Wish you put chapters in the video so you could easily find each knife segment. You could also do a list of the knives in the description with the time stamp.
I just got that same Slasher on sale after I sold the standard D2 Micarta version. I had and regretted selling it, and I did not yet have a carbon fiber handled knife. But ran into loctite issues and ruined the bearings trying to get them back in. I ordered my first Skiffs , and a cheap soldering iron that made easy work of the loctite, and man it was worth the effort and the few extra dollars. Great video as always thank you.
Excess factory loctite in a knife is a royal pain in the ass, have had many tense moments myself trying to take apart knives and one screw doesnt want to move, and then the screw starts to slowly strip out if you arent careful 😅 But anyways, thanks man much appreciated from this side also. That carbon fibre slasher is a superb deal that I always like to get people to jump on if possible
I just wanted to note , for anyone seeking a Pyrite tanto, I've only been able to find it at Blade HQ, and only in AR-RPM9/G10 . I'm going to hold out , in hopes of either an upgraded version, or at the least , a stainless steel version, rather than G10 . I'd definitely buy it , as a match to my quickly purchased entry level versions, or as a nicer knife altogether, but not in peel ply textured G10 . Not a fan of it , and god knows, its not like I need another knife, just to have it . The Pyrite and Slasher have made me much more likely to wait , in hopes of upgraded versions , rather than to purchase as soon as an intriguing new model goes on sale .
You really are waiting for that upgraded tanto pyrite huh. If you have any other pyrites lying around you could always swap the scales from a steel one with that G10 one. That BHQ tanto is the only pyrite with that huge opening slot, which I kinda like the look of Stainless steel handles aside, what would the ideal ideal steel on the tanto blade be? Their proprietary ARRPM9 is still absolutely good and fine, will serve everyone well, just wondering, if you would want an upgrade in the steel department or just the handle one
@@Archetype_EDC I'd love to see an S90V/Ti version, preferably with fat carbon inlays, but since they generally do their inlays only on the show side , plain is fine . I pre-ordered the original Pyrite , in the black stainles/AR-RPM9 . For the price, I love it , but I already have both varients in that configuration. I'd like the tanto to either match , or be completely different, cosmetically. I really like AR-RPM9 , so either way would be equally fine , but I dislike the feel , and cosmetics , of peel ply textured G10 . The only way I ever buy it , is if its the only material available, and I really like the design. That said, I'll give it a month , and buy what I can get , as a tanto Pyrite would find its way into my pockets with some regularity, even if its (imo) a bit ugly . A tanto/alt Pyrite carry pair would be a beautiful thing, regardless of cosmetics. BTW, the Ultem Coeus is on its way , my first Ultem. It will either be a gateway, or the last of its kind , but I find it theoretically preferable to peel ply G10 . I did see that Kubey had come out with a titanium frame lock Coeus , the day after I ordered the Ultem version. I had waited several months for that to occur, and missed it by about 12 hours. That said , I've had mixed results with titanium Kubey knives. My Ti/frame lock Tityus has a gritty and lazy action, prompting me to purchase a peel ply G10 liner lock version, (its an absolute favorite design, with near perfect ergos, for me, known as the poor man's Koenig Arius) , with very snappy action. The experience has made me a bit leary of their frame locks .
@@dougwinchester4963 Ah yea the good old S90V with titanium. The ever present staple of CJRB and Artisan. Lets see if they ever get round to it, they have had so many popular releases in the last few months that It might take a while, if it ever happens. But yea the way you described it would be very nice. And absolutely, in the absence of a super steel, their proprietary one is absolutely fine, although ive come to really love their S90V. Let me know what you think of Ultem when you get it! lol am quite keen to know what you think. Have never had a Kubey knife myself in any configuration, and that Arius really was a big hype knife for a while, probably for good reason as well. Was just looking at the prices of some of their customs and they go wildly high
@@Archetype_EDC so , I got the ultem Kubey Coeus and Kizer Mini Grouper in , yesterday. I may still be experiencing the "honeymoon phase" , and possibly being influenced by the fact that I really like the Coeus , (it is SO close to the Civivi Qubit, in nearly every regard), but initial impressions are that I very much prefer the Ultem scales to peel ply textured G10 . I actually dislike peel ply G10 , quite a lot though. I find Ultem... Interesting. Different. Not cheap feeling at all. I will be ordering another Ultem knife, with a black blade and frame , to carry with the Coeus, in the near future. It will likely be either of a couple of Kuby models , as I know their quality. It looks cheap to my eyes, with a silver frame/blade , but the black, underlying the Ultem , gives it a pleasant smokey aspect. Anyway, the experiment was a success. I also like the Mini Grouper, my first button actuated liner lock. Great detent, AND a button? Yes , please!
@@dougwinchester4963 hey, glad to hear that ultem wasn’t a big turn off for you lol. Just taking a bit of a break from UA-cam at the moment. The mini grouper is really an awesome knife, have had some fun with that one. Speaking about Kubey, since we were talking about the hrc results from LTK’s channel a few days ago (at least I think we were), he had one of their S90V blades tested and it came back at 55hrc 🤣 that is atrocious. There was a random Chinese Amazon knife in D2 he also tested in the same batch that came back at 64 so don’t know what to say really lol I know not super related but I guess what I’m saying is that perhaps avoid anything from Kubey in S90V. Anyways just replying as I will be off mostly for a while. Enjoy your new knives though 👍
yea I will make a short of it sometime. Crazy the amount of different brands that these civivi (and kizer) clips all fit on, kinda happy they have the same screw hole configuration, makes replacing them nice and easy
I also use those civivi pocket clips alot, they fit almost everything with a generic chip. I have a few Pyrites, who doesn't, but I really like the knife center exclusives with titanium bolsters and black micarta, a nice upgrade for a few dollars more. 😂
The Civivi clips are great and yea they just fit so many other brands, some new ones that I had coming in a few days back (such as CJRB and Artisan) I just planned to put the Civivi clip straight onto them because I know its a perfect match. Hadnt seen that knife centre exclusive one before you mentioned it, it seems that there are so many exclusives of the pyrite series (BHQ as well for a tanto version) For a few dollars more Is a great movie as well 😂
yes sure, the blades are all the same shape despite the steel used. If its a premium button lock then you can definitely put it into a budget button lock handle. Results might not be 100% but it will work. Any ideas in mind? the only one i can think of is that bladehq special Prado they released that had 6.3oz steel handles. If I would have gotten that I would have taken it straight out and put it in lightweight ones
Trail and error. Some clips are inset and don't nest right, sometimes it fits perfect like it was made for it. You just have to try and see. And made sure you have some long screws handy.
A fair few lol. Thankyou though, the ones in this video were the more beautiful ones in my collection. But yea as to the number, I have a lot of budget knives that are really good as well which I like to recommend to people, which pushes the number of ones I own up way more
@@shaunsanders5404 Yea Im going to bring out some of the wider range of budget ones again soon and make a video on them, for sure there will be some you havent seen as well! Thanks anyhow, glad you are enjoying the content 👍

I love Kunwu, but my Pulsar was bought new not used...it's was dull out the box. I heard from others who said the same. Now I have to sharpen Elmax!
always appreciate the customised engravings
Oh yea me too ❤🔥

Should make a video on which pocket clips fit on which knife. Never mind lol you answered.

For a few dollars more Is a great movie as well 😂
I like your style, most of the knifers are pretty aggressive and salesman 👍🏻
cheers buddy, just like to talk about some of the collection and recommend things for some people who ask
Also wondering if you can take a premium Crjb blade can fit a budget titanium handle.
yes sure, the blades are all the same shape despite the steel used. If its a premium button lock then you can definitely put it into a budget button lock handle. Results might not be 100% but it will work.
Any ideas in mind? the only one i can think of is that bladehq special Prado they released that had 6.3oz steel handles. If I would have gotten that I would have taken it straight out and put it in lightweight ones

some beauties there mate! how many do you have in total now?
A fair few lol. Thankyou though, the ones in this video were the more beautiful ones in my collection.

@@Archetype_EDC keep em coming man loving seeing them, some ive never seen yet before too!
@@shaunsanders5404 Yea Im going to bring out some of the wider range of budget ones again soon and make a video on them, for sure there will be some you havent seen as well!
