These are the kinds of knives I love! I'm not a Navy Seal, i'm not Rambo, the most I will probably ever do with my knives is open packages or slice an apple, but these crazy tactical knives are just bonkers fun to me!
Bought one today (04/26/2023). I've been wanting one since I started collecting knives in 2021. I was able to purchase the fixed blade back then and I just chanced upon the folder with the latest delivery of new knives at the shop I hang out in. I love it. I love Persian style blades.
Yeah for hard use tests cold steel did test the clever girl vs a cold steel. It did hold almost as mutch as the cold steel. 600 pound or something. The external stop pins could give it some benefits in lateral strenght. I guess the fine tip on that crkt could snap
Love the Blade .. That $169 was in Australia right ? Amazon in US has it $113 and it does have the IKBS pivot , but that price is still high for D2 , I don't care what lock it has ....
That blade reminds me of the Cold Steel Scimitar which was one of my first quality knives before my focus shifted heavily to smaller, less scary/weapony, utility focused knives. If I had disposable cash I'd pick one up just for the nostalgia factor. Great review as always
Love your reviews Pete, and will even watch reviews in knives I have zero interest in. CRKT though have lost their minds though with this at USD $160 in D2, It's like they've forgotten Civivi even exist.
Even with less effort, your reviews are still fun! :D Keep the wierdness comeing pete! You are keeping the knife youtube sphere fun and interesting! :D There are a million serious reviewers, but less then a handful of comedy knife channels like yours! (only othe that comes to mind is BHQ)
I love the in-the-hand size comparisons you did here! I've never seen another reviewer do it that way, but it's such an intuitive way to compare sizes and get a sense for which ones you can handle in day-to-day use. I really mean that, but this is also absolutely a penis joke
Just ordered a Maxaxe Goliath 2 because knives like this aren't quite big enough for a size queen like myself. 😅 Edit: Thumb stud stops on the Half breed LBF are looking a bit worse for wear @ 4:25!
Maxace known for bad heat treatment protocols, and the owner started out as a cloner then started blaming people for reviewing the honey badger which supposedly was a clone of one of his models lol. Avoid that brand.
Another great review but you left some unanswered questions... The knife seems strong and scary enough but will it cut sissal? If so, how much? Will it slice cheese cleanly? Will it stand up to the riggers of omlette production? Thank you for the fun content. May I request a comparison between the CRKT CEO and the new Buck Decatur?
Hey Pete, ever try polishing the washers on your knives? Just did my PM2 with a strop and buffing compound and the difference is night and day. Have it cranked all the way tight and still drops shut. Keep up the great work

How is the heat treat on CRKT's D2? I'm considering the M16-04DB, but it is the same price as a CS Recon 1. I already have a recon, so would like the M16, but that price for D2 seems steep, except if the heat treat is great.
I had the Clever Girl, enjoyed it. I recall the flipper tab a bit slippery when deploying though. I preferred the thumbstud deployment. The new 2021 Trask is a nice smaller deadbolt model although they went wih FRN instead of G10. As for the Triad Lock, I personally believe the Shark Lock on the AD20 to be stronger. Both locks are invented by Andrew Demko, I did the exact same batoning task with a Cold Steel SR1 and a Demko AD20. The Triad Lock nearly rattled itself apart where the Shark Lock remained solid. It wasn't a completely scientific test but something i observed.
Wow, that batoning with that tiny upswept tip to beat on. Was that some of the granite consistency wood that I hear of in your neighborhood ? I'm a big guy with large hands so generally prefer knives on the larger size. Thought of getting one when I first saw it but the price vs. materials caused me to say no. Great review, as usual you went above & beyond. Thanks Pete.
This is the only CRKT that I have ever even remotely considered buying even though saying that induces my gag reflex a bit. But it is a great knife CRKT has put together there. "Hurlgh"

I'd prefer a deeper carry pocket clip. The knife is an incredible operators knife, perfect for a military deployment and covert operations. It is not a utility knife.

The Tri-Ad lock has never broken in to where I'm able to close the blade using just my two hands. The lock is so stout, that I must use a tool of some sort (a Sharpie or Bic pen work well), held perpendicular to the axis of the blade to put more pressure onto the lock release point of the lock bar.

It's apparent that my unuseable Tri-Ad lock is not unique as there are several You Tube videos available on how to mod it, so that it will work satisfactorily. ... Before Lynn Thompson sold the Cold Steel Company, a woman in customer service told me the Frenzy could be shipped in for repair, but that it would take several months to accomplish that before it was returned. ... At that time, I decided to keep working with it and a Sharpie to assist with closure, figuring it would eventually break in and become usable. Alas, after several thousand opening and closing cycles, and thorough lubrication with St. Claire nano oil, it is still as stiff as a young groom's favorite appendage on his honeymoon. ... Now that Cold Steel is under new ownership, I am really reticent to ship it in for repair. Modding it voids the warranty. It may just be a safe queen now. ... Needless to say, I will never again purchase a knife with a Tri-Ad lock. Others love them and have had no problems with them. But if they don't work as designed, you're in possession of a nearly worthless tool. ... One bitten, twice shy.
Clever Girl, as the Raptor eats your face off. Don't know what is scarier, Raptor or giant Silver Back Gorilla. Both are stronger, faster, and angrier than me.
i wouldn't compare crkt to kizer there is a vast gap in quality there from my experience with both brands. I like crkt designs but their lack of quality generally keeps me away from anything they would try to charge 160 dollars for regardless of how good the lock is. cold steel exists for that ya know. also most decent crkt are from makers that are well known. vox, anso, burnley etc. i give more credit for quality to kershaw and they are very similar. as far as most of their manufacturing goes
Overpriced in my opinion. Crkt thinks having a good lock should cost more then materials. People can say what they want about coldsteel. But coldsteel put their lock on every price range. I don't think D2 is worth $160 I think it's a $60 knife at best.
Jesus christ. Do you actually think when you pay $350 for a Reate in m390 that there is $350 of steel and titanium there? You don't give 80% of a knifes price to the materials alone, man. How does it feel? How's the lock interface? Any gaps? Edge uniform? How's the pocket clip? Should that same Reate come out in d2 for $30?
@@mackhomie6 wouldn't buy reate. They do nothing for me. Most are just pocket jewelry or collectors pieces. Still don't explain how sharp metal costs more then a gun. A gun has heat treatment and machine work also file and fit. Yet knives cost in some cases much more.

First I would say that you may want to change the title of your review because the clever girl is a fixed blade this is the clever girl folder so it should be set apart. Second I find this to be one of the most uncomfortable folding knives that I have ever held it is not anywhere near the quality or comfort that I wouldn't expect from a knife that's $160 no matter where you happen to buy it. I think that this was a flub on CRKT's part and they need to be better
It's technically called "The Clever Girl Deadbolt". The fixed blade version is just called "The Clever Girl". Currently, the folder version is going for $120-$140. They lowered the price a bit. Once it hits $100 I will buy one.
I admit that I do find some of CRKT knives moderately interesting in a design sense but lacking in quality materials & construction. I do own the CRKT CEO as it's a proper gentleman's knife for those occasions when such a thing is needed or appropriate to the situation. (ie: James Bond tux & a martini, shaken not stirred) As for this one; the Clever Girl is certainly a big boy. I think I'll stick to my Cold Steel Recon 1, American Lawman, Code 4, Spyderco Para 2 & Manix 2 with G-10 scales. Me thinks they are most likely superior in every way & similar in size but far better in function. Thanks for the review. I always look forward to your take on knives I have yet to know about or hesitant to purchase. I'll likely give this one a pass. Cheers from Canada.
I like a lot of CRKT's designs, but their materials and build quality often does not match their pricing. D2 seems like a bad choice for this knife. I think it is a bit too brittle for how large and slim it is. Rust resistance isn't great either.

@@bbaker3510 they can't afford to put better steel on them. Cause people still won't buy them because they would lack on the heat treatment. Remember this is an advertising company. They would say m390 on paper but performance in reality would be poor. They really don't know much about making a good tool that's properly made. So they stick with budget hipster junk cause that's what they do best, trick people into buying really cheap junk for way higher prices than they should be sold for.

@@tacticalcenter8658 I hadn't heard about the heat treatment issue, but that makes sense to me with the market segment they are choosing to cater to. They could be such an amazing company if they just upped their quality, such a shame
@@bbaker3510 they don't make anything. They license design and outsource to lowest bidder. The factories they are using ie the lowest bidder is often I'll equipped to do anything good, especially at the cost crkt is having them make the knives at.
This knife sucks. The feel in person is much worse than it looks. The flipping action is horrendous. The deadbolt isn't actually that easy to mess with, has lockstick, and is clumsy. Overall the fit and finish of the knife is like a 20$ knife instead of a $160 knife.
Interesting design. But yeah, CRKT just has a pricing problem. It's ridiculous what money they try to get for the level of steels they offer. American company, made in... CHINA. Please price accordingly. 🙄

"to you". that's the point.
@@LXT43 ahhh good point,fair comment.I'm just used to spyderco kinda stuff i suppose

@@cal1776 Belive Sir and it will happen.
Nope. Really don't like trailing point blades.
an acquired taste to be sure
Interesting design. But yeah, CRKT just has a pricing problem. It's ridiculous what money they try to get for the level of steels they offer. American company, made in... CHINA. Please price accordingly. 🙄
$160 ? Made in Taiwan ? No Thanks !
Your knives are allways so dirty and dusty, why? They deserves to be treated like you treat a god tool, good!
In the book the Game Warden Muldoon survived and prevailed over the Park nasties, proving once again what an effete childmolesting overbearing prick Speilberg was to have Crichton change that in the screen play.
