is the OHT a "slow" folder?

cliosguy · **on:** October 30, 2009, 09:06:46 PM

That's a really cool video. Very "mime" like. There is no way I can do that with my OHTers. I may have to practice.

You really need to get out more, Dude...

But very cool, indeed..

thanks, thanks, what can i say? im a simple man with no much(nothing at all) to do

prime77 · **Reply #6 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:40:55 PM

You are really good at it cliosguy. I just tried it with mine and I can't even get it open much less flick open like you do. Great job.

NutSAK · **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:42:16 PM

You've said so much without saying anything!

I don't like the new design either, but it's mostly because of the liner lock. In trying to make it easier to manipulate, I think they've made it more difficult.

its all about the midle finger, i recommend you to "flip it" more often

Not knowing how the liner lock was on the original version, I like the new liner lock design, except for the bottle opener end... that side is a bit too ground down to have easy manipulation of the lock to disengage it. :/

With that said, though, I love the liner lock, which is why I hate so many other 111mm designs have the side lock. :/ Or, their unwillingness to but OH knives as options for all of their 111mm knives, or the lack of a can opener on the Rescue Tool.

Great skills Angel! And yes, I was starting to wonder where you'd gotten to!

For anyone who may still doubt the OHT as a serious folder, check this link out:

Wow

The first ting I noticed about my OHT was how slow I opened it even when putting great effort into speed. My technique must be all wrong

Oh nice action,

But whats the second one you get out? Custom scales or have I missed something

Looks like custom (and nice!) scales to me.

Paul · **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2009, 02:51:55 PM

I can open my BM axis locks pretty fast, and them close em' just as fast, with a bit of fine tuning on the pivot screw.

I'll try and work out how to upload a video.

Its a very special (at least to me) custom one with carbon fiber scales

David Bowen · **Reply #18 on:** October 31, 2009, 05:49:57 PM

I have a love for carbon fiber but the stuff is darn expensive!

cliosguy · **Reply #19 on:** October 31, 2009, 07:52:10 PM

Me too man, if it wasnt so expensive i would get lots of it, starting by the spyderco native in CF

Nice vid Angel, not to mention nice "handy" work.

Did you losen the blade or has it losened due to practice? Being that the the liner lock is opposite of most liner lock knives I imagine it was something you had to do a few times to get used to. Cool vid.

django.cj · **Reply #21 on:** October 31, 2009, 10:36:11 PM

I think the OHT is one of the best knifes ever made. Not to mention that it's an aboslute bargain.

nuphoria · **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2009, 10:52:44 PM

Smooth moves Angel

Great review on SOSAK too - it truly is a wonderfully versatile knife. I would probably carry it if it was legal EDC here

Same as the rest of us over here probably

jzmtl · **Reply #24 on:** October 31, 2009, 11:36:26 PM

Tried it, couldn't mid finger it open. Then again I can't always do it with backlock folders either.

i think is the later, all tho it works even with a new one i just bought it only required a bit of wrist action

Freudian Frog · **Reply #26 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:27:57 AM

Yeah... can't do it. XD

I tried!

Sidhartha · **Reply #27 on:** November 02, 2009, 01:18:39 AM

cool vid Cliosguy.. nice skills you got the moves ill try it later.

getpower · **Reply #28 on:** November 02, 2009, 07:57:35 AM

That is a very neat thing to be able to do with those knives.

Mine us really stiff like the last one. I was kinda dissappointed that there was no narration telling how he was able to loosen them up that much.
