Of the list I gave, my favorites were the PM2 and Spydiechef. That said, I opted for the Kapara from Spyderco instead, because I felt it had the best of those two designs.

I’ll add one to this list. Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight. I’d overlooked it for a while but when I saw the S110V version in stock I had to snag it. It has dominated my rotation since it came in. Hair popping sharp out of the box and fits my giant hands nicely. Smooth action out of the box, perfect centering, zero blade play, solid lockup. Breaking down boxes yesterday it went through them like butter. Still hair popping sharp. I just strop it at the end of the day.

But overall I love the videos because they are so informative without dribbling crap like other channels. Keep it up guys. Peace James

@GrumPBear 2 года назад

I totally agree on the James Brand Carter. I've seen a lot of criticism online for it being "just marketing" and using VG-10 for the blade at that price point. The Carter feels great in-hand, has a sturdy and sharp blade, and it completely took the place of the Bugout that was in my pocket before.

@ZPositive 2 года назад

You guys need some calipers on set. You could provide quick measurements instead of "dang, I don't have my Delica here".

@MrTrenttness Год назад

🔥🎸🔥 The Hogue Trauma is my work knife. Feels great in my hand, has a "work safe" Sheepsfoot blade and the seat belt cutter is great when you need to cut some small nylon rope or zip-ties that your buddy is holding or that'sclose to sensitive electronics. The glass breaker won't hurt in a self defense situation either. Totally underrated has an EDC.

@nevillesavage2012 2 года назад

Marttiini Finland 4in Fillet knife. Excellent through tang design. Nothing better for kitchen prep around the campfire. Takes a crazy wicked edge when stroped. I mink oiled the sheath to point of hydrophobia and sanded/stained the handle blood red. Weighs almost nothing. Perfect neck knife

@senoB 2 года назад

Brisa/Enzo (I knew them as Enzo when I was last active in knife space circa 2010) make great knives and they were, at the time, really responsive to criticism and would change ergonomic and other issues fairly quickly. For instance, at one point the deep-carry clip on the Birk was mounted near the middle of handle making it a serious hotspot and rather defeating the point of the deep-carry clip. Enzo/Brisa made fixed blades (including blanks for aspiring knifemakers), a two-hand opening slipjoint and a linerlock, then added in a lockback, etc in both Scandi and full-flat blade geometries and a couple of knife steels. On the budget end there were EKA of Sweden and Mora of Sweden (now Morakniv) and Martinni (sp?), while the high-end fixed and occasionally folding were Karesuando, Helle, etc.

I own multiple James Brand knives and they are really well designed, but they price them like premium products only without premium materials. The Carter originally had 9Cr steel but they upgraded to VG-10 a few years ago after customer complaints, and raised the price a small amount. I've just realized that they are essentially taking a page out of Apple's marketing book, so I guess I can cut them some slack, but I still take issue with selling a $400 knife for $600 (The Barnes)

@Case16710 2 года назад

Yes, Moki is awesome! Chances are lots of people already have knives made by them without realizing it. Moki actually manufactures knives for many other brands (all the Falkniven folders and many Seki City Spydercos, for example). The knives they sell under their own brand are very reasonably priced for the quality and really show off the level of the work they are capable of.

@eriklundquist3588 2 года назад

Great vid! Some hidden treasures there! My favorite underrated knife is the Kizer Catshark. Detent style “lock” with flipper (like the Small Archaeo) AND it spidie-flicks like a dream, so the fidget factor is off the charts. The large finger choil makes this tiny guy a full 4-finger grip for the average hand. The full belly goes thru cardboard like butter. The M690 steel holds a very respectable edge and and it’s easy (fun almost) to sharpen. Great looking black micarta handle with an orange pivot ring. And only $79! I think I just talked myself into buying another one.

So many people sold them on the secondary market when it came out because they didn't like it. It's a top 5 Spyderco for me, top 3 if you only consider primary carry Spyderco knives. Theorizing about what it would be like to go years without buying a knife was pretty hilarious haha I used to own an Enzo Birk as well! If you guys are going to start carrying them, PLEASE request their scandi slijoint (PK70)!!! Maybe in burlap micarta or textured Ti??

Just on the basis of the pendulum swinging all the way to one extreme, then back to the other, I think that traditional slip joint knives as an entire category have become underrated these days. Whether it’s a traditional-traditional- such as what Case or Böker makes- or a modern-traditional like what MKM and LionSteel are doing, there are lots of options that would intrigue younger knife enthusiasts. And I would always recommend a slip joint first if someone wants a reliable EDC that won’t spook non-knife people. I carry three slip joints in my rotation right now- a Case, a Victorinox, and a vintage Imperial Boy Scout knife from the 50’s. All three function just fine for anything from box/package opening to whittling wood or pruning in the garden.
