I carried a lightning otf for 5 year before it finally broke. I abused the crap out of it too. We furnish larger commercial buildings like schools and hotels so we have to open and cut up hundreds of cardboard boxes. The knife was used buy everyone, dropped, step on, and ran over. Before it finally gave out, the serrations on the blade were almost worn away and it looked battle worn 😂. I purchased a new lighting elite because I was so impressed with how well the old one held up.
I have the smaller version of the Lightning. Going on my 2nd year and hasn't failed once. I have a Cobra Tech I paid $75 for and it has failed me miserably.
Look at the Cobra tech lightweight. And tell me that that isn't the exact same knife as a lightning Elite same pocket clip same dimensions all they did was make a D2 blade for it and put their outside design on it. But I can tell you right now I'm not spending $88 plus shipping or whatever it is just to check it out I'll go with my lightning and my lightning elites.
It's not like I'm out cutting a moose every week!!
@CaptDavesSportfishing I'm looking at getting a full size Lightning. Just have to decide on what blade format.
@@tomcat8983 dagger blades are useless for EDC go with a drop point straight edge. I Knife sharpen for customers, and won't do any Dagger blades.
"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - 5/26/2023 MY NEWEST EDC PART 1 THE S.O.S. OTF KNIFE. 📌""part 2 coming soon" Sharpening, take apart, how I carry, etc. ......LET'S GO FISHIN' www.captdaves.com
Originally I attempted to post a comment that was longer than this will be. for some reason it didn't show. What I wanted to say is, I actually prefer a mid grade steel like Aus8. So easy to sharpen, and For me personally I can spend a lot less time as opposed to sharpening "super steel" Am I correct if I say a drop point in one hand and a clip point in the other?
oh yeah I'd really like to have a clip point or a bowie shape. I saw a few as I perused around the internet for hours but I wasn't really all that impressed with the handle shape. boker makes an OTF with a nice clip point style blade. and of course that used to be Aus8
and now it's D2. with the Kalashnikov handle style. the price went through the roof. it seems like a year ago you could get them for a hundred bucks. but not anymore. and then I think we're right back to a cast aluminum handle.
My lighting is the older Aus8 japan model. I've had it for years.
Personally I'm not a fan of Chinese D2.
My lighting doesn't have the two tone blade.
From what I've seen microtech doesn't run their steel very hard. They use m390 and 20cv Rockwell at like 58 which is very soft.
@@richardhenry1969 I'm not a fan either. But D2 is the main stream budget steel. Really doesn't matter, I can keep it sharp enough for my use. Never ever seen a lightning with any steel designation. LOVE MY LIGHTNING ELITE. it may not stay sharp after cutting a bunch of rope or plastic. But it has a special place in my EDC
Like the video n that gray matt looks like the 1 in back of my 94 ranger!!!!
Most knives made in Taiwan are using aus 8 aus 10 steel ...my demko freereign is aus 10 I've never heard them being budget steels ...I just bought a sos tanto otf and it broke on me the first day I had to take it apart and fix it also had to sharpen it right out of the box so definitely not worth 99$
YEP, I LIKE AUS8 I SENT MINE BACK. TO ME A LIGHTNING FROM TAIWAN OR EVEN A CHINA LIGHTNING WAS BETTER!! SEE VIDEO PART 2, ua-cam.com/video/eIgiKqEIlz0/v-deo.htmlsi=_nTcLDTNHtqAO5aB SENT MINE BACK TOO.
I think the SOS is an easy Lightning killer, which is a Chinese knife as well btw. Seen the cheap aluminum diecast body of the lightning break with very some light batoning, not something you might ever find yourself doing, but the milled aluminum body SOS breezed it and was then hammered through a 2x4 with no issues. Lightnings are just kids first otf trash.
SENT both SOS KNIVES BACK!!! MISFIRED too much and the TWANG sound sucked!!! For 2.5 times the cost of a Lightning Elite, it surely wasn't worth it. For me. I'm not batoning, I'm not bushcrafting. Don't care if its Die Cast. I'll never test the strength.
When I find an otf drop point in magnacut I'm buying it. That Chinese D2 will rust really fast, especially on the boat
no issues with other d2. rather it ''not'' be d2. but it's one of the best deals out there for the price. yeah thats a dream for $99 a magnacut OTF.
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing I know it definitely will cost more than D2, you can get $15 knives with D2 these days. If it's gonna be Chinese I prefer 14c28n, it's the only steel they can heat treat properly on a mass scale. I don't mind American made cpm-d2 as far as edge retention but still for something like an otf that's enclosed and living in Florida it'll rust even with a coating but not as fast as carbon steel
Blade ops....ak auto knives ...bladeHQ ...all have them in stock
Have you tried any guardian tactical knives? Not cheap,but very smooth and i really think you would like the handle
I have 2. One Blade show custom, and one regular: ua-cam.com/video/21Xs9K32hbY/v-deo.html Plus a Heretic Collosus: ua-cam.com/users/shortsvjGI4nTu30w
The black coating wore off my lightning elite super fast, seems to be painted enamel. Have to keep them oiled to prevent rust but a hair too much oil and it'll fail
WATCH PART 2 COMING SOON......its all how ya carry it. NEVER had a fail ever.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing try putting too much oil on it😁
@@SimonRiley115 I don't use 'oils' on my OTF's. Dry lubes only.
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing yeah I use Wicked Wax, it's a mixture of bee's wax and KPL Knife Shield, just suggesting to show you the lightning will fail if it isn't perfectly clean
@@CaptDavesSportfishinghey man I'm gonna subscribe to your chanel but do you do lots of videos?? Do you think you could do one like where you have both a Benchmade real one and a clone of the same knife and take them both apart and put back together?? I'd love to see it it doesn't have to be benchmade but id like to see a real and the clone version both taken apart to see the difference in the insides
Hogue makes some decent otf's for half the price of Microtech but I'd rather wait for magnacut than get their 20cv even though their hrc is low but just about everyone heat treats magnacut too low for production knives
I'm over all that steel hierarchy. Don't care any longer, not skinning a moose, or chop a tree any time soon. Cutting stuff at the house, some lines, and playin with edges. I'd rather have shit that catches big fish. OR a newer boat!!!!!
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing All in how much use you'll get out of it. It wouldn't make sense to buy 10 cheap used boats instead of one good one(unless you misuse them often lol)...same with knives. However, I have folders in every kind of steel and shape, just depends what I'm doing with them, just like they make different boats for different kinds of fishing.
@@SimonRiley115 I have a big metal one and beat the hell outa it. I'd rather sharpen, than collect these days.
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing yeah that's a nice boat but it would get stuck in some of the places I go for bass. I don't collect anything either. Do you sharpen knives for other people? Hope you didn't buy that wicked sharp for $20 knives lol
@@SimonRiley115 I'm in the black....I've PAID for the Wicked Edge with customers. And really like unique knives people drop off or send. Just did 2 weeks ago a ZT, Benchmade Osbourne, and a Spyderco for a long time YT viewer. He wanted Mirror edges so they took awhile. But knife videos including Part 1 & 2 about the SOS & Lightning go NO WHERE. Its as if you're not allowed to have another interest. People only want free fishing info. But I'm over it. I do what I want. Screw it.
Thanks for sharing, never heard of SOS, (ShatOnTheShingles?😂) but looks like an Aliexpress special branded for double the price. I have a milled aluminum otf with frag pattern and D2 I got for $42, gave my lightning elite to a friend. The lightning is probably the best otf for the price but for a little more you can still find better
''SAVE OUR SHIP'' I refuse to give my info to a security site, for secure payments to chy-na, and i'm not using my credit card. So, for the so called ''security factor'', Im buying from USA retails and am willing to pay more (at this point) to let them do the foot work. No one ever heard of SOS....reason I have a call in to bladeops. Unfortunately its a holiday weekend.
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing That's what PayPal is for, so you don't have to give random websites your info. If a website doesn't take PayPal I won't bother. I don't use Fakebook or Instaspam for that same reason but still not sure which is worse, China having your info or the US government 😆. I mean the so called "elite" all want the same thing right, China always was the NWO model for the globalists. Pretenemies
What is a sos ? Is it a brand ? Please don't tell me sog changed there name
@JonathanDawson-uo7jm 🤷♂️ definitely not same as SOG , they do like to use names close to other companies though
Your Microtech took awhile to sell because it was a used collector's knife. China would still be making gas station knives if they hadn't stolen the technology from us
MY Microtech was in superior condition as is everything I own. Plus had a waaaaaaaaay better edge than factory. Thats for sure. Never heard back, so I guess the guy was happy. He also bought a LUDT, new in the box from me. So he knew I wasn't selling clones or crap.
@Capt Dave's Sport Fishing yeah I looked at it, it was nice but wasn't perfect. Collectors want perfect
@@SimonRiley115 no more collecting for me, used to have dozens of buck 110's of all styles. that'll drive ya straight to the poor house and fast. Now, I just like sharpening and messin around with inexpensive EDC knives. This SOS IS RADICALLY EXPENSIVE FOR ME THESE DAYS ❗❗
