Ive almost bought the other one they make (Marilla, I think) a few different times. Ultimately though an aluminum frame lock is really dumb and Case barely even does a passable job with 1095 so I have zero faith in their ability to heat treat/grind/anything s35vn. That edge sounded awful while cutting the paper, and it seemed to hang up in the same spot everytime, not that factory edges mean a damn thing. I really have to ask, what the hell is "a bearing lock in the pivot" supposed to mean?? Just found your channel. Subbed.
"Bearing lock pivot" is my bad habit way of using the term "ball bearing pivot" the frame lock does all the locking. Obviously but that bearing pivot is so much smoother than regular shim/washer style flippers like the sog I showed in the video. The edge was not nearly as sharp as I would have liked, but like you said... factory sharpened edges don't mean anything. The review video in the future will tell how I really like the knife. Thanks for commenting.🤘🤘
Love to see that case is making more modern knives. And it pleases me to see that the quality is still there as well.
