This seems like a nicer looking lever than what the home front had,would be cool to see upgraded versions of this. Also, don't worry I didn't change my name to Mattress Wizard.
There is one coming... in S35VN with a MSRP of $250. Also, the handle has some cool Hawaiian pattern. Oh, or did you mean an Homefront with the Field Strip 2.0?
@@etherealicer are you not referring to the introduction version in S35vn en Ti? That was a limited edition that is not available anymore. I have not heard that they will re-release that one.
The stock photos of this knife really don't do it justice. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the faux bolster look, but that's a really clean looking knife. Might just be adding this to my list! The new iteration of the field strip mechanism looks pretty nice too.
Don't question Ken Onions design ;-) The liner sticks out non obtrusive in my opinion, but well that are just my feelings about it :-) About choke up, I have more slim fingers and it;s perfect for me, so it depends also. I don't know if it is my Bona or repetetive issue, but I feel a bit of lockstick, but as it is steel liner this probably will disappear (I hope). All in all this feels very nice EDC for people who don't need to stick to max 3 inches rule in theri state or country. The black and green version has a full flat grind I think, but it comes in 1.4116 only, so it's a bit of downside, so I prefer the aggression of D2, even when it's not hair popping sharp. Edit: somehow missed your lockstick comment :-D
Fair enough on arguments for the cost and new technology. But if it were selling for $70-75, I'd already own one rather than just having it on my wishlist. If you're going to have it at $100, why not go to $110/120 and put something even marginally better on it like VG-10. Seems to me it would generate that much more interest and less scoffing from the steel snobs. Kershaw Link is available USA made with 20CV steel for $76... All arguments made, materials, build quality, origin, patented technologies, for the price... that's way more impressive IMO.
Never had many liner locks stick . But All my compression lock para mils 2's and 3's stick . And I hate that popey snappy feeling when I go to unlock the compression lock and it kinda like snaps to the unlock position. Just kills it for me ... my maxamet para 2 is the worst-case so far .
I'd be fine with nitro-v or 12c28n for a little bit more money, I think the stainlessness of the steels would fit well with the field strip. edit: I meant 14c28n.
I like CRKT they think outside the box I've had my eye on this but after watching your in-depth review I don't think its for me thank you for the review m.c going to go sub to this "nick Shabazz" guy as I've heard quite a few respectful comments about him, 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
I like that you used a flashlight to look at the liners. Instead of just using the field strip to take it apart.
People so easily disregard the R&D cost (probably done by an American) that it takes to innovate like this. New ideas are expensive for a reason. 🤯
I like D-2 it's so easy to sharpen, and I think $99.00 is so worth it. Thank you for the review.

this fieldstrip is just genius i got the old one on my CRKT HVAS and it was already very good but this one is amzing really good tech from CRKT
This design is genius I love it

I like this knife. I hope CRKT does a version with higher end materials like they did with the Homefront that was reviewed on this channel.

Nice, I was wondering about the field strip tech. Thanks man.
I love seeing innovation no matter the source! Great work, CRKT.
Honestly ckrt has had a ton of innovative designs. They just haven't always executed them well.
I, for one, agree with you. Have one coming from Knife Center for $80.
I was just looking at this at the store thought about buying it thought I would research a little bit I'm a Benchmade
Guy myself
Guy at smkw sold me the green one and told me it was d2 steel. Guess I should have looked it up first.

Another great review, but did you say the pm 3 is larger than the pm 2. Something in the comparision portion of the video
Interesting I just wonder if it will stay centered and rock solid over time of taking it apart but very interesting
@16:50 Classic MC imitation!! Hilarious 😂 😆
that is kool. Now for the bad . Whats it cost ?
I like D2 a lot, I like the design a lot and I would have bought it if they charged 160 and made in America

I really need a upgraded steel
here it is..D2 is a nice upgrade.
I like D2 and I like that knife too

edit: I meant 14c28n.
More for 12c than D2? I don't like D2 but damn that's cold haha, 14c28n maybe.
@@jameshealy4594 Oops my bad. I meant 14c...
@@J_Montagu Ahhh makes sense now, 14c is fantastic stuff IMO.
OK, Now Blind-folded...!!!
The day I pay more than 50 bucks for a crkt is the day hell freezes over
CRKT $80 worth of design on a $20 knife steel. So dumb. But kinda what they do.
What sharpening system do you recommend??
KME 👍
Nice review im ok with this knife.
Mama said you got hit by a train
He's bona fide what are you
One of the best movies showing a man will do anything for his family haha, right dapper dan?
