- Taking a look at the Paragon Warlock ridiculously fun strangely complex yet simple mechanism that is ridiculously fun too use
The current production model knives Paragon Warlock and Paragon Phoenix do not have the rattle or blade play issues as this early production model I have here in the video otherwise same knife see my Paragon Phoenix video for a more updated fit and finish
Gun expert: this is not a toy
Knife expert: this thing is frickin awesome, it's a great toy
to be fair youre less likely to put a hole in something 50 feet away
First rule of the knife safety is having fun.
Well to American school children guns are toys
@@jebcoe not according to Fox News knives are more deadly than guns
@@mohammedhussain6749 depends on the context, I’d rather have a knife when closer
The sound of it opening is the most satisfying thing I've ever heard.
Then you haven't heard the action racking on a Barrett chambered in .50bmg
Kaelin Storrs yes
@@kaelins.7234 what about the sound of a fart?
@@kaelins.7234 or a garand being a garand
Cuz it sounds like a really good sloppy bj 😂
I HAPPEN TO REALLY LOVE THAT KNIFE
ASHEVILLESTEEL as do I a truly Innovative design it has its quirks but there are so few new good ideas and innovation everywhere even less so in the knife community I feel.
Thank you for it
thank you for watching commenting and Manufacturing badass knives I just purchased a Estiletto Tanto serrated back it won't be my last paragon
Yeah, why are they out of stock everywhere lol
Wait a minute.....
The paragon is so expensive but its worth it

Wow
Coincidence? I think not!
Bruh
HOLY GOD HAHAHA
Bush would be proud lmao
The SOUND of that deployment and closing alone makes me want to buy it. Would probably be fun as hell to play with, too.
matchesburn you should never buy a tool just to play with it,for the amount this knife costs u could easly get a console or what ever to play...

_"matchesburn you should never buy a tool just to play with it"_
Says who? You? Do you know what is even more asinine? Telling someone else what they should and shouldn't do with their disposable income. Especially buying a fucking console, I have a PC with a R9 280. That would actually be a greater waste of money than buying a bucket full of these knives.
Besides, I already have multiple knives that retail up to about $200 *_each_*. This is not my first rodeo. So... thanks... but please keep it to yourself.
dude people are just asking you to exercise caution because of your first comment saying "fun as hell to play with" makes people think you are inexperience with knives so don't go and lash out at people for caring.
+Christian Xmus
_"dude people are just asking you to exercise caution because of your first comment saying "fun as hell to play with" makes people think you are inexperience with knives"_
...Why is why he advocates me buying a game console instead if I want something to entertain myself? No. Chances are, he's another one of those commenters that you'll see here if you look down that are against buying for "expensive" knives.
Playing with knives is what knife enthusiasts do. This is why balisongs are popular. This is why people buy OTFs and are willing to buy Microtechs. If anyone thinks "that guy is inexperienced with knives" for wanting to play with knives... they are inexperienced with knives themselves.
Let's even look at the video itself:
_"ridiculously fun strangely complex yet simple mechanism that is ridiculously fun too use"_
Straight from the video description. Gee. I wonder. Fun. That sounds... almost exactly the same fucking thing as what I was saying. Oh, wait, it was.
_"so don't go and lash out at people for caring."_
I can and I will, because it's not "caring," it's just being a presumptive asshole. To randomly comment to someone's post echoing what the video content creator said and wanting to purchase one for their own entertainment that "you shouldn't buy that to play with" when people who are into the hobby *_do just that_* is simply intolerable. May he pound sand. I find it admirable that you wish to see the good in people, but he was out of line doing what he did.
knife collectors talk about playing with knives all the time. not sure what you're talking about.
2:45 blade falling down and point hitting your finger made me flinch
3:01 was even worse
Just the sound that this knife makes. You KNOW the knife from the sound. Just like you know the m1 garand from the ping. This is a truly iconic knife.
Knife asmr😂
I'm gonna search that up
How'd it go?
haha
lmfao fr 😂😂😂
Actually picked up this knife last week I was having alot of fun and started hearing that rattle. There aren't many videos of this knife covering those kind of problem. Your video actually saved me was about to return this and came across your video and I've decided to just keep it. Thanks !
That knife looks absolutely beautiful.
Hey Jared, I actually bought a paragon warlock and just received it in the mail today and the only thing that made the final decision for me to buy this knife was your review on it
Him: You already know what this is.
Me: Sure. A musical instrument.
it looks like a nice blade, but it just seems like such a clumsy design...
bradley morgan it is
Russ Wilkerson I like the blade but not the handle
Unknown Unknown get a Smith and Wesson HRT boot knife
My son sent me the S&W boot knife but i don't carry because the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kommiefornia forbids double edged daggers. It's listed in the states eighty plus page gun laws. Damned Democrats!
Kent Nordland lol nothing like like calling people you don't like communists. right commie Nordland
You were the first one to make me see this knife about a year ago, just got one a couple days ago from bladehq and it came with rust on one of the corners I only got to play with it for like a day before sending it back
Yeah that is one of the coolest folders ive seen in a long damn time!
SavageShooter93 I know right there's so little actual Innovation on the market now
I would love to have this knife just to listen to it. I love metal sounds as you mentioned, just soooo much. Hearing this blade legit gave me goosebumps.
God, this makes one of the best noises I've ever heard something make.
All the knifes you show in the end are illegal in germany. Not because they are more deadly, but because the government doesnt like the opening mechanism. butterflyknifes are illegal because... one could hurt himself when opening them(?). Or because they are threatening(?). Automatic opening knifes are evil to carry and make Mother Merkel sad. Knifes that use gravity or centrifugal force are also a big no no for germans for some reason. Like I said, not that there would be any real reason for such bans.
Weird, I thought there were some rules for which a switchblade was acceptable in germany. I'm hoping that my state in the US will lift its ban on switchblades soon.
wikieditspam you and me both
There are some. They cant be made for combat and either dont lock or arn't one-handed switchblades. And they cant have a bladelength of more than 12cm. If you want the perfect "barely legal" knife for germany, get a Opinel Nr 12, the Locking mechanism makes it legal because the locking is two-handed, as well as the opening. But it CAN be oiled up to flip open one-handed, but then it doesnt lock automatically. And the blade-length is EXACTLY 12 cm...
wikieditspam they are a grey area in then state of Georgia , they aren't explicitly illegal , but some states , assist open is illegal
It’s also that it’s so easy and quick to open it u can attack before someone realises u have a knife unlike a normal knife that take a couple seconds to open
beautifull sounds from a beautifull knife!!! Perfect knife its crazy!!!
I don’t even like knives and I understand the awesomeness of this great pocket friend
I really appreciate knife guys as I am one myself but they are hard to come across on TH-cam.
When I got mine, I woke up the next day with a sore wrist from playing with it. It is literally my favorite thing to fidget with at my desk.
It looks like an interesting knife, but I think I'd hold out for a mk2 where they maybe pin the ends of the clamshell and give it a more positive, spring-locked action. Maybe you can modify it.
aaaah one of my favorites, i can get it crazy sharp for no reason whatsoever, one of my favorite edc knives
Wanted one of these since 2016.
7 years later here I am watching this again trying to get the open down right
this knife is SOOOOOO Freaking AWSOME. I was in love the moment i saw it! I saw it and ordered one about 1 hour later. Cant wait to get it.
Jonathan Rogers how have you liked it?
is there a decent knockoff I can't mentally justify a knife that costs a months rent
prototypecitizen there is not look around online there are interesting and innovative knife designs all over the place but you kind of have to look for them
I wish my monthly rent was as cheap as this knife.
Strideo1 same man, samee.
You get what you pay for. If you don't want to pay for quality that's your problem
Chris 674213 lil hostile, huh
I like the idea behind it because once deployed, there is nothing that will break the blade back into the handle like all folding knives. If you ever get into a fight, a folding knife is a bad knife because once the lock breaks, it'll fall towards your hand and cut it.
You most be using some awful folding knives cuz every one I’ve ever had has a switch or a blocker you need to press or push out of the way in order for the blade to collapse back into the handle.
@@RockyLXXXVIII bro you’re dragging up a 5 year old comment AND YOU DIDNT EVEN GET WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. They are talking about if the locking mechanism breaks.
dudes been commenting everywhere even 5 years ago lol
@@RockyLXXXVIII Nope, he's right. I've had a spyderco fail on me when doing light batonning (no other options were available), and the amount of force that I used to break the knife lock (not permanently, it didn't damage it but it will fail with enough pressure) was less than you would forsee yourself using in one of these scenarios.
I love paragons dude. I like it.
I have the new version with a single edge. The new design makes it much easier to know which side to hold and which side the knife comes out of. I find the best way to open is to grab it and press the buttons and let the blade fall down by gravity and then turn my hand palm up to get the blade to deploy fully before letting go of the buttons. After a little practice it is very easy. Basically like I open a Balisong; let blade drop and then turn hand palm up.
I am still playing with mine. Love it
I love that the handle completely encloses the blade, i have had problems with dirt, grime, mud, saw dust etc getting in mechanism of my everyday carry knife and causing problems. I don't use it alot so suddenly it not working right when i need it is annoying.
Looks like a good self-defense knife. Some aesthetic tweaks would make it a good Gent Knife.
Awwww the noise is amazing
Robinrocks I know right still one of my favorite things about this knife
I just purchased mine!
For second I thought that sound was a Balisong then I was like wait nvrmind 😂
I really really want one of those
Well I am definitely budgeting for that godly blade.
Having fun with that gravity drop out blade in the beginning, I see. :)
10:22 Fix this and I'll buy.
If you open it slow it is the coolest things you’ve ever seen and the sound when you open it it is the best
Finally got my hands on one
Ah bro, i am a metal head (music) and let me tell you, this knife is pretty freaking metal
Beautiful.
I have and love the contego it's awesome and the perfect size to fit in my hand, I have big hands, I want this new knife now -.-
Love the knife hate the price but would buy because it's dope af and a solid blade.. really nice stainless stell blade unique opening mechanism
Interesting engineering.
Great review.
Would never buy this knife but I love the luger videos, and I love the 0.5 second cameo of the Griptilian.
So it’s all good as long as it’s not being deployed,retracted,or riding in your pocket,,,buy it if for the sound
That’s cool whatever makes you happy and thx for the honesty
dude that's sick
LOL I don't use the blade stud to deploy my knives :) I use a gravity method where you deploy like usual and to it with such a swing that gravity swings the blade out! :) its fun and very useful to practice! nice knife!
That looks like an awesome knife, Not so sure that i would carry it though. Looks more like a nice one just to add to my collection.
This is the sort of knife you get for "wow" value to keep in your collection. It's cool, it's fun, but it's impractical for carry...I have a few knives like that in my collection. My favorite carry is a 4" Cold Steel G-10 Ti-Lite.
I live in Texas, as of Sept. 1 2017 pretty much ALL knives are legal to carry, even switchblades.
Me: I'm gonna buy this knife
* looks at price *
Me: hmmm never mind
ayeee nice crooked river ya got there!
I'm not that huge of a knife person but wow this thing is tempting
Dammit I just forgotten about this knife and now I need one
That's freaking hot!
Funnest is not a word
This dude is jumping in and out of the algorithm
Looks like a good one for 5 finger filet
realised I luv ur content
TampseyLp hell yeah thank you I appreciate that
He says funnest a lot and that is not a word
hi hi funnest is a superlative of the adjectives fun recommended to be avoided in formal literature but yes it is a word
I live maybe an hour and half away from ashville steel....always wanted to try one
That sound gives me the chubs
I wanna see a paragon mod where the casing is stiffer so you can grip it, or maybe a spring-actioned pin in the back and make the handle bigger.
thats so interesting... its like a clamshell...
_to the honeycomb tune_
🎶Warlock big, yea-yea yeah.
It's not small, no-no no.🎶
What was that first knife you pulled out after the warlock? Twas a beauty, my friend.
Omg I want one! I'm not sure what I'd do with a double sided blade though...
all right.... time to watch gun videos!
yes Asheville North Carolina
Im sure this design looked sooo good on paper.
paul calderone practical application as well
So your saying knifes are "one of the funnest toys ever "😎 well said
i love the sound this blade makes
I'm very late to the party but I think that they've gone through a revision. Mine is not as noisy when its closed or open. I had to actually work the blade back and forth in the middle of the swing for a minute or two when I first got it because it had a sticky area that kept holding it up. At first I thought it was a me issue because I was still figuring out the mechanism, but after I worked it back and forth I had no issues deploying and sheathing it.
Balisongs, a mans fidget spinner
Goodlooking knife & very interesting design :) !
Hmm just wondering how sturdy it is?
Mikael Nilsson I would say as long as you maintain solid grip very much so I disassemble it in part 2 video
I love it sweet vid thanks
KaZaP13-613 heck yeah thank you
Seems like it would make a good widdling knife for game traps.
This knife is doing my head in! 🤔
Looks bad ass and I would feel bad ass opening it but just the little bit of pressure in the palm and a finger will stop it and then I’m there trying to open it two three times
my right ear enjoyed this video
I’m looking to buy one, not super surprised if they discontinued them, but I can’t find one like yours anywhere online.
thats so cool i want it
Wow you really know bali song, very famous here in our country.
King finesser.
Jesus! $266 at bladehq! no way would I pay that much for something that isn't an actual automatic.
mike s you got that right. I'll stick with my italian made switch blade or my butterfly knife
mike s yeah like i was considering ordering one until i saw the price. like ill buy 100 MTech knives before i buy one of these
Russ Wilkerson the butterfly knife is kinda cringy nowadays with all these edgy people
Unknown Unknown A couple are cool. Butterfly karmbits.
Russ Wilkerson agreed! Way too expensive!
does it matter which way you hold the knife or does it only open one way
I've always wanted to play with one of these but could never justify the price, but recently I found Chinesium clone for $35. It's actually pretty alright, action is amazing, definitely the most fun knife I own. I like it so much, honestly I might be tempted to buy a real one, but ~$400 on a knife toy(obviously not a great user lol) would be the most expensive knife I own and use the least. Great fun though, I think gravity knives might be my favorite.
That's like a handheld double edge sword, the blade part even looks like a sword a little bit
soo sick
ohhh that knife tho, I need it for my collection man but I can't afford it ;-;
Knives are fun
That's a straight movie villain knife. Haha
The real question is where can we get this amazing knife?
You may have already found it but BladeHQ 😂
@@alext4183 lmao
your commentary is very interesting man thanks ! lol from Bangladesh
Very nice, but I'll hang on to grandpa's old Italian Stiletto
This knife is just like a butterfly when it comes to usage. It doesn't seem that practical but it is still cool and fun.
