Nick I know you aren't an "edc" channel, but what is your opinion on the best way to carry an edc? I've been using a pocket organizer to carry a pen, flashlight, and pocket knife, but I would prefer to have something to carry a more comprehensive edc. What would you recommend?
you should check out fox libar .... its m390 cf handle slipjoint knife under 100bucks im carrying it right now and i think its pretty good for the price
By the way... "I'd call this a drop point although actually it's dumb because the point doesn't drop... either way, it's a blade" - best moments, Nick... ;-)
I like the grey model, and I like how thin it is overall. Price really isn't bad, I mean you're getting titanium and M390 lol. Some hate slip joints, but I don't mind em. I'd get it, seems like a solid buy to me anyways.
Depends-- a good traditional slipjoint with firm tension & half-stop can be much safer than a mediocre frame, liner, or backlock (of which there are many). Give me a serious slippie made with precision and I don't have to worry about a lock that can move, slip, break, become deformed, and fail at the worst moment.
To be honest Nick, if you're a traditional knife person I don't think these will have much appeal either way. *~* Just snagged me a GEC Beer & Sausage knife in canvas. Oh yeah, baby...
Hot take: inches and feet are the only part of imperial that makes sense and I think should stick around. Not necessarily for everything everywhere, but for any kind of workshop craft, like woodworking, metalworking, maybe industrial applications, etc. In these situations I find it sooooo much easier to use inches and feet because they are better suited for quick mental math. Inches come with halving and doubling built in, feet are a highly composite number of inches giving more ways to cleanly divide it than 10. In science, metric wins because orders of magnitude are the most common operation being performed. In shop applications, inches and feet win because basic arithmetic operations are the most important operation being performed.
How are you going to praise a knife for being so thin and then a minute later take points off for it being too thick blade stock? Why not have the thickest possible stock?
@thistubeisfucked True enough. Nick would have called it out, he's super attentive to detail. It reminds me of the front end of the Lexus LFA. There's a big gap where the hood meets the grill. It's designed that way for air intake, but it just looks like bad panel fitment. I guess it's a design feature, but it sure makes it look like bad fitment. It would bother me.
correct: inches are dumb. there's a reason everywhere else has stopped using them. Inches are defined in metric now too so the USA is literally just making things pointlessly hard for themselves.
I love them it makes me so happy to see a slip joint has pocket clips. Thank for making this one
The only sort of "modern traditional" I've ever carried daily is the panchenko bean. Pretty excited to give these a try.
I carry a bean. Love it!
@@happycamper4315 the figit factor on the bean is next level...
Dope knife, nothing about it that's really traditional and I think it's better for it ;)
Nice scalpels. They come in micarta on the site as well, lookin goood.
Serge is arguably my favorite maker. I have several pieces of his and love his work
The orange one is appealing, get it get it?

What else do you need tho?
He had an old video or three on this topic. Shows off what all he carries.
I really like these! Its definitely a nice clean look. Thanks for sharing🙏🍻
Nothing more dangerous than an out of control pun slinger.
More dangerous than a non-locking knife?
@@Pentti_Hilkuri There's nothing dangerous about a non locking knife. As long as you remember which end of the handle the brains are on.
@@finnmcool2 I would bet non locking knives have cut off more fingers than the yakuza.
@@Pentti_Hilkuri If that were the case folding knives wouldn't have caught on a couple thousand years ago like they did.
I hope the production versions have a reversible pocket clip 😔
love the orange serge blade shape
Nice to see some new UK legal knives. I just hope someone here will stock them.
you should check out fox libar .... its m390 cf handle slipjoint knife under 100bucks im carrying it right now and i think its pretty good for the price
That was a gem of a review of some punchenko knives.
Those are some fancy Sodbuster Jrs!
Tried the Blackfox Bean gen2 and it was way to watered down unfortunately. Now this I like!
Would you consider these designer made knives like you discussed in the podcast?
Yup, for sure
Nick Shabazz okay, just wanted to clarify that I got it right. I bought one last night, they sold out in an hour!
When you said that's a "nit-pick" I though you said that's a "nick-pick" lol
Wish had a non slipjoint option.
I bet if you flipped the blue handled one onto the clip side it's blade and the sheep's foot's blade would the exact same shape .
UK legal , less then 3 inches , non locking , from the UK
Just a shame he won't post outside the US :(
Ive been curious about this guy's work
I like the blue one !
Nick, if you ever stop with the bad jokes I know you have been replaced by an alien.
First drop in 50 minutes. 6pm PST 9/8/20
Serge is my favorite knife maker. Without question.
Here's the vocal fan base of millimeters.
Might be legal in the UK, still Serge is "shipping only to the US" so... let's call it "ugly".
By the way... "I'd call this a drop point although actually it's dumb because the point doesn't drop... either way, it's a blade" - best moments, Nick... ;-)
Agreed, something perfect for the UK market and not available. Happens far too often :(

I'd get it, seems like a solid buy to me anyways.
Most dangerous knife types known to man:
1. Dull knives
2. Non-locking knives

The only problem I have had with a non-locking blade is when I try to stab/poke with the tip
@Patrick G The question is why so much blind loyalty to locking knives ?
The top one...

I enjoyed the Jurassic park joke .

At 2:12 and 6:08 dat gap between the blade and back-spring. On two different knifes.
@thistubeisfucked That's a whole lotta chamfering. That gap looks like 1/16".
@thistubeisfucked True enough. Nick would have called it out, he's super attentive to detail.

Love my traditionals along with flippers, hmm. Autos. Well. All knives.....except Zhunters. 😁
"Hi Serge" hahaha
I'll have to use triangle puns
correct: inches are dumb. there's a reason everywhere else has stopped using them. Inches are defined in metric now too so the USA is literally just making things pointlessly hard for themselves.
We fought a war for the right to do this! 😁
Hey man inches was Britains idea......
As a lover of traditional and modern slip joints, these 3 seem overly vanilla. boring. Forgettable.
Why did you have to show me these Nick. My wallet is not going to thank you! Although excellent review as usual.
No way to swap the pocket clip for lefties? Pass.
No love for the sinister
Not first, but 69th like :)
The Butcher's Boy might like the cleaver but he carries a lockback in all 3 books.
