*Top 10 Favorite Sharpened Pry Bars*
I use that # intentionally every time I post one of these on Instagram 😆
Esee 5 and a sharpened pry bar
Got the SR1 Lite "folding prybar" over a Lynch titanium prybar. More affordable and readily available. And yes, it can also function as a knife 🤣
Favorite *Folding* sharpened pry bars 😂
Haha
As a Cold Steel fan, you could say that many of their folding knives could fit this category. I own the 4Max Scout and the SR1 Lite Tanto. I also own 3 XL models (Voyager Tanto, Voyager Drop Point, and Counter Point), their Large 4 inch blade "little brothers", and an Immortal. All 9 are great, but my XL's , 4Max Scout and SR1 Lite Tanto have that overbuilt "WOW" factor that can't be denied!
This is my favorite EDC channel TBH
I love my stitch and scarab 2. The stitch feel like shooting a 9. The scarab feels like a 22. I’m truly in awe of Microtech.
I have a completely different taste in bladed tools than you do MC, but you are easily in my top 5 overall favorite channels and my favorite bladed tool channel. Why? I love how happy and enthusiastic you are about your bladed tools. Very hard to find genuine enthusiasm.
He's the only channel going into deep conversations with himself about knives for over 30 minutes lol
Definitely agree with you. I dont think I would buy any of his favorite knives (even if I had the money), but I still love this channel.
Best overbuilt knife had to be that cold steel opinel masterpiece of engineering
4MAX, because it's designed to hold a max of 4 Lynn Thompsons in a weight hang test
I got the Scarab 2 at a gun show for about $550 about a month ago. I don't baby it- it's my EDC as a construction worker. It feels so cool when I need a knife and I pull that out. Not to mention the "wtf" chorus from anyone that sees it for the first time.
I gotta say that the Paragon Warlock by Ashville Steel once broken in, is by far the best fidget friendly knife I have had in many years. It is tough as it gets, and surprisingly, the blade still looks as good as it did new, even though the handle opens and closes like it does. It has brought me more joy than any other knife, since my first butterfly knife or the Cold Steel Triple Action! Of those the Warlock is actually a really stout knife! It is also cool looking, makes cool noises, and everyone I've shown it to, thinks it is cool too.
Love the “ thunk “ of an overbuilt heavy knife opening
I like Big Knives, and I can't deny.. when a Medford or Cold Steel comes by... with Thicck blade stock, they really Rock ! It makes Me drool like a real knife guy !
I am not a skull fan, BUT i have ton of respect for his implementation of the skull clip. 👍
Love my SR 1 Lite, & 4 Max Scout. The Bush Ranger Lite is also a beast as well.
I love big knives and cannot lie
It’s a fact that I can’t deny...
Medford Praetorian Ti
for the win. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Well dang Nevets ! LOL I thought of a similar comment, before scrolling down to see yours !
Great Minds hehe
My love for overbuilt knives led me to looking into the overbuilt SMALL knives. The Kizer Flip Shank is a beast and has s35vn priced in the $80-100 range on Amazon.
Great channel! Your always on the cutting edge of new knives.
One of two channels I "Like" then watch. 🤣
Keep up the great content
I usually end up liking and commenting before the first minute is up haha
I enjoyed this Video! Thanks very much my friend! Your Pal, B9USA Sr. 🤠👍
Without a doubt, one for your list much be the Kershaw Lucha balisong! The build quality is something to behold.. This tool is literally built like a brick on steroids. I've personally bounced mine off concrete, tiles and even brick walls and you would never know! Obviously the handles being made of milled stainless is going to be tough but the blade itself also seems up to the task! It must come down to the actual geometry as I've never seen a blade get beaten so hard and want more! The ultimate EDC beast and then some.....
Watching this video just makes me so happy. Thanks!
Some videos you just have to watch twice... This being one of em! Great video MC!!!
AD10 honourable mention?! Wow! I need to see your top 10 now...
Edit: love that over build card throw...
Enjoyed the video, thanks.
My two favorite overbuilt folders are the custom Ray Rogers Chupacabra and the Miller Bros T1.
I've got a stitch coming today...can't wait!
I also love big chunkers. I have an XM24 IN M390 and a Grayman Satu TI in CPM 20CV that is an absolute monster. Sadly Grayman isn't make folders any more or I would have eventually got the smaller Dua
I’ve used a big thick smith and Wesson on toolbox duty (HD diesel tech).expected it to last a month for $25 but she still sits in the top drawer after 7 years, even if the blade has had about 1/4” taken off from sharpening. I have a leek or spyderco in my pocket normally. But the best part about a cheap knife is it never disappoints, occasionally your surprised!
Hehe I got my SR1 LITE with me today
Ain't gonna lie I'am so proud when you talk about it like a god tier knife 😂
I also have CRKT BATUM large Vox disign frame Lock, thicc blade stock (very close to the sr1) and 35$ it was my only work horse for looong time and the action on it Is wonderful
Great video, and great timing. I've been looking at getting more 'overbuilt" knives, as most of my collection leans towards the practical carry. I did get the Auto Adamas, which is amazing. I'm surprised that you didn't include an Andre De Villiers folder. I'm on the lookout for a Pitboss 2, Harpoon, or Javelin.
That's why I clicked on. Your the first one I've ever heard do a show on OVER- builts. So you got me brother. Great show. Recently saw some of the others as well. I will subscribe. Thanks
One of my favorite overbuilt blades that is terribly uncomfortable but I LIKE IT¡!¡ Is the TOPS⚡BUCK CSAR-T. I guess I like it mainly because I own it! It's very close in size to my 0550 which never gets packed either lol BUT THEY SURE ARE FUN TO LOOK AT AND HANDLE!
Thanks MC for another great video to help get me through the day 💯😉
Great list MC. I'd add the the Hoback Husky!!
Zt 0562 kinda fits under the hinderer umbrella. Served as my entry point into knives and now I'm looking to upgrade to a hinderer xm-24 wharncliffe.... if i can ever find one lol.
Man, I was smiling at your enthusiasm the whole way through. These knives look damn cool. Totally illegal in my country unfortunately.
Great to see the Praetorian Ti coming in at the end. I have an On Belay and really love it, but one day....
The SR1 can be got for around 120 if you are motivated to find it. Sick knife. The lite is good too.
I love my U.S. made 4-MAX. I also own a thick folding pry bar of a knife with zero fidget factor and it was less than $200, the Buck/ TOPS C-SAR.
Dude🤣😂🤣 I love that we have the same good taste on all of these knives. And I loved when you said because it gives you joy which it does me . Keep up the amazing work, love your vids😄😄😄💪🏼
Yes Brother, you are the only one who added the Ti to the beast knives. Thank you. I own 5 Medford Ti's and they are the cream of the crop.👊
You must have explored a very small crop
@@CNYKnifeNerd you are wrong. Those are just my Ti knives. Many other beast knives in collection. Been collecting for 30+years.
“Folding sharpened shovel” Epic!
I've been debating on getting an Adamas but the omega spring reviews scared me away, thanks for some more confidence. Have you ever handled the Seal XR?
Thank You for sharing. Does boker have/make a hard use folder?
i have a few of these in my collection and im all about overbuilt knives!.. working on trying to get midgards messers, PMP, and a few others but theyre not cheap
All are awesome knives I just picked up the sniperbladeworks lpc that's one thick hard use knife
SMKW has the Stitch in stock right now. Just got back with mine. I love it.
This is the episode I was looking for 👍
I foresee Cold Steel.... more Cold Steel, and then maybe some more Cold Steel... 👍😉👌
Love ur enthusiasm bro!¡!¡!¡ Love ur knives/& love ur knowledge even more!!!
I used to have an Extrema Ratio RAO… that was a chunk. Cool video
No zt's. What's your Honest opinion on the zt 0762 the new one thats not out yet? I'm thinking to light weight but love the blue on the carbon fiber
I've been wanting a Chaves for a while but I can't get over that pocket clip.
Same, man. Love the design, blade shapes, grinds, jimping, can't do the clip.
Good news is that sometime this year (next couple months I believe), he is going to release some models with more regular clips! So good to hear. Keep an eye on his site for updates
I also have to say that the mini Adamas is every bit as over built and tough as the larger one. It's just smaller form. The pivot is still beefy with lots of thread, full steel liners, large bronze washers, etc. Pound for pound best in class imo
how many times do you redo the intro card throw because it went sliding out of frame?
Love the video! I have the same taste, USA overbuilt, titanium with premium steel! I’m also on a mission to acquire a new scarab 2..
Im only 1:08 in and I have to comment.. I TOTALLY Agree with you ! its not about weight efficiency.. in fact to me the heavier it is the better the quality (in my head)
Heavy = Quality within reason.. I love Over built Folders... CS AD 10 for example.. gettinng mine toomrrow and the Tanto Friday!! CANT Wait..... I have the Proponent AND the Mini its a tank.. A bit big for EDC.. HOWEVER the Mini is one of my best EDC's... check it out I have the Copper and Brass.. WOW Hinderer is sweet
I know it’s unoriginal, but I truly love the 4Max! Shout out to Jimislash!!
Any idea where I can buy one of the Microtech Stitch Auto ? I’m looking every where but so far no luck!
Beast Knives are BEASTS!
Man! I'm going to have to get into overbuilts. I really dig them. But they just have so much more material lends itself to over price.
Im still loving the instant gram card slap .
I love my xl sheepdog tho
I still love my S.O.G. Seal XR Flipper !
💯❤🇺🇸💪❗
Love the selection of overbuilt knives. I’m a huge fan of overbuilt knives as well. I know it’s not American made but have you ever checked out the Halfbreed Blades LBF-01?
ZT 0308. Benchmade Presidio 2
Dutch Bushcraft Knives tested the Adamas. They found out it isn't as "overbuilt" as you think. The Axis lock isn't bullet proof.
What lock is bulletproof? And why do you need a knife lockup that is bulletproof?
I see an Adamas in my future. Like as soon as I finish watching this video.
Huge, heavy, monstrous bone-crushers!
The Artisan Cutlery Proponent in titanium is a frame lock (not liner lock).
However, the brass and copper versions are frame lock.
I love overbuilt knives my personal favorite is my Andres De Viilas Butcher!!!
Everything about these tanks is great. Foodprep? Go to the kitchen and prep your food, meanwhile I play with tanks. I Love my tiny TOPS Operator 7. I tried to fold it, but it's too thick.
I daily carry my Medford usmc fighter flipper full custom. It’s a tank for sure weighing in at close to 10oz but I’m sure it’s nothing compared to the Medford t you had lol
I hear you I just got a benchmade adams in cruwear I love how smooth it is “smooth criminal” my name for it haha 😂 love this know
Love the updated auto benchmade adamas :)
Check out the PMP alpha beast. It is one big fat beefy knife. The blade is nearly 1/2 inch thick. If it was available to purchase I certainly would get one. I do own a stitch and love it. 👍
Demko AD15 for the win... Close second is the AD20. ...considering all factors. But I like almost everything on this list
I carry the Medford Praetorian Genesis and I feel it's a nice EDC. I own a Praetorian T as well but it steps over the line of practical for most situations. My first EDC that I actually spent any real money on and the knife that got me into the hobby was the ZT 350. I still love that knife even though I would definitely rather carry the ZT308 at this point. My knife palette as gotten alittle more refined over the years and my wallet has gotten fatter.
I have a Praetorian T and a Micro Praetorian Ti. My Micro Ti I went nuts on and got every bell and whistle I could get, it’s also the same thickness as the regular Ti (they had some Blade Stock Blanks cut out already for something… can’t remember what, friends and family knives I think.) It’s definitely EDCable since all the Titanium kept the weight down, if you didn’t mind carrying a Knife that expensive around.
Really dig The Strider and the Microtech. Too bad they are both out of my knife spending range, although the microtech is cool enough where I am considering the $200
I have not experienced the Pretorian yet. The beefiest Medfort I have is the 187 - that would be my nomination for my favorite over built knife.
Second that!
Beautiful knives!!!!!!!
I LIKE THICK KNIVES AND I CAN NOT LIE! 😂❤
For me, the weight and robustness instills a confidence that, otherwise, would most likely be lacking. As a OTR flatbedder I need a knife that I KNOW can handle the abuse I will put it through
I carry a Benchmade 810 Contego with M4 for the serious stuff and a ZT0350 with S30V for the stuff that doesn't need the blade length and/or everything else.
I edc the 4max and love it. It's a fookin beast, and someone did a video where he's stabbing holes thru a car hood and it just keeps going.
I’m with you bro, 100%
I love overbuilt knives too. Lucky for my wallet most of them are unavailable or out of stock 98% of the time.
Same boat
Another solid toss today 6.8 on that card throw!
Hahahaha
My fav is Kizer flip shank, so unnessary thick mini folder.
i was looking for a slightly longer blade, bought Spyderco Resilience Black (probably Light too). its $100 here in Europe, with transport.
Dude, you need to check out the Sniper Bladeworks re issues they are doing. I grabbed an LPC but they are all incredibly overbuilt and awesome.
Hey man if you like beefy tanky knives you should check out the new 2021 SOG Kiku XR LTE its tanky but light enough to edc weighs the same as a para 3 with titanium scales and extra fidgety too with that sweet XR Lock. Definitely going be one of my next few future purchases xD Would love to see a review and your thoughts on it!
I think SMKW has a few Microtech Stitches available right now, just a friendly heads up to anyone looking for one!
I like big knives and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny
I cannot pay Hundreds of $$$$ but I do like my Schrade sch304.
We like stuff that don't make sense because we can!
Clothes are always practical ? Nope some hurt us but they look good. So I can have chonk knives ❤
My only folder i was able to get (tight budget) is a Strider RW-1 and i dont plan to change it at all...
Ah, the SR1. The only knife in my collection where you could beat a man to death with it without deploying the blade.
OFF GRID KNIVES!!!
Their whole line up is over built!
Very reasonably priced too. I have two now. I just got a very heavy duty 3" folder from them a couple of weeks ago and it was on sale for $59. It even has a lock to lock the lock if that makes any sense haha😎. Check them out! They have fixed blades as well.
Goat hunk of metal guy
Miller bros blades I think it’s the T1? Massively overbuilt awesomeness!! Lol
I like this type of content. 👍👍👍
