Last was a Boker Strike where the safety somehow got disengaged and the button pushed in my pocket and opened just enough to cut my thumb pretty badly. I like tip down, what is the advantage to tip up? So many people like it.

All over A chick not wanting to put out to wht guys, after her first blk guy in a wht town. Good to have shit steel. Didn't get the m80s back.$250 I'm getting a gun, at lease I'll get 70% of my money back. These guys are wacked. Have premium steel in moderation, not over $60 , amazon. Once you go casehardened, buck, need a lansky sharpening system with polishing.stone, red box $40.

@Jaketheaxman 3 года назад

I have a lot of knives under $20. A real consideration for this category of knives is whether you want to constantly sharpen them. A lot of mine get dull real quick after light use because the materials aren't favorable for keeping an edge. However, I do have knives under $20 that have one heck of a sharp edge right after you sharpen it, but if you sharpen it frequently it could be worth it. Also remember durability when purchasing a knife. Its harder to fix a broken or bent blade than it is to just constantly sharpen it

one of my favorite under $20, under $10 actually, is the Schrade SCH100. you have it listed on your site for $7ish. I picked mine up at an autozone for $15 a few years ago. its an amazingly tough knife. mine is in my firefighter turnout gear, it has been an absolute workhorse. I've cut everything from seatbelts to calzones with it, never sharpened it yet, run it over with a fire engine, and it keeps coming back for more!!! great knife under $20

Maybe an automatic "lazy susan/turn table" thing might be good for you guys to rest the knife on while you're talking. It's sometimes difficult to see the knife while you guys are holding it in your hands. The camera can't really get good, tight shots of it. Maybe a turn table or even like a holder/stand might be good so the camera can get good shots of the knives you guys are showcasing.

Priorities, food, rent, clothing, gas, electric, etc. etc. etc. Buy a 20-30 dollar knife a luxury. Buying a expensive knife not even close and there are a huge number of people in the same boat. I'm surprised that comes as shock to you.

everybody has priorities but if you want something you can always find a way to afford it be it sacrifice elsewhere or a side-hustle to accumulate funds.

@OtherThanIntendedPurpose 4 года назад

you really came off as elitist there, for a lot of us, we CAN'T afford a $40 knife sometimes. and for you to "disagree" with that is off-putting. I struggle to live on a VA pension, my rent alone is over half of my income. by the time I pay bills, buy food, and gas, and take care of my wife and kids I am dead ass broke. when I say that I am saving up for something I mean I literally have a jar for coins that I roll, and quarters and dimes buy essentials at the end of the month, nickels and pennies are my "savings" that I get to use for things I just want. when I bought my tops bob fixed blade it took me 17 months to get the money saved. I have been saving for over a year for an essee, but my fund was wiped out 3 months ago to keep the electricity on. I really enjoy most of your videos, but that kinda irked me.

@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial my EDC is a CRKT Hammond Cruiser, it was on sale when I got mine for around $18. usually sits around $30. but even that, I had saved a while to get to upgrade from my cheap as hell folder I had been carrying. I will keep trying to save for it, ut I do not see myself being able to get my essee for a LONG time.

Life is a lot easier if you dont take everything personally and look for ways to be offended. Its not BladeHQs fault youre poor, they dont care about you, me, or anyone else for that matter. They are a corporation. They care about profit and tax breaks. End of. I say this as a disabled combat vet thats been laying in a hospital bed the last 2 weeks, so i emphasize with you. Empathy. No sympathy from me. What ESSE are you saving for? I have a few that i havent touched in years and id send you one if i have one you want. I don't check for replies too often on here, but ill try to check for your reply. If you dont get a reply from me here,, it will only take a tiny bit of common sense on your part to email me. Youll get an instant reply that way. Hope to hear from you.

@OtherThanIntendedPurpose 4 года назад

@@CNYKnifeNerd I do not look for ways to be offended, but when the topic is budget blades, and the immediate tone is set with condescension over people maybe needing lower priced choices, a business that wants people to choose THEM to send their money to should be a little less elitist. there are a lot of other companies selling the same knives, so alienating a huge segment of the possible customer base is a bad plan

Thanks so much for recognizing that a huge part of your market is budget buyers. Not just cuz we're buying one sub-$20 knife, but budget collectors like me who want one of every type of knife, so i can't spend too much on any one type of knife. that's why i am a sub-$20 knife guy (hell let's be honest, I'm a $5 Friday knife kinda guy). My next under 20 purchase will be the: Baladeo Variation Laguiole Liner Lock Knife Zebra Wood A traditional looking knife except both with a liner lock and pocket clip? perfect! i've been looking for that exact sort of combination but doesn't seem to be very common at all!

@davidbonesteel9919 4 года назад

One of the knives I have carried for 15 years or so is the CKRT Ryan Model 7. It's under $20 and has a great action. Big ambi thumb studs and scale handle which is easy to work with while wearing gloves. It's only AUS 6 steel but, I use mine all the time and I only need to touch up the edge on an occasional basis. I was rather surprised it didn't make the list.

@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 4 года назад

Texas Gar Anglers :- Might it be a reaction to the many tactical, thick-bladed, poor cutting saber ground knives that have become so popular with the knife batoning crowd...knives that couldn't slice an apple without splitting and shredding the poor fruit. So now slicey means that this knife is a "cutter" with a thin blade profile and good edge geometry? Just sayin'...

@darynschultz 4 года назад

sharp knife which knife is so thick it can’t decently cut fruit with a decent edge ? I don’t own “tactical” tommy knives but the thickest knife I own is probably my esee 6hm I use for camping and I can easily cut food and fruits without destroying it so I think it’s plenty “slicey” enough to do that, maybe if people actually kept there knives sharp they wouldn’t have issues with cutting things.

In 2018 I bought this knife named the Albatross EDC on amazon. This knife was $9.99 and had a glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, and a 2.7 inch blade. The total length of the knife id 6.5 inches and is 3.8 inches when closed. When I received it I had to tighten the screws a little bit to make it sturdy, but other than that I have never had to maintenance it even after prying thigs open and some brutal drops. The knife comes in black, silver, and chrome silver. It also includes a carry pouch but I don't use it because the knife has a sturdy pocket clip. Overall the knife is a little heavy but overall one of my best utility knife purchases. This is the full title on amazon for anyone who is looking for it: (ALBATROSS EDC Cool Sharp Tactical Folding Pocket Knife,SpeedSafe Spring Assisted Opening Knifes with Liner Lock,Pocketclip,Glass Breaker,Seatbelt Cutter)

My favorite knife under $20 is the Gordon Drop Point EDC Pocket Knife (SKU 63168) from Harbor Freight. 8CR13MOV that might actually have underwent thermal treatment. A 65 HRC file has a hard time marking the blade. The edge retention reflects the same thing. $7.99 normally; on sale for $4.99 occasionally. I buy them 3 or 4 at a time when they are on sale, tune them, lube them, sharpen them, and give them as gifts. Tuned, lubed and sharpened they pass for $30 or $40 knives (whatever the best 8CR13MOV folders cost) easily. Everyone should have one in their collection--or better yet in their pocket. They are fun to play with. Good for seeing what you can do with liner-lock blade centering, lockup and smoothness. If you feel like going overboard you can replace the nylon washers with phosphor bronze. Can also practice your serration sharpening. All-in-all a lot of fun with little to lose if something goes wrong.
