    I recently acquired a Kizer escort with their red richlite scales (a type of micarta) and love it. Similar in appearance and locking mechanism to the D/bear. Also fantastic action and sharpness right outta the box.

      Yes that rich light is very good. Excellent choice. Thanks

    I love my Drop Bear. Great little work knife that I've beat on pretty hard. The clutch lock works so well and practically closes itself. It's spending a lot of time in my pocket when other similar knives are in the drawer.

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  Рік тому

      There you go man. If you find one that fits you well and you like the action, That's awesome and it's definitely going to get more pocket time. Good stuff man. Thanks

    I have that exact one and agree with 100% of what you said. I snagged one when I had the chance and the only one available was the coated blade and aluminum scales. It love it, but think I would prefer a non-coated version too. Thanks, brother KC! Have an awesome Friday and weekend, man.

      Thanks for watching Grumpy. Yeah you know it's a great knife I just don't prefer this coating. Great action though. Thanks

    Don't have the Drop Bear yet, but will for sure one day. Filling in other voids in the old knife collection at the moment, so it's just a matter of priorities. The bigger question is: What kind of new camera? What lens?

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I really like it. It was a shame I had to sell it but I got to keep knives coming in. I got a Canon M50 and a sigma 16 mm F1/4

    I enjoyed your review on the Drop Bear Purchased the Escort in Burlap Micart and change out stud to red ones and I'm still learning the lock had to adjust the omega springs twice and learning I like purchase in December it's drop price $95 this will be my fourth knife and last for this year I've learned to be very discriminating what I purchase.We should all do are research like I'm doing for the Drop Bear

    The drop bear has jumped to one of my favorites as far as fidget factor. I’d love to find a purple pocket clip tho to match the thumb stud if anyone knows where I can find one to fit, that won’t cost me a fortune that is. lol

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  Рік тому

      That would definitely look great if you could find one. If I see one I'll let you know. Definitely a great fidget knife and a great cutting profile. Thanks

    The Drop Bear is excellent! I think Kizer's store direct had a few, might be gone now, but you could use the KIZER2022 code to save 30% until January 8th.
