I just picked up the orange Jagt this week. I have the same thoughts about the lock bar. It is super annoying and destroying my thumb. I am comparing this to the Jutland which seems tuned perfectly. Also...due to the strong lockbar, they really need a detent ramp. It gets caught all the time when closing the blade. Disappointed that it isn't just an issue with mine.
That’s a nice looking knife. That black swirl Micarta keeps reminding me of licorice. I like the Nessmuk blade design on the Jagt, a lot. Great class (for those of us wanting to learn) on lock bar stiffness and how the various OEMs perform on that characteristic. Thanks!
Been curious about giant mouse for a while never bought their stuff prices always seemed fairly cheap which I found concerning perhaps I'll try this guy.
They have some really nice designs but I think we all collectively wish they heat treated a bit better...while most of us don't actually NEED the hardness, just knowing it's probably gonna be soft kinda sucks...
@@martinwinumi think i said it means to hunt, hunt, hunted at east in German. Ive never heard of a place where u hunt be called hunt. Is that a danish translation. Are you Danish? Just curious. Just googled it as well and only see to hunt, etc. no location reference.

Thank you so much for watching and following along. I have such a blast bringing new content to you and am always open to chatting, so feel free to reach out anytime!

Good stuff Kevin! I also picked up on the liner lock stiffness situation myself, but overall really cool knife.
Haven’t been a big Giant Mouse fan. But I really like the look of this one. Thanks Kevin

Well put! That lock bar tension is annoying….and I have 5 GM’s. Like the knives, hate the lock bar tension. Excellent review.

Very cool knife. Really really good looking but very sad about the lock bar. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks
There are so many GM’s that I want but I just can’t afford! This one is another example of a knife that I want but can’t have!😢
SEZZLE baby
Been curious about giant mouse for a while never bought their stuff prices always seemed fairly cheap which I found concerning perhaps I'll try this guy.
Man, I love all of his knives... but I just wish they would get the sharpening choil right.
They have some really nice designs but I think we all collectively wish they heat treated a bit better...while most of us don't actually NEED the hardness, just knowing it's probably gonna be soft kinda sucks...
You Germanian?
Jagt = hunt
Yup. Isn’t that what i said?
@@LeftyEDC you said hunted which means you are after something like an animal
a hunt is a place where you go hunting 👍
@@martinwinumi think i said it means to hunt, hunt, hunted at east in German. Ive never heard of a place where u hunt be called hunt. Is that a danish translation. Are you Danish? Just curious. Just googled it as well and only see to hunt, etc. no location reference.
@@LeftyEDCjeg er dansk🇩🇰, jagt, at gå på jagt, man kan have en jagt, her mener de nok en jagtkniv.

@@martinwinumhuh. Ok cool. Thanks haha.
You‘re German? Greetings from Germany ✌🤠
Yep. Born in Hamburg. My moms whole side is there. Moved to the US when i was 3. My dad is American. Business, not military. Everyone asks 😂
@@LeftyEDC Wow! Thanks for telling me, very much appreciated! So you‘re not eligible for the presidency then? 😉
@@Barney_Greenwaythey still have that rule? Damn! I would never have made it anyway with my channel name in my history. I already get the occasional knucklehead who thinks its politically based 🤣
You speak German?
I am German, yea 😂
It's not that they are improving, it's that every once in a blue moon they get lucky and don't send out a QC nightmare 🤣 I've been burned way too many times on italian knives, I have zero faith... But I want a Tribeca so much and yet I know exactly what to expect, disappointment...
Sadly, I’m with ya. Heartbreaking bc GM designs are some of my favorite…. But, warped micarta scales crushed by factory over-torquing, off centered blades (that can’t be centered), and hardware that strips when you look at it just ain’t for me

What about lion steel?
@@MrBiggharv Lionsteel is a little better than the others with QC, I just think their designs are a bit um hideous for lack of a better term.
