Opening the Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Knife at 240 frames per second-Video

[Trenchknife]

Hi Everyone,
I hope this is OK to post this here. I work in television and wanted to try shooting a high frame rate shot of me opening some of my knives. So, we shot various knives and the Umnumzaan was one of those knives. We shot this video on the Sony FS700 camera in 1080p at 240FPS (frames per second). I also posted this in the Knife Reviews & Testing forum. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Kirk

Fun. :thumbup: I have to admit, I did a little cringe as you adjusted your grip after flipping the knife...there's a lot of blade and a lot of flesh in pretty close proximity on the way to a good grip.

Neat - and I like the chosen background.

It would be cool to see some up-close of the lockbar to blade action then the mechanism is working in slow motion as well.

Cool video, thanks for posting.
