I use and collect folding knives for different reasons. I watch knife videos for entertainment🙌
My observation is that the folding knife community is mainly divided into two type of hobby camps. Soft use and hard use.
The soft users want as small and as light as possible pocketknives that can cut paper and apples for 20 years without sharpening:

The hard users they want big beefy blades that just fit in the pocket and have a similar functionality like fixed blade knives. Their wish is that the folding knife can do more tasks a knife could possibily be used for:

As a representative of the second group I decided to do a hard use test video just for fun. I never did a video before but why not. If I m in the mood I do another one.
I want to show content that is spontaneous and authentic.
Other than that I use this channel especially to follow other knife related channels to get entertainment and information about new knives👏👏🙏

I had the same problem. Blade gets stuck on the the stop pin. I had to send it back to Demko and they fixed it perfect! They have awesome customer service.
@@bunker2555 Thanks🙏. I believe you but Im in Switzerland and bought it at lamnia so sending back for service is kinda complex. Maybe they would pay for shipping and such but its maybe to mutch effort to expect that. I did put some oil at that locking part and it seems to work now. I know its not optimal putting oil directly at the lock but for this design I dont worry about failure.
Pretty smart! Idk how I came across you but keep it up!
Thank you🙏 Very kind of you. Well Im just fooling around a bit. No rocket science just some basic immitation. I just saw there are some acoustic sessions or live performances where you can see the hands of the musicians pretty well and which are almost unplugged. Like this one for example. You can see the hands and remember the positions of the piano player well enough. After you could learn the song in maybe an hour pretty well even without knowing anything about the Piano. But Im often already happy when I know what I would have to do since there are so many things you could do or learn. Basically you put your fingers down until it makes the same sound. Obviously I would have to practice more so it sounds more exact and so that I dont have to think about where to put the fingers. Maybe an hour or two of practice just playing this song on piano would do the trick.
@@hardusehobby Dang! I'll have to keep that in mind!

jak się masz dziękuję
Hello gentlemen, do you still own this knife? I’ve seen they made a “lock” version of it, and old design is gone and unavailable to buy.
Wow
Désolé mais je trouve que cette vidéo démonstration est vraiment très mal faite !! J'adore COLD STEEL, j'en possède 17 ! Mais cette video est comique !!😂😂😂😂
Not understanding your language but you seem to enjoy watching this video a lot considering your emoji usage. Always nice to see a little cesar smile👍
Ich habe ein Alpha 2. Es handelt das Spinewhack test sehr gut auch.
Promo`SM 💐
Of course detent would be a different, because of the different locks, different size & different weight. Always compare with same lock, weight, size & blade thickness on the similar knives. Good collection, thanks for sharing.
Dude I have a question about Scavenger flipper & Alpha - Bottom lock. How can you rate them from 1 to 10..? I want to know about the auction, sharpness, & feeling of the knives. Will you recommend any of those who wants to buy.? Are there any better than Medford knives.? Thank you.😊
Good day! I think only Medford better this knife!! Respect for you!
I don't think I've ever seen a axis style lock with a good detent feel. I think hole deployment for a reverse flick is best for cross bar locks. I definitely like the ring from full deployment and looks like a good hard use knife.
Yeah maybe its always like that. Also there are not many crossbar lock knives with a flipper tab. I saw some reviews about the new Microtech Ram lock (also some type of crossbar style lock) and even they seem to have a softer detend as well. Its just because its André de Villiers. If one can do the trick then maybe him. Gonna definitely get another one some time later to see if he can improve on it like he always does. Also its more a preference thing. It seems to function very well and reliable if one knows and got used to it.
am planning to get one but was kinda uncertain, now not anymore. Nice review bro, thanks!
Sanks for your test video. I really like ze knife and it's very good for ze preis.
Gerne, dito👍
Would you recommend this to anyone? How did the handle feel? Was it feeling strong and ridged? Or, did it feel weak and flexible?
Of course there are better options out there. Still I was kinda surprised of the durability. Obviously my test is limited by the time it took and by the force I was willing and able to generate. Also it wasnt that good to grip it to generate force. That might have lowered the impact. It felt pretty cheap so I expected it to fail but it did hold up way better then expected. Maybe a long term test would show different results. I didnt hard use it since then because there are better options out there for a user knife. It seems like the secondary lock does pretty good in preventing failure of the standard liner under abusive use at least for some time. The liner and the hole construction is a bit bendy so it doesnt break. The tanto blade might not be my nr1 choice for all around tasks. Also a thick blade should maybe be wider for better slicing.
Nicely done
Thanks for the test. I was worried about the locking mechanism but it seems that it would have no problem with everyday use.
Pytanie czemu mają służyć tego typu testy? szkoda dobrego noża na takie niszczenie .
Yea its a bit wasteful of course. Also buying pocket knives is luxury and wasteful. These tests are to see what a "good" knife can withstand and for entertainement. We dont dont really need a knife in modern life so its a hobby.
Do rąbania drewna to raczej maczeta i siekierka lepiej się sprawdzą.
True. Maybe a chainsaw is even better or a helicopter with a saw on it🤷🏻♂️
If you decide to sell your Black Talon...
i love this san mai black talon
Holy shit
Nice!
Your horse came to see what’s up !
Yea😂
Cold steel makes the best low priced knives lol thing took an ass whooping

Just got one of these and was unsure about the durability of the handle before seeing your video. Thanks dude.
You are welcome🖐
For an inexpensive knife it did great! I’m not sure my Benchmade Grizzly Ridge would do as well- and I’d be afraid to try!
Hard to tell. I dont own a Benchmade. Some Benchmade knives seem to be very tough. Like the 560 Super Freek 980 Turret or the old Adamas for example. They seem to be pretty successful in the hard use tests out there. But some Benchmades seem to be more average in terms of strengh. A couple of people also reported issues with the reliability of these ring shaped springs of the Axis lock. But from what I have seen most of the Benchmade Knives should be pretty save to use in most scenarios if you dont try to break them. I mean you could definitely try it. Its fun to do a hard use test and if you really wanna know how strong it is and if you can replace the knife its a entertaining thing to try it out. I know its a bit wasteful but some people drink alcohol some people occasionally hit knives for fun right?😉
Inexpensive? It cost 400$, not crazy expensive, but would not call it cheap
Ladies and gentlemen you have just seen a review of the finest folding knife that money can buy whether it is $50 or $500 do not hesitate by a cold steel sr1 light today and never look back your life will never be the same thank you sir for this review and for bringing to light the finest Nate made
👍
This knife is pretty sweet I'm glad I made the purchase probably going to buy another one
Very cool👍. Having multiples of the same knife means you really like it. There is also a version with s35 vn and g10 if you want some slight variation
I needed to adjust the pinon screw it was too tight and knife lock was not engaging. I bought two so it is an issue. But I am an engineer so it was simply fixed. Harduse batons with a folder? Who dares do that with most folders? Compared to other folders its great. My family emigrated from Speir, Germany, in Rhineland, 1700.
Interesting. My family also came from Germany. For the batoning of folding knives I give you a short analogy to understand why people do that sometimes. Imagine a folding knife would be a modern human beeing. A modern human beeing can drive everywhere with a car or an e-bike or bus or these e-scooters that are everywhere. An average modern human often works at the computer sitting in an office all day. So most modern human beeings dont really need muscles anymore. They dont need endurance or reflexes for their tasks. But some of them still like to have these things because we are still animals inside. Some feel these kind of attractions more and some less but its a reality. Every folding knife can do the very limited "nessesairy" tasks of modern humans. But not every folding knife can make human beeings smile. If we would question the necessity of all our modern knife tasks in self critical fashion we would find very quickly that folding knives are not necessairy anymore in our 21th centure. Most people only "need" some simple knife in the kitchen or to cut their meal in pieces at the table. Also many people dont cook themselves anymore and only eat "to go" so thats that. Its not really about the need its more about the hobby. Nice to hear that you could solve your issues with your knife👍
I have the Oyabun limited edition reserved for me. Now I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Nice! I heard the limited feels better quality and It looks very cool with that shiney aluminium bolsters
Thanks to this video, I now own a SR1 Drop point AND Tanto!!! The knife took A LOT of abuse and, it still functions like new... Excellent video! Subscribed too btw!
Happy to hear that you like them. Thanks mate🤜🤛
GREAT video tests! Buying that knife!!! Subscribed...
Thanks mate👍 Its one of my favourites even if its fairly inexpensive. Good for hard word
Woww nice video
Your tests makes me like my knife even more! Great video!!!
Thanks mate!
Is it legal in the EU?
It depends a bit on the country. In some countries its not allowed to own a gravity knife. I think in germany you are not allowed to own it. Germany is pretty hard in terms of knife law. In austria I think every knife is allowed and I think you could generally also carry auto knives or ballisong or gravity knives. I m in Switzerland. In this country most knives are allowed to own and generally also to carry. You are not allowed to have automatic knives or ballisongs in Switzerland but gravity knives are generally not considered to be weapons. But the law is not really precise and the judges have much power of interpretation. So its maybe better to not show a knife in public other then a swiss made knife and you dont see many people carry knives. But in terms of law there is no clear written problem to carry a knife. Its just not normal to see knives at peoples belt here and the police and judges have much power to call something illegal without a legal basis.
This guy should test every knife! JfOH
Thanks mate!
Awesome video and test of Sr1 lite! I have both the lite clip point and tanto blade version and also the clip point S35VN G10 version. They are all great knives. Thank you for doing these testings, this is not abuse, it shows that this knife will not fail when a person is placed in a survival situation and this is the only knife he or she has. Thanks for sharing brother!
Thanks for watching🤜🤛
Thank you for making this video it one of the best of the little out there
Thank you very much🙏
OK.......I bought this knife.....it had a cheap look. After seeing this.....I'm impressed.
I hope you like it. It also feels a bit cheap and is generally made in a cheap way but it seems to be pretty impact resistant to a certain lvl👍
@@hardusehobby Yeah.......I gave it a low score after buying. I do believe for the cost the knife could have been made better. But you certainly beat it and the knife did better than I expected. Good job on the video!
If you want a knife similar to the Cold Steel Oyabun. Try the Ruike Hussar. The quality is great and the price is for the quality is even better.
@@williamzwuck1562 sounds interesting. Ruike Hussar🤔 I might check it out to see if it holds up
@@hardusehobby The Ruike Hussar cost me in US $34.95 + shipping.
A proof that a perfect indestructible knife is still worthless if it carries the world's shittiest cold steel pocket clip. Thanks for a great test and review though :)
Most of the time I do carry my pocket knives 100% in the pocket next to a pack of paper handkerchiefs without using the pocket clip so its not the most important feature for myself. Generally I like deep carry clips and when the pocket clip supports the grip like on the Spyderco Harpy for example🤷🏻♂️
@@hardusehobby I agree. I love CS, but hate it at the same time, cause is just tears and rips each of my new jeans :) Spyderco, Kershaw, Kizer, Steel Will whatever they do the clips right, grippy enough yet easy on your pockets. Harpy is a lovely piece for sure :) Cheers and best wishes for 2022!
@Robert Kattner & Greg Toth: This man just took a pristine $70 knife and was willing to beat the snot out of it, in order FOR YOU to make an informed buying decision. So, instead of complaining that the test was "stupid" or "boring", why dont you appreaciate the fact that he took the bullet for you, say thank you, and give him a like? Spoiled, ungrateful brats!
Thank you for your support🤝. Dont bother about these comments my friend. Its just normal in the internet and expected. So such comments dont bother me at all. I did this test for the knife community but also for my personal pleasure since I m a fan of such tests and like to see the limits of knives. If one or even a couple of people get some entertainment and information the goal of this video is fully achieved👍

Does that still come in Cracker Jax?
Cracker Jax🤔. If you mean the antique shop Cracker Jax DeKalb, Illinois then I guess its not old enough and I dont know if they sell some sort of knife. But if you mean that american popcorn brand where they did put some toy as an accessory then I m pretty sure I have to dissapoint you because the correct answer would be "no" I guess🤷🏻♂️
@@hardusehobby Well, if it does not.....it ought to.
@@wendellworth353 Hm yeah maybe they could do that if they did use very cheap materials instead of titanium and elmax. Would be nice. I mean I would love such gadgets in a popcorn box even if they are not the most usefull tools

Hey thanks! Your testing was quite revealing and exposed certain weaknesses that are good to know. Hopefully ColdSteel will take note of some of your points. Your time and attention are greatly appreciated.
Nice to hear. I appreciate watching knifeviedeos as well for entertainment. And its enjoyable doing such videos. The hard use videos are the most fun for me but there has to be an interesting and not to expensive knife to make a video because the value of the knife gets obviously lost or diminished by doing such tests.
that sheet looks dangerous.

can gravity knives work in space?
Weird question🤔 Are you planning to leave our planet? I guess yeah I mean it depends on how you define"works" what your expectations would be in space and what you are doing in space when your knife should work. Generally speaking I guess it would work there in all scenarios sufficiently as a two hand opener by pulling the blade out with your fingers since they say gravity would be different in space then on our planet. From what I ve heard a knife with lanyard hole is better in space so your knife doesnt get lost just as a tip🤷🏻♂️
Fantastic comment 👍
Well the gravity knife in reality should be called accelerator knife rather than gravity knife since you can also unsheathe the knife by using centrifugal force or just by doing a jerking motion so if you even are in space you would still be able to unsheathe the knife.
With a move of our hand you will build a momentum, and a knife will be deployed (it should).
