The Foxtrott Two is aimed at the German market, that's why it doesn't come with an opening device. The Foxtrott One, however, has a thumb disc for one-hand opening.

I like the idea of adjusting the tension of the pivot screw with a coin!

Thanks for letting me know that my review was helpful to you. As for the Pry-Mate, I'm sorry, I don't see me getting one in the near future.

This collaboration knife remind me an another collaboration between Strider and Terzuola. Thank you for constantly introduce knives, especially non-US knives.

I love seeing a new one of your videos when i log into youtube in the morning!

Wow! Stefan you continue to raise the bar here with your reviews. Amazing knife and excellent video. Pohl Force's offerings look exceptional and I think you did the Foxtrott Two great justice here.

That is a really large knife! Another interesting design from Mr. Pohl and great execution from LionSteel, lets not forget of the great review from you sir. Thanks for the video and take care!

Looks like a good blade, great to see another European knife I'd never heard of. Thanks Stefan.

Yes, it's legal because it is a two-hand opening knfie. There's also the Foxtrott One which is basically the same as the Foxtrott Two but comes with a thumb disc as opening device.

Hello Stephan, I'm late to the party on this particular video. However as a long term (3-4) years user of Pohl Force EOD blades for military duty use I can certainly attest to their outstanding ergonomic design and excellent build quality. Overall an excellent video providing those new to Pohl Force blades a solid frame of reference. Keep up the great work! All the best from the UK. Cheers! 👍🏼🍻

As a machinist and instructor, I would love to see the processes to mill out the G10/titanium on this knife. I love the fact that adjusting the pivot screw doesn't require a special tool. Good looking versatile knife. Great review!

Stephan, this was a great review , informative and with humor! I will make a point of watching more reviews on your channel !

Two thumbs up yet again for another great review, it was good to see some cutting work, and how well the blade performed in its different grip options :)

That sounds really good to me, looks like im gonna buy a Pohl Force Foxtrott One Outdoor this spring :)

Hi JPC .. just wanted to let you know there is now an official USA distributor for Pohl Force - Pohl Force USA. The Foxtrot ONE is available in the USA; this knife has the same specifications as the Foxtrot Two which Stephan so well described in his review. The Foxtrot One comes with a thumb wheel allowing for one handed opening .

Excellent, detailed review. Thank you. Ken

I love this knife and while its price is in the higher end, I agree that it is still a good value when everything is considered. Compared to similarly priced knives you might even say it's a steal. Thanks for the review Stefan! Great to see more exposure of this unique knife!

I just now discovered your channel and I'm glad I did. really good video and damn - the knife is something else.

Thanks for another great review, Stefan!

Thank you, Mark! No, I'm sorry. I would probably repeat myself because the Kilo One is basically the fixed blade version of the Foxtrott.

Thank you!

Another great review Stefan. The knife is a bit different to your usual styles, but it is very impressive and I think you demonstrated its capabilities to great effect.

Very reasonable! But if I hadn't addressed this question in the video, there would be at least 20 people now asking if you can baton with the knife.

Good review, Stefan. I enjoy watching your reviews, and seeing knives that are typically made outside of the United States, primarily in Europe and Japan. I like the look of the knife. Very interesting blade shape, looks very similar to a bread kitchen knife. Definitely dig the pattern on the G-10 scales and the wire clip, like you see on some Spyderco models. Nice thumb ramp and additional thumb ramp on the spine for Saber and Filipino grips, I'm sure it gives excellent control when cutting.

Good review and the knife (Pohl Force, impressive as always!) is an interesting addition to the SSP :-) one remark: you can tie the lanyard through the pivot and lanyard hole and that way have a construction that keeps the knife to you hand, try it, I do it with my Alpha.

Very good rewev finally I have this knife,wonderfull...🔪😅

A lovely review! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am a little confused by the mission statement of this knife. I tend to use fixed blades for most things outdoor, past food preparation and whittling. But it is a lovely knife that seems very well designed.

At nearly $400 USD, that is far from a cheap folding blade. But the price is not out of line with other highly engineered folders of similar make. Also, thanks for sharing your findings on the design of the knife. The hand positions alone make that a very desirable model! Lastly, some humor (from an American perspective): On the Foxtrot 2's product page, Google translates "Die Scheidensysteme" as "The vaginal systems." Yes, sheaths! Come on google! :)

Another great review. I really like the design of that knife. If they made it a little smaller with a 3.5 inch blade, it would be perfect for me.

I do like modern, unusual looking knives. For example, I enjoy the Kershaw Echelon very much. I don't like aggressive looking, purely tactical knives.

Vielen vielen Dank, für diese wirklich geile Review!!! Ich habe es gleich mal bei Facebook in die Gruppe Messerfreunde gepostet. Wirklich geil! Kann man nicht anders sagen.

Actually, Pohl Force's Kilo One is the fixed blade version of the Foxtrott - or you could also say the Foxtrott is the folding knife version of the Kilo One. I guess many people like the "coolness factor" (yes, I know, that's also someone else's territory) of heavy-duty folders. And I have to admit, I'm not completely immune to this phenomenon. ;-)

This time I had so much footage, I could have easily done a TNP-style 45 minute review - even without the self-referential and egotistical phrases such as "Me, Stefan Schmalhaus", "We in the Stefan Schmalhaus Project", "My loyal SSPers", etc.

Great knife for a go bag!

das foxtrott two ist wirklich ein tolles messer, da kann ich nur zustimmen. allerdings hab ich mir auch das kilo one gekauft und ich muss sagen, dass mir dies noch ein bisschen besser gefällt.

Tja,heute kann ich es kurz machen! Ich finde das Messer absolut superb...hätte ich mehr Geld....ich würde es sofort kaufen! Und verglichen mit einem Strider erscheint es mir geradezu günstig! ;-) Top Vorstellung mit schönen,herbstlichen Outdoorszenen! LG Stephan

This knife is probably not the right tool for whittling carrots or cutting paper-thin tomato slices but it works well for any other type of food prep. ;-)

As this review shows, you've come a long way from your Lunada hikes, my friend! I would love to see a HC (Hiking Carry) review... it's been a LONG time and your fans demand it! By the way, 14 min review? Ahem... that's someone else's territory. :o) Be well and stay warm... the nights are getting longer and colder!

I really like that knife. I would have assumed it's too modern for your tastes, Stefan. However, great review as always!

Great Review, cant wait for the next. It´s a good looking knife that one! Waiting for a review of a "Fällkniven" folding knife... :-) Keep up the great work!

I would say that the inconsistency of the secondary bevel might very well affect the performance of the knife. Until that is corrected that is... Considering that it is D2..In my experience D2 is very hard to work with. It is easy to keep sharp...but when you have to remove lots of metal...that is quite a chore. I bought a few knives with lop sided edges, but for the price..I think they should go the extra mile. However this seems like a great knife. Is in Germany legal?

Great video brother, really informative and factual. Nice job! I must pinpoint this out: You have a excellent way of explaining, compared to other Anglo-Saxon "experts" here on youtube ... it reminds me a little of Werner Herzog ;) Thanks again brother

Nice knife!

My apologies for the "Typo" Stefan!

Do you recommend this knife for camping and food prep when hiking? The santoku style blade looks awesome for food prep at a camp, I do use santoku blades in my kitchen and love them. I now use a Strider SMF for that but the blade is a bit short for food prep. How do you like this blade for utility tasks?

splendid

There still may be a few among my subscribers. ;-)

Man, would I love a 2 min parody a la what The Urban Prepper did to you. And 14 min is 33% of the way to 45 min, my friend. LOL!

At $350 US... that's a LOT of cool required for purchase! For $350 fixed blade, you can start thinking about a custom knife. Your mileage may vary but, a custom blade is cool regardless. :o)

Please shoot me if I ever start referring to myself in the third person or if I start selling SSP t-shirts. ;-)

Mein lieber Herr Gesangsverein, als ich den Vergleich mit dem Buck 110 gesehen habe, fiel mir ja doch der Kiefer runter. Was für ein Brummer. Das Griffprofil gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, auch weil die Fräsungen sich auf der Titanseite fortsetzen. Bei der Klinge bin ich mir noch unschlüssig, Sheepsfoot sagen mir eher nicht so zu, auch wenn ich bisher noch mit keiner an irgendwas gescheitert bin. Danke für das detailreiche Review.

Nice to see such a fine twohanded folder. Also legal in Denmark ! But where can I buy it ? Not in Denmark I suppose !

It's a cool blade and without a doubt it's very competent. However, the letters "EOD" will for most military personell (and others also I assume) be forever tied with the paragons of manly prowess that are Explosive Ordinance Disposal. Using it for a knife without a connection to them is like naming it "SEAL" for "South East Asian Liner-lock". Excellet video.

***** Do you still have this knife and what do you think of it now? Im thinking about buying one to use as a outdoor knife because im not so in to fixed blades. What do you think of it as a outdoor knife?

jesus this guy loves he's knifes

The only thing I don't dig is the lack of a flipper or thumstud, since it does have a "tactical" look to it. I know that's for a reason- A lot of European countries don't allow the carry of locking folders, or knives with thumbstuds, flippers, or quick deployment methods, like spring assist, switchblade etc. Personally, and this is my two cents, I think that is silly and ridiculous. Switchblades is one thing, but manual folders, spring assist knives, and collectible knives are quite another.

Great vid and great knife! I hope you'll check out the Mike One by Pohl Force I just put up a video on. It's a smaller more edc friendly size at 160 grams. Thanks for making such great vids Stefan!) Danka!)

Great review as always, but I question the value of a folder that really wants to be a fixed blade. As you point out, it's too large for your pocket and by making it a fixed blade you can (a) make it a real chopper and (b) put more of the value into the knife blade and/or lower the cost. The Italian craftsmanship really shone in that 0.6 mm bevel. :o)

Och, und dabei bin ich doch so anfällig für Deine ausführlichen Lobeshymnen. ;-) (Nein, das ist jetzt keine versteckte Aufforderung an Dich, einen mehrteiligen Kommentar nachzuschieben!)

so... it has a lock to lock the lock? :)

Welche Handschuh Größe Hast du?

Ahhh heck. I'd be a TSSPer any day. :P

Such a knife is legal to own in Denmark. You can own it. Have it in your house, work, fishing and hunting. You can buy knifes in Denmark !

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't see that much of a difference to my usual presentation style.

This is a departure from your normal presentation style, Stefan, and I wonder if it is for the better. It seems more like an infomercial, especially given the opening vignette. I understand your interest in, and passion for, knives, but I hope this hasn't been misplaced. In a knife review the two fundamental questions must always be: What is the knife's purpose? Does it serve this purpose? I find no satisfactory answer to these questions regarding this tool and sense you circumvented them.

Das ist vielleicht ein tolles EDC Messer... joking. :) Allerdings im Rucksack beim Campen oder Hiking... auf jeden Fall!

I knew it !!!! take care mate. le coutgoraphe

I'm sold. Now just to find one, U.S. dealer is out of stock.

Thank you very much! - The sticker is not my style at all. ;-)

Not the knife for me, but a good review. Thank you.

Pohl Force knives eat Striders for breakfast. ;-)

Hello. Why you don't speak about the teflon washers. I find it unworthy of a knife manufacturer, like Lion Steel. I don't know a Cutlers artisans that use this type of washers.

Sorry to disappoint you. But I don't even have a sister who could manage the comments and ban the non-believers. ;-)

LOL
