- This is a hype vs reality review of the Microtech Socom Elite manual with m390 steel. This is a comprehensive review with size specs and comparisons, and footage of me using the knife.
Dude, amazing review, the best I’ve seen on this knife and exactly what I was looking for that was missing with others… thank you!!
I've bought way too many knives just these past 6 weeks with my wife out of town! This is so hard to resist. I've been researching the 2019 Socom Elite for a couple weeks now. I think your presentation just put me over the edge-- thinking of getting the Tanto stonewashed blade with C204p. Thanks for the presentation. I mainly stick to EDC type folders ranging from Spydercos and Kershaws to Chris Reeves and Reates. I did buy a Microtech Hawk last month-- that is the only Microtech I own-- But I think I will add a Socom Elite tonight!!
Hahaha I feel you bro... the wife leaves us for too long, it can be dangerous lol Nice! I don’t think you will be disappointed. The build quality on these is pretty great, and functionally it is just a great user. Glad I could help, or play devils advocate on this one lol
@@inthepocket7405 Thanks for the reply! My Socom Elite arrives in 2 days-- looking forward to seeing how it handles. I went with the C204p blade instead of M390-- figured I'd try the c204p stonewashed blade instead.-- The Microtech Hawk I recently bought has C204p stonewashed blade as well.
I just ordered one. The tan tanto. So stoked.
Awesome man! I really dig their tanto, and probably will pick one up at some point.
I’m looking for one at the moment, not having much luck in the land of Aus though.
@@saheliumd7182 sorry bro. If you know someone in the us order it, have them order it for you and send it. Or will customs take it?
should i get TANTO or drop point?
@@0AznNinja0 my opinion a tanto. I would say it depends on what you will use it for and how you feel about sharpening a tanto. The are both so amazing you really can't go wrong
Finally got my manual in the partially serrated two tone black version. Excellent in every way!
That configuration of Socom has been on my list for sometime now, this vid has heightened my anticipation! Excellent review.
Thanks so much buddy:) yeah, it’s a good one to have on the list, and I don’t think it will disappoint.
12:18 "Just stick it in & go for it, & if it breaks, it breaks." Been my motto since I hit puberty...yesterday. LOL 😆
But serially, this is a great video & it makes me glad that I went out on a limb & just bought a black two-tone manual tanto combo edge. Especially since I generally don't like liner/frame locks, tip-down-only, or heavy knives. But I'd heard so many great things, & they're so hard to find (especially manuals) that I had to go for it. And if I don't like it, I can always give the next person a good deal on it even if it does mean I lose money.
But I don't think that will happen. I've owned maybe 15 Microtechs, all OTFs, & I think there will be something special about this knife. I don't do anything particularly rough with my knives but I think it'll be good to know that I can if I need to. Maybe I'm wrong, but I guess I'll find out in a few days. But I think I made a good decision buying one while I had the chance. 😃
Tight tight tight. Thats what tuco used to say a LOT in breaking bad))
Lol
Haha tuco was an animal
Great review - the Elite’s blade is a bit similar to the Chris Reeve Large Inkosi. I do the exact same thing when I sharpen my Inkosi, where the edge broadens towards the tip. This gives me much better slicing performances near that tip than if I were to match the tip bevel to the belly!
Those cardboard shots are really where your presentation is vastly superior to most reviewers' paper test. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the video. One of the best folders made for the money.
Of coarse... I agree
Outstanding review of an amazing knife. This one has been on my radar for a minute. Your information just cemented that. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
Thanks a lot brother! Yeah, it’s a great knife, and I will always have one in the collection👍
Great review of my favorite folder ever. Only problem I have is hanging onto one. My fifth and final will be here Saturday (apocalyptic m390 this go-around) and it’ll be my dedicated edc. Couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on the clip configuration. It just works with the Socom.
Being able to carry large folders reminds me how glad I am that I no longer live in Kommiefornia. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
Yeah😔 Things gotta change man... they(laws at least) have already gotten better in the last few decades, but it’s the mentality that needs to change. The gnarly tactical knife guys don’t make it easier to convince people though lol
@@inthepocket7405 Hey man. I'm 55 years old. I used to live in L.A. back in the old days when there was no limit to open or conceal carry of knives and people weren't going around stabbing everyone. High Schools used to have competition shooting teams and meet at ranges and no one was shooting each other. We used to get teachers permission to have our parents drop our hunting rifles at metal shop class and do work on them and no one was shooting each other. You used to be allowed to have three rifles on your rifle rack on the inside rear shield of your truck and there were NO mass shootings. It's a specific group of people that California has become flooded with that are indoctrination people into thinking knives are for killing. The day I left and moved to South Carolina for 12 years, I never experienced that mentality. Now I moved to socialist Oregon to help take care of my Pops, and all of a sudden, I'm surrounded by the same group of people I left behind in California. Good luck with your socialist state. It used to be great out there, but not anymore.
@mister smith. I live in Southern California and from what I know, I could be wrong. There is no restriction on blade length on folders. However, any auto more than 2” is illegal to carry also all dirks or daggers are illegal as well.
Yeah, I’m 36, so I didn’t really get to see that California, by the time I was born, it already started to go that direction. I lived in Florida for my twenties, and it was the complete opposite there. I just wish we could all find a middle ground🤷🏽♂️ the mass shootings thing is just absurd, and if you don’t teach the youth how to deal with their issues, and coddle them, it will keep happening.
Yeah, there is no legal length, but he is referring more to the people, and their mentality.
Got one today I love mine I found it on facebook for $400 shipped. it had never been breathed on since it left the factory
I like these hype vs reality videos, great job brother! You just costed me a lot of $$$$. Literally paused your video to pick up the satin blade with green body
Thanks a lot bro, I appreciate it. Lol yeah, sorry man🤦🏽♂️ I’m pretty sure you are going to be blown away though👍👊 Let me know how it goes.
Im a fairly new subscriber and just wanted to say I enjoy the length and depth of your videos I really dig it bro 👌 you've definitely made this even more of a grail for me lol
Man, thanks so much, and I’m glad you enjoy my style. It’s definitely hit or miss, and it’s the people like you, that are looking for the whole story, that these hype vs reality reviews are for. I know they are very long... I really appreciate your comment🙏
@@inthepocket7405 no problem bro 👍 your descriptions make it feel like I've almost held the knife which is a big help bc I don't have any stores that carry anything nicer than a Griptilian or Delica . So it helps tons 😊
I’m in the same boat brother, and it’s partially why I started my channel. So glad I could help you out👍👊
Have a clip point from 05/20 run of them in CTS-XHP. I wouldn’t want the scales to be titanium.
For the size of the knife it is so lightweight. When in hand you can hardly believe it’s the size
knife it actually is..
Great review! I think I want the manual over the auto after watching many reviews!
Thanks! The manual probably fires harder than the auto haha I can’t say though. I’ve never handled an auto Socom before.
A year later, you made me buy an Apocalypse M390 drop point.
I got a Microtech Socom Elite that was made 5/19. I was very disappointed when I got it. To open it I had to pull it with my other hand. It definitely didn't flip open with ease. I tried some Rem oil and working the knife open and closed and it still was difficult to open. Not even close to Free dropping. I'm returning it to BladeHQ.
Wow... I’m sorry to hear you got a bad one. You are the first person I have ever heard anything like that from.
James O'Neal
I have the same problem with my Tanto version-extremely hard to get past the detent-very sticky. Free drops (of course) though.
James O'Neal
The crkt ceo is the same for me
Loosen the pivot slightly.
Along with the large inkosi it’s gotta be my favorite knife. Such a dope knife 🤘🏻👊🏻
Two of my favorites too buddy:)
Got one of these on the way! Thanks for the video! Been enjoying your channel Kenny!
Right on man! Hope you absolutely love it👍 Thanks a lot David
is it dank?
I think thats why Emerson has stuck with the 154 CM. My Socom Elite #0766 from 2001 is 154 CM.
I like the all black socom elite because the mugger won't be able to see it in the dark.
Hey Kenny, it's a beast of a blade, great review.
Hey buddy👊 Yeah, it absolutely is. Thanks brother!
@@inthepocket7405 Did you loosen the pivot to get it that smooth or just let it break itself in?
Kenny I really like your hype versus reality videos they’re very thorough!!! I really like the the socoms I think they’re badass!!! I agree with you the only thing that could be improved upon is their HT and maybe steel choice!! Thanks for sharing brother!!!!👊👊👊
Thanks so much brother👊 yeah, they absolutely are, and I couldn’t agree more. 🙏👊👊
I totally agree with Kurt!
If they have to run M390 soft to fit the use, then M390 is not the right steel for this knife! That said I still love mine! 👍
I tell people all the time, a great knife is still a great knife, no matter what it tests at. 😉
We call out makers all the time when they run M390 type steels too soft for "toughness". Benchmade, Spyderco and ZT/Kershaw are not immune, so why are Microtech and Strider? 🤔
B H Me too bud... I want to see different steels. I love the knife, but it would be so much better with a different steel. Even 154cm would be a more suitable steel for the application.
@@jcoolG192 they seem to get away with more than most. No one seems to care about Strider's lock problems either. 🤔
Edit: problems may be to strong, but if other brands had the same lock issues it would be pointed out as negative.
@@Bushcraftandknives exactly! 😉
Nice edge job. Thanks for the review!
Great Video . I love your insight .
Thanks so much Brian.
very well knife
I've had exactly the same one before and sold it. Everything was great about this knife... except two things:
that terrible matt black finish on the scales and tip-up only carry.
I'm also agree about steel choice. It should be made out of something tougher than M390 like: Elmax, RWL34, SG2, Vanax, LC200N etc.
Personally I like m390 better than elmax I always wanted to try RWL 34 but I don’t think it’s a super tough steel plus I don’t have much info on sg2 or vanax but I’d love to see more blades in LC200n great stain resistance and plenty tough. I have an ultratech OTF in elmax and I love it just a little hard to sharpen.Personally my 2 favorite stainless steels at the moment are cpm154 and and my favorite AEB-L the longest lasting edge that are tough that still can be sharpened easily especially in the field are my favorite that’s why I love carbon steels especially in fixed blades a little dood grade oil is all u need plus a little patina looks great to me especially on a scandi when u end up with a shine grind and a nice patina on the spine are and before the actual scandi grind it just looks great like a man working knife that doesn’t sit in a knife roll in a safe. Pleas let me know without cash I can only trade the knives I bought when I had money for new knives I want to take a look at .
@OnitsukaTiger82
What u mean best standard of steel? It is, what it is a highly corrosion and wear ressistant steel. It is also quite brittle and difficult to sharpen. I don't need anyone to tell me about how good or bad the steel is. I've had few knives in that steel and that is my opinion on it. We can argue, but in the long run it doesn't matter bcoz everyone have its own taste and needs. One guy likes oranges... other like apples :]
Rafal Gladkowski you are a straight up knife snob 😂
Like this series by the way
Thanks bud👊
Metal Complex considers it a sunken in frame lock but it looks like a liner lock to me.
The detent on mine is really tight and hard to thumb flick. I’ve only had it two days. Hopefully it breaks in over time. Still like it though!
I can't believe that you don't like this knife this is the best knife ever made.
I’m super confused on how you deducted that I don’t like this knife from this review. I love my Socom🤷🏽♂️
@@inthepocket7405 dude I'm completely kidding. I'm probably going to buy it just because of this review
Lol 🤦🏽♂️ right on bro:) I guess it’s just because I do get comments like that, where it seems like they didn’t even watch the video. They hear one line and comment. I’ve been jaded by internet trolls🤣
Check out the new versions with the "Ram Lock".
I’ve got a tactical blade/hardware tanto manual version coming in the mail in the next couple days and I’m very hyped! My other Microtech folder is the Stitch. Other than that I’ve mostly had OTFs as I really love OTFs. 👌
Glad I’m not the only one here a year later lol. Mine should be here in the next 45 min or so tracking says.
@@sgt4204 ey that’s awesome. I know it’s going to be a sick knife. I spent too long watching videos online today about them. Haha. Enjoy 👌
Collin Bieber didn’t show. Ups sire knows how to play with my heart
@@sgt4204 how’s the action on yours? Mine is super tough to open
Collin Bieber my action is quite good. Does yours close under the weight of the blade? Mine is what I would call perfect action
I don't know why I am one of the only ones pointing things like this out and noticing things that nobody is mentioning? Everyone raves about this knife. I just got one. I cannot stand the deployment. It literally sucks and you have to practice. The handle has so little real estate, especially at the bottom where it needs more width, that you have to get used to really keeping your fingers away from the blade so you are not accidentally holding back deployment with an edge of your finger. I find the knife way too 'petite' for a 4" blade. This never happens on the Spyderco Para 2 or Military models, where opening is as smooth as butter and there is more real estate on the handles so you don't even think about where your fingers are. I find the handle on this knife to be way too small, too petite, and not beefy or wide enough, especially at the bottom. Sure it is well made. Once you get used to opening the knife the flipping action is great. All I know is after owning and handling Medfords, Hobacks, Microtech and other classics, I just keep going back to my Spyderco Military and Paramilitary 2 for EDC!
I like this knife. The deal breaker for me, is the soft M390. I'm not sure why Microtech gets a pass on it, but every other maker does not. I know, it's softer for "hard use". If that's the case, use a steel that is better suited for the task. If they used Cruwear, I would probably buy one. Hinderer and CRK usually test decent for the steels they use. Microtech and Strider run those steels soft, but they always get a pass. I don't like that. 😉
Of coarse you know I agree with you Kurt, and that why I talk about that at the end. Why don’t they use something else if that’s the thought behind it? Cruwear would be an excellent choice, but I know everyone is afraid of corrosion 😱😱😱 so use cpm154 or something🤷🏽♂️ they don’t get a pass in my opinion, I just had to state what their reasoning is, even if it’s a dumb reason lol
@@inthepocket7405 oh I know! We have talked about it before. My reply wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. Socom is a great knife, but Microtech needs to hear it from us, just like everyone else. When you really look at it, they are taking M390 to the same range as Steel Will. See what I mean?
Absolutely Kurt👍 oh, I know you know I know lol They definitely need to hear it, and I had another take of this review where I talked about it earlier in the video. I kind of wish I had used that one, because it brought more attention to it, and I know that most people probably don’t make it to the end of my videos lol
LOL...I know! Can you imagine this knife in Cruwear or 4V? Oh man, that would be sweet!
@Richard Davis I think I tested one in Elmax...might not have been a Socom. Pretty sure they ran it harder than the M390 though. I want to say 60ish.
It's no hype the knife is a badass self defense weapon.
M.s.c on my list auto one 👍😁hardcore combat ready.
I think a big "problem" with this if you are in the military is having it stolen by other soldier. I heard this is pretty common.
That is really sad man...
My friend had an Ultratech stolen. Its hard getting your stuff back if its stolen in the military. Most guys use cheaper knives just because you fear something like this gets stolen.
microtech is just awesome, can say whatever you want but there is nothing else that feels like the socom elite. some people call this overpriced becouse of aluminium... i call this knife underpriced for how good this is + my exp with customer service is awesome!
I agree, and I do think they are absolutely worth the price tag. I just wish they would choose a different approach with their steel/hrc choices. Otherwise I couldn’t be happier.
@@inthepocket7405 yea i totally agree, knife is perfect construction but i do get that they wanna go stainless for a military knife that would be used for longer periods of time without maintenance... as you said cpm 154 would have been better for this knife but i think that people would be complaining even more about overpriced blabla alu and 154 for 300us... so i do get why they went for the softer m390 i guess as it would have some of the properties of a harder cpm 154 imo as it would be relatively tough at that low hrc, it still holds a decent edge, very stainless and easy to sharpen in the field, yet doesnt make people that dont really get steel specific uses feel like they overpaying while they are not.
beary potter Manuel or auto?
I’m torn between the two. I like the easy close of the manual and the control on the linear lock.
But I like how the auto has that extra texture on the back of it..
@@DeathByLego manual will be more durable overall and less chance on back and forward play. Also no spring means less chance of stuff to break. I would go manual as it is exactly as fast as the auto version with more durability and less fear factor.
I'd be curious to see what they run other knives in m390 at. They couldn't possibly use the same low hrc logic with a knife like the utx70 or ludt.
Hey I’m new here and really enjoyed this and your other videos.
You mention it quite a bit but what the heck is HRC? Is 390 really not that great? It seems like all the sources online either say not to worry about the steel or 390 is the best type overall?
If I looked over one of your videos explaining steel and your thoughts about steels I apologize.
Thank you
I've been using it for food prep for the last 3 years or more. I'm not too impressed with the edge retention. How is your experience?
Killer channel..
Subscribed..
Thanks man
Is there a stainless steel insert in the titanium liner lock?
Yeah, there is.
Own signature socom. Good knife overall but for me its too big, handle inserts are cheap looking and closing hurts your thumb
I can understand the issue with the size, but I don’t the the inserts cheapen the look, personally. Also, what do you mean it hurts when you close it? Like the lock bar, or because it drops down quickly?
Well done sir!
Thanks a lot!
My favorite knife my Benchmade Presidio 2 is an ounce heavier than my Microtech which surprised the crap out of me being that the blade on the Microtech is so much thicker. As for now the Microtech pushed my Presidio out of my pocket.
I had both, auto and manual. I kept the auto. No regrets whatsoever.
I'm looking at getting one but have some hesitation about the long term durability of if the lock-mechanism. Do you notice any blade play/wobble in the open position? How do you like it (assuming you still have it of course)? Thanks!
i think it carries REALLY REALLY good, but then again i used to carry a Medford Predatorian full size.🤣
Hahahaha yeah, everything probably feels like a 940 after carrying that thing lol
@@inthepocket7405 lmao, throwing it was a better defense then using it....😋
Bit Rage 🤣🤣
I had one with the a "larger" linerlock. The linerlock part where you touch for closing, was going little over, looking much nicer than this. Do you know when these was produced and why they don't make the linerlock like that anymore? It's a small thing, but it felt and looked much nicer and better.
Interesting... I’m not sure. This one doesn’t bother me though, so I guess ignorance is bliss for me on this one lol
These are too expensive for what they are is the only thing. I mean you can get the same materials and size for half the price in other makes and models, spyderco for instance. That's why people "know" its overpriced. If it was titanium itd be a great price. Great video tho man
You make a great point with the M390. It has been overdone without the optimal heat treat. I wouldn’t mind cru-wear neither. Just a steel that can be taken up to decently high hardness and still retain toughness. AEBL, BD1N, or 52100 at 63 HRC, wouldn’t been sexy choices, but are definitely tough.
Would you customize for payment
Possibly... it would just depend on your time frame. I have a wife, full time job, and a channel, so I don’t know how quickly I’d be able to flip it for you. What are you thinking you want to have done?
It’s even worse in Massachusetts I can’t carry any button knife no matter the size of the blade and they try to convict u of a felony for having a 2 inch letter opener just because it opens with a button when I can open 60% of my other legal knives just as fast as an automatic
Barry Bueler yeah man... it’s so stupid. It really comes down to people’s perspective of knives and knife guys. The more people see videos of guys cutting pigs in half, and talking about tactical purposes, the more it makes people think of them as weapons, not tools. The auto law is definitely a dumb law. A fixed blade is already ready to go... you’d be better off with a 9” kitchen knife on your hip, but that would be legal. Doesn’t make any sense.
I prefer this knife with the thub stud over the auto
Same materials as a $100 USAMadeBlade Kershaw Knockout (also USA made) and for the price point you can get titanium. That's why people think they're overpriced. Weight is kinda irrelevant at this size. One to two oz is nothing.
What device if any did you use to put a 15* edge on it?
Good Review 👍
Thanks👊
Nice, I’ve been more drawn to Spyderco and Microtech and figured I’d eventually buy a Benchmade but after the things they’ve done they’ve lost my business so hello Spyderco and Microtech!
Is this a satin blade?
How much was it
Thanks for the video I am trying to decide between the socom and the LUWDT. After the anti 2nd amendment moments from benchmade I will not be purchasing from them.
Of course man. Awe, that’s a tough one, but I do think you could decide from your general use. The LUDT is a better slicer, just from the set up, and the Socom will be a better all around, and hard use.
Youre a new bee Tony been doing this for so many years...with this same knife...and more!!!!! but i agree with you here....too. Tony has been the innovator from the start.....even Chris Reeve says it......
I’d put mine against my sebenza any day
It's a more durable knife than the sebzena bu far.
Well, its still smaller compared to oh i dont half of cold steels)) voyagers xl, espada large etc)
Lmao Yeah, you have a good point👊
Kenny, I enjoy youe videos but the run time is too long for my preferences, 20 minutes is preferable.
Barry, I appreciate your input, but I have tried many times to try truncate my videos, but it seemed to be a frivolous endeavor. I shot this review twice trying to get the time down, and it came out nearly identical. It’s just the way I am... I am just thorough. Some of the knives are a 25 min video, but it just depends on the knife, and I never try to force it into a certain time limit, I just let the knife do the talking, so to speak. If you are looking for shorter reviews there are tons of reviewers(most of them actually) that do 20 min and under reviews, but the depth and thoroughness of my reviews is what makes them unique. I have thought of doing truncated reviews of the knives as well, but my time is short as it is, and I can’t see adding a whole new thing. I might try doing first impressions of each knife as well, and that would be in line with a lot of the other reviews. Then you can watch my hype vs reality if you’re looking for that.
@@inthepocket7405 Thank You for the information and I understand your perspective.
I got suck into the hype in the mora Garber 1428 stainless bushcraft knive not that good for a 100$ 😥😞i was told so.did not listen.
We all do man... I’ve definitely been disappointed in the past. We live and learn brother... it’s all we can do👊
I have 100 great blades so if u don’t like the socom I’m up for a trade can send pics maybe the ALmar sere 2000 camo g10 vg10 blade thick liner lock flicks open very smooth one handed operation literally mint condition sits in a pelican box specifically made for blades always wanted a socom but money has gotten tighter over the yrs I have fixed blades hatchets folders brass knuckles an antique iron claw works like new no rust a little wear because it was used by police in the 1950’s to control perps arms but it kept breaking wrists a 120 pound man can control someone 3 times his size with it and they haven’t been made for at least 60 yrs and will probably never be produced again so it can only go up in price I also have a brand new police issue baton I got from my brother who is a cop it’s not a $20 version u find on the Internet but a top of the line one in the $100 plus price range and is also in mint condition and I’ll throw in some knife stickers a mint condition ZT knife pouch that holds around 20 blades and at least 2 surprise blades nothing over $100 but some civivi’s kizers kershaws wtc or one knife of my choice worth over $100 either way the knives will be in great condition if not mint. I can also send my trade to u 1st so u don’t have to worry about the quality of what I’m trading if u have anything else in mind I have so many knives from spyderco ZT Benchmade and more and for fixed blades I have a BHK woodsman cold steel recon tops brothers of bushcraft knife some moras a few HK blades by Benchmade mint condition Vietnam edition kabar with a kydex sheath or a beat up leather sheath from my old kabar that spent 4 yrs in Iraq eastern cutlery and case slipjoint knives the RD Hawk 2 hatchet full tang good sheath 1095 steel a beast that can’t be broken without heavy equipment the Ontario sk-5 blackbird kephart style 154cm steel micarta handles Molle sheath sharp spine or the $200 plus hogue ex-05 flipper in mint condition flips great one hand operation and probably my favorite stainless steel cpm154 and more . PA I’d like that Hinderer also always wanted one but they’ve always been a little pricey for me I try not to spend over $300 on a blade but I can admit I have gone over a little a few times .
Yo Steam Burns are the worst
If only the clip were ambidextrous. Mine sits in my bug out bag.
Man I'm Soooo pissed r.n.! Made a deal with a guy from a convo in a comment section of one of OCD4EDC's vids I believe... so We had a deal in place where I was getting from this guy an orange *MANUAL SOCOM ELITE* & he was getting 2 knives from me in mint condition which were a Para3 & BladeHQ exclusive Blackout Bugout, so basically a straight up even trade as far as price goes... so we made the deal & was discussed/put in place yesterdy for us to ship out to each other tomorrow morning! So I was literally just about to msg the guy to make sure everything was good to go for the a.m. went to grab my phone & saw he had msg'd me saying "Oh man I'm sorry, I feel like a dick & all but I have to pass on our deal. someone made me an offer I cant refuse" so I had explained to him that we had a deal man! & I too have been in that same position before where I had made a deal with someone & before shipping, was offered a way better deal but what I did on more than 1 occasion said "I'm sorry but I already made a deal with someone! But if for some reason that deal falls thru, you'll have 1st chance! But as MEN, our WORD is all we have! & I'm a man of my word so I have to honor the deal I already made!"
Well apparently this guy doesn't feel the same way & isnt a man of his word, because I did NOT get all bitchy with him or anything... I just said what I just stated above, explaining to him that that's NOT cool we had made a DEAL/Had a DEAL in place already & I said "I cant lie to you, I'm a little pissed man" but he has yet to respond and that was over an hour ago so yeah.... SMFH!
I know i can NOT be the only MAN who actually KEEPS HIS WORD if & when I make a DEAL with someone for whatever it may be right?!?!?
So I'm still in search of a NEW or MINT *Manual SOCOM ELITE* preferably in O.D. green & Tanto blade but will settle for a different one as I was going to with this guy! I have them 2 knives I was going to trade him, but I also have other's and what I'm REALLY trying to sell or trade for the SOCOM I WANT is a MINT *L.E. Law Enforcement/Military Elite Edition O.D. Bll blade* Benchmade INFIDEL! I paid over $500 for it! Never carried outside my home! & Never made any cuts with it!
Anyone interested or can help me out plz lmk! Can provide pics & contact info upon request! Sorry for the little rant but this just happened & I'm pissed man, ya know?!?
Thanks Fella's!!!🤘
I agree a man should stick to his word but I don't trust people these days if I can't hold the product in hand I can't make a trade unless we go through a verified middle man . I've heard way to many horror stories of people being shipped a box of rocks or counterfeit goods . It's a shame but , it's the state of affairs these days 😥
@@OsamaBinDarrel yeah I've heard many stories like that as well my friend! And it's a SAD, SAD, FCKN' thing! What we did in the "Vape Community" was if someone did that or sent a clone/counterfeit etc, or any type of scumbag move, it really sucks for the person who got burned, but at least we'd spread the word far & wide across the world & "BlackList" that person! Is it REAL JUSTICE... Eh, maybe not! But @least wed do what we could ya know?!? And I e yet to meet someone like that in this community..... but what just happened to me with that... some would say it's not as bad or on the same level... but it kind of may as well be ya know what I mean?
@@larrymarsico4059 definitely but unfortunately people don't stand behind their word anymore . People don't think twice about going back on a promise but I was taught you that a man is only as good as his word . In other words if you say you're going to do something or make a commitment do it unless life or limb is at risk !
@@OsamaBinDarrel that's what I'm saying my dude! It's a Shame! And he contacted me and asked what I had, so I sent him some pic's & what not, he said he liked this & that, I said ok we can do that... we exchanged address' & set it up for us to ship out to each other Saturday *tomorrow* morning, then I get that msg of him breaking our deal tonight, smdh. Still have yet to hear anything back from him after I said I didnt think that was cool, that we had a deal & a MAN should stick by his word etc & that I've been in that position on a few occasions but had to stick to my word etc & just said "I cant lie man, I'm a little pissed" but no response at all since that! Smdh!
@@larrymarsico4059 Yeah screw that guy I hate that happened to you but who knows maybe you'll come across a better trade . What's important is you held up your end and that's all you can do .
The way you close knives bugs me lmao
Then watch another channel I guess🤷🏽♂️
@@inthepocket7405 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah. Super jew steave. His people are always sturring the pot
Wow... you’re a real tool aren’t you? Don’t like hearing the truth, I’m guessing.
Idk why anyone likes this knife.. its so ugly. Looks cheap too
$300 for a knife with an aluminum handle and a liner lock. How do you think that is a good price? Bro you can get a cold steel sr1 for less then half that that will outperform that. I can't believe I watched 5 minutes of that. Shoot a benchmade adamas or contego are alot less $ then that and way better and you get the butterfly.
Handle one bro👍 then come back and talk. The build quality doubles any of the knives you mentioned.
Sick bro
@@inthepocket7405 👍😆give that dam thing to vinninull or Lynn thompson and then make that claim.
@@inthepocket7405 highlight that bro
Lynn probably has one, or more👍 go back to your Chinese knives buddy
Awful review.
Thanks!
