Hi Rob, great review of a beautiful knife…I have the og drift and always wanted a larger version so probably gonna pick up the OD green…FYI-lc200n liners/marine grade stainless steel hardware and phosphor bronze washers don’t rust, they tarnish 👊
Wish this thing ran on phosphor bronze washers like the original drift. I've been moving away from bearings due to how they get gritty when they get dirty. This one was so close to being an inst-buy for me.
@@Robs_Nerdy_Knives Yeah I have actually! I've got a paysan that I threw some on and it made me love the knife so much more. I'll have to think about giving this knife a shot. That OD green version is calling my name.
Understood. You do you and what you favor. I love flippers, too. I felt the same way until the Urban EDC F5.5 when I realized a thumb hole can work for me… but that is up to each of us, right! 👍 It is not for everyone, as some love thumbstuds only, some flippers only, some front flippers only, some thumb hole only, and some a specific combination of the above. I never bought a Chavez and was not interested in the kickstop until so many were totally enamored by it. I tried it to see what the big deal was. Until then I would not do flipper only on any knife. LOL.
Hey Rob, while on the hunt for a new EDC I've watched a couple of your QC reviews. Your comment earlier lead me to this video, which basically checks all the boxes in a knife that I am looking for besides the size...Would you say that the Drift LC is significantly larger in hand/pocket than the Nine? All I have is a Sage 5 in my pocket. I've tried an AD20.5, and the size was manageable but I was not a fan of the detent, or lack of.
The Drift LC and Nine are super close in side with being contoured. If are fine either way with thumbstuds or a thumb/fuller hole, they are close. Also, one has a side (Drift LC) that is G10 and one is more Ti with an inlay. I put Skiffs in both of mine (not necessary, but just is nice), so they have great and equal action. I love both, so I can tell you that I feel anyone who likes the aesthetics of both would be happy with both. I have both because I like both, but if you’re not ready to get both, then you will likely be very happy with either one.
I can sort of see that, but it is different in overall ergonomics, though. Thumbhole actuating knives do have similarities, but this one has a lot of Quiet Carry uniqueness. 👍😁
Are you the Vu Pham from Kizer knives, by any chance? If yes, what does take a channel to be considered for your affiliate program? If not, sorry to have bugged you.
Have one on the way. I'm excited to get it. I wish they would offer a full Ti version as well.
There have been a lot of requests for it, so they may. Congrats on the soon acquisition. 👍
Yes.... I want one.
If the spydieflick doesn't work with your midlefinger try your pointer finger.
Thanks, and I will try it. It’s ridiculously good.
Tristate sent me and boy am I happy to be here. You’re the man Tristate!
Thank you!! You are way too kind!!

Thank you! Congrats and great choice on a great new knife!
My wife asked me how many knives I would have if I could buy whatever I wanted. My answer was "yes".
🫣😏😜☺️😂

Have you checked out the tick PB washers by Skiff for that very reason?
@@Robs_Nerdy_Knives Yeah I have actually! I've got a paysan that I threw some on and it made me love the knife so much more. I'll have to think about giving this knife a shot. That OD green version is calling my name.
Cool! I hope it works!!
If it had a thumb stud and flipper tab it could be my favorite knife.

Tristate sent me your way! Glad to be here.
I am glad, too! Thank you.
Tristate has nerdy knives too. Those are the best kind.
Yes, sir!!
Tristate sends his love
I’m so honored!!
Rob, you should try the waypoint. One of the best edc knives ever produced.
I have heard that, so I’m sure it’s awesome. It just does not pull me in as much as the Drift. Maybe a cool subscriber will loan the knife to me. LOL.
It reminds me of the Fox Core.
I can sort of see that, but it is different in overall ergonomics, though. Thumbhole actuating knives do have similarities, but this one has a lot of Quiet Carry uniqueness. 👍😁
Tristate aka Beef Boy is delirious from Arby’s and pickles. He sends his salty love to your channel. All the best!
Salty love is the best! 😂
