5 Most Iconic Switchblades  

😮

Only thing wrong with the Buck it doesn't have a clip on the back to to carry it on your waste the other knives have have it. Buck is a strong well made knife

Auto

Huh? I don’t get it,they all do knife review videos?

@@jamesgibbs8827 thank you for the kind words James. It is my honor to have served you ✌️👊

Thank you for your service brother!

Too bad the action on 06 autos is trash garbage. They’re so slow and lethargic. No pep in it’s step. That knife requires an immediate spring replacement to even make the cut as an acceptable auto.

@@Mr1121628 served me just fine as-is. And it was free from Uncle Sam.

100 💯 PERCENT right

wish my younger dumb ass arm had known that before i stabbed myself accidentally when my aggressor decided to grab my zip up sweater and hold on to it =_= lol don't be dumb take the sweater off lmao

EXACTLY…

Blame Arya for the coffee cup...

@@JohnJohn-bq5owhow did that get you to stab yourself ?

None of them have a gun safety

@@Mr_Chest I mean that "red Is dead" dot is pretty much a mossberg 500 saftey

My index finger "IS" my safety!!!

I would've thought the HUGE flag decal but there you go, ( I'd find a way to remove that though)

You’ve clearly never had a switchblade open in your pocket

😂😂😂😂

Never understood the whipped man jokes. Like if someone loves you, why would they “send you to the dog house” so to speak? Men who either hide purchases from their wives, or allow wives to punish them for making purchases are useless humans

Right without the stilettos the rest wouldn't be able to exist the stiletto is the true definition of a grandfather switch blade

@@shawns2820 you obviously don’t open your knives properly (for fast deployment). You can flick a Spyderco open faster than these 5 knives.

​@@shawns2820 I'm talking about knives with flipper tabs, thumb studs, etc., especially the ones that have a strong detent. Something more traditional like a Buck 110 definitely wouldn't be able to open this fast, haha.

All but the Protech are slowish

Yes, laws restricting "switchblades," or "butterfly knifes," or "gravity knives" are ridiculous. They banned just about every type of folding knife except tiny slip joints in the UK, and people have continued to stab each other at pretty much the same rate as before the ban, except now they use kitchen knives and screwdrivers. When one human wants to jab another human with a sharp pointy thing, they tend to find some sharp pointy thing to do the job. The confusing patchwork of US knife laws just puts average people in danger of accidently becoming felons if they wander across a state or county line with the wrong kind of blade in their pocket.

@@hatuletoh In Genesis the first murder happened with a rock, are we going to ban rocks now? I also agree with U.S. knife laws being weird, but I'd much rather it be on a state level rather than federal because if it were federally regulated then stupid laws would apply to all 50 states. I also happen to live in a state with no knife laws which is amazing.

There are sharpening systems that would make it easy as. Spyderco’s Sharpmaker is probably the best example.

I'm the guy that sharpened that actual knife, and I didn't have any problems

@@matthewotto8322 1, 2, buckle my shoe.

I recently got a combat troodon and after using it a bit and going back to the Ultratech, the Ultratech felt super easy to actuate. When I first used an Ultratech I could barely do it more than once or twice. Definitely not for weak thumbs. I do believe you can send it to Microtech under warranty for regular maintenance purposes, but you could be out of a knife for a few days unless you have more than one.

And useless for just about anything that isn't a loaf og bread

Man they’re very high dollar. I good buddy of mine had one a few years ago and I wanted it bad but he never would come off of it for less than $450, he would up dying a couple years ago and I’ve no idea what happened to that knife.

@@warrenmcelroy4718 I don’t know why you even tried to buy it off of him. $450 is a scam. They’re $200 on the Buck Knives website. They’re only $100 more expensive than a normal 110.

@@UltraMagaFan I tried to buy it because I wanted it, and not just any auto 110, but THAT one specifically. It wasn’t sold by Buck but was sent in to someone to have it converted and had all the brass replaced with solid silver, it must’ve had a pretty strong spring because it opened very quick and the silver on each end was engraved with these South Western Native American Style designs. It was definitely one of a kind. It was worth every penny of what I was willing to pay for it, especially to me… so now you know and you won’t have to make any more false assumptions

@@warrenmcelroy4718 Yeah, that seems like it would be worth $450. That’s a nice ass knife. It sucks you weren’t able to buy it. You probably should have mentioned the fact that it was custom... I had no reason to think it was since I was talking about a stock knife.

@@UltraMagaFan True I assumed it was stock as well but how exactly was the "worth" determined ???!!! I mean how much silver is on the knife plus how do you determine the worth of the Native designs ???!!!

I had a Schrade and I never got it back from my buddy. I handed it to him after a fight on the way to the principals office. He lost it.

@@domineech That sucks, are you sure it was actually lost?

@@randysmith9636 I'm pretty sure, he was a good friend for a few years and he wasn't into knives.

@@randysmith9636 my 336 was Chambered in 375 Winchester, that was one good shooting gun and had such a smooth action. But anyway, I kept that and my side by side 12 Gauge shogun on the rack of my ‘76 Ford HiBoy, I still have the shotgun but if I had it to do over again I’d have never got rid of the 336 OR my F250 4x4, what’s crazy is that the shotgun prolly isn’t worth a couple hundred bucks but I’ve kept it due to sentimental reasons. The truck and the 336 would be like having Gold right now hahaha

I remember those days too. Nobody ever died that way. Alcohol poisoning, drunk driving and other intoxicant-fueled misadventures yes, but not violence.

@sean white I’d love to have the Benchmade Infidel and the Gerber 06 auto!!!

​@@AzzKicker-bz1cbBenchmade 2750 ADAMAS Auto and Gerber 06 Auto are my personal favorites .

Exactly

Where can I grab one of those at may I ask???

​@@HavocQPandemoniumOfficalknife center or blade HQ

I bought some of those in the Dessert color way for gifts. A huge hit🧑🏻‍🎄👍🏻🤠 Also: the 3.25” is available in a true left-hand version. BHQ.

I was buying them 3 at a time for 35 a peice at the gun shows in 08 . I loved them because they were cheap enough that I could totally abuse them and if I lost one I wouldn't be that upset . I had a micro tech and was afraid to leave the house with it because I would be working and just knew I could lose it somehow .

maybe because nobody makes a good one? the only ones I've ever seen are cheap garbage. are there good ones?

@@nathankisner8332 there are absolutely good Italian stilettos but that's besides the point, if someone pulled a stiletto out you'd easily recognize it BECAUSE ITS ICONIC, not because the blade steel was s35vn instead of 440c or something but because it's a classic switch blade design.

@Jay thanks bro I'll check em out

cause it is trash for self defense

@@stevenhorton83 LMAO 🤣 your trash for self defense

Some microtechs are thousands, you dont carry a few thousand dollar pocket knife around?

You'd have a very hard time accidentally firing a microtech. Ive carried 2 for years, an ultratech for EDC and a Combat Troodon overseas, and never once has it accidentally fired under rough conditions.

Me too, nothing beats a buck for iconic beauty and usefulness!

Buck doesn’t get enough respect in this world of gucci knives. I have knives from Benchmade-Gerber-CRKT, but if shit has hit the fan, apocalypse situation; I’m taking my Buck 110.

@@antisnafu you must not own the right knives then lol. There are literally dozens of benchmades id take over a buck 110, if not more. Old knives are interesting, but 1000% superseded in every way by modern cutlery. More durable, more reliable, better steel, easier to service, more interesting, better to play with when not using. Turns out the past was the worst lol.

You should see mine. Black blade with my name on it, and a double leather thong hung on the pocket clip with skulls on it. It's truly a thing of beauty! My bailout is my EDC. It's smooth as butter and the blade says "SAY WHEN". Cool.😎🗡

Is that legal to carry every day?

I just found out it existed but I will now have one asap!

I 🤩 at that Buck

@@FahimibnDawud it's 100% worth it. I would definitely recommend getting one.

@@Aaron-hype if you dont have one, get one

@@lunar2328 Definitely thinking about it! Simple to sharpen?

For knife collectors

The Godfather is a modern stiletto

Italian stiletto is easily the most iconic switch blade and it ain't in this list. Huge miss.

These are all double action and won’t deploy hard enough to cause serious injury. I’ve deployed my Troodon directly into my jeans on my thigh from an inch away to show that to someone. Single action OTFs are totally different. Those will obliterate you with zero remorse.

Only the Troodon and Infidel are double action.

@@ZiggityPow I specifically only mentioned the OTF as double action because the side folders are harder to injure yourself with. Do you know of any DA side folding automatics?

It's shows after you click the link , quit being lazy ffs.

Im not gonna act like ive been in the military or anything but the stress test videos I've seen of the Microtech Combat Troodon seem to beat on it pretty hard and it still worked. I have a microtech and for day to day tasks it does fine, and if I got into a knife fight with some crack head in the walmart parking lot it would do harm just as fast. If I had to trust only one knife I'd take a Kabar or something that could reliably take a ton of abuse and be good at different things, but for my use case an otf serves me well enough. Bonus points for a Microtech being a knife that John Wick uses.

I mean the military isn't known for using decent knives anyways...

Parachute riggers. AFO's were purchasable through supply if approved by an officer.

Some, yes. You get a lot of knife in the Protech Godfather though.

My Kershaw launch 8 is a sweet automatic

Exactly, they are the real king

Er idk that's also just a serrated blade Def banned by the Genova convention not made for anything but killing

@@Spoger296 I don't know anything about bans and conventions, but I figured that's probably what that knife was for. I couldn't see what else that would be needed for.

Idk but I know serrated blades are banned in my state I hope he doesn't carry that knife without knowing his states laws

Something that will definitely get you arrested in some states. Definitely not an everyday carry

@@Spoger296 yeah, my guess is a knife collector know the laws though.

The more you use it the stronger your hand gets I own a microtech ultratech and it was hard to open at first

@@thedailyknifearchives I had a hard time opening the Ultratech too, but then I got a Combat Troodon and it's even stiffer. The Ultratech is baby easy to use now that I'm getting used to the Combat Troodon. Some people I've handed them too can barely actuate them at all.

Just looked it up online and I was disappointed when I saw there were $400+ lol

That butterfly tax is high

That is pretty crazy pricing.. i guess you're paying for the mechanism and machining but that is way over what I'd pay for it. It is beautiful though.

Wait until you hear about Medford

@@SweetTooth8989 paying for name and weak AF action. They should stick to side openers.

@@jonathonwerner5968 agreed. It's lacking some pep on the opening.

The Walmart version is not American made, it's a cheaper Chinese steel to keep the price around $50, the 06 Auto is American made with S30V steel they ate night and day as far as blade steel quality.

Mine is a little different too, very fast opening though, and it's a buck, what more can you say?

The auto elite has nickel bolsters S30V steel and G10 scales. I love mine so much I gave my standard 110 auto to my little brother and upgraded to the elite. You'll love it.

Ya idk about that claim. Fixed blades don’t make noise when you deploy it like all these do. They also don’t malfunction.

@@coolsidecool The 06 auto was specifically designed for special forces. They originated as unmarked knives with no logos so they couldn't be traced back to being American. Also the infidel was carried by quite a few soldiers in the middle east. Not common or standard but some did.

@@coolsidecool Plus knives are mostly used as tools to cut random shit around. No one really expects to actually use them in combat so reliability isn't much of an issue. If it was then they would have a fixed blade instead or in addition to.

I have one and love it
