    Hi MC. As for me you can keep the Excalibur in you top 5 rotation as long as you like. I’ve been watching for years. Doing all the things you’ve done for the knife community and working your butt off on your channel to finally have a dream come true. Enjoy.

    You shouldn't be scared to use your Sage 5. It's not as fragile as people think, especially if it's used as a cutting tool and not a prybar.

      I second this.
      If you ask me, it’s built tougher than its appearance and size would lead people to believe. It has a rather thick main stop pin, and actually has a smaller, second internal stop pin.
      The feel in-hand on top of its build gives me confidence to use it hard, as a cutting tool. Love my Rex 121 Sage 5 so much, I preordered the Salt Magnacut Sage 5.

    I saw big brown bears video testing rex 121 (not the sage 5) and he was able to whittled brass with no edge damage. It was only lateral/perpendicular movement that did the damage. Really interesting and got me excited to try it in a more real world scenario!

    My Sage 5 -Rex121 had discolored patina after cutting my tomatoes, cucumbers and limes while preparing my salad. I guess the acid reacted with the steel. No regrets though, it slices like a dream.

  • @FuzzyMutt76
    @FuzzyMutt76 2 місяці тому +2

    Hands down, end of story agree on the shark cub. Skip straight to the OG scales for it and you’ll never carry another knife. The contouring is perfect! That and the Skaha II are mamma jamma in the all around awesome department.

    From what i saw on his Instagram during production the biggest goal of the tyro was to br a small superlock knife. I wouldnt be shocked of they make a bigger one but it seems he was intending it as the small knife with a superlock.

    Re OG and aluminum anodizing: anodizing aluminum requires chemicals that are more hazardous than the ones for titanium.

    • @CNYKnifeNut
      @CNYKnifeNut 2 місяці тому

      Objectively not true.
      Sodium Bisulfate is far safer than the hydrofluoric acid that is frequently used with titanium.
      It just takes a bit longer/more effort. It's not any harder or more dangerous.

  • @Green_Guy
    @Green_Guy 2 місяці тому +1

    Would you say you prefer the stealth cub over the standard one? Honestly thinking about it since it's aluminum and deletes the liners. Either that or I'll wait for the OG scales for it.
