The Spyderco Knives Canis Pocketknife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 09. 2020
- Today, we'll take a look at a knife that may be designed for combat, but is quite excellent in your daily life: the Spyderco Canis.
I am in 76 yrs. and found this an excellent EDC- the knife extends my reach, opens plastic wraps, and feels secure. Aso, the tip is reinforced. Fine review. Thanks.
I purchased the Yojimbo on your recommendation. The joy of using a wharncliffe blade is real so thank you. The Canis has a strong tip and tears through plastic and cardboard. Ease of use is essential, especially for someone at 76 yrs. The ergos are excellent. The Canis is beautiful.
Got one this summer it's a great knife. Zero complaints.
I am a Spyderco fan boy and Glock. I only own spydercos with exception of 1 Microtech that is 72 or 75 made. Thank you Nick for this video. And thank Spyderco for putting out very quality knives. I believe thanks goes to the designer as well. Yes, this may be a defensive design but works well on everyday carry task.
I love mine. The design is interesting and the execution is damn near perfect. Great knife.
Great video. Awesome knife. Probably one of my top 5 Spydercos of all time, which really surprised me. 🤷🏻♂️
Completely agree. Picked it up on pre-order and love it. Fantastic action
I love my Canis. When people question the reason for a good self defense knife they probably have not been attacked. I have when coming out of a pharmacy by a guy who asked for a few dollars. I told him no and he tried to attack me. I kept a distance and pulled out my Canis as he approached and told him if he comes closer he will get a Canis in his neck. He backed off when he saw the knife. I have zero training in self defense with knives but when you are being attacked it comes quite naturally.
Interesting sir, did You open the knife with one or two hands?
I mean, but you didn't use it. How do you know it's a good self defense knife
@@AggroSamurai I like this discussion, first at all we should make a definition of self defence knife, what is a self defence knife? Were is it different from other knives?.
In my opinion characteristics of this kind of knife are:
1. Easy and fast extraction and opening in a real situation even for a non trained person 2. Very good grip 3. Big enough to be effective and scaring 4. Superbe cutting performances. 5. Good locking mechanism 6. General Strength of blade and handle (but not a pry bar, cutting performances are far more important. 7. Possibility to use as kubotan. I think Canis is very good, but not perfect, carbon fiber is not needed and it is too wide when closed.
@@BladeWalker77 sir? Do they have men that want to be named Lucy where you come from?
@@ssunfish Italy, my mistake.
Nick, I really enjoy your reviews, entertaining and extremely informative which I appreciate very much 😆. You even convinced me to buy a particular knife after I had purchased 2 and started watching a lot of you tube videos on knives. Thank you for taking the time to do all that you do.
This looks like just the thing for those underground back-alley knife fights at the Vaseline factory.
So you have been there too... Man of culture
So was it was one of you two who slipped fell hit my leg and spilled my popcorn............
The first rule of Vaseline factory knife fight club...
First rule of underground back alley knife fight at the Vaseline factory is don’t talk about the underground back alley knife fights at the Vaseline factory...
You didn’t mention how it fits between the teeth when crawling through the jungle. 😀
This is such a useful knife for everyday carry, and I am pleasantly surprise how much I like it. I agree with everything you mentioned, it is one of the smoothest Spyderco out of the box, and I wish they would’ve released it in a better steel for the price they are asking for it.
Beautiful Spyderco. I love the Wharncliffe blade shape, it is awesome for EDC tasks. Thanks for sharing...
I know it will never happen, but I would like to know how many times the self defense experts who have designed these knives have ever used knives in self defense or combat situations, and how often?
Considering McCann's background, probably more than a few times.
Ronin Graves combat I can see, but several knife encounters? It would be interesting to know the circumstances.
You could ambush a foe with a folder, but fighting, much less for your life, even much less with a knife, even much much less with a folder is the last friggin thing I fantasize about!
ssunfish I know that’s right.
In the far east they use knifes in attacks & self defense.
I know in Egypt there is a lot of use of knifes in the streets
This is a knife that does not make sense seen in a photo. Held and used in hand it really amazes and is a gem
Love the practicality and design
I bought one last Saturday (05/27/2023) and the thing that stuck out to me immediately is how refined and smooth the knife. is. I also purchased a Yojumbo along with the Canis and handling them one after the other, the Canis just feels more expensive (Toyota vs. Lexus). It came drop-shut out of the box although there was some tightness obviously. I didn't touch the pivot screws. I didn't have to add any oil. I just played with it a little bit. This is the smoothest action I have in my collection. I haven't done any serious cutting with it yet, only some minor stuff. What I can say is the thing is a razor. It's almost as if the blade is going through nothing. In terms of comfort, it's practically perfect for me. My one gripe is the spydie hole. It's sharp. I thought the cutout on the scale for the compression lock was quite shallow. I had a problem with that on my old Sliverax and I thought that could potentially be a problem with this one. It's not. Overall, I'm more than happy with my purchase. Great job Spyderco. Great job (as usual) Mr. Shabazz.
Let me look at the list of companies that theoretically might have made this knife.
1.) CRKT......as a steel framelock in 8cr
2.) Spyderco
You can say a lot abou crkt but they are willing too give some weird designs a shot
3.) ZT... pre-bloodstained.
@@ulvschmidt7174 This is true. They get some awesome designs with lots of choices. Shame about them going shoddy on the material and build quality, since they buy all these designs and then cut corners to lower costs.
Actually Emerson made a prototype of the Canis for the designer a few years ago. They showed it at a few knife shows, but nothing ever came of it.
@@Nightrain1011 interesting!!!!!thank you
Love the blade shape, something different, cant wait for the PM2 with the same blade cut
Esp if it has that Canis swedge!
Keeps growing on me the more I see of it. Thanks for the video!
I really like mine, nice to see you review it!
Well. I'm sold, thanks Nick. I was in the market for a new daily driver and I was considering the yojumbo 2 but wasn't in love with the handle and it was just a little too big for my liking. I watched your Yojumbo review and when you used this guy for a comparison I came straight here. This one is perfect for my needs. All the likes, great review 👍
I would so so love if this came with button compression lock like Smock!
I'm kind of one of those people that's not a big fan of the CF laminate. Especially for the $200. They used real CF on the Kapara that was $165 but they wont do on knives like this or the smock..Etc. I see it as laziness and trying to cut corners. For sub $100 i'm fine with it but $150 or more, there's no excuse for it.
Kyle sentz, me on the other hand love the grip and the look. And that for someone that did a lot of carbon fiber jobs.. Everybody uses full carbon and it makes it unique for Spyderco as far as I know.
Damn Nick, I wasn't expecting such a gleemy review considering its design purpose. Awesome review
I've owned this knifefor a little while now and love it! So much that I bought the yojumbo to for my hand a little better.
I own one and had to send it back to spyderco because the dam clip screws fell out . Love the blade shape and a great cutting tool reminds me of a knife that riddick would carry if he had an office job . Thanks for the review Mr.Nick
Had the same clip screw problem with my pm2 tanto. Spyderco really makes some crappy screws.
The beauty of screws is that you can put them back yourself..
@@Stahlwerk88 No you can't when the threads are stripped out. I unscrewed a clip a screw once, and when screwing it back in, it just turns and never catches. Not the first time this has happened with spyderco screws for me.
@@Stahlwerk88 yeah I know that dick nose the threads on the handle were stripped always one smart ass
Love the reviews Nick. You sound like a total wise-guy.
The Canis is out of my price range, but I do think it is a great design, and I still want one.
I am a big fan of the wharncliffe, and have a Yoji 2. I want to get one of those yojumbos later down the line.
My favorite spyderco I own is a Spyderfly balisong.
Cool!
Have you bought the Canis by now? I didn't buy it when it was newly released about 2yrs ago because when I put my thumb on the short jimping it kinda felt pointy in a filipino style grip! That time was about $20 less than today ... My mistake I don't need to use the thumb on top grip ! Many knives don't allow that like the Endura Emerson Wave etc ... which is too high to comfortably rest my thumb ... I just bought the Canis recently and actually find it lighter than the Yojimbo2, Knifecenter says 3.9 oz instead of 4.1oz on Spyderco's website ! The handle is more ergonomic to hold than Yojimbo2 ! It gives you more confidence in a self-defense situation than Yojimbo2 But really it's more about how well you can use it n how well you're trained using it !!! Not the length or weight etc ... that's what the Knife Experts will tell you ... God Bless !!!
@@valontony I never got a canis, but for my security carry, I usually have the yojimbo2 as well as a yojumbo.
Both g10 with s30v and ti deep carry clips.
My fave type of knife is any knife where my fingers are nowhere near the slicing path durring the process closing of a folder :)
I don't know much about knife fighting but I do like these wharncliff style blades for their utility. If you need to make a fine or precise cut where you'd drag the tip through the material than a wharncliff or a sheep's foot is easier to do that with. And if you'r not very good at sharpening, like me, than the straight edge is a lot easier to sharpen because you don't have to maintain the angle along the belly.
I'm a Spyderco fan. Got two+ rolls full of just exclusives, sprint runs, and hard to find collection pieces; and my totally dressed up with after-market parts, carbon-fiber scaled, powder-coated custom hardware and added G10 backspacer-sporting, Lynch-clipped Manix 2 with M4 blade is the knife I grab most often, esp when I don't know what sort of work the day will bring.
All that said, *I* am one of those people that hates the Spyderco "carbon fiber/G10 laminate" crap. Actually, I should say, I hate that Spyderco charges a price for it like it's actual carbon fiber. It looks cheap, it feels cheap, and I don't know how much weight it saves over G10 alone, but whatever it is, it's not worth the cost when it doesn't even have the anesthetically pleasing look of real carbon fiber. Spyderco's pricing is schizophrenic like that: a standard PM2 with satin S30V blade steel is about $150, and a standard config Manix is about $125--those are great prices for as much knife as those platforms give you. If knives that big, with G10 scales, had butterfly logos on them, they'd be $200 and $189, respectively. But the minute Spyderco puts their version of "carbon" scales on a knife, like the horribly designed, light duty, Mantra 3 (seriously, somebody is going to lose the tip of an index finger with that knife), suddenly 3" of S30V blade now costs $168. Again, the Taiwan-built, Mantra 3 flipper, with its dire need of a choil and just barely 3" blade costs more than a PM2, and a lot more than a Manix 2. And apparently, the Spyderco people have gotten titanium and gold mixed up, because any time they have a knife with even a single scale made from titanium, the knife is tagged with a price that I assume must be based on its weight in troy ounces. Either that, or they have someone setting the final MSRP whose dyslexia is triggered by being near titanium. I think the poor bastard must mix up the digits with those titanium frames, and punch in a retail price of $391 instead what it should actually be.
I like the look of the Canis, but the Schizo-Spyder price of $192 will prevent me from buying one. $192 for "carbon fiber laminate" and S30V? Nope. For another $50 I can buy all but handful of ZT models, and get a full titanium frame, actual carbon fiber scales, and a CPM-20CV blade. Or without the extra $50 I can still get al ZT with an S35VN blade.
Agreed. I stated about the same thing. This knife should be complemented with alloy, or titanium scales, and a full backspacer. The pillar construction with the g10ish/ faux carbon fiber junk scales feels cheap, and looks cheap. I own a Canis, but it doesn't command the respect, or the sexy of say an old school Police Model, or even a base model PM2.
Absolutely love the look of this. I might have to jump on one.
Please don’t jump on knives. It might be bad for the knife, and potentially dangerous for you.
Me too! AWESOME looks! Sometimes I buy just on looks n name brand
Awsome review thanks Nick
Hey, Nick, are you going to check out the Rockjumper? It looks a bit like a utility version of this.
The MSRP of the Rock Jumper is a whole $3 more, and there are a LOT of differences between it and the Delica. Design wise, it pretty much only shares the lock mechanism and opening hole.
Look out for the Canis Majoris when Spyderco gives this the Yojumbo treatment.
You're brilliant! I didn't even think of that!
11:00 excelent moment!!!! You rocks NIck!!!! Keep going!!!
Hey Nick, I know this is a pretty obvious question, but will you do a direct comparison between the Canis and the Yojimbo 2?
Hoping for a sprint run in s110 with blurple g10
Saaame
That's wild!!! I'd just be happy if they do it in S35VN and button compression lock!
I like it. Reminds me a little of the Smock.
Agreed! I prefer the Smock though personally
Would have made a cool big brother to Smock!
I enjoyed your honest review Nick, Canis will be my next purchase.
Muy bonita navaja y funcional , gracias por la información Nick, saludos
Wish that Spyderco could have done a longer cut out behind the opening hole instead of the short curve jimping which makes it uncomfortable for those whose thumb goes beyond that resting point pressing down on the crest of that jimping ! Ouch ! Something like the We Ziffius would fit more thumb lengths ...
Maybe it's just me, but this looks a whole lot like an Emerson P-SARK. If you look at the Spyderco Tropen, that also looks like an Emerson designed CQC-8. Not saying they stole designs, but the similarities are definitely there
Nick was talking about this, in part, in an article published in Knives Illustrated November 2020 issue
Always sound advice you give on not participating in knife fights unless trained and skilled.
I love this one for EDC. ❤
Have a yojimbo the first version and it's close to my favorite pocket knife on a freight dock worked on them for the last decade and change they just cut
Given the relatively new design, did Spyderco put a bushing on this?
Check the disassembly video for a full take-down.
@@NickShabazz Could have just answered him.
Very interesting piece.
Thanks for the review!
How does it carry? It looks very wide when closed.
Any reports of the tips breaking on these like the Yojimbo? I'd be interested to know how the tip thickness stacks up against it and the PM2.
Hi Nick, just wanted to let you know, Kelly McCann previously had another production knife made by MOD/Blackhawk the Crucible. Both a fixed blade and folder. It was a pretty good design but completely different than the Canis.
The Spyderco Exemption Rule (SER): SER is a special shabazzian rule by which a low saber grind on a thick stock would be ugly and despised in a knife of almost any other brand, but it is perfectly good here. The rule generally applies to a number of other features, and it has been hard to pinpoint, historically. For example not being made in the USA being "bad" is mentioned in countless other reviews but never seems much of a problem if it is a Spyderco ;-p
It also appears increasingly that this year all other knife manufacturers have not produced any new models :))))
When it cuts this well, on thin blade stock, it's not bad. Show me a knife with equivalently thin blade stock with a thin hollow grind where I said this was a bad thing. Also, where do I talk about 'not made in the USA' as bad? I'll sometimes mention that a price is high for being overseas made, and I'll often highlight Made in USA as being desirable for many, but I don't generally (ever?) talk about something being made overseas as 'bad'.
@@NickShabazz
1) Point taken about the hollow grind, but to say that that is a thin blade stock seems just false. I was under the impression that you even said so in the video - although I might be wrong and I am not going to re-watch it just to check :)
When you slice through something, especially something rigid, no matter how hollow the grind, sooner or later the thickness of the blade will have to go through the material, and that is *not* good. I am reasonably sure that you have made this point before - about some Italian knives, probably. We don't typically wish to cut through paper with an inch thick axe that has been chiseled to a very hollow grind ;)
2) "where do I talk about 'not made in the USA' as bad? "
Answering this requires me to be pedantic, and I apologise in advance. In my defense, I teach Computational Logic, so.. what do you expect.. :)
First we should observe that "bad" just means "best avoided". Aside, possibly, from the philosophical contortions of some increasingly discredited position in Value Theory and, worse yet, in Virtue Ethics, we mostly consider value judgements as relative.
440C was good in the 80s, bad today, or "best avoided today", if you have to use a knife and you only have the choice between one in 440C and another in a shady "surgical steel", the former is suddenly good again). If, on the other hand, I was trying to fail to cut something, then the good and bad would be suddenly reversed.
Because of this, one can easily say that something is bad without ever saying it. If I say that I prefer my dog to be a Corgi, I imply that it is less desirable to me that it is not a Corgi. When something is less desirable, in the presence of a viable option that is more desirable, the lesser option is best avoided, which - as we have seen - is just what bad means. The two ways of expressing the idea are logically equivalent and there is no difference if one actually uttered one or the other. The choice of which form to make explicit is just a matter of convention, habit, convenience, etiquette or hypocrisy, depending on the case.
As you stated, you often repeat that being made in the USA is a desirable feature, because people in the US care about paying for work done by American people on American soil. You have made this point very clear to me before. (*)
Apart from the sadness of seeing people who fail to see foreigners as perfectly deserving human beings like themselves, if being made in the USA is desirable, then not being made in the USA is not desirable, or less desirable, i.e. it is bad, at least comparatively.
Even if we introduced a third logic state of Neutral, between Good and Bad, the argument would still work: you just substitute bad with 'not as good' and everything still holds. For example one can replace 'good' with a relativistic term, such as 'preferable' which would actually make a lot of sense given the fact that the property "Country Of Manufacturing" is a mandatory set-property (i.e. a knife must necessarily have been made somewhere) and the fact that every use of the term 'desirable' when used in informal speech can be rephrased as 'desirable over the alternatives'.
For example when you say that a thin edge is desirable, you mean that a thin edge is preferable to a thick edge. When you mention that a lockup is good because it is solid you are most definitely implying that a not-solid lockup is not-good. When you say that it's a good thing that a knife is manufactured in the US...
3) "A price is high for being overseas made" makes little sense for a few reasons. Firstly, overseas from where? As a viewer from the UK myself, the US is overseas from me. Also there are plenty of countries with much higher labour cost than the US. We have fully established this and I won't revisit it. Finally there are duties on goods from them, so for a lot of countries it is reasonable to expect that the price would be actually higher.
It is only a relatively small set of countries for which an American knife buyer should expect lower prices. In our case, you clearly refer mainly to that large country that has a massively growing economy and is very threatening to the US and in some cases is starting to make pretty good knives.
All that aside, in this case, and actually for a lot of Spyderco knives, both conditions are met to: " mention that a price is high for being overseas made".
--
(*) My retort is of course that it is a desirable feature only to Americans under this reasoning, and you could say the same for Russian knives to Russians. And last time I checked not everyone in the world , or on the web, must be automatically assumed to be American, or Western (that's sadly common, and it is not only false but also a terrible indictment of the egocentrism we all fail prey of, me included). I am sure that there are a variety of of other nationalities represented in your viewership. To many of these people that assumption may be a bit hurtful.
that blade shape is not doing it for me..but I like the ergos
I like it, it's not bad priced either, s30v steel? It's about £200 in the UK. Same price as the Spyderco Caribbean or a smidge cheaper than the Benchmade Saibu 486
Definitely not my cup of tea, but I'm about as far from tacticool as one can possibly get. My one concern is it looks like the scales are further ahead than the plunge grind, could make sharpening a tad difficult on a kme
Once saw a switchblade popped right before a fight started. Dude who did had a cocky look, like this was going to be over before it began. Nope. Guy he pulled it on grabbed the blade wielding hand in one swift motion, and knocked the punk out in one punch with another, he and the knife hit the ground at the same time. Then too much mayhem ensued to retell here, but no one got stabbed or killed thank God. True story.
Saw a guy pull a knife out on a group of scooter riders outside a 7/11. Knife guy looked very unhinged and probably higher than the moon on drugs. Group of scooter riders looked like some high school kids out and about with friends, nothing too menacing or troublesome. Long story short, group of scooter kids bashed the dude down into the ground with their helmets and promptly rode away into the night. Over in seconds, but by god it was quick. Knife guy stood no chance.
No sharpening choil?! Nick, how could you miss this?
Spyderco hates sharpening choils.
I'm painfully aware of spyderco's stance on this. Nonetheless should the absence of a sharpening choil be mentioned every single time. It's bad. Borderline ugly.
Martin S. In self-defense situation the sharpening choil could hang up the knife.
Can you do a review on the Leatherman Rebar, this is my favorite multitool and I want to know what you think about it
This is a combat knife? Wharncliffe blade? You better trust that liner lock a lot, cause with the pressures on that blade to close when you stab with it you will be a few fingers short if it does not hold.
The lockup of the compression lock is quite different from and much stronger than a linerlock, the only similarity is the unlocking motion. There is a large number of knife self-defense teachers that prefer the wharncliffe blade, mostly for slashing, not stabbing. The most well known is Michael Janich, the designer of the yojimbo and yojumbo Nick referenced in the video.
@@Nightrain1011 I can see where it would be preferential for slashing than other blade contours (deep wounds). Nevertheless, it would still creep me out wrt. stabbing.
Cool nickname, Mountainhobo!
The compression lock is PLENTY strong, its one of the stronger locks out there.
I just ordered this a few days ago. I hope this is a good review 🤞
Well I feel better after watching the full review!
I really like this knife its knocked my PM2 off the top spot, sophisticated Yojimbo
Demko ad20 also has a wharncliffe blade... Just saying.. It seems like a much better "combat folder", if there is such an animal
I can't find aftermarket scales for this or I'd buy one. Love the blade but I dislike carbon fiber a lot.
It’s on my list.
The blade profile looks like a buzzard. I'm liking it the more I look at it. It would be something completely different in my collection.... I feel a new purchase coming on...
very interesting looking knife
You made a very real point that most people over look, carrying a knife for self defense has many downsides one being you provide an opportunity to arm your attacker
Indeed!!! I carry a 22 and knives, but never never wanna be anywhere dangerous or use them on a person! The 22 is for rabid dogs, Coyotes, raccoons and skunks most emphatically NOT humans
The other is having to explain with 100% undeniable proof that your life was in danger enough to use it.
Idk how I would be disarmed...but I'll take my chances
@@jhfit oh didnt realize you were Superman.... Just remember bigger and badder men then you and I have been taken out and murdered
I don't hear about CZcams millionaires anymore, they sewed that shut, but what a huge value to be able to buy a knife without a second thought! Sometimes they even send you one unexpectedly! Aaron at Gideon's Tactical got a Kershaw Dividend composite blade and didn't even expect it or know it was coming
I think it’s a really good looking knife
I just want to say Nick I like your reviews. I came back after carrying this knife for a while. I want to add for self defence every edge is perfect breaking any of the edges reduces its effectiveness especially the sharp edge in the spydyhole.
Bonjour de France 🇫🇷 good vid but l dont understand the utility of warncliff style ?
If you are not skinning out game, wharncliffe is the best blade shape because you can index exactly where the point and edge are! More controllable cuts!
ssunfish ok thanks
Spot on review perspective. Just another mall ninja fleece piece from Spyderco.
I had actually forgotten the term "mall ninja" and now I can't stop giggling.
or for the outstretched hand of an overweight neckbeard taking a photo for his EDC post on Reddit
May I purchase that Yojumbo from you good sir
Nick RULES!!! 👍😃👍
Easy to sharpen 😎👍 Thanks again for the video
Surprising! Go Spyderco!!
I love mine. I got it the week they released. I was expecting you to use a favorite Shabazz-ism “murdery”.
In New York City a year ago. I was on my way to work. 3 guys attempted to rob me. I was 3 blocks from a police station. I chose to make a run for it, to try and get to the police station. They chased me. They caught me. I got jumped in the street. They didn’t get my cell phone, or wallet. But they did get a CJRB Feldspar, and a Civivi Elementum! Two knives were taken from me. So you are right about arming your attackers!
at first i thought eeeew. then i seen a video and ordered one. it quickly became my favorite Spyderco over the chef
Nick you have a VOICE made for voice overs or tv commercials !
Awesome knife
Perfect knife for opening MRE packages
U don't need a knife to open mres
@@Steveo30xyz I don't need a knife for my cheetos either and yet I do it
And then after the mre, not crap for a week.
Google 'brown biscuits ab', we Brits perfected the no-shit 24hr ration pack decades ago. 👍
Looks like a quartermaster design 😎
Damn, I totally see it. They'd probably call it the 'Mr Belvedere' or the like....
I expected more. The blade design is great, but the pillar design with no back spacer feels cheap. $50 knife, yes. $200+ no. A titanium scale, or aluminum scaled model with full a back spacer would be more in order. The Canis, in its production form, could have been executed with a Wharncliffe bladed Tenacious, and accomplished the same result in a cheaper price point. I realize the cost is also from using a higher grade steel than 8CRmov...Chinesium, but how much of the cost is based on tacticool vs. material cost?
I've been on the fence regarding this knife. I already have and enjoy both a Yojimbo and Yojumbo, which the Canis somewhat resembles. The price has put me off a bit, but maybe I'll give it another look after this review. It may be sold out soon, since it has attained gem status.
can you do the pm2 tanto?
If he can get one. I'm sure spyderco would send one. I absolutely love it. In all honesty it feels like how the knife should have been originally designed. I'm saying this as a huge fan of the original PM2.
Oh yea I love this knife it goes everywhere with me. I sleep with it in my left hand.
When I saw the video was only 11 minutes long I thought for sure it was going to be astoundingly negative. Like this is straight up junk. I'm surprised!
Thanks for the video, you have me interested in this one now. Not completely sold on the aesthetics, but I'm impressed.
I was sold on asthetics and having my favorite blade profile shape then saw it was S30V like Kepara and got unsold.
Can’t wait for the murdered out version...
You've totally convinced me!. I must get one now!
Along to your fod prep theory here a santoku would not be good for food prep?
No, because the handle is well above the edge on a santoku.
@@NickShabazz well that's true.somehow. but weren't you talking bout the blade shape? anyway. love you.
You talk funny!

He’s a great guy! But what’s up with the accent and voice?
To be honest as someone who is attracted to tactical knives just for the ascetics had you not said it was a self defense blade I wouldn't have known. The swedge makes it look like a highly functional utility knife for not binding up while cutting.
This knife doesn't make sense. It seems like one of the eccentric blades from spyderco that will disappear quickly and be some quirky, awkward conversation years from now, like the Khalsa.
Russell Boland I hope not. It will take me a while to save enough to buy it.
To me it's fundamentally simple, thus understandable! It just looks unique, but it's a knife is a knife type knife
Bot of those knives designed by great men
Wow nick you convinced me to get one!! I love wharnys!!
Well. I like that.
If you didn’t tell me this was designed for self defence I’d say this design shouts box cutter to me.
Box cutters bring planes down
@@marklightner7553 no u didn't 😂
Initially I thought that the playback speed was at 1,25...

That’s a huge jump. Ughhhh
