Always thought the detent was too weak on mine. Easy to "miss a flip", but works fine if I concentrate. 😉
Maybe I need to pop it open and do some fiddling…..
The Pilar is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re feeling better!
Another crkt I’ve been really impressed with was the Avant, gotta thumb disk and a flipper with nice accents and really good action for the price
Crkt seriously needs to upgrade their materials, awesome designs made with junk pot metal, aus8 is not an upgrade damnit!
How bout a review of the Pilar 3?
Vox designs some of my favorites knives. I usually answer quickly “Jesper Voxnaes” when asked who my favorite knife designer is. Pilar (I was told it’s Peh-larr) is a gateway knife, for sure.
Liked that model i have bought several other crkt knives for presents
You should review the Pillar 3
I disliked this video because of the Pilar, not you MC. 😘👌
CRKT is as bad as Gerber. Maybe worse. Possibly the worst knives on the planet. Honestly, instagram Pakistan Damascus is way better.
I have been thinking about grabbing one of them would you be so kind when you do your review and place it up against the ordinary one just so we can see the size difference. Keep them sweet blades coming at us brother it’s always nice to see the diversity you show not just high end but middle and low as well 👍
great looking knife the pilar a awesome little knife. they have 3 different sizes now
now I want it
The cleaver shape has always detracted me. It gives me those mall knife vibes.
I lost my small one, if the pilarge didn't have a pocket pecker if really want one.
I love copper scales and stuff and been interested in the copper Pilar. May pick one up now.
I haven’t pulled the trigger on this one yet and am looking forward to your review.
How about a comparison with the Kizer Sheepdog or Sheepdog XL and the Gerber Flatiron. I absolutely love these blade profiles.
Looks cool, for 50$ I'd rather buy another Elementum
99% of what CRKT makes is junk, Pilar is part of the 1%.
Weird that you sound just like Steven Crowder from Louder with Crowder. Hmmmm
I want the fancy one I think it's the 3rd model??
Did u ever review the fossil by them
That pilar is also on IKBS
I can't wait to get in on sending a knife through your channel, the process involves you getting first for first impressions and short review….love it love it love it.THANKS FOR SHARING
