Trevor Burger LEXK CFL - Small Details Review and Comparison - Drop Point & Sheepsfoot
Published: 3 years ago
Today we're taking a Small Details™ look at two truly incredible knives: the Trevor Burger Customs LEXK CFL in both drop point and sheepsfoot variants. Trevor Burger is an incredible South African custom knife maker, and these are some of the most spectacular knives I've ever held. One belongs to me, and the other was generously loaned to me by @LeftyEDC. Let's break them down, compare them, and find out exactly what makes them so special!
Trevor's Website: https://tbcknives.com/
And his IG: https://www.instagram.com/tbcknives/
You can get Trevor's knives from a number of places. Sometimes he does lottos on his Instagram (linked above), so make sure to follow him.
You can also find a lot of his knives over at Blade Gallery (https://www.bladegallery.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=1758).
Sometimes he'll do drops through other online retailers (like GP Knives: https://www.gpknives.com/brands/customknives/trevor-burger-custom-knives.html).
Lastly, Urban EDC Supply carries a lot of his knives, and they're also doing a custom collab with him actually called the Urban EDC. Trevor made a limited run of 50 custom versions (I ended up getting one through a friend!), and Urban EDC Supply will be carrying a production version sometime in 2022. You can find all of their TBC knives here: https://urbanedcsupply.com/collections/vendors?rfsn=6236743.c23de69&q=Trevor%20Burger (full disclosure, that's also a referral link; feel free to use it if you'd like to help support this channel!)
