First vid on yt I've been able to find that showcases the flytanium lotus scales on the para 3. Really interested in your thoughts on the feel of the styling versus the standard stock scale shape. Great vid!

oh! LBGTQ scales how sweet

Really expensive for a 3 finger grip. Bummer.

I think fact of this is something strange level of linear specs going on and other way how easy to buy this knife ... Yes money goes right way here.

Cool review. Love it. Knife is worth IT.

Where did you get your mat from?

Too bad they don’t make it in left hand version.

Not ambi. Damn.

So cool test! Appreciate it!

i found that if you disassemble starting from the show side, youll never have to deal with pivot spin because the pivot is a D shape on the opposite side

Interesting test and results. Not knowing the Rockwell hardness of either is most likely where the true difference lies. The Rat may be 61-63 hrc and the Redout may only be 58-60 hrc. As a knife guy who collects all kinds, I've found that the composition of the steel frequently means far less than the hardness does. Thanks for the test footage, well done!

Great video but this auto focus feature of the camera is giving me motion sickness.

Hello. I would like to ask you a question: I used to have the AD 10, and its liners were made of aluminum. In the AD 20.5 and yours, the liners are made of steel, but I don't know what type of steel. Do you think it's necessary to apply any oil to this part? I'm not referring to the part of the liners that face the scales, as those are protected, but to the part facing the blade

Thank you VERY much.

Best Bugout upgrade is oversized Phosphor Bronze washers. Grab some Flitz and polish them up real nice before install. Makes such a difference. My $300 Carbon Fiber Bugout had the worst action that I have ever seen in a knife.

I dont get why so many people want to replace those blue FRN scales with smooth metal ones with no texturing and no color. If you ask me these scale swaps are all downgrades, not upgrades. The blue ones look and feel better.

I like that cold steel quite a bit and the japanese bread knife looks like a banger!! Good video tyvm lol jk i like these knifes

Awesome video! How much weight did it add to the bugout?

This knife looks the way sunsets make me feel

M4 all the way. People say it’s hard to sharpen. Just don’t let it get a dull curved edge. Just polish it on a 6000 grit stone once or twice a week if it is edc. Or polish it as needed

Yeah that’s a miss for me. For that price you should be 100% satisfied. That’s a major reason why I avoid cross bar locks especially on high end knives, just never have had a detent on one that I like. My closest is the s90v/carbon mini freek, but I’m sure the small thin blade helps with that

dang, might have to pick up some of those para 3 scales. very slick w/ the clip too

There is no debate, Magnacut steel is the most stainless and well rounded steel to date. M390 and K390 are great, but Magnacut is the new sheriff in town. I got myself one of Andrew Demkos new Machine Ground MG AD-20's in Magnacut with his modified V2 Clip Point and it's one bad MOTHA F*CKA

Where did you get the washers from?

Available now at USA made blades! Finally scored one at retail I’m stoked

A little late but you should do some durability tests. You can do a budget knife vs a high quality one You can also use the quality knife for another video like resharpening or swapping scales, or just a complete rebuild. That way everyone can see the difference between quality How to clean and fix a knife And some cool mods I'm a big fan of the benchamde Osborne 940 Maybe do a video comparing the blades and durability of the locking mechanism with a cheaper "knock off" Hope this helps good luck. -Sergey K

I just scored one on pure luck - a certain seller sent an email sharing a drop of these will be available this Friday - well, I hadn't heard of the slim, so I went a looking, and lo and behold - the URL for that drop was hidden, but live - I placed an order, hope they don't cancel on me! it's black G10 with Magnacut stonewash... I've wanted one for so dang long!

You want to sell those green g10 scales??

Great review. I'm very happy with my Anthem and just as happy with my Narrows.

Wait…my anonimus can baton wood? I get its strong but cruwear is really that strong??

Perfect EDC knife I absolutely love mine.

It's MGE Exclusive. It's a distributor exclusive so any store that gets knives from them will also get the exclusive. Beautiful knife. Did you just get this? I swear it was sold out.

Looks awesome and thumb studs too 👍🏻 Somewhere in the house I have pm2 with cooper scales 🤔

As a dad, I appreciate the size comparison with the dinosaur toy and saltine cracker. Perfect.

It’s funny that the cheap d2 out performs the cpm, you just confirmed what I already thought, these steels are almost identical

I recently got the benchmade saddle mountain skinner for fishing and hunting, but I was hoping to also use it as a general camping knife more often than that. Will it do fine at that job or should I get something stronger like the anonymous?

anyone know where you can buy an extra set of bronze washers for the manix 2?

the oil in the aftermarket world is probably MUCH better than what theyre using in the factory

I don't think the sage 5 is under rated it's a very popular design. If you want to know a design that is madly over looked and is freaking fantastic it's the k390 leaf jumper.

You should get that backspacer cerakoted green.

Thank you so much for your video, mate. Crystal clear content. Please provide a link to that mat/pad you are using. Cheers

Why is there a knife in a mousetrap??😂

This would be the long way to replace them. Probably be able to replace them in about 5 minutes if you do one side at a time. Future scales may not line up exactly so you may have to fully take it apart anyways. Nice vid 👍🏼

i ordered some copper scales on amazon and installeed them did you have problems aka like the right side scale didnt want to fit ?

Just want to mention, Kunwu recently came out with milled clips for this knife, and they significantly improve the aesthetics, the ergonomics, and even the pocket retention. The new clips are a lot less flimsy and reflect the quality evidenced in the rest of the knife.

Would you sell the green scales?

Do you still have the green scales you took off? Would u sell them?

I have the micarta version and I love it. Almost daily carry for me. A beautiful example of form and function in absolute harmony. Pocket clip design and function is perfect. No blade play on mine. A relatively large folding knife that almost disappears in the pocket. Richard Rogers is a genius.

Definitely not a deep carry pocket clip.

That’s exactly how I’ll do mine if the price of the knife ever goes down 😮
