TAC reviews

TAC reviews

Hey KZread!

My goals for this channel is to encourage people to go out and enjoy the great outdoors. I provide related product reviews, apps and trail clips to make it easier for you to find trails to head out to and some gear that you may want to take out with you. Hope everyone enjoys what this channel has to offer! :) Make sure to subscribe to get the latest updates.

I would like to clarify the term TAC. The title says it all. TAC as in "*T*he *A*sian *C*anadian" reviews. Its not Tactical reviews. Sorry guys. If you are looking for tactical stuff, you are looking at the wrong place.

Just a couple of more things to keep in mind while you are watching this channel.

First. Please, keep the comments clean.

Second. If you don't like what you see. Hit thumbs down twice.

Finally, if you like what you see, please hit like and subscribe. It would really help me out guys and gals!

    You hit the nail on the head. This was a great video. I admittedly own more knives than I need. I suppose you could say I like knives, and when I see a new one that I think could be useful, I have a hard time stopping myself. That said, every single knife I buy, has a very particular purpose. I have outdoor knives, folding knives for self defense, an outdoor folder/self defense knife (in case I'm in a jurisdiction that prohibits open carrying fixed blades), I have large carbon steel fixed blades for hard outdoor use, I have stainless outdoor fixed blades, in case I'm in an area I know will be constantly wet or salty, I have machetes for outdoor use, machetes for lawn work, and machetes swords for home defense. I even have a smaller blade length folder, because my county limits the folding blade length in the park where my daughter plays. The bottom line, is that every knife should have a purpose. I'll never understand those people who own 50+ high end, super steel folding knives, which sit in a drawer. I have just one "super steel knife", which is the Cold Steel SRK in CPM-3V. I bought it, because the SK5 (1085) carbon steel version has a hollow grind, and hence a weak tip. The San Mai 3 version, and CPM-3V versions, have flat grinds, and strong tips. I'm pretty sure Cold Steel did that on purpose, to steer buyers towards the more expensive knives. I bought the CPM-3V version, because the San Mai 3 versions are prone to chipping. That knife cost me about $138+tax. It's the most expensive knife I own.

    More and more knife snob channels keep popping up on my suggested list -- it's awful. Why the hell would I listen to some scrawny dude with a man-bun tell me that I need to spend $500 on a pocket knife? Other than avocado toast and check-filled letters from his parents, what the fuck is he cutting where he needs a carbon steel, convex-ground knife? If I need to survive in the wilderness for any length of time, chances are I'm not going to be reaching for a plastic-bodied, button-operated pocket knife.

    Great video. Thanks for this. My F7631-CF came with super smooth/loose action, but a super stiff g-lock. After watching your video I was able to adjust the lock (omega spring) so that I can close the knife a little easier with only my thumb, and then tightened the pivot screws a little tighter so that I can't "fling" it open without engaging the thumb stud or g-lock so that it can't open in my pocket. My springs are still just a little tighter than I'd like, but I think they might loosen up over time and I figure it's safer with the blade locked firmly.

    Just a note, lowering the spring tension raises the risk of the lock disengaging. I find that if you remove the tooling chatter on the liners that the axis pin rides on the lock moves much smoother. Polishing the blade at the pivot, polishing the grooves the locks bar rides in is a much better way to get a smoother operation. also much safer way as well. The reason these knives are so cheap is because a lot of this finishing work is neglected that is most of the reason for poor operation.

  • @user-ue6iv2rd1n
    @user-ue6iv2rd1n4 жыл бұрын

    It's all downward pressure the spring tension shouldn't have much effect. When is your knife going to have any real force on the spine anyway?

    Thanks for the tutorial. I love ganzo knifes and hopefully in a few days receive my first axis lock. I heard somewhere that opening the blade about half way and leaving it overnight or for a day like that also softens the lock. Have you tried that? It makes sense to me in theory, no idea if it works

    D2 is not tough. Comparing to s110v maybe haha but in no way is d2 a tough steel. I'm not sure whoever started the d2 being tough thing but you've been lied to lol. Not saying it's a bad steel or anything bc it's not and Two Sun's ht is usually pretty good based on LTK's testing and my own.

    I bought this knife, too. Even though I made a purchase in Japan, this is not so expensive as you said and quite nice. However, the sharpness of the edge is easy to lose as other You -Tuber reported and it should be better to resharpen it. Other problem is, the finish of the blade is not so well-balanced and my one is asymmetry. Therefore, I'm thinking that I should fix the blade by myself or not.

    My 2 Ganzos came into the U.S. tight. Seems like most Ganzos come tight. Before you open them up for surgery, try loosening the pivot and putting oil on the axis/G-lock pin and where it makes contact with the blade. Also oil on a piece of paper slid between where the bearings meet the blade should smooth things up. Worse case, open and close the blade over and over again. If nothing else, that should strengthen your finger and wrist muscles.

    I have the same cheap set up. I do have other equipment too for different scenarios. For me put the boya into the zoom at input level 37-45. You will get less background noise, not perfect but ok. Should you not want to sync in post use the out put jack into your camera. Personally I would sync in post and put the audio through some simple editing. Audacity is great and takes 5 mins. Great video thanks.

    If your finger is hitting the auto lock that often just lube up the knife or adjust the pivot so it's not as tight. I have the M16-04 (same knife but with tanto and 4 way adjustable carry) and never have this problem. I'd say it's just a little too tight. Thanks for the review really enjoyed it.

    I've had this knife for about ten years or so, and although I don't carry it on a daily basis, it's a part of my collection that I'd never part with. As a thought experiment, look at your knife collection and imagine if the shit hits the fan and you could only have one knife, which one would you choose? For me, it would be the M21 04.
