My only complaint is the smooth G10 finish. Wish it was as grippy as my G10 PM2.
good
I love mine MX, have Victorinox 2 ares, and i use use it in work, and if i need something, fix on the spot. It's not big, and it's yust work. Much beter choice for me than Leatherman, which is much sturdier . Both mine with holster in holster i hawe bits. It's tick like Skeletool CX, but Victorinox is yust much better made multi tool. That is mine apinion .
you can upgrade the bearings to caged that have 20 vs the 16 in the stock. 15 bucks
Okay, awesome. Thanks!
I feel like the Sage 5 fills the niche of a compression lock version of the Native 5 that you mentioned you were looking for no?
Yes! I will definitely give one a shot in the future
slick! i really love the anodizing and my buddy has recently got me into star wars lol, my titanium scales came in the other day for my para 3 im lovin em
I like that! Much better looking than the Spyopera. I could do this one.
Pretty good review-what you have there is a piece of art; functional art. Some content creators poo-poo don’t understand or realize they are holding art; to them a CRK doesn’t “flick”.
I agree, it is a piece of art! And excellent machining
Great job!
Thanks!
i have a magnacut pocket knife and it's about the same size as the blade for the Arc and it was $300🙃. i ordered an arc for the magancut and i should be getting it tomorrow.
You’ll enjoy it, I’m sure!
THX sub +
Thanks for the sub!
Best EDC. It’s my favorite EDC!
Great review
Thanks!
I enjoy the full-size AD20 but the AD20.5 beats Para3 with inferior materials even.
The hard wire cutter needs to work at the very bottom by the pivot as that's where wire will naturally fall. No excuse for it at all. The wave + and charge+ have no such issue and the hard cutter works right at the pivot as it should. The play in the tool is also not good enough. All in all I genuinely think the charge+ is a much better tool with it's 154cm steel on the main blade being good enough, although not as good as the magnacut and everything else just much sturdier and better built. Just my opinion.
Had a look at user comments a while ago on the GOAT website numerous unhappy people. Nice concept but poorly implemented. Just their slogan on warranty was enough to put me off...'100 YEAR GUARANTEE' at the rate they are going they will not be around that long and the fact it does not have to be the original owner either does not seem sustainable in my opinion. At this time if I wanted a multitool that is well supported from a company I know I could trust it is ROXON.
Crowned spine is a great detail they added. I like mine, and great collection piece
Did you and Doodys daggers review the same knife? He was neg based on detent and behind the edge thickness. 0.0028-0035” is rather thick maybe M398 needs it . Any hoot interesting battle of the reviews.
I don’t measure the edge thickness, just go by how it feels and performs. I’ll have to check out his review and see how it compares to my opinions. Thanks for bringing that up!
I love my stitch but not for EDC. It’s the greatest knife you’ll never carry
OutKast approved
G10 manix has been on my list for a long while. The lightweight really is a great edc.
I love the concept and I’m rooting for GOAT, but they need to come out with the 2.0.
Agreed!!
Where is it manufactured? That says a lot about quality
Manufactured in China, as far as I can tell. That fact alone in my opinion doesn’t affect quality, because several brands that have excellent quality are manufactured there. I feel that the design just wasn’t perfected before it was launched
Nail on head with pocket clip. Hard to get out of pocket. Protech strider pt is also a fumble to get out of the pocket. Would love a non deep carry pocket clip for both.
Native 5 lightweight is such an awesome edc knife. Waiting for it to come in k390.. Many people always start with an para 3 but i didn’t liked the para 3 that much. The native 5 is way better in my eyes for edc. The backlock is really really good.
I’m interested in trying one out!
Still better than a Bugout
Great video, very interesting.
Thanks!
❤
They have the edge like that so if you're cutting cardboard you don't get stuck in the choil the whole blade is available to you
That does make sense, thanks!
Blade stock is too thick paired with the grind. Not enough life out of it. Buy a big banter instead.
I did end up passing this knife along for that very reason. Still a great knife, but not the best slicer
if you try and tighten the bottom screws down first towards the butt, then the pivot last you should be able to send it. Do it with the blade open
I’ll give that a shot, thanks!
I trust you’re right about the proper operation of the wire cutters. That just looks really awkward to consistently do right. I’m eventually going to screw it up. Otherwise looks like a really nice edc tool. Though I’d actually lean more towards the P4, since I’m not convinced the added features are worth an extra $100. But to be fair, Leatherman gave people what they wanted… sales speak for themselves.
I’ll admit it can be a bit fiddly to use the cutting bits properly, but having used them many times, and not being particularly careful, I still have yet to chip them. So I’m confident they will be quite reliable.
What about the bit holding capability and bit quality?
Unfortunately no but holding capability here, but the built in drivers are quite good! I’ve used it a ton and never had any issues with the material quality, or bit geometry
@@The_commonman Ok, cool. I heard another KZreadr say she didn't want to use the bits for fear of damaging them. Not exactly how she said it. It seemed she felt the bit quality was poor. Thank you for the review.
This is honestly my favorite knife in my collection. I ended up buying it multiple times. Capable blade, mines starting to get good character, micarta is getting super smooth. Love the action, mines very fidget friendly. Nice weight. And as a lefty I love how you can easily switch it to lefty carry. It also just looks very nice in person. It’s consistently been my go to EDC since I got it and it’s been a while now.
Skinner/spey blade is supposed to be canted to keep your hand up higher from the work. Quality control has been spotty since the 80's, even on the pocketworn and "Select" knives that they supposedly put more time and effort into. I don't buy newer Case through the mail now. Just cherry-pick in person. I have not had blade play like that though
Never liked these, don't care for the blade shape, whole things too skinny, and when I handled one it felt cheaper than my migurons
It will serve you well. Cold Steel allows someone to cover all knife categories without consuming too much of your earnings.
"Reliable" at feather sticking, cutting up food, and cardboard boxes.... Yes. Reliable in tactical situations.... No. That axis lock is definitely no tri-ad lock.
You've had one fail in a tactical situation?
@@SuperSteelSteve I have no confidence in the axis lock to ever even consider using it in a tactical situation.
@johnnyeas1431 Oh, so your just making stuff up. Weird.
@@SuperSteelSteve ok... No need for you to have a nervous meltdown. It's not like I'm telling you what to do with it. If you want to use it in a tactical situation, go right ahead.
@johnnyeas1431 Nervous meltdown? Breathe buddy, I simply asked you a genuine question. It's just text, relax bud.
I have the lionsteel myto and i like it a lot
🔥🗣️
The Kizer milled Ti pocket clips KS201 (black) / KS301 (silver) are good fits, and solved the clip flaw for me.
Awesome, I’ll check that out. Thanks!
Great breakdown vid.
Thanks for watching!
The reason you have the issue with the saw blade not locking is because the supplied 1mm washer needs to sit between the body and the saw blade, so the saw blade catch can sit in the back spring channel, otherwise it wont lock. If you use a 0.1mm thick brass/bronze shim between the lever and blade, it solves the problem of catching the lever - I lapped a shim to a polish (up to 2000 grit) and I can now open the main tools without the lever opening. - although, the lever does tend to show movement when the tool is almost fully opened. You're right in what you say, the black oxide increases friction, it takes a long(!) time to wear in. The blade popping out seems to be the main issue with the Goat tools. MANY users have reported that the tension on the spring back isn't strong enough to hold the blade in. - resulting in users slightly bending the back spring closer to the tools, so that its tension is increased. As for the wire cutters, a dremel to grind away a small slope between the screw and the main body, so that wire cutting is easier. Also, placing small neodymium magnet inside so that they face each other, helps keep it closed, whilst still being easy to open with one hand. - unfortunately, for those that work with metal, magnets are a pain! I get that for a multitool, no one should have to do this amount of modding to their tool to be eventually good to use(In saying that, there isn't a leatherman I own that hasn't been customised!😂). Good to see a vid talking about the issues with this tool! Being honest and having constructive criticism is the way for companies to learn. I only hope Goat tool learn from this and sort all these issues out in their next gen version.
Thank you for sharing! You point out some great fixes, that I would definitely like to try. Thanks for the support, I also hope they listen to these critiques and try to sort some of them out!
I own the Bunta, the Terra and the Pioneer and I love them all.
All great looking knives!
Goattool I trashed my. It was no good. Give me big problems.
Which do you prefer?
That’s a tough one.. but I think I’d go with the stitch. That tip is incredible
I have the same in earth color add soft loops 2 years now carry in fall winter you enjoy 🎉🎉🎉
I picked up the Aluminum and 154cm version. Love it
Didn’t know that was available, sounds awesome!
Awesome wedding party gift. Great idea. Great knife
👍🏼very cool wedding gift! I like cold steel stuff.
I’m enjoying it!
