Jufule/Eafengrow Bearfly: Crossbar lock, Micarta & D2 blade (Knife Content)
Published: 3 years ago
Noticed recently that Eafengrow has licensed this knife for distribution through Amazon and other places recently, so I added that to the description.
Bit of an interesting piece here. Jufule, by and large, isn't a company I was familiar with... Also looks like ALL but this piece are blatant copies of Spyderco & Benchmade designs which I'm not about.
But this one is different. It's their first original design, and I thought it'd be alright to throw some cash that way to help encourage them to create their own original designs or work with other designers rather than copying existing products.
There's a lot to like about this thing. The blade is heavily stonewashed, decently slicey, the micarta scales are REALLY well done, it's fully ambidextrous and has a crossbar lock.
The action itself is unfortunately not wonderful. It's smooth, but feels stiff like it's using nylon washers, but it's only employing phosphor bronze washers... Might be a tolerance thing.
Specs:
3.25" D2 blade with 2.55 mm stock thickness
2.95 oz / 83.5 gram weight
0.47" handle thickness (Micarta)
Crossbar Lock
Phosphor Bronze Washers
