    I’ll always love the crossbar lock and Benchmade for bringing us the axis lock. I do prefer the compression lock but the axis lock is an undeniably safe and even fun locking mechanism. Now I have had two omega springs break, one was simply from the spring’s bottom curve rubbing on the scale until it became too thin and cracked. The other was due to a combination of rubbing on the scale and a bit of corrosion. The other “negative” I’ve found with most crossbar locks is that some of them don’t operate that well with gloves on, although the manix 2 is excellent even with gloves on.

      All locks have a downside, and the springs would be the downside for crossbar locks. But when you balance that against its other attributes like its strength, ease of actuation, and ambidextrous nature, it's still a great lock for a pocketknife. I've never broken an omega spring, and when I do, I'll fix it and go on with life. For me, the potential inconvenience of a broken spring is worth enduring for all the good attributes of a crossbar lock.

      ABSOLUTELY, only reason they move so many products is becaus of all the bigger channels that will open the box and say how great the knife is without even using it so they continue to get free knives, affiliate link uses and YT clicks Go back a year or more and listen to how all those larger "every knife they open is great and you should buy it channels" and listen to them praising rpm9 and how great it is because of it being a "budget powder steel" then go back to their videos that the posted as soon as Larrin tested rpm9 and said it wasn't a powder steel but was rather a spray form steel and watch how quickly they turn on it and say that it wasn't a very good steel then the shitstorm blew over and and they was right back to "reviewing" 20 different cjrb knives a week and saying again how great they are for the money and how you should buy them. Civivi 9cr is done much better than cjrb rpm9 and it shows in performance big time. Rpm9 hasnt brought anything to the table in performance that decently dine 9cr hasnt, it just gives the company and the "reviewers" a Stat that they can claim makes it better than ingot 9cr so they sell more knives but in reality take some decently done 9cr like Civivi does it and in use directly compare it to rpm9 and at worst there will be no difference that you can distinguish and on average the civivi 9cr will out perform it but a decent bit. I'll take decently done 9cr from sencut/Civivi and a couple other companies that do it pretty decently over rpm9 any day of the week just because the heat treatment cjrb doesn't isn't very good and the steel composition it's self isn't anything special. It really was funny watching all those bigger channels back peddle when Larrin called out that it wasn't a powder steel and they had been speaking of how great it performs and why it's so special for the money for like 2 years and BOOM as soon as it was known it wasn't a powder steel theh was instantly trashing it until the crap storm blew over that then right back to shilling it... Only a handful of people stood by what they said and kept saying they think it's a good steel like they had said before and with them being right or wrong aside I at least respected the couple channels (no bigger channels all fairly small that stood by what they said like Mike emler) that stood by what they said about it before Larrin came out with that video. Clowns like metalcomplex just did what the community wanted.. Oh it's great it's a powder steel you can get for 30-60dollsrs in many models and it's so good you have to buy every model I show and did that for years then started trashing cjrb when Larrin came out with that video because the community was mad and him being mad pulled in clicks and 3 weeks later once it was getting swept under the rug and people had other things to complain about and then he was right back to shilling cjrb.. It's sad, oh buddy it's sad and people watch them like God's and aren't smart enough to understand that they are just telling you it's great so they keep getting those link clicks and free knives keep pouring in.. That man knows less about knives than my wife does and she isn't even really in to knives very much. Yet people listen to him like he is a folding knife god and look up to him because he has all these ultra high end knives that 90% of them are given to him and he has no personal investment in.

You see, every time I do this to a folding knife, there is always a Darren comment: “that’s what fixed blades are for” So here you go: a fixed blade advertised as hiking/camping knife FAILING a simple pry on a dead tree. Benchmade sold you a piece of junk dressed up as a knife and now you know. You should be angry. At them.

    BAERSKIN is farcebrand. They make you think you're getting a true tactical product that breaks wind and is water resistant "repels" as their commercial says... My 2.0 has a wimpy front zipper that pops open at random times and I've noticed some seams that are beginning to open up. I've washed and treated mine with the Nikwax system, that helps to repel water a little better, snow really, not rain. I'll never spend the money they want for the 4.0 especially because it probably only costs them about $9.00 to make because they are made in Chyyyyyna.

    I am really glad you made this video. I own the baerskin 2.0 as much as I like it, it pisses me off just as much. The front zipper is crap, they have upgraded to a better one since with the current 4.0, but crap, I'm not spending $90 to get a new one for just the zipper. This other brand you are showing has my interest. If I order it, it will be with your affiliate link. Thanks
