00:00Okay.
00:30That's our little flipper tab there and as we can see it's a liner lock.
00:46I've only got one complaint about this knife and that is how soft it is when it locks inside
00:55the handle.
00:56It's like that is so soft it's ridiculous.
01:06Very easy to open, locks up nicely, no play, oh got to be careful, it does do that reasonably
01:20well but yeah it's just way too soft, way way too soft.
01:30Is it full scandy, well it wasn't full scandy, it is full scandy after I sharpened it.
01:37The only problem with sharpening it is, let's see if I can do this here.
01:49Yeah it's pretty sharp, yeah full scandy, it's wicked, really really wicked when you go full
02:07scandy.
02:11So you do not want accidents when it's that sharp.
02:17Now the problem with it being a soft opener like that, just a little bit of pressure and
02:35it opens and it opens, if that's in your pocket, it's going to carve up your pocket real good,
02:42maybe even your leg.
02:44So yeah but full scandy now, it's sharp, it's full scandy.
02:54Okay let's see what happens on the rope, sometimes the knives don't do so well on the rope when
03:06they're full scandy because being full scandy means it's a very weak apex but I have tried
03:14to be careful with it so let's see what happens.
03:18It is 10 CR something CO MOV 15, so 10 CR 15 MOV or something so yeah, let's see what happens.
03:44Now I've seen a little bit of an aluminum bar, that's 80s on the little stone orange, and
03:48there's a little a little bit of a little bit of a little bit too.
03:53So it's fine, let's see what happens, so yeah.
03:56So let's see what happens, to see what happens on the other side, like it is what happens on
04:00the other side.
04:01Yeah, so for this piece of it, you can just move on the side, I'm going to move on the side or
04:06a little bit and start as well.
04:07Okay.
04:08So let's see what happens, all of the sides are in front pieces!
04:10That's all I've got to do now.
04:11So let's see what happens, I'm going to do that.
04:12But I'm just going to look at the other side and I will show you what happens
04:13Let's go.
04:43Let's go.
05:13Let's go.
05:43Let's go.
06:13Let's go.
06:15Let's go.
06:17Let's go.
06:19Let's go.
06:21Let's go.
06:23Let's go.
06:25Let's go.
06:27Let's go.
06:29We're on our way to 400 for full Scandi.
06:32I'm surprised, especially with an SRM.
06:36It's actually the best SRM I've ever owned in my life.
06:40Let's go.
06:42Let's go.
06:44Let's go.
06:46Let's go.
06:48Let's go.
06:54Let's go.
06:56Let's go.
06:58Let's go.
07:00Let's go.
07:06Let's go.
07:08Let's go.
07:10Let's go.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Let's go.
07:16Let's go.
07:18Let's go.
07:19Whoa, okay. Right, that went through. So I'm just wondering if there's crap on the apex
07:37and it's picking up crap off the rope and stuff. And then when you slice the paper it might
08:07clean it, clean the crap off. There's definitely a spot there where it feels a little bit there
08:26where it's hitting the wood. When it's digging into the wood that's where it's feeling a little
08:32bit rough there. Oh yeah, definitely a little bit of roughness where it's hitting the wood.
08:43That's I think 400 slices. So this little knife is doing all right. I'm surprised.
08:51I'm surprised.
08:58Oh, there's definitely a little rough spot there.
09:25There you see that. The first slice catches up there.
09:32There you see that. The first slice catches up there.
09:40It goes through. Wow. There's some pretty thin slices there.
09:47Okay, I went all the way through on that one. But you can see how thin that little slice there
09:54is and it's not failing on that one. It's not failing on that one. But you can see how thin
10:00that little slice there is and it's failing on it.
10:17Yeah, it's definitely where it's hitting the wood it's rough. But wow, I think we're on our way to 500. This is absolutely unbelievable.
10:24A full scan the SRM doing 500. This is unprecedented for an SRM.
10:31Yeah, it's definitely where it's hitting the wood it's rough. But wow, I think we're on our way to 500. This is absolutely unbelievable.
10:46A full scan the SRM doing 500. This is unprecedented for an SRM.
11:16Yeah, it's definitely a rough spot there. But it still slices the rope well enough.
11:31Okay, I failed the first time. And look how slow I'm going. I'm going pretty slow.
12:01It's still a working edge. We've hit 500 slices with this one.
12:04It's still a working edge. We've hit 500 slices with this one.
12:08It's still a working edge. It's still a working edge.
12:27It's still a working edge. We've hit 500 slices with this little knife which is for a full scan here. That's just unbelievable.
12:34I really don't know that I want to keep going. I think this is a truly amazing little knife.
12:42I'm running out of rope too so I don't want to burn through a ton of rope just to say that it's an excellent knife.
12:49I think it's just hit 500 I think so it's going to the correct side of 500.
12:57It's going to the correct side of 500. So SRM has done something right with this knife. I'm going to leave it there actually. Yeah, I'm happy. I really am. It's kind of, it's just a little trick little knife.
13:15I just don't like the fact that, you know, put a bit of pressure there and the knife pops out. That's the only thing that's negative about this. You put a little bit of pressure there and pop. It really needs to lock into the body a lot better.
13:34I would not be comfortable carrying this in the pocket at all. I would not because of that. It would just, you know, it's just a little bit of pressure and problems. But in a little, a little sheath would probably be a fantastic in a bum bag or something.
13:59But as a pocket knife, no. On your desk or something. Absolutely amazing. And I think this is where this is going to live from now on. It's on my desk. This is going to become my new letter opener and package opener I think. But absolutely unbelievable. 500 plus. That's really good.
