原文如下:
I have used the Umnumzaan for a while now and here is my thoughts about it.
First of all, the knife is wonderful to work with. It is very well balanced. The fit and finish of the blade is perfect and the polished edge (ground by mr Reeve himself) is really something special. On my knife is the blade off center and I hate it! It is not much and if I got a Sebenza with the blade off center with a hair or two it wouldn´t disturb me. But I think that these 20 protos deserve to be perfect.
The lock bar travels far more than I would accept on a Sebenza. It is not 50 or 75 percent, more likely 98 percent. I do not know if this is normal on a Umnumzaan because of the ceramic ball system.
1. The glassbreaker: First I did not like it at all. Why put something you never will use in a tool? But now I think that it is a pretty good idea. If you ever need it, it will be there. I do not even notice it in the pocket. It is also a formidable defensive weapon like a pointy kubaton. .
2. The design of the blade: Very useful! You can put the thumb on the back and get a lot of cutting power. The sharp swedge is great! I had some worries about it because you can touch it when the knife is closed. But I have not been cut yet and I have used the knife a lot and I have also heard that the swedge not will be exposed on the final production model. The swedge edge works like a small sheepfooth blade and it is very useful. The whole blade design is perfect. It is more pointy than a regular Sebenza but seems also to have more of a belly. I have used it for fishing, hunting (small game and birds), a lot of kitchen work, camping, hiking, For me is the Umnumzaan a folding survival knife.
3. The new pivot: Like the rest of you I love the bushing system on the Sebenza. But since I got my Umnumzan I have been thinking a lot about plus and minus with the bushing. Plus is of course that you can take the knife apart and put it together very easy and it eliminates also the need of locktite. Minus is that you can´t choose how much you want to tighten the pivot. When I looked closer at my folders with bushing I found one more minus I never have been thinking about before. Nearly all of them have some sideplay if I lift the lockbar. Even my large Sebenza and my Lochsa has some play. The only one completely without play is a small classic. To me it looks like some play is a part of the deal if you buy a knife with bushing. I think that the oversized new pivot is worth to give a chance. I do not like the use of locktite. But on some of my Benchmades (It was my first quality knives) I used to make small "washers" of rubber and put them under the head of the pivot screw, It works very good and I never needed to use locktite on them – maybe I will try the same thing with my Umnumzaan.
4. The handle: The design is modern and the deep grooved handle gives a more secure grip than the Sebenza. The problem is that the grooved handle also kills the pockets. It is really a big problem! Even if you lift the clip and slides the knife down in the pocket the handle will destroy the pocket on the way out. I guess that mr Reeve will solve the problem with his final model. In my eyes makes the grooved handle the knife more or less impossible to EDC if you don´t use some kind of pouch.
5. The thumb lug: Is used for opening the knife blade as well as serving as the stop pin. Around each lug is a polyurethane o-ring. Grant and Gavin Hawk also use polyurethane at the stop pin of the RAM. The RAM is a formidable flipper and I think that the polyurethane serves as a very useful shock absorber. But why use this material on the Umnumzaan? I am not sure. Maybe is mr Reeve tired of all questions about if it is ok to flip open the knives he makes. Maybe is it also a good thing that the knife opens without a sound if you work as a police or in the army. Maybe is it possible to do some light chopping with the Umnumzaan without destroying it? |
