An absolute beast when it comes to beefiness. Definitely on the larger end of knives but what can you expect with a knife called a "Rhino". Fits well in the hand, detent is good despite the big heavy blade. Overall one of my favourite pieces in my collection
It's a beast alright! I have come to the conclusion that I like flippers with thumb holes the best. On a knife this heavy that flipper tab does a great job of preventing the sharp part of the blade from closing and hence cutting your fingers/thumb.
This is a nice knife. It's a beast. I gave it 5 stars but, if I could, I would have deducted a half a star for two reasons. One, it wasn't sharp enough right out of the box but, three stokes per side on a fine ceramic rod took care of that. Reason two is, the liner and the pocket clip are very shiny. I don't understand why they would put such shiny parts on a knife with FDE handle and a black coated blade. Yup, I'm a picky SOB but, it is a very nice knife and, it will be carried a lot.
Great Knife. Picked this one up on a whim with the brown handle and satin finish. The knife deploys beautifully and smoothly, came well oiled from delivery. Sharp enough to shave the hairs off my arm, and the thumbhole is easy enough to use if you prefer it over a flipper. Only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the detent holding the blade closed isn't quite strong enough for the weight of the blade if you flip it closed too fast/strongly. Otherwise, the knife is perfect.
I LOVE this knife. I want to take this knife to Vermont and marry it. You can marry just about anything you want in Vermont. It has weight, it has smooth action, it has a blade that looks awesome and gives you plenty of functional blade, and it is really comfortable to hold. This is my third Bestech, all of which I've gotten through Massdrop. I've got the Warwolf, the Swordfish, and now the Rhino. This is easily my favorite of the three. Something about the spine of the blade looks a little unfinished to me, but the edge came out of the package razor sharp and I've carried it on and off, haven't touched that edge with a stone, and it is still as sharp today as the day I got it out of the box. It's definitely not for people who like the little tiny, low-weight type knives. But if you are into those "Now that's a knife" type of blades, this one will suit you just fine.
I really meant that I was hoping you weren't a bigot, truly. That's why conversations being typed out are so difficult, and I tired my best to represent my intention. To show I wasn't making any judgement of you personally. I guess I missed the mark. I was just saying that words have power. People don't know your background or intention when they read it on some comment on the internet. They weren't at the wedding. At the wedding everyone had context. Not the same here. You don't agree. I got it. But I didn't come at you. I'm not the morals police, but I do have a different experience from you that shows stuff like this has impact. I saw a chance to let someone know, so I took it. I'm sorry you felt the need to come at me so hard.
Imagine some backwoods (or suburban or whatever) person's perspective and experience- never being able to have personal contact with different people- - not your's (or mine, which seem to be similar). Things like that create their perspective.
Definitely a beefy folder. Fit and finish are great. Action and lock up are fantstic. With the thick blade its a little tank for sure. I don’t mind the weight and overall bigger size but it might be a problem for some. I am very satisfied with another beautiful Bestech
I purchased this knife and ended up passing it to a friend. The fit and finish were good, opening and lock up was solid and I loved the look of it, but it was just too big and heavy for me to use as an EDC. I am 5’6” and 165. He is 6’3” 250. He absolutely loves the knife, it goes with him everywhere. His wife drew the line when he started using it to cut his steak at the dinner table. If Bestech would come out with a version in about ¾ scale I would buy it in a heartbeat.
