That's Hot![]()
"but I was ticked off and drunk."
then just edit it. I sure as hell wouldn't want everything said or did while drunk immortalized on the internets!)) I know that comments like that are very hurtful to Gianni who is not only a very nice gentle craftsman but stands behind his products and family business. Me? I am used to drunk #$&&holes
) Unless you are stoned child soldier holding a loaded AK to my balls I really dont' pay close attention to insults. I will tell you that we will take care of any concerns with our product. No questions asked (OK we may ask you where to send the money)
In any case the web is a dangerous place when you drink and post!)
Why did you just edit out the part above about the OP grand kids not wanting to see his posts on the internet?
The reviewer is an experienced knife owner, has 4000 posts, and has been a member here for 5 years.
And "hurtful"?
Really?
This is a knife review and testing subforum not a pandering corner... imo, requesting edits of others for what may be construed as personal motives is not a good idea.
This knife is honestly really ugly.
You think so? I thought it had a great look to it. It's not sleek like a Benchmade DejaVoo, but I like the look.
Yes, it is. I happen to think both the HEST and the ZT are ugly. This is my idea of beautiful.

Hey Horn Dog, I think you missed this part. I probably would have missed it, too if I hadn't carried mine for a day and ran for the adjustment tool when I got home. It makes sense to tighten it down when it's provided with the adjustment tool. I went counter clockwise not even a quarter turn and almost all of my problems went away.Some advice. The HEST/F was shipped with the tension tightened because savvy customers were concerned that some states, countries grab knives they deem as flippable. You have a free tool that allows you to adjust to the correct tension.
Yes, but come on now, Esav, tell the truth: You think that Randall is beautiful, right?
It's true, it's true. Against my better judgment, this will be my next knife, and you can just feel the Scagel oozing out of the pores of it:

Let me know how it goes, I went through my first day of carrying it, then put a nice half inch long cut across the end of my right hand's thumb. I won't be working on mine for at least a few days. =\Thanks. That was the first thing I did when I saw how stiff it was. It is still a beast to open. I have two hand opened and closed it about 300 times.
