Good video. Lots of things to consider here. Beginners might not pick up on these important things to consider without a little bit of tutelage. You’ve done a good service to lots of those people who have not made mistakes in purchases yet. Thanks for the video sir. 👍🏻
I agree with you. people look for gimmicks and end up with something they don't like and won't carry. someone elses best may not be your best. hands are different.
You should do a video on the differences between manual, spring assisted, automatic, and gravity knives. It's always surprising that more people don't know the difference when getting into knives.
Ive been sliced open with a pioneer woman paring knife on the street. I was able to parry a tactical folder with a fixed blade neck knife on the street, definitely marine x is correct on this stuff.
Ive had bad luck with folders, and i have a background in escrima and kali knife fighting. I find myself perfering fixed blades normal, belt and neck and a actual box cutter cause folders broken on me with cheap and expensive folders. My EDC will always be a fixed blade a minimum of 3, box cutter, four inch wooden dowel and a pewpew.
I haven't had a pocket knife in a while because I've been rocking the Utility Flipper from Exceed Designs. I also rock a Victorinox Mini Champ as my back up knife 😎
I own 12 microtech knives. They hold up extremely well and clean af. I'm thinking of selling a few to get a rmj snuggles or cuddles. You know edc a war hammer
Locking mechanism: liner lock and left handedness are not a great combo. It is a pain, but if one is not into the whole single-handed operation thing, it is manageable.
My feature list goes something like 1: must be able to open one handed TO LOCK, 2: blade length is 3-3.5 inches, 3: non-coated blade, or a blade finish that doesn't show wear easily, 4: non-serrated edge, 5: able to safely close the blade one handed, & 6: scales/handle that doesn't show wear easily. Of course ergonomics, clip style, blade style, and blade steel all come into play too, but I'm more flexible on those items.
I guess the big "knife feature" that grinds my gears are blade shapes. It's important to understand why a blade is shaped a certain way and if that shape will help you do the job you need it to do. If you're just cutting tape and boxes all day, you probably don't want a persain style blade, you likely will appreciate a sheeps foot or wharnecliff style blade with a very defined and pointed tip to make utility cuts. Just like how dagger style blades with double edges don't make the best cutting blades but excell in stabbing. Get the blade shape for the job you want to use it for, but also choose what you like too, don't let me ruin your fun. Understanding the design princible behind blade shapes can help inform a buyer on what they might want.
If you like the 0770 You should try the 0393GLCF It’s not assisted, but it also doesn’t need it It’s a nested frame lock, in 20CV Really cool knife That and the Artisan Cutlery Satyr Also a great knife
