How could you not choose the knife I had invested so much of my tiny brain thought process into you choosing. On the bright side, there's so much spaghetti in my pants right now I won't have to go grocery shopping this week. So there's that. But, HOW DARE YOU!
I laughed *tooo* hard at this
This year's top 10 list you put together is fantastic. I own a injection molded MSI and a blacked out Vision FG, that fight for my pocket on the daily. So I can understand the struggle in choosing your number one pick. Both are extraordinary examples of the modern pocket knife done to perfection. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings to the table.
Great list. I have personally picked up 5 of these over the past year and agree completely with your internal debate between the Vision FG and Stitch. When choosing for my day, I have the same debate but wind up with the Stitch in my pocket more than any other. The action and Ergos are amazing and its just so freaking cool!
@metal_complex
I give you some mad props, bro. Seeing the stats of posting almost 800 videos for the year!! That more than 2/day. Very impressive. A true testament to your commitment, dedication, and contributions to the EDC community. Thank you so much for everything you do. Stay rad!
Just got the Sencut crowley based off your review. Love it for the price and quality boss. You are doing a great service to the knive loving community 👍🏻💯
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this channel! It is truly entertaining and educational. Looking forward to seeing more content next year.
Got my first civivi knife this year. I am truly impressed with their knives. For the money you can’t beat them.
I'd love to see an updated top 10 or 20 best knives of all time in the new year.
I have the We Vision R and love it. Such a cool piece. The FG version is an amazing deal. Definitely worthy to be on your list.
Fun watching this... Appreciate your input and your passion for these knives. Great fun. 2024 is going to be interesting.
Just got my vision yesterday and you're right. Love the Stitch (have 3 autos and 1 manual) but have a hard time carrying them. As always love your reviews and opinions. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Looking forward to 2024 and more knives 😂
Love your stuff, thanks for sharing all these guys AKA knives. Really enjoy the awareness you example, signs of a clear mind.
The manual Stitch is on my shortlist. Bought my buddy the auto (Stitch) and it’s a sweet piece!
Wow, I’m actually in complete agreement with you’re 1 and 2. I was also suitably wowed by the Stitch when I received it. I am super excited about Microtech for 2024. Can definitely see a Cypher and a Combat Troodon on my heads up display. Merry Christmas MT and Fam!
My G10 Stitch is one of 5 knives I purchased in 2023 and it it by far my favorite in my collection! Although I haven’t built up the courage to cut with it yet because it’s also the most expensive knife I’ve ever purchased other than my XM-18.
Well done ! I scored 3 out of your lineup- Microtech MSI, Stitch and Vision. Thank you for all the great reviews.
Thanks for bringing us a great 2023...cant wait to see what this channel brings in 2024...Merry Christmas buddy...👊
Howdy n Merry Christmas! Great show! Agree on Stitch and MSI…also the Vision is amazing for the money! But the new Microtechs just are so comfortable and feel so well made that they rule! Thanks!
I remember looking at the microtech msi and seeing the auto stitch and first thought was man I wish they had a manual stitch..saw that it came out and was like yes this will be my next big knife purchase… so can’t wait to get one in hand.
My fav is still the Ziffius but I have very specific aesthetic tastes. Have a wonderful holidays brother! Thank you for everything!
fair choice man. i love the stitch, was one of those knives where I instantly knew i was gonna buy another one down the line 😂
Just got a ultem vision fg, love it. Thanks MC!
MC: What do you bring to the table?
Vision FG: I AM THE TABLE!
The vision fg looks amazing. I’d have to find ti scales for it right away though. I’m not a fan of the ultem at all ands have kind of swayed away from micarta lately. Kind of doing the monochromatic thing right now myself. Mostly milled ti in the collection with a small amount of carbon at this point.
if you don’t mind carbon fiber i say grab the knifecenter exclusive vision FG in s35vn 🤷♂️
I got the Miguron Akri for Christmas and by far the best knife I own and a joy to play with!!! The one I got is the titanium scales and the sandblasted M390 blade!!!
Used some of my Christmas bonus and bought a Microtech MSI. Cannot wait to get it and test out the new RAM lock.
My top 3 that I personally owned are:
Kizer Varatas
Divo growler v2
Kunwu Padre
Honorable mentions:
Divo Pony Stout
Qvist invert
EMPEDC Pulse
Newbreed EDC clydesdale
You are right about the Vision…bought one based on your review….and it’s awesome
MC. What a fun and a great list. Very entertaining. One of my top 10 is the Kunwu Padre and the Stitch of which both I own. Happy Holidays MetalComplex.
Great picks. I personally would pick the MSI over the stitch, mostly based on utility and how well it cuts, but either are solid options for knife of the year. Merry Christmas, M.C.!
Hey MC, long time fan. Appreciate the education and entertainment you’ve been putting out all these years. Qq-you’ve been a huge Hinderer nut for a while, and you also went through a big Shaman modding phase. Obviously our tastes constantly evolve, as do knife designs. Curious how you’d stack rank your best Hinderer, Shaman (Excalibur?), and Stitch?
I agree with your opinion of the Vision FG. I bought one for a friend and he loves it.
Excellent list. Merry Christmas MC.
I've bought dozens of knives this year and couldn't agree more. The Ram-Lok Stitch is the best. Microtech killed it this year!!
I agree, Stitch is my pick as well, I have the Aluminum scales with the apocalyptic blade and my goodness is it insane!
Love these types of videos. Not sure where the Knifeguy/Knifechurch went but that was my Favorite... Happy Holidays 🎄🎅
Impressive collection mate. Hope Christmas was giving & have a safe New Year to you & family. Cheers cobber from Australia.
Just ordered an MSI. Hoping to find the sweet spot between my PM2 and Adamas.
Love your Number 1 pick especially now after owning one
I have a Veli coming my way in a couple weeks. Very excited! Did you ever handle the WE Ignio? It’s my pick for most impressive WE knife. The Solid is very cool, but the Ignio is cool AND a bit more accessible.
Interesting...I happen to have purchased 7 of these knives this year all of which I include on my favorites of the year. The stitch was number 3 for me and thats only because I picked up a Large Sebenza in Magnacut and the milled titanium AD20.5 in 20cv this year, otherwise it would have easily been my favorite. Carried it today !
Stitch is my personal favorite this year. Second for me would be the gen 3 ludt, it just suits my needs perfectly for an everyday user... especially with a partially serrated blade lol!
Great list, only missing knife for me is the Kizer Veratas. Such a banger for $135 the other day on Amazon.
Thx for the good vids, merry xmas MC
Thanks for the video! I've been wanting a new knife for a while. I've had my CRKT M16-14SFG for a while now and I want a big boy knife made with big boy materials 🤣 ordered a couple Civivis
🎉MC I think you missed a great one it sold out pretty quick anyway it's the Bergblades Sweeney and it was my knife of the year. Thanks again for all your content and contribution to the community.
All hail Winterblade!! Happy holidays to you and your family. Cheers 👐
Woohoo! Love it when I already have his top choice, since it can make them harder to get for a little bit.
That Civivi Vision F, I’m probably gonna go get as a TY gift. Very cool tool, almost jewelry and could do some serious work
I want to get my hands on the We solid, to check it out. I bought a Cybernetic from them, and I cannot believe how nice it is for the price. I feel like with We's recent releases, they have finally caught up to Reate, as far as quality goes. If I was making my own list, the Cybernetic would be on the podium for sure.
I thought you were going MSI at the end but can’t fault you for stitch. Probably the coolest blade out there AND now with a manual ram lock?! Cmon!!! Great list.
Curious where you stand on the precision knife works wharnetac?
I have the Microtech MSI with the polymer handle. I couldn't find one with G10. I am hopeful for a set of titanium scales! I love the lock and love the blade shape.
The Civivi FG omg! I've managed to resist so far I'm holding out for a mini version. With Civivi's track record and the knifes success my geuss is we'll see one next year.🤞
hey man, stumbled upon your AMA video and realized how massive your forearms are. do you train grip strength?
Wicked good choice for best knife happy holidays
Love the spine locks need one in the collection
The MSI really shocked me. USA made for $170 and it’s HUGE. I didn’t think it would be that big but after carrying it for a couple months I love it! Such a great knife for the money
What's everyone thinking about the polymer MSI? Been wanting one. Currently g10 is out of stock in my area but ive been hearing good things about the polymer that it isn't flimsy.
Best 2023 purchase for me was the Arcade. I had regrets when first handling it but it's suddenly in my top rotations as well!
How cool would the Cicada knife be as an OTF dual edge blade? Love it, so creative
Demko Shark cub MC!!! Shark Cub!!!!
Super surprised you haven’t checked it out yet given how much you love the 20.5!
I’m absolutely in love with my Ti Slicer Cub and Demko Knives managed to bring the price down a bit on these with the 20cv/Ti costing 250 compared to the 315 - 330~ of the very slightly bigger Ti/3v (or the 20cv variant) 20.5
I like the size significantly more as it comes right in line with classic faves of mine like the para 3, detent feels a bit stronger like there’s a stiffer coil spring in there and best of all it has reasonable blade stock for a knife of it’s size zero rather than the super thick stock of the 20.5.
Oh and the sharpening choil/plunge grind is done much better
Ziffius and Sentinal Strike from WE/Civivi would be my top 2. My Vision FG makes my finger hurt after just a couple flips, so not a huge fan. Didn't buy many others this year. So that'd be the extent of my list. :D
I too have issues with it hurting my finger tip.
I know a lot of people don’t like that cicada but it really is beautifully done. We have a lot of cicadas where I live and I have a certain respect for them.
Always my favorite video of the year, except when the ENTIRE collection video comes out. That is when we see the BIG $$ knives.
Wow just how many digits were in that check Microtech sent you?
Merry xmas bro and happy holidays
Awesome vidéo, completly agree with thé final choice since i got it and oh god !
Do you have any recommendations for a knife with a glass breaker?
There can be only one. What a great year for knives.
Solid choice. I love that Stitch!
Agreed that's my knife of 2023 too!
I like them all. Great show.
I’m going to give my honorable mention to the Tactile Maverick, it’s seems they’re ironing out the hiccups it had at launch. I adore mine. Contoured titanium, thin blade stock, excellent heat treat, USA made!
Perfect choice for the best man! Stitch is perfect!
I’m a serious twine cutter, what knife do you use for twine?
Love the Vision FG. It would take 2nd place behind the Microtech MSI for me
Would LOVE a 4.25 inch blade version of The Civivi Vision FG!!
Love all some really good picks . Have a very merry Christmas
Does anyone know if the super lock gets easier to depress on the civivi vision?
I’m a simple guy, I see a video from MC, and I click on it!!
Btw, Awesome line up! Thoroughly enjoyed this upload 💯🙌🏼
I can't say I agree with you on the Stitch, but that's just because I don't have one to compare lol. Great list MC
Thanks mate👍🏼🇦🇺
Hey MC. Knowing that you really liked your 20.5, do you rate the shark cub?
Finally, it's here!!!!!
We both picked the same knife for #1. Im playing with he exact same one rn. The auto is a beast too
I'm slightly surprised that you didn't mention the Reate Exo-m but still a great list!
I love that Made in the USA is a part of your evaluation criteria.
As a man who has a long history of making fun of Microtech and Tony Marfione in the comments section of your channel, I agree with your top pick.
Even I can’t talk trash about Microtech anymore after they started releasing these RAM-lock models. Absolutely unexpected move from Tony and the crew over there.
Mad respect to them for releasing something that caters specifically to knife enthusiasts. They win this year in knives hands down.
I agree with a lot of your list and own a few but I would have to say Microtech and WE (civivi and sencut kind of included) kind of won the year! I would have probably thrown the padre or pulsar on the list too… kunwu kind of the china bang for buck value house deserved a spot lol
The WE Nefaris is amazing. BUT WE made the decision to make it a Limited Edition for no reason at all. When they could have made it their new evergreen model. There are a few available but chances are that people won't be able to get the color they want. I truly hope WE make it a regular model in different colors than the Limited run since it should not have been a LE release in the first place.
The vision fg is probably the least regretted purchase of all time. I bought it very soon after discovering it which i NEVER do, but I have never felt a knife I like better.
Don't ever change doing you ❤ big fan for years now MC
Since i bought my vision fg. I've only worn one other knife, a second vision fg.
Now you’ve seen the Reate Tiger would that replace any of these top ten choices?
Here I was expecting that QSP button lock to be #1 , silly me 😅😂. Great video MC
*Reads title*
We all know the Vision FG is #1
Edit: 2:13 HAHAHA THOSE ARE BOTH MINE AND THEY ARE FANTASTIC
You had an amazing year MC! Keep it up!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all knife nerds!
GTC is my favorite of the year.
Have you had the chance to check out a demko ad22?
Serious coin right?
No Kunwu on the list? I only have 2 from your list but its #1 & #2! Though I think the Kunwu Padre is my favorite pickup this year.
