another great review jim! you a hands down my favorite knife reviewer you make it fun and very informative. you Re always improving . thanks for all the time that you take out of your busy schedule.
Awesome fantastic design! That purple makes me crazy! On my opinion the guys should to make some color variations of this great knife. Is there any ergonomic troubles with the clip like with DOC's one was? Thank you, Jim, for sharing! Great video!
I too like the blade shape on the model 2 but I can't stand that opening hole. For me it ruins the blade. I really like how the hole was done on decepticon 1, looks awesome. My friend lent his decepticon 1 to me and its really growing on me. Usually I don't like a heavy knife, the kwaiback midtech is as heavy as I go and somehow it feels lighter than it actually is but the decepticon is one heavy mutha. Now im concerned about getting a direware since those are even heavier but I love the design too much. Nice review Jim, can't wait to see the other knives reviewed by you. Im actually waiting for my asymmetric to get here, I ordered it and its taking its sweet ass time sitting in Russia.
So in my opinion a knife is a tool and is meant to be used and abused, rather than kept as a piece of art or a talking point. Yet.... I find myself looking at a Decepticon 2 in purple anodizing, taking note of the $1200 price tag, and (knowing full well that I would never want to use it like any of my other knives) then considering buying it... Gotta say, its hard not to just dive in and get such a beautiful item without taking a while to consider it.
I'm really conflicted about CKF because I've been talking to a lot of US custom knife makers and what they are saying is that they work there ass off to make affordable custom knives and really dislike how CFK is really making a mostly Chinese product and getting away with charging the prices they are. but there knives look and are great but it's conflicting me because do I spend my money to buy an American made knife and support the people I know and talk too or experiment and buy a knife from CFK.
Only you can decide that. Keep in mind that many custom makers are reaching out to Chinese manufacturers right now to get bids for their midtech projects.
In the same way that fake Rolexes are "exact replicas"? The CKF knives are hand-finished and assembled, the parts are just manufactured in China from China-source materials.
AP I agree mostly except there is no movement here. just three bits of steel :-) I would have originals all day but in uk can only just get the clones from china in past customs
Bob Jordan in public, certainly but not on your own property, I live in England and I wouldnt dream of taking it out but I still bought one, actually I just ordered another.. (the first Deceptacom, not this one.
Decepticons are the knives where design becomes a true art. Unlike 90% of them all that are just designed well, or not so well.
Great VID, I like seeing and having you explain the different details about these knives.
They truly are a work of art, tks
another great review jim! you a hands down my favorite knife reviewer you make it fun and very informative. you Re always improving . thanks for all the time that you take out of your busy schedule.
damn jim your custom decepticon 2 when flipped open sounds like nothing else, the pure metalic sound is just awsome to listen to.
I really love this design, making me a little jealous :)
LOL. loving my bionic bro!
You should make a autobot version in red and blue with a chrome tanto hollow grind. and then give it to me ;)
I have been flipping my 2 for days now, definitely going to order another.
They really do look awesome.
This one is fully capable of housing your dust bunny collection.

Love the title. Lol. crazy cool knife too

Yay Skywarp! I still have my G1 Skywarp. Was that yours on the cover shot? BTW, I like the detail you put into your knife reviews. Good stuff.
Picture this knife in full Timascus heat anodized frame!!! That'b be sick!
How many are they making?
If you had to pick between this or your butcher. To be in your pocket on almost a daily basis. Witch one would you go with. And why?
Skywarp knife. That's fucking sick.
Do these retain their value?
when you do the rabbit video, maybe bring the decepticon 2 in for some comparison? the blades look very similar.
no it was black an black love the knives
Are you referring to Skywarp? It's in my thumbnail image... black/grey/purple Trust me.

I never understand the "butt to butt" reference
just means the Butt end of the knifes lined with the others
naihanchin Kempo I get that... but he's obviously trying to make reference to something else also.

Pretty sure it's another way of saying head to head or dick to dick
Zakary Win
