Thanks for another great review. You rock. I have a growing Twosun collection and I genuinely admire their materials and overall quality for the money. But being able to easily touch the blade edge in the pocket is just unacceptable. I'm sure many collectors have the hardware to correct this flaw by re-profiling the blade--I'm not one of them--I'd be at it for days. Quite a catch 22 when a knife has what looks to be great blade steel and awesome looks and action only to be hamstrung by such a fatal flaw. Hard to spend the money on this one. And the designers who do their 3D CAD drawings must know about it too. Kudos to you for calling a spade a spade. If I can get a great, great deal i might add it to the collection but I'll look to other Twosuns without this flaw first.
Not crazy about the rising grind line. May still get it. I think that rising grind line would keep allot from making the purchase and would look so good if it went straight across or full flat. Oh well thanks 🍻
Thanks for participating in the channel John. I don't believe there is too much of an issue. Most TWOSUN lockbars are titanium and they have steel inserts screw mounted to them.
Waiting for bid for 175. I plan on reshaping belly to make safer. Glad my Worksharp has some serious grits to grind this tungsten augmented steel. Wish me luck, and I'll be wearing my goggles!
Another one with THE design flaw, ugh. I just let one go at 87, but I don't want to hand a knife that I'm proud of over to someone and warn them they can get cut with it closed.
Hey how close the the edge of the blade to the back of the knife when it's closed? Reaching in the pocket for something, im afraid my pinkie finger will ride along the edge of the blade. Thanks for your time!
Towards the end of each video the knives are checked for "pocket safety", blade and tip contact. On this one about the 21min mark you'll find all of the safety checks.
I really like the knife, im sure I would like the other version in d2 with the red micarta as well. The design flaw known, I would buy and carry this knife. P.S., I saw one go on ebay yesterday for $127 and at that price, it's a must buy.

Always love your work big dogg. Thanks for the video! 😊

I really enjoy your reviews. Your observations are on target.
Stephen, ty you for encouraging words.
Thnx for review. I would be curious about drilling and tapping into ti, and then using steel screws. I do like all T8s.

Be sure to check back with an update, would love to see how your modifications are going.
@@DiscerningMan Thnx, hard frkin steel.
