    Kizer really is a great company for people like me who can't afford a 300 dollars knife. What you get for what you pay is pretty great. Them and vosteed are my favorite nice but low budget knives.

    I got mine about 2 weeks ago, and it's great!! This is my first micarta scaled knife and I'm on the fence about the feel lol if this knife comes in other scales in the future I'd for sure get another one. Or if someone made scales I'd consider it. My favorite feature of the blade is the line from the tip of the blade to the butt of the handle. That top curvature 🤌🏽

    Got my Mad Tanto in black a few weeks ago, and havent set it down since. The action is getting even more smooth and free with use.

    154cm is *not* tougher than M390, according to Larrin Thomas. But M390 does have better edge retention and corrosion resistance. I know some people are bored with it, but M390 is an objectively better steel than 154cm. But I really do like the Mad Tanto. 154cm is a great steel for the price point. Blade geometry trumps marginally better steel.

  • @hificat101
    @hificat101 Рік тому +1

    On scales of 1-10, Larin Thomas rates 154CM as 3.5 for toughness, 4.5 for edge retention, and 7 for corrosion resistance. CPM154 as 5, 4.5, and 7. Really wish Kizer would charge a buck or two more and move to using more CPM154, or make a premium one of these in 3V or 4V. And I apologize in advance because I know you hate comments like this, but I'm sort of hoping someone from Kizer will see it.

    i like the micarta backspacer, i feel like steel is overkill for the strength that is required of this part. but i think they should have cut it so the pattern is facing out like the rest of the handle

    I really like the look of the knife. I do hope they come out with other color variations, I don't like the green micarta scales but do like the blade. The other version I like the scale color but not the black blade, picky I know lmao (I only see 2 versions at the moment, this one and a black blade/black micarta scale version). Hopefully they come out with more variations, I'd love one with Ti scales

  • @hificat101
    @hificat101 Рік тому +1

    Don't really like the idea of tantos because it seems like they would be tough to sharpen. This looks good, and I might grab one if it were in CPM154 instead of 154CM. Even 14C28N.

    Those Ontario rats get really smooth after a bit 👍, great user . I like the hidden liners on this and the sokoke 👍. It’s one of things that attracts me to a knife lately . I did a para 3 in cF with backspacer and plug and clip and it’s super nice . The manix 2 turned out solid and a bit heavy with titanium so thinking of switching to skinny scales .

    Regarding the name of the knife printed on the blade...l have a relatively large collection going back about 35 years and l have knives for which l have forgotten the names and are not currently carried in any catalogue. I have tried several times to find the original names without luck and this makes it difficult to reference these knives in knife circles.
    So l do see a reason for naming knives on the blade.

    Thanks for your input I like caffeine too mostly in the form of coffee- monster tastes good too that being said, I am perplexed that you don’t mention the intended use for the said folding knife because isn’t that the buyers intent( just a thought) was a pocket knife champion since a little kid.
