Congrats on 500k, I honestly never thought a straight up knife guy would get there but its really hopeful to see we can do well on this platform.
Thanks man!!
Ders is a knife guy.
Uh oh I think the same person that broke into your place and wiped poo on everything broke into crkt’s factory. 🤣
Dude, the blade rules.
@CedricAda You are an absolute legend as well. Love your content brother.
I'd put the Nightshade in legend. I bought my wife the mini one, and she LOVES it. Carries it her purse every day. If my wife will EDC a knife, that's legend.
Poopoo town being back made my Saturday
Poopoo town is back forever 👍
A knife resembling poopoo found at poopoo town. All is well.
I can't believe you put the Buck 110 in POOPOO TOWN.I have the Buck 110 my great,great,great,great,great grandfather used to dig his ass with.He would start taking it out on sat to scratch his ass on sun. LOL I love it when you do these videos because I know there is a bunch of people watching it and freaking out!
It's kinda funny cause you'd think the type of person to love the Buck 110 wouldn't care what other people think. But they REALLY care.
That was when they used 440c way better than today's 420 Hc
@@HelplessTeno I love the Buck 110 and all kinds of old traditional and new modern slip joints and flippers.It's just funny how many ppl care what someone else thinks or says about a knife or anything else they like.Like ppl aren't allowed to have their own opinion.But I guess it's gotten that way about everything these days.I like knowing something is going to freak those kind of ppl out or piss them off.I find it hilarious!
I totally understand the Buck being in Poopoo town.
If they ever made a 112 ranger (the one with a pocket clip) but with traditional wood and brass and maybe some bearings i would buy it so fast.
This list category is my Favorite because I own lots of these knives on your list MC, also MOST of my collection consists of knives in $75-100 range!👍🏻
Civivi Stormhowl is great for the money, Damascus blade, textured aluminum scales. Huge win!
Congrats on 500k! I’m a relatively newer sub, but man I love your style and the fresh perspective you bring to the table. Much appreciate the work you do.
Congrats on the new bambino!!!
I agree with most of your classifications. But there are so many, as you mentioned at the beginning, that aren't on the list. I'm glad to see the Moyarl and Vision FG at the top, a couple of my favorites. Thanks for doing this.
I would’ve put the Buck 112 slim pro TRX on the list under the “huge win” category. I’m not a big lockback fan, but there’s just something satisfying about it. It’s been in my EDC rotation since I got it.
I’m really liking these tier listing videos for Saturday mornings. It’s reminiscent of waking up and listening to TKG on a Sunday morning.
The praxis when it's the Kaviso exclusive WE version is so much better with the thumb studs and titanium, I can't believe the civivi version has never had thumbstuds added
Yeah man, I definitely want a budget version!!
i want one of those premium praxis but they’re a bit expensive
Thanks for doing this. Because of your exposure to, and familiarity with, your insight is invaluable.
Come on. We all know your favorite knife would be a custom Buck 110 with a fully serrated Opinel blade, 3/4 length wire pocket
clip with two tactical dips, and and extended glass breaker.
Absolutely love the formats of these you have been doing lately!!! And completely agree with poopoo town!! lol. Everyone I know loves opinel. I hate them sooooo much for ever.
I wonder if you’ve checked out the Buck Selkirk Folder. I got one as gift, I like the steel bolsters and contoured micarta but the action is surprisingly very very good.
Great list!
I believe the Tekuo Ventr would’ve been in one of the top 3 categories.
lol. I grew up during the Buck 110 hey day and you weren’t cool unless you could open yours one handed. Either by wearing it out to the point you could wrist flick it or by holding the blade and flicking the handle down. I think they call that the Spydie drop but it definitely started with Buck. In fact I’d say the whole industry of folding knives now is a result of trying to perfect on the Buck 110 short comings. The new locking methods, deployment methods, lighter thinner materials, better blade steels, etc. All of it. So if you enjoy EDC folding knives today you can thank the heavy, bulky, slow to deploy Buck 110. 😆👍🏼
Oh man! The one that I strongly disagree with you on is the Nightshade. It is such a different shape and if I am honest it is ugly but I have never found anything that can compete with it for legendary “usability “. I would put it as a legend but would accept it if someone said Huge w. 😢
Hey man. I just got the Icon knife from HF. Haven’t really been into knives ever but I’m falling down the rabbit hole. Found your channel been watching a lot of your videos. I’m curious what your thoughts are on the Icon Knife. From my 0 experience I think it’s pretty damn nice.
The Imperium was my favorite Civivi for a number of years - well, the Pintail too. Now the Vision has replaced it for me. Great call on the Sheepdogs. It was a Black Friday sale, but I picked up both the full sized and the mini in CPM-10V for under $70. Mind blowing value.
Can't believe they discontinued the imperium is such a good budget knife.
Loved the journey MC, thanks!
I love my Buck 110, it has a place on my hip in the leather sheath it comes in. I carry like 5 knives at a time, a modern locking knife mainly spyderco or civivi, 3 slip joints (Case Sod Buster Jr., buck single 379 , buck trio 373), and lastly my buck 110. I wear pants with many pockets so I can carry a lot of things, I promise it's not a purse.
Thanks for putting the sheepdog near the top. One of the best knives I've ever used.
Appreciate the lefty considerations and one of the main reasons I EDC the raccoon crossbar. As a knife enthusiast - fix blade sheaths are even worse to deal with haha. A few kydex options out there but so many righty only sheaths...cheers
12:02
Did you mean SR1? Iirc the SRK is a fixed blade.
Congratulations on 500k i can't wait for the epic giveaway. I really like the list.
I'd move the Leek up a slot or two. It's always a best seller.
AYE!!! another tier list! This might determine my next buy :)
Btw, Love the vids MC
I have 2 of the 5 Legends, so I’m happy with that. 🎉
I do agree with most of your rankings, including my two favorite carry knives. The Tenatious, and the Rat 1. I do believe that in the grander skeam of things they belong in the fine category because I know theirs a lot of better designs out there for around the same money. However I do now carry them both in S35vn now, although I first carried the Rat 1 in D2, and the 8cr13mov Tenatious and loved them. So as soon as I found out that they made them with s35vn I had to grab them up. By far my two favorites to actually carry on a daily basis. Mixed with my Griptilian it's the only 3 knives that I actually put in my pocket. Lol. As a side note I know there's probably a lot of better knives to carry, but those just do it for me. I'm that guy that once I find something that works for me I usually just stick with it.
Another excellent tier list from the knife youtuber who would undoubtedly be in the "legend" tier list among content creators. I will say my only critique would be that "fine" and "glad it exists" kind of seem like they could be one in the same as far as category goes. Maybe switch the "glad it exists" tier with "great" or "excellent", that would have served as a slightly better slot for the categories. But just my unnecessary two cents of course; thanks for the video on this Saturday morning, and congrats to you on you 500K yesterday. Been with you since 7K in 2019 after I found your Spyderco Manix 2 LW video that you recorded right in the front seat of your pick-up. Cheers to 500K more bud!
CJRB Frack and the Sencut Serene are huge Ws for me. I love them both!
I love the new top knife videos under your new videos so you can see the knives and where they ranked. It makes it very easy for people with not as much experience to get an idea Where a knife they might possibly want Wood rate. (under your opinions, of course) I don’t wanna get either. But I love your sarcastic in your video.. God bless sarcasm… hey congrats on a half million subs. That sounds a lot better than 500k.. you.5 million subscribers that’s a hell of a good job
Maaan I know its not a favorite but still has a place for my, wpuld like to see what everyone thinks of the ka-bar Dozier
I have maybe three or four of those but I was really glad to see the badlands vagabond make it so high on the list. I don’t have it anymore but it was a great user with the hollow grind and, from what I remember, snappy action.
CIVIVI Sentinel Strike is a sweet knife, congrats on 500k!
I don’t know why but I just love the FRN lockback spydercos. They are either beloved or completely hated by peoples. But I’ll be honest as long as K390 exists (so forever) I’ll never buy one in VG10.
I have a buck 112 and have carried it one time ever….so a solid investment 😂
Love these tier lists! May I ask which app/website you use?
It’s amazing how much I agree with you here (apart from the Cold Steel knives, but that’s highly personal).
I love the Vision but I'm scared to carry it now because it opened in my pocket. I'm not sure if it was the weak detent or the fact the lock faces the middle of the pocket where something can catch on it and allow the blade to open. Because of that issue I wouldn't rate it up there now.
Don’t even have to watch this to know there’s going to be at least 120 seconds of MC unloading in his pants talking about the Vision FG
Some of my underrated faves that weren’t on the list: Real Steel Sacra, Civivi Odium, Kizer T1, Sencut Watauga, Olitans T024, Kizer October Mini
I just ordered a FG yesterday after looking at it for a while. Looking forward to getting it soon. Really like your list.
I was looking at the FG for awhile as well since the price is amazing and had the super lock. But I couldn’t get over the holes, went for the Vosteed Raccoon instead. Weird name but as long as it works lol
The Vision FG is PooPoo Town for me as a knife. Maybe ok for a fidget toy.
Clip digs into my hand. Lock makes it awkward to hold and use. Lock is uncomfortable to release too.
It is innovative and cool to look at, just not a user for me.
I like bigger knives. The CJRB Frack is my current new love.
I got an Opinel at a gas station in France. I love it for what it is. Light, cheese cutter. :)
Ones not on your list but for me are glad it exists or higher: 1) SOG Terminus XR, 2) Vosteed Corsair, 3) Kershaw Heist, 4) SRM 9201, and 5) CMB Predator
I know I’m not the only fan that has spent way more money on knives than we normally would thanks to metal complex exposing us to knives I would never have looked into, I just finally got a kizer and it’s great, same with the vision fg, I thought there’s no way it compares to the ad20.5, miguron has received a bit of my paychecks
Love these tier formats, want more videos like this one.
I have been wanting the FG for a while now but just cannot decide which one. I think am going to buy BOTH the Damascus Ivory and the translucent with satin blade. Then I can decide to keep both or gift my least favorite.
Thanks for sharing your opinions and knowledge with us
There's a Knife Center exclusive with s35vn blade and carbon fiber handle. Goes for a bit more than $100 though.
The Openel is only good for camping food prep. But it does that very well.
You can sometimes find the We Banter for under $100, although it's more like a $120 knife. If you can get one under 100 though, that'd be my choice.
Great list just for me i would add the iridium and the AD-15 to the legend status
That parrot got me giddy ❤
Mostly agree with the list. Love my Vision FG, such a smooth and tough knife for the price though I’ll concede that the holes in the scales do cheapen the aesthetic. I would probably drop the CJRB knives down one rung, though I do like the knives, mine have slight blade play and Artisan Cutlery’s customer service is essentially non-existent.
I feel like you can generalize some things to say here. HUGEST WINS: Kizer clutch locks, Civivi button locks, and pick a design from those that hits your feels
I’m a little late but congrats on 500k. You should do an epic giveaway and give away 7 lanyards so everyone in the lanyard community can have one. 💪
These are always fun videos. I did get the conspiritor quite a while ago and feel it just belongs right with the sachse. Although it does have a better blade steel. It still has that terrible pocket clip i think for the price, civivi could be like miguron step it up a little and put a titanium clip on their knives that are over $50.
You ranked the lightning for reliability?!? How does the lightning get a higher ranking than the Kalashnikov when you said before you believe the Kalashnikov would outlast the lightning. Plus better steel? I don't get it at all
WOW! imagine my surprise when three of my four knives are in the huge win column! The Praxis is just a sweet easy flipper. The Ekko is a super fidget with a great blade. The Sheepsfoot is an amazing compact knife that I keep in my EDC tool bag. The Livewire is too expensive, and the various RATs don't count.
Thank you for the hard truth about the Buck 110.
It was fine in the 80's when I first got one. Why would you carry it today?
The AD10 in S35VN steel was on sale for $75 last week.
Loving these tier list videos!
Personally the Elementum is a decent knife, but I think it's more of what it did for the budget knife sector when it came out that makes me think it deserves a higher spot. I remember such a buzz around it when it launched that it forced everyone else into the sub 100 price point to level up.
Vision FG on top no question.
I cannot find the Kizer Escort for under $100 anywhere. Where is that? I'd buy that knife for a good price!
There are a few knives I think got a bad rap here (e.g. the Rats) but whatever. The one knife that I think got underrated fhat I would genuinely argue about is the Knafs Lander. Not because Ben seems like a super likeable guy, but because the knife *launched* with *free* docs for making the scales. Basically doing the work and handing it over to not just DIY owners, but also 3rd party folks. I think that, just by itself, deserves a place in "glad it exists".
I'm surprised the Vosteed Raccoon make it into "Legend", but you won't get arguments from me, that knife is great. Though I am surprised that it got that, and the Drop Bear didn't.
The Buck 110 and opinel are real user
knives! All these young people want to flip their knives and look at it ! I’ve owned the same Buck 110 for the past year 200 years and Ican do everything with it , I even brush with it. This tier list thing is one of them modern kNifE gUY tHings and If you ain’t using the 110 or opinel you ain’t a true hard knife user !!!!!!!
JK
Love the tier list man !! Thanks for the thoughtful input
I know a lot of people aren’t big fans of the maker, but there’s no doubt that Eutektiks $85 knives are both great under $100 knives. They have the best action for a knife in that price range that I’ve ever felt.
I love my Eutektik EFD. Was there some drama with Liong Mah?
Ever consider NedFoss knives?
Great list brother
What do you think of the Sencut Glide Strike?
The FG will be my next knife buy . Still a bit away but will be the next .
The premium Keryx to me is huge win. I haven't tried the budget but I can't believe it didn't get higher. So is the Vision FG snappy? It seems mushy. I have to have crisp detent.
It's not very snappy. Similar feeling to a shark lock or a crossbar lock.
@@Luis_fmo that's a deal breaker for me.
Man where's the love for the poor man's Malibu, the Civivi Chevalier II with Aluminum scales?? F*ckin great edc!
The chevalier is in there
@@metal_complex I did see that, but nobody's paying any attention to the aluminum version. Either way, you're the knife GOAT on UA-cam!
On the Rat 1 & 2.
Aus 8 meh.
D2 fine.
S35VN huge W.
I know folks get sick of hearing about it but it's a knife that keeps evolving with the steel it uses.
Maybe one day soon we'll see one in Magnacut and a top liner lock and takes Glock mags..............what will the haters say then?
Good vid as well as the knife steel ranking, diggin' the format.
SUBSCRIBED!
You young whippersnappers don’t know how good you have it… the budget category has blown up with great options. Back in my day its was kershaws and spydercos with poop steels 😂
25:53 "9cr18mov is the equivalent of 440b? I think?" I dont think so. I think its VG-10 tier. Let me go look it up again, as it is stainless, like its little brother 8cr13mov which is basically Aus8.
Yeah, looks like 9cr18mov beats VG-10, and probably even beats D2, in addition to being a stainless steel with much better corrosion resistance.
Honestly, I would reevaluate that. I really do think that anything in D2, unless it is CPM-D2, is a considerably worse option due to corrosion resistance than 9cr18. This goes double for people who use their knives, like taking them ourdoors.
Congrats on the UA-cam success. Hey man I remember when Kershaw and others were using the alphabet soup steel on their budget line everyone complained. And wanted something better. Kershaw moved to d2 that’s better than 8cr13mov and everyone complains lol.
I know they were essentially wanted 14c28n. I wanted 14c28n. Not sure why that steel isn’t on more budget blades.
Legend status to anything over 4.5 inches
Love my 3.5" Moyarl ❤
The Kershaw Leek was my first ever pocket knife. I bought it because it was small, thin, and USA made. It got me into pocket knives so i cant hate it, but I too think it's meh. If mine disappeared forever, I wouldn't be sad.
Miguron Valona 100% agree.
The fossil is the knife that I learned how to spydie flick... so it has some nostalgia for me... then I immediately went and got a spyderco...😂
Dillon from Knife Addict makes Fat Carbon for the Vision have 2 sets very nice! Towser K in Micarta is legendary, Richlite blows
I hope you listen to the real steel pathfinder folder, I know you’ll list the vision fg lol.
This is the way i do lunch watching something that actually matters.
The leak price, quality design and steel alone should at least be in the glad it exists
Interesting that the Elementum was included in your most recent top 15 budget knives of all time video, but only ended up in the "fine" category of this video.
There's a difference between what I personally love and what I would legitimately recommend to people. Another great example is the Bugout. I don't really like it but is it a good knife? Absolutely
@@metal_complex Makes sense. Thanks for responding!
This was awesome 👌
DRAGONFLY MEH! HAHAHAHAH I love it bro, hit em where it hurts
His veins pop when he talks about it! lol!
We need some OG scales for the Vision FG, make it happen MC.
Not a huge knife guy, but I find your channel every couple months a try to catch up. For me being able to see a bigger picture of the knife would be huge on videos like this where im not super familiar with them. Otherwise great video
I have full uploads on each knife. Type the name + metal complex into the YT search bar and you'll get all the info you need. 👍
Can't see this on my phone. Where's the list?
Now for a midtech knife tier list.
Opinel in a poopoo town - instant like
Where is the Fox Core, mate?
One of the greatest knife under $100
I've always liked the ESEE Zancudo more than the Ontario RAT2. It has a better build, and came in D2 when the RAT2 was only in AUS 8.
I wish Spyderco and Benchmade didn't price themselves out of "budget" territory...But whatever. I already own the ones I actually love from those two companies anyway...And the BM 940 was never reasonably priced.
Speaking of the Kizer escort, I’m looking for the micarta version, if anyone wants to sell one I’ll pay good money.
The MC budget category cutoff of $75 should be inflation adjusted
Kershaw strata XL
Cold Steel Luzon L
Petrified Fish PF 939
Welcome back, PooPoo Town.... Welcome back.
