Dear Skall,
I have to inform you that this Knife is an asian knockoff of the “Scorpio Desgin Shapeshifter”, a patented design by German knife designer Gunther Löbach.
I know its not your fault that knives get plagiarised in China, I just wanted to let you know that there is an original, high-quality version, even with damascus steel, and this is basically a patent right infringement.(See: http://www.scorpiodesign.de/?lang=en for the original)
Since i am a knifemaker myself, knockoffs of innovative knife designs (or knockoffs in general) upset me a bit.
Btw, you seem to have a German accent (in a positive way, quite accurate pronunciation you know) , are you originally from Germany?
Kind regards
What length is the blade ?
Because it does NOT lock open “IF” the blade is under 3 inches it would be legal for the UK Market !
If i could get a rework with a lock for when the blade is out and better steel i’d probably buy that for 35-45 bucks
I’m sure you could shank a rapist or robber pretty easy with it…
the handle pinches the fuck out of my hand though…..
Is this legal in canada ?
Hi there Skullagram! Love your videos! I know this is an old video, but I recently discovered that this knife is actually a copy of a custom knife design that you can find here http://www.scorpiodesign.de/messer/shapeshifter-edc Thanks for making great videos!
I don’t understand why you had to make the second video to show people the mechanism. If people don’t have the mental fortitude to stick it out and watch the entire video, (Which isn’t a bad thing, its a very nice video) then they should be excluded from owning a knife in the first place. If they are that impatient and impulsive they can’t be trusted with one.
Hmmmm….
Your holding the knife wrong. Hold by the… Top screw. Flick out as a gravity knife . let open/ deploy in your palm. Closes easily in reverse. Concealed deployment.
I collect auto knives. This is helping my study of my prototype.
Contact me if you can help.
great review~! and i love the intellect of you and your more dedicated subscriber’s comments~! keep up the class and good work~! 😀 I’d love to see you get your hands on the “Shapeshifter” ~!
Too small
Amazing knife for the price. I got this one for $2.95 for S&H the other day.

I like the design
I lie the design though
Get to it, get to the fucking point and shut your mouth.
You know, at first i hated this guy. Then he kept popping up on my recommended and now im subbed.
well at least the design
Looks like a fun design to try to replicate with better quality materials/workmanship. Maybe find a way for it to lock up while open. Hmmm…
It is a $10 knife, what did you expect??
the poor execution is wasting the amazing design and idea of this knife. great idea, low cost production, typical chinese product, but i think u can get it for 2 usd in china so its definitely worth it, if they make the blade with any cpm or d2 and the handle with aluminum, i would buy it for 200-300
J-U-N-K
pretty good knife in my opinion
Here’s a cool inexpensive knife I thought I’d share.
