    I have one and I love it. I have a lot of folders and this is my favorite. I like it so much I bought 3 of the real ones after the import. I don’t know why, but it is. I find it easy to deploy, great feel and control, and the finger hole is the best part. I don’t ever use self-defense knives for utility tasks, so, not being able to cut through cardboard like butter doesn’t matter.. you should just get a thin razor for that. Lastly, all folders are a compromise, want a real “tactical” knife, get a fix blade like the clinch pick from shivworks.

  • @DShiflet01
    @DShiflet01 6 років тому +15

    The design looks like it's meant for close quarters cutting in combat(similar to the Ka-Bar TDI or Spyderco Yojimbo), but the deployment just makes it poorly suited for that sort of situation which, well, kinda leaves this thing without a real role.

    • @BROUSBLADES
      @BROUSBLADES 6 років тому +5

      It takes a few tries to get used to the flipper, it was actually a mistake when we first designed it but once we tried to push button technique it works extremely well, almost like an automatic.

    • @BROUSBLADES
      @BROUSBLADES 6 років тому +5

      The rattle is coming from the stop pin, normally stop pins have pressure on them from the blade being closed but if you look closely at the design we use a secondary stop inside the backspacer.

  • @bearellie6985
    @bearellie6985 Рік тому

    It has a really cool look to it.
    My EDC is a Kershaw Outlier, which I use everyday at work cutting cardboard and the likes.
    Appreciate your time and efforts on the video.
    As for the self defense aspect, you can defend yourself with a ballpoint pen if need be.
    So I would say this puppy would have no problem with any of the close to the surface major arteries.
    Keep up the good work!

    I got this Brous Blades Silent Soldier import and it sucked!!! When I got mine from BladeHQ I noticed an issue straight out of the box, the issue was that the bearings rattled loudly when you shook the knife!!! I was very noticeable and annoying, so I returned it to BladeHQ!!! Also look at the hole in the blade that you put your finger through which is a Brous signature design. There's actually not that much steel between the edge of the hole and the actual cutting edge. So if you lay the edge back to make this knife more of a slicer and then eventually sharpen it a few times there would be even less steel. Was not a fan of the design and the overall quality!!!

    Personally, I don't carry a pocket knife for defensive purposes so this looks like it fits the profile of someone who just want a little cutting tool for slicing packing tape, blister packs etc. Just grabbed one for $49. Will probably end up in the knife case since the Mini Bodega always seems to find its way into my pocket. Great review!

    I have the 1st release of the original Silent Soldier. It doesn’t have the finger guard and it cut me, lol. My bad but I am glad he changed the design near the blade. I do notice the handle...it really, really, changes the way the knife presents in the hand. I don’t like it.

    Not everyone is buying a knife to use as a tool. I agree that the SSF doesn’t necessarily “make sense”, but that doesn’t negate the fact that it’s super cool... and that is why I bought an original and an import. In fact, I don’t use any of the cool knives in my collection. When I need a knife, I use that exact Husky utility blade and an old Buck fixed blade.

  • @ThomasConnolly

    The rumor is that all of Jason Brous's knifes are made in China, and I truly believe it!! Also I got a few years ago some of Jason Brous's knives and I was really not happy!!! I had pre-ordered The Brous Bionic 2.0 through Jason Brous's website. First off the Bionic 2.0 I got had a wide triangle flat spot at the heel of the blade which was very ugly and it triggered me. Because of that triangle flat spot you loose the last quarter-half inch or so of the cutting edge. Secondly the liner lock itself was not only very thin, but had about as much lock up as a single piece of phone book paper. The liner lock when full engaged was basically on a hair trigger and could be easily disengaged with a slight movement of your hand, which was very very dangerous!!! So I email Brous Blades, in which Jason's wife works as customer service rep at that time and was responding to me via email. In my email I told her my Bionic 2.0 was unsave because the liner lock had barely any lock up(as much as a a piece of phone book paper). She then responded via email "This is how are knives are made and if you wanted a different level of lock up you should have contacted us first." She then said there are no refunds. So she basically said that having their liner locks on their knives lock up as much as a piece of phone book paper is their standard. I was thinking to myself so you intentionally make your liner lock knives in a manner that clearly unsafe and dangerous!!! That just put a bad taste in my mouth and was a huge turn off, also how snippy Jason's wife was with me was very unprofessional and rude.

    • @BROUSBLADES
      @BROUSBLADES 6 років тому +2

      99% of our customer base requests early lock up. All our locks are tested before shipping out so we would never send an unsafe lock to someone. Even if somehow the lock were to disengage the flipper tab is designed to keep the blade from collapsing on your fingers. We apologize about our customer service we have since hired a new customer service team and would gladly help in anyway way we can. Our shop number is 805-691-9622

    • @ThomasConnolly
      @ThomasConnolly 6 років тому +1

      Early lock up is an understatement!!! The lock up on the Brous Bionic 2.0 I got had about as much lock up as a piece of phone book paper!!! The liner lock had such a small about of lockup, it basically locks up on a hair trigger!!! Because of that the liner lock disengaged very easily with slight hand movement, which is clearly unsafe!!! Actually I did cut myself, because the blade on the Bionic 2.0 that I have did disengage while I was using it which startled me and that caused me to bobble the knife in my hand so when the blade did close half way I cut the base of the thumb on my right hand, thank god the cut was not that serious!!! I still have that Bionic 2.0. I never sold it or gave it away because it's clearly an unsafe knife and I could not knowingly give another person something that would cause them to get injured!!!

    • @ThomasConnolly
      @ThomasConnolly 6 років тому

      There's a clear difference between having early lockup and unsafe lockup!! I prefer early lock up, but having lockup as much as a thin piece of phone book paper is unacceptable lock up because it puts the liner lock on a hair trigger, which is very dangerous!!!
