How About a Review of the FreeReign?

[Blues]

The current 3V version is whispering to me...but I have so many fixed blades already, I'm looking to convince myself why I should add another. (I'm definitely weakening...especially since it carries the Demko name.)

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with your own FreeReigns.

Here's a new video that Andrew and John Demko put out:

It has to be the best buy for a USA made 3V knife that also happens to be a great design, great ergos, great sheath…..oh- and a handle that will be awesome in cold/wet.

I don’t ‘need’ any, but plan to get more just because it is a great knife at a great price imo.

Coming from you, B, that's a strong endorsement.

(Guilty admission...my will power only goes so far.)

I have a Taiwan aus10 freereign and a usa made 3v version. different steels, same sheaths same handles. good knives. good size blade for general use. incredible sheath. it takes what the secure ex failed at and solves it. can take it apart and clean sand and grit out. that's a huge advantage down here. its all the sugar sand that gets in just from using it to cut anything thats covered in it....and even wind blowing it around, gets in the sheath.

I like my Carothers field knife and use it a lot, but this one is a near tie favorite.

Thanks, JB. I remember you had one...didn't realize you had two. Great info on the sheath.

Should be here Tuesday.

Very impressive test results , and very rewarding to see that Demko is doing them again !

However : I need another knife of this category , Like I need another random orifice .

Still , I'll be interested ,maybe someday, in a used one or crazy cheap sale price .

I have a AUS10 and a Magnacut Free Reign and they are both excellent fixed blade knives! I actually want to pick up a 3V version as well. You can never have too many great knives!! On a side note, I love how Andrew tests this knife so nonchalantly...with a 3 pound steel mallet! LOL! Great stuff! These knives definitely deserve to wear the Demko name!

There are a few highly respected makers that take the time to demonstrate their knives in this way. I'm really happy to see Andrew and John producing these videos to show what their wares are capable of. Kudos to them.
