  • What are you views on tip-down/tip-up knives when their riding in your pocket?

  • shld I get a CRKT Lake or CRKT Drifter? which one will be value for $ ?

  • For the $ this is a good knife. Is it as good as delica? Hell no, but it's 1/3 of the price. This is a great knife to buy and use ruthlessly and not care what happens to it.

  • left click , "add to favorets"

  • The lock back safety bit is CRKTs way of preventing you closing the lock when you squeeze the knife hard. Spyderco has the Boye detent, Cold Steel has the especially deep lock travel on their Triad locks, CRKT has the LBS. Necessary? Who knows, but there are three companies that do it.

  • Bought one. clip screws pulled out just carrying it. Blade dulls very very quickly. The lock safety very gimicky and activates in the pocket. Gotta fiddle with it if you want to or not. Dont recomend it.

  • I had the brass one until my dad saw it and wanted it bad so i just gave him mone and he carries it everywhere..

  • Sorry Nutn, normally I agree with you but this knife is TERRIBLE. Worst blade play I have ever seen on a blade (yes I am aware of how to adjust pivot) and very bad deployment speed on mine. I will be contacting CRKT on this and will update this comment if needed but for right now I would tell TNP'ers to save their money and spend it on countless other options that Nutn has given.

  • Got mine today love it nice knife and it was sharp out of the box like you said.

  • @patrickkntn69 where did you get this knife from. seems hard to find.

  • @timberland1108 I bought mine off of Amazon. Amazom seem to have some of the harder to find stuff out there. I love it it works great and it is with me now.

  • don't get it from MEC. i got one for $25, returning it soon. Horribly rough opening and tilted thumb stud. So bad that I cut my thumb twice (on the thumb stud) trying to open it. Guess I got unlucky, ordered a spyderco delica 4 instead.

  • throwback LOL

  • Awesome knife can you do a CRKT M16 13Z knife review if you have one? I did one.

  • $16 in US, $60 in Europe..

  • CRKT does make some excellent unassuming blades. My fiancee gave me a CRKT Snap Lock for V-Day. I laughed cuz its so small as to be comical and I didn't think it was gonna be worth much. Boy did I ever have to swallow my words on that one. I love the little bugger, It's so handy for EDC, the size is perfect, and the sharpness just blew me away, Just like Nutn said, razor-sharp right out of the box. Excellent.

  • love review. I have one I have since disabled the lbs (blade lock out) I even say i got a good deal when bought with gift card

  • love it but I have now disabled the blade lock out or (lbs). I even got it for free with gift card.

  • no JEM-PENG!

  • love how the brass gives it a kind of gold look XD

    I want the polished on the aluminum :O

    oh wow less than $20 I won't complain @ all :D

    would make a nice budget present XD

  • like if you laughed like hell when he mentioned the jimping hahahahahaha....love you Nutnfancy

  • Crkt seems to always have that extra safety deal... Lol I don't care for nonsense the simpler the better IMO great review

  • my grandpa would love the denim sheath lol

  • can you message me cause i checked that on the websote and i didnt find it !

  • The 7255 is the plain edge, the 7256 is the combo edge.

    Also the aluminum/brass clasic has been discontinued .

    They come without the case but a much better collectable, especially

    now. The msrp was $50, compared to the Zytel which goes for $30.

    The aluminum/brass is the one to have.

  • You should review prison shanks!

    

  • Great original knife design!

    You could have fooled me with the price I guessed it would cost two/three times more

    As always great review Nutn.!

  • The LAKE sold out within days after this video came out. 

  • I have to agree about the baby sitting from CRKT. I ordered a desert tan M16 something model. Anyway it has a seconfary lock that has to be disengaged prior to the primary lock. I love the knife other then that, but I hate stupid safeties. Get rid of them so the dumb people will weed themselves out!

  • I may be an odd duck, but I genuinely like the tip-down carry, I find that I personally can draw faster with it. I'm starting to get annoyed with manufactures making tip-up only knives. *cough*buck vantage*cough*

  • Love this knife, great value.

    (those are torque screw heads not allen screw heads.)

  • Wow, incredible value!

    What's weird to me is at that price you get what you get from the knife, but that it could be even cheaper (or savings spent on things like skeletonizing the liner, etc) if they just ditched that denim sheath, used a standard torx pivot screw (that one looks cool but it's more plus the added cost of the tool included), and didn't throw on that safety mechanism.

    Not that there's anything wrong with it's value as it is. Great review!

  • i hate locking systems on knives, it seams like 75% of the time mine always get locked then i have to fidget with it to unlock... agreed ,unnecessary

  • Reminiscent of the Kershaw OSO Sweet. Love that little knife!

  • I'm sorry, that sheath is the ugliest thing ever. But the knife is cool.

  • I bought that Nerve for my brother awhile back and he had the thumb stud break off. He still carries it and its a two handed opener now. Great nife tho and it was only $18! Looking forward to the review on that! Thatnks for all the great vids!

  • I bought the Scamp and Love it!!

  • Thank you for the review!

  • unpayable in € !

  • great knife reveiw butt im sticking to my buck 110 and john fitzen bootknife

  • I have their M 16 ... love it. I have a couple others too. I love the double lock..

  • Just bought this thing today... I live about 30 min from the CRKT factory... love buying local!

  • good times for knives, bad times for guns haha

  • "Kinda has a certain style to it....Throwback?"  I seriously started laughing. 1:54

  • been my edc knive for a couple years now, solid choice

  • whats withe add in the beginning of the vid nutn?

  • great video short, sweet, and loaded with info. i would like to see more review vids like this. I dont have time to watch a 30 min vid on a knife keep it up!!!! 

  • Those are a couple of fun looking knives. The cost is extremely nice. Love the blade shape.

  • There goes another 20 bucks. Thanks Nutn.

  • Nutn, speaking of Mr. Lake, did you see the "Lake Thunderbolt 2 Razor Edge"? Talk about some kind of cool...check it out and review that one, 18.00 so its a potential under 40 folder. Thanks Nutn!

  • ?here do you buy your knives from Nutnfancy?

  • Every day carry

  • what is EDC?

  • @barnesj89 every day carry.

  • @shukijo69 roger, thanks

  • strider sng in the future maybe?

  • Hahahaha Voice crack @ 5:43. I about peed myself!

  • Helle the best imo

  • kershaw skyline

    crkt drifter

  • Thats a good deal

  • If any of you have a Strider adjustment tool that comes with any knife that Strider makes and you like the CRKT Lake, you could probably use the adjustment tool on the Lake.

  • thanks nutnfancy, your review just jacked up the price for this knife. please give crappy reviews to lower the prices for us average joes.

  • Thanks for the vid, decent knife for a great price.

  • thats smokin for 16 bucks

  • Still don't like lockbacks. Just slow, weak, and awkward to me.

  • Comment removed

  • Wish CRKT would bring their pocketclips to put on all 4 positions on the knife, like the Delica.

  • I keep wondering: Why does so many knifes come with the blade up style? It's horible for EDC knifes. And when you can't switch? man... Is there a law or somthing for blade down style someware in the US?

  • Speaking for my self I wouldn't mind hearing the difference between those steels. I got into your vids back in december of '08 because of how indepth you go into your reviews and all of the philosophy that comes with them.

  • Thanks for the vid , nice job

  • LOVE, absolutely LOVE that denim sheath!

  • Dude im buy that one 16 bucks im getting 2

  • A coil spring in a lock back knife ? That's kinda strange to me

  • A coil spring in a lock back knife? First time I've seen that, that's kinda of strange I think.

  • I would totally get this...if it wasn't for the clip placement and lack of options. I am a lefty. One of the many reasons I always head back to spyderco, benchmade and coldsteel(to a lesser extent)....clip placement options. Kershaw blades are horrible for lefty options, crkt not so good either.

  • Kershaw Nerve = VERY decent blade! That one's been in my collection for a year or so. Cool to see it on your table. Great review as always.

  • I have Lake111 for about two years now and I can honestly say I hate it. Nothing good to say about it, edge retention is poor, pocket clip comes loose, opening speed decreases drastically, LBS is more a designer thing than something usable.

  • This is exactly why I have watched all your vids nutn. I really believ youre the only guy out there telling us where to find these ultra high value and high quality products. You are totally the man. Do you have experience with the quickfire trigger mounted rail adapter?? I want to have flashlight option on my p225 for HD and since its railless, im a bit at a loss. Also, would you ever put something like a quark mini 123 on a small framed auto like a p225? I saw your excellent review on that li

  • the brass is nice. but since it tarnishes, taking the knife apart and polishing those liners would be necessary to keep it looking nice....

  • Any chance you'll review the French Opinel brand folding knives?

    I like the novelty of their bigger folding knives.

  • the lock is some wut use full , cuz if ur spyderco had one like that it wouldent of opend in ur pack n u wouldent of cut ur hand ... just sayin

  • hey nutn. how do you get your delica ffg to deploy so quickly? i have one, and when i tried to loosen it enough to make it deploy faster, it just resulted in there being a large amount of side-to-side play. any advice?

  • @rtmilster

    just need to practice flicking blades open. Takes time and lots of playing with knives.

  • @rtmilster It is all in the thumb. Unlike other Spyderco knives, some Delicas are stiff. You need to put the tip of your thumb in the hole, with your thumb bent. Then, a combination of a wrist-flick and quick straightening of the thumb will snap the Delica open. Other knives, I have [like the Tenacious] don't require nearly the same technique. The Delica is a great knife...just not the fastest to deploy until you get the technique down. Good luck!

  • nice one Nutn.

  • Nutn you gotta do a review of the Buck Paklite, ive been having good luck with it, good fixed blade, i bought it originally to have a fixed blade but its light, i cant feel it, sharp as hell, 420HC is ok

  • Nutn – any thoughts on the CRKT "Lake Bandera"? THX

  • Check out SANRENMU knives Nutn! Nice old-school vid:)

  • Where was the drifter?

  • I'm gonna have to get another part time job to keep up with these video's. Oh you have to love the addiction.

  • That denim sheath is UUUGLY!

  • @agglutination I expected nutn to start dieing as soon as he brought it out.

  • Love it! WOW look at all the Euro Viewers awesome! Hi European TNPr's!!!!!

  • man that buck looks good "adding to wish list"

  • wow nutnfancy reviewing a CRKT and liking it!?!?! Great review and blade! glad you like it!

  • Pretty nice for that price. The back might be hard to clean.

  • denim sheath....um, gay bar (undercover)

  • Great review.

  • The thumbstud looks like a beer can

  • I like seeing you review CRKT but I really really hate their pocket clip positions. I mean seriously, you can't complain much for 16$ but for the love of god how difficult would it be to drill a few more holes for tip up carry???

  • @evilsquirrel56231 im really new to knives, so pardon my ignorance, but why are you guys so insistent on tip up carry? How much of a difference or advantage does it make?

  • @QCprepper Well it's not much of an advantage but I just prefer tip-up (as does nutnfancy). With some good quality knives (such as some Spyderco models for example) you have 4 slots for up and down carry, for both left and right handed people. It's all about choice. Besides, the Spyderco Tenacious I'm carrying right now is much more comfortable in the pocket when worn tip-up... Tip down gets all the jimping on the spine on your way when you put your hand down your pocket and scratches you

  • Comes in G10 s'well.

  • NO JIMPPING

  • hmmm that knife kinda reminds me of the rollock except bigger...and i loved the rollock ive always wanted a plain edge one and its actually cheaper too!

  • and for the commenters that its more expensive in europe .normaly its triple the u.s price in € and sometimes 4X.

    But hey i read aread a article yesterday that U.S tourist complaining about the 4$ botlles of water in Amsterdam.LOL

  • IMO the LBS may be needed in a few instances where a very strong grip on the handle may release the lock. I did some self defence training with a spyderco lock-back knife once and during a stabbing sim I was gripping so hard that the blade unlocked and folded in on my fingers. If it wasn't for the lug at the base of the blade I would have easily lost a finger!

  • Most of the CRKT knives are complete crap. I had few and hated them. But they're cheap ;).

  • these are the best i would love more of these reviews

  • 45 euros in France !! WTF price !!

    u r lucky in US !!

  • @haloora france uses euros now?? where the fuck have i been? haha

  • @ZAC2994

    lol^^ france, germany and some other countrys had the € first...

  • @xx1simon1xx you shittin me?...

  • @haloora My friend just got Benchmade 710-D2 for about 100$.Its new but wasnt purchesed in the knife-shop. Check some French knives sites-those got always sth like junk yard. 100$-BM710 was found in such place at Knives.pl. BTW Im from Poland-knives are expensive here as hell but its posible to find them at good prices as shown above;)

  • @haloora Ebay !!!

  • @haloora WTF?!

  • @haloora

    Dear fellow Europeans: always buy gear online in the US! (For example on eBay US.) Even including 20 USD shipping costs, prices are often 50%(!) cheaper compaired to Europe!! And I'm talking online stores. Just checked a standard Spyderco Military (my EDC) at knivesandtools.nl in Holland: 192 EUR/284 USD!?! Leatherman Charge TTI: 160 EUR/237 USD!?! (EUR/USD rate changes.) Nuff said. Greetings from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

  • @JDYTC I know dude! Here in Romania there is only one(at least from my searches) good online store that sells knives at the recommended price(the price showed on the maker's site). And you're right! You guys in U.S. get them even half the recommended price.

  • @JDYTC Welcome comrade. Please enjoy your stay here.

    Don't forget the free cookie on the way out!

  • @haloora Man either find a cheaper store in like Germany or something or order from a website, much cheaper. =)

  • @haloora Lol thats because in France they charge 3+ euros for a bottle of Coca Cola.

  • @haloora Je suis tres heureux que j'habite aux Etats-Unis!!

  • @haloora I agree with you there. In Europe, not only do we get screwed by knife laws, but we get screwed by prices as well...

  • @haloora 24€ in Germany on wolfster knives webshop

  • @haloora Buy online my friend. Buy online.

  • "more expensive blades are actually coming up for review soon." -Nutnfancy

    next upload is a $16 knife LOL! I love ya nutn! keep up the good work!

  • @GadgetsNGear He's working his way up from the $15 Kobalt multi tool lol.

    

  • i started w/ CRKT's, and still love em

    love the scamp, 3.5" blade is MY choice for edc.

  • i think the lock is ok cause if i were to put the blade through some hard use i would lock the lock so there would be no chance of it closing on my hand. and it seems as though u had a little trouble locking it...i know it wont lock in my pocket like my kershaw leek does

  • I really want that brass version, I might be able to get away with it at work, they only allow a 3" blade. I might also break out the tools and mount that clip the right way!

  • I like the lock.

  • The denim sheet is so damn hokey... Knife looks great, though. Tip-up would be better IMO, though.

  • I wonder, does that lock safety contribute at all to a stronger lock? I mean, I can't see how the mechanism works from the exterior, but for the lock to fail (unless it completely breaks) it needs to actuate. Maybe that silly thing actually serves a purpose besides babysitting us. Even if it doesn't, I like that it doesn't automatically engage as is the case with their liner-locks. I would love you see some strength tests on that if you have the time...

  • Hmmm I like the brass on that knife... looks >no pun intended> sharp...

    Gotta LOVE those prices too!!

    Thanks for letting us know about them.

    Rock on TNP!

  • This is a cool knife, and the sheet is sick i'm loving i't : )

  • I've got a $600 plus bill to pay first. :(

  • hay nutn i have had the buck nobleman for 3 yrs and it is a awesome knife. Cant what to see your review for it. Keep up the good work.

  • 6:46 WoO (Wizard of Oz) Spring.. that looks weird..

  • 6:54 WHAT?! I had to listen to it three times to believe it!

    TOTAL FAIL AT LIGHT CHECK NUTN!!! ;)

    I cant believe you always check your buddies to see if they carry a flashlight and you failled yourself on tape! lol

    At least you passed with flying colors the knife check so I forgive you for this one.

  • HMMM.. Love this knife. Need POS (Point of Sale). CS (Cutlery Shoppe) No. USC (U.S. Cavalry) No, TKC (theknifecollector) No, EBAY (Echo Bay (interesting)) No brass liner, CRKT.com (DUH - Did Ulook here?) Ok so I found it here but no mention of brass liner... OK I found at Cabela's (thanks yq397r) and am purchasing now...even though I really don't like cabela's...but great price $15.88. I will set aside my resentment for incredible value...occassionally.

  • @luke812 Wait Wait...No freakin straight edge -only combo on Cabela's. Won't do it. ^re-insert resentment here.

  • You called us customers. Was that a fo pa?

  • Hey Nutn I know its not about those knives but im a long time subscriber and I never seen any Karambit style of knife review in TNP.

    What are your thoughts on those?

    Will we see any in the future in TNP?

  • No if's, and's or but's, Nutn, I WILL be getting this knife for my birthday in 4 days. You can count on it. SIXTEEN DOLLARS? That's the BEST price range on an adequate EDC blade that I've seen in the project. I can't belive it, honestly. I can't wait to see about getting this knife, it'll be the best present. Thanks for reviewing it!

  • I ordered this a couple days ago from Cabela's for the low price of $15.88, checked youtube to see if nutnfancy had reviewed the CRKT Lake 111 didn't see anything but ordered it anyway, and now, heres the review! Look forward to getting it soon.

  • good video nutn and veri keep up the great work

  • Good looking, inexpensive knife. Don't like the mandatory tip-down carry and the need for an adjustment tool to tighten it up but still, a good value.

  • The denim sheeth looks pretty cool. Not sure if I'd actually use it, tho.

  • Nice knife

  • Saw this on Steep and Cheap a while ago. Decided not to get it and maybe I should have. Saving up for the Kershaw 7000

  • hey im from Eugene, cool shit!

    great vid nutn!!!

  • I was thinking about getting one of these a while ago. I'll wait on it though because I have a Leek and Scallion in the mail. Don't want to spend all my money. You're making me poor! :P

  • low cabbage blade... :)

  • i like the brass detail very cool. denim? 70's flash back ? what were they thinking. ~what ever~

  • damn 16$

  • hi nutn great video again as usual
