Of course! I’m honored that you’d trust me to be one of the fortunate folks to have the opportunity to check out the prototype! I’m on team Orion for sure!

So happy for David and so looking forward to the success of the Solaris!! Great review and good to hear you again my friend!

I love the knife, and the book choices. 👍

That was a great video. Not only did justice to the knife but to David as well. Figured you were taking a break. I saw limited instagram because it started overwhelming me. I would get a post 8 or more times about same thing. Glad you decided to do this. Know things are busy for you. Hope the family is doing well and all the work regulations aren't driving you to crazy. Prayers as always take care of you and your family. Stay safe and hope everyone stays healthy.

Hey Jeremy! So good to hear from you man! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video, I think the knife will go over well - it just surpassed 50% of the goal after less than a week so things are looking good. The family is doing great by the way, thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you.

Nice to hear from you Sean. I wish David the best with this, great to see him take it to the next step.

It is good to see you back. I take frequent breaks from the internet and I am not even a content creator. Just do what you need to do. It is exciting to see this product finally launch. I also really like the company and knife name. I tried to offer David some name suggestions but the only one that came to mind was Corona. I think it is way to soon for that one lol.

This is my first experience with a Kickstarter campaign and I really hope it meets the $25k goal. I'd hate to see this deal fall through. The knife I have ordered is the very same as you described you're getting for yourself. Do I wish that delivery would be sooner than February of next year? Well of course I do but, good things come to those who wait. And I think this is something worth waiting for.

Interesting knife for sure. Those bearings really make the action smooth. With such easy action, I’d probably prefer it not have a flipper tab. Would still have the thumb studs and button lock opening, but would give the knife a smoother look and feel. Just my two cents. But a great knife for sure.

@GearedTowardGear1

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the action is stupid smooth. It gives you plenty of options for deployment that’s for sure. If you really wanted to you could have your son “delete” the flipper tab for you!

Hey GTG, do you know where the manufacture/assembly of these knives will take place? It's a great-looking knife.

@GearedTowardGear1

4 жыл бұрын

Hey there, thanks for watching! It’ll be manufactured by QSP Knives in China. I know David looked for a US OEM manufacturer for a while but none of them were accepting new design manufacturing & the price would go up of course. I know it’s something that will be explored more in the future. 👍

I can understand that, and I think it might be an option to add. Just with shipping issues as of late and looking at cost I didn't know if international folks would be willing to pay a $20-30 premium for shipping as priority internation shipping from USPS is about $30-40. Please let me know your thoughts.
