Hogue EX01 - New Review

A brand new review, newly recorded, unlike the past videos where I edited footage I already had, and never uploaded.

Music - One Day as a Lion - One Day as a Lion (yes, it has Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine as the frontman, Tom Morrello is also doing a couple of things now as well.)

Working with the camera I have borrowed is tricky, bad file format, it took me 4 hours to transcode the format, and it was hard to edit even then. On top of that, took 8 hours to render, and then another 8 hours re-rendering after I had to change the music!

But here it is.

Reviews coming up:

Benchmade 51 - Tested, Recorded
Spyderco Sage II - Tested
Lone Wolf Trail Mate - Tested
ESEE Izula - In Testing
Al Mar Ultra - Chef 8" Damascus Gyuto and Messermeister Meridian Elite - 8" Chef's Knives - In Testing

When I get the time, I am really busy lately.

@LastDEF Its One Day as a Lion, and they remind you of who? Check the description

Dude I just found out your making videos again for some reason they didn't show up in my sub box, anyway I was watching one of your older vids on 1095 cro/van and saw this on the side! -Vincent

@LastDEF Glad it showed up, a lot of people have been having problems with the new system and seeing their subs

looking at the knife at first it looks like the blade is bigger than the handle. hogue really went the way that smith and wesson shouldve gone. maybe smith and wesson can get together with their old partners and make some great blades. i really enjoy the button lock. this handle has too many buttons. i would love to have the safety sliding button removed all together. i really dislike safeties on knives.

[QuietBearr]

@PavlovSandor It does seem to have to much going on in the handle, however, it did look better once I took off the safety.  I agree there, stupid to put a safety on.

Excellent review. Listening to you is like reading Consumer Reports, outstanding Sir. Keep up the great work.

great video, this is the best review of this knife that I've found

[EMacXL]

Good review, thanks a lot.

I don't understand your gripe with the safety switch though :)

It's pure genious to me, people who don't like just won't use it.

Those who like it will have a secondary safety when the knife is open.

Win-win scenario in my book :)

The good folks at TSA stole my Javalina straight from my bag. Assholes.

I Emailed Allen Elishewitz with questions on this knife when I did the auto conversion and got a response the next day! Seems like a really good guy, answered all my questions.

[IMD4VE]

Great review man. Very informative.

[QuietBearr]

@ohTHATidiot autolock? If you are referring to if its an automatic knife, it is fully manual. If its about the lock, its dual action. It has to be manually engaged. If you engage it when it is closed, it will lock the lock when the knife is opened, so you have to release the safety, and then release the button lock.

But I didnt like it at all and found it pointless, and getting in the way, so I removed it.
