  • @Mastertoa3

    Seems like you missed that the blade seems to lock into that back spacer/lock, especially if you look at the images on the website

    The blade is definitely intended to latch open. It's called a lockback on their site. What a cool looking knife with some actual premium materials.

  • @brycewaters2251
    @brycewaters2251 9 місяців тому +44

    I may be wrong, but does that bar along the back have flex to it? It almost looks like it locks into the front flipper bar.

    • @ThunderChunky101
      @ThunderChunky101 9 місяців тому +3

      It definitely does.

    • @JoshSweet

      It looks like if you depress the purple back spacer it will lock into the blade thumb flipper and ITS SO BEAUTIFUL ❤

  • @ThunderChunky101
    @ThunderChunky101 9 місяців тому +35

    As people have mentioned it does lock back. The website shows it.

    Mother of Pearl inlays, and you missed the lock...
    Totally agree about the logo.

    • @BladeLabMiami
      @BladeLabMiami 9 місяців тому +1

      Abalone inlays, actually. Abalone is colored while mother of pearl is generally white/gray.

    • @didgemonkey
      @didgemonkey 9 місяців тому

      @BladeLabMiami
      I agree that Abalone is much more colourful from all angles, but MoP is subtley colourful when light hits it at the right angle... this is where the term 'pearlescent' comes from... so we can agree to disagree I guess, but I'm happy to be proven wrong...

  • @msimola

  • @RicoVonSpaceWolf
    @RicoVonSpaceWolf 9 місяців тому +7

    It looks like it locks if you press the back bar and push down the flipper tab. It looks like possibly you didn’t open the knife all the way.

  • @samuelpierson7397
    @samuelpierson7397 9 місяців тому +1

    Does it lock if you push it down on thw back of the flipper when open?

  • @ch-vs3fw
    @ch-vs3fw 9 місяців тому

    Looks like you press down on the little tang to get it to latch
    That is some seriously skilled artwork! Beautiful!!

  • @vlad0vlad0vlad
    @vlad0vlad0vlad 9 місяців тому +4

    it looks to me that the backspacer is the lock, if it flexes inwart the it would catch the blade extension. Also it seams not fully open

  • @timtitus2532
    @timtitus2532 9 місяців тому +2

    Looks like the lock bar at the back of the knife has been identified. Would like to see you open it all the way and disengage the lock. Thanks

  • @nixter8739
    @nixter8739 5 місяців тому

    Mother of pearl is the material you were searching for and the knife looks like a bird to me. The mother of pearl being the wings, the blade the beak and if you notice by the tail (fan shaped bit opposite the blade) there seemed to be a button mkving that purple lever to lock and unlock blade. You are quite correct it ks very unusual but really beautiful. Katsu is my choice when i go to Korean bbq, I love fried chicken.

  • @mikeydudek2885
    @mikeydudek2885 9 місяців тому

    I’m not sure, but it looks like you can manipulate that purple bar that runs down the spine to lock the blade out. It just looks like the back of the front flipper clips into that purple bar, almost like a back lock or scorpion lock does.

  • @timshriver4033
    @timshriver4033 9 місяців тому +5

    It looked like it was supposed to be able to lock open by the tab on the blade slipping over the purple backspacer

  • @mannywilliams6409

    The material on the handle is probably black lip mother of pearl, and it appears to lock open if you open the blade fully.

  • @samuelpierson7397

    Does the purple bar move as a lock when open?

  • @LoLo-wz3bq
