    Sorry Jimbo, that background is hideous 🤢

      A few pieces of gum stuck to the blacktop and a cigarette butt or two would spruce it up.

    Jim you should make the background a beautiful wood or something

    Funny how tastes change. Wasn’t into this design at all when it launched, but looking at it again five years later with the way my collection has evolved, a design like this (with the multitude of holes in the frame and aggressive jimping all around) is now right up my alley.

    Background sucks Jim, I'll send you a big photo of me to use.

      chemXal we don't fuckin care with the background. Let's see the BLADE. And just the blade..

    Your background is well on its way to a pothole.

    This is one of the coolest looking new knife I've seen in a long time, I need one

  • @JimSkeltonKnives
    @JimSkeltonKnives  6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    QUICK NOTE OF CORRECTION: It does use ceramic bearings. But they’re also using a washer between the titanium and bearings, I misunderstood the wording when they explained it to me. So not on washers, on bearings.

      Bad ass knife Jim

      Jim Skelton i kinda wondered... it looked awful smooth for washers.. 👍👍👍

    • @NaihanchinKempo
      @NaihanchinKempo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like how your experience as a knife maker has influenced the reviewing process on your more recent videos.

  • @danielohara3454
    @danielohara3454 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    In all seriousness as a guy that works in the woods everyday having washers is a huge plus to me. I love my knives on bearings but they get so much crap in them

  • @AsGrgy
    @AsGrgy 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for another good review! Overjimped handle, looks like made for using with gloves only

  • @TTalksVA

    that background for sure is busy, it looks like it was greenscreened in.

  • @specopsbrat5130
    @specopsbrat5130 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There's a knife on that table somewhere I presume?

  • @MetalRush666
    @MetalRush666 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Background is awesome, it might be too busy for some knives so you could swap it out for various knives that would be better suited being on the carbon fiber or that one.

  • @zanelaw8037
    @zanelaw8037 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I prefer the carbon fiber background

  • @JETBLACKPRIEST
    @JETBLACKPRIEST 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Not a huge fan of the background tbh, maybe try a dark wood grain

  • @slidetek
    @slidetek 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    IMHO WE's QC has dropped off severely in recent months. The one thing it's got going for it is being limited, and a fair price. But I've avoided many recent WE built knives from makers lately because of some really inexcusable issues. It also sounds like I'm not alone. This is an interesting design, I'm sure they'll have no problem selling out the line.

    • @budinatordmanb3808
      @budinatordmanb3808 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Background should be an exotic, high gloss wood.

  • @ozean1749
    @ozean1749 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey jim not a fan of the background. Id recommend something like wood looking. Always classy not too busy and i can’t think of anyone else that uses it.

  • @HASHHASSIN
    @HASHHASSIN 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Carbon fiber background better. Print Skelton on it like DRESTA

  • @edwardbevan560
    @edwardbevan560 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the carbon fibre personally.... why not get a custom mat with just your logo in the centre ? I think that would be badass

  • @ILLUDIUM_Q_36
    @ILLUDIUM_Q_36 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Damn! If it was at least 3 3/4" I would have been all over it. I like it reminds me of Turpin's work.

    I think a background of your face with double thumbs up would be about right, at least for me.
