Yeah i was just going to post this. I have one of the cold steel triple actions and it seems to be even better construction then this one is. And it flips open and close with ease. I got mine around 2008/2009. That was when i had first found a knife like this.
Jerad, I love that you’re covering the weird and wild in the knife industry. At this stage in my collecting, it’s exactly what I’m interested in searching out. Keep up the great work!
Very cool. For the price it's a cool collection piece. Of all the gravity knives, it's the one I'd be least likely to carry, like ever. But I appreciate the thinking that had to go into making it with such simple materials.
I just got this knife last week and it does break in nicely. I so did not expect to see this one on any reviewers channel. I put one of those nite ize brand stick on pocket clips on and it actually doesnt look too janky. It is a cool knife though.
Cool piece! I’m glad to see an accessible version of this mechanism from a company with the heritage of AGA Campolin. I’m surprised they’re going for a patent on it, though, because the folding design has been around for a while. Atropos has been making several versions for at least 3-4 years… maybe longer. No love lost over a Russian company, but Konstantin is a good guy who makes some cool knives. They’re handmade by a small group of craftsmen in small batches at production prices. Supporting a Russian company is on the consumer to decide but do check them out if you haven’t already.
Pretty cool..a full titanium would be even sweeter and then the mods would take over..alot of possibilities for sure.thanks for sharing..never seen one.
I like the design and you could have a tab with a thumb stud to disengage it. It would be an interesting one to do with some different materials-kind of a modern version of it. You could have it so it locks when in the open/closed position, disengaged by the thumb stud, and have a pocket clip. Just like the switchblade, it would be cool to see someone take the idea and run with it. If you had someone that could do a CAD drawing, you might be able to have a company like Kubey do a small run of them and you sell them in your store. Just a thought anyway.
This was pretty widely spread in eastern Europe last century and most were made by Roma People (used to be called Gypsies but I don’t think it’s a proper term anymore). Came from a need to fabricate something simple and covert for women to carry in the undergarments in order to defend themselves or to rob the “client.” Of course they were made of scrap metal and broken tools like saws or even straight razors. My grandmother had a Gillette blade holder of very similar design that would friction lock so it didn’t swivel. She was a master seamstress and used it for that craft. Greek proverb: All that is new is a well forgotten old. Thanks for the honest review Jared!
This is Roberto Ottonello's design. He's an Italian Master Knifemaker and he's been doing these for 20 years or so. I have one as well and love it. Very reasonably priced as well. I didn't know he licensed his design.
They definetly should add some kinda sheath for it or there should be way to lock it closed. I can understand though the decision not to add something to the knife because looks like the designer wanted to make it look as sleek as possible. This likely would fit lot of generic pouches that are pretty easy to find though
Reminds me of an old cold steel design, the triple action was it's name. This is basically identical, besides being made of cheap junk with 0 effort on fit and finish. Check out the cold steel one and see how great this knife COULD be.
@@knaftasticedc956yes, that's what I meant, this knife is cheap with zero effort to fit and finish. It's basically a 20 dollar utility knife. The cold steel one is much nicer.
Blackie Collins designed a very small version of this in the '80s, plastic handles, with a small thumbstud. I have one buried in a box somewhere... EDIT: I just dug it up - It was sold as the Case Knives Tri-Fold - stamped USA on the blade, Zytel handles. 4-finger grip on the handle - 2" sharpened edge.
Just a note, but a sweeping plunge is a stylistic decision. It’s a classic feature that’s been used on American knives for literally 100 years (and much longer in the days of filed bevels). A straight plunge might be easier for sharpening, but I don’t consider it a negative and I like the look on certain knives. Traditionally, sweeping plunges do tend to turn into recurves from a lot of sharpening, which I don’t love, but is a “smile” really that big a deal? Experienced freehand sharpeners can slightly adjust the bevel angle at the heel to avoid it for much longer. I get why some people feel a certain way about the plunge. I just don’t think it’s that important.
I decided against buying it not because of legal issues but the price isn't justifiable. Using 440C should have lowered the price but the company has it manufactured in China where production costs are much lower. Even at a 25%-30% price reduction, the company could have had enough profit.
The single review in the link to that knife - Nice design poor fit and finish. Inner and outer metal handle folded asymmetrically. First half inch of blade dull. Lots of Machining dirt in and around the pivot. But it flops open and shut.
@@billycarr7446 Haha! Not promising. All's it did look like the locking mechanism was hitting the blade right? Like the lock on a balisong. I always remove those.
fun knife action, but really, almost ten minutes of opening and closing a knife? Especially at the beginning, almost 3 minutes of opening and closing the knife while saying over and over how much fun it is. Almost put me to sleep.
It’s effortless! Swaps to a hand full of band aids haha.
Your comment made me laugh so hard. You know neeves is reviewing hard the more band aids on his hand.
😂😂
Cold Steel had a knife like that years ago. They called it the Triple Action if I recall. Long since discontinued.
Exactly was... Great design

I still have one that I bought over over 20 years ago
Jerad, I love that you’re covering the weird and wild in the knife industry. At this stage in my collecting, it’s exactly what I’m interested in searching out. Keep up the great work!
I could definitely see this being a very cool knife with some refinement and some texturing etc.
A trainer version and a pocket slip/sheath being included would probably be a good idea.
Your pretty good with that knive ,you were able to do the entire video with only one band-aid (the one you started with) very impressive 😂.
I really like the looks of that blade- Very simplistic, but elegant looking.
Jip, finally found my dream EDC!
I ordered that knife along with overnight shipping a case of Band-aids
Very cool. For the price it's a cool collection piece. Of all the gravity knives, it's the one I'd be least likely to carry, like ever. But I appreciate the thinking that had to go into making it with such simple materials.
That's so cool. Thanks Jared I love the unusual

Just got mine, the opening is effortless, the less you think about it, the easier it is.
That's pretty badass. I think I need one
ONLY LIKE 65 BONES

Glad you mentioned that this fellow. I haven’t heard of him yet. I’m looking at his work now. Beautiful slip joints
Does it come with bandaids?
Other makers have done this. Fred Perrin and Atropos first come to mind.
Wow! Is this knife legal in Calif?

You could thread a small thumb stud on the liner to help disengage the knife
They should add a little thumb stud for the disengage
YES EXACTLY

Cold steel was better looking but yes same...I have the dagger..
@@knaftasticedc956yes, that's what I meant, this knife is cheap with zero effort to fit and finish. It's basically a 20 dollar utility knife. The cold steel one is much nicer.
Wish they had some kind of softer plastic piece molded over the section of the locking door that can contact the blade edge. Pretty cool knife anyway.
It's the most elegant execution, but there are a few out there with the identical mechanism. The hidden hardware is clean for sure tho

😂Jerad has a cool new toy. Hope it's legal here (Germany) cause I definitely want one although I'd be making some modifications which should be fun.

Considering they have a black coated blade version, a textured powder coating on the handle would provide a better grip
New version of adult fidget spinner 😂
EXACTLY WHAT A TOUGH COWBOY WOULD CARRY
Have one of these by Cold Steel, it was too unique to pass up.
Very fun
That thing should have Band-Aids endorsement.
That thing has Edward scissorhands written all over it?
If there was just some slick simple little way to avoid the tip contacting the scale like that I'd be all over this.
Nearly bought that's a few weeks ago😂
Its a cool knife
But im sticking with my reate exo m
Its just more my style
That just crazy lol
Neat
For $65 hell yeah !
Looks cheap in my opinion, but i appreciate innovation.
I write patents often for work. This is a good example of a pointless patents.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
My wife would kill me in five minutes of this being in the house 😂 think ill get one ☝️
Coming soon to a gas station near you.
I keep seeing the blade edge slam into the part that covers/keeps it in. That seems sub optimal.

Yakuza Special...if you screw up, you lose a finger
It's interesting but I just see myself visiting the ER. Just not for me
SO THE THUBNAIL WAS CORRECT THEN LOL
@@NeevesKnives No joke. 10/10 authentic content per thumbnail 😂😂
Bang !! 😢
I can't imagine why anybody would want this thing, it's nothing but a novelty and looks like it belongs in a gas station.
man this is so italian. 😂😂 like some street kid in naples about to rob someone. thats what this knife is for
Long term reviews are that they get sloppy loose and the blade makes contact inside rolling the edge. Hard pass but great video.
With my clumsy ass I will be cut badly within just a few minutes.
Looks like a vape.
*weird
😅
$65 box cutter
Do Not like this one at all. Good video. Thanks
Then ya…take your wrist…put on the hat…touch your bellybutton..then swing forward…or is it backward? One of the two. Oh….then it opens.😊
Not for me.
Blade can hit that thing no thanks
mehhhhhhhhh
Oh I do not like that. 😬😬
