I have the TPT slide with the pocket clip. Really like it thus far and it’s perfect for the watch pocket. I had forgotten how effective a utility blade could be, as you put more pressure at the tip, vs further back on a recurve blade. I’m not carrying my folder as much. Relegated the silly fork thing to the junk drawer. Much more willing to abuse the utility blade as i have a backup by flipping the blade. If I destroy it, it’s just $1/blade. I showed it to a tactical focused coworker with full disclosure on price... now he wants one. Build quality is very good and tight: an internal magnet absorbs rattle and the slider nubbin tension can be adjusted with a lever spring. There are other options out there at prices higher or lower. But I don’t see what the fuss is all about for something milled out of titanium sold by an American company. Particularly when some folks spend $$$$ for a boutique folder.
I quite like mine. It is a bit more expensive than it's worth (I'd feel better at $40 or so), but it's a much better option functionally and economically than the Rexford RUT that defined the market niche. Most of the people who get these things are A) into titanium and exclusive gadgets, and B) carry a really nice knife and would prefer to have disposable blades around for abusive tasks. This isn't really marketed toward the general populace; if you aren't super crazy about high end materials, features, and fit/finish, a $10 Gerber EAB is sufficient.
Found who's making the rut and its from Ali express
So great to see an EDC video that gives a fair review and actually factors in to insane price.
I bought one of these when ITS first offered them. I carry it everyday and have been happy with it. The fact is that titanium is expensive. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for sometimes. For me, it's light and takes up almost no room in my pocket. Also keeps my defensive blade from getting dulled opening boxes. To each his own, I respect your opinion.
I bought one ,It
was Exactly what I wanted, Keep my pocket knife sharp, Use the pocket tool for Mail, Kitchen packets, etc, Was showing it to my wifes best friends Husband, Opening his medical packets for him, When he went home my pocket tool had disappeared, So AGAIN Reviewed Every utility blade holder Available..Still bought the same one, And thats $100 + Aussie Dollars, My new pocket tool will not be lent or leave my key ring again, My Criteria, Lightweight, Overall Construction, Functionally, Thinness, I don't Drink, Smoke,Gamble or Take Drugs, So I'll Spend my money as I Dam well please, I don't criticise Other's on What they Waste there Money on,
"Just spend half and get a spyderco Dragonfly 2"
...is like my response to 90% of these fancy edc gizmos
The frequent traveler comment is the number one reason. This is an idea premium EDC option for travelers that can be used as a primary traveling and a secondary when at home. Many people live in and out of airports so this is a welcome and perfect option.
I love your honest review and getting to the point up front. Obviously no sponsorship of the tool itself. This is why I am a subscriber. Stay true in this world of fake news!
I ended up going for the Gil-tek Ruk v2. In aluminum it’s a fraction of the cost. For the same kinda functionality. But the Ruk can be deployed quicker, with a single hand - no fiddling around to pull the blade out!
You are 100% right, you could easily find a very capable utility knife/tool for under $20. Having said that, a lot of people are carrying a utility knife everyday as a companion to their EDC and don't want to give up that pride in their tool. Thank you for the great videos.
This is why I appreciate and value your channel... Good, honest reviews. I have seen some channels try to actually praise this thing! Just because it's expensive doesn't make it great! I just recently purchased a K1 utility knife. Its similar but stainless steel so it was only like $16. So far I'm happy with it.
I have a Gil Tek RUK in aluminum, brass and I have a titanium one on backorder. They work really well and changing blades is pretty easy. No need to disassemble, no tiny screws or buttons.
Good thing that it has the lanyard hole. That way you have something to hang on to while you're swinging it around over your head to throw away. ITS Tactical does have a lot of other gear that's pretty good/unique though. Glad you reviewed it!
Griffin XL! It is my Key Chain, and it saved my life. Being in a wheelchair makes A.H's "Think" your an easy victim, I was attacked and couldn't get my Knife out in the fight, I was able to use the Prybar end to Destroy his Elbow and Throat. The Police were so impressed with the Griffin, that they wanted to get one ASAP!
Glad you were able to call it for what it is.
OldPackMule thanks for watching
@@gideonstactical I would never spend 70.00 s on that little thin ggv . I would rather give 70.00 s on a good knife any day .
I've never seen anything that was titanium go for what I would consider "a reasonable price" (small pry bars, etc). I've always walked away without the item.
I have the TPT Slide $80.... I have the Outdoor Edge Slidewinder $20..... The Slidewinder is more reliable in almost every way. Don’t waste your money on the TPT.
the most important edc item that I carry and not one day goes by that I don't use it at work or home is my leatherman squirt. u actually got me on it and it's the best decision ever. thanks for the honest reviews and steering us away from junk. I was thinking u could use it for a escape & evasion tool but for $70 no ty!
I scratched that pocket utility knife itch with a WorkPro utility knife. Its a cheap Chinese-made stainless steel folding knife, but it's very lightweight and doesn't take up much room in the pocket. Because it folds, it's long enough to fit better in my hand than the TPT would when unfolded, and it's only about $15 for 3 of them on Amazon.
Today while you watch videos and enjoy the day off ...remember the ones who gave their lives for your freedom !!
YES SIR!!THANK YOU ALL!
And socialism is going to take all of that freedom away
Its a useful tool if you fly on a regular basis for quick trips where you don't check a bag. Just pop the blade out at your house or hotel. stick the tool back in your pocket and fly. once you get back on the ground pick up a blade at your destination or if you're back home grab your favorite edc blade.
Giltech R.U.K is the same and about 35 bucks. I recommend it. I cut a TON of boxes at work and the RUK keeps me from dulling my knife constantly
Like others I don't understand the justification of titanium. It ups the cost without a significant increase in functionality.
I know someone who make these titanium pry bars and charges like 300 and it's just a small pry bar like 2inches and people buy em . Blows my mind.
Honesty. Refreshing. It sucks that I have to say it but it's true. So many "reviews" are just infomercials. You aren't that kind of guy.
Will Allan thanks! I always want to shoot straight with you the viewers
gideonstactical - I count at least 4 blades I've purchased directly on the back of your reviews. My AZ Welke sheathed BK 16 is my favourite outdoor blade and my Manix 2 Lightweight is my favourite EDC. Both bought and enjoyed directly after watching your videos. I take what you say seriously now, and videos like this reinforce the other side of that coin. Enough of me blowing smoke for now....
THis is why your channel is TOPS. You always keep it real and honest. Thanks and stay that way. and Happy Memorial Day. PEACE
Yep. Would rather have a different colored Delica.
That said, I love ITS stuff.
You’re paying for American design, American made and titanium, it’s geared towards the edc community, where some people carry a $400 pry bar, so $70 for a utility knife isn’t out of the norm. That being said I do agree that it’s over priced, but then again I think that just about everything in this world is overpriced. If people are willing to pay than who are we to judge. That being said I own one and I love it, it’s in my pocket everyday and keeps my nicer pocket knives sharp
I don't travel a lot but, when I do and wanted a blade after getting off the plane I went to walmart and bought a cheap one. Not critiquing your review...like you said...it you want it for the the uniqueness buy it.
This was designed by Big Idea Design... idk why you're saying it's by It's Tactical... Did they knock it off? Rebrand or were they just selling it?
totally agree with you man. I wouldn't pay more the $25 for any keychain multi-tool.
This is a kick in the teeth. Was saving some money to buy one of these. After watching this vid, I'm now determined to spend it on something else. Love the content. Subbed.
Should check out the Gil tek ruk v2 it’s $35 for the aluminum version and it’s easier to open and close one handed
Finally someone that preaches the truth and not a weekly ad for lastest tactical-cool gizmo.
Agreed, I like the concept of how the allow the blade to be installed without tools, but the price point is too steep. That and I'm willing to bet those teeth on the wrench portion aren't that durable and will "round out", if used with any regularity, for titanium unless special heat treatment is under taken (And I doubt it is), it can be too soft for that application.
Great video once again Aaron! But, I'm left with a few questions LOL Overall how was blade stability? For it's size comparatively, how was blade stability during cutting tasks and blade lock in the closed position? I know the cheap ones over time and use get sloppy, start to rattle, blade not as secure when exposed that sort of thing. So the cost with these has left me to beleave it's the price of guaranteed longevity of blade functionality. Did this product at least convey that quality?
It would be better if it was one that held those mini razor blades and it was smaller and cost about 30 bucks. I think that would be a decent idea and it could have sort of a longer handle to get more leverage
That looks like one of the tools you find at the gas station checkout for $5 next to the USB chargers.
I bought a tpt slide from exceed designs and its awesome .
I bought something similar from AliExpress made of stainless steel for $20 including postage. I'll see whether I blew my dough in a month's time. (BTW, not in stock, back to $40 after weekend sale).
Was it expensive? Are there cheaper options out there? Do you think it’s a good value?
four dollar's on ali express stainless no leather pouch though.lol.but I do think people can spend on whatever they want.atb paddy.
Thanks, Buddy. Not wasted when you share.
I recomend the Outdoor Edge $11.00 one. It works great and has several additional features.
your yard is looking good man!
R Perez thanks bro, we are getting there!
That " tool " ranks right up there with pet rocks and fidget spinners. All for the price are worthless. Thanks for the honesty in your opinion and reviews.
Some day someone will make a utility cutter that size that I will purchase. Why don't you and your buddy from Dark Timber make one. Keep it simple, bottle opener and blade for $25, I''ll buy one. As well, why aren't there utility blades made from some super steel that can be sharpened? Couldn't find those either. I would pay $25 for a super steel utility blade!
Hiker Marapese Just might have to do that.
Hiker Marapese I second this motion
Too late..it's been done...search Screwtop Ron Utility knife on Amazon
I've seen those. I would like something that looked a bit nicer.
Look up the tukkxl by tactical Keychains is exactly what you're looking for.
This thing is about it's being small. That's what I'm looking for. Minimalist one hand open and close. The price is bullshit I agree but what else is this small with one hand operation?
Ever think of doing a video showing your knife picks for different climates? Assuming you could only have one knife on you in that climate.
It's pretty hokey to be honest I was checking it out on their Website a few months ago, And it's well over 100 CAD after taking in currency conversion, I'll stick with a Multitool thanks for the review Aaron and God Bless
I have to admit, that I am the perfect target audience for that thing. I just bought a small titanium knife with a sheepsfoot blade in this exact size. The price is really not that big of a deciding factor for me. I find new things to buy to seldom these days.
The leather pouch defeats the point of using lightweight titanium. The pouch probably weighs more than the tool
DamionJR4923 it does lol
i bought a 12$ one that weighs an ounce more, at that scale the weight savings of titanium is just not worth it. that 70$ buys you cool factor and nothing else.
To each is their own, but keep in mind that a Yugo will get you from point A to point B, but you don’t see us all driving them.
Great video man! It is neat to have the EDC market expanding with cool new items like this but I agree that for an average person looking to expand their EDC system, they could probably do better for a lower price. Keep up the good work. Also, any update on a review on a Spartan Blades folder or fixed blade?
I would never pay 70 bucks for a utility knife unless it came with a solid gold razor blade .
Ti is a waste of money. I bought a Gil-Tek $30 and the thing rocks.
Came here just for the controversy, Gotta say I love when a youtuber is just brutally honest (especially when it happens to be negative and controversial apparently lol), it's just a nice reminder that there will always be a value of integrity no matter the potential consequences
I think thats a watch pocket not a coin pocket** and my guess is those two blanks are to sandwich your extra blades in between maybe? So you're not carrying them directly in that little pocket
you can turn how ever you wish but in the end it's just a razor and doing just that cut like every other razor much doing even better :D
Just received my reate torrent in titanium handles and m390 steel paid 370 shipped guess i should of at least 1000 considering price of this thing buy a letherman hve it gold plate youll be cool and itll be useful at least
Just bought one off eBay $1.56. it cost me more to ship then I paid.
I think the most I would pay would be around $35-40 if I came with spare blades. Love ITS they have cool stuff and they are educating and entertaining, but that's. it worth the $70
If you order now, we'll include 2 more for the low low price of $399.99
That's right-----you'll get 3 for the price of 5!! WHAT A DEAL! ACT NOW!
NOT SOLD IN STORES!!
rhpicayune hahs
Yes you did. But I love the channel and look forward to each episode even if it's not something I would use
Michael Mushrush yep, it's funny that they would want this much. Thanks for watching.
I like the Gerber folding razor blade
Hi Aaron, I love your videos. keep up the good work!
Is there some reason for it to be titanium? Is it like a piece of functional jewelry? I don't like to outright dislike something just because I don't understand it but at this price I can't see anything to justify that cost.
Mt. Baldwin yep my thoughts exactly
I saw another company similar to this. They sell the same stuff, and I saw that they now have pens and other cool Ti things. I was eyeballing their edc wrench, saw that it was $120, and thought fuck that. Not worth it.
This should've been $15-20 at the MOST...
rhpicayune agreed
rhpicayune disagreed. Look at similar offering at that price point and you see and feel the difference. While +gideonstactical is entitled to his opinion I disagree with him as well. You cannot breath oxygen and stand there and tell me that a $100 knife is better that a $700 knife. It's about fit and finish and attention to detail. Honestly this viewed as a rant/hunt, etc. to me. And I cant even begin to forget that he called ITS (imminent treat solutions) ITS +its tactical
I'll give 12.90 for it ;)
Finally someone who does honest reviews! 👏
Gerber EAB and Shard. Less than twenty bucks for both.
ScrewPop Ron's utility knife...$5 at the local farm store. It's a great backup. $70 naaaaah! The main knives I carry don't cost $70
Doesn't it get dull by sliding in and out?
I bought a ss one of these types of tools for under $10 and threw it away. Lots of superior razor blade tools out there.
what's the difference, I use a a small utility knife that holds a razor and it is tough as nails. $6.00
What is it?
Haven´t watched a long time your channel - man its growing! Nice video as always.
I can buy a folding ebk for about 20 dollars. I can buy a multitool for less than or around 70 dollars that'll do far more than this. If you want something useful for the best price, buy something else. This was a waste of 70 bucks.
Way over priced. IMO, $30 - $40 at most. I recently ordered the Cold Steel Code 4 tanto knife for $69.99 + free shipping.
If anyone's considering buying one of these, please send me the $70 instead. I'll return it to you one year later after the impulse has passed. That's what friends do.
Micah Knepper friends don’t let friends buy this. I like it!
Not for me but thanks for taking the hit for us and for the video.
you could spend $300 on a chefs knife, or you could buy a $20 knife. Why buy the $300 knife? because, that's why. Because it's better, because it's an investment into something you love. Because this. Because that. Because it's better than the other in every way but the price.
Gerber EAB for a stanley blade folder!
Great review!
I clicked like because you didnt once say "I'm rockin" that I saw.
I own one of these; I think it's close to useless: the wrench can only be used on flat surfaces, strength of titanium is not needed and you end up with... a blade for 70 bucks... :-(
Totally unrelated but I was wondering if you could recommend me a backpack that could carry between 40 and 50 pounds
I would LOVE that thing for around ten bucks....
Different stroke for different folks I guess. If dropping 70 to 200 bucks on a small piece of titanium is doable to you the have at it. There is a market for this stuff.
Did he just say its and not as it should be, Eye-Tee-Ess? WOW! +gideonstactical
Please check out the Schrade 57.
Can the blade be replaced/changed without tools ?
The weight different between SS and Ti for something this size is marginal and seriously not worth the cash. I agree that this lacks value at least in my pocket.
Zachary Taylor right on
Zachary Taylor but the magnetic footprint is. RAH!
You can get something similar from lowes for $12
I love to have one of these... but the price stops me from buying it..
Charging that much doesent make sense titanium should even cost less when i bought my first titanium piece which was a spork i thought wtf is this piece of s.... bends like paper ive had it with titanium it will never replace stainless
I have had a few of these type of tools. Then I asked myself, why? I really never needed any of them for anything. Gave one to my wife, threw out the other one. To me they are hype that really serves no purpose. Buy a small leatherman tool Ray....Oklahoma
sup brothers can do a video about 470-1 benchmade?
well said
The ITS response video was sooo hard to watch..
next time you want to waste $70 just send it to me lol
Great video I might buy it for $10.00
