I will second the Gemani.....That was my first introduction to Kizer many years ago and is still one of my favorite knives because it's flawlessly executed and classy. Granted the scale on yours is effing cool. Mine is a matte stainless with blue thumbstud, which at the time reminded me of a Sebenza.
Ray Laconico (Not Ray Lanico) design. Love that design for the grip on that ultem. Also, the Nitro-V steel supposedly done at a higher Rockwell level. Nice.
Always enjoy hanging out. WRT Nitro V... I feel so seen, haha. I watched one of the Cedric and Ada videos about Nitro-V, and he did get significantly better edge retention with the custom knife that was at 63 HRC, IIRC. Did you notice that middle Coast does *not* have a 4 position clip? It has 3, lol. I've never seen that before. Looks like there wasn't room for the 4th indentation. I don't know if you appreciate very minor corrections or not, but this isn't meant mean. You were sort of mangling Ray Laconico's last name. You were totally right about County Comm. They are a very tempting toy store. Oh, and the pricing on the Brazoria is because they sadly have been discontinued by Sencut. I got the Pyrite lightweight last week, and the darn thing bit me. Turns out, the point sticks out the bottom as you close it. I like it too much to return it, so I'm just learning to hold it differently, but that was disappointing. Great video, I always enjoy your content.
They have the same knife in plain stainless steel handles instead of damascus for $50 still more than I'd pay for it but it's a lot better price than that one
Hi, if these companies downsize and make SAK like tool with this quality, precision and pricing, victorinox will have hard time. Just a thought. Cheers 👍
How was lockup on the Iridium? I bought one when they were released and it had the worst lockup of any knife I own - back-bad-forth lock rock and side-to-side blade play, and I couldn’t adjust it away. Maybe I just got a lemon, but very few reviewers checked for play in the lockup.
Country of Origin ? Etched brand names on blades on quality knives shows cheapness . Opening blades with two hands does not bother me at all . I do like blade holes making blades easier to pull out . Well done !
Warning people not to buy too much on county comm even with your affiliate link is such a chad move. What a stand up guy, Dom!
I mean..that place is a trap...gear trap
@@maxlvledc it's definitely is. It's EDC heaven

The Gemini is one of my all-time favorite designs for a medium-small folder. I'm very happy to see a new version of it.
I really appreciate that the vast majority of the knives you review are sub $100, with most in the $50 range. Well done kind sir!

oh?? I need to check that on the Pyrite Lite, that would be a big oversight.
100$ for that little coast knife!? 🤯 hard pass

Yea lol, I agree

Definitely not, too many sak fans and collectors, there's already a few options out there and there nowhere near

sounds like a lemon, mine is solid.
A thumbnail of the knives would have had much greater success than a pic of boxes....
Wierdly I find the opposite is true.
@@maxlvledc Really ? Weird..
I'd have thought if people could see the knives they'd click... But you're the one with a popular channel not me 👍😁
@edwardfletcher7790 it's the mystery aspect
It’s not Ray Lonico, it’s Laconico, review your videos
Ah. Yea, I mispronounced it
