It's a made in China copy of the Glock field knife. Is it any good?

Is it worth a try? I believe it gives you a variety of sit/stand positions as you work from home. Unlike a more permanent solution, you can set this up anywhere. A small correction... it is all metal except all the joints are plastic. There is also a small platform for a mouse that I do not use.

Cold Steel Peace Maker II Review + Use

This is an older design from Cold Steel's budget line. Other reviewers have not been impressed, but I love it. It gives tons of performance for the price, and the sheath is not bad, either! I remeasured the spine and got 2.9mm thickness.

This is what I use if I want to travel light. I have a 9'x6' tarp made out of Tyvek. Instead of grommets, I use wooden beads that are fastened with a double-overhand knot noose. A basic overhand loop is staked down to the ground. I use a half pyramid pitch, which provides good protection. In case you are wondering, I use a clove hitch to secure the cord to my walking stick.

The lack of carbon steel steers me clear of this variant
Thanks for the very helpful video and the good tips. I ride the Razor A6 and after my good experiences with the Razor A6 I also bought the Razor A5.
well at 200mm that bump has to be big to stop you. going off the 1/4 rule 200mm wheels can handle a 50mm bump. this about 1.9 inches. So deck height is the limiting factor. I have scooter with 100mm wheels it can handle bumps about 25mm in size. 200mm wheels should handle ruff side walks no problem.
@@spark300c that is not my experience. One inch is enough to give a very unpleasant jolt and toss you if you are caught off guard. Get one and put your theory to the test.
@@theWZZA I am put my theory to the with models. I ride scooters. Also about speed and shocks. shocks help take the jolt out. the side walk I riding on has bumps as big 20 to 25mm. So around 3/4 of an inch. so So with 100mm wheels that 1/5 ratio. with out shocks you have hit at slower speed. with 200mm wheels at slow speed you should get over one inch bump. which almost 1/8 ratio.
I did about 1.6 miles in this same time, pretty happy with that specially with the slight amount of uphill in there. Really fast convenient way to get around and after I sat down for 5 minutes I didn't feel like I expended much energy at all. Also I had a lot of fun in the process.
@@KandiKlover I don't worry about speed any more. It's more important to enjoy the ride like you did.
Check out the a5 prime, has an anti rattle system
@@Sandii_x I think the base model is the best bang for your buck, but premium features may be worth it to some people.
Wow I forgot that before scooter stuff I watched this video from you back in 2016 when I got my swisschamp.
Do another video please. 4 years of commuting now :3
@@KandiKlover I'm still riding my scooter... Nothing has changed!
@@theWZZA and we still like to watch that :D I finally got around to getting my own recently, CityGlide.
I wonder how this compares to the Carbon Lux. Grateful that these big wheel commute style scooters are finally starting to make it into my backwater town. Used to be impossible to find, though I saw the CityGlide scooter on sale at Big5 for slightly less then razor and the longer deck and aluminum instead of steel appealed to me so I got it instead, it also seems better built.
@@kishascape I don't know about other models, but my A5 is still going, and I still ride it regularly.
@@theWZZAshould regularly keep make videos. Need more of this kind of scootering content.
@@kishascape Unlikely. UA-cam makes money off my content, and I get nothing.
Hello gray t it seems u and i have the same ride ❤
Thanks bro, this was so good, and now i have a cool sling i can use. (Im a bit late though 😂)
It works very well, i tried it in the forest and i was able to launch rocks extremely far
Baffles me why they didn't have a better steel option
Very informative, thanks!
Ì use a micro punch to repeen the pivot and bolster pins on knives that have loosened up. I took a 1/8" long shank punch and put it in my drill press on low speed and filed it to size and polished it as it was spinning in order to not get it off center. I have several in diffetent diameters to fit different knife brands and models. You can use a nail also. File it to size, then harden the end. It works just fine but doesn't last long.
what super glue do you use?
It doesn't work... Don't bother.
Then the average person throws the knife away because its ruined. In my opinion I can live with a little blade loosness.
Are they actually use this in military since it's called military knife? How good would you say this knife to kill people? Is your name G.wang?
You know if a person don't know what the hell they're doing they don't need to waste people's time on the internet UA-cam
Very nice. I wish Victorinox would add a second layer to this knife for scissors! That would make it perfect for me. Bantam X!
That is a good idea. I always have a Classic SD on my key ring, which compliments the Bantam well.
Came across this video when looking for info on how to do it with a slip joint old-time knife. Worked great. My knife isn't nearly as wobbly as it was. Thank you fir the video bud
Interesting video. I’m 66 now. And started out in a very tough generic scooter. I gave it to the youngsters after 15 years. I’m using Micro-Scooters now. Mainly because they’re available locally to me. I always pack on in the car. I have two. A 145mm wheel one, and the 200mm/ 8 inch wheel versions. I also use electric scooters too. But can scoot up to 10 miles no problem. I also use your little foot trick to change feet. I’m a size 11, so space is limiited. The workout one gets from scooter riding is very good for all the muscles.
Was Interesting. Watched your Bantam SAK video. Just bought an alox version. Good to know it works for us left-handed people.
Excellent honest and REAL review! I was expecting those wheels to crack, the rubber to debead and or the bearing holes to get loose causing it to tilt while turning, hitting the frame. I've had all of those happen to me with normal sized scooter wheels, and I am not heavy.
I'm still riding my razor to work. It's going strong
I use the bottom of a coffee cup to sharpen knives. 🖖🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for posting 🙏
Great vid, thanks for posting. The tables presented a lot of information that was easy to process.
I have a question if I have an older model razor A5 one without a kickstand what I be able to fit any type of pneumatic tire on there
I would use a punch and you wouldn't need to puff out any hammer damage.
I've ordered one of these to experiment with getting from airport, near my home, to my house. It's 9km. 2.5km on quiet sealed road, the rest on bike track. Should save a bit of time waiting for transport & it's a stunning track. Will see.
I hope you have a good time. You might want to build up to that distance if you are not used to riding a kick scooter.
Thanks. I run that distance a lot so I figure that a bit of kicking & rolling will close the distance quicker with less effort. Worth a try!@@theWZZA
@@Gusto0172 I'm sure you will do fine, especially if you are under 40. I run also; riding a kick scooter taxes the body differently. When I started, I tried to do 15 or 16 kph. Nowadays, I do more like 12 kph, maintaining an easy cruising speed without pushing too hard.
Finally a great video, just got a A6 and was wondering how long it's going to last especially the PU wheels.
They last a long time, don't worry 😊
I just got the A6 yesterday too from Amazon. Been rainy up here in the Toronto area today, so couldn't take it for a spin just yet.
I have two A5's (hard and air tyre). Just bought an A6 out of curiosity - heard it rolled approx. 30% more than the A5. First test ride today and...disappointed. I really can't see any significant difference between the two...except the price! Early days yet but so far I prefer the A5 - more nimble and a bit lighter.
Thanks for sharing your findings 👍
This old dog just picked up a A6 Razor cheap on ebay to help with mobility and assistance back home from the new monorail.😅
Have fun and be careful 👍👍👍
Can I use this to do food delivery about 3-5days a week for 10h?
My laundry unboxing room mora stainless is always sharp by back stroping on folded over box top. Cleans off tape glue also. I love my old hickory knives for kitchen
so proud of you , you prove people like you can do anything normal people can do ! #supportspecial needs
Thanks for watching my video!
Big ups for keepin real in these bay area stroads and not being a teslatechtard.
I have that exact knife and was wondering it’s model and history
Great video. I've just thought of trying a scooter since the bike lanes in my city are sketchy, and bike theft is rampant. So much easier to store and take anywhere.
I just got back from a trip to my local sporting goods store, 3 miles round trip. It was nice. Be safe out there.
Great video! I like the comments. I got my A6 a few weeks ago and the last leg of my commute to work is 2.4 miles. I was debating about it because I don’t want to arrive all sweaty. I’ve done it on my bikes but having to change trains in the middle forces me to go down the stairs and then up another set of stairs. The scooter should solve that. Your station looks like my transfer station in Oakland CA: MCArthur BART station. Lucky you having all those biking lanes. Further inland we have them but no maintenance and cars flying at 50 mph by you. I use the sidewalks because they are smoother and wide. Your video helped me make up my mind. I’ll scoot more times a week to work. Thanks.
This is a good review
Any upgrade yet? Have you tried A5 air razor kick scooter 🛴yet?
I've ordered a Razor A5 Lux, which is on the way. Q: Are those Dragon Endure bearings the 608 with 22m diameter, 8mm center and 7mm width? I presume I don't need any spacers, but do I need the "tool" package?
You don't need any extra spacers. Just pay attention when you disassemble the wheels. Having two 5 mm hex keys is nice for bearing change (the scooter should come with one). I watched this video for changing bearings, but there are others: ua-cam.com/video/TeTurS_KWLs/v-deo.html
Thank you great review just what I was looking for
I have this knife, manufactured 2019. It does not have any of the issues you describe. Very fine in all areas.. Not $32 anymore though. I got it on sale for $50. Seems to be discontinued as of this writing-- 3/2023. There are still some to be had in th e$50 - $70 range.
Nice job. Did you use the snap gadget?
Excellent video. Im turning 34 this month and began kick scooting in december of 2022. I wish i would have started sooner! It's nice to find an adult kick scooting community here on youtube. 🛴🛴
You are using the wire stripper wrong. Put the wire in the notch and then bring the knife blade over to the wire to cut the insulation on the wire.
Really? Have you tried it my way? If it works, why is it "wrong?" I think you are just parroting other youtubers, who parrot each other. Some fine wires are a twist of 3 or 4 very thin wires. Doing it the way you described will chop the wires partially, if not completely. Try both ways and get back to me. Think for yourself.
Awesome video, really appreciate the way you were thorough and precise with important info. Very professional method.
This is all cool but what made you choose a kick scooter over a bicycle or escooter?
Kick scooter weighs 8 lbs. How much more does a bike or e-scooter weigh? How much bigger, more expensive, higher maintenance, are they? Kick scooter is good exercise, too. It can't get stolen because I can take it with me everywhere. For 1-2 miles, kick scooter works fine.
@@theWZZA those are some valid points
your telling me i can use this around my neck? 😻!! This is a win, win for me!!
