Is this Dumb or Genius??

Man, these are the kind of videos I get so excited to make! I was a *little* hesitant on this one until I received it … and then I got really excited to make a video showcasing it. The “CacheBlade” by Zerco Knives has been tweaked and perfected over the course of several years (as the owner was telling me) and when you hold it in your hands, you can def tell. The latching mechanism feels very sturdy. It has a sublet drippoint blade shape featuring a full-flat grind and stainless M390 steel. The blade length is 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters). Though the storage compartment is not advertised as waterproof, I had to test it out and submerged one of the blades for about 15 minutes 😬 . The central compartment surprisingly was still dry!

The blade itself comes with a sheath, ferro rod attached, and a waterproof storage container that fits perfectly into the handle. The 90° spine allows for striking on the ferro rod and you can use the edge on the knife’s pommel to strike as well.

Cons:
-no jimping on the spine
-would like a slightly more aggressive 90° angle on spine
-would love a different sheath option other than loops (not personally a fan of the loops though I know many people like them)
-Blade could be less wide, but the width also balances out the handle with storage well… feel like the blade could be longer

Overall such a cool concept executed very well. I have never had a knife like this and am eager to see how the storage compartment holds up. I told the owner I was going to try to baton some wood and break it down with it and he said go ahead, this thing was made to be tough!

The cache doesn't seem to hinder blades function in any way. That's a design win!

[SevenTrine]

Much better than the silly survival blades with like no tang.

[PrecioustheMovie]

One of the more practical designs I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.

*Adam Sandler's voice* You can hide your weed in there. Lmao

Almost thought it was one of those knives with a co2 cartridge that blows a basketball sized air pocket in everything it stabs.

[KhanAitmatov]

Had so many knives with storage, almost all were junk, this design is definitely a winner

[pyrx]

I just love how your casually bleeding not long after showing it off!

[pizzalover]

Hell yeah. Not to mention, the callus of your hands tell me that you know what you’re talking about. Thanks for your review, I might buy this knife.

[kaffielekobold]

Sharp, full tang, cache doesn't weaken the blade... Seems very useful!

[vladimirrashkovsky]

That’s perfect. Dog sniffs out the blade they aren’t going to expect there’s something in it so you don’t get an extra charge!

For those of us that do engraving and other fabrication stuff, we could fairly easily add a channel that surrounds that inner section and place a round rubber seal into it. Boom, 100% waterproof! ❤

A few decades ago, spanish cutlery did something like this in a fist of survival knifes. All of them A+ quality

[umbrvalken]

A knife with handle storage that actually has a full tang? Incredible.

[monkpato]

Actually looks like a brilliant idea. If it holds up it's a winner.

[SkiesEye]

An O ring gasket would be a good idea to add into the scales.
Beautiful knife.

The designer/ forger Definitely has Mad Skills !! Very Well Done !!

[jimmyspruill]

Got to love a woman with bloody knuckles!!!!

[danielhutchison]

Finally a storage compartment in a knife big enough to hold my hopes and dreams

[dilloncox]

I’d love to buy one. It’s very cool to see a new concept as a knife fanatic !!
