I spoke with the owner and he does some of the assembling in the US and he’s located in California, but the knives are manufactured in Taiwan. He dose source his all his materials from Austria, Sweden, and the United States. I have the same Drift except the newest model has thumb studs and I also have the Waypoint. Both are awesome EDC knives pretty close to perfection IMO...
Beautiful knife. For me, it's just the right size for an EDC knife. I just wish it was more reasonably priced. I'm not saying it's not worth the $315/$325 Quiet Carry is asking for it, but it's a little rich for my blood. If it used something like S35VN or 20CV steel and was priced at around $200 (or less) I'd be all over it.
I own this knife with the orange cerakote and I have two issues with it. I have trouble disengaging the lock, although I have seen improvement as I break it in. My other complaint is with the thumb hole and the tip of the scales. During opening, the scale tip passes directly over the hole. This interferes with your thumb as you attempt to open.
I just got the waypoint. I have the green IQ.... I might have to just buy all the quitecarry knives bc they are all beautiful. I dont care for linerlocks but the west is sick looking also. and the strand looks sweet although its discontinued which blows. great stuff.
You're correct about toughness, but not edge retention. Larrin Thomas of Knife Steel Nerds is an actual metallurgist. This report is extremely scientifically in depth and conclusive. Read the section on Vanax knifesteelnerds.com/2020/05/01/testing-the-edge-retention-of-48-knife-steels/
@@metal_complex good information sir, contradicts what I’ve read elsewhere but this has solid testing and data to back it up. Still looks like a superb steel as an EDC and the bump in toughness over M390 is worth more than ultimate retention for me at least
Quiet carry seems to just be knocking it out of the park. I’m personally not sold on the prices they’re going for. But it’s something different and I can appreciate that. Definitely a cool knife for sure
I love this knife. It makes it into my pocket frequently along with my Neutron and Mini Bugout. While it is difficult to reliably thumb flick, it is AMAZING for spydie flicking.
Made in US? Has Bryce finally released that info? The dude has been so secretive about where any of his products are manufactured. I really like my iQ and plan on getting the Waypoint eventually even though he's so weird about manufacturing questions.
It’s made in either Taiwan or china not the US. I have the waypoint and the quality is top notch to be honest. Reminds me of the Taiwan made Spyderco’s
Argggg, noooo!!! Y did they have to make it utilize phosphor bronze instead of ceramic caged bearings??? I was so infatuated with this knife when I assumed it ran on bearings 😩🤦♂️
What are the chances I got one today!? I had a hell of a time finding one. They are sold out. But I got mine from someone who gave me the exact price MC mentioned as a “better” price for it. I hope it lives up to the hype. Especially MCs incredible excitement!
That's a good looking knife. It is shorter than I expected. For me, I want a four-inch handle so I can wrap all four fingers around it. I've come to detest knives that only allow me to get three fingers on the handle.
MC great channel but a bit more research may be needed. The knife community is already full of misinformation. This knife is made in China AND is an uncredited 'homage' of a great custom.
I'm gonna miss stuff every now and then. I've said many times, I depend on my comments section for additional information in some cases and this is one of them.
Hi Innt it - just wanted clarify there is correct information at quietcarry.com regarding our process. The Drift was published circa 2018. Please feel free to reach out at info@quietcarry.com if you have any questions about any products Thank you.

ordered one myself yesterday! Can't wait to get it!
I passed on this one but there seems like an updated version of this with a thumb stud. awesome review as always!
It took me a couple of watchings a to realize this doesn’t have a thumb stud. I like this version better than the thumb stud (mine) model!
Dig the Drift. Crazy how similar it appears to the Oz Machine Works Roosevelt everyone has been going insane over right now.
Right!? I was thinking the same thing. The Roosevelt is pretty much a custom version of the Drift👌🏼 but with a straighter/more boxy handle
@@tristandauod And half the price...
Wow, I was having a bad morning until you made the “grouchy Shaman” joke. Thank you for brightening my day. 😊
😊👍

I just wish it where bigger! Than I would safe for it! Thank you for showing MC
This! 👆 3.5”+ blade with blade stock remaining thin.... take my money!!!
Ya id actually like to see that too
@@firemedic5170 agree totally! 3.7 and I leave my wife and marrie the Knife! 😅( just joking). 🤫 Maybe she read that....😒
Good looking design. Simple and straightforward....cutting tool . Simplicity at its best. Good review, thanks for sharing 👍😎
Vanax is tougher and sharper for longer than M390, and basically rust-proof. M390 is the budget option to Vanax

I just bought one. Wish they never did away with the hole for studs. Man this looks so good.
Have you tried the new one that has thumb studs?

Professionally heat treated Vanax steel. The price is a steal. Can’t find a knife less than 500 with proper Vanax.
@@emak4558if it just ran on bearings I’d happily pay 500 for it😩😭
The leather pants make me laugh every time. It makes me think of Ziggy Stardust with a 4Max carried IWB
The company is in California, but they are not made in the United States.

How would this compare to a TRM in your opinion?
Made in US? Has Bryce finally released that info? The dude has been so secretive about where any of his products are manufactured. I really like my iQ and plan on getting the Waypoint eventually even though he's so weird about manufacturing questions.
made in taiwan per website
Very cool, drift ,like texture titanium .wire clip good. Awesome slicer Kerry
Where did you get a drift with a thumb hole I have one with thumb studs I hate thumb studs
Very nice looking blade. I don’t go for the all metal handles, personally, because they are bad news in cold/freezing climates.
which drift has the hole in the blade?
So I just ordered one of these and now they have thumb studs! I wanted the hole! Of course!
Me too. They had a black pvd version with the hole and I passed it up. Now I wish I would of gotten it. I don't like thumb studs
Looks like a smaller we malice without the flipper tab.
@metal_complex I wish they would do the thumb hole Drift again….😢
Okay how much, where can I get one?Kerry
This Channel is costing me a lot of money 😅
This is definitely on my hit list! I just need them to restock!
There in stock
"Made some serious waves" - excellent, just got the joke!
It’s made in either Taiwan or china not the US. I have the waypoint and the quality is top notch to be honest. Reminds me of the Taiwan made Spyderco’s

Well? How is it?
We need a large version
I’ve been looking for a drift for many months. If anyone has one for sale. Please let me know. Thanks!
In stock now
Not made in the US
I’d have been all over this if it didn’t have a finger choil. Definitely a cool knife
Soooo it's a native 5?
Not even close. Blade shape/profile - different. Opening hole - different. Lock type - different. Materials - different. Pivot system - different. Pocket clip - different. Overall dimensions - different. I'm honestly not sure where the similarities are?
Oh please, no not a steel lock bar insert. An LC200N lock bar insert. did you miss that ?
That's a good looking knife. It is shorter than I expected. For me, I want a four-inch handle so I can wrap all four fingers around it. I've come to detest knives that only allow me to get three fingers on the handle.
Damn this one sold out. Can’t believe the price.
If you still have this knife please sell it to me

This knife is made in china, not the USA.
We figured that out a while back, but thanks
