I was shocked to find out that they ship out of Missouri city, lol. Ordered a pyrite and it showed up in A day and a half , lol. I live in South Texas, btw
I love my button lock Prado. I mean Laconico...! They are limited and numbered. I have 351/500. Thanks for the review. I hope this steel holds up like I think it will.
Thanks for the Vid - CJRB says AR-SFII Steel has better Edge retention over AR-RPM9 & I say HECK YEA 🦾- I was fine with the AR-RPM9 but how can we complain if now with the AR-SFII we get better edge retention 👊
A lot of steels really need to be sharpened to get past any steel that got hot during factory belt sharpening. Even some of the best s90v from spyderco has an extreme difference from the factory edge to the first sharpening, although s90v also seems to just be overall one of the most susceptible to the edge getting hot. Every knife I've had so far had a noticable difference in edge retention after being sharpened including arrpm9 so I'd assume the same will be true for this steel. I was really disappointed when I got my civivi vision fg and it lost the edge in like 10 days, after sharpening it's a completely different animal. It was such a big difference I think the edge had to be a bit more "burnt" than most other knives I've owned.
And $99 isn’t terrible for the Prado. New steel, new pricing, but still under $100. Ok 👍🏻 I wonder if this is the steel they developed consulting with Knife Steel Nerd, after the ARRPM9 thing? Or if that is still coming? 🤔
Is it really a new composition 9r did they more accurately name their steel. Wasnt it found to not really be powdered metalurgy or some crap? I dont know im not a doctor
It helps to apply a bit of "torque" (for lack of a better word) with your thumb and index finger. It allows you to flick harder with the middle finger. If you're trying to reverse flick a frame lock, you have to make sure you're not putting pressure on the lock bar. I learned how to do it by practicing with a Spyderco PM 2
More companies need to start making their own steel compositions. I love this. 🎉❤
TOGETHER...RIGHT NOW🎵🎵🎵🎵
Open CAD -> Flip Flop Lock -> 2 New Knives -> Profit
If the formula works LOL

Rip Smkw catalogs. The winter one was the last one they will make😢
Well that sucks. I was wondering why they gave me three of them.
Damnit that's my cut test paper lol
Good riddance. Any catalog that doesn’t publish blade length is only 50% useful
@ hahaha true
I got the hectare but was pretty disappointed with the edge retention. Still love the knife so I’m incredibly excited for this.

The Prado is almost perfect. Just make the micarta color a little lighter and it would look like the knife I’ve been dreaming about
Hmm i wonder how many youtubers will say how great this new budget steel is without even using it?? 😅
It's a button lock Good times, just got a fickstop Chaves BNIB for $250 - ty Blade Binge
The hector always had a crossbar lock
spray formed 154....rpm9 was basically spray formed 9cr....test her out lil buddy
So far so good with my SF-II Bowie Pyrite, but I'll wait until a guy on TH-cam tells me how to feel about it before deciding if I like it.
😉
😂
😂
I wish the Hectare had a 3-inch blade... for travel reasons.
That Prado may have to replace my Bowie Pyrite, it is slick looking, and that handle looks a bit better for my xl mitts. Thanks Kole!

Hectar shall henceforth be referred to as the funky pyrite. 🎉
For the algorithm overlords
Psyduck is underrated
I think you need to be nicer to this future you guy. You seem to order him around a lot.
To be fair, he does most of the work (I'm future me btw)
@TristateEDC wait...what!?!
@@RandyFasnacht hi, it's me...from the future.
@@TristateEDC Can you tell me if the Bengals make the playoffs?
AR-SF 2? What steel is comparable to that?

You are correct.
Total noob ?, what is trick to reverse flick, I too have lil baby boy hands 🙌🏼

Leverage + everything he said.
dude you can't buy the rights to everything but the "unboxing" shot and stop dinging blade edges on the spine of other knives, it gives me the ick
What? lol
@@TristateEDC haha (kinda) jk about the second part but the "unboxing" title shot has the watermark still
