 Not sure how to address that. I suppose there's a way to adjust it, but for $300 it's a little ridiculous that I have to do so much to get a usable knife. Also, the factory edge doesn't seem to be that great. I've only used it to open a few Amazon packages and slice an apple or two and I've noticed that it already isn't slicing through printer paper like it was out of the box

So I'm new to knives in general and the Waypoint was my first. I was drawn to the ergonomics as well as the extremely corrosion resistant blade. The raving reviews from Nick Shabazz, Metal Complex, and others hyped me up considerably, so I ordered the black G10 version from the website. 

 Especially the Spydiechef. They have about the same amount of activity on them and their edges held up much better and still sliced paper well before I returned them. 

Disappointed in my Quiet Carry Waypoint

 That are using Vanek super clean right now I don't know of anybody. Who'S used, LC, 200. In liner-lock I mean what they've got here is like the ultimate EDC size and profile, mixed with something that is essentially invincible against corrosion resistance and, at the same time, has an edge geometry that emphasizes cutting performance above anything else that I have ever seen. I mean the the slice enos of this thing like oh and it is Vaughn

 Sorry. This is why I don't like satin blades guys finger prints, it's just gross wonderful, absolutely wonderful! I mean nitpicks there's that little area right there that we talked about earlier has a ever so slight point just a little bit and yeah. The tip is a little bit delicate, but that's going to be the case on a knife that was designed for slicing efficiency. I don't know that I can complain now

 Before the sentence structure there was awful but yeah the this knife is thinner behind the edge than I think any that I have shown on the channel up to this point. How'S that my goodness yeah this is a freaking laser beam. Guys I mean this knife, I mean even if it does start to go, you know if it drops down to working edge and then eventually caveman edge. The geometry of this knife alone will still pass through material with efficiency

 This is EDC. By definition, oh my gosh maxed out right now. I understand a lot of people like to EDC bigger blades right, but you know once if you're looking to just carry a simple cutting tool with you right and it needs to cut, but it needs to stay in your pocket and be you know, convenient thing to Get out and use and put away right and you're, just gon na be using it for simple tasks. This is yeah

Quiet Carry Waypoint - Overview and Review

 but yeah, that satin looks fantastic. You can see even after my torture test yesterday, there is no evidence of corrosion on there anywhere. Absolutely Zero. We've got the LC 200 n liner in there as I mentioned I Love that this is a liner lock and not a frame lock

 Yeah, that's the only. We're on the finish after carrying and using this extensively for a couple of weeks now. And and I don't mean just like carrying it to an office job and then sitting in a chair with it I've been I've been really carrying and using this knife, so there it is. that's the Quiet carry

 I give you my opinions on it because I think it's only fair that I actually test this before I before I kind of stand behind that heards I say about it. Anywho, I've used this knife a lot I've done a lot of cutting with it I've put it through a bunch of cardboard I used it on a big like a cardboard craft project that I did last week where I literally like I was cutting cardboard for half the day and it was fantastic. For that, it's been fantastic for every EDC task I've thrown at it I've got cord with it I've tried feather sticking with it just for fun I've put this knife through the wringer and some people have said that this edge retention on Vanek's is comparable, maybe slightly below some people say. maybe slightly better then the Steel's like M390 20 CV those kind of common super steel standards at this point and I don't have real data to go behind to tell you whether it is or it isn't But what I can say is I've I own and have owned plenty of knives and steels like M390 20 CV and for me, with those Steel's it's not like I'm putting edges on them all the time

 so I stuck it in a glass of lemonade For another hour, pulled it out, rinsed it off, nothing happened. You can watch that video as fun, but I feel like now I've done enough testing on this for its corrosion resistance properties and its edge retention properties to make an actual concise review. It's very important to me, by the way that I don't just review knives without using them and experiencing them. If I ever do that, it would be because it's like a borrowed knife and I'll be very clear about that, but my experience with it is limited before

Quietcarry Waypoint Full Review!

I have a Gent and some other cheaper knives. I'm getting my grail watch soon, got my grail pen and I want a fancy knife. Thing is I don't every really use it much. I don't need fancy blade steels, honestly you could give me an aluminum blade I probably wouldn't notice for a year

 Just something with nice fit and finish and will cut through a piece of tape once a week. I like the simple, straight line, gentlemanly looking knives.

 It just feels so good. The fact that this blade is that thin already i mean it's got to be like what point nine. On the stock .09, sorry let me zero this thing out

 This is my maliblue channel knife channel mascot right, you can see the size comparison, they're, pretty much dead, nuts in terms of size, and this i'm fairly positive, is a 3.3 inch. Blade is what it's advertised, as so you're. Looking at 3

 I needed right. Opening bags of uh uh fertilizer opening bags of uh mulch whatever right this was there, and it did an absolutely fantastic job while not having issues with rust right um. You know one of the things people complain about with van x is it's not as tough as say, lc 200n, which is also rust proof, but your trade-off is van x, has better edge retention right uh and for me, that's more important because of the things i'm Doing cutting bags cutting you know paper a lot of shipping labels guys my knives go through tons of shipping. Those the tip is very important to me, uh and where it is in terms of relationship to my hand, right um, but i'm not i'm not chopping trees down, i'm not cutting into tough material with staples in it

HISTORY & HERITAGE 
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.".

America's Test Kitchen

Our previous winner turned in another gold medal performance: “Every slice is perfect,” said one tester. It was comfortable and sharp, with a long, tall blade that was “just flexible enough so you feel like it’s doing what you tell it to.”

Testers found this small knife best suited for more minor kitchen tasks such as slicing an apple. Its thin, bendy blade reminded us of a boning knife and, indeed, its flexibility and stature made it dexterous enough to easily and comfortably break down a chicken. However, this flexibility required testers to apply more force to keep the blade steady, which meant it took longer to chop onions, mince parsley, and cube butternut squash. This knife is well suited for someone who doesn’t have a lot of confidence using a traditional chef’s knife. But for those doing a significant amount of chopping, slicing, or mincing, we still recommend our favorite 8-inch chef’s knife.

Still the best—and a bargain—after 20 years, this knife’s “super-sharp” blade was “silent” and “smooth,” even as it cut through tough squash, and it retained its edge after weeks of testing. Its textured grip felt secure for a wide range of hand sizes, and thanks to its gently rounded edges and the soft, hand-polished top spine, we could comfortably choke up on the knife for “precise,” “effortless” cuts.

"There's a reason we have 20 or 30 of these in this kitchen," said a tester; others agreed, calling it "Old Faithful." They found it notably sharp, with "great maneuverability." In sum: "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."

Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife) Pioneer -will last a lifetime and can be passed down. It’s all metal, very classy. Not American made, Swiss made.

My husband turns 40 next month, and I’d like to get nice him a long-lasting (preferably American made) gift.  I’m not talking sports car or anything, but we do okay and it doesn’t have to be inexpensive.  I just want to get him something that will give several years of joy and use.  Has anyone received anything like that?  Thanks for your help

Suggestions for a nice present

 As that utters the tool useless if they break. You can work with it, but not long afterwords. My latest is the leatherman wave due to these problems.  UPDATE: I dont use this anymore as the scales broke off and the knife bent a little

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife, Black Victorinox Large Pocket Knife Clip Pouch, Leather Black 33210 Carrying Case (Pouch) for Knife - Brown   Update, 11/27/2020 Even though I use this knife every day, usually several times a day, it’s still just like new. Owning this model Swiss Army knife is like having a miniature toolbox on your belt.  This is the third Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp pocket knife that I've owned. I carried the last two SwissChamps in a black leather Victorinox Pocket Knife Clip Pouch (B000HJKT9Q)

 This leather case has a belt loop, rather than a clip. Before I ordered this pouch, I read a number of the many great reviews on Amazon. One of the reviewers, "Tool Collector," noted that the SwissChamp was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. "Tool Collector" suggested using Neatsfoot Oil to soften the leather of this case

 Wanting to avoid scratching the new knife's shinny new ABS scales, I purchased a bottle of Neatsfoot oil to have on hand for when the new case and knife arrived.  When I received my new SwissChamp, and the Swiss Army leather case, I was disappointed to see a number of large scratches on both of the ABS scales (grips). The SwissChamp, which arrived in a sealed Victorinox cardboard box, wasn't wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper, or anything else. While I'm not sure how the scratches actually happened, I suspect it may have occurred during shipping

Beautifully Made, Compact, Multi-Tool

 I would recommend the purchase of the applicable leather sheath. Although the knife is not excessively heavy it is a little bulky and more suited to belt carry for EDC use.

 but I think the scales are going to be a problem over time no matter how you carry it.

A valuable tool. 2 year review. pro's and cons

 I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it. And (2:) The Price. I paid at the time about $73 which is a lot but to be honest, even though you get a lot of functions, it seems a bit steep

 Not strong but flimsy plastic. It will no doubt break if dropped while open. I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there?
