TIRANT RAZOR V3 (Stonewashed) 6Al-4V Titanium Utility Knife & EDC Pocket Knife, Box Cutter, Razor Blade EDC Tool

I work in construction and my father in law gifted me the Gerber E.A.B LITE. If you’re looking for a very affordable everyday utility knife that you can be pretty rough with, the E.A.B LITE is a great little knife. My only gripe was that there is a screw you need to remove to swap out the blade.For Fathers’ Day, I wanted to upgrade my father in law’s Workpro EDC mini folding utility knife that he has been using. I went on a deep dive on utility blades with a few things in mind; quick change blade function and a smallish profile. I was between the Pichi G9, Tyrant Razor v3, and the WORKPRO premium titanium utility knife. After researching more the Pichi G9 seemed a little too small if you really wanted to bear down and have a good grip. I also read a review of someone’s experience with the other end of the blade coming out where your thumb would be when they were using the knife, which was a little concerning. The WORKPRO knife in comparison to the Exceed Designs Tyrant Razor v3 had a bulkier profile, was mainly not titanium even though it is listed as titanium, but was much more affordable at $30. However, It seemed like the WORKPRO knife was just a cheap knockoff of the Tyrant Razor v3.I ended up going with the Tyrant Razor v3 and couldn’t wait to give it to him as it has the best reviews on quality and also how the owner treats the customer. Safe to say, he loves the knife. It is the perfect size; 3.5” long when closed and about 6” when the blade is deployed. The width is 7/8” and thickness is about 3/8”. The quick change blade mechanism works flawlessly. The Exceed Designs knife actually is titanium and gives it a very nice weight and high end feel. It deploys smoothly and is really durable when you need to bear down and get a good grip. I was so impressed with the knife that I ordered my dad and I one as well. When ours arrived it came with a note from Josh (the owner) apologizing for the long processing time and that he upgraded the bearings free of charge due to the delay.I am thoroughly impressed with this product, but more so with the company. There’s not a lot of companies that care as much about customer satisfaction like Josh with Exceed Designs does. I will be a forever customer and look forward to purchasing different accessories and knives from them in the future. If you’re on the fence about this knife, don’t be. It’s a great product that you will be sure to love.

I have knives from spyderco, benchmade, kershaw, but after getting this knife this has become my main daily carry. Why? Cause i no longer have to worry about sharpening.What sets this apart from other variations from other companies is the details. It’s mostly titanium so super light in the pocket. The razor sits securely without any jiggle/play. The razor can be changed without the need of extra tools or an annoying screw to deal with. Did i mention there is ZERO play in the blade holder?The finger opening mechanism is buttery smooth with the bearings they use, definitely fidget worthy. The liner lock is secure and precise. Zero play when the razor is in the open position.Been using this mostly with jean pockets and the pocket clip hasn’t deformed whatsoever so far.At the end of the day, pricey for a pocket knife, especially for a glorified box cutter. BUT, for those who are into knives, this ticks all my boxes. There is literally nothing i can think of to improve the product. It’s that good in my opinion.

Bought this because I don’t care to lose my nice Benchmade knives at work. It’s nice, lightweight, convenient and less expensive. Been using it for a while. Nice quality!

The burning question... why would / should I pay this much for a boxcutter?The quick answer, this is a KNIFE not a boxcutter, its "form", "function" and some may dare to say "style". It's a small, light, well put together knife that is built to last and with replaceable blades will stay just as sharp as the day you bought it.Alright, welcome to another grumpy old man rant...What is the RAZOR? it is a locking, single edge knife. Built to last is an understatement. It's made from machined metal all around, while it's light, it's also really solid. It has the right weight and fits nicely in your hand. (I have big hands and my wife has small hands... we both find the blade knife comfortable). There are two versions of the belt clip, short and long as well as multiple handle finishes and you can swap out the standard key ring for a useful pry tool. You can go with one of the base builds (if you plan to use this AND display it) or you can up the ante with some black screws, carbon finishes and even etched blades to make this a real conversation piece.As far as the mechanics, the locking mechanism is solid, the opening hinge as well as the "button" have been designed to avoid accidentally opening the blade. (NOTE: for all you lefties, this is a righty knife. but as a fellow leftie... don't worry it's still almost completely ambidextrous for single handed opening and closing.)The frame houses the locking mechanism, belt clip, and key ring attachment, It's simple, rugged and is comfortable to hold. When open it feels like a full size knife not a compact one. but it's light weight makes it easy to operate with one hand for extended periods of time.The blade.... It's a standard utility knife blade (which are scary sharp) and replaceable... You don't need to worry about dulling and sharpening. This knife never gets dull because you can always replace the blade. If you break or chip the blade.. it just simple to swap out the damaged one for a new one (and the knife is good as new and really sharp)For those who like bullet points (see below)Selling points (pros)- slim design- the weight is just right- It's durable- simple operation- Replaceable blades- Customizable - as utilitarian or fancy as you want to make it.Old Man nitpicking items (cons)- Pricey - but you already know that.- The blade requires a tool to remove (included in the case - don't lose it)- It's almost too good looking - at the beginning you might find yourself not wanting use it.... at the heart this is "working" knife... It's supposed to be pretty and take a beating.- Lefties will have to get used to the closing mechanism but it's not problematic or dangerous (if you are a leftie you should be used to living in the righty world by now.. or you are too young to own this knife. Pesky kids!So to answer the question "why would I pay a premium for this knife." Because it's useful, it's something that you spent time researching, you know it's quality and the kicker.... Because you want it. Plain and simple. This is a "want" item. It checks all the boxes for quality and usefulness and if you have read all the way down to here, you know probably already know your answer. I purchased mine as a gift... for me and I'm very happy with that decision.I hope this help you make your decision.
