My initial rating for this knife. Design, A-. Value, A. Action, A. Materials, A. Ergos, B. Overall, A-. It is a must have for steel and knife nerds. It will not disappoint. It is an object and mechanical beauty. I would rather have this than a Sebenza, so that says a lot.
There are some knives where the picture doesn't do it justice. This is one for me. Saw it on their site and wasnt interested. But seeing it here, I really need to check it out. Looking for the pulsar too.
I got mine last week. Only one word describes this knife - Outstanding. The flickin hole works well in forward and reverse flicking. In fact all methods of deployment are easy and smooth. I have to say thank you Kole you made me aware of these amazing knives. This in now my second Kunwu but certainly not the last.
I just got my S-Tao a few days ago. I love it! The flipper tab is stellar. The front flipper is good but not as easy. The action is one of the best I have. As a mechanical object, it is gorgeous. I would have paid double for a US made one. The Flikin hole is hard to reverse flick for me but I am addicted to the flipper tabs. Love the blade length to handle ratio. I wish the handle was a bit bigger for my Xl hands. Not too sharp but I got it razor sharp myself. I was worried about sharpening it till I got use to fidgeting it and I was right, I cut myself sharpening it! I haven’t done that for years, I blame it on the gin. I was bleeding like a menstruating pig.
Very impressive knife. It’s now on my watch list. I was planning on buying a new knife this month, and this might have knocked the previous knife out of the running. The cutting test looked impressive. Do you notice anything when using a Vanax blade? I’ve never handled one. You remind me of the science teacher in Stranger Things. You make geeking out cool.
Hey brother that is cool looking . I gotta tell ya I bought a throw away knife I thought it would be it's a Ganzo Adimante it by thumb stud or like Emerson wave feature it opens rom the pull out of pocket I was very surprised how decent it is . Peace 👍🏻
My wish for this knife is a wharny or reverse tanto, to have something more “pokey”. Still beautiful but I would buy 5 if the blade shape matched my desire. Have a Pulsar on the way - my first Kunwu, and can’t wait. Shipping begins in a week and then who knows how long to get stateside.
Hi boss,nice video.But I have some questions. How can you be sure it's real“ vanax”？Have you ever used it?Have you ever sharped it?How about its heattreat? As I know,Chinese companies have some bad heattreating.I have seen the test about WE's 20cv,TwoSun's M398 and S90V.They were very disappointing!So it is doubtful that Chinese companies can do good heat treatment on vanax。 I wish I could get a knife that actually works, not a toy.
Wow, quite a high rating！Could you please tell us about your perception of its sharpness and cuts?I still wish to see things like retention testing and spectral detection@@TristateEDC 😄
How long does a Kunwu knife take to get to you ? Its been WAY too long, almost 2 months for me. Non-existent customer service. Yet I still see Kunwu videos? So confusingg
I've grown very bored at all these new sheepsfoot style blades box opener's are boring as for myself I'd never buy one but that's just my own opinion and opinions are like as"holes everybody's got one!!! Have to close out saying that I'm unimpressed with this one 🧐

Very nice, the frame lock is the only holding me back since it’s not totally lefty friendly!
Thanks for Looks, might just grab one, Thanks TriState
I got mine in yesterday, too, and love it. The drop shut action is ridiculous!!

Ordered one a week or so ago with that sale now I wait
An absolute dream knife!
Waiting for mine to deliver next week. Awesome knife!
Looks awesome! Can't wait for mine to get here. Congrats on 10k on IG!
I passed on this one for some reason. Maybe I will sell the others and give this one a try.

I just ordered mine, it claimed a 2 month wait. How quickly did you get yours?
Yeah I'm in love with all Kunwu designs!
Good video kole, looks nice kunwu has been killing it!
So whatcha doing with all that shredded newspaper? I’m doing a bird experiment.
Waiting for the CF X-Tao to restock.
Really nice knife
I love everything about the S -Tao but the pocket clip.. has side to side wiggle
Nice. Have a brand new Midgards Berserker if your interested. Looking for Double Homicide.
I know katate, kunwu and 20 other dangerous words. That thang is cool.
She's a beaut Kole!
Just watched your review of the WE Mini Malice. It’s about the same price as this knife. If you could only choose one - which would you keep?
Who pimped out your Kunwu Tao? Looks amazing where can I send mine in haha
Rockytop Customs 🤙
CONGRATS on the 10K on the gram.....Great looking knife! I don’t mind the wire clips.
Kunwow!
Wait what's up with the qc drift.
Like Jack Buck would say "go crazy folks" ! This is nice !!! 🤗
I really like the look I just hate you have to wait weeks for shipping from china. I’m a very impatient knife buyer 😂
I've yet to check out a kunwu but they seem well done. Great video 👍

Mmmmmm! I have the X-Tao Carbon. That S-Tao is sexy!
Oh....I'm getting all tingly!😅😉👍

Seriously considering buying the S Tao, but I also like the looks of the Vero Axon. Any recommendations on which I should go with?
i have both, love both. The Kunwu is better and a better value. 👌
Sweet !
Any updates on the Anax?

We always runs their steel soft. Twosun... is twosun. Kunwu has actually done the blade steel and heat treat side of things right from day one.

It’s big and hard
He is using voice modularity right?
yes 😉
kUwU
I can’t bring myself to get a knife that can’t stab 🤷
You could consider s-tao a "trainer" for stabbing. A lot of people get themselves trainers. Benchmade sells em, they're a legitimate product.
Too many knives not enough money.

This took a couple weeks. But they're on a 2 month back order currently.
They make them in batches. They're just waiting on another batch.
Over priced for me I'll keep my penguin 🐧
Action more important than use? I mean at least you cut paper which is more than any other yt influencers ... But overall you're all usless.
I work in an office, I'm not on Season 37 of Survivor. But i still use all of my knives for normal day to day edc tasks. 🥂
