I never thought about that but it makes sense...single-action would be the way to go in that case. Anything to avoid carrying a utility knife, the world's most boring knife!
@@joejones9520 in my experience the closest to an OTF that can be easily used cleaned and maintained is the Civivi button lock elementum. Not the button lock II but the original. It has a super fast action and is a very simple knife making it easily cleaned and maintained but still fast as hell. The slightest movement of the hand can deploy and put the blade away in a blink of an eye.
@@survivedoomsday all prices seem to be going up but benchmade seems to have gone up the most. It will stay that way because people will keep buying them even at their crazy prices.
The benchmade narrows is the PERFECT example of the way they’ve COMPLETELY lost their minds with pricing.. 580 (or even 525 street price) for that knife is asinine.. that’s a 250 dollar knife. The raghorn for 400?? What are they thinking? I’ve bought several over the years but I won’t buy a single knife from them at these prices.
Asking these companies about their ONE knife is just kind of unfair... we missed so much! It's so rushed. Us knife people pore over each detail of the knife, steel type, fixed blades, folders etc...
I know, but this was 31 minutes long edited and took a solid 2 days to film - and we didn't even hit all of the knife makers. I thought this would be a unique angle, listening to the knife makers themselves and limiting them to one choice.
Benchmade has lost thier damn mind with the Narrows. That price is exorbitant. I'm sure if they come down from sniffing thier own farts long enough to price at a reasonable price it'll sell well but at that price it's not going to be moving much.
@@emanuelroth7960 Bit ignorant to make such a mass generalization when WE Knife and Kizer exist and pump out knives better than damn near every American company.
@@jax3695 if you see nothing wrong with buying unnecessary luxury items from communist china, then that's your issue not mine. I'm not the one that is being ignorant though.
Nothing is cheap anymore, and plenty of people seem willing to drop serious money on knives. It's become a collector thing. If you're looking for raw functionality to cut X or Y, I agree. If you're willing to pay extra for style and impressive construction, these knives work for that.
