Let's hear it, what are your go-to knives and what exactly puts them above the rest?

[@BryanGardiner]

I agree that Kershaw blur is a great work knife I am 60 years old I've always had a job to where I carried a knife I always slip joint just got into the modern knives here in the last couple of years I don't know how many case trappers or sodbusters I went through I had to relearn how to sharpen with these new knives but I completely agree with you the Ken onion blur is the ultimate work knife I have been carrying one for over a year I have basically sharpened the recurve out of it I don't know how many of those old slip joint case knives I sharpened until it was almost nothing left I don't know why they don't make a knife is easy to sharpen in a modern style just any kind of cheap Stone will sharpen one of those old case knives dishearten at 14 1428 CN or whatever it is that is in that Kershaw diamond Stone to be efficient and I have one made out of a s35vn made by a small company in Houston that will sharpen like a razor

I found a blur in 7-11 parking lot in the box and it turned out to be one of the coolest knives I’ve ever had. Now I have 4.

We love S35VN. And Ken Onion! Thanks for the comments, Bryan. Keep that EDC lifestyle going 👍

Spyderco tenacious has always been 50 bucks great video and shout out to the tru edc man the outdoorsman great knowledge of knife use and blade profiles. No disrespect to the military fellow thanks for your service. Most serviceman could get away with a full serrated blade spyderco para2 or 3 with the spyder edge.

Saludos desde Placetas, una ciudad del centro de Cuba. Amante de la cuchillería las actividades al aire libre, la caza y pesca. Para mí lo principal es su funcionalidad y rendimiento. Todos mis cuchillos los he hecho de manera artesanal. Saludos. Excelente programa

for both fixed and folding, the number 1 thing for me is that it is comfortable in my hand, and large enough to be secure when I use it. ( I have sasquatch hands ) so for #2 blade shape, that suits the tasks I am most likely to encounter. for fixed that means something capable of processing wood, and game. for folders something that is sturdy, but slicey. #3 ease of carry. something that is a pain to carry, draw, and replace is something I will just leave home.

[@crateclub]

Very well stated, and I'm glad some of the stuff we talked about resonated with you!

[@caseylewis2835]

Great video men!!

[@crateclub]

Thanks for watching🙌

[@hypebeatz563]

I work at cable installations and have carried an Ontario Utilitac 2 for 4 years now, and nothing in my collection has replaced it

[@crateclub]

sounds pretty reliable, thanks for sharing 💪

[@BryanGardiner]

Once you get used to a knife though that you can open and close with one hand you can never go back to carrying a slip joint even though company like fox makes a beautiful slip joint

[@BryanGardiner]

I can remember you could buy a case trapper for $10 I would have the sharpest knife on a drilling rig when you were having a cut something real fast everybody on the rig like I had
