This replica Inkosi doesn’t even mention the steel type! But I’m pretty sure the results from this test are going to shock you as much as it shocked me!
Barrysail Knife Review: $20 Amazon Find with One Big Issue
Barrysail Knife Review: $20 Amazon Find with One Big Issue
Today I'm checking out the Barrysail knife from Amazon - another budget find courtesy of our good friend John Emerson who picked this one up for just under $20. This knife features a D2 steel blade with G10 handles and is clearly modeled after the popular Civivi Praxis design.
At first glance, this appears to be a pretty well-built knife that offers solid construction for the money. The materials are decent and the overall fit and finish seem respectable for a budget blade. However, there's one critical flaw that stands out and might be a deal-breaker for some folks. I won't spoil what it is here, but you'll see it when I break down the details. The real test will be seeing how this Amazon special holds up when we put it through our Redneck Cut Tests next. Special thanks again to John for adding this one to our testing lineup!

Cut Test: OK-223 (Para 3 style) in M390
I wanted to test this OK-223 (Para 3 style) knife back to back with the OK-81 because they’re both supposed to have the same M-390 steel. The results should be similar, right?

I reprofiled the edge down to a slicey 18 degrees, and it’s cutting paper like a laser beam! But how will it hold up in some real world tests?
Stop Maintenance 101 For Pocket Knives – Cleaning & Reloading The Compound
One of my strops was in need of a little maintenance, so I figured I would do a quick video showing how I clean and reload the stopping compound to get it evenly distributed across the entire surface of the strop.
