- In this video I provide a brief overview of the Extrema Ratio Glauca B1. While Extrema Ratio knives are uncommon in the US due to their competition and hefty price, these knives are high quality tools that can serve individuals very well. As there is not much information out there on these knives, I wanted to provide this video for anyone interested in the Glauca B1 or Extrema Ratio as a company.
There is no such thing as a dangerous knife only dangerous people.
Craig Jones that goes for all weapons
@@6themaker Damn straight 👍🏻
People are dangerous not weapons.
Unless you fall on it. Then it's a dangerous knife.
Or apparently if you store it in your pocket in this case.
Best knife maker in the world. They look weird but are so ergonomic and are better built then anything around. It’s probably the only folder I would use as a fixed blade.
You should try the RAO / RAO 2 as a folder with fixed blade ability
Very nice. I believe Extrema Ratio is creating a new version of this thing in 2024!
Those knobs are made to deploy blade but catching on side of pocket when u pull it out like a Emerson opener. I personally love them makes it quick to deploy blade.
those two flippers are a dual hilt and if you carry it on your right pocket the knife will be secure and you will have no problem waving it out of your pocket like I do with my CRKT M16-14SF. Im guessing just loosen up the pocket clip or something if its too stiff.
The title has more edge than the knife.
Hahah
I just bought the Cold Steel A10! Folder that is big, awesome and the first thing I did was drop the closing blade on my index finger! Lots of blood! Awesome option for about $120.00
Have one to. Beautiful design, nicer then the ad 15 and 20 IMO. It’s just a tad to big to carry so it’s a car knife for me.
Is there perhaps a smaller version of this? It's a beautiful knife just a little big for everyday carry.
Thank you
Tell me why you think civilians should have limitations on there freedoms to arm them selfs to any extent?
tyler well we don’t need to be running around with mini nukes for self defense lol.
I think you took the title a bit too literal. Just saying its not practical for EDC.
Should be used with the pouch/holster, uniform carry on opened not pocket/EDC as it was designed for but USD600+ might as well get a HK/Glock pistol or a Emerson Commander.
Totally agree
Spoons are too dangerous for civilians...
For real, you know how many times I've accidentally smacked my front teeth eating soup? Too many.
And yes the blade steel is böhler n690 the standard steel er uses
Hi, great review of the GLAUCA B1.
I was wondering the name of the movie at the beginning of the video. Thanks
Jérémy Odin The movie is called The Hunted starring Benecio Del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones. It is pretty good. Thanks for the comment and feedback.
Jérémy Odin THE HUNTED
I'm italian and i am a big fan of ER knives. I own a DOBERMAN4 and a MATO GROSSO.
But i have to say their folders sucks, except for 3 or 4 models, they still use that fucking liner lock sistem and it's a shame for an heavy duty knife, expecially with that range of price, i think the COLD STEEL locking system is one of the best available out there.
this knife is so similar to the M16-14SF. Its just higher quality, has a better tanto blade style, a little larger and it has a blade steel I've never even heard of... thats when I knew I needed to have it lol
GreenBeret42097 thanks for comment. Did you end up buying it? They just released a new Glauca you should check it out. I am wondering if I should do some reviews of my other extreme ratios.
Final Flash no I didnt but Im going to, this thing is like my dream knife right now
Johnny Shanksalot not sure edge retention could get much better. It doesn't seem to have lost its edge. I'm not a knife expert so I guess I got duped! I'm loving the knife though. Fit, finish, and function for its purpose can't be beat on this model in my opinion.
@GreenBeret42097
The Steel (bohler n690) is a pretty common mid-range steel, not cheap and not expensive, it's a bit above 440c and widely used in european knives. Good corrosion resistance, easy to sharpen and holds the edge pretty good (it's mostly hardened to 58-59 hrc).
It looks weird with all them different size screws in the handle.
Is deployment design not also for automatic opening opening as you pull from pocket?
That could be a possibility.
Craig Jones • exactly 👍👍
What I don't like about the knife is the partial serations,because it looks like only one side is done,and they are so difficult to sharpen,for me anyway,but I like the vid,I'm new to your chann,but very well done,thanks for sharing this with me...
Thanks. Just wanted to get info out there since there wasn’t much. Yea serrations suck especially on an EDC knife. They have there application but not ideal for the average joe in my opinion.
This,is by far one of tommy lee jones best movies .but they haven't aired it in years .
I have the Col. Moschin
Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto, cuts everything you need it to.
This knife is adopted and made for the French GIGN. THIS IS NOT AN EDC KNIFE.
Try with BF series of Extrema Ratio.
Yes. Good point. And I am 5 months in on my BF1. Really enjoying it so far. If anyone asks for a review I will post. Thanks for your feedback
Michele Scateni exactly. Who edc's a $900 knife? A cop takes it off you... $900 bucks gone... you lose it... again, all that money gone.
The way that works is if you carry right hand in the pocket the knife will not open only if you pull out for use! That's y the clip is reversible!
You should be able to lock it when it is closed to keep it from opening in your pocket
It is DESIGNED to deploy as you drag it out of your pocket…if you are not wearing skinny jeans of course.
I just came across this video & couldn't help but laugh. I have a Cold Steel Luzon Large that's my EDC & I love it.
Whats the fixed tanto at the end of the post?
Fulcrum compact desert warfare camou
@@Sherif132 savage blade
Looks like he's never used it...EDC?
Yea I never carried it. Just placed it on a mantel over a fireplace in a vacuum sealed glass displayed case
That is one big knife to EDC..
Автор, небольшая ошибка. Этот нож был разработан не для спецназа французских вооруженных сил, а сделан по заказу австрийских спецподразделений. Есть «Кобра», а эта модель была разработана для армейского спецназа
The finish on the blade is weak and scratches in use with the sheath. The knife is a fantastic design.
Forgot femoral artery and under arm attack
@N Vannote I know this man,can attack under arm o r femoral artery
It looks like any tacticool knife out there.
"A folding, fixed blade knife" that is the biggest oxymoron I've come across yet. Why don't they just make a fixed blade model?
Use your brain .
In fact don't , that's your issue.
I think they copied the old Gerber Parrabellum idea, just a higher end version
What a ridiculous notion to say a knife is "too dangerous for civilian carry" because it is good. The inference seems to be "let the masses carry the lower quality stuff." Reminder: The military and police work for the civilians, not the other way around.
It's just clickbait.
You need to EDC a fixed blade if you are expecting it to ave your ass one day. I have yet to see an Italian made blade than can go up against the industry standard and survive!
The sheath is *JUNK* (cheap shit) and I have no doubt the blade is also.
If you have a $200 + blade why would you scratch it to fuck by sliding it in and out of molded plastic (Kydex)?
Here is what I take out on a daily basis ...
th-cam.com/video/54oh_CZmcU4/w-d-xo.html
If you are in the US the customer leather sheaths I have made are the best I have seen by a custom guy. Eddie Hubbard.
Police are civilians. They love calling non-police "civilians" though as if they weren't civilians themselves lol
It’s just a joke. Try not take TH-cam too seriously.
Ray Gun I have the money where a 500 dollar blade getting scratched isn’t as big a deal to me. But I carry a gun to save my life. The knives are just for utility.
48 queens guards disliked this video 🤣
While I think this review is pants. I do like my ER knives. The B1 isn't a edc item. Its a specialist knife much like quite most of the range of ER blades. The reviewer would have been much better off buying a m1a1 if he wanted to buy form ER for an edc carry.
What's with all these cold steel fan boys? Everything I've read and watched makes me think they're just crap unless they're made in Japan.
Dude this thing is a lot of money. Walmart sells a blade for 1.97. I use them for just normal use. Kind of disposable. I think I would rather have 200 Walmart knives to one of these lol
Counter point 1buy cold steel is so so much better
CRKT M21 better carry. That knife is to much $$ to carry.
Tom Simmo I agree with regards to price. I carry a BF1 now for my folder and an Iraq JAC got fixed blade
Hmmm. My CRKT 21 has a lock for the blade too, and i got it for $25.
I don't know how much it waits I don't know what the blade is made from I believe it is called flex something, I know this knife is Shit bought one 2 months ago in Thailand (copy) but is ruined my pocket and cut my hand now it is the trash bin 10$ wasted
I wouldn’t call this knife shit. Super high quality. But def a folder not fit for pockets!
@@FinalFlaaaash No safety catch, open when you touch it' or when it is sitting in your belt or drop it by accident. CRAP system.
Well, that seals it. I'm sure there is no difference at all between a knock-off purchased in Thailand and the actual ER knife selected by French Special Forces.
@@8d4o0c4 Most knives sold in the EU are made in Thailand with very good quality components but the cheap ones from the 'market' in Asia are only good if nothing else is available. I will stick with my GERBER made in The home of the crazy and land of the Fucked up',,,, Deutschland.😜
Wow, that was the most unrealistic throw I've seen...
The price tag alone is a non-starter, I don't care how sexy it looks or how sharp the blade might be.
You tried to EDC that monstrosity? What're you Rambo? Are there a lot of rabid Crocodile-headed gorillas rampaging around your area? I'm pretty sure you'd get laughed at EDC'ing that in Fallujah lol.
It's not even big lmao
Yeah the movie.... 😊 i turned it off when he start forging a knife in the middle of a man hunt 😄😄😄
HHAHAHA that's really true. Got to love Hollywood.
I should have never commented with you cuz you have no clue about knifes weather it be folders or fixed. If you cannot call apon your knife to protect you in a life or death situation then my friend you are carrying the wrong knife
Constructive. Thanks.
It's dangerous because it's weird and ugly?
Hahah
My brother in law has one. It sucks. Spyderco, and even Benchmade(anti gun) is better than these fad type knives.
Benchmade anti gun?
Benchmade knives are the shit ftw
SOLID INTRO MAKES ME BE WANT TO BUY THIS KNIFE 🥷
Too dangerous for civilians? Wtf?
A Benchmade 940 is better in most respects. The gloca is wayy too spendy
I agree
Stupid looking knife I'm sure only an expert can carry!!!
There is literally no such thing as a knife fighting expert lol
looks like a horrible design, too gimmicky and not practical and IMHO not worth the hefty price tag. I would change the title of your video from "civilian" to "anyone" as the blade partially deploying in the pocket is bullshit and I'd be sending the knife back for a refund.
N690 is about equivalent to VG10 and a middle of the road steel as far as edge retention goes.
I think there could be law enforcement or military application for it, but I agree a bit gimmicky at the end of the day. Still cool to look at though haha.
@@FinalFlaaaash I agree, cool looks, but cool factor over functionality and safety just doesn't do it for me.
The problem is law enforcement and military personnel need simple tools that work, not over complicated, poorly designed tools that could potentially end up harming them while deploying the knife.
I honestly believe almost all law enforcement and military personnel would be far better served by the likes of a decent Zero Tolerance, Spyderco, Benchmade, Reate, WE, Hinderer etc flipper (or whatever deployment option that is best suited to Spyderco and Benchmade as they really don't do a decent flipper) and honestly they all (except Reate and Hinderer) will cost a whole heap less, plus most of the above listed brands are all offering knives in premium 'super steels' like M390 that will give a heap better performance.
Why do people who know nothing about knives persist in doing knife review. Like a 10 or so year old doing a review of a cheap bud k blade?
Because there is no requirement to prove knowledge, just another uninformed asshole with a dumbass opinion, he is dismissed, tommy Lee Jones wanna be.
I put this out there for anyone wanting to see more of it as I couldn’t find any videos out there.
chuck killawood constructive
What a dumb title..
Little advice folders are worthless this video tells me your a rookie you start putting on a folder they hope the locks PERIOD
Ive had some folders probably longer than you've been alive .you ever heard the saying you get what you pay for well stop being so damn cheap and buy one worth haveing mine have never ever failed me.
@@hotrodhotrod-wc3bu o really what about Kershaw you ever live on a farm i had a Kershaw close and dam near cut my finger of and fyi i dont buy junk RMJ tactical miller bro blades and Gerber LMF and im 48 not a kid
Yea, folders are good for utility, fixed blades are far better for self defense.
Seriously what are all you guys doing with you folders that you end up almost maiming yourselves. I don't know about you guys but my folders are mainly for cutting duties, no stabbing or prying crap.
Fixed blades are the only way to go plus you got hands like a girl what do you do for a living 😂
Folders are not hard use gear they are for people that use them to open mail like you
Jagdkommando tri- dagger is the most dangerous knife on earth.
Only if you have a minute to open it ;)
Looks like a gimmicky piece of shit
Gimmicky? Maybe a bit. Although its in mil/leo use over there. Piece of shit? Far from it.
