How do these keep getting better and better?! Today we're checking out the brand new v3 of the @pocketpipellc Variant P.E. (Production Edition). This one is a HUGE step up from what was already a spectacular knife. We're also taking a look at the Variant's lil' brother, a spectacular 5th pcoket slipjoint called the Vanish! The Vanish is available via a Kickstarter (ending 12/02/2022) and a pre-sale on Jacob's website: Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qvistbladeworks/the-vanish-a-modern-swayback-slip-joint Website: https://qvistbladeworks.com/Vanish-Kickstarter-&-Pre-Sale-c130599018 You can ALSO find the Variant pre-order (and other Qvist Bladeworks knives) over on Urban EDC Supply: https://urbanedcsupply.com/search/?rfsn=6236743.c23de69&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6236743.c23de69&type=product&q=qvist (That link there helps out the channel!)
