MC WHAT BATTERIES DOES THE CALIPER NEED? I WILL *send them to you* FOR THE LOVE OF ALL SPAGHETTI WIZARDS AND DIRT SHAMANS YOU NEED TO REPLACE THOSE BATTERIES!
_This is the greatest push forward in modern day knife technology since the initial release of the pocket knife itself!_ _I look forward to the amazing things to come in the future!_
Pre-ordered mine on 11-22-2023 and just got it today, 08-02-2024. Beautiful knife - worth the wait - amazing action and feels great in the hand. Very pleased with my purchase.
From what Bryan has said, the company is called winterblade without the co or designs. I notice lots of people still say the whole thing. I think that’s just for the social media titles. This is the best review I’ve seen if this knife for sure. I want a b3 factor but I missed the pre order apparently.
I love me some Brian Winters/ Winters Blade Co. stuff. He is one of the most innovative and out of the box thinkers in modern design. Also, he just happens to be one of the nicest and most outgoing humans that you will ever meet! I don't think he's ever met/ talked to a stranger in his life!
Brian Winters is Simply the Greatest knife designer to ever live. We are Blessed to live during his time. To own his art would be my Ultimate Grail, in any form. "Jedi Wizard-Brian Winters"
I ordered the orange aluminum with black pvd m390 the day it launched. Waiting patiently. I appreciate a good quality build with good materials. I machine and weld for a living so I dont care about price if its a quality piece.
I’m the same field and it’s why I HAVEN’T ordered one. I deal with way too much metal shaving throughout my day and these magnets works just gunk up immediately. I do, however, carry an arius most days at work with a 9 line 20cv SmF for the heavy cutting.
@@Sleepy_spartan717 Just to note - the only magnet on the Severn is the little thumb stud magnet which can be removed without tools. Also, the thumb stud hole size is fairly standard - 1/8" - meaning it'll fit other thumb studs out there... Cheers! :D
Remember, Winterblade Co. is Brian Winters. Civivi is WE Knife Co.’s budget line.. And WE is a massive company with a ton of designers, OEM contracts, etc. The amount of knives they produce and sell allows them to turn a profit on a $78 knife.. It’s the same reason Wal-Mart can sell the same exact item for cheaper than your local mom ‘n pop store and still stay in business. The prices have been artificially reduced due to sheer volume/scale.
I am totally digging it but may go Factor first. More my size and scale. I wouldn't mind eventually snagging a Severen as well, eventually. There are so many amazing folders out there nowadays, it is hard not to want them all!!!!!!!
If it's anything like the Factor, it won't be a fun disassembly. It's not super complicated, it's just that the magnets like to find anything and everything to stick to while you're doing it.
One of the things that interests me the most about folding knives are the mechanics inside. I love you your channel and the content but I often wish you would take the knives apart. Especially with this one I'd love to see how it works. Thanks MC!
Batch 2 is available for preorder.. I reserved mine cause I know when it comes closer to their estimated completion time (mid to late summer) they will be going QUICK. If the website is correct there's only 44 left for preorder.
I just bought a factor b2 that’s in the mail now. I know these are still available for pre order and if they had magnets then I think I would be in. I just don’t see that this have enough different to the AD20.5 to make me want to drop 4 hundo on it
Winterblade makes Really nice stuff. I pre ordered the Factor B3 and Severn. The waiting time is long, I will pick up my Factor I ordered in May tomorrow from the Mail. 😅 I'm curious when my green Laserwave Magnacut Sevren will shipped to me. 🤔
Finally got my B3 last Monday and it’s been a wild ride! Love the design, the action, the feel, etc etc. Bryan is a bad ass and he is great to talk to and if you have any issues he is responsive and extremely helpful. I will say it is a strange knife to do maintenance on but he’s got videos on the website for all the knives that shows ways to disassemble/assemble and lubricate and all that. Cant recommend these products enough and I can’t wait to try out more!
This is the most expensive folder ive bought, i really had no issues with the price on the 14C28N version. I personally couldn't justify the extra $200 for m390/laser work, but i see the value for sure. Its different, its neat. 😊
I believe May 24th there will be a Factor B2 drop and B3 preorders, So mark your calendars folks. I nabbed a preorder for the Severn as soon as the second batch was live gotta have the laser bacon.
I have a CJRB Creg with the recoil lock. I don't claim it's a great knife, but it has a similar nature having both spine and side crossbar-like properties. I always think when using it how much better the recoil lock would be if it wasn't cast aluminum. The lock is slippery and jumping would make a totally different knife.
I want one, but I'm just burnt out on the pre-order thing. I'll just trade for one when they start to circulate. I get why Brian is doing it that way, I just hope he'll start to ween off of it eventually. He sure as hell is getting the sales to justify an advance order.
i love choils; the para 3, microtech stitch, and winterblade factor are three of my favorite knives. but this one... i think the way it just gets cut off by the knife handle instead of flowing into it is pretty ugly. as someone big on aesthetics, this is quite the turn-off.
Any update on when these first run pre orders may ship? I knew it would take a while but daymnn its been over 6 months since the first pre orders opened and still nothing yet they are already taking round 2 pre orders?

Now he will never do it and every time he hears about it I can imagine his resolve only strengthens. 😅 Those poor calipers.

THANK YOU!!! Been waiting for you to drop this video!! You're the best. Thank you for your awesome content.
I ordered mine Feb 10th........I am so excited to get it here in my hands!
I got the laser bacon. God bless Brian for giving very little left on the bone for scalpers with his extended pre-orders.

I would totally love to see this taken apart and put back together again!! Awesome knife by an awesome designer!

Nice. I like all the winter blade designs. Thanks MC
If other companies pickup one thing from his design it should be that thumbstud. Thats so wicked. Caters to ambi and "cutting path" preachers.
If you ask any mechanic or engineer they will tell you the more moving parts the more failure points.... that's just fact! BUT OMG IS IT AWESOME!
It really doesn't have any more moving parts than a typical axis lock. That's the genius of it.

I ordered both too. I got my factor last week, it’s fantastic. It makes me even more pumped to get my Severn….. in six months
@@jaybake so I'm not the only crazy one. 😜
Wich version did you choose?
I was going for green and Magnacut on booth.
@@ronnyweinreich9425 I got the black scale, Damascus blade factor and that green bacon cut Severn
Bestech being the OEM- there it is. Cool knife. At this price point I’m more interested in a rike lamella or a T6000
I really want one of these!
Same. Prefer drop point but this definitely needs the sheep's foot.
Finally got my B3 last Monday and it’s been a wild ride!

This pushed me over the edge. I just paid for the Stormtrooper 14C28N version. Super cool! 😊
Waiting on the one you have,Christmas gift from my wife,I can’t wait to get it in hand,love the video!

I can't wait for mine! It's been so long since I pre-ordered it that I've forgotten what color I picked 😅
I was looking at this knife right before this video
Best review ! Preordered Titanium + Lazer Bacon & Orange Magnacut Batch 1. I agree nothing like it on the market today. Worth the wait hurry up July !

Good, thorough review. I have one and love it.
I was really debating getting this or a strix by sparrow knife co.
Ended up going with the Strix but this is still an impressive knife
i love choils; the para 3, microtech stitch, and winterblade factor are three of my favorite knives. but this one... i think the way it just gets cut off by the knife handle instead of flowing into it is pretty ugly. as someone big on aesthetics, this is quite the turn-off.
Any update on when these first run pre orders may ship? I knew it would take a while but daymnn its been over 6 months since the first pre orders opened and still nothing yet they are already taking round 2 pre orders?
Even my wife recognized the cool factor with this knife. Stormtrooper on the way... Eventually. 😂😂
I did NOT know that about winter blade co. interesting
Awesome knife!!!!!
🤘😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It would be cool to see the knife disassembled.
I ordered this the first day. The natural titanium. Any insider information on the ship date?
if you're going to get one...factor or severn?
Now we just need winter blade to come out with the Pizza Reaper
I ordered the magnacut in orange. There are only 600 magnacuts and they are all gone. I got the 2nd last. 😊
factor xl though!? can’t wait.
I hope the Severn wait isn’t as long as the factor was.
I'm still waiting for mine how Ling does it usually take to get it after preorder?
All hail Winterblade!! 💜💜💜👐
Ok but hear me out what if the blade shape was the same as a Chaves Scapegoat?
I am waiting patiently for mine in stormtrooper pattern. I would wait a year patiently if need be.
My favorite knife hands down! Must have #winterbladesevren!!! 🔥🔥💯💯💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Just pre-ordered mine from the 2nd batch.. August ETA sooo this is gonna be the longest 4 months of my life. 😔
We need more factor b3 darn it!! Its been months 😪
Yes yes and more yes. Gimme the bacon blade
I'd commit federal tax fraud for a factor b3
I preordered mine when it dropped, went with the budget white g-10 and 14c28n model, and the wait is just awful lol.
I am dying waiting for one of the other options of the *budget* ones to be available to preorder
How much was that one?
