Hey Kevin. Do you think this axis lock fails in a self defense situation? If you hit the bottom of the knife on a hard surface it disengages the lock. Just wanted to get your opinion. I actually love this knife.
As a collector I wanted one of each brands first knock off axis lock ... This one sold before I got in hand . Looking forward to it. I wonder if they will keep them all USA because it's a way better value then the cheapest Grigory bms
Blade HQ already has like 4 sku's so I will wait till the m390 or other high end steel version then get one. That is if I can figure a work around or CBSA backs off a bit
Go ahead. Choke up on that handle a little more. That Grip is going to gain a whole lot more traction once you put your finger into the heel of that blade.
I didn't like it and returned the knife back to the seller. It is too small for my hand. I own Cold Steel Code 4 and I really like it, but Kershaw Irridium is too small, almost unusable for me
@@Kevinclearysharpstuff M4 is extremely similar to D2. M4 and d2 are both prone to rusting. M4 may hold its edge a bit longer, but I don't get how that makes M4 4x more expensive than d2. The jokes on people who believe M4 is worth 4x the price of what d2 is.
I love the aesthetic and action but the ergonomics is meh 🫤. The covalent have a better lock bar action although it the blade started striking the center spacer on mine after a good amount of use and a bunch of fidgeting.
The D2 on my Civivi is razor sharp. It’s easy to sharpen. I like the new Kershaw.
You sir, are a reliable knife reviewer. 👍👍
seems we are parking in the same garage here - i never liked the 940 design, but i love the Iridium.
I think prying anything with a pocket knife is idiotic. I agree with metal complex.

You must have some bear paws!
That M4 steel on that benchmade Freek will rust just as easy as D2 steel. And the Freek is what, like 4× more expensive than the iridium. What a joke.
I dont get the joke. What argument are you trying to make here?
