That looks really cool, I like those Katsu knives you showed seems like a good value.

Great video. It reminds me of the Twosun TS205 which is a beautiful knife with fantastic action, but a danger to carry in pocket for the same reason.

Good video I've always wondered about these I've been seeing these on Amazon or ones like them and always wondered but not enough to actually look up a video on them but since it's on your channel I'll watch it anyways. also I never carry anything in my knife pocket either, only my knife 🤘

Thanks a ton for this review I went back and forth for about 2 weeks and finally went with the Katsu it is such an awesome night I don't really believe I've owned a better pocket knife and just my opinion that includes them all Spyderco Kershaw Benchmade you have it

I saw one with a solid pocket clip before I ordered mine. I thought the pictures in the review may have been older. Anyway. Wondering how strong it seems to be. I've had bad luck with those wire type bending the first time you snag them. But thanks for the heads up about the blade. I'll re-profile the edge ( remove a heavy 1/16 if an inch on it as to not risk cutting myself. Thanks for the review.

I’ve seen a green bamboo handle version of this knife from Amazon as well. As much as I want the tried and true original Higonokami knife, the implementation of a liner lock was enticing

H HAVE THAT one, by katsu , you can't cut yourself when it is closed. it comes shave sharp . it s pretty cool

Those Katsu knives are cheaper on Amazon now if anyone is wondering. I just got the Carbon fiber one Neeves is showing and dude it is SWEET, and razor sharp!

Thank you very much for that. I am very OCD about those little details and I’ve always said “I’d have no luck at all in my life if it wasn’t for the bad luck” and designs like that right there my luck would 100% find and ruin my day 😂😂😂

I got the zdp higonokami version and its my new favorite knife. The steel is super sharp and holds the edge forever, the carbon fiber looks great, and the pivot has to be one of the best ive tried(way better than my benchmades, zt, and spidercos). The only thing i dont like is the clip and the blade has a pretty long skinny point and i dont think itd be hard to snap it off. Ive never had a problem with cutting my finger when closed but its a different blade shape. Would recommend. It holds up just as good as my other 200$ knifes

I've always been a fan of Japanese samurai style designs they just look awesome

Classic Japanese design, very nice.

Shame, cool looking knife though! I love how tall the flipper is. My wife wants to learn a front flipper and figured that tallness would help. I’ll keep looking. Appreciate you being thorough and honest. 💪🏽

In my experience Japanese front flippers take a bit more practice to learn than modern front flipping

Thanks for the heads up on this knife, it is otherwise pretty nice.

I have that same katsu but the cf on mine doesn't have that wet polished look like yours. Did you do something to shine it up?...great video btw

Any tips or easy ways to sharpen the convex grind on the katsu? Never had one before, or would it be worth doing a regrind at 17-18 degree on my worksharp?

Hope you review the Sakura from this company. It looks cool, but I need an opinion for somebody before I commit to a beater for the summer.

It certainly is a cool looking knife. And for that price i think we can deal with the problem it has.

I just got this knife (although I have a drop point version) and I don't know if it's just this blade shape version or if they fixed it, but I can't touch the edge on mine.

That tanto blade is so clean is nice.. why on earth can we not get those anymore in premium knives?

Been wanting to get a new front flipper, might after order one. If there's a problem with it... I will definitely give it a good sharpening. Thanks for sharing brother. 👍🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸✌️ Cheers 🍻

No fear, or from the Southerner in me ~ Ain't skeered. I'll probably get one.

Fortunately, I don't keep anything else in my knife pocket so I'll always be grabbing from the butt of the knife. I don't ever worry about edges cutting my hands.

The original CRKT CEO had the same problem, I've injured myself pretty nicely all along my index finger once. Stopped CRKT knives after that actually.

Just like to point out that it’s half the price. So is it worth $45.00?

Love that

Oh please can I love this?? :(

I've EDC'd this for like, a year, in the same pocket as my phone. It's a helluva knife. Never had an issue until I watched this video and intentionally tried to make blade contact to see if I could. I did receive a very thin cut I did not feel when I purposely stuck my fingertip in and dragged. I do not think the likelihood of this happening on accident is particularly high. Edit: But it's still good to be aware of.

Bummer cool knife but I don't need anymore scars on my fingers

These really looks cool and seem well made, but I'm having trouble getting behind a "Japanese knife made in China". I have many Chinese knives that I like very much, but it's the idea that they're sold as Japanese knives and not made in Japan. The Amazon listings don't make that very clear.

Japan can't legally make knives like this in Japan.

I really can't stand front flippers. I just want to pull it from my pocket, use my thumb to flip it open without having to reach all the way up to the top, or reach all the way around to use my index finger. I know a lot of people like them, I just find them really awkward to use.

Good video brother 👍

This kind of design flaw that you exposed Jerad is unfortunately a deal breaker for me - safety first, no matter what. Aaand it's a front flipper...so...Still, a very good, honest review.

ya. . . b.s. When you have to try that hard, it's a non-starter argument

They must have fixed it because i have one and there is no way i can get my finger in there. Seems really safe actually.

Looks cool along with decent fit and finish, it's a shame where one little oversight makes an otherwise great knife into a very dangerous purchase. To bad because I think many people would have enjoyed this knife. Personally I'm not big on front flipper only knives (just a personal preference) but the contoured handles and blade shape kind of spoke to me along with having a clip. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.

For once we lefties win! When I carry it in my left pocket the edge points away.
