This version is really nice- love the red. -- I've got a carbon fiber/N690 Luna, as well as one like this except with jade/'natural' g10 handles & D2. I'd get a micarta/s35vn version but I don't have the $ yet... ---- Take care- good review!

I have several D2 knives they are very sharp and stay sharp for a long time if you don't cut up 10 large boxes each day.I have the Luna with a black handle but i payed 39 euros.I still think this a good price.The deep pocket clip is excellent.

Hiya Hyde, hope you're well. 100% agree here buddy. I think for the price this is a cracking package. Money has been tight this year for a lot of people and having a knife that's well made, great steel and still comes in at a great price, this is a no brainer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great week buddy 👍

Real Steel Luna is a good knife, no question. I bought the brown micarta S35VN version a week before Heinnie brought this one out from nowhere at a quarter of the price, so I'm not feeling very clever! (I'd define D2 as a 'stainless' steel myself. Strictly speaking, all steels are carbon steels, otherwise they'd be iron! It's just the amount of added carbon and (more specifically) the other added ingredients which determine how 'stainless' (i.e. corrosion resistant) a steel is. D2 has 11.5% chromium, and I believe there's a standard that says stainless steels should contain a minimum of 12% chromium. Also, D2 has a bit more carbon than average at 1.5%, but I can't see such a popular quality general purpose tool steel being non-stainless! That's my understanding anyway. I've got a Maserin Scout in D2 and several Ganzos in D2 and that certainly perform as a stainless steel, whereas the blades on my Opinel Carbone models and GEC 1095 carbon steel knives turn grey if they spot a piece of fruit at twenty paces...)

Got the ECO version with a alloy shell, frame lock and a removable thumb push for 38€. Great knife.

I have this version, the Titanium version and the Carbon Fibre version and they're all excellent.

How stiff would you say the CF version is? I worry it might allow the pivot to flex or something if you were chopping bits of wood of something?

Because i bought the Maserin Scout also with D2 steel a couple of months ago (49 euros or 40 pounds) I think i'll skip this knife, but the Luna is great value for money.

Got one coming, really excited for it. I lusted after the Luna ever since it was announced in the more expensive variants - this version in red was something I just could not pass up. Cheers mate!

The knife is well worth the money. The only foreseeable problem i have found is the pocket clip. Its spring steel, but not the best. If you open it too much it WILL bend and stay open. It is also riveted on, which i was disappointed with as i wanted to make a sheath for it with a lanyard. Still......worth buying one

Best knife for EDC? Wooow, that's hard. I can only really vouch for knives I've owned or used (it's only fair that way). I'd probably say in my experience I'd go for the Civivi Elementum. Great steel, value for money and just an amazing action when you open it. There's definitely better knives out there for steel, ergonomics etc however the Elementum ticks lots of boxes.

I was told it was the thrusting length, so tip to guard when measuring legal length, but I guess your method would almost always be less than that.

@MoorlanderEDC

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Anthony. Yes, I thought the same. I check the regs and it's the cutting edge specifically, so you have to measure the length of the bend around the belly of the cutting edge rather than a measurement along the spine from the tip to the cutting edge notch. I think most officers will use the spine as the rule of thumb though. It's easier to measure quickly, however if the officer really wanted to be a stickler for the exact law, he or she would measure the actually cutting edge. There's definitely things I've bought that say UK friendly, however the measurement has been done wrong. It's very easy to fix if you add your own Spanish notch. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy. have a cracking week

Hiya Anthony. It's on the main .gov site here www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives They talk about the cutting edge. I've checked with a few other sources too - My local police station and quite a few knife forums as well. I'll try and see if I can find the article I read when it talked about the governments decision to restrict blade length and they used the cutting edge rather than the tip to notch if it was measured down the spine. You're 100% right though it's can be a bit vague. Hope this helps buddy
