Congrats! The Raptor is so underrated. Each Peña design has a slightly different flipper tab, and imo this one might be the smoothest. And holy moley is that blade slicey!
Man I wish so many other custom knife makers would use Reate for OEM. They're so damn good! Every Reate manufactured blade I have is one of my favorites
Enrique Pena puts out consistent hitters every time. His design language and quality with Reate easily fall into my top five, if not three, of all knife brands.
Legitimately been waiting for you to review a pena. I have this exact one, wonderful knife, blade shape is a utility cut dream and looks beautiful. Little stiff out the box but once I gave it some KPL opens beautifully
Sway back, cool blade shape not a big fan of hollow grinds but this one looks nice and high which is the only way I like em. Good video. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
I just got the Paramour in. It's really good! It's one of the best looking knives I've seen. Front flippers may be by favorite opening method these days.
@@doodysdaggers Not exactly. It's just a front flipper. It's super minimal but works really well. It has that fine jimping that wraps around the top corner so it grabs your finger really well. Like you said it's almost magical to open 😀
See my badge is blue for comments still but was green in stream...it did that at the 6th month mark and i get no Doody notifications... UA-cam hates me.
One of the best modern traditionals

Right on, nice! I’m falling in love with it for SURE.
I've been staring at this very same knife for weeks now. Congrats my man!
With all of these modern traditionals/traditional hybrids, I overlooked Pena. Good pickup!
I kinda forgot about him too for a while! Now I want more
Yo I got the XL version a few months ago. I didn't even know it existed. Looking forward to the cut test. Love that raptor
Congratulations DOOD ON 7K!!!
🎉🥳🎉🤠🤘🤠

Lucky!! It’s definitely a handsome knife. It’s got a top flipper just like this Raptor?

Nice man. Thanks for the look.
Beautiful choice!
I saw apostle p had one of those gtc ZT s with the cool flipper for sale yesterday
Dang! You kept this on the down low! Sweet!!!
Wow! Cool knife and scary slicer.😊
Congratulations. I prefer the Raptor myself. One day!
Hell yeah Dood! That’s a nice snag I love the aesthetic!
That top flipper looks just like the one on the Lush could've been inspiration for the Lush flipper
Totally!
I was able to get a pena x series raptor with Mokuti inlays and it's beautiful and perfect in every way. I'm afraid to carry it.
Sounds beautiful
Congrats on the score!
Ah, ya got me. Thought this was going to be the Paramour. I have one out for delivery right now.
Nice!! It really looks awesome, wish I could have both
@@doodysdaggers Just came in. It's really sweet! Tiny though. Enjoy the Raptor.
Pretty flipping sweet bro
Niceee the raptor is probably gonna be my first purchase of next year
I highly recommend it!!
