I like that you explain magnacut and all the other steels. When I was new to this world I didn’t understand, so this helps other new people learn and stops the “gatekeeping.” Keep it up!
The hard truth is for most EDC users once you get a powdered metallurgy stainless steel with high vanadium the performance differences are hard to see.
@@jlogue751I disagree, for people who want a small knife the Dragonfly is king, and for people who want a slipjoint Spyderco there's the UKPK. Who would buy a super steel Roadie lol. I wouldn't, and I'm a Spyderco fanboy.
I’ve had a Roadie XL for about a week, now. The improvements over the original Roadie are monumental without losing the Roadie ergonomics and style. I had been hoping for something like this in a slightly smaller size, maybe a Roadie L, with similar pointy blade and maybe halfway between the XL and the Roadie, but I’m not going to diss the XL one bit. If it didn’t have a clip, I’d find it too much for the pocket, but the wire clip makes this my new EDC. Haven’t had it long enough to judge edge holding, but it’s just as razor sharp as it came to me after opening a number of packages and other everyday tasks. If you want a slip joint EDC with superb ergonomics, this is the knife for you.
Why make me add a code for the pen if I spend $199.00? Just put the pen in the box and be done. I’ve missed out on a knife that was given for this purpose simply because I forgot to add the code.
I feel like you answered the question yourself. Adding it by default would mean that 100% of orders would get a pen, adding a code means at least some won't get it, but the promotion still has its intended effect.
I guess it is because that way the can roughly find out what percentage of sales come from people who have watched this video. i.e. they give you that present and in exchange they get info on how effective their communication channels are. I might be wrong though.
Hey DCA! I love that Heretic A10 OTF. Earlier today, I went onto the website and ordered one. Moments later, I went back to show a friend and it now shows as discontinued. Ha! I guess I got the last one.
D.C.A.! Some nice knives there. I hope Spyderco releases the Roadie XL with some upgraded wood, aluminum or stainless handle scales. I would want one for my collection, but the handle looks too cheap to me in the FRN plastic. Fun video - no complaints about you explaining CPM MagnaCut from me. It is really a substantial advance in knife technology, so it's good to keep getting the word out to people. People tuning in to this video are coming from all different places and degrees of knowledge about knives, so those of us who are intense knife enthusiasts need to be patient and understanding about that. I really appreciate that you always point out whether or not you can get a full 4-finger grasp - this is important to me, and it bugs me when my pinkie is slipping off the back (unless I'm intentionally buying a smaller knife - then I'll throw a lanyard/bead on there. Thanks David & Thomas!
I really like MKM as a knife company, and often enjoy the overall aesthetics, but it always seems like they are just a step behind when it comes to innovation. For example, gold dark matter CF is one of my favorite inlay materials, but other companies, such as Divo, are already collaboratimg to develop their own CF designs
David, I bought that beautiful MKM Fara dark matter fat carbon as soon as this video fininshed. I used my reward points to get $100.00 off. I can't wait to get it.
Anyone have experience with Italian M398? I want the Spyderco Roadie XL, but I'm concerned about the Italian heat treat. Some say the Italian knives are a bit soft.
Does anyone know if Microtech fixed the spine whack issue on the newer MSI? If not, I think I’d rather save the $74 and buy the original version for $176. A great bargain for 3.88” of M390mk.
QUESTION: That White River would be a great gift for youth hunters and outdoorsmen. Are there any other fixed blade recommendations for exceptional high quality knives for that special gift... Christmas is coming. Thanks
S30V & S35V have very balanced ratios, and to a lesser extent A2 Tool steel. Not surprisingly, the knives I have in s30 and a2 are my favorites and I haven't felt any desire for Magnacut since it came out a few years ago
Hey David....just for future projects, is a "skosh" more metric or SAE measurement? 😅 your weekly videos make me so happy....and make my wife not as equally happy..... 🤑
Hold Bladeworks definitely smoking from Benchmades stash 😂😂 I been watching the channel for years. Dave is such a good teacher, I'm usually able to guess, within the ballpark, the prices of the high end knives, other than BMs overpriced products. The HB doesn't begin to look like it should cost as much as Thomas's truck 😂😂 I can get a custom TJ Schwartz Overland w Magnacut for less that $500
Hang on tight to that Pariah! It's got a super strong kick. Mine flipped out of my hand and into my leg and cut a vein. Squirted out like a faucet. I was home alone and had to squeeze my leg until the ambulance got here! Just in time they got a tourniquet around my leg. Heretic Pariah is definitely no joke!
Question, can you reassure the buyers that ADV knives are made in South Africa and not just assembled there from parts made in China? I know the Mini Pitt Boss are made in China entirely and the company admits that much, so I would like to be sure we are not paying for parts to be shipped from one continent to another and then to the third as an assembled knife. That’s expensive and not very “green”
$1700 for M390, Titanium, and WOOD! they definitely smoking that good shit. At first I thought it would be Magnucut, Zuriconium, and carbon fiber for that price.
DCA I’d hate to break it to you… you’re definitely an XL glove. My fingers are way thinner then yours and I’d say I’m between large and extra large glove. I always buy an extra large glove because it is easier to put on and take off.
I need to block this channel or my daughter will not be able to go to college. Are there support groups I could attend to help me with my "problem"? :D
And Spyderco give us a slip joint for a new model version. Ugh. They could actually be coming out with cool new knives but they waste their time with this junk of a model nobody particularly cares about.
I like that you explain magnacut and all the other steels. When I was new to this world I didn’t understand, so this helps other new people learn and stops the “gatekeeping.”
Keep it up!

When "the weeds" pops up I smash that like button. Always brings a smile to my face. Thanks Thomas!
lol same!
I must commend your channel. Zero ads no pop ups. A real pleasure. Don't change, please
That’s because the whole thing is an ad genius.
They could still put ads on it to draw adrev. Just because it's a sales post for them doesn't mean they couldn't run ads. Thankfully they don't
New knives are great. Every week I find at least two, often more, under my couch
The Roadie is a cool little slip joint. Would love to see it with micarta instead of plastic though
It deserves a fancy version.. with a super steel

Is it a slipjoint or double detent?
@@patrickmunneke8348 Slipjoint. There’s a working back spring.
I just received the Spyderco Roadie XL. Great slip joint. It's like the sprint run lil native slipit I've been wishing for.
Wut? Get that Lil' Native, they're nothing alike.
Why make me add a code for the pen if I spend $199.00? Just put the pen in the box and be done. I’ve missed out on a knife that was given for this purpose simply because I forgot to add the code.
No brainer, much better idea
BladeHQ does that

Sounds like a you problem.
I think the idea is to reward the people that are in the know, not just give free pens to everyone.
Crazy about the white river!👍🏻
Love White River
Nice to see ADV! Greetings from South Africa! 🇿🇦
Hey DCA! I love that Heretic A10 OTF. Earlier today, I went onto the website and ordered one. Moments later, I went back to show a friend and it now shows as discontinued. Ha! I guess I got the last one.
Knafs Lander has a stunning blade shape. Well done 😍

The White River Magnacut heat treatment is about the best out there.😊

Hi DCA. Thanks for pointing out ergonomics in your overviews. See ya DCA and Thomas.
That clip point lander will be my first lander 2. That is beautiful.
Bruhhhh those weeds get me every time thanks for the video!!!!
David, I bought that beautiful MKM Fara dark matter fat carbon as soon as this video fininshed.
I used my reward points to get $100.00 off.
I can't wait to get it.
Dude that Rat 1 is on my list!!!! Absolutely have to have that.
16:00 I would absolutely LOVE to have Case Embellished Smooth Mediterranean Blue Bone Ivy done in the Barlow style
Spyderco roadie xl has a lot of shape relations to the grohmann belt knife
that Good Vibes gives me good vibes :)
Yo, M398. I'll be thinking of that all weekend now.
My partner and I affectionately refer to this channel as "Knife Gnomes"
Wonder who made the Bali for cold steel?
You're explanation of M398 was exactly what I needed. Did not get into the weeds there 👍
"Janky Pickle" is amazing.
When does the native 5 crucarta drop?
Zezzle yes!!!!!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Please please please do that new Knafs lander clip point in the moonlight micarta finish
Anyone have experience with Italian M398?
I want the Spyderco Roadie XL, but I'm concerned about the Italian heat treat. Some say the Italian knives are a bit soft.
The Arc Angel will be mine!
What's with the White River small handle. I bought a CS a bit ago, and same problem. Just put larger handles on things.
Do you know if they ever gonna release the fancier steel Rat ones with partial serrations?
Does anyone know if Microtech fixed the spine whack issue on the newer MSI? If not, I think I’d rather save the $74 and buy the original version for $176. A great bargain for 3.88” of M390mk.
“Very satisfying” 🤣 That thing kicks like a mule!
“The Weeds!” 😂😂
QUESTION: That White River would be a great gift for youth hunters and outdoorsmen. Are there any other fixed blade recommendations for exceptional high quality knives for that special gift... Christmas is coming. Thanks
I agree with DCA on the handle of the Ursus Cub! If the handle was 1/2 inches longer I would have kept mine instead of putting it up for a trade.
Buy a Tops Dicer 3. Been carrying it for 3 years
Who is making the arc angel?
Famous last words would be a good name for a show or segment
Ursus Cub for the win! 👊
Great show. Been watching a long while.
Before Magnacut came to be, what steel had the same ratio of toughness to stainlessness to edge retention, although a little lower?
S30V & S35V have very balanced ratios, and to a lesser extent A2 Tool steel. Not surprisingly, the knives I have in s30 and a2 are my favorites and I haven't felt any desire for Magnacut since it came out a few years ago
Also CPM-154 and Elmax would fit well in that category, although with a little more skew towards stainlessness or edge retention
microtech MIS looking good
For a Kershaw, those prices aren't competitive with other options out there.
the pariah is a solid choice !!!!

I like new knives.
if only that clip point lander had some kind of sharpening choil that didnt already have a smile....

My victorinox outrider is probably tougher and cuts the same as that $1700 knife

I'm starting to think Dave favors/features wayyy more knives with his signature shape lol. Just saying, where's my long pokey and wharney boys at?!
Those lander remind me of bob dozier knife
Is that a metric or imperial skosh?
... Kelvin :P -DCA
I like the Bel Air. But what I don't like is all of the signage on BOTH sides of the blade.
Clean it up, Kershaw.
It's very minimal compared to other brands
$1700 for M390, Titanium, and WOOD! they definitely smoking that good shit. At first I thought it would be Magnucut, Zuriconium, and carbon fiber for that price.
Benchmade is shaking their fist that they didn't think of it first.
1700? That's it, I'm gonna become a knife maker and sell unnamed stainless steel blades with handles made out of paper towels and nail polish!
I haven't finished the video yet, so I don't know which knife you're talking about, but whichever one it is ain't worth it. 🤣
😂😂 just needed to read first reply 😂 no need to say more 😂
Crazy, right? It’s almost like the materials aren’t the only factors that determine price. 🤷
Wow like 10 comments that don't understand true custom quality at all!? Red is not a knifecenter color!
Wow first comment. Keep it up DCA. Waiting on the Maximal to drop? When would you think?
Has DCA just commited to refusing to use the name "Reverse Tanto"?? Hhahahahahah! Love you guys!!
Mkm fara scales❤
I thought civivi makes knafs.
QSP and Kizer are the OEMs for their folders -DCA
A PayPal option would be a lot better than Sezzle or in addition to.
Pickle Rick handle?
30:00, wonder if they know that MSI is a band, Mindless Self Indulgence, who’s lead singer was known to urinate on the audience at shows?
If only they made a Bel Air variant with a flipper.
The ADV Ratel.. pronounce Ra til... or english the Honey Badger
And of course you offer a great free promo after I just bought two knives from you. lol
1765 that's way to much. It better be made of gold and unicorn turds
What is the actual dimension of a “scosh” for those detail focused types?
I love the clip point lander, but those scales make me think, "poop knife"
DCA I’d hate to break it to you… you’re definitely an XL glove. My fingers are way thinner then yours and I’d say I’m between large and extra large glove. I always buy an extra large glove because it is easier to put on and take off.
Cowabunga.!
Bout time y’all got sezzle !
Imagine spending $97 on a Rat 1 😂
Tops knifes. $275 for these knifes? 😅
The reason I don't buy microtech is the satin flats on DLC blades, I jate that look.
If I am reading the warning correctly on the website, nobody but Virginia residents are allowed to buy automatic knives.
Yes. And for fear of being imprisoned, never pull the tags off your mattress.
Indiana it's legal 😊
Eh, I can carry one in Missouri.
Good to go in utah. (Just cant ship an auto to a po box)
That white river is dope!! Im not a fixed blade guy but i may need to dip my toes in that end of the knife pool
🔥👍
PayPal would’ve been better.
Ok, who was watching this naked?
Don't tell me that I was the only one
I need to block this channel or my daughter will not be able to go to college. Are there support groups I could attend to help me with my "problem"? :D
Yummy didn't say how much the M.S.I. was.
👍🔪
Knafs is a joke 😅 sorry but what kind of audience do they play to ????
That spyderco is a sheepsfoot. Geez. You should learn your job. Sheepsfoot is a wharnecliff that has an upswept blade. DUH
And Spyderco give us a slip joint for a new model version. Ugh. They could actually be coming out with cool new knives but they waste their time with this junk of a model nobody particularly cares about.
Pleeeeaaaase, stop explaining Magnacut. I really love your videos, but please stop it 🙏🏻
If I wanted a piece of art I'd go to a damn gallery.
Nothing wrong with art where u can find it but when u start charging art prices... GTFOH
It’s sad. I got a RAT 1 directly from the manufacturer for $29 and you just quoted the current price as $99.
Was it s35
So you got a AUS8 rat for the price they run.... That model has CPM S35V that's why it cost more.
Can d c a go on holidays again so we can get thomas back and have some good shows again
I don’t see how can keep a straight face when you say the prices of some of these knives. RIDICULOUS
40 minutes is too long.
Defective scales ? Just apologize or tell us that the scales are changeable. Shame on you David. Good attempt but it didn't work
“The Weeds!” 😂😂
