Thanks for watching and take care!
For me it looks like a classed up spydiechef. Am I the only one who sees this that way?
No, I definitely see it that way too. Really similar. Thanks for mentioning it!
100% agree
Tarquinius Superbus that was my first thought too. It is a beautiful piece and I love Sinkevich designs but it is a lot of money. I could probably pick up a nice preowned Shirogorov for 410 if looked long enough. Maybe not a Sinkevich Shiro but there's definitely a lot of nice knives at that price point to compete with. It is an awesome inife though for the Spyderco fans which i am. Id love one and a slyz bowie as well as a K2
Actually looks like a spyderco version of the 0456!
Nope, you're not the only one I was thinking the same.
Nice looking. Thanks for sharing it.
My pleasure!
FANCY MAN!!! Congrats on getting to play with it!
That's what I say to my wife....
@@JTsKnifeLife Well played...
Man-that is a beauty! Enjoy it in Good health!
Thank you, likewise!
BEAUTIFUL Knife JT !!
GREAT REVIEW !
Thanks buddy!
@@JTsKnifeLife You got it, pal !
I like your videos you do a good job 👍🏻
Thank you, I really appreciate that kind feedback. 👍
Cool knife...Good stuff...
Thanks very much!
I really like this knife. People have been really critical because of the price, but in person this is a REALLY nice knife. Worth the price.
Yeah, it's pretty darn nice, that's for sure.
Spyderco is doing some 420 if they think I’m gonna pay 410 for this.
That really is a GORGEOUS knife! I wish I could afford one, lol!
I wish I could keep it!
I have this as a collection piece & I will say this is an impeccable design, fit and finish is off the chart. Great stuff JT --------------
Thank you, glad you appreciate this one!
Wasn't planning to pick one up initially but now I've got one ordered on the way.
Wanted to own a Sinkevich design, and the ZTs didn't quite do it for me. This knife, the blade size, and overall machining, had the best match. I may have bought it, but I don't agree with their pricing either. This is over priced.. but beautiful from every other aspect.
What would they have to do to make this knife worth $410?
Completely agree. $200 too expensive. ZT did the 0456cf for less. It’s that pattern though. Those wavy lines probably eat up a ton of machining time.
Exactly. I don't think it's overpriced, it just adds embellishments that most people don't think are necessary and won't want to pay for.
I wonder what the price would be if it were US made! What the Spydie Chef lacks in aesthetics this makes up for, beautiful folder, nice work Spyderco!
Honestly, if they made this in the USA it would probably be cheaper, because I don't think they could do this level of machining in their Colorado factory.
Dying to own one of these..I do have the ZT 0456 CF which is the closest Sinkevich that I can think of. Nick showed the EXTENSIVE interior milling on the lock side in his tear-down video. Impressive. How is the pocket clip going in and out of the pocket? Does it create a hot spot, ergonomically? If you take the knife apart & put some KPL on the washers to get the action smooth..& then maybe you can also adjust the détent. JT...you had some GREAT insights into the niche for this blade! Looks like a user to me!😛
Thanks a lot for watching, and yeah, I'm glad nick did a video to give a closer look than I could. No hotspot that I felt with the clip, but it is hard to get into the pocket. The geography of the frame creates a tight squeeze getting the clip all the way into the pocket.
JT's Knife Life Spyderco continues to have clip issues! That is disappointing on a $400+ knife, at this point in knife evolution.
Will you be doing a full review after you have had the knife for a while?
_"In the interest of not sucking..."_ That there is a T-shirt waiting to happen, dude, haha.
That's a very appealing knife. I'm not normally a major Spyderco fanboy, but they really took this one to a new level. While I can more-or-less understand the price point here, it's up there and it remains to be seen if it holds up with long term use and carry. We shall see.
I'm really curious to see what kind if people actually buy this. Will they plan to use it? And yeah, how will it hold up?
Oh how AWESOME.. Just wish it had a lanyard hole. And $400 plus is about $300 too much for me.
I didn't mention it but there is a lanyard hole in the backspacer.
People who are complaining about the price, Really don't understand the intended demographic this knife is for! Just like watches, cars , art, etc...certain blades are made for the upper echelon of buyers.
The cost of the designer/tooling , premium materials, and top notch manufacturing (very detailed milling involved ) all contribute to the cost of this piece. A custom Sinkevich would be thousands!
Thanks for review on a masterpiece!
wrjames38 - those people who are complaining, also would have no problem dropping 400-500 on a plain Jane sebenza, 20+ year old design with no particularly detailed machining at all, and no CF!!!
@@DanMar5858
Couldn't have said it any better sir!
@@DanMar5858 not so. I've been saying the Sebenza is an over priced brick for years. Just callin' em like I see em.
Love that carbon fiber 👍👍
It's nicely done, no question.
Looks like a Spydiechef.
Yes it does.
It's beautiful but the price point it's at is Chris reeve territory where you get both looks and performance with a warranty that encourages disassembly and user maintenance. I have a Chris Reeve inkosi insingo with the micarta inlays at the moment but my draw to spyderco is the blade steels offered in the pm2 sprints as I use my knives ... the Asian made spyderco are very well made but it's not quite Chris reeve fit and finish still , if I was spending 400+ on spyderco I'd sooner take 2x sprint knives like the dlt trading m390 etc . Even for the collector the sprints appreciate in value more on the secondary market as soon as the run is out of stock in dealers , the m390 from dlt or the bento box blue are going for 290-335 on Ebay nearly double their rrp
Nice review! Thx
Thank you for watching it!
I like it. It looks like a mix between the ZT456 and the Spydiechef.
Yes, it really does.
Price excludes me. I like your magnified side views, please continue doing that. Seeing the release through the Spydie hole ruins the aesthetics for me. Good presentation, thank you, Furbs.
My pleasure, thanks for watching. I'll try to keep including other types of views and shots!
Nice package, I like the thin profile. But a nonrecessed one-screw clip? Really?
A bit of a surprise there, not sure what the explanation is.
Definitely gets my hands on that gem , beautiful but twin brother of Spydiechef who born after sometime with half carbon fiber & half titanium handle . Lol
Hahahaha, yes!
Sweet knife, way outta my price range. Doesn't look lefty friendly. Or it would be on the Grail list. Thanks for sharing 🐱
@FlamQ Dbltap they think about collectors first sometimes, that's why all the sprint runs for the para3 and no left hand version yet. At least we got the pm2 LH. Thanks 🐱
Unfortunately there just isn't money in catering to lefties. On some really popular models, sure, but for the most part I think they over produce those lefty versions and end up with tons that nobody wants.
I'm a lefty, but I've always carried on the right side because I want to keep it consistent.
@@JTsKnifeLife your right we're only 10to12 Percent of the population, but they don't market it as much. I only found out about the pm2 LH while looking through blade HQ even most of the video on it are separated from the regular version, been looking for the show they announced them haven't found one 🐱
How drunk do you have to be to justify this knife? I'm thinkin 19 beers deep.
I was six beers, two tequila shots, and one iced latte in when I made this video. Not to mention the 4 or 5 nicotine patches I was wearing.
@@JTsKnifeLife typical Thursday night for you?
I might be a little drunk myself but when I read drunken review I actually thought you were drunk reviewing things lol
peter muchko not a bad idea for a channel. When i finally start mine thats what ima do. Cars, guns, knives all my hobbies really.
Hahahaha me drunk doing a review would be comedic, but nonsensical. Maybe if I ever give Gerber another chance...
It's an awesome piece and I love Sinkevech designs! I enjoyed watching the review because that is probably the closest I'll ever come to handling one. the machining is definitely exquisite! Awesome vid!
Thanks for watching, I hope you come across one some time just to be able to handle it. 👍
Looks to be a very nice $260 knife. (if you remove the spyder logo)
I understand the price is high for what is a cutting tool, but I honestly know of zero knives that are machined this intricately and well at a price point any lower. If there isn't a lot of value in that for you, then the value of the knife won't be there at all.
$410!?! I'm never going to be buying this bad boy. Even though I want it so bad 😄
You take a look at a delica or endrura and the what is called machining on this knife isn't anything near the machining on either of them.. just because it's carbon fiber and titanium and not frn doesn't really make squiggly lines and weight reduction significant in my eyes but TH-cam reviewers seem to be raving about it like it's something great..
So FRN is made from a mold, so it's really easy to do. I've seen people 3D print plastics way more complicated than Delicas or Enduras in no time. Titanium is a different beast, the hardness of it destroys bits and makes intricacies like this difficult to achieve consistently. Personally, as a knife guy, I am impressed with this. I don't speak for any other knife guys, or any other people who review knives.
True Spyderco fans who want to possess the very best example of Spyderco craftsmanship - will buy that knife. Great description & camera work!!
Thank you, and I agree. 👍
I love sinkevich designs and want this so bad. I'll just have to stick to my ZT sinkevichs that are half the price for basically the same materials and made in the US. Spyderco priced this one out of the park. It's size and price would basically make it a safe queen and thus kind of a waste of money. Beautiful knife though.
All depends on perspective, but I definitely understand yours.
Really nice/beautiful looking Spyderco Drunken knife design looks😍👍💚💙💛💜 reviews!!!
And that knife Drunken looks really great in full carbon fiber in blue color😄👌!!!
Sure is pretty!
Wow
Damn nice looking knife Out of my budget range, but really beautiful.
I hear you there.
It's a nice knife. I agree with you, it's not 410.00 nice.
I didn't really say it wasn't hahaha. It's up to how you value things. If you really want details like this, that's what you'll have to shell out. Nice as this stuff is though, it isn't what I value the most in knives, which is why I would hesitate to spend so much on knives like this.
Definitely buy one for my collection. Damn I am already searching it .
I would rather say, it looks like the ZT 0770....
It does a little bit, doesn't it?
Just compared it to Bareknuckle which is 60$ for 410 I can get a firearm. Maybe 200$ do it in s30v and g10 on show side.. that titanium does look amazing but at this price it’s a safe queen
Pretty much how I see it too. Take away the machining, give us s30v or s35vn, sell it at 180 and we all will want one.
Looks kinda like a ZT 0460 to me in the handle
Yeah, like a fatter version, but the same sort of curve. I can see that.
If you choose to move this knife, IF! You should do a raffle and make a few bucks. I know, I know. Flipping knives is not the most respected thing to do but I'm selfish and it would mean more content for me. Well hopefully
Hahahaha I might do a raffle of needs be, but really hoping to just sell. Make a few bucks, sure, that would be great, but as long as I get my money back we'll be good. And don't worry, I have a ton more content coming!
Great looking knife but $410 is out of my range.
$410.00???!!!!
That's not worth it!!!
What would be worth $410 then?
It's very nice no doubt, but I'm not seeing anywhere near $410 there. Seems like a misstep for Spyderco; at that price point there are far fewer buyers than somewhere in the $200-300 range.
I'll talk about this more in the future, but I really don't think spyderco is too concerned with that on this model. I think they know it will have a limited reach, and they aren't too worried about that.
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww she's a beaut!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddd. Lol.
Like it, but ain't gonna pay the price.
Understood.
Meh... I’ll buy a sprint run Shaman and Manix2 and have money left over for beer.
That's a good way of looking at it.
I think it is beautiful but I can buy a good handgun for the same price.
2 years? I give it a year. And that’s being generous. This knife is going up against the three giants, Not to mention all the high-end stuff China is putting out. Also it has the carbon fiber show side scale, That alone makes it 25 to 30% weaker than a full ti frame lock in my opinion. Not to mention the actual build and design that goes into making it strong for example the hinderer with it’s oversized stop pins, or the sebenzas Bushing pivot that I’m sure this one doesn’t have which occurred because they put it in the manix, pm2 and shaman. It’s nice looking if you squint and blur your vision a bit but that’s about it.I personally would spend $400 on a sebenza or maybe a reate. Just my completely biased opinion, again not the biggest spyderco fan here lol
I would probably agree on all points. The thing I think though, is that Spyderco is perfectly content with it being discontinued. They know it'll find a small market, some of their big fans will love it. They'll sell as many as they can, show how nice a knife they can make, and then it'll go away. And that's probably the plan.
Simply ridiculously priced. $409 ridiculous.
Well, the price tag is based on the quality of machining most likely. Where can you get this level of machining for cheaper? And what do you think they could they have done to make this actually worth 410 bucks?
@@JTsKnifeLife It's a pocket knife meant to do one thing, to cut shit. Make it comfortable in hand, put a quality blade with the nice grind, a compression lock, and a deep pocket wire clip. Make it accessible for around $100-$125.
@@TheFlyrodder68 And that's where our opinions differ. What you just described would make it like 1,000 other knives. Sure, it would be more accessible to people, myself included, but I like that Spyderco does something different and challenges themselves. Do I hope they make a more budget version so that I can have one to keep? Sure. But that doesn't mean that they did it wrong by choosing the production they did.
Still seems wayyy over priced..
What would it need in order to be worth $410?
A really good looking piece, but the price makes it unattractive to me. Great honest review as usual.
Thank you Scott!
Unboxings . . . yawn.
Sometimes they're fun. Most of them suck, especially mine.
Any word on the Paysan?
Nothing definite. Since it was announced last year, I don't expect it to be in any of spyderco's quarterly reveals. Much like the Drunken, I think it'll just show up one day.
