Fischer Blades is a Great company! I saw this knife reviewed by Melissa on TH-cam. I was instantly hooked but the batch was already sold out so I put my name on the waiting list. Got notified a new batch would be available and called their sales support and actually spoke to Chas. Now that is quality customer support. Got all my questions answered and placed my order. I got a knife from the 0005 batch. Sexy knife. Loved the FDE color. Extra fast shipping. Great knife and very happy I was able to purchase one. Highly recommended. Thanks Chas.
The only reason I found out about this knife is that I am subscribed to Melissa Backwoods and saw it there the other day, now I am saving up to order one. I hope you ship to Canada.
@@fisherblades Got the knife today! VERY IMPRESSED! The Tanto blade fits it so well and the handle size is absolutely perfect. I have large/XL hands. Love the pocket carry ability. The sheath is amazing too. (Might make a great neck knife with a different sheath). This one is a keeper!
Times are tough guys! Thats why the the price is such a big deal. I think for the knife you are getting. The quality, the RAD, the 🇺🇲U.S.A🇺🇲 made. We need to support knife companies 🇺🇲made in America🇺🇲 Great idea! Great job! I'll be getting one! Gotta save up!
Going to have to order one of these next time they are available. Too bad they are illegal in your hometown (any fixed blade of any length) with a few exceptions of work or outdoor things like hiking or fishing... as if there's a lot of hiking inside the city of Seattle. You should start selling a few through my new favorite knife shop in SODO tthat's almost under the west seattle bridge.
This is not precisely true about Seattle. Check out: www.akti.org/specious-in-seattle/#:~:text=The%20Seattle%20Municipal%20Code%20defines,in%20length.%E2%80%9D%20Section%2012A. An excerpt: The Seattle Municipal Code defines “dangerous knife” as “any fixed-blade knife and any other knife having a blade more than 3 1/2 inches in length.” Section 12A.14.080 of that code captioned “Unlawful use of weapons” states as pertinent that it is unlawful to: Knowingly carry concealed or unconcealed on such person any dangerous knife. Worth noting that it uses 3.5" as the operative trigger for "dangerous" although I wouldn't doubt that the Seattle City Attorney would overlook this length to deem anything he/she wants as "dangerous." Also note, there have been instances of kitchen paring knives being deemed dangerous. As a Seattle resident myself, I've decided to allow myself to carry my 3" fixed blade, and if I get it trouble, I'd get in trouble whether is was a fixed blade or not.
Guys, in a clinch Situation you also need a sharpened top edge, and if even a short part from the tip like from tip to half way of the blade (excuse my bad english) A reverse Double edged or triple edged tanto ofers those option. And there are people who swear on the wharencliffe so a reverse tanto could give you definitiv MORE options, like slash and pullback slash in a row Please think always tactical, as if you were in every kind of Situation and movement as a non-perfectly-skilled Fighter as Most of your customers aren't 😉 But at all, a nice further tanto knife on the market More clip options for the sheath are highly recommend for the next batch😉 I need options for natural, icepick and belt as only a right handed man as most of people
You make a very good point. We agree that a sharpened spine from tip to roughly 1/2 the length of the blade is very beneficial for CQB scenarios. We decided to leave it to the user to sharpen this area if desired (which the swedge facilitates). There are many states/cities that make a double-edged knife legally problematic to carry, so we wanted to give the choice to the user for that...thanks for commenting! /Chas Fisher
@@fisherblades OK I See your Point! I think you brought some fresh Air in the latest Knife Market 😉 This model could become a top seller, but you must do a good Marketing and please try to lower the price. I think 249,- would be fine for Most. And what is even more important - there is room for a 2.0 Version If you find enough Fans now. Don't scare the volks away Just by the price. Think Into Future and further Models. There were so many special Models in the past which disappeared after only one Bench. Thats Not OK. Not for the customers Not for the company. A good invention should stay in the market as long as possible
Hi Chas! Got my sterile version a few days ago, love it! But curious Is there any difference between the sterile version & engraved/batch #’d versions? Thanks!!
Each Unicorn Edition will have something different about it - could be steel, could be scale material and/or color, could be blade finish. This first Unicorn Edition uses the same steel as our first batch - AEB-L, which has excellent edge retention when hardened to 60-62, BTW. So the answer really is that it depends. MagnaCut is being considered, but our view is that the base steel is really only a part of blade quality. We feel heat treat/temper plays an enormous part in bringing out the full potential of a steel, and every use profile mandates it's own steel performance attributes. MagnaCut alone is not necessarily a superior steel, although it COULD be, depending on the use-profile of the knife.
No - you'll need to decide which "side" to get. I put that in quotations because if you want to draw with your right hand in hammer, saber, or reverse edge-in grip, then you'd want a "right-pocket" sheath. If you wanted to draw with your right hand in reverse edge-OUT grip, you could put a "left-pocket" sheath in your right pocket. If you wanted to draw LEFT hand, all above applies but reverse-sheath-type. Just call or email us if you need more clarification. Thanks! /Chas Fisher
Depending on what type of pocket you have that knife will not allow my hand in there to get my keys out. I find it easier to carry a small folder and my Full race SW 1076
@@charlesgore8428 Happy to do so! Without knowing your national/potical affiliation, would you readily buy a cheap knife made by ISIS/ISIL? Or the Taliban? Are you solely buying on price:quality?
When you stab something, or someone if your thumb is on that ramp like he said you will most likely break your thumb. Stabbing is done hammer fist grip for a reason.
You have a right to your opinion, but your opinion is patently untrue. I've done multiple carcass testing using the saber grip both stabbing and penetrating/slashing and have never come close to breaking my thumb, let alone injuring it at all. It's right there on video for you see. Thanks for commenting!
@scottbollinger3641: Three main points to make on the price: 1. Entirely made in the USA with American labor. Every single step of manufacturing this blade involves paying American employees American wages. USA manufacturing abides by strong laws to protect the consumer and the environment. No dumping of blade finish waste into our rivers! 2. Made entirely of US and German materials. The only part of this knife and its packaging that isn’t American is the German steel. The fasteners are custom made in the US with US steel. The sheath is made entirely of US-sourced materials. We could have cut the cost of this blade in half by buying cheaper from China. No China junk in this blade! 3. Long and involved R&D process. We don’t just jump onto live IG and sketch out knife designs based on our IG followers requests. We put many months into designing, prototyping and testing with many changes made to the knife and its carry system. This also costs - time and money. Thanks for the question! /Chas Fisher
@@scottbollinger3641 Our tanto has two very straight edges - the proximal edge (closer to the grip) and the distal edge (edge from tip to the proximal edge). Where those two edges meet we call the tanto intersection. Sharpening is very easy on a belt sharpener. Pretty easy on a stone but stone needs to be flat. Easy on a ceramic rod sharpener, but take care transitioning past the tanto intersection when going from proximal to distal edge.
Love and hate it. 25 dps levels? No. 20, max. Want strength up front? Fine, compound grinds. Steel choice, for 300 bones I expect magnacut or preferably K390. Lastly, weight wise that's a lot of meat invested in those flats.... that said design is an iterative process. I will wait for the next iteration, but I will buy when it meets my needs. Almost there...
Come down $100 to $199, and not only will you get me sold on your product, but you will also increase sales to a broader target consumer base sheer volume and at the same time guarantee a larger profit margin versus a smaller volume and profits at the current price point. Good luck.
I just returned home from a run to the Dakotas. And there was that package that I was waiting to open upon arrival. Inside is #67 of 230 count Covert production run. The covert blade is impressive, and so is the pocket sheath. I guarantee any skeptics, you will not be disappointed. Spend the $300.00 cash and be happy with your very own Beckwith Covert blade in hand and pocket. 🫡🫡🫡
