Love to see the sage 5 getting the love it deserves. For so long it’s been an unsung gem, but now that there’s all the hullabaloo about the Rex 121 version coming out, it’s been dragged out from the dustbin of history and placed on its rightful throne. While I generally do prefer a larger knife, this sage 5 is just so excellent in every way, truly a perfect edc. Every day I wake up and check my email to see if my preorder has finally shipped. I can’t wait to sexy it up with some proper fluted titanium scales from parsons bladeworks that my black dlc m4 sage has been wearing and order it a nice lynch clip that’ll pop.

Thank you for doing these best of videos for a good spread of price ranges. I’ve finally reached the point where anything under $100ish really has to be a fantastic budget knife for me to justify spending money on it, so I’ve really been looking into more “investment” knives in the $200+ area. This list is great, the militaw has been calling my name for a minute now 🤔 just gotta decide if I like that or the Varatas better

Hogue is without a doubt the best USA made production knives. Their qc, heat treat, action, materials and absolutely value smoke every one else. My first one was the Deka magnacut, it was between that and BM Bugout, and after handling both the Hogue was not only more than $40 less, it had a much better grind and edge, better axis lock, better frn scales, and since then I’ve added quite a few Hogues. I can’t wait to get the titanium handled Myto.

I can't buy another Spyderco. I've had four. Two pm2s and two Para 3s. First was a sprint run pm2 with blurple scales. Absolutely loved everything about it, except the blade chipped bad. Got a standard because the internet said that steel (s90 maybe) was chippy and it was the same. So i thought I'd try a para3 in m390. Chipped. Bought a second standard p3 as a gift for my niece and it was the same with hers. So disappointing because as I said, I love everything about both those knives.

Doug Ritter designed the BM Griptilian. When he stopped partnering with BM, he retained the rights to his design and went to Hogue. Same designer, very close to identical design, different manufacturer, different fit and finish and execution. Many people consider them practically the same knives, except most who’ve tried the Hogue can agree it’s a better knife overall for a better price than the BM Griptilian.

I get it, but... makes me ignore this whole segment of the knife industry as a result.

@@TheRealNancyPelosi1865 thanks. Not really a fan of Spyderco but I HAVE to have at least one on my collection. And that one looks like it’s the one.

Eyed that PM60 Kunwu for a while. Just know I won't be able to carry a knife with "COMPACT CHAD" printed in large letters on the blade. What a fail for an otherwise awesome company.

How is a knife with a Liner Lock cost over $140.00?
@metal_complex
@metal_complex Месяц назад
There are multi thousand dollar liner locking knives out there. The lock itself has almost nothing to do with the pricetag. You should unlearn this assumption

@@metal_complex ok. For one who has had many many knives with different locks, I use my knives. I am a construction worker who wants a knife that I can depend on not folding up on my fingers. Luckily it's never happened to me. I don't pry or do things that would or could cause that. Personally I think they are just fine for a everyday knife. I carry a Recon-1 everyday which for me is perfect. Maybe I should of not commented on them. I do know there are many great knives with them. I just wouldn't pay a lot of money for one. I am not throwing ANY knifemakers under the bus. I apologize if I have done that. We are living in the best times Ever for knives. There are a lot of options. Looking forwards to new knives and new lockups.

The Shark Lock is amazing, but the knives it has been put on so far are just not very practical or appealing to me, either. I'm hoping that it gets added to more practical knives over time. Fingers crossed.

No knife is worth more than $200. Zero reason for spending that kind of money, unless you make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. That said, the Spyderco Manix 2 is on my list of knives to buy as my first Spyderco.

@@teacherhelp1374 benchmade’s quality compared to pretty much everyone else on this list, it’s just not there They make decent knives Just not great value It’s like the Leek, sure it’s a great knife for a lot of people, and at 80$, it’s within the price range for a lot of people But if you have owned a Vision, an Altus, a Prado or a Velona They are just so much better knives for the price Yeah you can still recommend the leek if someone asks, but why would it be the top of the list when there is so many better options? I’ve only handled 2 benchmades, not my own, but compared to my Bel-air and iridium The bug-out is disappointing to say the least

The best EDC folding knife is the one that stays open until i want to close it. I don't care about titanium or shiny carbon fiber scales and the latest so-called super steel. If the lock fails when i actually use the knife for any task a knife could be used, then it doesn't worth a dime.
