Steel Will Knives

[22-rimfire]

Anyone have any experience with this brand? I picked up the small Cutjack (3" M390 flipper, G10 handles) the other day and it seems like a really nice little knife. I noticed they carry both a Chinese line as well as their more expensive line that I believe are Italian made. This knife is Italian.

Noticed that KSF and Knifeworks carry the brand.

If you like it, it’s good. I don’t have any of their knives but have heard good things.

I had a mini-Gekko for a while. It was a fine knife with absolutely perfect F&F. The blade was N690Co. It had perfectly even bevels and was shaving sharp. There was no blade play and the lockup was very solid.

I sold it because I'm overloaded with knives in that size range but it was a hard decision and I'd have no qualms about buying another Italian-made Steel Will.

I haven't tried one but I'm looking forward to trying their upcoming ANT lock model(s).

I was rather meh towards them, until I found a trade opportunity for a Mini Gekko, and basically as soon as I got my hands on the knife I fell in love. I'm pretty apathetic towards a backlock, with only 1 knife I have making one that feels good, the AG Russell Gent's Lockback 2. The rest I have or have had just felt stiff. The Mini Gekko now makes a second lockback that feels smooth and free. The blade is ground symmetrical and thin, it slices like a champ, and the opening and closing are excellent for a lockback.

I went from not really caring about Steel Will to loving them immensely.

My Steel Will (Cutjack model) is a liner lock. I looked at their frame locks too. The Cutjack seems well made, very sharp (factory edge), no blade play, centered closed, and generally good F&F. Blade opens easily. Seems like a good knife which of course why I bought it. I had never heard of the brand before I purchased it. I handled it before buying. It has a serial number.

i dont have one yet, but was looking at the modus that hasnt released yet (after some reviews i may get it depending on the qc seen by others). its basically a cutjack with carbon fiber and m390 on bearings with some small changes.

viper knives make them, and they have a reputation of poor quality control. but so far i havent heard many reviews for the cutjack. the few reviews i have heard were all positive.

the D2 models are on PB washers and made in china. unsure which factory (does anyone else know).
