Look
I’m a fan of Micarta, so I like the look of the Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta when closed. I’m additionally a fan of flippers, and I’m a fan of this “cleaver” form blade, although I’d disagree on the time period “cleaver” for this blade.
Regardless of the specifics of it are, the knife appears nice.
A part of the character of this blade form is that it’ll find yourself with a whale of a head protruding (the highest tip of the blade, seen above and beneath.) I don’t love that facet of this knife, however my dislike for that’s lower than my like for (what I’d name) the Spey blade form.
When open, the knife appears even higher! Once more, I completely love these Spey blade knifes, and this one has such a helpful look.
Open / Shut / Lock
The Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta is a flipper. Particularly, it’s a thumb flipper. There’s a pleasant massive knob within the thumb-flip space very appropriate for such a opening.
Sadly for me, I’m very dangerous at thumb flipping. So dangerous I attempt to thumb flip with the incorrect finger. Possibly I don’t even know which one is my thumb!? (Have we recognized the issue??)
Nonetheless you find yourself opening it, as soon as in hand, the blade is incredible for EDC duties.
As for locking, the Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta is a liner lock. I like liner locks simply effective, and this can be a good instance of a liner lock, too. It really works nice.
Construct and Really feel
The construct high quality of the Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta is sweet.
I did discover that the blade end appeared to have some markings. Arduous to explain, however you possibly can see them all through this assessment. It’s not that the blade is soiled, it’s simply that the end doesn’t appear excellent. In case you intend to make use of this knife, it received’t be an issue. In case you intend to shelf-queen this knife, effectively, why are you shelf-queening this knife?
Petrified Fish says this knife has ceramic bearings.
The blade is centered correctly.
The pivot screw had an adjustment solely from one aspect, however the different aspect of that screw has the PF brand.
The half I known as the “whale” of the blade has three notches, as seen beneath. I’d say these are only for appears, as they don’t appear to serve every other goal.
Petrified Fish calls this materials “Flax.” It has a pleasant quantity of grip, similar to Micarta does.
Measurement
184mm (open) (104mm deal with + 80mm blade).
Above, you possibly can see the Petrified Fish Flavorist knife with the Civivi Elementum in orange G10. I exploit that knife a lot!

Additionally within the picture above, my Normal Reference Materials (SRM) flashlight is the Hanko Machine Works Trident, an 18350 gentle. Whereas I’ve not reviewed or examined the Gunner Grip model seen right here, I’ve examined a Hanko Machine Works Trident Whole Tesseract in brass. I like the Trident, and it’s a hanging distinction to the cheap Convoy S2+, one other nice SRM.
Metal / Minimize / Oats

The blade affords a flat grind and, on this case, a satin end.
In response to coltellimania.com, which produced this picture, the Petrified Fish Flavorist knife seems to have a minimum of some kind of spey blade.
Retention
A pocket clip is hooked up to the Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta with two screws.
It’s a incredible clip, and permits for extremely easy entry into and out of the pocket.
The clip can solely go on one aspect of the Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta. There’s a little bit of an inset into the Micarta only for the clip (once more, solely on one aspect.)
The knife additionally has a lanyard gap.
Abstract and Conclusion
The Petrified Fish Flavorist blue Micarta is almost the right knife for me. I like the appear and feel of it in my hand. It’s simply 1) too massive (a 3.15″ blade is for much longer than I’d favor) and a pair of) thumb flip solely. If it had one other simple choice for opening and a blade lenght of perhaps 2.7″, I’d most likely purchase certainly one of each shade! I like it a lot! As it’s, I’m proud of only one! On the ridiculous Amazon sale worth of $40, this can be a steal.
