now as these things go on their tour of influencers this knife is already on to its
next destination where it's going is a who's who of late 2010s knife influence uploaders
that have long since uh has passed me in subscribers you know the Shabazz the metal
complex you know doing really well for themselves but its memory is still fresh in my heart
very fresh with my heart brush on my heart but the Rook here is getting the quick look treatment now
I can't throw it off a roof I can't kill a goat wedge it in a stump so that limits my options
on footage you're gonna get a mostly crusty hand shots here regular viewers will now know it's that
time of year again you know when my hands get dry and crusty I don't believe in hand lotion I signed
a waiver so I don't have to use it and talk to my pastor about it and he agreed it was full of
Nanobots now this comes from designer and maker Adam Purvis you might remember the primordial or
the progeny and the knife nuts versions of each 11 here arranged to send me this prototype here
speaking of knife nuts which uh pre-orders are going to go live on December 30th 2022
and I know at that point you're broken you're out of money so uh
maybe there's room for a little Christmas tree for yourself no one has to know about especially
if you've been hitting the Johnny Walker uh so let's take a look at the blade blade here is 20
CV you know 20 CV to be the chemical twin to m390 basically right or is it chemical Atomic chemical
I feel like I'm using the wrong word here I know the words pretty close but 20 CV I don't think is
worn out its welcome as much as the m390s you know that's in like 60 percent of your run-of-the-mill
high-end production knives so think of 20 CV and m390 you know it's a drake me he doesn't like this
but oh this is cool yeah they're they're like the same thing Drake oh man it's funny it never
gets old uh look at the Pam meme you know like it's the same thing I do you guys understand by
now I hope you understand by now now I like 20 CB just fine because it's in my Deadlocks and that's
really all it takes for me has a decent amount of wear resistance corrosion resistance this
knife here uses the 20 CV and a flat grind and some sort of drop clip Point style profile drop
point clip point no not a clip point maybe a clip Point uh it's front flipper though I always prefer
using the thumb on a front flipper to keep it from flying out of my hand now the pointer finger swipe
is always a bit risky key on your expensive knives unless you like pressing your internet followers
with your flipping skills you know that's the only thing it's good for But realize in real life
no one really cares now I feel the over the top back pop with the pointer finger feels a little
safer for me in the hand than the pointer swipe okay these are going to be like 300 bucks so you
know do what you have to do for the feed okay pivot here is nice and smooth it's on bearings
not quite a drop shot but you're fine with that you know drop shot is a wonderful surprise when
it happens but you don't need it okay asking for it makes you look like an a-hole now uh we have
a frame lock here it locks up uh right about so you know on your on your Tang no lock stick
on the Proto but easy-ish to flip and disengage as far as the size of this knife overall and the grip
it's about paramilitary to size although the the overall is a little shorter but in line with the
length and blade area ish now this option here is a bead blasted Stone wash with a natural Micarta
but there will be four variations I'm pretty sure there's going to be a knife nuts version too so
like five you can see all four versions over on atom purvis's feed but the one that sounds nicest
to me is the black bronze stonewash Titanium with the burl wood scales and the Hand rub you
know it's nice to have the hand rub underneath the scales you got skeletonized titanium slabs
which keep the knife nice and light under two and a half ounces is pretty impressive for a
titanium knife to size a pocket clip lefties will hate this in fact I should title my video
of that with the zoomed in thumbnail half a million viewers in a week but I hate people
watching my videos you know that and you know and it's to be fair it seems like they hate watching
them too after the last one you know the little drawer knife display case am I right I like to
tell myself one of the charms of this channel is me complaining about how my last video did
anyway uh hidden Hardware here on the pocket clip titanium Mill kind of sharp by Design ish right
not swappable blade backward tip up in the right pocket is where you might find it comparisons Now
The Rook ain't tiny it's just a good size fits in my average guy nasty bleeding dry
crack hands very nicely you know one day a full finger is just going to crack and fall right off
that's one less finger to worry about though now here it is next to the paramilitary too with its
aftermarket flitanium scales and a Lynch clip so one big [ __ ] the other day's egg there's no to
boot if you do this and okay you know it took me half an hour to do this okay so it's a build okay
just joking I don't care uh start by Design Apex also a front flipper with these uh knife nuts
fuchsia scales or inlays I mean I like the blue in lace too but fuchsia is like a little sassy
or purple I think these are all gone though the knife and the the inlays you snooze you lose right
um this is the snx beerbuster junior also a front flipper bit harder to flip really but the knife is
more about drinking than fidgeting uh and you got your Jack Wolf here your for your bead blasted my
car to look you see what I'm doing here trying to it's like the the modern knife look bead blasted
picardo slip joint though and I feel like these are spiritually connected because the visuals here
um and let's do one more the arkona nettle this is a front flipper you know Levin still has the
higher end version of these over on his site um this is pretty cool he sent me this like
earlier this year it's lightweight it's just easy to flip you just do the little the swipe
and it's it's great all right that about does it pre-orders like I said go live on this beauty 30th
