I have carried the 940 for 2 decades in my pocket working emergency services as well as at home. It’s never let me down.

@lordgarion514 2 года назад

Same model, or you mean the exact same knife for 20 years?

@talisikid1618 2 года назад

Really great knife. Carried a minigriptillian for 16. Still carry it in a pack I take everywhere.

@johnhildenbrand2642 2 года назад

@Jesse Robinson They don't break all that often, and if you send it in to Benchmade they will replace the springs and clean/maintain it for you...do it once a year or so and you'll be just fine

@daddygc5814 2 года назад

I have 6 differant benchmade knives,never had a spring break,and if I did ,for me ,it would be easy to replace

@tdowty2132 2 года назад

Same knife, nothing broke, used regularly. I had 1 Screw drop from pocket clip at some point, doesn’t effect use.

@carlson6022 2 года назад

Seth said it best… “you can spend a lot of money and still not get what you’re looking for”. Pro tip: we’re all still looking. Unless you’re DCA and he just makes what he’s looking for.

@landscapingspecialist 2 года назад

Hell yeah Seth, agreed 100% about the Carribean. Still one of the best knives in my collection at any cost. I use it often for food prep tasks and it washes up easy and the overall design and profile are awesome. Love to see it gettin some well deserved love here.

@knifelore1647 2 года назад

My first with taxes was the Spyderco Amalgam. An couldn't be any happier. Also as a bonus I used to buy 1 or two 40 to 60 dollar knives a month. Haven't bought one sense. Thanks guys!

@Triathlete5551 2 года назад

That 200 - 300 range is one that I somehow skipped over, my knives are either more or less than that zone, but you've made me realize there are some great gems in that range that I need to consider.

@natek1993 2 года назад

Seriously low key some of the best knives are in that price range.

@brianrees2837 2 года назад

I think the range is the best value. You're getting something unique and built with some craftsmanship but you're avoiding the "exclusive drop/custom hand-built" line of knives. Good blade steel, high quality action, and usually higher quality grip materials. Benchmade, Spyderco, ZT... all their best value models are between 200-300

@PureCountryof91 2 года назад

Literally hundreds. From fixed blades, to folders, to customs, and handmade in the USA (not saying that matters to you, but it does to many)

@WhuDhat 9 месяцев назад

I just bought my first ~$200 knife funny enough it was an exclusive pm2 at 180, it just arrived today and I'm on my way home from work right now, that's what you call blue collar heaven

@donv5557 2 года назад

I started collecting knives a few years ago and got several. The dust settled and the 940 above everything else is now my EDC and I rarely carry anything else. A perfect knife for me

@lmcq784 2 года назад

Honestly, there is SO much goodness in that $150-300 range! The 940 is definitely a very strong contender as THE modern classic by which other knives are measured against. Many are like it, but none really have the same blend of quality as the 940 (as stated). The Giantmouse ACE Sonoma V2 is another one of my favorites as well. Great knife that is certainly understated, until you hold out and use it. There is just so much that the designers got right with that knife - almost no frills perfection. I’d argue, though, that the upper tier Bugout models should be a contender. Other than the Hogue Deka, nothing quite comes close to the buyouts in the ultralight ultra thin category, and is another wonderful EDC, especially a low-profile one for the “all knives are scary” office settings.

@andrewbarry3375 2 года назад

People are jealous

@nicoreloux 2 года назад

The Torino, especially the CF version, really incarnates what "next level" means to me at this price range for an industrial knife. I am satisfied by every aspect of the one that i own.

@nicoreloux 4 месяца назад

@@-Craptastic- well, my only disappointment came from a loose screw at the end of the handle that fortunately dropped in my pocket instead of on the floor. Otherwise i have nothing to complain about. The knife stayed sharp for months of daily usage. When i felt the need to give it a little touch up, i first had troubles finding the proper abrasive for restoring it to "razor" sharp. Ultimately, 0.5 micron diamond abrasive did the trick.

@ryhCOLT 2 года назад

My first $200+ is the Zero Tolerance 0223. Currently my most expensive and most used knife of a 25+ collection of knives. For those who want to know; It is a $320 knife with CPM 20CV steel. With titanium handle and G10 inlays.

@emfl4437 2 года назад

This format is very enjoyable, seeing both of your picks and why. Well done 👍

@scottallen7119 2 года назад

My Sandrin Torino is one of my favorite knives. I modified the scales so they have excellent ergonomics and they no longer look like a Milwaukee utility knife. They are black CF. I have sharpened it using my Work Sharp Precision Adjust with a full range of diamond stones. It wasn’t too bad.

@davidsapir3764 Год назад

What a great episode, thank you! Like Joshua I'm a relatively new collector with 30 pieces displayed in 3 identical wall mounted glass door display cases with room for 6 more knives before case number 4, lol! All of them are folders with blade lengths of 3 to 4 inches. My first $200+ purchase was the WE Arsenal, and it's worth every penny. Other great choices in this price range are a Bestech Malware, a Benchmade Crooked River or a Spyderco Para 2. You never think you'd ever pay that much for a knife when you first start collecting. I just bought my first $300+ pocket folder (a Reate Coyote) and that's the current grail of my collection. Such a gorgeous knife in every way.

@tomeskridge2818 Год назад

This was an excellent video, and you guys, have led me to some excellent choices for future picks for some new experiences! I have to thank you for that! I love your videos, I'm there for every new one! Take care! One of your fan's! RT Eskridge!

@Colorado_Kkid 2 года назад

Like many who watch your videos I have many $200- $300 knives on my Knife Center "wish list" ... Last summer I finally pulled the trigger on one of them ... It was a "new" knife for 2021 and the minute I saw it I said to myself I'm going to buy that when it hits the shelves of Knife Center ... I am referring to the WE Knife Co.'s "Thug" folding knife with the Marble Carbon Fiber scales ... I just love it and don't regret spending the $$ it took to acquire it ... Last thought ... Keep up the great videos ... I look forward to them every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday

@GOxHAM 2 года назад

Have had a 940 for years. Got the Sonoma v2 recently. They're both awesome knives.

@MGT308 2 года назад

Tremendous choices DCA and Seth. I'm a big fan of the Italians at this price point as well. The Myto and SR11 were amongst my final 3 candidates for a recent purchase from Knife Center. I decided on the Maserin 680 Police flipper. It has a tactical vibe with the Italian refinement. It's my new favorite EDC. Highly recommend it.

@cfrost25071 2 года назад

My bench made super freak was the first next level feeling knife I purchased. The fit and finish is awesome and it’s one hell of a worker.

@alanchapman6291 2 года назад

@mikeelek9713 2 года назад

Great video, guys. Very entertaining to see both of your picks.

@jdisdetermined Год назад

The Factor. That’s the epitome of next level. Maybe those tungsten carbide blade knives. Other than that, maybe something like the new Hinderer with the disassembly tool integrated as the backspacer. Those are the things that jump out to me as next level. I think of it as innovation more than just price or materials.

@gregsmith1116 2 года назад

Wow guys. You opened my eyes to what is out there in next level knives because I have always been a cheap spender on folders. I carry two right now, because my older one (Smith and Wesson S.W.A.T.) needs a backup! Ha! Anyway, thanks again!

@OffTheGrid1982 2 года назад

I may add the Viper Turn to my collection eventually. Beautiful folder

@jolness1 2 года назад

My first "nice" knife was a benchmade 940 in 154cm I bought back in 2010 and was my only knife for 7 or 8 years. I still carry it from time to time and it is a great knife. Not the greatest slicer but cuts plenty well, strong tip, great design, slim carry, lots of blade and lots to love. If I had to go back to using a knife in that price range, Kapara from spyderco or the 940. I don't buy many knives since getting into watches, and rarely in this price range when I do but this was a fun episode and made me remember when I first fell in love with having a great knife in my pocket.

@brandonthompson8413 2 года назад

For this level of Knives I think you can't go wrong with the ZT0562TI and the Osbourne. I own both and love them dearly. I think the 0562TI is a lot classier than a lot of people give it credit for. I just upgraded mine with the Taco Bearing system and it is mind blowingly smooth now.

@ChessQuizToday 2 года назад

After years I can say the best EDC knife I have every used is still the Spydiechef. Great blade shape that is very useful for all task. From food, to cutting boxes. And the LC200N is such a great all around steel.

@BrandonGavin_EDC 2 года назад

Man I’m contemplating getting one right now too.

@chrisk7984 2 года назад

Got a 940 and love it, agreed

@Grummash 2 года назад

@tstrumer1 Год назад

Just picked up an Osbourne yesterday. Loving it so far. I like the reverse tanto. It is able to get in places a drop point just can’t. Cleaning your nails? Done. Boxes? Easy. I’m going hunting this week and if I get one I’ll field dress the deer with it and see how the edge holds up after all the cutting on the meat and hitting the bones. If anyone cares I’ll keep you updated.

@standodge5536 2 года назад

I have the SR11 and I can tell you it is a very good knife. It’s a bit bulky but the blade is very smooth on the backing the flipper knob it’s impressive and it’s sharp! Good knife Lionsteel!

@armenarakelian9876 2 года назад

@davidhartley6232 2 года назад

I believe mine was the Spyderco Caribbean sheepsfoot. Living on the PNW, and having a utilitarian blade profile, made it a perfect fit for me. Only ""ouch" is the lock release method, as I am left handed.

@jacobokubo7726 2 года назад

Seth hit the nail on the head. Design that can't be replicated for cheap. My $230 pick is the MBK Peter Carry turbo 66-67 hrc zdp189 micarta or carbon fiber. The action is what did it for me. If you can get past the double clutch(hold low when unlocking) and like a fast fall shut action the turbo is awesome. Its a lot like the ZT0562 action. And the shaman is my second choice. Or the kapara for gentlemen's knife. But i thought spyderco was going to dominate this list.

@marsjam4117 2 года назад

I was deciding on my first "nice" folder about 6 months ago. I went with the 940 Blade HQ version (sorry knifecenter) bc I love the way it looks and I couldn't be happier! I loved it so much that I bought the mini... The mini, although a great LITTLE knife, is not a 940 ✌️

@jamesR1990 2 года назад

My first "nice" knife was the We Knife Co Peer with the brass inlay. But my first "grail" knife was the Lionsteel Rok with orange aluminum grip, that I fell for watching the video on best knives from each company. However my EDC is primarily the Spyderco PM2

@myvids3115 2 года назад

Yeah, Caribbean is cool and heavily underrated in the shadow of Para2. Looks and feels way better than pictures show. Sandrin is nice, but does not feel as a step up option for first knife in the 200$ realm. I see it later in the process. Dang it … double. Two nerds too close ;-) Giant Mouse does it for me. Good pick. The Lionsteel has the feature list, but is a pretty special design you have to like. I would have done a Protech for the art of auto they do exceptionally well. Maybe the Spyderco Gale Bradley 2 or a Smock for the cool design with compression look with button interface. This pricepoint is quiet hard though as it marks a transition space to more unique premium stuff 350$ up. I get it, it is harder than you initially think.

@geraldthomson8726 2 года назад

For my first $200 - $300 dollar knife I had to go with the Red Horse Hell Razor P its just such a cool design. I had been looking at the custom Hell Razor's but they were way out of my price range when they introduced the "P" I had to have one.

@garrettferrell6821 2 года назад

Next level knives was a great segment! unfortunately I’m not at the point where I can afford any of these. Would love a segment on between two knives where y’all explore the highest tier knives. The real dream knives no one should ever use, and only display. But are made to use

I think the 0562ti should have made the list. You get to experience 99% of a Hinderer for 1/2 the price. The legacy iconic trio are the 940, 0562ti, & PM2. I don't know if you sell them, but the Vero Axon is a knife that very much fits the bill as well. Unique blade shape, 3 different ways to open, killer m390.

I’ve got a few knives in this price range, but all fixed blades. About 1.5 years ago I decided to step up my folder game. Usually just have a Case or Victorinox in the pocket. I jumped into the the titanium frame lock game with a ZT 0393GLCF. Really out of my wheelhouse but I do love the knife and it’s paired with the victorinox as my edc. I got a deep carry titanium pocket clip for it. I cut some things I probably shouldn’t have with it, but gotta see what that CPM20CV is all about. Impressive edge retention.

I got the Sonoma v1 as a gift last year and it is a great knife. The original clip is questionable but it came with the deep carry clip which I don't notice any more or less that other deep carry clips of that style.
