I wanted to try swapping out the bearings and pocket clip on the Smock replica that I got from OKK. The Skiff bearings worked great, but the pocket clip was a big fail.
Cut Test: Civivi Vision FG
Cut Test: Civivi Vision FG
This is the first video in a brand new series that I want to do this year to see how the blade steel on some of the replica knives compares to the steel on “real” (non-replica) knives. You’ll see that I borrow some of the ideas and test materials from Stassa23’s channel. He has some really great videos where he tests all kinds of knives (but not replicas). I’m still trying to figure out the best way to shoot these videos, so this first one isn’t exactly perfect. Maybe you guys can give me some suggestions on how to make them better. But before we can get to testing some replicas, I need to test some real knives to use as a baseline for future comparisons. I was actually a little disappointed that this Vision didn’t last a little longer than it did in these tests. Let me know what you think.
