Here's my unboxing/review of my new JYD from RamZar.
Here it is on my kitchen table in 2 days flat. Nice!
Here I am opening it:
It's a biggun!
It's bigger than my Blur, which was my largest folder to date:
It's a handful, but pretty comfy. The G10 is nicely textured, but not too rough. The flipper works well with a little bit of a wrist flick (it's a lotta blade to get moving
). The flipper has some nice jimping that gives good grip for opening, but it's not to rough on the finger.
It opens with a nice solid thwack and locks up nice and solid. Interestingly enough, the liner lock is also the blade stop. Actually, the liner is so thick it's more like a frame lock with a scale. They even had to do a cutout on the liner like a frame lock to make it work.
The blade is the weld pattern I prefer, which is pretty cool. The top half is pretty similar to the Blur, but the bottom is a drop point style instead, which should be easier to sharpen (I'm not that great at sharpening yet).
Presumably it's used, but I couldn't tell. RamZar, did you use this thing at all? Also, it's supposed to be a Blem, but the only things I could find wrong were the weld was slightly uneven and the grind was slightly wavy on one side. Not complaining, just an observation.
All in all, pretty cool giveaway that I'm really excited to have won.
