PMP Knives Alpha Beast proto - the knife you use to cut other knives in half

Ойын-сауық

The PMP Knives Alpha Beast prototype: Yes, it’s ridiculous. Yes, it’s insanely over the top. BUT it holds a couple of surprises that honestly… lesser “overbuilt” knives can’t usually compete with. While it’s definitely one of those conversation starter knives, and likely not very practical for anyone… it’s definitely worth owning if you want something radical and cool. Just have realistic expectations for its performance based on the crazy-thick blade.

    Thicker than a Snicker and completely impractical. I love it! And if you're traveling, you can put it in front of your hotel door to keep people from breaking in!

    Usually when they do make the screws bigger they leave the thread and sexbolt the same size so you're screw will shear just as easy, usually making the head of the screws bigger doesn't do much other than looks , then there is some with finer thread and thicker, durable but since they look the same from a average knife dudes perspective they usually don't care to put them in unless they are really trying to hit all the boxes

    @@budsblades7211 I think the most durable pivot system is probably the bushing style they use with high quality balisongs basically you can make it to where when u crank the screw down your washers will hold about .00005 away from your blade making your blade rock solid and not leaving any room for the blade to play, most bushings sit in a 1/4 hole in the blade, I've had my brs replicant for about 4 years and having it literally hit concrete and get abused more than anything I think most knife guys will ever do to a 400$ knife , had to repofile the blade and sand the chips out of the g10 but the bushing pivot system is rock solid, stupid good blade centering and it feels smother than when I got it because it's broken in well
