Thanks again to you for the review, and Slick Slicers for the knife. 'Hard pass' is my thought exactly.The clearly poorly designed handle has always put me off, the excessive bill-boarding adding insult to injury; the price is the nail in the coffin. Otherwise it has potential to be a good user - I like that it has strong retention (I wasn't expecting that either) but I've no experience with the steel...
Does seem to have a bit of wasted grip space on the handle! Lock is interesting though! SOG does end up letting me down most of the time unfortunately! Thanks for sharing!!
I have quite a few UK knives including manly wasp, some bokers, PITS etc this is the knife I always carry it's my favourite ok the steal might not be the best but the knife just works for me I love the more tactical look of it and I was very happy with the price.
Hi mate. Good video as always. Not my style of knife though this one. I've just got a CRKT Squid for work which is great! Yeah I know it's not technically legal but I only ever use it for work. My EDC's are a black Victorinox Climber that I would lost without and a Black Fox bean gen 2. How are you getting on with yours? I think mine needs tightening at the hinge because it seems far too easy to close. I do love it though, I got the zebra wood scale and 8m thinking of staining it with a light purple wash. Happy New year!
It's only a single detent ball holding the Bean open so it will tend to close easily, many have metioned this actually, tightening the pivot might help it but it runs on bearings so it'll have to be very fine adjustments.
No idea where the hell they're getting £66 from. for literally a few extra quid you can get the base model UKPK which has BD1N plus that little bit more reassurance from a bog name like Spyderco.
I never said it was shit, just that there are better, particularly the Wasp. I just say that this is style over substance. The steel is the big let down.
Fair enough, I took your advice to avoid this one as meaning you thought it wasn't very good, sorry for mis-representing your opinion Eric, it really could do with better steel for the price though and there are a lot of things I feel this knife gets wrong, cheers for the lend though!
Another mod to extend the handle ramp up to the tang. Perfect. Atb paddy 👍☘️☕
Totally agree on the price. I would pay 35/40 max. Shame as I like it, but not that much!

I bought my SOG Terminus on a Heinnie Haynes special at £32.95 - seemed a decent knife at a decent price.
I'd buy it for that price, that's a bargain! However it's normally priced at more than double that (£65).

Knivesand tools have it for 53 pounds
Great video! I love the mechanism of the TRM and the SPITS. Just a question can you think of any other knives with this mechanism?
Ive been tempted with the sog just wish they had choiled it

Liking the lock , but that is it. Meh ! Good review , thanksfor sharing !
It's a very, "in-your-face" design, a shame because the blade shape and spring are done really quite well.
Looked at this in the past , I didn’t like it then still don’t now
