😂Another reason i dig your channel is your brutal honesty , or the balls to actually say what you feel. That's great because there's so many "yes" men out there that like everything and won't fill you in on the cons... Great info to have , thanks for bringing it to us.
It's so weird. I was buying knives every week spending stupid money. I then bought my grail and I have no want to buy any knife really at all. I still watch some videos and a lot of knives are on my radar but none of them have ever been put in a cart. Point being...the best way to see the return on investment and true value of a knife I vote buy you're grail if possible and it will save more money in the long run.
I was the same way with women until I met my wife, although me being the sole breadwinner and our divorce laws might have a bit to do with it... _and no, I've never bedded the female equivalent of a gas station tacticool folder, but I have gotten pretty close..._
Did similar. Kunwu orian is my everyday . Worth every cent . I have 16 other folders . Do carry a we on special occasions for bling. But love the orian so much .
My pov changed once i got every type of knife. Button lock,axis,liner ,balisong, fixed,gravity etc. its been awhile since ive bought and its kinda hard to find a knife (thats affordable) that makes me insta buy. For me its grails or nothing at this point
If you get the Pyrite lite, make sure you don't brace your palm against the full end of the knife when you close it. The blade pokes out the top back of the handle when it closes. Mine bit me twice before I switched my grip.
I've got heaps of different brand knifes that do thst I gotta admit cjrb on 2 of there knifes I've got, there isn't much on the end depending on the model of cjrb
Benchmade Narrows goes for around $350 on the aftermarket (knife swaps, not ebay or other reseller sites), which might make it an easier reach for people wanting to check one out.
I picked up an EZ out drop point sheepsfoot in S30V for 30 bucks. Thinned out the grind on a Tormek-esque sharpener. Really fun lightweight lockback and has a significant section of serrations (yeah, I know everyone hates on them but they definitely have their uses) that I end up using a LOT when it comes to stuff around the property. The sedulo is a nice “in between” option if you can’t decide between a bugout, griptilian, and mini-grip.
the gerber 06 auto is pretty good, it’s a slow auto but it’s a tank. the savvy, assert, fastball, and the gator (mainly the 154cm version bc it’s such a killer deal) are all good gerber folders. but other than those models i agree with you. even gerber’s fixed blades mostly suck
I just got the buck small Selkirk and it’s actually very very very good, the action is better than a lot of knives costing more, the contoured micarta and steel bolster is extremely comfortable, it has their bos heat treat, deep carry pocket clip, it’s a secret amazing knife.
Got a set of the XL skinny goat scales for my Deka - it is now my favorite choice out of my rotation. I really liked the Deka as it came from the factory, but the OG scales make the knife essentially a perfect EDC option. Edit - I should also say that applied weapons tech makes excellent scales. I threw a pair on a native… so good. You can’t go wrong with scales from either company.
I bought the Gerbet Scout and I love it. The micarta is very good, the crossbar lock is better than a lot of BM’s, its stop pin, crossbar and pivot are oversized, check it out.
Benchmade was always a little expensive, i have a few, but they have gone crazy with there pricing, it's crazy, and the James Brand knives look so cool and like quality, but like jared said they are even worse overpriced than Benchmade, some companies are price gouging, soyderco knives went up, but not as bad as others, I'm a Spyderco fan boy all the way so i will always try there new steels and there heat treats are tier 1, second to none, so it's worth a little extra$ for a little less premium materials for the price, because your$is going into the best heat treat on the market, they are bleeding edge when it comes to edge retention and new steel
I noticed u are wearing an ACAL hoodie in the thumbnail. Thats dope. I love his music, and i saw him live a couple years ago, and got to meet him. I also got to meet u at BladeShow recently, and im also a big fan of ur channel. Just thought it was cool. Great video btw.
@@bigglock5478Same! Just waiting for it to hit retailers here and I'll pick one up. Super nice profile, S35VN (which Cold Steel has always heat treated very well), Atlas lock and Titanium for a really solid price is a winning combination imo.
Bear knives, I live right up the road from there factory in Alabama. Been there a few times cause people I was with wanted to stop in. However I would never buy or carry one.
It’s a lovely touch to see you not putting the boot in for no reason! That’s one of the things that makes you a great reviewer in my opinion you don’t care if the companies get the hump with you or act like kids and just stop communicating with you it’s their lose if they do. As always hope you and Kara have a great week and stay safe and healthy both . 🫵🏻😘👍🏼
The Al Mar Ultra-Thin 40 is another affordable option for a "thin" knife. D2 steel, nice design, great action, nice price. Thanks for the video. Couldn't agree more with your optional choices.
I have a Gerber Firestorm that’s I bought years ago and it is an absolute Beast. I’ve used it to pry open windows that were painted shut and it didn’t even cause the knife any problems. I know they don’t make it anymore but it is one that I will hang onto 19:24
I have 4 knives I always come back to, that I always rotate between, Spyderco CruCarta PM2, Spyderco Rock Jumper, Spyderco Delica 4 M4 steel, and Chaves TAK. I always have one large and one smaller knife, usually one of the first 2 and one of the last 2.
I love Kiser knives. They are awesome. It’s obvious that they tune every knife they get. They take time and actually put in little contouring or things just to make the knife feel more comfortable or flip quicker whatever. Very impressed with Kiser and they’re very inexpensive for what you get.
Benchmade has never been cheap, but the way Benchmade's prices have developed in recent years is crazy. One recommendation that I can really make with a clear conscience is the Maxace Orion. Tsprof is the best sharpening system I've had in 40 years. I've had the Tsprof Kadet Pro for some time now, the system is simply brilliant. I prefer to sharpen knives freehand, but if I want the highest precision, e.g. when reprofiling edges, then the Tsprof Kadet Pro makes it so easy, precise and fast, it's a real pleasure. By the way, I use Atoma diamond plates.
Cjrb is def one of my favs. Got 3 of them back in 2022ish and edc 2 of em still. Gobi, crag, and rampart. The ram is nice and slicey but the d2 is rusting and detent is very weak. But the gobi is very comfortable to hold, still slicey, rpm9 is tough for (at the time) around $50, and got a nice acute tip. And the crag. Good thick blade for heavier duty tasks. Had to chop a 1 inch by 1/2 inch notch in a 1x4 for cable managing a shelf i was installing and didnt have my chisels so the crag was my savior. Also used it to shave/chop a door frame for a new lock installation. And after all that, it still had a respectable edge with that rpm9. And even though im a sweaty plump guy, they have either no rust or hardly noticeable spots. Definitely recommend their rpm9 lineup for those looking for budget friendly options. Id just stear clear of the d2 options. The rampart isnt bad, just not as exciting as the gobi or crag. Plus iv seen some nice models appear since my purchase years ago.
The Gewrber paraframe has been good - in the way you need an absolute beater that doesn't need to be sharp but sharpens easily. Sounds counter productive but sometimes using a knife as a tool doesn't mean cutting boxes and being ultra sharp allll the time. Could throw that thing against the wall sharpen it up with the under side of a ceramic plate and your good to go.
I will say I got an old school Gerber lockback knife from my Grandpa's collection that he gave me when I was kid and i used the crap out of it when I was younger. I would say it was solid but IDK how it would compare to the knives I have now. I also have a Gerber Truss and I am fairly happy with it as a multitool, though I don't use it much.
The 0450 was terrible. I had issues from day 1. The bevel was WAY off. I sent it back to them for a resharpen and it came back with an even worse grind. So I put in the work to sharpen it… Let me tell you- Sharpening the 0450 is horrible without removing the blade. Even then, the blade geometry is horrible. Even cutting an apple was AIDS.
Loved the Archer and OAO recommendations. I just got my Archer this week and am eyeing an OAO for probably around Christmas time when they do another 25% off deal. Good stuff overall though. 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent list right there. I agree with you on Gerber they seem to be cursed when it comes to folders, also they produce stuff in outdated steels for prices that are just not worth it sadly. They seem to have been much more better with fixed blades and I haven't tried their multitools.
Solid choices as secondary options to the main ones, lots of dissapointment regarding the main knives considering the options available, hope the Mysto is just a one off with weak springs or something, Crazy that a benchmade knife is more expensive than even a Chris Reeves knife is now. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.
The ZT0450 in carbon fiber was my first American made knife i had purchased. I had it for 2 weeks, hated it and sold it to buy a Spyderco PM2. Best decision ever
if i’m spending 5-600$ i’m buying a gun 1-200$ knife anymore than that is crazy unless your a a collector . if you collect them by all means yeah but spending that on a edc is wild to me . or unless your rich if you are rich then yeah lol
Hey, in my opinion you've a problem with the selection of stones, at 1:15 the shown knife has a lot of scratches in the edge - it really looks bad. SRY - but it's my opinion Cheers from 🇦🇹
I got a Russian paratrooper knife, at least that’s what they call it, it folds into the handle like the dragonfly, but I got it for $75, the maker is Atrophos or something like that but it has a nice pocket clip and it’s a gravity folder, I wish I had it on me to get the spelling right. You should check it out.
I feel like every time I see a knife from The James Brand it’s extremely overpriced. Benchmade there’s another company that charges an extra $100-$200 just because they are Benchmade…The price of the Narrows is outright offensive. 😂
In the Buff or Stoned for those Manix 2 LW OG scales?!? I gotta have 'em, but what finish?? I can't decide. What did you have in the video on the Gunstock version? Thanks
I have a question, but it's not quite on point: I'm trying to decide between S30V vs Spy 27 on a Spyderco Manix 2. I'm somewhat new to knives, so I don't understand if the difference is significant or minimal. I can get a new S30v version for about $120.00, and $150.00 for the Spy 27 version (blue G10). The S30v version is a matte satin finish, which I don't like as much as the Spy 27 version which is a satin finish. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
eBay has some good stuff.looking for a particular style of knife(original came with a butterfly emblem.that part doesn’t matter to me.)found all kinds of good stuff,some better than offerings from the butterfly ppl. & upgraded parts ,springs ect. Very reasonable. Some had butterflies some didn’t.Not looking to sell anything for profit,soo.
it has a lot of the same problems the small one does, thick grind and edge geometry and jared’s knife had issues with the heat treat but i would hope they’d fixed the heat treat
For the Hogue, wouldn't that light detent make it dangerous to pocket carry? If you're doing something active and it jiggles open in a pocket... yikes!
IV never had any luck getting some goat scales. They email me every now and then about release a couple sets of certain types. Seems they pretty busy. Their scales look great. I want some for my Ritter houge and deka. I'm how big a difference putting aftermarket scales on benchmade stuff. Makes them 100% better fs
Bear Opps has also gotten busted mis-labeling their steels! Unfortunately, I've also gotten some really crappy knives from Bear and Sons, the parent company of Bear Opps. Terrible quality control! Sad, because I'd love to support one of the few affordable USA made knife companies.
I watched the channel long enough to notice the absence of the "BANG NEEVES KNIVES" at the beginning 😢
Yes we need it back
I've been curious about that too
Same here, what happened?
Agreed! Bring back the BANG!

Worked for me with headphones. Can’t imagine finding a pair I like more, I don’t even look now, I just enjoy my nice headphones.

What knife was it?
If you get the Pyrite lite, make sure you don't brace your palm against the full end of the knife when you close it. The blade pokes out the top back of the handle when it closes. Mine bit me twice before I switched my grip.
I've got heaps of different brand knifes that do thst I gotta admit cjrb on 2 of there knifes I've got, there isn't much on the end depending on the model of cjrb
You learned a little quicker than me ,I had three matching cuts the day I got that knife.
That's kind of big deal. I'm surprised at this oversight.
Benchmade Narrows goes for around $350 on the aftermarket (knife swaps, not ebay or other reseller sites), which might make it an easier reach for people wanting to check one out.
100% agree with your list and suggestions on upgraded scales from OG.
Yeh, I did the Hogue Deka w/OG Goat scales...👍👍
Only Gerber I still own is the Strongarm. I've beat the hell out of it camping and it's never let me down. Their folders are all terrible lol.
Mine came super dull but I trust the design, learning to sharpen is why I’m here 😂
I picked up an EZ out drop point sheepsfoot in S30V for 30 bucks. Thinned out the grind on a Tormek-esque sharpener.

The gator and strong arm are the only 2 I would recommend. The gator is a beast
Every single thing i have ever gotten from gerber has broken. I hate them so much.
I have 2 Sencut Wautaga knives in D2 and they are great. $50 is a steal.
I just got the buck small Selkirk and it’s actually very very very good, the action is better than a lot of knives costing more, the contoured micarta and steel bolster is extremely comfortable, it has their bos heat treat, deep carry pocket clip, it’s a secret amazing knife.
Thanks for the heads up. I want Buck to make a comeback bad. I wish they would do some updated Buck Strider models.

Gerber Sludo...I'll send you mine. It's actually good.
*Sedulo
Love your content bro
another good option for the BM Narrows would be the cold steel FM1....super thin with s35 and a demko lock
Cold steel knocked it out of the park with the FM1. I’ll be picking one up soon
@@bigglock5478Same! Just waiting for it to hit retailers here and I'll pick one up. Super nice profile, S35VN (which Cold Steel has always heat treated very well), Atlas lock and Titanium for a really solid price is a winning combination imo.

Yeah, I want to support them, but have gotten a few real duds. Terrible quality.
(I'd still go visit the factory if I was nearby though. lol)
Were they making knives? Or just assemble
I completely agree. Anything Gerber and Schrade is a complete waste of money.
Thank God! your one of the first mainstream guys to speak out against the benchmade narrows. Benchmade has been ripping people off for fr too long.
Absolutely

The leek might be my favorite knife of all time, ive carried one for at least a decade if not longer and it still lives in my car to this day
I love my Launch 11 too bad that I can't EDC it in Califas.
I've been told the bear knife isn't even s30v. I'd avoid them like the plague.

Keep up with the good work! Love your channel
Put Kizer Omega springs in any bar lock that you has a "weak detent," and you will fix your problem.
Can you just buy those?
@@KeithKacaneki think so
I love Kiser knives. They are awesome. It’s obvious that they tune every knife they get. They take time and actually put in little contouring or things just to make the knife feel more comfortable or flip quicker whatever. Very impressed with Kiser and they’re very inexpensive for what you get.
im rocking a kershaw u showed the iridium and i love it, d2 steel is really good and the duralock is the thing i mostly love.

Maybe that Hogue has one of the springs broken? Im guessing you checked for that/would've felt it but still
The Archer makes me happy ljust watching you flip it. You can see the quality
Great idea for a video. Can't always be singing praises for everything. Sometimes you have to tell it like it is.

Good topic. How about which knives to keep and which to sell?
The ZT0450 in carbon fiber was my first American made knife i had purchased. I had it for 2 weeks, hated it and sold it to buy a Spyderco PM2. Best decision ever
I paid 200 bucks for a PM2 in K390 and can't use it because, like every other Spyderco I've ever bought, it doesn't fit my hand.
Great video, thanks. Just wanted to ask , since you mentioned Gerber, how is their Gerber zilch ?
I'm looking for a Hogue ex02. Anyone know a place I can find one? Used/or new G mascus scales
I have that POS gravity knife ($15). It’s so friggin heavy. I did buy a good Chinese one made of titanium and can recommend it.
if i’m spending 5-600$ i’m buying a gun 1-200$ knife anymore than that is crazy unless your a a collector . if you collect them by all means yeah but spending that on a edc is wild to me . or unless your rich if you are rich then yeah lol
Filing this one away because after my AD20.5 arrives I’m gonna solely focus on learning how to sharpen and save some money for a bit 😂
Can you review the bear ops rancor iv please.
Hey,
in my opinion you've a problem with the selection of stones, at 1:15 the shown knife has a lot of scratches in the edge - it really looks bad.
SRY - but it's my opinion

Do you recomend the Tuya Wrath ?
I got a Russian paratrooper knife, at least that’s what they call it, it folds into the handle like the dragonfly, but I got it for $75, the maker is Atrophos or something like that but it has a nice pocket clip and it’s a gravity folder, I wish I had it on me to get the spelling right. You should check it out.
Miguron is another great option
Have you tried the Gerber "Sumo" ?? it's actuaslly decent,and a bit large (axis lock)
I love my reate exo 1st gen tanto without the safety button

The S30v version is a matte satin finish, which I don't like as much as the Spy 27 version which is a satin finish. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Please review the Fallkniven Plx folders, convex grind, amazing build quality and now they are available in elmax and cos I believe.
Like you, i like very much the large blade Elementum ..!
I’m sad to hear about the Myto, I was hoping it would be a larger nice version of the Deka.

Idk i had kershaw theowing knives and they snapped in half when o trhew them
😅All my axis lock knives open that way including my Manix 2
CJRB, Kizer, Miguron, Civivi…all have models with better value than brands 2-3 times more expensive.
What about the ZT452? The big brother. I quite enjoy that one. While I can definitely see a smaller version not working well.
it has a lot of the same problems the small one does, thick grind and edge geometry and jared’s knife had issues with the heat treat but i would hope they’d fixed the heat treat
Best reviewer in the knife game
For the Hogue, wouldn't that light detent make it dangerous to pocket carry? If you're doing something active and it jiggles open in a pocket... yikes!
Those three gravity knives all seem the same in the video, hard to tell other than the blade grind/type that you mentioned
IV never had any luck getting some goat scales. They email me every now and then about release a couple sets of certain types. Seems they pretty busy. Their scales look great. I want some for my Ritter houge and deka. I'm how big a difference putting aftermarket scales on benchmade stuff. Makes them 100% better fs
I want a Narrows soooo much
It's almost spot on what I want in a secondary carry
But at max half that price lol
Ts proof is realy cool sharpening system, I've got kadett pro and I love it. Спасибо за видео. Stay sharp⚔️

Yeah I agree, I'd love the day when the companies in the business of knives gets that part right
Bear Opps has also gotten busted mis-labeling their steels!
Unfortunately, I've also gotten some really crappy knives from Bear and Sons, the parent company of Bear Opps. Terrible quality control! Sad, because I'd love to support one of the few affordable USA made knife companies.
Doing the Lords work. Make more of this.
Love the ACAL hoodie!!
Have you tried the cold steel fm1 jared
It looks like better. But i like the Worksharp pro ..! ^^
You beat the hell out of that knife flicking it at your desk lol
Bought one Gerber and never again. They arent even that cheap. Kershaws can be had for less.
I can't bring myself to spend $600 on any knife that's not a fixed blade.
Yes! Kershaw makes great knives ....
Good for the price, they just don't last very long
How long is long. My oldest Kershaw is the first knife I ever bought and it's 13 years old and cost me $40.
Best type of videos
