That's true, how do You know if You don't like something if You've never tried it? At the beginning I hated the look of Spyderco knives. But I've given them a chance and I was sold by their quality. And You don't like holes, huh? Boy...if or when You will find Yourself a wife, You'll be surprised!
On benchmade OTF knives, there is a screw that holds the blade to a small carrier that keeps it on track, and said screw tends to walk itself out after a while. I had to disassemble mine and threadlock that screw in, and the small vibration and blade play problems were fixed permanently. That may be why your benchmades have a slight noise when tapped
Here we are 3 years later, do you still have it? Do you still like these 2 & still love Spartan customer service ? or did you move it along ? Tell us more would love to see a follow up.
My Endura is so old that it has an FRN pocket clip cast into the grip. Still looks new. My Delica has been sharpened over the years so much that it's semi-retired, but still shaved hair. I bought the Tenacious as an EDC knife a few years ago, and it has held up surprisingly well. In my wallet, I keep a Spydercard plain edge for those times when I don't want to have a knife in my pocket. I wish Spyderco would bring it back. These have all seved me well for many years. I can recommend Spyderco, based on utility, but none of them will win a beauty contest.
Awesome knife man! I’m from Texas and I have been trying to buy a silver stag beef skinner knife but have been having no luck finding that exact knife, even tried looking on the silver stag website.
Finally someone broke down breaking in the knife. I did this on mine too and am still amazed every zt knife I have is still my favorite knife every time. Haha
Check the Bail the WW2 models were marked there by Stevenson the Kingston models some are marked some are not. if it has brass liners it's from 1944-45 Main blade will be marked U.S.A.
Can you expand on "the end of the world knife" We would probably die of hunger before the knife brakes Is a sincere question, what do you mean? It's been 4 yrs since your video Today's model has improved steel btw Ty in advance
I meant a knife with great durability, edge retention and purpose. In 2024 my "end of the world knife" would likely be a fixed blade in the best all purpose steel of the time. If I chose one folder it would likely be a Chris Reeve in magacut or similar. This knife would have mi imal plastic to stand up to all use possible. Thanks for watching.
This knife has become by fave Benchmade out of 6 thank I have. Well... Mini Adamas with CF & Magnacut is pretty dang nice as are the others but when I go to my camp in the valley the Super Freek is with me along with my Bradford 4.2 Magnacut fixed blade. The Freek's M4 will stand up to about anything and the scales literally melt in your hand....so comfortable to use. Well done Benchmade
Please tell me you’re gonna do the paper cut test with those dollah bills, it would be a great way to spice up an otherwise boring video… puhlease cut up the dollahs!
Kills the most dangerous game just as easily too... Nothing quite like having a Buck knife on your hip. Beats all these pretentious super steels and pocket sharks most carry these days who only use their knifes to open Amazon boxes.
I remember as a teenager in Montana all my friends carried the BUCK 110. It was like $50.00 in the early 70's. I still have a 110 today. But i carry my RECON-1 every single day. I have all kinds of good pocket knives, but its that RECON-1 that i rely on. And will for the rest of my days
Both these models have the same serious design flaw. Unless handled rather delicately, the blade can "overclose", its edge making contact with the frame. This can render the most carefully applied edge an absolute waste of time.
Hi my friend. I know this is an older video, but you still make some good points in it. For ease of carrying without alarming others around us, folders or OTFs are a must. Fixed blade knives are more reliable since there are no moving parts to malfunction. However, they're just not practical to EDC because of the size. A quality OTF or side opening knife is probably the only choice most of us have. I have several very good quality knives that I carry daily depending on what I've got going on that day. When I'm more concerned with self protection, I carry a full size Benchmade Infidel dagger blade. Camping/hiking, a swiss arm knife. Hunting, a fixed blade field dress knife. EDC, a slip joint pocket knife. BTW, I've had a couple of Autocrats for 2-3 years now. I don't recall any malfunctions though I'm not a fidgeter like many auto owners are. I think the Autocrat is a fine auto OTF, though not really practical for anything other than self protection and I prefer the Infidel for that. One of the best EDC knifes available is the Benchmade Phaeton because of the size, flatness, and drop point blade.
So,is it me or does the price for those seem to have more then doubled since last year? I remember getting one like 2 years max ago for like 79.99 Cad and now they sell for 179.99.
