Awesome looking knife. Not one that I would normally buy - but would love to get my hands on it for a review of it's doing the rounds. Great of Paddy and Judd to send it across the sheugh!!
Get involved, brother! Contact Paddy. I'd like to see what you make of it. Your thumbnail on the Victorinox and mini pens videos were brilliant, mate👌. Hope you're good MB? 👊
Thank you for your honest a as usual sincere review.the micarta scales looked awesome,and its been confirmed now £170 for micarta and £190 for carbon fybre.your correct Gus is next .really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me.atb paddy.
It's a cool knife! I loved having a look! It's made me look at friction folders in a new light. It's a brilliant price for what you are getting. If you compare that to similar knives. Thank you Paddy and thank Judd. Cheers mate!!
It's definitely good to see what's out there and get it in hand. It was very good of Paddy and Judd to pass it around. How are you Lewis. I've taken your advice on the museum video literally and just going to show footage of me filming it. It's a bit raw, but then it's like you're all coming along with me. Hope you are good mate? 👊
I really like the blades on these. They are very reminiscent of the Grimmsmo brothers, knives… albeit at a much more affordable price. The machining of the handles, a little too rough and ready on the carbon, but just about right for the micarta.
Do they make the Norseman? Joe brought them up on the live as a comparison. I'm not too knowledgeable about friction folders. It's a very interesting knife. I wanted to compare it to the quiet carry limited edition knife that has a stepped milled blade but for $300. I probably rushed the video. I'm missing your videos, Eric. 🫡
@SteelCityKnives yes. They make the norseman and the rask. I have the norseman, and hate it honestly. Nonsense reddit users conned me into thinking i needed it, and boy a mistake. Anyhow, great vids, and subscribed!
If you raise the tang so it sits above the handle, you can use reverse grips which greatly increases a friction folders utility, and arguably, makes it more secure than a slipjoint. Popular in medieval times, but now forgotten.
Is that why companies leave it proud out of the handle? That makes sense. Cheers for that. It's got to be the first pocket knife the friction folder? 😂 There is a bit of a club for them on Facebook, I believe?
Leaving it proud will give you better indexing but for reverse grips the end of the tang needs to sit well above the handle. Yeah, the first pocket knives, as we know them, were friction folders. The French Siamois is a good example. @@SteelCityKnives
Paddy is a living legend in this community as we all know. Stand up guy!! Along with you good sir!! Thanks for showing that beautiful peice, i love the step grind on that blade!👊🏼
How you doing mate? Fantastic video… Really enjoyed Paddy and Jud’s live with Joe!!! Really like this knife, and super impressed by Joe’s near obsessive drive for perfection! I really think he’s taken the friction folder design to a new level!!! Totally get what you’re saying about friction folders.. tang lengths etc… £170 ish is a lot of money but when you consider the amount of work and dedication that’s gone into bringing this into production, I think it’s a fair price. Thanks brother, catch you soon 👊🏻
It's a fair price for what he's put into this knife. I agree with you. Sean, I must have watched both lives so many times each whilst I was at work. I made notes of rockwell hardness and stories he talked about. His jewlery course. And I didn't bring any of it up 😂. Both the lives were brilliant! Hope you're good, mate? How's the knife storage coming on? 👊
@@SteelCityKnives I’m good mate… the knife storage is a work in progress…😂 Meant to say…definitely a micarta fan… never tried carbonfiber … just doesn’t appeal to me 🤷🏻♂️…. Cheers mate… catch you soon 👊🏻
@@SteelCityKnives thank you Martin. They don't get as many hits as they used to I don't think the algorithm likes me anymore. Thank you for watching brother keep charging!👊💥🎶🎸
Great review as usual. I'm not sure about this one. I love the blade, and it looks really well engineered, but I'm not a great lover of the opening method. And also the protrusion of the blade tang. Be interesting to see some more reviews. All the best, David ✌️
The extended tang usually puts me off, but Joe has done his very well. I'm so impressed with what he's doing. It's a very interesting knife. I'm getting to the point of spending more on knives, but I'm definitely not there yet😂! Cheers, brother. I'm off now, so hopefull, I can catch up on watching some videos. 👊
Morning brother, firstly I love a friction folder but I'll be honest I don't like this granted he has thought long and hard about the design but not for me way too fussy , and the lines on the blade surely they will interfere with the sharpening? At some point 🤔 , I do feel bad now slagging it off but gotta be honest haven't we 👊
We gotta be honest. I'm trying to be as unfiltered as I can. I'm a tight bugger so I'm not ready to shell out that much yet for one knife. Hope you're good brother? 👊

Not my cup of tea but I am fascinated by the blade design, I will stick to slip joints however nice to see alternative options. 😁
It's definitely good to see what's out there and get it in hand. It was very good of Paddy and Judd to pass it around.
How are you Lewis. I've taken your advice on the museum video literally and just going to show footage of me filming it. It's a bit raw, but then it's like you're all coming along with me. Hope you are good mate? 👊

Enjoyed the video! Definitely an interesting knife and loved your perspective.
Thanks, mate. I am looking forward to all the other reviews on this.
Beautiful friction folder señor
The shape of the top of the knife reminds me of an OTF. It's pretty cool knife! 😎 👊
Very interesting knife! The milling is crazy wild! That micarta is popping man!!
Love me some micarta!! Hope you're good brother? 👊
@@SteelCityKnives yessir thanks for asking! Yourself?
@865knives All good here, brother 👊
Wow that's a beauty, great video my friend!!
Thanks, Jake. I think you would love this knife, brother 👊
Cool piece! Thanks for your thoughts on it, buddy!👍
Hi mate 👋
It's definitely cool and would be a massive conversion piece. It's visually brilliant. 😊
Cheers brother 👊
Thats a really cool knife. Great video Martin!
Thank you, mate! You've been crushing the shorts, brother! I've really been enjoying your channel!! 👊
@@SteelCityKnives thank you Martin. They don't get as many hits as they used to I don't think the algorithm likes me anymore. Thank you for watching brother keep charging!👊💥🎶🎸
9:31 The Svord peasant knife has a large tang unfortunately.
I keep meaning to get the mini. Cheers, brother. 👊
Hey Steel City that is an awesome knife brother!
It is. He's making some exciting stuff! 👊
Great review as usual.

You crack me up, Elan 😮😂. You are very frank. I have a South facing room I film in, that's all. Good light. Cheers brother 👊
