Here are a few options to consider when making your first expensive knife purchase. Fixed blades, automatics, and folders are all considered. There are many choices on the market to choose from, but these options are all great "next level" knives when making your first big.purcgase. #knivescommunity #budget fixedblade #budgetknives #knifetalk #huntingknife #everydaycarry #everydaycarry #knifeco...
Im so Jealous! Couldnt get my hands on one if I had the cheddar to put out for it "and i surely would. The Django, Pulsar, or the Chad. However, the textured variant of scales I like (think the original pulsar, reminiscent of a melted bastard file) on any of the models of Kuhnwu, are currently sold out, pretty much every-fn'-whirr😂 Also, Id like to add, that I too, share a love for all things crisply and just the perfect type of knurled. Aggressive, but with the first thirty-thousanths of the top brought down on a high speed cleanup pass.. Like that obscure but familiar-to-me Pilot pen. (Yep, were that alike that I own one too, purely on the strength that its got that industrial, yet artistic and errily perfect, utilitarian look with enough quality components, thats it's just begging to become "Exhibit A" if its what i got, and someone wants to see real life, then nothing, ever again. 😂😂😂 Id like to add, have you had the pleasure of handling a knurled "Quiet Carry"? Something tells me that if i got to pick one up, id hand the dealer a blank check and tell him "handle it" and run home (with it closed) like Charlie Bucketts broke ass in "Willy Wonka" The real version, not that Johnny Depp dumpster fire, when he found the ticket.....🤩🤔🥰
QSP for sure!
Hello fellow Kentuckian , new subscriber here!
@@bigdawghb awesome!!!!! Welcome! We bleed blue on this channel. Lol. Thank you for subscribing and for the comment. I'm extremely grateful!
My pockets aren't that big mate!! lol
@@Philippians--vz1mi neither are mine, lol. I always use a pouch or "bag." I only have a knife, wallet , fidget, and lighter in my pockets.
I’m not hating at all, but I tend to forget the blade steels so it would help me if you could mention them 😊
But I would choose the mink probably.
@@ET_EDC you got it. That's great feedback, and exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. I want to make my videos the best that I can, and I need feedback like that to help me alter and manage them and get them where they need to be. From here on they will always list blade steels as well. That's a great point, thank you! And yea, the mini is the sleeper of the 3. Most see the.size of the other 2 or the sheaths, but the mink is so well built and a no frills-all style knife. Great choice!!! Thank you, once again!
Are you a fan of the CRKT M21 SF?
I talk about Bradford knives a lot. The Gaurdian is one of the best "smaller" fixed blades on the market. I love Bradford!!!! Thanks for the comment and great question!!!
@@theun-professionaldad2232 you are fast! I commented that while you were doing your intro with NO idea that you were about to spend time talking about it... I have been between the 3.0 and 3.2 for a few weeks, looks like a beautiful knife. Here I was thinking I was about to comment on a little known knife...hahaha I edited my comment. I have had a CRKT M21 SFG for over a decade, I love it but I am curious what your thoughts are as a knife person.
@michaelmastrodonato5724 lol. I'm still new to this.youtube game, so i steadily watch for.comments. I love the comments and feedback! I definitely recommend the 3.2!!! I like the 3.0, but the moves upwards in size are more appealing for my larger hands. You have good taste, though, no doubt. Now, the M21! Need i say more? What a great knife. Their entire M16 and M21 line is fantastic! Tactical, yet very EDC efficient. It has style, and it is a time-tested and proven knife. I like the flat earth look on them, but I'm more of a fan of the black. More sleak and tactical. Its also one of the only knives I think serrations look good on. The way they do their serrated blades is NICE!!
@@theun-professionaldad2232 Looking forward to watching more videos from your channel, great content!
@michaelmastrodonato5724 thank you!!!!!
I vote Kaiser for ease of carry and ability to conceal .. Propagator, if you wanna "leave your mark" or "make an impression" clever, right?😂
@LeonardbroNocaprio420 lol. Yep, very. I would probably go Kizer as well. The finger ring and ease of carry with the sheath makes it my probable pick.
That Kunwu is cool. Does it have texture to the scales? I need to upgrade my wallet game. I have a little leather Dickies front pocket one. My license is starting to Crack. Need a hard one. I like that pry tool alot also.
The pry tool is like 20-30 bucks on Amazon. The wallet is around the same, with rfid protection. The Kunwu has smooth slick titanium scales. It is mind-blowing gorgeous! It feels better in the hand than it looks. The blade is a razor right out of the box.
Another hard decision. I would carry all of them. My "slightly smaller than average hands" opposite of DCA. Likes the mink for around the house. But around town... the Civivi! Beware boxes of all size! Back off to anyone who wishes my family or myself harm! That thing can handle it all and look cool while doing it!
@none4now-k9c yes sir!!!! Great point, and great choice.
Definitely the sheepdog!
Yea, that's the one picked most. I would pick it as well! I love them all, but the Sheepdog is too much to overcome.
the Bugout is so nice I bought it twice. I'm not a fan of the Elementum either. The yonder looks interesting and I'm a fan of Zack. I do believe the Griptillian was discontinued. I wanted the topo version of the iridium. If the Hectre came in Nitro-V or 14C28N it would be a game changer. I did catch the D2 comment, and I had to stop and think about it. I have the 20CV Deka and the base scales are better than the magnacut ones. May I suggest another bugout alternative The Ruike P801 it, due to its steel scales it weighs a ton compared to the bugout however, for 40 or so dollars it's not bad.
Great comment! You can still get the Griptilian on Blade HQ and on Knifecenter. I hope you watch some other videos of mine or read through some comments, I want you to see the number 1 budget knife that I recommend to people. Its all over my channel and many videos. Guess what it is??? it's right around 40 bucks and has steel handle scales. Lol. Anything come to mind? It's my favorite budget knife available, and I call it the poor man's sebenza. A few people who watch have already ordered it and got it in and love it. You definitely know your knives! Thank you for your comment and for spending time with my video! I would love any and all feedback you could give me!?
Hey from Louisville (love the UK hat). My first, and only, "expensive" knife is and has been my edc for several years. I bought a Spyderco Smock brand new a few years ago. I'm a lefty and absolutely LOVE the flipper and button lock. I removed the 2nd detent ball. I still need to kit it out with nice scales and such (looking at some MetonBoss titanium scales at the moment).
@Nuckn_Futz how's it going up in Louisville!? I love that city! Grew up going to Redbirds games, the Cardinals triple A minor league team, many many years ago! Thank you so much for your awesome comment!! Yes, I do bleed blue, lol. Your knife is a good one. Those scales are nice, too! Pricey, but soooo worth it. Let me know how that ends up working out, I'd love to see that one. Welcome to my channel. Its great to have a fellow Kentuckian here with us. I'm grateful for the time you gave my video and for your comment! Thank you!!!
I've always carried a knife, but just recently started collecting. I'm learning that there is a whole world of knifes out there. I learn a lot from videos like these here on UA-cam.
@justinstyles8979 Not long ago, I was in the same exact boat. I was a knife enthusiast, or so I thought, but not a collector. I had no idea how large the knife community and knife options really were. Like me, you will learn fast. Watch videos, read blogs, and search the pages of Blade HQ and Knifecenter. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask, and if I can help, then the help is freely and happily yours. Thank you for the comment! Thanks for watching my videos! Thank you for reminding me of the place I was a very short time ago. Good luck, and enjoy it, it's so much fun!!!
Don’t let people tell you that your videos are too long. You do you and people will follow
@@coolsandhots thank you for the kind words!!! I'm very grateful!!!
Great video always love good edc gear. I've always have a multitool and a pocket knife. Again great videos keep them coming. God Bless
Id go with all knifes on his list other than the benchmade 940 it's very outdated and overpriced.
I love the 940, but i definitely see your point about it. There is something to be said about a knife that is that dated, yet still relevant and selling the numbers it does. Tested and proven. There are a bunch of newer options to choose from, though, so you make a.very.good.point. thank you so much for your.comment and.feedback!!
@theun-professionaldad2232 its a respected knife for sure it changed alot in the community. There's just so much better knives these days. Yet I find it hard to top spyderco at price increases.
@isthebeeflol i would give that 10 thumbs up if I could! I say all the time that Pro Tech is.my favorite brand, but right behind them is Spyderco. I have many, and every single one is.fantastic! I like their Lite series, salt series and so on. Love their kitchen knives!!! Fixed blades! Golden Colorado is home to some amazing knives!!!!
@theun-professionaldad2232 yes the plastic lockbacks is would recommend to anyone. Salt just as good.
@@isthebeeflol yes!!!! I agree 100%
First of all, nice hat, C A T S CATS CATS CATS! Secondly, this is your channel brother, make the videos you want to make. I personally enjoy longer videos. And lastly, this was a good time to find your channel, I was just looking at Blade HQ last night! $200 can get you a GREAT knife these days.
Oooooooooooooh C. A. T. S. CATS CATS CATS!!!!!! LOL thank you so much for the comment and the kind words! They are much appreciated. Yes, you can get so much these days for $200. It depends on if you want materials, name brand, made in America, and so on. There's a lot to choose from out there.
MKM fixed blade and a Leatherman ARC every day!
@brooksmeyers1237 2 dang good choices!! I love MKM, and i really want an Arc! Thanks for the comment!!!
Go Gators
@francismcrae4811 hey!!!! We don't promote hate speech on this channel! Lol. Kidding! Love the pride! Thanks for the great comment!!!
I enjoy the longer format personally. As much as I agree with you about American made knives, what comes out of Taiwan has really surprised me. Cold steel is good for quality for the money (assuming you're not going for a pocket sword lol) and I love Taichung Spydercos, I might be biased because I enjoy the designs though haha. My first somewhat expensive knife was an Endura 4 super light weight for the size. But it was a nice upgrade from the 8 dollar knife I had before haha. Edit I made this before finishing the video, seeing the ad10 was nice, what do you think of the ad15? Are they similar enough if I have an ad15 I don't really need the ad10? Mostly in terms of how the blade performs, I know the ad10 will overall be more robust, but I really like how easy the ad15 is to manipulate while still having a bigger blade.
Well said!!! The Ad-15 is all you need. Forget what you are saying. You get it all out of the AD 15. Yes, the AD10 is more robust and rugged, but they are similar enough to just stick with the 15. I really like the AD15, and I'll show mine soon, but I do prefer the size and power of the 10. Just my opinion. LOL. Thank you so very much for your awesome commemt! That is what makes this fun for me, the engagement with those who watch. Thank you!!!!
Most definitely would be the winkler belt knife easy edge maintenance the edge can take a beating don’t hesitate to put in some work with it the belt knife is not a safe queen to be stored away
@@babang78788 excellent answer!!! You know your knives!!! I'm impressed. Thank you for your comment! I'm new to this video game, and I am grateful for your feedback. Thank you!!
I don't get why ppl carry soo much shit. Like I'm good with my knife, watch, wallet, and phone. 😂
I get that. I really do. I guess it depends on the stuff you do in your daily life and how often you use the things you carry. I used to feel the same way,then I started with a few things, and it grew. Most of that goes in my pouch/bag, and it's there if I need it. I DO NOT carry all of that in my pockets. Lol. Thank you greatly for.your.comme t!! I appreciate it so much, sincerely!
Second knife
That's the sleeper! Hadly anyone chooses this knife, but overall, I think it's the most well-rounded. It has a lot to offer. Notice it's the only one with a string??? I wear it all the time. I love it!!!
Cold steel sr1
Good choice! Cold steel is always a great choice. Best locking system in all of knives.
Subbed!
@@CrowsBladeandWoodworks thank you!!! I am extremely grateful!
Chavez all the way!
It's hard to go against a Chaves! Good choice! Thanks for the comment. I am grateful!
Sheepdog all the way!
Yep! That's my choice. I like the Tenable too, but not compared to the Sheepdog. Thanks for the comment!! I am grateful!
Canary all day!
@CrowsBladeandWoodworks good.choice. that's definitely the best looking ine of the 3. I chose those 3 because each one has its own feature that makes it stand out. The Canary stands out because of the materials and fit-and-finish. It's gorgeous!!!
Qsp for me
@@daviddolbow8324 it's a pretty knife! Good choice.
LT5 is my pick, actually ordering one soon too 😅
@Jacob_Gutierrez do it!!! Oh my, words can't express how awesome this knife is!!! It's definitely one of my favorites i have ever owned!
@theun-professionaldad2232 I've been wanting one since release 😅 I have an Overland and Overland Sport and they are my favorite knives I have. The sport I've carried daily for 6+ months and the full size for over a year (in my backpack).
@Jacob_Gutierrez i have the Overland. It's soooooo good!!! I'm getting the sport soon, but I wanted the LT5 first. TJ Shwartz makes amazing knives. I'm in love with mine!!!
@theun-professionaldad2232 for my full size one, I went black blade orange scales black sheath. And for the Sport I went black blade black scales orange sheath. For the LT5 I'm hoping to go all black on knife and sheath.
@Jacob_Gutierrez I should have gone with orange!! I regret the Overland not being in orange. It's like everyone I see is in orange, except mine. Lol. I like the orange better. You have really good taste! Kudos!
3
@j2hdivergnt894 yea that one is definitely the best-looking one! Carbon fiber sheath, Damascus steel blade, and the copper infused handle. It's a looker!! Good choice.
Kunwu Django all day
@dogoargentinoedc boy, that knife is such a good-looking knife! It's one of my favorites that I own. Good choice!
Not a fan of the color, but the ESEE hands down. Now if it's a neck knife not in this list, then the TOPS Street Scalpel.
Yea, I'm gonna do some of these with Tops.knives. I love tops. I try to make the answer less obvious though, and Tops will win almost every time. Lol
I like all 3 of them but the scout feather really calls to me!
@@dirroh10 seriously, i love the Scout Feather!!!! There's a reason it's the one with a string on it. I wear it all the time!! I recommend that knife so highly!!!
Oh man this is hard. I like them all. I love Esse. And if I did something dumb with it and damaged it, I could have it replaced free. The scout is darn cool. I'm going with the QSP. It's classy as all get out. Sheath and all. And it's profile is small. I like the fire ant for a camping neck knife for its high visibility. Dang hard. I watched this like 8 times while I thought about it.
@@none4now-k9c lol. I'm glad I don't have to make this choice for real!!! I don't think I could.
I don’t know. The izula is hard to beat. But I carry a canary as a neck knife 😂 I’ll pick the izula ESEEs warranty is nothing to mess with
@ET_EDC yes! Best warranty in the entire knife world, imo!!!! No ask warranty, say no more!
Always COLD STEEL 😊
@@GraemeMurphy-z8l can't argue with a cold steel pick! Excellent lock system, excellent blade, excellent name!
@theun-professionaldad2232 I'm with you on that my friend
@GraemeMurphy-z8l I'm gonna do a video on locking systems, and the TrI-ad lock is. Imo, one of the top 2 or 3 locking setups in all of knives.
Man that MSI looks nice! I have the Kinipex. Those things are great!
Yea, they are amazing!!! They are extremely capable. The MSI, well, words wouldn't do it justice.
@@theun-professionaldad2232 perhaps like a whats in you pocket today short? Show what you are carrying and ask what we are? Did you see Civivi has a few new ones coming out in December? A few folders with like 3.7 inch blades?
@none4now-k9c yes I did! Trust me, you will see them on my channel soon. Lol.
Nice kit! Love old Aerosmith!
Yes sir!!!! Thank you!!
Ramblin' Man ! I usually carry 2 knives every day. A decent size folder and probably a small slip joint in my other pocket. Keep up the good work and thanks for having a giveaway.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for.the.comme.t!! I usually have 2 as well. Mine are a folder and a fixed blade. Or a.folder and a neck knife.
I never considered a large flipper like that. I'd have to go with the cold steel sr1. But they are all awesome picks
@jobbybohnson6818 cold steel knives are popular! I wouldn't want to lose.mine, that's for sure. I like the Sheepdog, but all 3 are excellent!
I need to get one of the guardian blades. Never seen one in person. Have two Benchmade dacians but the sheath sucks.
@jesseduncan8760 oooooh, i want a Dacian!!!! I'm ordering one soon!!! Most of Benchmade sheaths suck, tbh, lol. The knives, though, are usually really good. The Gaurdian, get one if you can!!! They are excellent!! Thank you for the great comment!!!
Man!!! Youre a mind-reader! Thought i was done commenting on this video, then you busted out the Vosteed Raccoon! Ive checked that knife out more than once on their website! Im partial to the translucent amber colored scales its available with! Youre LITERALLY without knowing in advance, reviewing and featuring 90% of the knives I myself, have been looking at, and curious about! So good!😮🎉
@LeonardbroNocaprio420 that's awesome! Then we have very similar tastes. I love the Raccoon! I almost went with one with a different handle, and tbh, I probably lying should have. Still, it's an excellent knife!! Action is great. Blade shape, size overall, and everything else lol, it's overall a really good knife.
Thanks for letting us nose around in your mail! I enjoy living vicariously through the guys with channels, that can afford to get new goodies on the regular! Theres just something different about seeing them in-hand, how the tactile experience is (the sounds, the weight, fit & finish, etc!) QSP is definitely an underdog this year! Theyve got some pretty banger little fixed blade neck knives available now too! Ive definitely looked at their stuff ad-nauseum and you can see that they put that little bit of extra in all their stuff!😊
@LeonardbroNocaprio420 actually, i have been checking out a few of their.neck knives and fixed blades. You just pushed me over the edge, lol, I'm getting a couple. You are right, they are underdogs, but boy, oh boy, they make some quality knives!!! I really like them. Thanks for another excellent comment!!
I love your passion for knives. Makes me feel rite at home at least once or twice a day. I look at the few I have get them out open them wipe any prints off the very few I don’t use and the ones I do use get the same treatment. And go through the users and clean from the days use
@Mikesknives-i2z i love that!! I talk to.my.boys about pride of ownership, and if you won't take care of your stuff, then who will?? I'm the same way. Lol. Thank you for your kind words and great comment!!!
Again all gerat knives. I would have to go with the tenable. The big tanto and sheeps foot are sorta big preference blades. The lock on sthe sr1 is crazy good tho. Yeah the bombur. All purpose tank.
Great answer!!! The Tri-Ad lock is hard to beat, but the tanto tip limits adaptable usability. The Bombur feels great in the hand, and you said it, TANK!!! I like the sheepdog, but i have really big hands. I definitely prefer the Gmascus to carbon fiber, though. This is another hard one, for I like a couple of them, and there is no wrong answer. I'm impressed with Tenable! I am gonna be getting more from them for sure.
These are all awesome knives. Im going to have to go with the Chavez. That thing is solid. They all are. But yeah I like the Chavez best. Close second is the Lion steel. I like that alot of knife companies in Italy are still guilds. Generational knife makers. They have alot of pride about their work and it shows . Theese are fun Chris. .
This is one of those challenges where there is no wrong answer. The Chaves is the most popular answer for most people, but i wouldn't feel any less confident with any of them. I'm really glad you like these! I'm trying to come up with ideas that set me apart and make me different from the others in the knife community. If you have any ideas or suggestions I'm all ears. Lol. Thanks for a great comment!!!!
Yes! 👍 I liked the video & subscribed, AND IM THE 100TH Subscriber! Thats never been me before. I stumbled upon your channel for the exact reason you made it! Xmas is right around the corner, im 42, have ALWAYS loved knives, and im at that point in my life that I never lose things anymore, and enjoy the feeling of buying once, then owning, and using said item until its got its own personality, and or patina, and wear patterns, kinda like the neck on one of my 24 year old guitars ive had since i graduated back in 2000. There are wear patterns on the top of the rosewood fretboard in all the Major and Minor chord shapes, as well as quite a few seemingly random paths higher on the neck from improvising and grabbing familiar scales (like minor pentatonic, it fits anywhere in the correct key) and although ive had a laundry list of Buck 110s, CaseXXXs, random gun show United and Frost cutleries, and gas station zombie killers, Balisongs of varying qualities, and even one or two 80 to 100.00 out-the-front name brand clones from the weed pipe stores in St Louis, Missouri... But youve hit the nail on the head, im looking for my first QUALITY, (over 150 to 225.00 edc, in a quality steel, because that is whats important to me now, is buying things i dont have to replace again and ill die owning. I also, have come around to have a deep deep lust for a Spyderco,( 3" or less cuz im a felon in Illinois) and absolutely agree that the Para 2 or Para 3 would be a welcome tool that i know ill be able to count on for life, as well as there being a wealth of aftermarket bearings, titanium scales, signet rings, and even Emerson style wave open additions for the spider hole... Thanks for your time, and i agree with you on the picks for this video. You read my mind. I sure could use that budget to start my first GOOD KNIFE purchase. Bless you and your family .. +Ace Side note, ive recently become enamored with the Axis/slide lock, such as the locking system on the Benchmade Osborne you featured, as well as the Benchmade Bugout and all its clones! Currently carrying the 2024 Xmas season Walmart "stormtrooper" slide lock, and I CAN'T STOP FIDGETING WITH ITS LOCK MECHANISM! Its Now basically whittled down to a para 3, or 2 or the Spidey Manix 2, because of the locking system. Unfortunately, to outfit the manix 2 the way id like (Ti slide lock button replacement, aluminum or Ti scales and milled clip) im looking at almost 425.00. I can get into an entry level 1911 pistol for that. Which deflated me a little bit on the manix 2, however, for the 200.00 and under pricetag, the Kunwu Pulsar or Pulsar XL, checks ALL OF THE BOXES for the full metal parts and construction, riding on bearings, and a quality steel! Theres just SOMETHING SPECIAL about Spyderco. You can tell that EACH KNIFE, is skillfully heat treated, carefully assembled, and lovingly tested and gently boxed and packaged right here in the good ol USA, and I want badly to be part of the Spyderco ownership family, as its quality edge retention properties, and tried and true construction and lock systems, as well as the solid feel of quality they posess, I feel ill never stop feeling that excitement of putting it into my pocket before I head out into the world for the day, knowing that Ill be able to count on it no matter what I throw at it, and just like sleeping with an ex, no matter how many times youve done however many different things with it, you cant help but getting that overwhelming feeling of "home" each time you revisit its curves and remember what drew you to it in the first place!❤😂😂😂😂
@LeonardbroNocaprio420 Wow!!! I could not hope for a more impressive and well stated comment from subscriber number 100!!! This commemt is being set aside for sure! If you don't mind, could I say something personal, since you mentioned it that doesn't involve knives???? Life is crazy and can be really hard at times. I have made so many mistakes in my youth that should have landed me 20 yrs somewhere I didn't want to be. I got really lucky, and I didn't deserve the luck. It's so inspiring that you say that about yourself, yet you speak so well and obviously have your life in a better place. I'm so happy for you, and honestly, it's truly inspiring! Thank you for your honesty and for your kind words about my video and the things I had to say! I'm humbled beyond words!! The only men in this world who are the sum of their mistakes or actions are those weak men who fail to rise above those mistakes or consequences. I don't need anything more than this comment to know that you are not one of those weak men! You have my utmost respect!!!! Now, let's talk knives. You are correct. It's always better to buy once and to buy right. Better steels and materials afford you that luxury. The PM3 and PM2 are excellent choices, but your situation limits those choices. Spyderco has a few really good sub 3 inch options, though. I'm gonna look into a really good knife for that price point that offers the absolute.most in quality and.fit and.finish, with a sub 3 inch blade. I will definitely be getting back to you with a few suggestions soon. All in all, thank you so much for being my 100th subscriber. They say that if you can reach 100, then you can reach 1 million. It's only a matter of time and work. We'll, maybe it's j7st me that says it, but that makes it no less true. Lol. Thanks for 1 of the best comments I've ever read on any post from any subject from any forum or video!
@theun-professionaldad2232 youre very welcome! Im good up to but not over 3" cutting edge. The choile and all that is of no consequence, i only need to be concerned if the cutting edge exceeds 3" I can definitely carry a solid 3" blade all day with no hassles. Truthfully, the little town i live in, the cops know ive been home almost 6 years now and dont get in any trouble, so they probably wouldn't bust my head over an 8th of an inch, however, if im gonna get something nice that I can carry a decade or 3, i want to be sure that it cant be "confiscated" or get me hooked up on a posession of a weapon by a felon charge, because ive petitioned the state of Illinois for release of revocation of a firearm owners identification card, as Im not a creep, I never hit women, never been caught with drugs, and have never used a weapon in the commission of a crime, nor have i ever been hospitalized for mental health issues, or drug and or alcohol dependency. I got pinched coming out of a Kohls with a pair of shoes on, that i was trying on. Got a phone call saying that there was an emergency, and that i needed to come right away(family member) and without thinking about it, i just started walking out quickly without thinking. Because once upon a time, i was injured at work (steer fell on me while dropping heads on a kill floor) and got turned out on pain pills like 10 years ago, then began to shoplift to support my habit of buying off the street just so i could function. Once youre on opioids for so long, its SO HARD to stop... Anyways, id been caught at a walmart and another place before in my past, and even though the shoes were a misdemeanor amount... like 55.00, once youve been convicted of retail theft in Illinois ( even a misdemeanor under 500.00 value) its automatically enhanced to a felony! There was no way they were gonna believe me about it being a genuine mistake the last time, as i had retail shadiness in my wrap sheet already, several years prior...So, as i watched a guy who hit his girlfriend get probation, after she came to court and said to please not let him out(with a black eye) and a sex offender that failed to register, and was caught using social media, whom ALSO got probation, they got to me and sentenced me to 4 years at 50% (so long as i remained on good behavior in prison id be out in 2) I genuinely couldn't believe what I witnessed, and was so angry that a dangerous dude, and a pedophile got turned loose to reoffend, and I got sent to a medium/max security joint called Menard. Granted, i came home flat benching 315, squatting 535 for 5 sets of 10, and could do wide grip overhand pullups for sets of 20, and got my cardio up to a point that I could literally run till you said stop, and work a heavy bag over real ugly without getting winded in the first 30 seconds, which is real valuable in a place like that. Though im not a bully and i try to remain blended in and quiet, theres always gonna be a few that test you, and if you dont make an example of them immediately, its not avout who else will try it....Its about who WONT try it if its known you wont fight. Its really ridiculous, and i used to think it gave me street cred, and yeah, i got quite a few girls because the wrong kind like that shit .... Hehehehe.. But, in retrospect, its nothing to be proud of, it just means youve failed at life somehow, and that youre immature, and need to be babysat as a grown man .. Being in a cage is for the birds! There were certain yards in general division (the max joint part of the med/max, that if you went outside to yard, you had to carry a shank, because you never knew when the yard would "go up" meaning basically it was a free for all, and people just started fighting, usually as an organized plan to create a spectacle to distract staff, so theyd not notice a high value target, being stabbed, or beat with something heavy. Im thankful for air conditioning every day, because Il. Prison, has no AC. Whatever it is outside, thats how hot it is inside too! Ice was only handed out once the weather reached above 93° for more than 5 days straight, or when september 10th hit, whichever one happened first. Then it was "1 dip, no lip" one little scoop of ice, 2 times a day. The amount was so small that when you put your sink water on it, it just melted away and only got the water "sorta cold-ish" People in hell...Really DO want ice water..... Hehehehehe! But yeah, even having the ability to carry a nice folder, is a privilege. Theres almost limitless things you find that a good reliable pocket knife can help you with in day to day civilian life. I also really love Spyderco, simply because its a reputable brand, and used by a good deal of first responders as well as armed forces personnel, so a quality folder by a company like them, also shows youre more sophisticated than just carrying a giant "zombie killer 2000" gas station Knife. A lot can be said about the nature of a person, and what they posess on their person. Its a matter of INTENT, from a legal perspective. So if youre keeping it classy, carrying a sought after, well made folder, of quality steel, and youre within the 3" or less cutting edge, youre FAR LESS LIKELY, to be profiled as a shitbird, and more likely to be treated respectfully and not as a threat, so long as you remember to be polite, and understand you give respect, to GET respect, and show that you understand theyre not all bad, theyre just doing their job, and want to get home safely to the ones they love, just like we do at night.... Its all about perspective and intent.... Also, thank you for the kind words regarding my demeanor, and the use of my vocabulary in a direct, yet articulate manner. We're all friends here, thank-you foe taking the time to create quality content, and for the selflessness to be willing to do such an awesome giveaway for some lucky person to win! I havent won anything in a long time, I think my cheese would slide right offa my cracker if i found out I won an opportunity like that! However, i AM thankful for what I do have, which is a little apartment i can call my own, and the 3 family members i still have left in my life. I spend as much time with my grandparents, and my mother as I can, because I know that im going to be completely alone at some point in my future, and Ill at least know that i didnt squander the opportunities to spend time with them while I still can now, and also being thankful for the foresight to realize that myself sooner, than later, and get the most out of their presence, because ive lost so many people already, that ive learned to treat everyone I love or care about, like its the last time ill ever see them, because it may be... Dad died 3 years ago. Heart attack, he was dead before he hit the ground! Im so glad that the day before, when we all went out to eat, that afterwards, I hugged my mom, told her i loved her, and shook my dads hand and told him thank you for being such a good father to me, and that i love him as well. Thats the last thing i got to tell my pops....I learned to be that way, the hard way. Losing so many other people in my life, and wishing the last time id seen them, id have cherished it more. Said never again. Youre blessed to have a family and children of your own... Dont ever lise sight of whats important. Its not about stuff, or $... Its about getting the most from the bonds you share with the loved ones closest to you! Thanks again for the reply, and ima be cruising on your channel quite a bit now, because i like your format, and your approachable demeanor, as well as sharing the same passion for edged tools as myself! +Ace
@LeonardbroNocaprio420 I'm gonna tell you something that I wear on my sleeve, metaphorically speaking. Several years ago, I was walking my boys in the daycare, and this woman ran me over. Not as bad as it sounds, she really just hit me and pinned me between 2 vehicles. I saw it coming and threw my little boy who was in her path out of the way and took the full brunt of the hit. It messed me up pretty bad, and my back was really hurt. I was prescribed pain meds. Quickly, I got hooked. Thankfully, I had experience watching people go down certain paths, and I was aware enough to know that with my kids, I couldn't risk it. So I got help and got off the mess as soon as I could. Before that experience, I had a good friend who was one he'll of a good human being. He was lived by everyone. He got hooked on oxy's and eventually died. I had no empathy for him and was so angry at him for allowing it to happen. I'm thankful God allowed me to learn my lesson because I got a taste of the dragon on his back, and it was far more heavy and controlling than words could explain!! I know someone close, who i love dearly, who was stealing for yrs to support a habit and, again,no empathy. Boy, now I have so much empathy i fight for them! Thank you for sharing your story! You are not a criminal! You did criminal things when under the control of a demon that was powerful, but you are more than that! Bravo to you for paying your price and being the better person because of it!! You have no idea how much i appreciate you and your story! You have my respect, friend!! I'm working on some great options for you, and I'll get them to you by days end.
Ideally a tops steel eagle 107c delta class but …… out of these I’ll take the lost trail 5
@Thatknifeguy-09 Tops! Hard to argue with that answer! I love Tops' knives! Thank you for your great comment!!!!
Having never handled the other two blades & having owned the full Titanium Sheepdog XL in S35VN & still own, I'd in good conscience recommend to my friend the Kizer SD XL, I'm sure the Full Ti version is a wee bit stronger than the carbon fiber version though I wouldn't think by much. The other two choices I'm sure have their positives two, but having owned either, I would be simply recommending something I have no idea about, & that isn't something I care to do so.
Well said!!! It's hard not to choose the sheepdog!!! An awesome knife!!!
