Hey Nick - thanks for taking a look at the Folding Razel™ knife. Really appreciate all the feedback and suggestions. Once again for taking the time and looking at the knife!
Nick is 100% correct, if this knife came back with improvements and cost around a justified $60-$70 instead of the $20-$30, it would be hard to beat. I know I'd jump on it without hesitation.
CRKT OFFICIAL he dumped on it for a solid 18 minutes and 23 seconds and you're thanking him? You're coming across as really desperate and sycophantic. Personally I'm buying one but your social media team should be shot.
When I purchased my first CRKT razel I knew very little about knives and had no idea who Graham was. There was no instructions in the box for the tail clip and I had no idea what the tail clip was and it didn't come attached to the knife so I left it in the box and used the tip down clip. I would venture a guess that most of them got used this way because CRKT failed to include any information regarding its use. Mine have both been good knives with decent centering, no problems in disassembly, and do not require any wrist flick to get them deployed. I do think I am going to try and replace the washers with bronze ones though just because I prefer them. That said, I knew from first look that I wanted this knife design to carry daily at work and I love it enough I bought a second one. Mine are both OK in build, and I am completely happy with them at the $25 I paid for each of them. I couldn't bring myself to pay for one of his mid tech knives and quite frankly would be uncomfortable abusing it at the price they command. But if CRKT or someone would make this knife as a flipper, in at least CTS-BD1 steel(or better), with thinner scales,(although with XXL+ sized hands I really don't mind the size or weight), and keep the price at $100 or less, I would stand in line to buy two of them. Best work knife I've ever had. of course, before buying this knife and discovering the knife "world", my previous knives were more like the snap on knife, so comparisons could be hard to quantify.
A Graham/ZT collaboration has a very high likelihood of being the best thing since sliced bread. Hoping like hell it happens one day, so I can buy it and rest contented knowing all is well in world afterall. Great review Nick! You pretty much perfectly summed up my thoughts on this knife. It is most definitely best used as a work/toolbox/beater knife which is exactly what I use it for. Its a great box cutter and carpet knife too, I've even used it to chop limes (after cleaning it of course) and it works great for that too. Also it's stupid easy to get hair splitting sharp, edge doesn't last forever, but it's not hard to get it right back there again. Keep up the good work!
Hey Nick I've had a problem recently and I'd like to know what you'd recommend. Here's the short version, if you want details I'll email you. -Own a Dragonfly 2, Endura 4, and Manix 2 -Endura 4 had vertical play and loose clip, Manix 2 had horizontal play, both unfixable through cleaning and disassembly -Sent both to Spyderco Despite acknowledgement of issues, only Endura clip was fixed, both came back with botched sharpening jobs that were not asked for -Sent back again -After negotiation Spyderco agreed to send two new knives -Endura is perfect (near mirror polished edge even) -Manix 2 came with the same amount of blade play, a way rougher action out of box than my previous Manix, and small chips toward the tip What should I do? I've already emailed but do you think they'll replace it again or deem me a waste of time and money? Anyone else with experience please chip in.
Nick, as usual you hit it right on the head with your final conclusion. We need more Razel availability. I consider myself monumentally lucky to own a custom Razel and I owe that to you, my friend.
I've had this knife on the "to review" shelf for months, thanks for saving me the the trouble. my opinion is that it's a shop/workbench knife not anything to carry around.
I just got my CRKT Razel Today I paid about 34 dollars when converted. And for the price.. I love it. And for a pretty thick knife it fits my small hands great ^_^ And love that it has a small curve so that you can cut stuff with it on a surface with somewhat ease
So, there is a sorta easy fix to two of your issues, The centering and action. It mayyy be illegal but i just know of this trick from a friend. First things first you have to makes a parts request to CRKT for the washers from a M16-14SFG. After you receive these parts you have to disassemble the knife, and remove the washers. Replace the teflon washer between the lawks and the blade with a black washer from the ones you ordered, and place a back washer between the Teflon one and the blade on the other side. Put it back together and BAM, better washers and a more centered blade.
Great review. Same happened to me, I picked one up for the sake of having a Razel... sent it back because the blade centering was the same as yours. The action on mine was poor and made worse by tightening the pivot in order to keep the blade from completely scraping the side. Sent it back and the online store checked the remaining stock to find the blade centering was awful on all of them.
Hey Nick, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, you make some excellent points! My humble 2 cents: regarding the secondary lock (09:48), it's safer to accidentally engage (especially when working the chisel tip) than to accidentally disengage! Thanks once again n keep up the good work! Cheers!
Could you review the kizer vanguard v3 vigor? I wanna pick one up but they're aren't a lot of reviews on it and I would like to know your opinion of it before I jump the gun
I carry one of these and I have to force myself to as it’s not a normal knife. It’s also a little heavy for an EDC. But, it’s really grown on me as an EDC and as a utility knife in the yard. I’d give it a 7/10.
Bought one after watching BirdShot IV's video on it, and yeah... when I got it my first thought was "yup, that's why I stopped buying cheap knives." The fit and finish issues you mentioned kept this knife from being an item I yearn to hold. I have no lust for it. I also wish the blade was a bit longer, there's some unused space in the handle when the knife is closed.
I feel like the suffix on the word "asymmetrical" is redundant. Asymmetric is already an adjective. I googled it, and really couldn't find a decent answer. Sorry for the tangent, but I never thought about it before.
I seen it listed on crkt's site in the discontinued list at the beginning of the year, February or something (months ago anyway) when I was trying to find the ringed razel.
I have been drooling over John Graham blades for a while now. It's so sad that this knife seems so poorly made. As you said I would be using it as a tool, but I want a well made tool that I can count on. I may pick one up and change to thinner scales and better washers, as that will be the only way I can afford a Graham razel blade. Adding new scales would fix the issue with the pocket clip hole and maybe thin it down a bit. Wouldn't fiction the off center blade though. Thanks for the review. It has helped me make a decision.
Random (Australian) jackass here. I bought mine despite the review. And yes, came with the badly off-centred blade. (Maybe I got the one Nick returned). I dis-assembled it and did the usual stuff to centre the blade. Action is a bit stiffer but it had the corollary of making the safety lock action much firmer, so that now it requires an intentional push to engage. The biggest issue was the free spinning standoffs and the thread 'permanent' locker used. I had to use a heat gun to extract the scale screws. No stripping thankfully. I blue lock tighted the pivot so it is fractionally off-centre but the action is acceptably smooth. This is a really useful blade that I love. My only minor gripe is the weight- the other concerns do not bother me at all. And even the weight is ok as I don't edc it. I have some higher end knives and the fit and finish of theCRCT isn't that bad. Ergos are outstanding if you have biggish hands as I do (the micarta is a joy to hold and grip hard) If you're on the fence and can tune a knife (and are prepared to) just get one if you can. Oh and the blade steel works well for me- I have stropped it a few times and it comes back to hair shaving sharp. (I imagine it will be easy to sharpen when it is time for that...) It's the only 8cr I own and I don't mind it at all. I'd much prefer this shape blade to the cleaver styles. A razel seems like a good use of all that blade height compared to a cleaver.
I adjusted my brand new CRKT Graham Folding Razel to center the blade, the clip threads in the micarta appear to have stripped during screw removal. Is there any way for me to fix the screw hole threads?
Knowing John personally, it’s awesome to see his views coming into full production knives, I live in Cleveland and go to school with his daughter , so it’s awesome seeing this
Loving the Razel blade shape, I bought one to use as my go-to box cutter. It arrived with the blade out of center like most, and I dislike how the scale is flush with the liner lock. Overall though, a sturdy tool with style for a cheap price.
I recently bought a fantastic CRKT dagger in the UK. Got it in a 50% off sale so it was an absolute steal! It even came with a Tek Lok. This said, there was a part of the handle that just looked like the dude fell asleep and ground a tiny patch flat on the handle scale for no logical reason, and the sheath doesnt quite fit the knife well enough to hold it safely in place to guarantee retention in the horizontal position. I totally love the message in your video and respect it. CRKT make great knives ... but they arrive a bit fucked.
I got one and sent it back. It wouldn’t lock so it actually dangerous, and the lock lever on the top seemed to be bent and almost broken, to boot. I like CRKT in general, but this was a huge disappointment.
/sigh the dream was affordable production razels that are not made as cheaply as passable. crkt makes me sad with there complete lack of quality. and let me edit in another note, Can I have an overbuilt coldsteel in razel please? that is a dream tool. (designed by demko with no stupidity please) Maybe I'm insane but thats a dream of mine.
the CRKT SPEW or small pocket every day wharcliff is a decent little fix blade but yeah I hear yeah low end all the way I don't think there an is high end edc like ZT
It is really such a shame. CRKT does make some amazing designs and collaborations, but they're always let down by crappy materials. Just think about this with simple G10 and S30VN and perhaps three times the price? It would be a steal, or steel, making Nick jokes.
I bought one of these because I really want a Razel knife. It arrived yesterday. It went back for a return today. What a massive pile of steaming hot garbage. Neither the lock, nor the LAWKS thing worked. The blade play was laughably bad. I got a $4.00 knife from Amazon that is infinitely more solid. Maybe I got the lemon of all lemons? The Mother of Lemons? The Lemonex Maximum? The lemoniest of lemons?
Would love to be a "fly on the wall" during CRKT business case meeting for a new knife. Every meeting ends with a bean counter saying: But, if we keep it under $35 we can move 30,000 of them!!! 🤑
oh man asymmetrical knife and Teflon washers. Nope cant do it. must stay away. I really wanted to try one but those 2 are deal breakers for me. great review as always. but after watching the entire review, I think I may have changed my mind lolz
I’m just not a fan of the razel blade shape. I’d much rather just use a razor blade scraper for a job like that and leave my knife for cutting tasks only.
Nick Shabazz Not trying to sound like a jackass or anything! But I know I can't be the only one who'd love to get hold of a reasonably priced razel, and this thing is hard to find.
I have a Rhino GT and I'm always wary about abusing it as it's my favourite knife. Maybe I'll pick up one of these. ed. Nevermind commented before you got to the ugly. Gonna have to hard pass.
I stopped watching after i heard "Teflon washers".... NOPE. cmon CRKT why are you cheaping out on a good designer? Its like Boker, great designs, mediocre finish.
There we go with the Frankie and Bird again...just 15 fkn seconds in lol For gods sake..how about this, we will assume you thank them and love them, unless said otherwise..how about that? lol

CRKT OFFICIAL please make a Razel Mini! Thanks! I ᏝᏍе your knives!
Holy crap nick you are big time when the company comments.
Nick is 100% correct, if this knife came back with improvements and cost around a justified $60-$70 instead of the $20-$30, it would be hard to beat. I know I'd jump on it without hesitation.
Make sure it's closed if you're going to jump on it ;-D

a graham zt collaboration would be a god damn dream.
David Sherlock bruh what 😂
Or a WE collaboration.
David Sh331
People aren’t allowed to cuss?
3 years later checking in to see if this ever happened
I wish anyone else, ANYONE other than crkt would have done this. It could have been amazing. Still you get a thumbs up.
I was doing a hauling job and found one of these in a pile of junk. I dremeled away the rust, knocked the crud off, and gave it a good home.
One of the best purchases of a$35 knife you can make. I love mine
Hey Nick I've had a problem recently and I'd like to know what you'd recommend. Here's the short version, if you want details I'll email you.
-Own a Dragonfly 2, Endura 4, and Manix 2
-Endura 4 had vertical play and loose clip, Manix 2 had horizontal play, both unfixable through cleaning and disassembly
-Sent both to Spyderco
Despite acknowledgement of issues, only Endura clip was fixed, both came back with botched sharpening jobs that were not asked for
-Sent back again
-After negotiation Spyderco agreed to send two new knives
-Endura is perfect (near mirror polished edge even)
-Manix 2 came with the same amount of blade play, a way rougher action out of box than my previous Manix, and small chips toward the tip
What should I do? I've already emailed but do you think they'll replace it again or deem me a waste of time and money? Anyone else with experience please chip in.
You could install the tip down clip as a filler tab after you cut it to size with a Dremel .
I do believe they're out of production but a lot of retailers still have stock. I could be wrong tho, something I heard through the grapevine.
Your delivery is superb, and your analysis is excellent.
Nick, as usual you hit it right on the head with your final conclusion. We need more Razel availability. I consider myself monumentally lucky to own a custom Razel and I owe that to you, my friend.
Today's Grail Tomorrow's Beater
I'd love to get a quality Razel. But anything over $70.00 USD is above my price range.
I've had this knife on the "to review" shelf for months, thanks for saving me the the trouble. my opinion is that it's a shop/workbench knife not anything to carry around.
at $20 this is a really good hard use utility blade. the chisel tip comes in very handy . I keep one in the car and one in my kitchen junk drawer.
The CRKT seems to have a bit of blade curve. Are most razels straight edge?
I just got my CRKT Razel Today I paid about 34 dollars when converted. And for the price.. I love it.
And for a pretty thick knife it fits my small hands great ^_^
And love that it has a small curve so that you can cut stuff with it on a surface with somewhat ease
So, there is a sorta easy fix to two of your issues, The centering and action. It mayyy be illegal but i just know of this trick from a friend.

Put it back together and BAM, better washers and a more centered blade.
You have become my favorite knife review to watch. Really, you bring so much to the knife world.
I agree that ZT or Spyderco could make a great Razel. I can see the handle mod to fit the spydie hole...
Great review. Same happened to me, I picked one up for the sake of having a Razel... sent it back because the blade centering was the same as yours. The action on mine was poor and made worse by tightening the pivot in order to keep the blade from completely scraping the side. Sent it back and the online store checked the remaining stock to find the blade centering was awful on all of them.
Can't seem to find them anywhere, wish I would have known about them sooner.
Starfire Technology check out bade hq right now
3/16th pivot? Could easily upgrade the teflon to phos-bronze if so.
Hey Nick, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, you make some excellent points! My humble 2 cents: regarding the secondary lock (09:48), it's safer to accidentally engage (especially when working the chisel tip) than to accidentally disengage! Thanks once again n keep up the good work! Cheers!

I like that they made this with tip down carry. Will be looking to add one of these to my collection
I feel like the suffix on the word "asymmetrical" is redundant. Asymmetric is already an adjective. I googled it, and really couldn't find a decent answer. Sorry for the tangent, but I never thought about it before.
Why would you want the clip so the knife sits on its edge in your pocket? That seems horribly uncomfortable
Your Personality makes a very interesting and entertaining review. Thank you.
I seen it listed on crkt's site in the discontinued list at the beginning of the year, February or something (months ago anyway) when I was trying to find the ringed razel.
I got one recently and the centering was pretty much dead on.
Another great review. "I'm pretty good at complaining about action". Classic line.
Nick, can you do a review of the LaGuiolle french folders?
it's my most carryed out of the curent collection, love the design and crkt
I have been drooling over John Graham blades for a while now. It's so sad that this knife seems so poorly made. As you said I would be using it as a tool, but I want a well made tool that I can count on.

Thanks for the review. It has helped me make a decision.
Top clip after removal put the 2 hex screws back looks proper again.
We definitely do need a ZT/Graham collaboration!
Can we expect a full review of the steelwill cutjack soon?
I would like to get my hands on this knife but sadly i cant find it anywhere and most videos about it are about 4 to 5 yrs old
FrankStarling Ebay. It's been out of production for years now.

I adjusted my brand new CRKT Graham Folding Razel to center the blade, the clip threads in the micarta appear to have stripped during screw removal. Is there any way for me to fix the screw hole threads?
The "two yutes" hahaha...You sound like "My Cousin Vinny" :-)
Knowing John personally, it’s awesome to see his views coming into full production knives, I live in Cleveland and go to school with his daughter , so it’s awesome seeing this
Someone explain why I can't find this knife anywhere please?
JD Scott it's been discontinued for a couple years.
I got one of these and mine is really good. Rock solid, centered and it is just a great knife
Bought one for 20 bucks. Seems to be worth every penny. Looks bigger in person than on video.
How do you put on the graham pocket clip
There are clip holes on the end of the knife opposite the pivot. One side only. The clip comes with two screws.
If that clip works on a day to day basis then it's a work of genius.
Great content Nick, happy to keep viewing your jackassary 🤓
Heck, Kizer could do a great job with his designs, even Kershaw. The CRKT FR's do seem to be gone now.
Or the Ontario rat folks, or Sanrenmu (who makes knives for many of the big hitters already).
Loving the Razel blade shape, I bought one to use as my go-to box cutter. It arrived with the blade out of center like most, and I dislike how the scale is flush with the liner lock. Overall though, a sturdy tool with style for a cheap price.
Was interested to see this, sadly (again)... I am left handed.
Thanks for the video and review. Have a great day!
CRKT does some creative things. Thanks Nick!
As a tool on freight docks I'm glad it's a inexpensive easy sharpening blade steel have had and happily used mine for years
I recently bought a fantastic CRKT dagger in the UK. Got it in a 50% off sale so it was an absolute steal! It even came with a Tek Lok.
This said, there was a part of the handle that just looked like the dude fell asleep and ground a tiny patch flat on the handle scale for no logical reason, and the sheath doesnt quite fit the knife well enough to hold it safely in place to guarantee retention in the horizontal position.
I totally love the message in your video and respect it. CRKT make great knives ... but they arrive a bit fucked.
Going to be getting this soon.
These are again in stock at BladeHQ as of Nov 28, 2019, for 27.95.
"It's less murdery" SOLD!
I got one and sent it back. It wouldn’t lock so it actually dangerous, and the lock lever on the top seemed to be bent and almost broken, to boot. I like CRKT in general, but this was a huge disappointment.
I wish they made a Razel Mini.
say what you will about crkt, but they do love putting on new gimmicks and taking risks.
Thanks for review before I bought know wonder why they are on sale for 22$
The way I see it CRKT is the Ubisoft of the knife making world. Awesome ideas that get thrown together for a quick buck.
/sigh the dream was affordable production razels that are not made as cheaply as passable. crkt makes me sad with there complete lack of quality.
and let me edit in another note, Can I have an overbuilt coldsteel in razel please? that is a dream tool. (designed by demko with no stupidity please) Maybe I'm insane but thats a dream of mine.
the CRKT SPEW or small pocket every day wharcliff is a decent little fix blade but yeah I hear yeah low end all the way I don't think there an is high end edc like ZT
"Cricket, they make great designs poorly." - Nick
That is CRKT perfectly described in one sentence
It is really such a shame. CRKT does make some amazing designs and collaborations, but they're always let down by crappy materials. Just think about this with simple G10 and S30VN and perhaps three times the price? It would be a steal, or steel, making Nick jokes.
I hate liner locks
I'm left handed.
I’m left handed too man, it’s a cruel world 🤷♂️
I bought one of these because I really want a Razel knife. It arrived yesterday. It went back for a return today. What a massive pile of steaming hot garbage. Neither the lock, nor the LAWKS thing worked. The blade play was laughably bad. I got a $4.00 knife from Amazon that is infinitely more solid. Maybe I got the lemon of all lemons? The Mother of Lemons? The Lemonex Maximum? The lemoniest of lemons?
My post certainly wasn't meant as a criticism of your review, Nick! We simply got different knives. LOL
I don't know how you expect more for 35 bucks
chip Lape 21 dollars now but yes exactly what i was thinking.
You can get a first gen. Ontario Rat 1 for $17.00 with free shipping on ebay as of Sept. 1. Enough said.
Would love to be a "fly on the wall" during CRKT business case meeting for a new knife. Every meeting ends with a bean counter saying: But, if we keep it under $35 we can move 30,000 of them!!! 🤑
His reviews are good and he should be a voice actor in Hollywood.
If mine had come with the Graham clip, I might occasionally carry it. The design is cool, but there are too many little annoyances.
hehoff33 the Graham clip should've been in the box. :/
The US qtr must be feeling left out

WWE. Wrestling
oh man asymmetrical knife and Teflon washers. Nope cant do it. must stay away. I really wanted to try one but those 2 are deal breakers for me. great review as always. but after watching the entire review, I think I may have changed my mind lolz
I've bought and sold this knife twice. Just didn't do it for me.
I want it bad good vid nick
Every CRKT I've owned has been barely acceptable out of the box and needed love to be usable.
Better to engage lock accidentally than to disengage accidentally.
I’m just not a fan of the razel blade shape. I’d much rather just use a razor blade scraper for a job like that and leave my knife for cutting tasks only.
Para 3*
Crkt is gerbers big brother
Now, gerber is the older brother that used to be cool but is now just a useless drunkard
Not related to gerber. The cheapest crkt is better than the higher end gerbers. Zero Tolerance is the big brother to crkt.
Halfcocked86 ZT is the big brother to Kershaw
Where I live you can be your own uncle
Not a gerber fan but they at least make some knives in the USA and quality is coming back hard. Crkt will always be garbage.
22 bucks on bladehq right now btw
yeah, inappropriate asymmetry drives me bonkers...
Great toolbox knife. Would suck unwashed male appendages for a mid tech.
ZT razel now!!!
Amazon and BladeHQ do NOT have these. This knife has been out of production for like 5 years.
+KamakazeTaco They did when I filmed this. Whoops.
Nick Shabazz Not trying to sound like a jackass or anything! But I know I can't be the only one who'd love to get hold of a reasonably priced razel, and this thing is hard to find.
I have a Rhino GT and I'm always wary about abusing it as it's my favourite knife. Maybe I'll pick up one of these.
ed. Nevermind commented before you got to the ugly. Gonna have to hard pass.
Crkt "makes great designs poorly". Couldn't have said it better.
CRKT has a stubby now. Sent ya a link thru Instagram
They've had one for a long time, but it's been out of production.
I stopped watching after i heard "Teflon washers".... NOPE. cmon CRKT why are you cheaping out on a good designer? Its like Boker, great designs, mediocre finish.
Cricket has a lot of cool designs, but at the end of the day they always use poo steel, exactly
Wait, Nick Shabazz is white? The plot thickens...
"...or Cricket, as I'm gonna call them."
