New viewer. Appreciate the review and you pointing out the detent, I just ordered mine today and cant wait to test it out soon. Hopefully it doesnt open in pocket, but ive yet to have an axis lock do that (even budget ganzos on the lower end). As far as your take on soyderco re-releasing the same knife over and over again in different steels, im actually a fan of that practice. I think they got certain designs so optimal (my PM2 is still one of my favorite knives for edc in my collection) that it makes sense to offer different blade steels- especially because that design has become a benchmark/so familiar in the community at this point. You know exactly what youre getting from an ergonomics/function standpoint, so its nice to take those variables out in a sprint run (and obviously its mor profitable for the company that way, as well). Part of me wishes they went the opposite direction as well, offering budget steels like 8cr13mov in their higher end designs- just because theres been times where i didnt want to risk losing my pm2 or damaging it- and their 8cr is a good budget steel- but the ergos on the pm2 are nearly perfect. I doubt they would do that however (production for their more budget friendly knives is in Taiwan irrc, as opposed to the U.S.).
One spring on each side 👍. It’s a pain to replace the one side . We all stick something in the pivot after taking out the pivot . It’s a pain but totally doable
I literally just saw one of these on EBay and was confused. I didn’t even know they came out with a new blade style, I never cared for the original model, it was just boring. This one looks pretty good, in a different color handle, lol. What was the name of the other Vosteed you compared it to? Sounded like you said Prime.

Absolutely. I took the grind apart and wasn't thrilled with the experience at all lol
Neat knife and lefty friendly.
Vosteed always seems to get it right
Got that yesterday and did a video, as well as a take down video! Great minds 😂
That's awesome man! I hate taking these dudes apart 😂
@@mightyMC_edc it was not enjoyable and too early for whiskey

Sorry about that my sinuses are battling me, the other one is the Grind.

i hate SPIDERCO products
I don't hate them, but I do think they are overpriced.
