Did you have any issues importing the drift or either of these to Australia? I’ve heard of potential issues with it having ability for single hand opening.
I have a Waypoint on the uh.. way. That will make my fourth knife from Quiet Carry, along with: The Chase, The IQ, and The Drift. The Chase and The Drift both arrived with absolute laser beam edges, but the edge on the IQ was absolutely abysmal. Now I'm looking at the fixed blade, can't recall the name of it.
Hope you get a decent factory edge on the Waypoint. Mine wasn't too bad. 'Abysmal' is a pretty good description of the edge on my Drift, although it did give me the opportunity to sharpen Vanax, which was nice.
I'm a big TRM knives fan but I've held both of these and really liked them. Especially the Drift. I just can't decide which version I want. I wish they had the textured raw Ti Drift in stock
I have a TRM Neutron 2. It's a great knife, but I almost always grab the Drift. It just feels better in hand and I definitely prefer the QC thumbstuds. Would like to pick up some contoured scales for the Neutron. Apparently they completely change the feel in hand.
@@GearSlob I have 2 Neutrons, one with flat G10 and the other Contoured. The flat ones are more grippy, but the Contoured fill the palm of my hand alittle better.
Hopefully, Quiet Carry has sorted out their edges, and you end up getting a decent one. Since I got my Drift, I've carried it more than any other knife in my collection. It's a great knife.
@@GearSlob That's reassuring. The fact that it's impervious to rust lured me in. I've heard mixed reviews, so I'm hoping it will be a mainstay for me. Thanks!
Disagree with you about the Drift. Carried mine yesterday. It's so reliable and comfortable. Don't understand your comment that 'it's not a good cutter'. The blade grind is very thin, and Vanax holds an edge for a long time. Not sure you will like the Waypoint if you don't like the Drift. Thanks for watching.
@@GearSlob I have the drift man. It can’t even slice an apple without using a lot force. Maybe your cutting open boxes with it. I carry this knife mostly for cutting fruits and food in general.
Sounds like you might need to put a fresh edge on there. Like I said in the video, the edge on mine ,out of the box, was dull. Sharpen it up, and you'll be a lot happier.
Haven't noticed any corrosion so far. Carry the Drift a lot and don't live too far from water... The clip and other parts are meant to be marine grade stainless steel so that sounds a bit unusual.
Thank You for this Good Comparison,I am sure that more and more People will be watching your review. You solved a good one....which one?.....Both!

No problem importing these or any other knives.
As long as you're not contravening State laws, you should be fine.

@@GearSlob what angle are you sharpening the Drift at on the worksharp? I do 17.5 on most knives.
I've since got a KME and sharpen everything on that.
The last time I sharpened the Drift it was about 18.5 degrees. Came up really nicely.
Where, how much???

Think the Drift is $300 but there is an option with G10 scales. The Waypoint is similar in price.
Aww man... if mine arrives with a dull edge I'm going to Be DISAPPOINTED

*'Interrupted by a Cat'* should be the title of your memoir.
Not the first time it's happened and certainly not the last.
Cats have no respect when it comes to content creation.
The drift is not that good. Overhyped on UA-cam in my opinion. It’s not a good cutter. I do want to try the waypoint.

Have you experienced any rusting of the hardware? Mine went in the ocean a few times and I got some pretty good rusting going

@@GearSlob I can send you some pictures. I did take it scuba diving for a week so it was getting unusual treatment.
