They really just needed one more jimp at the top of the flipper. He got it right on the Padre so it's weird that they missed on this one. Otherwise, I really love the Gringo. btw, they list it at 6.27 oz, but it only weighs about 5.9 oz.
I’m a lefty that has zero lefty knives and am just so used to right handed knives that idk if I’d even like a left handed knife anymore 😂 the industry changed my handedness?! 😂
Got mine yesterday and the detent is actually too savage. Had a hard time opening it with two hands out of the box. I think it needs a little tear down and bent the lock bar deal, and a little lube on the detent track. Cut the shit out of my ring finger playing with it yesterday.
Roman Kase does s390 at 68HRC and its still tough enough to smash into an anvil repeatedly. I dont truly think any production company at ALL properly heat treats and cryo treats their steels. But id love to be proven wrong.
You clearly don't know Kunwu is well know for having their steel very well heat trated, not soft steel like other chinese companies, but Kunwu it's ok another level
@LeftyEDC - thanks for another great review - really enjoyed this one! Just curious... what was that slipjoint you showed briefly, with the wood covers?
Rosecraft. Not sure of the model. I realized after it’s really hard to pinch open. 🤣. Its one i did a video on last month. If i find the name ill let you know
I love large hefty knives. I was gifted an Elementum II and a Pyrite. Both are too light in the hand, have weak detents, and therefore actuating them is not satisfying at all. Just dainty blades that flip out like a limp D. 😂 I want a heavy large blade, crispy detent, and a nice “thwack!” when opening.

Thank you so much for watching and following along. I have such a blast bringing new content to you and am always open to chatting, so feel free to reach out anytime!
-Kev
Just ordered a Primo this morning. The Gringo is nice, but too big for me. The Primo is just my style of knife
Thanks been looking at this for a while and having a left hand perspective helps a lot.
Been looking at this for a hot minute! Love it! Another beautiful Kunwu!
S390 is close to t15 steel and is vanadis 30 equivalent. It has great toughness to hardness ratio. Up to 68 hrc. So it can be darn hard.
Top notch - Kunwu is amazing
They really just needed one more jimp at the top of the flipper. He got it right on the Padre so it's weird that they missed on this one. Otherwise, I really love the Gringo. btw, they list it at 6.27 oz, but it only weighs about 5.9 oz.
Wow wasn’t aware of this one! Beautiful
i’m a lefty and i have the same problem with lefty knives because im so use to righty framelocks
I’m a lefty that has zero lefty knives and am just so used to right handed knives that idk if I’d even like a left handed knife anymore 😂 the industry changed my handedness?! 😂
Got mine yesterday and the detent is actually too savage. Had a hard time opening it with two hands out of the box. I think it needs a little tear down and bent the lock bar deal, and a little lube on the detent track. Cut the shit out of my ring finger playing with it yesterday.
Get one of those hand exercise balls 😂. Hope it breaks in for you
This thing looks crazy! In a good way
Thanks Kev
Man what a wicked knife that thing is a banger premium spyderco of China made sense to me great video man 👍
sweet video man. not a ton of quality reviews on this knife yet. where’d you get the band for your watch from?
Roman Kase does s390 at 68HRC and its still tough enough to smash into an anvil repeatedly. I dont truly think any production company at ALL properly heat treats and cryo treats their steels. But id love to be proven wrong.
You clearly don't know Kunwu is well know for having their steel very well heat trated, not soft steel like other chinese companies, but Kunwu it's ok another level
This may be my first Kunwu or the Padre... hmm
I wish every milled clip was as nice as the one on the high grains deville
Premium Spyderco of china I like it lol
The primo steel, idk. VANCRON?
@LeftyEDC - thanks for another great review - really enjoyed this one! Just curious... what was that slipjoint you showed briefly, with the wood covers?
Rosecraft. Not sure of the model. I realized after it’s really hard to pinch open. 🤣. Its one i did a video on last month. If i find the name ill let you know
What bit driver is that?
Honeydew pattern... like the skin of the honeydew fruit
I usually like poons and the gringo is no exception... but I cant help but notice how beautiful this knife would be if the poon was removed
Friends don’t let friends buy Kunwu
Yeah cuz u will want every model they make once u handle one.
@SteelAddicted yeah I brought the orian last year . Now have 5 . So much for just one dress knife . P.s that orian is my go to edc .
That's a big bad boy!
What would you let em buy Walmart specials 😂
@@racecar9183
At $10 you could buy a Wally World knife once a year for life at the price of one of these!😂
Kunwu is the best imo. This one just too big for me sadly. They stay true letting me flip the clip lol very important to me.
Definitely a beast!
Bet you don't carry it more than a couple of days
I don’t carry anything longer than a couple days. Haha. My desk is filling up with boxes. Except the Binge. Been carrying that for a week.
I love large hefty knives. I was gifted an Elementum II and a Pyrite. Both are too light in the hand, have weak detents, and therefore actuating them is not satisfying at all. Just dainty blades that flip out like a limp D. 😂
I want a heavy large blade, crispy detent, and a nice “thwack!” when opening.
That's a brute!
Pretty sweet, but too large for me. I'm waiting for a "Gringito" 🌮🌮🌮
Lefty edc... lefty politically or lefty dominant hand?.. or both? 😅
Dude, if I didn't just get the Excalibur I would jump all over that knife.
I've learned as a lefty I won't buy a knife that doesn't have a reversible pocket clip.
Even if its left handed?
@LeftyEDC Well I've never seen a left handed knife. Maybe because its real expensive?
Clean design > Pocket clip holes. As a person with OCD, I prefer knives that don’t have pocket clip holes on the true show side.
Did you even watch this video? 😂😂😂
@spirona yes I did. Beautiful knife!!
Sweet
