First, appearance evaluation
Tekut is a rising star in the outdoor tool session. If everyone is a little unfamiliar with it, then Narday flashlight should be familiar with it. Actually, Tekut and NexTorch are sub-brands of Baiyuan. Familiar with Baiyuan's friends, we all know that Tekut's knives are a high-grade choice for home camping, wild adventure, diving search and rescue, and tactical training. Just like this Dick Tough knives, designed for high-strength use, let's meet together.
Open the packing box and present the acrylic material box in front of it. The humanized top hanging ring design is easy for users to hang around without being easily lost.
The plastic slot in the box is well designed according to the shape of the tool. The tool is accurately stuck inside and the card position is firm.
From the blade to the tool holder's overall molding process, the plain low-key appearance contrasts sharply with the cold edges of the knife, as if it were an amazing connotation for people to tell their ordinary appearance.
Each tool has a unique serial number, because the test products jointly launched with the equipment cool, the prominent position of the blade is equipped with a cool LOGO, which indicates that the tool can be customized according to customer needs personalized LOGO, to meet the different groups of people Needs.
The meaning of “TOUGH†on the back of the knife blade translated as “strong, firm and strong†is the best interpretation of the Tekut knife.
It is said that it is a patent-protected telescopic clip that is easy to conceal and carry in a pocket. Personally feel this feature is a tasteless, the portability and concealment of the insert pocket did not find too bright, but if you do not use gloves (especially cut, thorn movement), the expansion clip is very easy to clamp your hand.
As a light-weight tool with a weight of only 134.68 grams, it is enough to meet ordinary people's climbing and crossing, camping and other outdoor activities to cut away shrubs and herbaceous plants such as chaotic rattan bamboo, and serve as a personal life and even a knife for corruption.
Second, tool performance testing
Name: Dick TOUGH
Tool Model: LK5280 EDC Folding Knife
Exact weight: 134.68 g
Expanded length: 200mm
Folding length: 110mm
Blade material: Sandvik 12c27 stainless steel
Blade length: 90mm
Knife back thickness: 3.2mm
Blade hardness: HRC57～59
The Dick TOUGH is a lightweight survival tool for daily life and outdoor travel. The knife handle is 110mm long, and the net weight is less than 135g. It is very convenient to hold it in your hand or store it in your pocket. For an adult palm, the size and weight are just right.
1. Blade:
Dick TOUGH opened the angle is too small (about 1mm edge, the knife on the right side of the shiny knife blade is the blade), double-sided edge, it also determines that its blade cutting ability is stronger, slightly thicker than the thumb Branches, a total of 13 knives are easily cut into shapes. Because of the small opener, destined to Dick Tough is not suitable for heavy cutting work, so designed in the use of cutting or hacking, the blade is easy to have a missing corner (because the knife is not like Nepalese type of machete, so did not do violent cuts劈 test).
There is anti-slip tooth at the joint between the back of the blade and the handle. During the cutting process using the cutter, pressing the anti-slip tooth with the thumb can make the cutting more powerful. (In order to highlight the anti-slip tooth, the thumb of the photo intentionally does not press on the anti-slip tooth)
2, fake blade:
The false edge is to grind like a blade at the back of the blade, but it is not sharpened. The Dick TOUGH's false-finger polished less, basically retained the knife back thickness, this design ensures that the strength of the entire knife will not be reduced, the other hand does not have much discomfort on the back of the knife. The simple grinding is to lighten the weight of the blade, which causes the center of gravity to move back and ensure the attack performance of the tool.
3, knife tip:
The Dick TOUGH's tip is designed as an inverted T-head to ensure that the tool tip is at the center of the cutting edge and forms a cutting arc. This design not only ensures a good cutting ability of the cutting edge, but also ensures that the tip has superior puncture capacity and puncture hardness. , Experiments with small camphor trees, 30cm flying knife puncture eucalyptus can penetrate 10mm, barefoot puncture cypress wood, can pierce 32mm, indicating that the knife tip puncture ability is strong, fully meet the daily use of knives, camping, fighting (do not Used in illegal ways).
It is also because the inverted T head design has a small angle of the knife tip and strong puncture ability, so it is not suitable for the need of often digging, picking things up, cutting the tip of a knife, or digging hard objects, or when the load is too large, it is easy to roll.
4, knife fins:
Dick TOUGH designed a more humanized knife fins. Push-type quick-opening fins allow the knife to be opened with one hand at any angle, allowing users to respond quickly and decisively in the face of unexpected situations. The quick opening method is as shown in the following figure. Hold the knife handle, press the index finger and hold the knife fin part. When the force is pressed down, the wrist will shake the tool backwards. The knife will automatically expand and lock due to inertia. (Cannot upload quick start video due to web page.)
5, handle:
The Dick TOUGH is equipped with the popular G10 glass fiber on the current high-end cutting tool that conforms to the composite material handle (light weight, high strength, corrosion-resistant insulation, and strong abrasion resistance). The surface of the handle is designed with three-dimensional embossed lines to ensure that the palm is used when the knife is used. When perspiration or environment has water or oil, it is easy to grasp and it is not easy to slip off; it is commendable that the joints between the handle and the tongue are fixed with 4 hexagon socket screws, and the tightness is good, and the water vapor and dirt are not used. Easily run in to erode the tongue.
6, knife clip:
Dick TOUGH did not design a knife rope hole, but it had a patented retractable knife holder. I mentioned in the foregoing that this knife holder is a chicken rib. I did not test the firmness of the knife holder. She deliberately clamped the knife out of her pocket and ran or moved. It is a good place for the knife holder to be well-fixed without losing the tool.
At the same time, the knife holder compensates for the lack of a knife hole, because the knife holder can also be used to tie a rope, and a rope tied to a branch extends the cutter function, allowing the love knife to be changed into a harpoon at a minute and used as a spear. Fish or hunting is very practical; in addition, when using the knife, the outdoor environment is easy to lose the knife, such as the jungle, the river, the sea, the knife holder can protect the tool is not lost.
7, Lining lock:
Liner lock is a simple and effective folding knife fixing method. The safe and reliable backing lock is the basis of ensuring the function of the folding knife. The unlocking position of the backing lock is closer to the knife shaft to unlock more effortlessly. The Dickey Tough Liner Lock is in the open position. The padlock locks the blade independently and does not require any other spring device. It is very easy to open and close with one hand.
The weak link of a folding knife is mainly because the lock is not firm. If the lock is not firm, imagine that if you touch the back of the knife during use, the knife edge will be thrown back and the consequences will be unthinkable. In order to check the locking ability of Dick Tough's interlocking locks, two small experiments were done. In one open state, free fall fell from the air of 1.4 meters to the gravel ground. The tool was not unlocked; one time it was struck repeatedly with wooden sticks. The parts, locks are not unlocked, and it has been verified through experiments that the locking ability of the Dick TOUGH padlock is still very trustworthy.
8, corrosion resistance:
The most troublesome thing in tool use or collection is the problem of rust. For this purpose, it is specially camping on the edge of the Yangtze River to conduct a 48-hour soaking experiment. As shown in the figure, the cutting, cutting, cutting, stabbing, sawing, and knocking are performed for several days. After the fall test, the final soaking test was performed. After the water is wiped, the surface of the knife surface is poor in gloss due to the use of the surface damage, and other basic still maintains the effect of stainless steel mirror. After inspection, Sandvik 12c27 stainless steel blade has good wear and corrosion resistance.
Considering that fresh water can't cause corrosion to stainless steel knives, they were separately immersed in white vinegar and concentrated salt for 48 hours respectively. In addition to the slight fading of the surface luster after rubbing, there was no obvious chemical corrosion reaction on the blade, and once again verified. Tool corrosion resistance.
Third, control and evaluation
From the grip of Dick TOUGH in tactical combat, he began to test and control the performance: there are three kinds of grips for testing: positive grip, reverse grip, and straight grip.
1, is holding: (holding the handle, the knife body down, blade forward grip) This grip method can give full play to the strength of the arm, the most powerful, the stabbing target, there is a knife into the bottom Powerful, and conducive to quickly pull the knife, but also grip the most grip, the disadvantage is not very flexible.
2, anti-grip: generally used to surprise its knife, suitable for close combat stabbing, but the attack strength is significantly smaller than the positive grip, the advantage is the speed of the next knife for the frontal attack.
3, straight grip: the characteristics of the knife sticking forward, long attack distance, generally used for cutting or hacking, can threaten the enemy, but also can be stabbed, but it does not belong to attack type knife.
Fourth, comprehensive experience evaluation
Once again, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the equipment cool and Baiyuan, which provided me with the opportunity to experience the evaluation, because this experience made me more fully appreciate the powerful features of the Dick Tough folding knife.
I prefer the low profile of the Dick Tough Knife. After one month of trial and error, the advantages are light weight, suitable size, easy handling, easy to carry, and not too abruptly shaped. On the waist, the backpack is very suitable. I feel very suitable for outdoor use. Some problems were also found during use:
1, relative to the blade, the handle is heavier, so in the hacking process, the center of gravity backwards, a little not make sense.
2, if the knife body can be used to saw a part of the sawtooth cut hard objects or thick branches, it is more practical.
3, the blade is soft, after using a few times, the blade has a slight roll edge.
4, the knife is not suitable for rough work, because the rough will leave traces of stainless steel mirror-like blade.
In spite of the above problems, I can't stand up to my love for Dick TOUGH because Dick TOUGH can not only play a defensive role outdoors, but also make your outdoor life simpler. It can satisfy basic outdoors. Needs, such as cutting off vines, cutting trees, making tools, hunting fires, killing small animals, are still relatively handy.
