MY GOD.. after my dad passed away, he left behind a silver bolstered bushcraft knife. I never knew the maker because it wasn't written on the blade, all I know is that the sheath and blade had silver fittings, the blade was very polished for its age and that it was made in Norway. Thank you, I finally know that it's a David Anderson knife after 20 years.
this youtube channel has grown so well in the years i have been watching it i used to be a blade hq guy but now i get way more excited to see content from you guys and seth is such a good addition to the videos you guys have good chemistry
How I became a knife guy. When I was about 10 years old, I found a small, white, folding knife. It was a simple little knife with a single blade that was about an inch and a half long. Holding it in my hand was exhilarating. I imagined I was not allowed to have it so wrapped it in a piece of paper, stuck it in a small plastic container, and buried it in my yard. I never found it again. About ten years later a guy showed me his knife and I was awestruck. It was an all stainless steel, Spyderco, Police model with combo edge blade. The sun bounced off the knife and the glare was almost blinding. I had never seen anything like it. That day, I was struck by the knife cupid. About a year later I purchase my first knife. It was a Spyderco Endura, with a G-2 serrated blade, a back lock, and a black plastic handle with the built-in clip. It was my baby. We worked many years together and she served me very well. Today, I have many more knives, but she was my first and she is still with me.
Shout outs to Pete at the Cedric and Ada Outdoors channel!! My very favorite knife channel and the only one to make me laugh. Brilliant video from the Knife Center.
The knife that makes me smile most often, in my collection, is my Lionsteel Myto in anodized blue titanium. From the action to the milled lines to the feel, it’s just a feel good knife.
I might actually get myself a Rockstead for Christmas. I'm bouncing between the HIZEN, SHU, or RYO. They are just works of art and would be the pinnacle of my knife addiction, I mean collection...
Get it brother and please actually use it. No sense in spending that kind of money if it's not going to be put to use.. It would be a shame if it's just going to sit in a box tucked away, never to see the light of day. Especially when it comes to the quality and precision they put into their blades. Like all knives they are tools. Hope to hear in the future you are cutting everything and anything with your RockStead.
Hey David and Seth, I love your channel. I've been watching your reports (from Switzerland) for a few months now. Now I have to write to Seth: Your love for the Spiderco Lil`Nilakka has electrified me immediately. I HAD to have one. And I found and bought another NOS and carry it with me every day. I love this little thing. Thank you! Take care of yourselves! Cordially Marcus
Fun episode! The knives that makes me smile is not the most expensive, the sharpest, the most exclusive knives I own, it is the Esee Izula VG I bought from you guys, put it to work, cut, slice, scrape, baton it, drop it, puncture something with it. Wow it takes it all. A well made, well designed knife. Easy to sharp too, the magic of a well treated 1095. The other one is the Boker plus Atlas with copper handle, reminds me of the pocket knives of old, something my grandfather would use.
Bittersweet video for me, I absolutely loved it but it brought back so many memories of my adored Sebenza from 2001, Devin Thomas damascus on a lovely burl inlaid handle, I carried that thing for almost 20 years as the proud pinnacle of my collection and something I was willing to use hard, until I finally managed to lose it irretrievably. Not sure I will ever forgive myself for that and I will absolutely guarantee you there were literal tears when I realised it was gone. I'm not in the same position I was then and just cannot afford something on that level which makes it even worse, but hopefully someday in the future I can give myself another chance at a CRK. Thanks so much for the video, you guys are SO far ahead of the general 'industry shopfront YT channel' that it's almost unbelieveable.
I bought a smaller version of the Camillus - the Blaze 3.00 (also designed by Darrel Ralph) - on the advice of my brother at an NRA show in Pittsburgh around 2007 or so. Mine has a partially serrated blade of 440 steel and was made in Spain. My brother favors that blade style. After about 10 years of constant use, everything gummed up, and I stopped using it. I since have serviced it, and it works fine again. Now, it seems tiny compared with other knives.
Both Seth and DCA represent my tastes in cutlery so accurately. Seth is my inner spyderco and CRK fanboy, and DCA is my semi custom and custom fixed blade fanatic
Man I LOVE that little Mora. Picked.one up based on Seth's comments and it's just such a neat tool. It's my center console knife now and I'll probably pick up a couple more for the backpack and tool belt. Any ideas for leather horizontal sheaths for these?
Seriously though... this was a great video. Love that you guys are engaging with other knife UA-camrs. Sort of... that is awesome. Love it. Keep up these great videos guys.
Hey, DCA - regarding that Camillus... One of my knives that make me smile is my USA-made Camillus Darrel Ralph Robo-Power Cuda Dominator American Tanto with a Titanium handle. Super-long name, right? It's an assisted-opener as well, the first I'd ever tried - it's actually very nice but I'd never buy another assisted model. S30V steel and I actually used it to cut carpet out when installing gun-safes in peoples walk-in closets. Very tough working knife. Now, I've made an error - the blade has not been centered for some time so I tried to disassemble and fix it - and found (gasp!) nylon washers - guess that explains the centering issue. Need to swap them for bronze ASAP! My first venture into "upgrading" a knife. Enjoyed the video! Keep the fun and interesting sharp-thing topics comin'...
I really enjoy this series with Seth, yourself David and Thomas. It's awesome seeing how much you two enjoy and truly love knives. Would be pretty cool to get more of Thomas on the show. You know Cameramen are people too lol. Would be sweet to see his knife collection if he's got one. Or what his favorite knives are.
@Paul Smith "back in the day" isn't now. These videos are not pretentious, unlike **cough** BHQ **cough** so I have no issues with the cameraman throwing in quips.
That Heat is a special one for me cause I gave one to my brother back around the turn of the century and he's EDC'd it ever since, and I mean EVERY day. Makes me smile a little ever time I hear the Robo Blade snap open.
They're back, it's the knives center twins show. Excellent Smile Knives presentation, especially the Norwegian antique ( there's a story behind that one) and the Tei. Great show gentlemen, the show gets more interesting to watch each time. Stay safe. Greetings from Australia.
My favorite part was the bit about the knife squeaking. Quirks are what make your tool unique. I love my tools, and the quirks are what make them dear to me. Just like cars. Has a very "wabi-sabi" element. But only if you have the beautiful mind to see it.
Mr. DCA - I have "chubby" fingers and sometimes struggle with engaging the liner lock releases on several of my folders. I like the wrap-around lock release on the Camilus you chose for this video. Can you recommend any flippers in the 2.5" - 3.5" blade length and in the $50-$100 range that have a similar wrap-around liner lock release? Thank you.
I think the knife that makes me smile the most in my collection is my Large Cold Steel Espada. Every time I pick that thing up it's ear to ear grin. It was one of the first real knives in my collection and I definitely had to save up a little for that one. Lol
Hi from Germany, DCA: can you recommend any two-hand opening locking EDC knives around 100 dollars? Regulations in Germany pretty much prohibit us from carrying one-hand opening knives. Thanks
Might be hard to find something interesting in that price point but check out some Lionsteel knives. Lot of their folders have removable flipper tab function.
@@Nudel-nc1cp Thanks for the advice! I didn't know knives existed with removable flippers. After reading your comment, I found Lionsteel's removable flipper ReF knives and the Myto series looks promising as an EDC; although quite a bit more expensive than my originally planned budget. I wonder if there's enough blade sticking out when it is closed, so I can open it without using the flipper. They don't seem to come in versions with nail nicks. But it looks like a great option. The Myto Aluminium red ''puts a smile on my face'' (one of the greater DCA catchphrases). Around 200 Dollars... But then there's Xmas coming. A good reason for a nice gift to oneself ;) Thanks again for your help.
@@DerDuger Your welcome. Well you don't need to worry about two hand deployemnt of the blade when its closed because it is still a frame lock knife. The blade running on ball bearings and it's hold on closed position by detent ball which is much easier to deploy than traditional slipjoint. So I think there's no need for nailnick on the blade itself. Ofcourse Xmas is great opportunity to spend a bit more and ''justify'' your purchase. :D
Does anyone know where I can get a sheath that will fit a random fixed blade? I have an old western that needs a sheath and was hoping one of you fine people could point me in the right direction
hey DCA, im after a modern traditional style folder with a round tip? or sheepsfoot style blade, needs pocket clip. Also a fixed blade for 90 percent food prep and 10 percent camp uses. budget is loose but everything here in Australia costs near double! Thanks
My (full size) Nilaka had it's edge damaged the very first time I used the knife. I did not abuse the knife in any way and was very disappointed in Spyderco for producing a knife that couldn't take normal usage without also taking damage. Then l did some internet investigation on the Nilaka and found out the reason for the knife's performance and the simple solution of putting a bevel to the "zero grind" thereby giving some strength to the edge. Simple solution for a great knife. My Nilaka is still razor sharp and now capable of (some) bushcraft demands.
My smile knife is the TOPS White Fang. It's an awesome knife, and I was able to get one through the major market, brand new and at the regular price, a very long time after it was discontinued (only a couple of months ago). I know they are sought after (TOPS is planning to do either a re-release or a sequel) and I had wanted since I became aware of it, but never actually thought I would get one.
I love how people have to pull out justification stories like “Once I scraped my freezer with it” cuz ain’t nobody going around using knives all day unless they are handcrafting stuff regularly. You opening parcels, son
They should have called that Mora, "the Chubby." I actually use my dragonfly a lot for the same reasons you end up using that Mora. I ended up liking all of Seth's knives (with the exception of the Rockstead. I resent that knife because it's worth more than my car....AND it's a liner lock). I didn't like any of David's knives--save one. But that one knife of David's is...that wedding gift knife. What a piece of ART. And, I can only imagine, but....I'll bet that would make a pretty good bush craft knife if you used it too. Form and function--mind blown.
@@knifecenter i wish i could travel for blade show Ive seen videos of it from people who went it looks like fun. even if i cant afford the newest top of the line knives i love looking at them and even the budget ones look amazing. Im also in the market to buy a boot knife for when i am able to go hiking with my friends again do you have any suggestions preferably single edge to keep within legal guidelines for my home state
Seriously loving your videos. I think it's the reason I'm getting interested in knives. I just bought a civivi elementum (first ever non multitool folding knife) and it's great. I have a question: Should I go and get a good high end knife (eyeing the sebenza) or should I continue to experiment with multiple cheaper options? I don't foresee myself collecting knives but just want something good that would last me a lifetime. Cheers.
The Sebenza is certainly a "lifetime knife" for sure. No need to rush it though. Enjoy the Elementum for a bit first. It is certainly a long-lasting tool itself. -DCA
"Between two knives," love it! Always fun to hear a couple knife people just talking about knives. Reminds me of working in the Marijuana industry for a couple years. You could talk about the topic with no fear of being stigmatized. Must be similar in the knife/gun industry lol
This is an awesome idea for am episode guys! Make it an ongoing episode with different guests...Id love to hear from others about what knives they really dig!
Allow me to extrapolate a bit. Based on your knife selections, your favorite foods are white bread and saltine crackers, favorite positions are missionary and abstinence. 😁 EDIT: All joking aside, I appreciate the fact that you guys didn't make this a big advert and stayed true.
Hi guys wanted to know a carbon steel or stainless for Caribbean bushcraft or island high humid or wet environments. Not sure if coated would be better but a stainless coated would also be nice.
I was given a handcrafted knife and custom sheath. The knife handle itself was formed from some animal femur and I couldn't speak for the blade steel itself either, but it's my absolute favorite and I wouldn't part with it for anything
What about "You can buy a Sebenza?!?" When will they be back in stock, I've had my order in for months! I'm like a kid waiting for my shipment notification, lol.
I waited was quite a while to get my large sebenza 31 in s45vn and wood inlays. Was well worth the wait. Am now the proud owner of four crk's. Hope you get your knife soon.
@@abc456f Thanks. I have the black micarta inlay on order. I think nearing 4 months now maybe. Feels like an eternity, but it'll be worth the wait. I did miss out on the KC exclusive Shiragorov though. I was going to pick it up after I got my Sebenza, and then I got tired of waiting so I went to order the Shiragorov and it was sold out finally after months of sitting there, guess it wasn't meant to be :(
@@excatI've been thinking hard about getting a shiro. I know eventually I'll pull the trigger, but so far the most I've spent on a knife is $635 so it will be a big jump. Also been eyeing a Herman knife from Poland. I don't have any true customs and I'd like to add one to the collection.
@@abc456f I'll be going Shiro, then Rockstead. I think I'll end up with 2 or 3 Rockstead, and I will carry and use them. Then I may pick up a few other models of CRK after I fill the Rockstead itch. Gotta get this Sebenza in first though, lol.
@@excat You're a better man than me cause I don't think I'd be able to use a rockstead if I had one. It would kill me to put even a little mark on one of those beauties.
MY GOD.. after my dad passed away, he left behind a silver bolstered bushcraft knife. I never knew the maker because it wasn't written on the blade, all I know is that the sheath and blade had silver fittings, the blade was very polished for its age and that it was made in Norway.

Easily my favorite episode on this channel. Great line up guys, and well spoken.
I would of never guessed Seth was on drums. My first guess was Clarinet
My guess would have been the synth
Wrong and wrong, he has didgeridoo written all over him. Of course, this is open to interpretation.
He sure loves a knife!
male organ
I thought "bass."
Well Seth, DCA said he was envious of your Sabenza. Time to hand it over so you can strive to be like Ethan Becker!😃
I love y'all's chemistry. Definitely a duo. Keep up w the great content! 👍🍻

The knife that makes me smile the most is my Bark River Kitsune with carbon fiber handles and hollow pins.
The last two knives Except for the last are the best in the show Good job
Squeek squeek!!! That is a sick blade on that Spyderco
I love the videos Knife Center makes. Thanks guys. I've got a couple knives in the cart I need to pull the trigger on.

Seth, what type of music did you play and what bands did you play with?
Seth, I was with you the whole way on the Lil’ Nilakka even to the squeak from the scales rubbing. It’s all in the details isn’t it?
Really dig the Mora Eldris - I’ve had it since forever and it always brings me joy
Spyderco Lil’Nilakka is awesome as well
That final knife is the Dark Side Knives assisted opening Spectrum. Very subtle, tasteful piece.

I don't foresee myself collecting knives but just want something good that would last me a lifetime. Cheers.
The Sebenza is certainly a "lifetime knife" for sure. No need to rush it though. Enjoy the Elementum for a bit first. It is certainly a long-lasting tool itself. -DCA
@@knifecenter truly appreciate the response man. Will take the advice and enjoy the elementum first
"Between two knives," love it! Always fun to hear a couple knife people just talking about knives.
Reminds me of working in the Marijuana industry for a couple years. You could talk about the topic with no fear of being stigmatized. Must be similar in the knife/gun industry lol
Those were quite interesting. Thank you. Good raport
Between Seth's little Spyderco, and David's Wedding-muk...my god.
Nessmuk knife collection is long overdue!
This is an awesome idea for am episode guys! Make it an ongoing episode with different guests...Id love to hear from others about what knives they really dig!
WAIT! WHAT??? professional musician? We need more info on this.
The David Andersen knive look like a Helle knive and they also sales blade for DIY
Sorry for the non-knife question: Is Seth wearing an SKX?
Allow me to extrapolate a bit. Based on your knife selections, your favorite foods are white bread and saltine crackers, favorite positions are missionary and abstinence. 😁
EDIT: All joking aside, I appreciate the fact that you guys didn't make this a big advert and stayed true.
I really thought it was a Boker Mermaid Lmao 🤣 😂
Hi guys wanted to know a carbon steel or stainless for Caribbean bushcraft or island high humid or wet environments. Not sure if coated would be better but a stainless coated would also be nice.
The two words on DCA’s fifth knife blade is Chinese character: 飛龍. It means flying dragon, great vid and great knife 😂
As I poor student I cherish my bushcraft knife a Casström Lars Fält, big, solid and beautifully simplistic.
So David Andersen is the John Smith of the Scandinavian countries.
I was given a handcrafted knife and custom sheath. The knife handle itself was formed from some animal femur and I couldn't speak for the blade steel itself either, but it's my absolute favorite and I wouldn't part with it for anything
DCA, yes please do a nessmuck collection. I'm betting your collection will bring lots of 👀 and comments thanking you.
Crazy sharp, fast and mostly big.
Spyderco Pochi. I don't have one, but they are cute as hell, and I want one.
Cool blades, guys...except for that last hideous thing.
I am disappointed there was no mention of the Svord Carcass Splitter.
Not a knife :P But yes... gives me an ear to ear grin every time lol -DCA
Off the topic of knives....
...What kind o music did you play as an working musician Seth?
What about "You can buy a Sebenza?!?" When will they be back in stock, I've had my order in for months! I'm like a kid waiting for my shipment notification, lol.
I waited was quite a while to get my large sebenza 31 in s45vn and wood inlays. Was well worth the wait.
Am now the proud owner of four crk's. Hope you get your knife soon.
@@abc456f Thanks. I have the black micarta inlay on order. I think nearing 4 months now maybe. Feels like an eternity, but it'll be worth the wait. I did miss out on the KC exclusive Shiragorov though. I was going to pick it up after I got my Sebenza, and then I got tired of waiting so I went to order the Shiragorov and it was sold out finally after months of sitting there, guess it wasn't meant to be :(
@@excatI've been thinking hard about getting a shiro. I know eventually I'll pull the trigger, but so far the most I've spent on a knife is $635 so it will be a big jump. Also been eyeing a Herman knife from Poland.
I don't have any true customs and I'd like to add one to the collection.
@@abc456f I'll be going Shiro, then Rockstead. I think I'll end up with 2 or 3 Rockstead, and I will carry and use them. Then I may pick up a few other models of CRK after I fill the Rockstead itch. Gotta get this Sebenza in first though, lol.
@@excat You're a better man than me cause I don't think I'd be able to use a rockstead if I had one. It would kill me to put even a little mark on one of those beauties.
