The whole package on this knife is exactly what I want. I saw your short on this knife last night and bought one immediately. I’ve never heard of Station 9 before and I normally don’t buy knives without looking into the company first. However, I went to their website and saw this was going for $80 and had to grab it. I’m glad you gave it some positives bc I was worried it might get bashed in the review.
No bash here, it's a solid performer! 👊 Don't forget to check out the podcast interview of the owner as well. You'll get a lot of really good background!
I did the exact same thing... Exactly what I was also looking for!!!
I own 4 Station IX knives and the chop sticks. Each product they sell is purpose built,and very affordable. I EDC the No. 12 & No. 9 I absolutely love them. Glad to see you got one for a review, and liked it as much as I do. Also I carried the same Spyderco Endura 4 in VG10 for 18 years as a wildland firefighter. I still have it today, and it’s just been a solid knife that I could always count on. In my experience VG10 is a dependable steel for hard use
That's a lot of great experience! 👍 Thanks! 🗡️👊
Col. Rex Applegate said a knife 'fixed blade' should be heavier slightly in the handle then the blade.
He has a great video on defense, that was made before his passing. It's on You Tube and the old guy
knew weapons.
Thanks for the info! 🗡️👍👊
Ordered it after seeing your preview! The knife, checked ALL of my boxes and just seeing it on you channel, was all the reason I needed! So were at two for two with you TOS. First, that excellent Two Sun TS 518 and now, the Number 12 Undercover!!! "Thank you"!!! :)
You're welcome! Enjoy! 👊🗡️👍
Dave was so excited about the beyond EDC night horse I only got about 3-4 minutes into his review before I paused, purchased it and went back and finished the review. This has happened more than once😅😅😅
Thank you, I'll be getting one of these as soon as possible! I will feel much better carrying this than one of my more expensive customs. Nice knives are nice but I wouldn't feel so bad losing one of these or having to surrender it to the authorities if I ever used it in self-defense.
I'm glad you liked the review, it's a great option! 👊
This knife is probably one of the best that I own. Perfect grip and a wicked blade. Perfect size. Also amazing price. Great retention on the sheath as well.
yes, pikal grip......very good
Great video review 👍. Damn this blade is wicked. ❤
Glad you liked it! 👍 Highly recommended!
the time has come for Pikal style, really good
Grande Giuliano, anche io ora sono passato al tuo Pikal, tanta roba 👍
@OGBladeReviews you should definitely check out the Fox Pikal, designed by the gentlemen above. In my opinion it's the best folding pkal blade hands down, it even beats many fixed ones, and it's also cheap, you'll love it :)
I'll see if I can get ahold of one. Tier1 Gear Reviews has one, I believe....
@@OGBladeReviews that would be awesome, I always appreciate your reviews. By the way it's also the absolute favorite folder of the Italian guy who tested the 001. I know that because he was actually the one who introduced it to me👍
🗡️🙏🗡️
Very good purposeful design knife , and I like it too. 👍
I saw your UA-cam short on this blade the other day. I pulled the trigger right then and there, your channel is wreaking havoc on my knife budget😂. Thank you for introducing me to such a bad ass design!
😁🗡️👊
Thanks for bringing this knife and brand to our attention. I will check it out. Thanks again.
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it! 👍
This knife is pretty sweet. Normally not my style at all, but this one is tempting to have for last ditch self defense.
Definitely! 👊🗡️👍
Ok that T'kell sheath is a game changer for me I've never seen a tensioner like that before😱I have put my own Chicago screw tensioners on about half of my kydex. Top of the sheath blade side but where exactly do you drill the hole has always been some concern. It never occurred to me to have a slot so that I can move it up and down. Now I'm going to Ace and go nuts in the nuts department trying to figure out the thumb screw?🤔🥴🥴 I am soon to modify some kydex. Man I just love this channel.
Thanks and enjoy! 🙏🗡️👊
Great review Dave, I really like the look of the knife , I love the serrated top edge.
Thanks for the watch! I really like that feature too 👍
Looks like a great value and a wicked “Bastinelli-ish” design. Thanks for the thorough review as always.
It’s a total steal for the quality and design. 🗡️👊👍
Very good blade with great belly and affordable VG-10 steel.Last month I use my Boker with VG-10 steel almost every day and doesn't get dull.
Very nice! 🗡️👊🗡️
Very nice Persian style blade , and the serration like cuts on the top of the blade
will make a awfully mean backcut. That's a real knife combat users piece.
👍
Okay I can't believe this knife is only $80 😱 I love it. So often I see knives I want and they have high-end steel that I cannot afford. I do not need great edge retention for a once in 10 lifetimes fight that is going to last seconds not minutes (only after they catch me 😡)
You get a lot of value for the money with this one! 👍
TOS, it came in today. What a "nasty" weapon!!! You've got some big mits cause it's bigger in my hands than yours! Completely and totally satisfied with this impulse buy! From its size to its function to its PRICE, it's damn near perfect!!! Thanks...
It is a beast! 🗡️👊
Perfect, ordered, thanks!
Hope you enjoy it! 👊🗡️👍
That’s a scary looking knife. Love it!
Yup, all business! 👍🗡️👊
That is very nice!
This channel is so dangerous to my wallet! I've been wanting a reasonable priced small "Persian style" knife for quite some time. I think this blade type reflects centuries of refining a lot of knife in a small package. If one doesn't abuse the knife this is a practical utility design for cutting rope and line as well as light slicing. If I need more than that I'll use a different tool.
Totally agree there's a lot of knife for the dollar here!
@OGBladeReviews it was a easy sell to me. I've been wanting something with this profile for a while. The contenders are usually more than I want to spend on a utility tool that could get damaged. This one hit the sweet spot for design, materials, and price.
The Station IX Number 12 is a great knife in hand. Something that isn't obvious but is appreciated is that the tip of the serrated side is not sharpened. This leaves more material and reinforces the tip. This really is a practical design that can be put to a lot of utility use if one is reasonable.
Something to be aware of is that it doesn't come with a belt attachment so the user will need to provide their own. For the price, that is hardly any big deal at all.
This, but US made in magnacut, and the kydex sheath contoured on the straight-edge side. That said, sub $100 I don't think you could find a better fixed defensive EDC. Great comparisons. Thanks for putting this company on my radar.
Totally agree, it's a nice little package! 👍
These are cool knives. Do you have any idea if they are available in the EU and through which channels?
Only direct from Station IX, to my best knowledge....
@@OGBladeReviews I was finally able to order it from their French website, pretty straightforward process, can't wait to get it now! There are other French websites that have them in stock but I guess their site is the one that has all of the models and definitely the best prices. Thanks for the great review, I was unsure about getting one but your coverage of it definitely tilted the scale.
reminds me of the Bastinelli knife the Mood double edge!
That one is interesting! Looks like Bastien took the handle of the yummy and combine the blade of the foreigner with the chopper! 👍🗡️👊
@ that’s right
Greetings from Europe
🇪🇺🤝🇺🇸 We stick together.
It's hard to believe it's only $80.00!. That's a knife I can't afford not to have!
Fer sure! 🗡️👊🗡️
How does that blade compare to tkell warthog?
I have quite a few of the TKELL line but not the warthog so hard to make the compare. I like this knife and I like the price the ergoes and the blade for tactical and EDC!
@ I wonder how tkell 007 compares to compliance edge dck both look similar and have two edges
Every idea is inspired by some other idea and whatever works will be repeated.
pikal style .....the best
Quite true! Also, we do have a collective archetype human memory base, we're just not often aware of it! 👍🗡️👊
We could say both copied the Cold Steel Talwar ,😊 LOL
yeah the blade style has been around for centuries. 🎯
And all knives are Cold Steel when capable of being a weapon.
👍🗡️👍
Looks like a pocket fixy to me.
Thank. You for sharing i just ordered one can’t beat that price
Enjoy it! 👊🗡️👍
The Tkell warthog is most similar to this one
True, just a bit smaller, as I recall....
Made in China?
Yes!
The US Post Office will always screw you up every time you really want something right away.
A knife I ordered from White Mountain shipped all the way to California before coming back to New York 2 weeks later.
Been there a few times, But usually White Mountain stuff gets to me very quickly and regularly... 👍
