Now that is a great group of blades!! Killer sub collection of 940's!!! I've only had an Omega spring break but that was my one and only issue with the ones i have, BM took good care of me and even gave the knife a spa treatment when they had it. Thanks for sharing these awesome tools!!
@bigjsknives I do love the 940. I have ever since I got the green one about 15 years ago. It's probably my all time favorite modern. Although the Spyderco Manix 2 and Cold Steel Recon 1 are right there with it. I am glad that I don't have to choose between them!
I'll be taking out the bit driver and replacing it with the marlinspike and the pliers. This thing will then be awesome for working with paracord!
Leave the espada at home and carry a colt anaconda 8 inch 😂😂😂
@5_C_G Who says I don't? One of the things that I do is make holsters. The Espada is just for fun! 😅🤣😅
I like how you've ground down the file to make a really nice screwdriver. Would it make sense to polish that edge to prevent any rust from forming?
Thanks for sharing the collection. Not sure I’ll ever own a Benchmade due to the price. If I’m going to spend that much I’m buying a Spyderco. My current carry is the kershaw iridium mini. Cheers
@rockcountry They are expensive! Fortunately, I have had most of them for quite a few years. I did get 2 new ones this year because I sold 2 that became collectible for an absurd price! I have what I want from Benchmade and most likely will not get any more.
Your designs are always great looking and functional. Thank you for sharing.
@mutstumbo Thanks! I am still working on these. Got so e heat treating done. Now I am waiting on some fine belts to come in. All I have left are course ones.
Nice collection. Do You avoid fixed blades? I ask because the SOCP and the Nimravus are 2 very iconic knives, more than their folders in general...
Do I avoid fixed blades? Nope, in fact I make fixed blades. Today I am carrying a pocket fixed blade and kydex sheath that I made. Here is a playlist of the knife that I made that won Scab's knife making contest. ua-cam.com/play/PL1axKtlQYOxAF4LSIxM9B2IZcDHk5M7AO.html
@LastChanceKnives thank You very much for your kind reply! I'm Italian and maybe "avoid" wasn't the right word... You're also a knife maker, spectacular!!! I start immediately to follow You 😉 Sorry my ignorance: what is "Scab"? I looked for it on Google but I don't think to have find the right answer... thank You very much again!
@ Scab (nickname) @choirboyzcutleryoutdoors runs a large channel of about 130K subscribers. He does a lot of knife testing, mostly fixed blades. Thanks for following!
@@LastChanceKnives thanks to You one more time!
Got my 20cv/g10 bugout for $150 and it isnt even worth that compared to the value and quality from Kizer, Vosteed, Miguron, Civivi. Cant imagine buying s30v/grivory bugouts for $180-200... If you NEED to buy US made go Kershaw or Hogue. BM will get no more of my money after they discontinued the griptillian, then brought it back out with colored grivory for $40 more... They rhunk theire customers are dumb
I too will not be buying any more Benchmades due to price. I have what I want from them anyway. The only reason that I got the new 710 is that I sold the one I had for $600, it became collectable. So I upgraded to the new one and pocketed some change.
I made that mistake when I saw them online and got two knives from Boker that had a few major flaws.
Nice collection
Thanks! Benchmade does make a quality knife. It's too bad they have priced themselves out of the market in the last couple of years.
Very cool collection! Thanks for the look at all these, buddy!
Thanks!
there's where all the knives went lol..nice bunch..I like anything with some color to it like the orange..
Thanks! I do have quite a few orange knives. I in particular like a burnt orang color.
Absolutely Ken I keep telling you we should be neabors!!!! lol your talking my language great collection buddy…… now for sure I’m going to break my benchmades out…….. i enjoy seeing your collection that was fun……. That new benchmade is awesome but 400 bucks I have to really pinch my butthole before making that plunge…… but it’s on the list…… stay well and cheer my Philadelphia eagles on today!!!!! Be safe out there 😊
The only reason that I got the new 710 is because I sold a 940 and a 710 that were collectable. They were blue and black G10 with M390 blades. I got $1100 out of the pair. S90V is a better steel anyway! There current pricing is too high and I will not be buying any more!
Great collection Ken!! I love my Benchmades!! Great knives!!
They do make a great knife, but the current pricing is too high! The only one that I didn't like was the bugout. But then again I like knives that are a little larger than most.
Very nice collection Ken! Ive yet to get a benchmade. That Tagged out looks cool! That Kerahaw looks like a great alternative! Thanks for sharing! Stay Warm!
Don't recommend that you do, sir. If you're bent in n USA made to Kershaw or Hogue, BM is 200% overpriced
They are overpriced. BM needs a reality check!
Thanks for the video, helped me when I purchased my full size BH TRAPPER MY Canoe and my BH mini trapper will be here tomorrow
I am glad the video helped!
I got the extended driver from them and was surprized to find it was ratcheting reversal. LOL
@@Cosmos142857 Yea, they make a few different extended drivers, plain, with sight adjuster, and ratcheting. The ratcheting one is pretty nice.
Great list! I have about half of these and quite a few of other CS knives. I’d add the Black Talon II and the Frenzy along in there.
Those would be good additions. The problem is that there are more great knives than I have money......and the kids want to eat! Imagine that! 🤣
It's hard to beat that Lake Champlain Barlow
It is the knife I grab when we are getting in a bunch of new equipment at work, which means lots of cardboard.
5 MAX ???
No 5 Max. It is too heavy and bulky compared to a fixed blade that will do even more. There comes a point where the fixed blade is the better option and the 5 Max crosses that line for me.
👍@@LastChanceKnives
Does the snaggletooth allow pocked deployment? Where do you get it from? And how do you know if it will fit on your knife?
www.snaggletoothmf.com/ They have a compatibility page on the site. Check out this video to see how it works ua-cam.com/users/shorts70ynwd6ciwA?feature=share
@@LastChanceKnives thank you!
I think you're the first person I've ever seen mod a Rosecraft😆Great group of knives, buddy!
Come to think of it I haven't seen a modified Rosecraft either I also have never seen a modified Jack Wolf. The one in my top moderns of 2024 had a run in with my grinder and went from a clip point to a tanto!
Thank you for the information. I just cancelled my order. I wanted to buy a white bone trapper. The material being sourced in china simply kills the charm of the knife for me. It’s very hard to find a good trapper knife wholly made in usa or Germany. I had to pass on Case knives, Buck and now Boker. The search goes on, thanks
I am glad that it helped! I have several Bokers with Chinese parts and several real Solingen Bokers. Once you have them in hand side by side it is easy to see the quality difference! Take a look at GEC and the new Queen Knives which are made in the US.
@@LastChanceKnivesI decided to buy a used boker solingen stockman in black jigged delrin. It is not new but it’s in near perfect condition for a good price. Even less than what i was paying for the “Germany” one. I think it’s a discontinued model because I can’t find any solingen stockman or trappers on their website
Once you pull out that sword,any issues are over 😂😳
Cold Steel makes some fun "multipurpose" knives! 🤣🤣
Nice collection
Thanks! Cold Steel makes a great knife!
Great choices Ken! I echo your opinion of RR. I absolutely love that RR especially with the scallops!! Thank you so much for that! Great video!!
Thanks! I do love the comfort of the cigar shaped frame and the 2 full size blades of the RR Briarpatch!
Great selection of knives Ken. I like what you did to that Rosecraft knife, it looks great. You did a fantastic job on that Boker stockman, those blades came out great.
Thanks! I am very happy with how the Boker turned out. When I got it pliers were needed to start the blades moving! It was that bad!
Good ole knives. ive seen you work on probably all of these or show them to us at some point. Glad they get good use..I think i like the one at 1:45 best as far as appearance goes. As far as real world use? Well, we dont know that unless we use them lol..Have a good day..
That one is also the largest blade of the bunch. It is a great knife if you have to deal with a bunch of cardboard. In IT I am always getting in packages, so it comes in handy.
Man those knives look great with the jig pattern you put on them covers…… I have to send you a knife…… great choices Ken I wouldn’t have expected anything different…… oh yeah that boker I have 2 of them I can’t get enough I almost bought another one of them…. Thanks for sharing very nice knives…… stay safe out in this crazy world 😊
If you want a knife scalloped, just send it over! Those old Bokers are awesome knives, I love them!
I am a old guy, I would take the one you showed last 😂
I carried that one for a while after the restoration was finished. It's a great knife. I really had a hard time choosing the knives for this video, they are all great carries!
@@LastChanceKnives I traded for a couple of Rosecraft knives recently 👍👍
lots of wasted weight. non informational
The kit has been revised over time and is even better now! Lets see your kit?
i love youre knives,thats beautiful jack knife
Thank you!
I have a few knives in s90v but never tried one made by benchmade. How do you like their s90v?
@Dirtyknives007 I have never had any issues with Benchmades S90V. It seems as good as anyone else's and has great edge retention and is tough enough for a folder. If you were going to seriously abuse the knife then I would opt for something else. The biggest problem with Benchmade is the current prices.
Great selection of your fav knives of '24, thanks for sharing. That JWK is super cool. 😎👍Take care my friend and Cheers!
@singingtoad Thanks! The J.W. started out as a clip point until it had a run in with my grinder 🤣
Those ultem 940 scales are wicked cool!!!! Have a great weekend, buddy!
@davidkurle5418 I do love ultem when it has that nice deep golden color! Those 940 scales were a steal on ebay! They are see through enough so that the omega springs can be seen.
I got this and the Tidioute Blue Micarta version as well. These are fantastic knives, beautifully made and a great practical carry. As you've shown, it knocks Case's Mini Trapper out of the park. Sure, the Rosecraft is excellent (I just got the Rosecraft Farmhand and it's stupendous), but it lacks one thing GEC gives you in spades - soul! The day just feels that bit better when you've a GEC in your pocket.
@davids9549 I know exactly what you mean! There is nothing like carbon steel and patina. I even love some of my cheap RR's in carbon. The more modern knives do have their place. When we are getting in a lot of equipment at work, which means lots of cardboard, I'll take the Rosecraft with D2 because it holds an edge a lot longer.
Nice Blades, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Thanks!
Cool carry knives. I have two of those on your list there. I have a demko AD 20.5 and a 940 in s30v. I did carry them both regularly in 2024. The only Cold steel I have is the American lawman. I did get it in 2024 and carried it alot as well.
@deanP. If I could only have 1 Cold Steel it would be the Recon 1 with the blade of your choice. Even after having g 940's for 12 or 13 years it's still a favorite, just a clasic knife.
Im really surprised you carry that first knife lol..Its almost a joke..Hey Ken you have a knife on ya I can use?....Ken...YES...whips out a knife over a foot long, BOOM!! hahaha..I think, without using them, just going by looks and your description..I like the black knife best..Have a good day and careful out there in the snow..
Yea, it actually carries a lot better in pocket then you would think!
Great list and great collection, LCK! I'm a sucker for all things Cold Steel.
I have been buying Cold Steel for a long time, from the early 1990's!
Those are some really nice modern folders Ken! That Demco in Ultum is cool! I had that vosteed gifted to me. And a great knife but gifted to knice slice cause wasnt into that button. That Jack wolf takes the cake though. Beautiful
The Jack Wolf started out as a clip point until it had a run in with my grinder! I love the knife as a tanto.
Thank Good taste!❤️🇦🇺🪃🌏🙏
You almost got me, some serious redundancies… but… boo boo kit? Sorry you lost me…
What's wrong with including a little first aid? The kit has been revised over time and is more capable with less redundancies now. These types of things take time and a lot of use to fine tune.
Do you find that you often have to pry open windows and doors? No hand gun?
Oh Yah Everyday!!! The point i if you are going to have a prybar in the kit have one that can actually pry and not bend. A Pew Pew is a topic for another video. It has nothing to do with a tool kit!
That is very neat, never saw that before
Me either! It was a surprise!
Flashlight?
@@toddputnam9685 There is an Olignt i3 eps clipped on the molly webbing. It is a backup since I always have a good light in my pocket, usually an Emisar 2 channel with spots and floods at just over 4000 lumens with both channels on. 4 leds total.
I really want to buy it and do the same mods. I'm scared since the metal is so thin it might break while using it as screwdriver (especially the bottle cap opener) also the file is generqlly hard and brittle steel, not ideal for torsion and it might shatter. Really great video tho
@Crus0e Just remember that it is a small light duty multitool. If you need enough tork to snap a tool use a 1/4" bit instead. It is easy to carry a couple bits in the pocket.
End 2024, got mine on sale off the website for $150. Excellent value.
That is not a bad deal! They are great knives!
Any moron can figure that out how about 8mm video camera batteries
brand new never used tools
@meigu01 Don't confuse someone who takes care of their tools with "never used". Something in the kit gets used just about everyday.
@@LastChanceKnives "sometimes everyday"
I've been eyeballing the Eastwing prybar for a while now. It is unfortunately just a bit too large for my pack. There was a person who sold a "cat claw prybar" I saw on reddit, and man it seems perfect, but it appears to be discontinued. How often do you use the taped up end vs the end with the hammer? Know of anything like this but a bit more compact?
@i_found_bacon5561 I bought mine at Lowes. That way I could see them in person and get a measurement. There are smaller pry bars available but they are flat bars and are to flimsy. I wanted a strong pry bar. If you need a smaller one look at the Opry by Olight or another titanium pry bar. I now have a split hose covering the end instead of tape.
