Today, we'll take a look at a knife that's pretty attractive, with an amazing blade, that's made with Integralty: the BRS (Bladerunner Systems) Evolve Eon.
Getting less patient with death-lock, and framelock flippers generally. Also moving away from blades over three inches. Currently I carry a MiniGlimpse alternated by a Protech SBR and a Freek. I own the BRS Minuteman, a handsome knife that looks like it's issued to TIE Fighter pilots, and the Apache looks interesting too.
I do like the design and if I just had a little more money in the bank, I might pull the trigger. I am a Isam fan though and love the first look at this knife. Nice review Nick Shabazz.
I have been very impressed with brs evolve line knives.! I have their thresher xl knife and wow it’s nice 👍🏻! The price is unbeatable and the action is impeccable! I think in the near future you will definitely see this brand easily competing with Reate, kizer and we knife co. Well done brs! 👏
I generally find Isham's work to be hideous (most of them look like props from a bad Syfy channel original movie to me), but this one is really attractive. And a sub-$300 integral on top of being really attractive? Fantastic.
Going against you on this one Nick. I like a thicker knife because you can get a better grip on it for cutting tasks. That's what a knife is made for...cutting. The thin handle craze is ridiculous...how a knife rides in the pocket should not be a major concern in designing a knife. Another thing...Weight. A knife cuts better and holds your "cutting line" when it has some weight on it along with the pressure of your hand. Again... a knife is made to cut. This is a assume knife design and for me it would be great if it were 3.75"-4" on the blade length. Then it would be an "aussummer" design. Be Well
Wow! Agree 100% on that price. I expected you to say like $375, which I would have said, eh, fair. Cool review and your disassembly vid was instructive.
What would you say your average price point is for knives you review? I would love to see more budget friendly reviews. (25-100$) this won't stop me from watching though. Love the channel. Thank you.
@@thomash4578 My brother is left handed, I tell him it's a curse anytime it comes up (obviously in jest). In response he has passed the curse down to my niece.... Karma is a thing haha.
What did you get for the behind the edge thickness measurement? I know you said it was thinly ground, but would like to know the measurement obtained to better define the thinness. Thank you.
There is an ugly here. The unnecessary addition of the upside down light bulb plate on the pivot. The blade profile is lifted directly from the ZT 0770. Shame on you Elijah. At least you added a triangular hole to make it less obvious. Pass.
@@nwmetalbug Guess you need to to check out what a D shaped pivot is. It allows for a simple and cleaner design with a round screw head on either side of the scales without those unnecessary plates. The pivot pin is flat on one side that locks into the scales internally on a matching round hole with a flat spot too. The pivot is threaded and a screw on either side finishes the blade pivot cleanly. Better looking than those twin beer can pull tabs I'd suggest.
Ivor Forrester Don’t quote me on this, but I’ve heard that BRS Evolve knives are made by the Kershaw OEM (which does make sense given their relationship with Kershaw).
Wow, nice knife! Most of your “bads” are kinda goods for me, on a larger knife. Quick question - do you know why it would be listed as “discontinued “ on knifecenter.com? Thanks.
anytime my knife is not in stock on knife Center I think the default is discontinued however the project is not discontinued and I think they should be reflecting them is in stock very soon.
The Nick is a scientist and, as such, prefers metric but is aware of his audience being primarily from the US ( the last country in the world not using metric)
I just got mine today. Very Disappointed with the Green Finish. It is a Dirt & Scratch Magnet! As soon as you take it out of the package and handle it, it turns a dull, dirty-ish dull green color (No, my hands were not dirty). If you bump the handle lightly against anything, it scratches. The knife out of the box had very light to touch frame lock release lock-up if you tried to open the blade. You have to just grip the belt clip when trying to open it, or it will not open. The pocket clip is way too tight going into and out of my pocket. You would think a knife over $300 wouldn't have all these problem, but so much for this one. On the positive side, I will say that it's solid built, the blade is very sharp and centered and the detent is perfect, but this will probably be my Last purchase from this knife company!
PS, I posted this message earlier today and when I came back later, it was deleted. I am reposting it again now. If you are going to continue to delete my honest experience with this knife, I will take further actions on this issue.
It reminds me very much of the Kershaw Natrix...
Closing in on 100K, keep truckin' man great video.
"Nice lanyard-hole." was my first thought. Almost fell of my chair for thinking it. Nice to know there's at least two of us!
That is a stellar price for an integral. I would love one.

Very nice. Wish they’d make a lefty. Until then my left carry Megatherium will fill the position.
Great review of a unique, “artsy” integral. At about $300 with a 3.5 “ M390 blade this knife just might tempt my wallet to smile!
Does this have an over travel stop

It almost reminds me of a WE Arrakis - but without most of the holes.

The MBK XLC is ( was it’s currently sold out) $300
I'm starting a petition to rename integral knife to taco knife. I certainly love tacos more than I love integrals.

It really is a beautiful knife that just needs a little refinement. Thanks for the review.....

Nice knife. Looks a bit like the Giantmouse GM6. Are you going to review one? Would be cool! Thx
Cool looking knife!
Haven't a design like that In eon's.
if only this had a sub 3.5" blade....it would be my new dream knife for sure
3.25 and about 2.5oz !
What would you say your average price point is for knives you review?

Thank you.
It would be nice to be able to finger flick it open. Has the hole for it but seems to be not made for that. It would be a huge plus for me
Interesting piece...
Left handed people get no love with high-end knives.
I can only think of Chris reeves knives
Bingo
Sinister people shouldn't carry knives. :)

Is this the first lanyard hole that Nick Shabazz does appreciate...

Looks like the way WE did their 702 series. Sure it's Reate making this?
BRS Evolve Eon -vs- Reate Jack $290 -vs- $325. You get a lot more knife with the Reate for $35 more.
Wow I definitely assumed with m390, titanium integral it'd be at least 350..
I have sinned, “nice lanyard hole.”

That plate holds in the stop pin.

Well thats how he designed it and im fine with it. When you get your design in production let me know I might buy it too.
Yeah thats the ticket!
God, I just got “make a reate-ive guess”! Duh me!

Inches ounces... What the heck are you talking about? :D
The Nick prefers to measure knives in Freedom Units

It's not deleted. Neither is this one. Calm down, and contact BRS.
I guessed $300 lol
YAY!!!MORE CHINESE MADE KNIVES!!!
Looks a lot like the the Spyderco Drunken, but more boring and a flipper.
