Chris Reeve Sebenza 21 Carbon Fiber Large Knife Review & Torture Test
Vložit

- The Chris Reeve Sebenza is recommended as the best production folding knife, and in this review I will fully “field” (torture) test and use the carbon fiber Knifeart.com exclusive variant. I’ll cut up tomatoes, baton, bash through a avacado seed and probably make some bad jokes. You'll see comparisons to the Spyderco Para Military 2, Benchmade 940-1, and Benchmade 765.
Several Sebenza 21 trim options at BladeHQ: shrsl.com/15406

This guy really knows his knife terms. He's probably advanced as far as knife bros go.
Ok Knife Bro! You talked me into Buying a Sebenza! This will be my 1st EDC knife
Finally somebody used their sebenza
+Bladecollector 7 used the shit out of it!
Tons of people in instagram have well worn sebenzas..
@@Glenn056 sliced sooooo much paper...
I agree most sebenza owners open and close it 100 times a day and put oil on it......and maybe sharpen it and cut one piece of paper per year
Amen! Finally! I want to beat the shit out of one if I ever choke up the cash. No safe queens in my collection
Can't believe I'm contemplating a Sebenza, I never should've gotten into knives. This video just made me like it more.
Don't do it!
Haha, but seriously... would you buy it again? Yours is one of the few true voices left in the knife world.
While I’m not ready to sell it... I’d think hard about it again. My advice if you need to scratch that itch is to buy one used from someone on Reddit’s r knife swap or somewhere else on the secondary market. You see many many sebenzas get resold over there. Remember when Luke went into the cave on dogobah... and Yoda told him that the only thing in that cave is what you take with you. Your enjoyment of a sebenza is about 40% of what you bring with you. It’s a fine knife, but you can find many other knives that do what it does.
Solid advice, thanks AKB.
Tax return + itch = dammit
The only dude who batons a sebenza, that's why your the greatest. I looked forward to this video and got everything I was looking for out of it. Love the content man. Keep it up.
+Justin Roy I decided to go all in... glad you liked it man
@@AdvancedKnifeBro "I decided to go all in, glad you liked it " is the name of your porno 🤣 .... also good video man !
I live vicariously through your abuse of folding knives.
+Jason Shaffer me too!
Yeah, batoning a Sebenza is gonna be an instant sub from me. Great channel, I've now seen the only Seb that's ever cut anything besides tape or paper.
I'm going to ding you slightly for not striking a ferro rod with the edge.
;-)
This man doesn't duck around.
Edit: I'm leaving it.
+AZ0960440 sounds good to me!
“I did this because, there truly is something wrong with me” lol oh man I say pretty much this at work all the time.
It's true!
Spine whacking a Sebenza = automatic thumbs up! Idaho, Shmidaho!
+Chris Pariseau thanks dude!
My favorite line... "But I did this because there truly is something wrong with me." It took a second to register, but then I really laughed. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
If you want more clicks put "torture test" in the title
+Clap Forboobies shit, you're right!
Advanced Knife Bro "Gone Sexual" works too.
Donald Trump Kim Kardashian Hard Use would also work.
I'll click on that if I'll see it in the suggestions.
Noted for my next review!
Best review on CZcams by far.! I bought the small knife art inkozi sebenza and can't wait to carry it
And i am here scared to beat up my 20 $ knife...
+Ernesto Skrr Not me!
Softie
If it's a 20 knive, u should be! Most of them are dangerous if u go hard on them!
I wish i could give you 10 likes for that happy sebenza batoning part.
Awesome vid as always. Hours of shooting and editing for sure.
+q-sens yeah 4-6 hours to make this one.. thanks dude!
Someone finally did it! Perhaps one of the best videos on the topic. I feel this elevated your YT status. Awesome.
The topic of Sebenzas!
It's more so that someone finally used one "hard" instead of opening, closing and talking while slicing phone book paper. It's not so much Sebenza, but the topic of actually using these ~$400 well built knives. The reason I say this elevated your status is due to the fact we know you will speak the truth about any knife. You didn't kiss it's ass or falsely criticize it. You proved your ability to provided honest feedback, which wasn't much in question. Thanks for taking the 4-6hrs it took to make this.
+ToxicityAssured I mix it up some... some videos I beat the crap out of a knife- others I don't. I felt like this one deserved the royal treatment though... and even though I paid a lot for it- I mostly bought it for the channel and my own curiosity.
And as far as those tough stances people take in videos, just to talk some shit for the clicks- you probably won't see me do that. I try to logically approach stuff, cover all the points I notice and let people decide. Like batoning... I didn't do that so I could prove the lock would fail once... I know that most frame locks will under those circumstances. I don't really consider that a problem- but I get a kick out of it... and if it's someone's perogative to not like it based upon that it's fine. And if someone thinks that's a stupid test, that's fine too.
Wow that was one of the best reviews I've seen on Sebenza. I have a small insingo and love it.
+jaypowell0185 nice! I thought about getting that blade style... but stuck with the drop point.
Awww yeah, I've been waiting for this video ever since you announced it. Mondays aren't so shitty after all!
+cris romero tried to make it an extra special one!
This really is the best Sebanza review on the CZcamss. Really good job Mr. H.!I must mention that anyone looking for a Sebanza-esque knife who thinks the large is too large and the small is too small - and that both are grossly overpriced - may check out the Land (Sanrenmu) 9103 and 9104. Same general shape as the Sebanz' but with milled out stainless steel, ball bearings, Sanvik blade, and a price of less than 20 USD.
Yeah those Sanrenmu clones are alright... this one is a little lighter than those, but they're still a great value.
Watched again,your torture tests are definitely an appreciated thing!
Hey man that was a great video! Nice to see a sebenza put to the test. I've had mine for 2 years and carry it every day...I've never worried about it breaking and it's good to know it can handle moderate survival tasks. Thanks!
+D J oh yeah... it ain't gonna break... but the batoning did screw up centering and the detent just a bit. Oh well... all for entertainment!
Nice test! Thanks for taking one for the team. Hell, that knife may have increased in value.. to you! I also carry the 940-1, s110v para but a standard lefty 21 insingo. I would have a Knife Art cf version, but the left handed version has been out of stock forever!!!!!
Our taste and opinion on knives is very similar. Love the channel. Your video quality is great but the script is what makes it so special.
Thumbs up for beating up a $ebenza. As soon as I saw you were reviewing this knife, I had a feeling there would be some abuse. Did not disappoint.
+peterko I feel if I didn't beat up a knife I paid way too much for, everyone would be let down.
Glad you do what you do!
I've been on a kick watching (and liking) nearly every one of your old videos. They are seriously so funny. I appreciate the witty humor and sarcasm. You're a funny funny dude.
Thanks for actually using that sebenza and giving your honest opinion. As always great video!
I always give my honest opinion. Sometimes it's wrong, but it always comes from a good place! Glad you like the videos. I have a pretty large back catalog of them... some are better than others- and while I've stuck with the same formula... I've tried to make my voiceovers sound less boring than the older stuff- most is unchanged though!
Dude your reviews are amazing. Laughing my ass off - also props for using the BMPCC. Great cinematography.
I've been using this camera solid for years now... that and the Panasonic G7. Thanks!
Nice, well presented review. Thanks for posting.
Good to see someone actually use the knife instead of a studio setup with two hands that don't appear to do any real work, like the knives they display.
I will stick to using my $30 cold steel working man a as knife to baton through small branches
Honesty is refreshing
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for batoning a Sebenza for my viewing pleasure! Wow. You should also mention how many Ganzo knives you could've bought for the same money. Props to you, Advanced Knife Bro!
Figured someone had to do it! Plus I've beat up so many Ganzos... a Sebenza had it coming
great perspective and real use. Subscribed!!!
I love your style. Refreshing. I gave my 940-1 to my son. Never had a desire to own a Spyderco, although I couldn't live without my Sharpmaker. And I haven't fallen out of love with my large Sebenza micarta or my Umnumzaan Wilson Combat. Great job, young man!
Thank you!
spydercos are great
I'm so happy that you did what you did with it. I want more people to hard use knives.
+125joshb that's mostly what this channel is about. I know what the subscribers want!
Great video bro! I have been juggling adding one of these to my collection for a year now. You gave me more to think about. I see that there are a lot more bang for your buck high end and medium end knives out there but this this is pretty solid and holds its own. Thank you!
Finally, someone who actually USES their knives.
Beautiful video.
I subscribed 👍
U did something i couldnt do with my sebenza. U got some balls homie. Subscribed
Thanks! Do not do this with your Sebenza!
Awesome review, I still think I'm going to get one though. Thanks for all the good and bad points.
+MidwestTuner as long as you know what to expect... you'll be good
Came here to up vote, comment, and watch. In that order. Popcorn time!
+Ian Castillo Thanks bro!
Actually made me laugh out...which is rare for CZcams , thanks!
I like the way you described the purchase of the sabenza, something like "I wanted to figure out the point at which I perceive diminishing returns on the amount of money I spend on a knife". I'm thinking of doing the same thing...
Yeah... I still don't use it that much. Oh well.
Great review on the 'action'
Or, you can buy 3 SR 9104 Lands, another Armtek Predator and drink the other 300 bucks ..but I really appreciate the bravery on batoning a US$450 folder AKB, you´re truly one of a kind....keep em coming. Congrats and thank you!
Great video!!
it used to be 58-59 HRC , that's why the reputation for softness, CRK changed the hardness to 59-60 in 2016.
Hinderer has there S35vn at 60-61hrc.
love your flashlight videos man
+Big Brown Guy that makes sense... I was reading some threads from a while ago over on blade forums... and I thought I had remembered reading that. Thanks dude!
Advanced Knife Bro I've been learning about flashlights very complicated, your videos really break it down for the regular dudes, I really like that.
keep up the good work
CRK changed their heat treat to 59-60 in mid 2013, but the cards weren't updated until early 2016 (guessing they didn't want to waste their stock of pre-printed cards)
Source: CRK customer service.
That said, I can't keep it sharp to save my life. I have $20 chinese folders made of mystery steel that hold an edge longer. Maybe I'm just not sharpening it correctly.
Great vid. I've considered the Chris reeve large sebenza but for the price and what you get, I'll stick with my favorites, the benchmade 940-2 and and my spyderco pm2. In fact, I'm looking to get the sprint run pm2 with s35vn. I'd like to see how well that steel stacks up. Thanks again
your channel may take over as best in my little world of useless info about knives i cant afford or have room for but man they are funny as hell
There's plenty of useless info here!
I'm not going to lie, It was satisfying to see you wack on that brand new Sebenza. I'm of the mindset that unless you are buying some sort of knife art like a Marfione Custom, you gotta use and abuse it. That is what its made for! Piss on letting sit in a safe or using it as a play toy. You just gotta cut some stuff and CARRY it. I really digged the review. Keep em' coming!
+Elvay I figured, why not. All of my knives are users- this happens to be the one I've paid most for- but just like everyone else I was interested to have one. Well maybe not everyone.
Oh I had the Nokton on a Bessa R2 as my first rangefinder lense. Funny how you could barely see through the frame because it’s so wide.
Fond memory. Great review. 🪚
Not sure why many people call the Sebenza the finest production knife, but I have my theories. There are others that I prefer, Rockstead for one. With that said, while I agree with and respect your opinion on the knife, the price is mostly determined in this case by the production quality. The Sebenza is an exceedingly simple knife, but it is also exceedingly well made. I have 2 Sebenzas, and both are absolutely perfect in every way. Almost every Spyderco I have ever purchased has had in perfections to it. Bladeplay and off center blade in my Para 2, same in my Military. I even got a Resilience with a grind that was waaaay off. The smooth deployment of the Sebenza isn't meant to be fast, but as you mentioned, just smooth. They call it a bank vault feel. This is intentional. When I first got my Sebenza, I was also underwhelmed, but with time, and especially after collecting a few more (ok, a lot more) knives, I grew to appreciate the quality of the Sebenza more and more. If I had to change one thing, it would be that damn thumb stud. Why they made it come to a point is beyond me. Great review!
Side note: If you do try out a Hinderer or Strider kniife next, don't expect much. Nice designs, but execution ain't all that. ZT makes better Hinderers than Hinder does.
+Rob Adams to me there's nothing that exciting about those knives... they're too heavy for me to drop that kind of money on. I mean I don't hate heavy knives- but if I'm paying a few hundred bucks for something it's gotta be something I don't mind carrying at work.
The Sebenza is nice... I don't see any problems with it on close inspection... but my PM2 is like that too- great blade centering and no QC issues either. I'm definitely not the guy to take a microscope to the blade though- so it's possible the Sebenza isn't made for me... but as evidenced by all the threads I peruse on the internet- there is a market for perfectionists.
I am a fan of the design of both Hinderer and Strider knives, but the quality just isn't there, not for the price they are asking. Especially Strider, IMO.
I really like my Sebenza. It is a different kind of knife than what Spyderco makes, and it's appeal is basically the build quality. While I do appreciate the minimalism to a degree, the design is nothing to get excited about. I do tend to nitpick fit and finish issues a bit much, which is likely why knives such as the Sebenza appeal to me.
Have you had any quality issues with your Benchmades? I have had 3 Benchmade knives, all of which were very poorly made. I like the design of the 940, but hard to drop that much money on a knife that will likely be far less than perfect.
I have seen some uneven grinds... centering has all been pretty good for me though. Deployment and lock up are good... and they usually come pretty sharp. Again though, I don't inspect them in super detail. I check for centering, lockup, and then just use them. Never had any deployment issues, or anything like that either.
You just made my day!
Thanks man!
I'm a fan. I love the Hollow grind they put on them. I've had mine for years but i don't really hard use it. Glad to see it performs. I know its advertised to be a knife that can last, and perform anywhere in the world no matter what kind of conditions it's in. I would love to see someone use their's next to the ocean and see how it holds up around salt water.
2 years late but i've used mine for years in a salty environment in New Zealand, and for fishing and other things. completely fine as long as you rinse it in fresh water at the end of the day. a good thing about using grease, not oil + an open design is that you can just put it into a bowl of warm soapy water and shake it to wash. dont need to dissasemble that often
Haha I own a Sebenza but I love you're review.I got one used for 300 bucks I love it
Re-sale? Come on Give Away to meeeeeee!!! I couldn't ever come to buy one, but glad you did and gave a honest review. I'll stick with my 940.
+Brian Robinson sounds like a great choice to me!
my boss just got me a small sebenza 31 in boomerang damascus and box elder burl inlays. Definitely a great birthday gift that ill have no reason not to use
Good and interesting video. Last knife I bought was a large sebenza 21 with micarta inlays. But I stil prefer to carry my 940 (I own also a Para 2).
I carry both of those knives more.
No mention of the Land you just reviewed? I picked up the stonewash version and love it!
+Cory Frost maybe I'll do a video where I beat up on that one a bit more and compare them.
Fixed blade or axe. I don't think you get what you're really supposed to use. :) You are a brave man. Super cool video. Oddly enough, I may be closer to buying one after the batoning.
+Jimislash as long as you do it in moderation it should be just fine.
I hope CR watches YT vids about how awesome his knives are, and somehow stumbles across this gem ;)
It's an OK knife, but it's no Ganzo.
+EjaculationSniper I know, right!
Dude... it's hard to touch the quality of a ganzo
You just confirmed why I need a large 21. This knife is the reason I don’t own high end folders. I have to get it 1st and then I’d not want any other also. I see the value in the simplicity along with it being a family owned and ran company. Add the fact that Chris even bothered to care enough to co create the steel.
I could feel the ants on me in my office.......
+Tovarish Works ant phobia?
Not a phobia but I did have an incident with a red ant hill when I was a young kid so maybe that's part of it. Not a fan of bugs. Glad to hear someone else feels 'meh' about the Sebby too though. Good vid!
+Tovarish Works I'm allergic to red ants...
08:30 all the ants are freaking out.
nice review.
Nice review. I got my first Benchmade last week (940-2) and I love it! "seh-ben-zah" hahaha, I laughed at that. Was that from the 9103 video?
+Cole Constantinoff yep!
You don't strike me as someone who would care about the labor standards and quality of life based on what you subject your viewers to.
No, I'm completely joking. I felt like coming up with something mean to say and that's what I ended up with. I love this channel and while I don't take the reviews too seriously I absolutely appreciate the detail and work you put into the quality of your filming and writing. They're both entertaining and catch the eye immedietly. You should really find a different market for reviews. There are a lot of weirdos who buy too many knives but you could be the Advanced Technology Bro and have 500k subs with less effort than you're doing now.
Do whut now?
Thanks for doing what I would never bring myself to ever do to any of my Sebenza's...baton. I'd do about everything else with them, but knowing there is a difference in softness between steel and titanium I would never baton with the Sebenza. Thanks for the great videos...carry on! Love the carbon fiber on that Sebenza!!! She's a beaut...I cringed with every strike of that baton. LMAO
The titanium held up much better than I thought... but repeated spine whacks on a harder wood, does (logically) have long term effects. I basically try to get people to watch my videos through a combination of unexpected things, good editing, and jokes.
Goddamit Bro, I thought we spoke about the batoning part!
JK, another great video, cheers!
I think I need help!
Crazy what you did to a $500.00 knife!!!!!!
You’re a better man than I mister.
After this video I subscribed!
im doing my part
It would be a nice safe queen for me :) thanks for sharing your opinions
Well the lock held up very well, a lot better than in the cold steel lock strength testing. Good video.
One thing to note... I’ve seen those videos. Those weights are well beyond any scenario that these knives would encounter. Cold steel locks are built above and beyond what most people would need. It’d be like if cold steel built an armored car... and shot it with an RPG. Then shot a regular car with a 5 star crash rating with one. The Cold steel would survive, but the regular car wouldn’t. Do regular people need armored cars? Nothing wrong with Cold Steel overbuilding locks... but at what point is too much too much?
Advanced Knife Bro
Thanks for the reply. That’s a good analogy about the cars. I love cold steel and think it is awesome that they have approached fixed blade strength with their ingenious lock design. That being said, of course it’s overkill for a folder, however having a voyager in your pocket that you could successfully process firewood with is pretty badass. Anyway, on those videos the sebenza did awful, I think it failed the weight hang at 25lbs, which I don’t understand. I have tried to close mine with as much hand pressure as I could muster and the lock didn’t budge (hands out of the way of course.) Never batoned through firewood though lol. I think you’re one of the only youtubers to demonstrated the lock strength of the sebenza.
Shit, it was only 25? I dunno. There may be some advantage to batoning, because there’s always a force working against the baton- the wood. I have no idea why anyone would need to baton with a sebenza, but at least mine held up.
Deeper into the knife rabbit hole
Ahhh at last we come to the Sebenza. This was inevitable I suppose. And yet another honest knife reviewer arrives at the conclusion that it's pretty good, pretty boring, and grossly overpriced. Gonna pick up an xm-18 next? Or a strider sng? You know it's the next logical step. I do look forward to your take on those, but mostly I'd rather see some more wacky fun with budget imports or other high speed low drag tactical gear being put through its paces by an advanced operator AKB!
+marshalllaw123 no more knives more than $455 for me. I don't see any value in them... unless of course they're donated to me. NO effing way am I paying $475 for knives weighing over 4 ounces. The sebenza killed the high end "pocket knife" thing for me. Again- if someone sends me free ones, I'd reconsider my no review policy.
Advanced Knife Bro if nothing else, it's an excellent object to illustrate the concept of diminishing returns, amirite?
+marshalllaw123 basically yes!
Striders done there shutting down look it up there getting hard to find
Strider is outta business cause they suck and ppl figured that out. And sabenza isn't overpriced. No one that buys custom knives would say it is
thank you
And your mixing up smooth and free.
+Sour wait people give these away?
I know I’m a little late to this party, but you have to break it in to get the smoothness. I guarantee you would think different if you did. Takes a while. Also the lock will seedin place as it breaks in making the lock stronger. Just being a know it all. Can’t help myself. Awesome videos!
It's ok, but still didn't really break in like my other knives. If say my 940-1 and PM2 break in fairly easy and not my Sebenza, why should I give it slack? Because I paid more?
Advanced Knife Bro yeah pretty much. But those famous tolerances that cr is known for require a break in period. I have 2 pm2 and 2 940. They are favorites of mine. They are free blades. Not smooth really. Kind of. It’s just not a fair comparison really. I think if you give it time you will see. Take it apart clean it a few times. There are reasons why it is so popular. It just doesn’t have the fidget factor of the pm2 or 940.
I'll bet you that the pm2 and 940 perform just as well. If I win, I get the beat up pm2. If you win, you get a new pm2 in s110v. You're on your own for the 940.
I love your videos and screw your haters
It handled that batoning abuse well enough, but I've had similar thoughts about the value of these knives. They are good, but about 50% more expensive than what I'm reluctantly comfortable with to pay for a good knife that'll last long.
I've been close to considering to buy one of them with both sides titatium handle in the past. But since I had the luxery of handling a few in a store and comparing first impressions side by side my preference went to a Benchmade 940 at the time (the standard green aluminium one in CPM s30v).
Both that one and the recent replacement 940-1 felt like they were worth the money. I do know that some people claim to occasionally have issues with Benchmade knives that the grind is uneven, not centered and things like that. However considering I was able to handle both knives and give them a quick inspection I that wasn't a concern to me.
Knives can be badly centered out of the factory but I've also seen it happen a few times to due to the pivot not being tight enough. Either just due to use or intentionally to make them easier to open, haven't seen a badly centered benchmade so far other than the pivot tightening issue. I've probably had about 5-7 owned by others in my hands at times because people asked me to sharpen them and then my own two (940 and 940-1).
+Extra stuff I agree about the 940s... a knife that feels worth the money. I didn't quite pay the full 940 price... but I still paid in the high hundreds. The Sebenza is nice, but it doesn't have the fun factor of those other two knives.
For that type of money it better be able to put up with some cutting and mild hits by wood
I had to leave @ 8:30-8:40. I couldn't witness the abuse of such a Rolex of a knife. Luv your narration and humor though man. Keep it up!
+stoffi if only a Rolex was comprised of about 10 pieces! Thanks man
At the moment I would be happy to be able to buy a Sebanza!
In EU there are non at all for sale since 2months!
I have the carbon fiber wave pattern 21 .doesn't have any markings but d2 on the blade ( 58-60 hrc ) $45.00 .it is much lighter !
Mine is faster to deploy than this one and you can drop the blade ( after some tuning ) bent the pocket clip into the inkosi angle !
I love my sebenza. It’s a great knife and it’s in my top 4 with my para 2 s35vn, my griptillian g10 and of course my 940-2. Your right 400+ for a pocket, I mean folder is a little much, but I bought mine “used” and now it’s getting the “spa treatment”. (I’m picturing my knife in a hot tub or getting a back rub with cucumber slices over it little eyes)
Slicing delicate cucumbers is an excellent sebenza task. Whatever you do, don’t baton!
Yeah, CR knives are pricey. I played with a Sebenza when they first came out, but didn't like it's action feel and large size. A few months ago I wanted to try a smaller knife, so I bought a lightly used small Inkosi Insingo. It was $315 in the box with the usual stuff. Unfortunately it feels cramped and uncomfortable with all of the points, finger groove and the frame lock's edges and corners. I also prefer an easier opening knife. So, It's in the cabinet with all the others that didn't make it to the pocket brigade. Keep banging on those knives!
What a great erreverant Chris Reeve rewiew. I don't really get the position that Reeves holds in the knife world. Nice knife but $400 worth? Like many knife owners, I really don't listen when Chris Reeve speaks.
i wanna know how well the lock and blade fares in a torture stabbing test, because that's how it would be used in a self defense situation.
Ok buy one and post your results.
When Cold Steel did that stupid comparison to the Sebenza on their channel that was the final point in deciding to get a sebenza. Also on deciding which brand not to buy as they are clearly focus on things that aren't really important.
Their channel is stupid knife tricks... it helps inspire me a little. But yeah... their smack talk lock reviews are ridiculous. I have to fast forward because they go on too long.
I think I unsbscribed from the channel because the comparisons to better knives that had "normal" locks und could only hold 250 lbs just angered me. But the Sebenza is a special one because you can see on his face that he's not happy doing this and that he's kind of embarrased to do this to CR.
I actually prefer my military over my paramilitary 2, but my favorite is the benchmade 551-1
+Justin Koop id love it if they released a military with a compression lock
Was that the Pocket Cinema Camera?
+sticktodrum yep... I shoot my flashlight videos with that and my knife reviews with the Panasonic G7
Haha. My first thought was "flicking a Sebenza open on camera is gonna get you in trouble."
+Brad Hutchison oh yeah...
I've wanted one of the cf versions for a wile but college comes first
+the central avenue gunslinger yeah... way more important
You mentioned fixed blades and hatchets as more suitable for batoning. I suggest if you must baton with a folding knife just unlock the blade and then baton the blade. Why damage a lock that wasn't made for such abuse? There is no need for a blade to be locked when driving it into wood with a hammering blow. Nice video.
+Joe P hmm... I don't see how that would work- but noted.
Just try it sometime. You do it exactly the same way as if the blade was locked. It works and it is easy.
Were any ants harmed, during the filming of this $455 knife review video?
+Steve Kluver I can't say for certain... I went out to shoot it, and ants had made their home on my wood beating pile. I needed to shoot it, so hopefully they all got out the way
Oh hey its the Seboingzo. Pretty cool.
This video was epic
Is it just me or did the detent ball fall out? In the close up of the lock it looks like it’s missing.
If you like that knife youll love the sanrenmu land 9103&4 and the 910 .
Ha ha!
