      The James Brand always FRUSTRATES me because of the kind of money they charge for their knives! These blades are cool, but too high in price IMO!

    Actually scored one of these for 30% off on Gallantry since I had a discount code that was unused. Honestly? For about $45 shipped, I felt like it was at least solid, price-wise. At the very least, it was a better value than the CIVIVI Mandate, which was a 9Cr, resharpenable-in-theory-utility knife that cost $90+. Ironically, the Wayland is the one and only other knife I bought (albeit second hand) from TJB that I felt was legitimately worth it. The action is unusual on mine. It's not mushy, but it almost feels hydraulic. Had it checked by Rob over at TheApostleP (whom I bought it from) and it's not defective, either, so I think that's how they intended it to feel. As far as TJB's OEMs, I think they're QSP, Sanrenmu (the Folsom is DEFINITELY Sanrenmu, as is the Ellis) and Bestech.

    Good thing it’s so easy to change the razor blades considering it only lets you use like 15% of the edge… 🤦‍♂️

    • @LeftyEDC
      @LeftyEDC  ปีที่แล้ว

      All the utility knives ive seen like this have the same amount of blade. I think it’s because of the notches in the blade

    • @CDXRK
      @CDXRK 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Take a look at the razor gen 2 by surge panchenko, 150gbp but it uses almost all the blade and is a slipjoint so it's equally award for Letts and is dirty right handers

    Gotta disagree on this one. Nowhere near enough blade sticking out and the blade edge not being flush with the body reduces usability even further, more overpriced nonsense from The James Brand. 😒 The slip joint isn't quite as bad.

    • @LeftyEDC
      @LeftyEDC  ปีที่แล้ว

      I dont think u can call $60 overpriced for this. The rest is subjective, i see ur point

  • @rickyhurtt5568
    @rickyhurtt5568 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You can get a good Irwin that does the exact same thing and actually fits your hand for less than $20. Just don't see $100 for a utility knife. Much less that little bitty one for nearly the same thing

      Its $60. I was wrong. But yea its edc gear and a knife. If u just want the knife, why are watching my channel? 🤣. I don’t mean that like you shouldn’t watch. Im saying u could make that $20 Irwin argument for every single thing I show on the channel right?
