Hi All,

I just finished up another video overview and written review for the Rockstead TEI-S DLC. Thanks for watching!

As per usual, there is a more detailed write up on the site : http://www.edgeobserver.com/?p=650
 
Great video! That was the closest thing to a knife porno I have ever seen (though I note we didn't witness the blade actually penetrating anything). :D

Once again informative and entertaining.

Ha ha, Thanks for watching! Maybe I'll work on a money shot for the next video.
 
i'd like to see pics with some other knives or common items to get a sense of the scale. it seems to be thicker in the handle than i had imagined, how does it feel in the pocket?
 
Great write up, this knife is high up on my to get list, main issue is the price and where to get one in the states.

Just did up a quick pic for you on a size comparison. The knife is a little bit bulkier but I find the rounded edges keep it comfortable. It is pretty comparable to the BM Barrage in over all feel in the pocket.

Thanks for the kind words! I think the best place to buy in the US is at shows that Rockstead is attending... They have a list of shows on their website....
 
Awesome video-review, as always! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

As you already know, I'm a big fan of Rockstead, also owning a TEI-S and I can confirm it's the sharpest knife I've ever handled and I have a few custom made, hand-ground, hand-polished folders for comparison.

Same goes for the pivot - it doesn't get smoother than that, amazing engineering and tolerances :cool:

Keep up the excellent video-reviews; I for one enjoy them tremendously ;)

very nice made and informative review,

the knife is wurth every penny, it is really quality build, even after much use

i start to get a feeling for a DLC one, now
 
Man that is a sexy, classy looking blade! Not sure it's worth the price, but that is all a matter of opinion.

I love the finish on it and would be scared to use it else risk scratching the blade.

I decided not to keep it as a "museum piece" and have started to put it into my daily rotation. So far, so good. It will be a long time before I can decide if it's worth the price but I'm very inclined to think so.. The cutting performance is pretty awesome. I have seen videos where they push the blade through thin-ish phone book type books and thick rope and had to give it a go; it's ridiculous how easily it does it... :thumbup: Amazing blade. We'll have to see both how well it holds up and more importantly to me, how easily I can maintain the edge....

Great! It will be good to see how well the finish holds up from EDC use. I bet the mirror edge is very scratch resistant, but not sure how resistant.
 
lol that knife is insanely sexy.. and I think I just choked on my beer.. price tag on that look like around $5000 american? LOL are you f'ing kidding.. I hope I found incorrect information.. otherwise that is just silly... at that price it better swallow and wipe me.
