    Hey! Nicolas here. Thanks for the Video. Great review as always.
    This Cedar has super light stonewash on the scales and the Vanax blade so the small scratches wouldn't bother you too much.
    The Vanax is heat treated in house to 61hrc (basically that's the max hardness you can get out of it with full liquid nitrogen cryo treatment) And the Rwl34 is 63-64hrc.
    You can change the detent by adjusting the lockbar pressure a little bit but on your own responsibility.
    Thanks again!

    Unfortunately his name isn't Rob Johnson😂
    According to his website "My name is Nicolas and I'm the founder of small knife making company - Robjohnsons. The company is named after my great grandfather Robert and his father John who were both talented blacksmiths." Which is where he gets the *Rob* *John* and *"sons"* part of the name since his great-grandfather started the knifemaking occupation in his family and then taught his sons how to make them.
    But it's the effort that matters Kole! hahaha
    Thanks for the new video💪

    I've got Cypress #59 (v1) and Cedar #33 here, both beautiful knives :) They aren't perfect, especially the Cypress has a few points that needed improvement, but overall they are great knives and imo definitely worth the money. I prefer the Cedar since I always prefer large knives, the Cypress is a bit small for my tastes. But I do love me a front flipper and the Cypress is a beautifully executed one. My main gripe with the Cedar is the flipper, it really doesn't function to well on mine. The detent is reasonably strong, on the stronger side but nothing extreme, yet it is already too much to comfortable use the flipper. My finger slips off half of the time and if it does it hurts quite a bit. Luckily the opening hole is absolutely perfect for the reverse flick, so I can just leave the flipper be.

    I have this knife in slightly different finish and acid washed blade. It’s very well made, but I am not a huge fan of stepped blade, as it creates additional friction when slicing. Other than that - it is great, and looks stunning.
    Thanks for your review.

    Would like to hear your thoughts on the Cedar after you've used it for a while. I got a saltwater build, and I still haven't really managed to carry it. Maybe never will. Got it for work - as an emergency knife for cutting cables in case of entanglement around salt water. First thing was the action was terrible. Surface of the blade where the detent ball rode was grody, so I polished it. Better, but not good. Sent back for warranty replacement of lockbar insert. Came back with a new pocket clip that was so pointy it drew blood. And extremely sharp edges on the lockbar and insert, ended up cutting my thumb. No chamfering, no relief at all on those sharp parts. Off to WoK to get those two things fixed. After it came back, tried carrying. Diamond milling plus that clip = torn pocket edges. And the lockbar cutout is deep and long and wants to catch on the edge of the pocket going in and coming out - not a good thing for an emergency tool. I just don't find it suitable for real carry. Really want to hear your experiences now that 6 months have gone by.

    Rob Johnson is probably MORE prestigious than oz machine factory or brown or hermin.... Robs knives are machined to a eye watering ear bleeding tolerance point. Their absolutely out of this world but EXTREMELY hard to get. The fact they cost less than a ROSIE is a sin... a Rosie is a pile of dog shit compared to a Cedar. The ONLY knife I would put in this ball part is a Holt, Hermin, Blauerock, ETC.
