Hope the knife companies have this guy on their payroll. He's a great sales Rep. I wanted to buy every knife he rolled out. He's puts in the time handling knives. He fidgets like a pro.. Great info on all the knives. Thank you.
All but the most critical info…..the price
Seems like a conflict of interest, especially when he withholds said conflict of interes
Sharp by design makes the best production knives in the game IMO. I own 7 sharp by design knives. Lol. That's how much I love them though. 🔥🔥🔥. The best thumb stud action I've ever experienced would be the Kizer phoenix. You would think it's assisted opening its so good. 🔥🔥🔥
Love the no nonsense fast paced approach, a lot of information packed into a minute roughly each.. great content ✌
I appreciate that! 👊🏼🙌🏼
Kizer Malibu? Very interesting 🧐
Love the video and your take on knives in general. I have picked up quite a few after watching your reviews so, thank you!
I caught that too. I was kinda surprised until he corrected.
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
To be fair, Wayne did correct it by the end
Nice list, a lot of sweet knives Wayne! Definitely agree the Mini Tempest is probably my favorite knife. Thanks for the video!
I got one with not so good action sadly
I only own and still buy crossbar and button locks made in North America. In some ways it’s easier this way but it does cost more but so worth it.
My custom shop 940 with titanium and Damasteel cost less then Bestech and WE charge for the same thing.
"petrified" fish lol thanks for sharing brother. Been itching to see a good "best of" list
Glad you enjoyed 👊🏼
Kunwu Padre for the hole and the front flipper
This for sure. It gets accused of being a evo rip off but it actually has better action
So much info in this video for an edc novice like myself. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Cool list! If you like the Kershaw Iridium, check out the Bel Aire. Its AMAZING! Also, neither the Microtech Ramlock nor the Winterbladeco lock are crossbar locks. Theyre mechanically different.
I'll check it out!
Honored to be on this list with the Cosmos! Thanks Wayne, always appreciate your input!
👌🏼👊🏼
This is a great video, thanks. It re-kindled my affection for my almost forgotten Civivi Sokoke. It is now my favourite knife, just perfect in every way. So much so that I'm thinking about getting another one, with the black scales. :)
Shaman in 15V, QC Drift Large (Vanax), Sandrin Monza, Stretch 2 in K390. Great video, thanks.
🔥🔥🔥
You got good taste in knives, definitely all must have knives and some of my favorite
@@chriswebb3018 I just ordered a Diamondblades knife: the Summit Folder. Discovered this type of blade (9dps, 65-68hrc) watching a Ron Spomer vid "Bring a Knife to a Bear Fight".
Tell me about that stretch 2 ? How good is it ?
@@christurnerct49 For some hand-knife-thumbhole geometry reason, the Stretch 2 is the most comfortable deployment/handling knife for my hand. Only your own hand knows what fits you the best. I have other Spydercos in similar geometries as a means to get other specific super steels, although I wish that I could get them all in the Stretch.The K390 steel is the top blue collar for Jared, Erica, Pete, and myself. So, I have 3 of the Stretch 2s in K390. The Stretch is my only EDC in my pocket, and I have the Ladybug i K390 on my keychain. I would add S90V to my list of high edge-retention steels, for the "stainless" category.
Kershaw iridium exclusive to Kershaw's website is the Iridium with 14C28N bead blasted blade steel & TOPO aluminum handle with G10 back spacer. KVT bearings. It was 79 bucks up to date 4/17th but is now 99 bucks.
Very interesting and great choices Wayne. I did one of these from my collection a bit ago. I had the ZT0562 for combined light switch and push button flipper, EMPEDC Nymble for back (inline/downward) flipper, Mini Tempest for front flipper, WE Banter for thumb studs, PM3 for hole deployment, Pro-Tech Rockeye for OTS auto, Guardian Tactical Recon 035 for OTF. Thanks again! 👊 ✌️
This video is insane. So many cool knives. Totally enjoyed watching the whole thing through. My favorite fidgety knives right now are the Kizer Cormorant (full ti), Kizer Militaw and WE Vision R.
Yep, the action on that Raine is spot on! But… you missed the very underrated Kizer Original. I have like 9 variants, mostly because they have the best overall action of any knife I’ve ever handled. With one exception: the Rike Shadow: flipper tab thumb stud hydraulic drop shut porn. 😅
Where's the best place to get them from?
Every McNees I’ve ever handled had amazing action. Also my QC the nine is butter.
Very fun list! The Sokoke really pops for me off the thumb studs, but the Hogue Deka 2 just feel too low from the pivot to really snap. But I love it with Magnacut and Goat Original aluminum scales. I love the sound on the Kizer October and surprisingly to me, the Civivi Hypersonic really THUNKS when deployed. The Kizer PPY and Civivi Vision FG are the other 2 that feel great for me. My first Drop Bear arrives tomorrow with the LC200N blade... excited!
I love getting great action😅. Just so many bangers. And you reminded me of some I forgot. Some of my favs are the kizer deviant and towser k. And tuya wrath.
I’m really into the Kizer Mad Tanto right now. Awesome button lock flipper. Great video. Thanks 🤠🇺🇸
Right on 👊🏼
I totally agree on th cogent! Best civivi button action
Wayne, great addition to your channel. Thanks for all the information. Don't apologize for a few slip-ups of the brands, believe me I work late hours occasionally and understand you're making a longer (informational) post. When I saw the Divo I knew one thing:...I wanted that one. I'll keep looking for it. The Thornton is Beautiful btw..on my tb list.
👊🏼🙌🏼
Thx! Crucial Topic that is often underrepresented in knive reviews. Whole video was a pleasure to watch ;) I would add 2 Civivis for amazing action: The Qubit and the Vision FG
Great point!
My smoothest are my Manix 2 LW, native 5 lw (AWT), para3 lw (AWT), and my sage 5 lw (Parsons BW) and my Kaviso Penguin plus🤙🏻 my collection mostly consists of Spyderco's nowadays
The Doberman is awesome . Seen ripps garage tech has some cool overlay stickers for the slippery civivi qubit . That’s the only reason I don’t grab it more often so because it’s slippery . He has some cool ones .
My favorite Spyderco is the PPT in S90V.
You left out the Demko shark lock and the WE/Civivi Super Lock knives. My favorite locking mechanism and oh so fidgety. BTW, I’m loving the Thornton. Great action, great blade and one of my favorite EDC knives. I’m hoping for a premium crossbar lock version.
Good call!
Love the ergos hate button locks !
Thanks Wayne! Great video! 🤗
👊🏼
Loving my B3. Incredible knives from ^this^ guy!
@@jst-one3971 Thanks man! 🤗
The Kunwu Padre is great front flipper too.
When it comes to action, ive recently been amazed by civivi! I only have the brazen but damn is the action great!
Nice job! I want to get every one of these.
Go for it!
Wow, You did a SUPER job on that overall review!!! A lot of work for sure but motntmentse knowledge!!! Thanks again Wayne for costing me mucho money!!! 🤣🚀💥👍
Glad it was helpful! 👊🏼🙌🏼
just on looks- i think I like the green flipper best
How did you forget Chaves 229 Kickstop? .....
There's so many knives
Definitely worthy!
Personally, action is a secondary concern for me. I routinely edc a Buck 110 and it’s two handed deliberate opening and bank vault lockup are all I need. A nice slip joint traditional pocket knife with a nice half stop compliments the carry nicely.
Front flipper of the year for me: Tuya Wrath! Easy 100% anyone who has one should agree
I love the Kizer Malibu!
Ha Ha Ha! He said the right name the second time
Ha ha ha! He did say that, but at least he said the correct name the second time
Also the boker urban barlow is absolutely fantastic. Expecially the one in k390. Omg love it. I have one of the trappers on its way to check out. Not mine tho
The almighty kizer malibu!
You gotta try a North Arms Skaha 2. Insanely good flipping action. I didn’t think it would get better than the mini Evo typhoon, but I was wrong 🤷♂️
It blows the evo away it feels almost like a rask
@@Josh-jw7cb haven’t tried the Rask! Talk about grail!
The Kizer Intrepid you forgot
Have you checked out the new Manix 2 LW scales from Original Goat?
Man, right after I buy the smaller Thunderbird an even smaller one comes out! Its awesome.
🔥🔥🔥
Bro, props to you for actually giving the Sencut Serene the shine that it deserves, but WHERE did you get that milled Ti clip for it???
Amazon 😁
Ska ha 2 hands down the best flipper action for the money. Inkosi also should be on any list because that action is much much harder to achieve and for me feels amazing. Kansept and Kizer do it best for budget knives. American blade works model 1 button lock is hands down the best button lock action. Jason Grant gripper another underrated one for being perfect in multiple deployment methods. Leg George mk3 and the zt emerson have the best thumb disk action. Those two are almost fall shut on washers. Interesting list though.
Can't wait to get my hands on that Thornton, they're sold out now though
Man not a scratch or nothing on those babies! Nice collection
Thanks 👍
Any flipper with a open liner lock looses points. Having to be careful of not loading the lock and pinning the blade closed makes for a awkward draw. Its less of a issue it you only ever carry one knife but who does that?
Thumbstuds: QC Nine or Drift L
Flipper: Kaviso Keen or EMP EDC Nymble X
Hole: Kizer Militaw or EMP EDC Nymble X
What about the Flytanium Arcade with the Shark-Lock?
I don't think any reviewer made more than 1 video on them it might have been the price but they look like quality to me but I'm not sure because I have never held one . Do you have one ? And if so do you like it .?
@@sterlingstoots3215 No, they're sold out constantly 🤯
Definitely worthy!
@@sterlingstoots3215it's good but some of the edges are a bit sharp for me
I knew the Iridium would come up.
I hated how sharp the deka studs were. It’s the main reason I didn’t carry mine often and eventually sold it. But currently, my mcnees Mac 2, ad20.5, arius and xm18 have the best action in my collection. All are on skiffs of course.
What is the safest and most reliable locking system? Button lock of crossbar lock?
You said Kizer Malibu!! Sorry,I just had to point that out, especially after you nearly described one of the knife manufacturer's as Costco!! Good video though, really enjoyed it.
Glad you included the Raine 👍 I’m enjoying mine so far too
It's so good!
i have to say ive owned 3 sbds, the action DOES NOT STAY like it does out of the box, the detent nub gets rounded off too much, it ends up being super light after about 3-4 months,
@2:30 didn't know Kizer did a rendition. 👋Burn!!
How is your Sokoke so clean still? For smoothest action it's gotta be Andre Thorburn and other SA makers. Real Steel Avangard comes 95% close to them. Both just slowly close by themselves without any need to shake or wiggle. My Assassin's Knives Argo is a guillotine, way too smooth IMO. I won't include button, axis or compression locks, since they should close smoothly, because there's no lock/detent to slow down the blade.
Petrified fish 719 has incredible action for a $30 knife with a thin, slicey blade. Great dent and closing action.
26:50 what about miguron‽
Do you think the Begg knife is too heavy in the pocket for jeans or regular edc?
Absolutely not.
It’s so hard for me to think anything quality can come out of CHINA it blows my mind
Bird bill or modified warncliff?
i wish the militaw had a backspacer 😔
I bought a left handed PM2. . .it's very hard to find scales for it. I regret buying it. I should have gotten a regular one
Check out blades we love for options for your lefty pm2. He got scales and can add a button for ya.
@@chriswebb3018 - Really ? IM ON IT ! Thanks !
What clip is that on the sencut serene?
The aftermarket Civivi clip
You said Kunwu is amazing, but sadly you didn’t include any of them. I really think the middle finger flicking AND front flipper categories should include the Kunwu Padre. You should also have anew category of “in-line” flippers there’s nothing protrudes from the back. I would put the Kunwu S-Tao and MrMrDesigns D-Cypher on that list.
I wanted a paramour aswell. And didnt grab one
Did he just say the kizer malibu. Yes. Yes he did. Lmao
Emp EDC?
Qsp Penguin ?
Wooohooooo! 😃
Kirby Raine thumbstuds are not comfortable at all.
Did he really call it the Kizer Malibu at first???
My bad 🙃
Petrified 🐟 if I'm not mistaken
I love my Sokoke but it has really soft detent so I’m having to send it back 👎🏼
Складной нож это как женская грудь . Вроде всё одинаково но в каждой есть свая прелесть.
kizer malibu?
Oops 😂
I just upvoted this video to 666 lol
🤘🏼
Petrified fish
Nope. The most important part of a knife (to me), is that it can dependably cut. If it has smooth action and cool other features, fine, but it has to cut.
Let me guess, Sebenza 31 😂
Are you a knife guy or an out of work hand model?????
Both? 😃
Why would anyone turn their nose up at a steel that was designed and made to manufacture tooling to cut steel, which is what D2 is!
I think most people that do not like D2, is because it is not a stainless steel and is prone to corrosion/rusting.
why do people like thumb studs or front flip tabs? clearly the best flip tab location is where the civivi sendy is located.
‼️ It will cut.🪡
I'd say add the Berg Blades Sweeney, but they're hard to come by. Thanks for the introduction to Asher KC! For the price on the Spiro I couldn't resist.
The mini sweeneyes are still available!
Sweeney is outstanding.
