Amare Creator Slip Joint by Tashi Bharucha

Mar 24, 2020

Has anyone else had theirs apart yet? ( @reswright, @Evshrug? ) I ask because when I tore mine down i found 1 black washer and 1 copper washer on the "back" side, and 1 black washer with 2 copper washers on the "show" side. Figured it was just a mistake, 2 got stuck together and installed, no biggie....but when I put it back together, with the extra one removed, it seems like the spacing is off without it. Just curious if it's the same on others

I remember this being brought up with the Barucha Prism as well.... And that thing has a thumb hole in the blade, gappy bearings, and about 15 holes in the handle...if you're worried about catching food in it lol

KavikI wanna see one of these food prep knives with a Wave opener. I mean, in for a penny in for a pound, right?

Very nice design-wise, but 4.4 inches is a bit of an overkill (lenght-wise) for a slip-joint, in my opinion. Or is it just me? Those who like slipjoints (I do!) usually appreciate their smaller stature, their pocketability, their non-threatening nature, etc.

At 4.4 inch, it's close to a kitchen knife!

Well, I can see in the futur a smaller version of this knife (just my opinion). Save yourself some money and wait for it.

Of course.....first thing I buy here in about 5 months, and just got the email that the drop is delayed. How did I not expect that would happen? 🙄😒😡

To be honest, i haven't really used it at all yet. I bought it with the intention of using while camping, and haven't gone since lol Seems like a well made knife, i think it will do the job nicely. Though I do wish the handle was much lighter for better balance

This is an old-ish post but buying an obviously used knife as brand new really pisses me off!

Its a shame this is a 4.4 inch blade slipjoint. Slipjoints are good for the UK and American places like NYC with strict knife laws, but then the 4 inch+ blade makes it illegal. In other places, if a 4inch+ blade is legal then so are locking knives, so why would people choose to carry a slipjoint over a locking knife ? I don’t understand who this is aimed at really

THOMAS044I agree, part of the less threatening nature of a slippy is its usually smaller size. Great looking piece but there's no way I could take that out in the office and no one would complain.

Why make a slipjoint - which is an attractive option for terratories with strict knife laws - with a blade length over 3"?

I don’t see anything wrong with having a niche knife for slip joint enthusiasts. There’s already so much else out there; this is just a way to differentiate the product. I’m not even a slipjoint guy myself, I just don’t have an issue with it. There are already similar Tashi designed, locking production knives out there.

IonicPulseThere’s nothing ‘wrong’ with it as such. Its just a very niche market. You said yourself you’re not into slipjoints; not many people are. I explained my point of view on it and explained why it doesn’t make much sense Im sure it will still sell, it’s a nice design, and knives always sell on Massdrop, but I can guarantee if it was 3inch (useful for UK/cities) or locking (useful for everyone else) it would sell even better im from the uk and can only have slipjoints, and this is a nice slipjoint that I can’t legally use. If it was 3 inch I could. That’s the reason I care

Perfect modern slip joint except for the size. Make this 2/3 or even 3/4 of this size and I'd buy it in a second.

NotsurewhyibotherWell there are others in the size you want, I actually like that it's big, good for food prep. Not too many slipjoints in this size so I appreciate this one.

I've got a couple of Real Steels. I'm happy with them. I've got a couple of unreal steels. 3Cr13 and 420J2. Not happy with those metals(?). I just picked up a Case Sod Buster in CV. That's 4.25". I will likely pull the trigger (or is it flip the flipper) on this one. I hope the HT is good.

Tashi Bharucha isn't from a knife background, he's from a designer background, so when I saw something that he intended this as a folding food prep knife I was kind of like 'whatever, it's a slip joint'. I mean, designers, right? Live in their own worlds. Mine arrived today and now that I've held it I get it. You can throw this in your pocket like a gigantic folding pocket knife and it'll do that -- it's put together really well. Another thumbs up for RSK management of quality. But holding it in the hand -- yeah, it's a folding chef knife. Kinda like a slipjoint Spydiechef. Most slipjoints have a nail nick or something, this doesn't, and that's a bit odd. You end up smudging up the blade opening it. But you'll be smiling. Also not for nothing? But brilliant ergonomics on the handle.

There's a little bit of gap. I haven't taken it apart to see exactly how the pivot works -- but it's not a standard leaf spring setup.

Not much gap. Some, tho.
