I picked up a Reiff F6 in Magnacut and I love it. Perfectly balanced. No finger choil. I have the black Micarta scales that just melts in my hand. It is a decent chopper and holds its edge like a boss. Highly recommend,
reiff is a very interesting brand, american, of two young and competent guys they work well and could take the market share that was of Survive. no problems in the quality or delivery times of orders. everything regular and precise at the moment. some friends have bought them and they are happy with them. unfortunately I strongly hate hybrid bevels and concave bevels. I'm not saying to make them convex, it would be too nice, but if they were at least flat I would buy them too.
It's a no for me. Why, you ask? Finger choil within the blade. All finger choils should be behind the blade, like a Bradford Guardian 3.5 or Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Sharpening choils are a big no for me, too.
I love how we have different opinions. I prefer knifes this big with finger choil. When they get behind the blade, they often get too narrow. Don't like it at all.
@@salzherz3764 I don't like the presence of the finger choil, I don't like the colors and above all I don't like the backward balance. It should have been neutrally balanced, also to better use the finger choil. Having said that, it is a rare knife nowadays, given the situation of the Survive, I bought it to test the steel, because I have been wanting to test a fixed blade in magnacut for a while, so I am not interested in selling it
@richardhenry1969 I have 2 of their knives. I am speaking from experience. Also find one video anywhere saying they aren't some of the best knives out there. You can't find one! So when you say something like that it shows you are just repeating nonsense. If you had ever held one and used one you would know that they are one of if not the best knives out there. And at the price they go for they blow away anything in that price range. Unfortunately you can't get one anymore but if you are gonna say something like you did at least have a clue as to what youbare talking about.
@@retirementOwl first impressions, does the truth hurt? I have had several Survive around 4 inches and they were all perfect in terms of design and project. This One has several functional (objective) and aesthetic errors (aesthetics are subjective). Tell me instead why you like it

@@daginn896I also prefer the choil in the blade. We all use these tools differently
Hello, I would buy the knife from you, if you don't like it

Really don't understand why so many people made a big deal about these knives.
You've clearly never held one.
@@bigsalty3661 whatever you need to tell yourself.
@richardhenry1969 so you've never held one. Exactly my point.
@@bigsalty3661 no not really. But whatever you need to tell yourself to justify something you probably don't even use.

All I heard is I don't like, I don't like, I don't like. Unbearable to watch.
