Just got mine, in the ebony wood scales. Bit of button stick right out of the case, and a little small in my hand. And the mono positional clip makes little sense, but I digress, I am a righty after all. Also, I do wish they had gone for this blade shape on the Large Pyrite format, but it is what it is. And that is very very classy. A co-worker and fellow knife enthusiast took one look and asked for the link I bought it from. It’s my first experience with their powdered steel recipe, so we’ll see what’s what when I unbury the strop from the sharpening door. Gonna use the factory edge for a bit first, just at work at the grocery store, and on date night. 🖖🏻
Last year, I was torn between the Pyrite Alt and the Vision FG, and I went VFG since I already had a button lock in the Kizer Swaggs Sway Back. But, now I’m glad I waited since I love the Bowie look way more than the Alt. However, I’m still compelled to wait for a more premium steel, tho I’m not sure I will be able to hold out. 😂 Then again, before I buy any new knives, I really oughta at least get some Wiha torx bits and a driver, as well as a respirator and filter, since using my WorkSharp Ken Onion Knife & Tool Sharpener with just a KN95 was not so wise, tho I only did that a handful of times, so hopefully the damage done is minimal… 😅 I also probably should get some sort of food safe oil for my blades, just in case I use them to open food packaging, which is rare, but I’d rather be safer than sorrier. 🙃 Finally, uh, what is De Niro up to? He’s strong arming Caribbean and other locales to build hotels and resorts, or at least I read a rather upsetting story about that from The Intercept a few years ago.
I can accept it's just me... I love my Pyrite Alt. I like clip points. I just can't wrap my eyes around liking this one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think maybe it's just the blade is a bit short for a typical blade / handle Bowie ratio?
This video triggered me, when you said sack, that made me feel uncomfortable, and your manic demeanor made me anxious, and please don’t handle the knives in such an aggressive manner, please remember some viewers may not take this well
Idk why I laugh every time I hear you say “It’s me, tri-state edc, with a little white sack”
Yeah definitely loving that wood grain and steel gives me that 70’s trucker jeans flannel type of knife look lol
The intro music is simply the best.
These are on sale right now for like $45 on Amazon
This might be one of the best looking budget bowies out there.
Mine hopefully by Tuesday! Also agreed, best intro music in the biz. Always brightens my day ;)
Hell yeah it's my new favorite version of my new favorite knife!

Nice looking knife!
Don't be afraid to spine whack it Tristate! I am supposed to receive the Rose Gold later today!

I got the rose gold, and the factory edge if kind of poopy. But for the money just fine
Just found your channel. Great review sir happy to be here 👍
It hangs the banger on the gong or else it gets the hose again. 💃🏼
Tristate gotta squeeze dat piz in there lol 🍻

According to Artisan Cutlery the handle of rose gold version is just steel, no separate liners. Confirm or deny? Thanks

Ya gotch’er ARRPM9 and yer AARP, you are set!
I love me a bowie clip point
Trying to decide if I want this one or the rose gold one. Don't want buyers remorse.
Where ya from man. I’m from the tri-state area myself
What part of the tri-state are you from
Ohio
Future me tell me how much I love that nice. 🔥🔥🔥
Ar-rpm9 is a “great steel”? Or is it barely acceptable?
Could’ve been knife of the year if it had been at least 8 inches or larger
❤
Who called the PINCH grip a PENCIL grip, this is blasphemy
in the Church of Hollow and must be reckoned with, Thanks Kole 😎
Rita Landing
I just call it RPM9, people will know what you mean 😂

Oh cool,(you know the rest...)
Make that fuller a long oval hole, ditch the studs and maybe I'd be down. ARRMP9, it's a tough one first thing TriState, we forgive you,
Damn i love this design. Makes me hot and bothered
Why is it not ambidextrous 😢
AARP? How old are you?😅😂
Old enough 🤣🤣
Near perfection ruined with a pointless thumb studs.

@@Sadwalrus-f3g please don’t ask me direct questions, it scares me….this is passive aggressive adjacent
