Has anyone noticed that we just sat here for 3 minutes while he told us how he lost and found his knife

"and who dosent have a extra 10-15 bucks" *sweats profusely*

As a kiwi that wears, Redwings, Filson, and Outlier I appreciate American quality. It's great to see Americans appreciate kiwi quality.

I did not know you are a Fire Fighter........ GOD bless you and your family, you are a real Hero all best, Max

Kinda reminds me of those old straight razors people used to shave with.

I've been collecting and using knives since I was a kid. Have recently acquired an Opinel, and have been using a Mora for my camp knife for a few years. This is next on my list of inexpensive quality knives. I'm not sure how Sweden, France, and New Zealand manage to make such good stuff at an affordable price, even after being imported, but I wish that American manufacturers would figure it out. I can't find a Chinese-made Kershaw branded knife for less than 30 bucks, much less 12 to 15. I'm an artist, craftsman, and outdoorsman, and I actually use my knives on a daily basis. I'm not taking a $100 knife on a kayak trip only to give it away to the fishes.

Looks like a chilli pepper

OK, Cody, I bought the white one. I'm 74 this month and "don't get dirty anymore." 🤠

My favorite cheap knife is the mora companion made in sweeden. However it doesn't fold

I feel similarly about the Higonokami. Great thick blade, good steel, etc. But I hated the XL version. The smaller 3" bladed version is way better. Fits in your pocket great, and feels more of an appropriate size for a cheap friction folder.

I love cheap knives. I have so many Opinels, most from 6 to 9, but a few other sizes too. Stainless and carbon. My dress knife is an Opinel 7 with an Olivewood handle in stainless. I have GIVEN so many of those knives away. People will comment on it or ask what it is and I just say, "here, it's yours!" My son has a couple of these, I have never tried carrying one though. Maybe I will...

Wife: please don't watch anymore wranglerstar tool videos, you end up buying a new tool every time you do. Me: She didn't say anything about old wranglerstar knife videos....

"Everybody is racist, you destroyed the meaning" straight up facts

In 2021 the svord is up to $28 Great vid as always Wranglestar

I will forever be a leatherman sidekick guy, it's a quick accessible knife, it's a pair of pliers, it's a screwdriver, it's a saw and many more. Can't go wrong.

I love how wranglestar never takes anything for granite he’s a true respectable honest man we need more ppl like him in the world

Me: Bends over to pick something up with that knife in my pocket Knife: Jabs me in the obliques with its freakin tang

We can't get them in New Zealand for $15, even without shipping! Bargain.

I like my buck 110 it's been my favorite since I was around 10 and I still have the same one today 9 years later. It was around $25 when I got it and I use it everyday from skinning animals, cleaning fish, and basically anything I need to do. For the the quality the price is nothing. It holds a edge better than almost any of my knives also.

Me, a Chinese New Zealand person: *my goals are beyond your understanding*

I've carried pricy knives for a while ($50-100) range and havent gone higher because I lose them all the time. For the last 3ish years I've carried a Kershaw 3870. Its held up well and is pretty decent for edge retention. The best part is when it's a cheap knife I never loose it. It's < $25.

Just got mine last week and man oh man do I love it. It has the sharpest factory edge I’ve ever seen and man is it a cool knife.

Still loving your content, W family, even though I handle no axes, no edc knives, never ride a dirt bike or side my house. Used to ride a motorcycle, used to teach girls and women survival and camping skills, led canoe trips of 5+ days in MN, and let my hubby do all the fire wood stuff, ha, let him......

I just got one of these and, when you take it apart, there is a second pair of holes for the brass stop pin. This allows you to move the pin so that the tang/opening lever will be completely hidden inside the handle when fully opened. This would eliminate a hotspot when you use the knife for a long time.

For those of you who don’t know where New Zealand is, it’s the home of the America’s Cup... Svord also make wooden handles ones, and there is a huge version too, but the best tip is to round off the pointed back of the handle, fits nicer in the pocket.

I learned pretty quick to get knives with bright color scales. Drop a black knife in the woods and say goodbye. Drop a bright red or yellow one and your chances of recovery are much higher. It's also to sight easier in low light and down in a pack or what-not. One that can be found with an ultraviolet light at night is also a plus.

I had no idea I was going to purchase a pocket knife tonight, but after seeing your videos and what you put your tools through and the experience and expectations you have for your equipment I can say you just sold me on this knife sir!

I picked one up, super happy to find something simple yet useful.

Cody, that's not how you one hand open them easy. Put the bit with the hole in the middle of your palm with the blade facing you and pointing upwards. Slide the handle away from you and down.. you will figure it out the movements from there. Means you can grab from pocket and open in one easy swift movement... Also keeps the blade facing away from you. Great knife. I own the same knife in the same colour... just so i don't lose it! Regards New Zealand Nuke

Opinels are also super affordable and offer a pretty cool “old school” design. They don’t quite qualify for a one hand open but they do have a locking mechanism. For around $10 you can’t go wrong!

Get the Leatherman Skeletool. It’s my go to multi tool. I believe made in Oregon too.

As a 940 owner I am really happy for you that you found yours! The thought of losing mine upsets me.

My son bought me a zero tolerance hinderer knife for my birthday last year. I had been covering that knife for a year. Within a week I had lost it. I was heart broken. We would walk to a shopping center for lunch that was on the other side of some railroad tracks every day. To get there we had to cut through some brush and a hole in the fence to cross the tracks. So. A week later I decided to bring a machete to clear the brush so we wouldn’t get wet from the over hanging leaves. While I was hacking away at the the Brush my friend spotted a knife hanging from a vine right next to the fence opening. Lol. I was so happy. I found my knife dangling there. So I got pick pocketed by a flowering vine. You are right about those pocket clips. My retribution on that vine was swift. The machete raised some eye brows from the waitress though. 😊

I have used this Svord knife for two seasons exclusively for edible mushroom hunting and foraging. It is fantastic. Orange color is easy(er) to find if lost on the forest floor. The single handed open is great for field cleaning mushrooms. And the HCS blade is great. I would like to see how it works for bushcraft, like splitting wrist sized firewood.

Cody, have you heard about higonokami knives, they are a traditional Japanese folding knife, Dutch bushcraft knives does a few videos about them, you can get many of them for under $20, they are all hand made by one man. They are beautiful and have the same friction hold as the Svord knives. Hope this helps haha. God bless -Kyle

As a paramedic I carry two things, I have my Raptors (don't @ me, damn things are amazing and have lasted me nearly 6 years without issue) and my Harbor Freight folder. I would love to see you review those, as the handle feels like real G10 and the blade from the package is incredible, holds an insane edge and to date has cut 20+ sets of seatbelts. I will definitely check out the SVORD, even if it is to take on a woodwork project to make a pretty handle for it.

Ive been using an opinel for quite some time. I really like it, I like the classy older looking feel to it.

I love your who doesn't love a Kiwi remark. (7:59) Several years ago, we had a new administrative assistant come into work while I was on vacation. When I came back and met her, I noticed her accent and said, "What lovely English you speak." She then told me she was from New Zealand. I replied, "Alright, a Kiwi!" I thought our supervisor was going to meltdown with what I had said. He apologized to her and informed her that I would be reprimanded for my racist remark. She replied, "Kiwi? Racist? Us Kiwi's take pride in that title!" We had a good working relationship over the years.

I use mine to cut kiwis

I suppose everyone has their favorite knife or tool but I just don't get your heart stopping praise of the Benchmade knife, especially at the price. I got a Buck Knives 110 folding knife back in 1963 when I deployed to VN and have carried it ever since. It has carried a fabulously sharp edge and I have used it for everything a knife could be used for. And it still has a warranty but at my age, I think I will let it go if I would need to use it. If not, I will pass it to my son. I also have a Randall custom made fighting knife but I prefer the Buck, to be honest. American made, too.

You should make a wooden handle for it. Should be pretty easy and would make it look awesome!

I have had my 965 puma deer hunter for over 20 years and this knife was handed down to me it is dated from 1972 so yes I know if you find that ideal pocket knife look after it but if you ever see one of these 965 knifes grab it its holds up well and holds a great edge

Carbon steel! Like the Lord intended knives to be!

i bought the clear handled one a few years back and its been in my pocket most days, its really my go to. the clear handle is cool cause i can tell when its really dirty and needs to be cleaned

I loved when you did the videos about those cheap amazon products. Even though there are many videos like that on RU-vid , you are the most entertaining when doing it. Like if you agree!!

You can open your Opinel using only one hand. It’s called using the Savoie Knock. It works great. Excellent video by the way!

damn the knives are 25-30$ on amazon now lol

I bought my first svord peasant knife after watching this video, and from skinning Elk to cutting rope, peeling apples, and what have you, it has to be probably my favorite new pocketknife, I dont think I will ever buy any other pocket knives, as I dont think they will hold up to the new standard that these knives have given me

The Svord knife is made of L6 steel. Saw blade steel. Mr. Baker knows what's up.

I carry the large one everyday it slides into my back pocket and I have a lanyard on the spur that attaches to my belt. IT is extremely handy easy to retrieve easy to open and never gets lost.

Having no pocket clip is the reason I've lost so many knives. My Benchmade mini reflex and mini griptilian I've had for years and have never lost.

My EDC Blade is a "SOG Trident" that I had and never failed me for over 10 years. My EDC Multi Tool is a LeatherMan Wingman that I had for 1.5 years now.

04:25 is where the clip actually starts....

Bought one through your affiliate link! The mini looks PERFECT for what I use my knife most for... castrating bull calves. When you're doing hundreds of them you need it to keep an edge and it truly needs to be a one hand opener. Thanks for the recommendation. Saved me a bunch.

1:07 Look at the bottom right corner of the screen

I got to say, I recently picked up a mini peasant and have been using it as my EDC knife. And I got to say, I have fallen in love with the little knife

Give the Ontario Rat 1 a try. They make them in AUS-8 and D2, the D2 being 35$ and aus8 being 30. I love mine, can't find a better one for the money.

I’ll tell you what this man has taught me more about the finer qualities of life than anyone else has.

Captin- Cody there is a fire Cody- yeah that's cool, Wana see my knife?

I agree the mini is probably a better size for EDC. I do carry the full size in a leather pouch around my neck when going into the woods. Your one hand opening technique needs some improving so you will even enjoy the knife more. It's mainly a different initial grab so the tang that sticks out is in your palm.

Thanks for the review! "Here's your knife." "It's a svord!"

Never heard of this knife. Ordered this right after I saw this video. Best knife I have owned. Thank you!!!!

Opinel carbone do a good cheap locking knife, takes a really good edge and locks both ways. I would be scared with that in my pocket lol

Hey mate, this Kiwi really appreciates what you just said about us. My little nation is currently suffering under some insufferable commie types but, we are happy positivists at heart. As a Kiwi that is also currently living in the USA with my gorgeous and delightfully old school American wife, I would like to return the compliment and confirm that I am marinaded in positive interactions with Americans on a daily basis. Good on ya Cody.

"Everyone is a racist. You've destroyed that word it has no meaning now." You sir just earned a subscriber

As a retired butcher, I have provided for myself and family with my knives. I personally have a small key ring size Opinel . They come in all sizes. The original blade is soft steel. Which you can put an edge on it with any flat rock. I used the American brand Green River a lot at work. As far as Chinese quality control, if it’s anything like the guitar world. They have improved quality as they obviously have noticed it effects sales. Saying that I would stick to brands you know yourself or have good reviews.

I am a kiwi and '. I know that they also make Damascus steel knives with deer antler handle beautiful knives very nice own very good Steel definitely look at buying a svord

I got one of these a few years back for my birthday, one of the best gifts I've ever received!

He really just bought a new one and didn't want to tell us. So he came up with a story in case we called it out in a future video.

I used to have the same problem losing knives. I also originally in frustration went to a much cheaper knife. I found in time that the main reason I was losing knives, and this will come as a shock to no one, was from laying them down. This happened often as not when using the knife while seated when putting it away was an inconvenience. Like you I found I really don't care for cargo pockets you could get into in a sitting position. Being long time married not needing to impress much of anyone I went to wearing bib coveralls. Not only are they comfy but have an old man chest rig on the "bib". That is now where my minimalist wallet, pen, flashlight and good pocket clip knife ride. Thus not sitting on my wallet in the car and can always access the other items whether I am getting them out or putting them away. Further the back pockets are high enough you don't sit on them if you want to carry something in them. In my case that would be an EDC pouch and or pocket holster. The deep pocket up the leg will carry a small pair of pump pliers and you never know they are there until you need them. Hammer loop is sometimes handy for tools and always handy for hanging them up. And as a bonus the Mora Knife button key hole sheath works on the side flap buttons when I want to carry one. As further insurance though I carry a lay, loan and lose cheap imported knife in my front pocket. Two is one and one is none.

I've only lost 2 knives, both victorinox officer suisse that I only "lost " because I forgot I was carrying them and they were confiscated by security.

Same mechanics as traditional chinese fisherman's knife. Wear using a long neck lanyard to the eye in the blade extension; to gut a fish, grab the handle and push away to swing the blade out with the lanyard tension; to stow the blade, drop the knife and it will close it up as the lanyard bears the weight. Scales of the antiques were often made in the form of a fish.

Try the Ontario rat1 in d2 steel. 35 - 40 bucks may just change your life.

Played an MMO when I worked an overnight shift on an Oceanic server. Kiwis are the greatest people. Hilarious and don't take themselves too seriously. Love em.

I would never buy a bench made after their little “incident” recently

Iv had a sword for quite a few years it's a great little carbon steel bladed knife mines neon/zombie green no loosing it Brite. I carry the larger one with a lanyard loop so I can pull it up and out of pocket easily

I wish you would check out CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool). They are in the Portland area so you could probably weasel a factory tour.

Both are great knives. I bought a peasant knife afew years ago and never carried it because of the care of keeping it from rusting. I received an opinel #8 afew year back and my wife confiscated it. This is a woman who has never carried a pocket knife. I'm also carrying an opinel #8 as my EDC because it's more compact than the Smith & Wessons & Gerbers I was carrying previously.

Us kiwis love american quality. i live in new zealand and ive never seen this. Ill have to look

I love my SVORD. I put a piece of lashing or small rope through it. That way you can always pull it out of your pocket when, just leave the lashing hanging out of your pocket.

Since the posting of this video that knife is now $31.00 and is unavailable

Wow thanks for this review, right after I watched it I went on Amazon and ordered it, less then 24 hours later I have it in my hands. OMG this blade is sharp, like 10° +/-

Make wood scales for one pls

In texas we carry our pocket knives in sheaths. Saves space for pockets and you can show off a beautiful handmade sheath. More culture than anything.

Wrangler you sould make wood handles for them.

By the way Wranglerstar. That style of knife is called a friction folder. They aren't supposed to lock. Less parts to mess up and the blade won't slip since your palm keeps it locked in place

I've heard those been called Friction folder…At least on Forged in fire.

I bought one of these knives a few years ago and carry it everyday. I can confirm it is a great knife. Holds a wonderful edge and has no problem getting the work done. Great knife to own

4:00- finally comes to the point.

Kiwi here iv been using svords for years. Heres a tip. When one hand opening hold the tang and use your thumb to flip the scales. Its easier and safer

Clip IWB , under your belt , problem solved !

Opanels are such a great backup pocket knife to your normal EDC folder. The small one just disappears in the pocket and they have such a wonderful thin slicey edge... They don't hold edges super great BUT they take a edge very easily and getting them hair splitting sharp is easy with just a few hits on the strop and back to hair whittling. IMHO they aren't a main carry knife (not for me anyhow as they aren't 1 hand deployment and retraction.) but they are a fantastic knife for opening mail, boxes, slicing snack packages and just normal cutting... They are also not a "scary" knife so if someone asks does anyone have a knife I can use and you hand them a small opanel no one will blink twice at it just like a little Case Peanut or small Barlow. Some times your more aggressive looking EDC knifes like my Spydie PM2 or Manix etc will look at it like omg you carry that that's a dangerous knife blah blah blah. So I carry one or two knifes as a back up and it's either a Opanel the small one or a Case Peanut.

“ they are American made. There’s a hole in the pocket”

Bought this knife 4 years ago and It’ll probably last a lifetime. Great little knife.

i usually try to stray away from chinese knives but when it comes to WE, Rike, and Reate id take a $400 chinese blade over a $400 american blade any day

oh I am an aussie and I have had the same knife, a kobalt locking stainless carbon mix, made by a chinese manufacturer for several years and the only defect was one screw that held a side plate on, but my point is not all chinese knives are terrible I will definitely be trying to obtain one of these svords as I have lost the old one

Am I a hypocrite for using the same knife my dad bought at a gas station 8 years ago 😂😂

I have my VictoryKnox Solo blade for the last ten years. A simple and great pocket blade.

Im from nz and I've met quite a few kiwis I don't like
