Review Harnds CK9168 Talisman
Introduction
The knife that i present to you
today, can not be any other than... special. Special in different senses that
we will be weeding little by little. The most ambitious of Harnds to date.
The Harnds brand is known for
folder knives with quite success as the Harnds Ck6015 Viper or the Harnds
CK7006 Blazer (the latter with a lot of quality but not much sold for its size
and weight, one thing is a critical success and another a sales success... ).
With the Talisman model we have the highest level knife of the brand so far,
leaving the group Ganzo, Enlan etc. And trying to compete with brands like Real
Steel.
Let us begin…
Exterior design and appearance
Well, I have to say, that in
designs there is nothing written, and some can be very attractive to some
people and the same be horrible to others. In my case, as i have said before,
my favorite opening of a folder knife is with a flipper, although sometimes it
does not go as smoothly as it should and leaves the blade half open or you have
to use a lot of wrist. I like "flippers" for both aesthetics and
functionality, for me is the most comfortable way to open. But aesthetically
there is something of a knife that i can like even more, and that's when the
incredible combination of "flipper" + "absence of thumb studs"
is given, i love that. But unfortunately there are hardly any models in Chinese
quality brands (Enlan, Ganzo, Harnds, Sanrenmu...) that meet those two
requirements, in fact, one of the things i love about the Enlan EL01 is that.
Well, here we have another model with "flipper" and no "thumb
studs", creating an impressive aesthetic and even giving the feeling that
the blade is going to be able to use more, for example if you pierce deeply,
the “thumb studs” will not interfere.
