    i've been seeing these on TH-cam for years now, finally picked one up today! figured i should grab one because every time i saw one for sale it's just a little but more expensive than the last time lol it's just the drop point version but i still love it

    Great video brother. Since you have all those knives you should do a video on each one with its own set of appropriate tests based on blade shape.

    Nice. I got one with tanto blade. No Neck knife wearing people said bad things about the minimalist series. Small fixed knives are so useful.

  • @John-mf6ky

    Been tempted to pick one of these up for a long time. I love all the different blade shapes. I'm just not crazy about the handle, I prefer something a little more traditional. I've been wanting a mini EDC fixed blade. The boker lil friend looks nice too.

  • @Swing4gr8nessN8

    A trick I leaned from Ed Caldron is to use a piece of bicycle inner tube on your belt and slip the sheath in. Slimmer than any clip for those who crouch a lot. I also glued a rubber wedge to the end of the sheath to make it lay flatter on the belt near the buckle.

    Ive had the black drop point for a few years now. Great little knife. Basically a box cutter.

  • @Bada_Boom78
    @Bada_Boom78 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just got my drop point today. Some ppl complain about the retention of the sheath. The retention is good. I added the clip to the sheath and it fit my belt perfectly. I just wish there was a better way to keep it from sliding between my 1:00 belt loop and the 12:00 belt buckle area. I’ll see what I can do about keeping it still. It’s still a great tool and I’m glad I got it. The draw came natural too, no issues even if it did float around from 12-1:00.
    As far as retention, I wouldn’t sleep with it on, but I wouldn’t worry about it falling out either unless you’re doing something rough, then you might not want to be wearing a blade anyway. Just my review.

  • @RealBoiJare
    @RealBoiJare 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have the exact same spear point one you have that mention you haven’t sharpened yet. Mine also came very sharp brand new and I haven’t used it enough to wear it at all. Love it so far

  • @LonestarTaoboy

    That little bit of cord is called a fob. A lanyard is used for wrapping around the hand for extra grip and security.

    The minimalist deserve a slightly larger brother, the Katana is a good example. 6-7cm blade, in blackwash and D2 would be a winner. Blasted finish attracts rust.

      @Hylonomus 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No it's not. It's pretty cheap plastic. Not only does the knife have a habit of falling out pretty easily, but I've gone through two factory sheaths, both broke over the course of a few months of every day use. The knife is still great, but I recommend ordering an actual Kydex sheath for it.

  • @acid6urns
    @acid6urns ปีที่แล้ว +2

    my only problem with these is most of them except for like the graphic editions and the persian, katana, and spear point, come in 5cr15 which is imo an absolutely garbage steel especially when they make the same knives in 8cr13 which is literally objectively better
