This knife was SHARP

The Meanstreak’s blade runs around a custom-designed pivot and a caged bearing and race washer system with a textured flipper tab for deployment.

It boasts a 3.5” MagnaCut blade nestled in full titanium frame lock scales that feature cross-hatch machining for grip and textures (plus, it looks sweet). The knife has a deep carry titanium clip that is ambidextrous (hooray for us lefties!).

For those unfamiliar with MagnaCut blade steel- it’s know for insane edge retention capabilities and overall toughness. Better yet, it’s a stainless steel ( and one of the highest performing stainless steels on the knife market at that).

If you’re in the market for a really sturdy folder that offers a sleeker appearance and want to support a 100% USA made company, this might be a blade to consider. The aesthetics are on point as well (the overall blade shape reminds me of a shark).

YouTube does not let us include links in the description or comments anymore but you can find this one at SharpsBros.com! USA Made feature! I’ll get some beauty shots off of this one later. Oh man I had a fun time slicing stuff with this one! The “Meanstreak” by Sharps Bros is a 100% USA-made frame lock folder that features a titanium handle and MagnaCut steel blade.  I ran it through some rounds on my sharpness tester and it registered an average of 133g pressure to cut the string, (which is extremely sharp). Usually don’t see this kind of sharpness in blades that are of this type thickness (.14” inches) so I was pleasantly surprised!

I love your videos Melissa, always a pleasure to hear the specifications, and how you present them along with my favorite 4 words made in the USA!

[tomdennison]

I'm not a troll or one of the guys trying to suck up like they have a chance with you. I just wanted to your videos are very informative and your knowledge and passion for knives and the outdoors being so genuine shows. I appreciate when videos are actually informative not just about someone looking for attention. Your a breath of fresh air for just being you and not some followers hustler. Your a great role model for women, that's extremely rare in today's world.

Great Review ! You never disappoint. Beautiful !!

[peterrocha]

Melissa, I like your videos. I find them interesting because I like knives. I like the way you present them and provide the information about them. It’s fun to see.

[alexandercage]

All ya get for your lovely voice. And the rest is even sharper. Great show of your wares. Goldy locks

[heatshield]

That’s really neat with the string. I’ve seen it done before and assumed it must be some sort of standard string across the measurement device, which the manufacturer recommends or you’re allowed to input which “string” you’re using.

I haven’t looked into it at all but I bet that might make a cool quick video, just describing that “sharpness tester” a little more.

[mr.h]

This one is sick as hell. That's definitely gonna be another one I want to add to my collection for sure.

[stefanklaus]

that is a gorgeous knife Melissa..take care

[williamspangler]

That came out of the box at 133 wow that is impressive

[ozzlayer]

That sense of satisfaction when a knife is very sharp. Sometimes, you have to laugh out of excitement 😊

[dealzright]

Didn't realize that such a device even existed.
Thanks for this clip.

[weldo]

SWEET BABY MOSES… that’s a beautiful piece of work Melissa, and the knife ain’t too shabby either.. lol jk it’s all in good fun kiddo ! I love ALL of your blade presentations and I appreciate the effort you put into each one of em by thoroughly explaining the functionality of that blade ! Take care and
Godspeed !

[Isovapor]

Beautiful and scary at the same time. You and the knife! Cheers!

Nothing is as sharp as MelissaBackwoods

[Rory-tme]

Cool demo of testing the qualities of the shear

[BillThacker]

I have the mid-size Meanstreak with a 2.75” blade. It is quite nice although the flipper deployment could be snappier. The handle is longer than need be but then there is plenty for a good grip. Not sure why this knife has not gotten more attention by reviewers.

[claytongreen]

Finally! USA made! Love your presentation of cool knives but it's so much better when it's supporting American jobs.

Razors need to be thinner because they are straight on the edge, hence “straight razor”. They actually get their cutting power from being thin. But your average knife gets it’s cutting power by unnoticeably small serrations on the edge, which is why thicker blades can still be sharp

Nice I like this model, very sharp too !
Great demo M.
