the more you appreciate it, I'm starting to realise. Cheers, Eric, always good hearing from you, mate 👊
Great madness video brother!!! The Pilar is a banger knife and staple for any collection!! Those maple scales are gorgeous. They will be gorgeous! Great review on it! Thanks so much for the support and jumping in on the open tag!!!
Hey Steely 👊🏼 I love the Pilar. For me, it has become a modern classic 👌🏼 Like you, I enjoyed reviewing it and even more using it! 💪🏼 I need to get some new scales, too... 😉 Thanks for sharing, ATB Gus 👍🏼
Am I the only one who appreciates Heinnie 's red ! I have this version and the locking one but this is my favourite . Haven't carried it recently but I have a lot . Got mine dialled in for flicking open and closed . Those scales look great . Take care , A T B Tony . 🏴
Ray over on North star knife reviews just said he loves the red...your not alone Tony 😂. I might need to tweek my to flick out. I love a fidgety knife. 👊
The Pilar is a great knife. I have the OG all stainless one, frame lock in 8Cr13MoV as well and I absolutely love it. 👌I didn't know it was named after a boat, that's really cool. 👍 Take care my friend and Cheers!
Great review Steely. Looking forward to seeing those new scales on the Pilar. Managed to pick one of the HH versions when they eventually got some back in stock. Oddly I prefer my original locking version, love the additional weight with the framelock scales.
Fantastic review! Those new Maple scales look beautiful.. I’m sure they’ll look even better with some Danish oil 😎 Only recently got a Pilar (thank you @gadgetgus !!!🙏🏻👊🏻) Great knife, especially for doing some work! I don’t mind the HH Red to be honest but do like that these aftermarket ones are available 😎 Thanks brother, catch you soon 😎👊🏻
I really love the locking version of this, might need to get one of these so I can carry one. The Mr.Pringle crisps model 865 makes some great videos that’s for certain
Cheers, Elan. I put a McDonald's M on the scales and did a nod to his collaboration 😂. I was going to stick it on the end but decided not to in the end. He cracks me up. Like Baxter, they are funny guys. We need a bit of that in the community. You crack me up, tbf😂
Morning brother, cant fault the popularity of this knife it will look awesome with the new cms scales the danish certainly know what they are doing in furniture design and it seems knives another great video 👊ps danish oil will be best as it will give a nice satin finish 😁
I've got them on now. It's turned it into a bit of a chunkier knife. I'm using it a bit before my next video on it. I was thinking about this whole Frost thing. And it got me thinking....this is nothing new. As you know, companies have been fraudulently using Sheffield names throughout history. A lot of the times, fellow Sheffield companies 😂. This happened a lot to the brilliant companies that fall under the Egginton umbrella. Cheers brother 👊
Very informative. I have a few double detent knives, and personally, i don't trust any of them. Had a few open in the pocket. If i had to choose one, it would be the Kizer sheepdog. That ain't red! 😂😂 All the best David ✌️
Upside down the blade resembles a ships prow. Great knife and a fine review. Bit weighty and fat in pocket compared to my luna but does the job. Thanks
New scales look nice, 👍. A cheaper alternative would be to just dunk it in some RIT dye, 🤔,, Sorry, the weight and crap steel, turn me off for this one,, 😩,, great video tho' Cheers mate,,
@@SteelCityKnives I got the Zome version of Spyderco Endura, and didn't like the pattern, (they are all different), so I got some RIT dye, and turned it black, 👌,, very easy, and a great result, Well worth a go, if you have a knife you'd like to try it out on, 🤔 ps, no disassembly, just dunk, and leave it a bit, and thoroughly rinse,, 👍
@@John..18 I like the sound of no dissemble 🤣😂. It was a bit of a faff to get the pivot fixing in 🤣😂. I'll no doubt give it a go somewhere down the line.
I have a couple of modern slip joints but I just don't like the slab sided way they are built, definite no for me call it as I see it mate each to his own,. 😁
Moderns to me are a work knife. I still enjoy collecting them and using them. Traditionals and the history behind them are my real passion. So I agree with you to a point. 🫡 👊
Those wood scales look awesome. I can't wait to see part two! I really appreciate the research you put into the designer.

Great open tag, brother! I was going to cut out an M and put it on the scales 😂. In honour of your collaboration.
Hope you're good, mate? 👊

He's a cool designer. I've got a few now of his. A very unique Spyderco, which I enjoy carrying.
Congratulations on the 1k mate!! Well deserved!!! 🫡 👊

Great review 👏 really. Thanks for the shout-out. 😊
I really enjoy your channel, mate! Just watched your wood video. Cheers Michael 🍻
Look forward to seeing the spalted maple scales installed 👍🏼👍🏼
Probably release it next Monday. Ricks, short was cool! Hope you're good, brother 👊
@@SteelCityKnives it was indeed!
That knife is gonna look fantastic when you swap out the scales👍👍Nice one, buddy!
Thanks, David. It's done now. It's chunkier. The woods beaut now, it's had some oil. Cheers mate 👍

Great work, superb review. Though we have to disagree about the colour 😅
😂🤣😂
A lot of people agree with you over the red.
Thanks for the kind words.

That's not good 😮🌰🌰😮
Luckily, I've not had any open on me.

I see that now 🤔. Maybe that was part of his thinking?
It's a lot more chunkier with the new scales on it 😅.

Thanks for your reply, wood scales look good.
Bring on part 2
Vox, brilliant
Pilar was also the heroine of For Whom the Bell Tolls
Ask not. It's tolling for the lot of us.
It was the nickname for his second wife also.
Hope you're doing good, Zen 👊
I've got a Spyderco by Vox also and that's pretty unique
Not a big modern knife fan but i think that will look pretty good with those wooden scales!👍
It's turned it into a chunkier knife. But carrying it this week to see how I get on with it. Cheers Ian 👊
