4 More Shinies Added to the Collection
Published: 2 years ago
First look at my newest knives.
Starting out with the Kizer Towser K. This is the replacement that Kizer sent me, in the red micarta. It's contoured unlike the richlite variant; I don't find it to be more or less comfortable than the other. It's got a nice grippy texture like the Infinity and Rapids which is great. I was able to fix up the richlite one after this video and it's working great.
Next up, a Wong Design from TwoSun. The TS388. This thing is strange. Blade's quite a bit like a kukri. This is one of the first from Wong I have that feels cramped due to the curvature of the handle. You can grip it back a bit more and it's comfortable, but you're quite a ways away from the blade at that point.
Next up is the TS213 "Eleganté" from Jelly-Jerry. This one's ergos confuse me, in much the same way that the TS228 "Aurora" does. This one's heel of the blade is WAY too close to the spine of the handle... I deal with this in a separate video.
And lastly, the TS215 "Stork" also from Jelly-Jerry. I... love this damn thing. Nice blade length, great slicey geometry, plenty of deployment options and it's comfortable. The tip might be a tad delicate for some, but for EDC tasks, it's awesome.
