Knife sounds are important too

I've abandoned any notion that knives are mainly tools in my life. They're gadgets. Toys that bring out the same enthusiasm as things you would get as a child that happen to also be useful tools. This is a great example of that. It's gadgety. It is fidget friendly. It's pure fun and I enjoy that side of the knife world.

A pocket knife is an essential tool. Mainly used to cut open boxes of new pocket knives

A few months ago I decided I needed a pocket knife. You know, the kind my grandpa carried. Slip joint, mother of pearl handle, hopefully under $30. I stumbled on one of these knife review videos and after watching you guys fidget with flippers and thumb stubs and button locks and etc. I caught the bug. Now I’m lusting after a $375 work of art/genius. So thanks for that. 🥴

Great knife video! I'm going to comment about something not about the knife: your self awareness is what I respect most about you. You know and understand both your own biases and privileges. Came for the knife disassembly, stayed for the commentary.

I love the sound it makes when you flip the blade out

It will be the most expensive knife I have ever bought. I have been saving money for a few months now, for the sole purpose of getting a WinterbladeCo FACTOR. I love this knife. The sound, the friggin *magnets,* I love everything about it. It shall be mine. Queue the evil laughter.

Nicolás... brilliant design, brilliant review. Hope I'm able to catch one, I'm really excited about the whole concept since you first featured them sometime ago. Bravo 👏

Some of your most emotive commentary in a while... it felt like less of a review than a "Oh my God, come check out what I have here!" I have a hard & fast rule about money for knives, but this thing is so nutty and new and cool (magnets!) and it has that insane "TING!" when you deploy it that I'm seriously contemplating getting in deep trouble with my wallet... Nice review, Nick!

Such a cool opening mechanism, I love innovations like this! I wouldn't be able to stop opening and closing it.

Great to see you doing reviews. You will always be the best.

WOWZERS!!! Just freakin’ cool all around!! Especially the acoustics!! I hope this is at Blade Show!! Thanks Nick!!

It caused my pacemaker to fail but it's so cool!

its seldom i get so excited about a knife recently. and this gives me that feeling again

You are the most entertaining and informative EDC type KZread account on this site.

So cool, the sound is what really sells it for me. I hope they someday come out with the same design with cheaper materials, maybe G-10 scales and S30V. I think that would bring it to a better price point for a lot of people who love the design but not the cost. Similar idea with the CRKT Provoke, after changing out some of the materials to make a substantially cheaper version, its unique design was way more accessible for a lot of people. Just gotta make sure they never lose that sound! But hey if they cost isn’t a problem then this seems like an awesome collection piece. Thanks for the vid!

This is the first knife I’ve seen in a while that is innovative but not so far out there to be gimmicky. I haven’t added to my collection in about a year but this one really does it for me.

Terrific review. Many thanks. Fantastic hnife for sure!👍👍👍🥳

That's got a very satisfying sound. Looks like a cool knife

That's a very interesting blade design, I think it would look awesome all blacked out with the tritium bar and maybe tritium in the pivot. Thanks for the video Nick!

A great, exciting review of a very cool new knife. Good one Nick👍 I can't afford one right now, but am very interested to see where the knife world will go with these new tech concepts. One can only patent so much. I hope he reaps ample rewards for all of his creative work.

Awesome unique design! Hats off to Winterblade!

Appreciate your comments at 15:10, it's an important consideration for a lot of folks

Yes, I will be purchasing one of these quirky gorgeous knives. I love that TING.

I love the unique style of this knife!!! Sadly the work I do the magnet would be a problem due to metal shards but outstanding🦉 work!

That sound is awesome, reminds me of anime swords. It also has a somewhat of a western boot spur sound too! I love it and want one!!

It maybe the magnets but I'm feeling the pull towards that knife! Nick you're a gem 💎 thanks!

This is seriously cool, but will wait in the hope a smaller version is released. That sound is awesome!

Now this knife is interesting. It's the first knife I've seen in about 2 years that I'm dying to have.

Price is fine. Cool knife. Would love to pick one up..... Ugh, just Preordered from batch 2.... Something to look forward to next year!

That's cool. Love the magnets.

@Nick Thank you for another great review - really enjoyed this one! One question... would you prefer the knife without the trigger mechanism? Do you plan to use that CF insert/filler?

Cool idea and I love the use of magnets...but wow that handle shape looks horrific in the hand comfort category

I want to add one to my collection just for the sound. That’s such a satisfying noise

The deploy bar can flip back out of the knife. Is this good? You can use it as a belt cutter? Or bad, it exposes the blade or can be broken off. Or ugly? Seems like eventually he could turn it into a useful feature but currently a question mark. Love the noise when deployed

Looks really exciting.

It sounds AMAZING!

I love that "ting" noise!

I think the resonance is one of the best parts. I have bought a tack hammer just because it rings like a bell.

Cant wait for this preorder

The way that it flicks open is just like the PING sound of A Garand Rifle..!✌️❤️🇵🇭

I absolutely love the style and unique mechanism on this knife, but as a mechanic who works in a shop, and having experience with magnets on pens and flashlights, they tend to attract every single miniscule atomized piece of metal or shaving that is bound to be present in any shop lol and having all those metal particles and shavings being attracted and stuck to magnets upon which the action and mechanism depend is the part that really worries me. it can be a pain in the butt to clean that metal off of magnetized areas that are out in the open, let alone between the knife scales or the parts that actuate/disengage the blade. I just see an awful lot of disassembly and cleaning being required for this knife to operate smoothly, specially for any blue collar type workers who may be frequently exposed to metal particles and shavings or any shop environment. tho I'm still seriously tempted to try and get one and just resolve it to only night/weekend carry cause man this knife is so cool. I love the idea of operating by magnetism and developing a locking mechanism that works as such, but kmow how much of a double edged sword that can really be

I'm pretty sure *Magnetic Ninja* will be my next youtube pseudonym.

Ooooh that “ping”. Love it

I love it! I don't usually buy knives over 200 bucks but this will be hard to pass even at 375. If it was like 10% bigger I doubt I would be able to resist even at 400.

Are the magnets stronger enough to stick it to the fridge?

That ping sound got a smile out of me as soon as I heard it

That’s cool but I have concerns about the longevity of those little magnets, when you slide metal over those little magnets you eventually wear though the silver coating. Do you know if they can easily be replaced?

Man I think I'm spending $375. That "ting" sound alone is worth it.

How satisfying is the sound when that knife opens....

Would love to get one of these

if I carry my cell phone in on pocket and the knife in the other; are the magnets strong enough to interfere with the cell?

I never thought about the whole “automatic knife” thing. It never occurred to me that this could be considered automatic, but now that you mention it, it is most definitely not fully manual. Interesting to think about.

@gummybeargunner872

2 жыл бұрын

It very much depends on how your local law is written. Since you are imparting the mechanical force necessary to open the blade via a flipper tab instead of the spring assist of a normal assisted knife it is very possible that this would not be considered an automatic in many jurisdictions. Just to be clear the magnets are holding the blade in place and you are overcoming that hold force via the flipper tab, the magnets are not assisting in the opening of the blade at all. Again talk to a lawyer if you have any questions or concerns about carrying it.

Holy hell thankyou for explainig it's magic. i watched all of MC's videos on it and i don't ever remember seeing that. (full disclosure he may have shown it, and I'm just dumb)

That 'ting' is a perfect A. I want to see an orchestra tune their instruments to its glorious sound. Lol!

The sound of that action is the stuff of movies!

I want one even if I'd be afraid to carry it in case it gets thought of as a switchblade. Would be a fun at home knife.

That sound is amazing

I’ve learned from carrying an Olight at work that magnets and metal dust/filings don’t play well together.I still want one lol. The sound it makes when deployed is reminiscent of 70s king fu flicks😉

Never thought I’d come across a pocket knife with a “glow stick option” haha. I could listen to that deployment sound all day.

I caught that farther/further. Good save 👍

I wish the blade was longer. Other than that, kudos for the innovation. I think the folding knife market desperately needs some more of it.

I agree, with today’s technology and engineering, there should be a lot more stuff like this in the knife world. The popularity of the Demko shark lock is huge, and it’s not even that complex of a design, but it was just a little different and innovative. I hope this is the start of more knife innovations to come

I‘m in love with this knife. Do you know if there will be a lower cost version of this knife? All my knifes are user’s. But on this price point I think I would start thinking of using this knife for cutting this or that. Like to hear. Greets from GER.

I’ve been waiting for this for 2 years but i lost too much money from crypto this year. Damn hilarious. I’m on a self imposed EDC embargo for the rest of the year. But i will buy this next year. I really like this designer. He’s always testing things and innovating. One of my favorite if not favorite designer by engineering aspect. The sound alone is worth the price of admission. Great review as always Nick/ Edit:forget how good a reviewer you are. You did pick up on some cons that i would have missed. Yeah i wonder about the legal thing although i would that not stop me.

Hey Nick, at first glance I thought, "WOW, cool, magnets!" But, I do remember your criticisms of the Kizer Sheepdog (both mini and regular), mainly the pocket volume of a sheepsfoot style pocket knife. Has your opinion changed?. Also Kizer has released another version without the "pocket pecker" With thumb hole opening and no flipper tab to get in the way of the blade, would you consider taking another look at the Sheepdogs?

So I missed out on Batch 1 as it claimed "shipping not available in your area", which is nonsense--- No matter, I got a Batch 2 in Grey w/ Green accents. Not bad.

Yes very true, as does any type of aggressive metal polish, dipping magnets in Tarn X ate away the outer layers of nickel in a $300 "mod" (e-cig) the "Mutant" with 26650 Li-ion batteries Also dropping or extreme "cold" is not recommended Nickel FYI is allowed w steel to create great edge hardness however it's very brittle as a result... They will shatter if trying to replace or remove them and these aren't Home Depot $8 for #20 pkg...these are "true" Neo magnets

Looks good 👍

I wonder if it had titanium scales it would FEEL a little lighter? Maybe carbon fiber?

The blade rubs on one of the magnets ?

What size of tritium can you put in it?

I feel this knife might change the industry. We have gone from tool, to fidget, to art knife. I really feel the sound may be something marketed in the future. I hope so.

pretty cool. Gonna be hard to get one. hope the price doesnt skyrocket. Not sure I would actually like to have one, but 100 bucks more would send the option right out the window. Very cool though.

It looks like the posts that help center the blade are marking the blade?! Am I wrong? Noticeably on the show side.

May 24th I'm getting one of the batch 3's

That's a beautiful knife.

God that "ting" is amazing. Reminds me of the m1 garand. Only way to make this knife better. Offer different blade shape, color ti and something other than carbon fiber.
