Who has the Best Knife Design? The REC Crew Designs Their own Knives! - REC Report 012 

Went to a wedding today so no pen. Small Sebenza 21 LH with bocote inlay. Olight S1 baton which came in handy as the reception lasted until after dark and everyone had parked in a field. I walked several people to their cars so they didn't fall in a ditch or trip in the field. I wasn't part of the wedding, I was just there. It's just nice to help sometimes. As for the knife designs, I'm finding more sheepsfoot style blades the most useful. I also like wire clips. I've never watched the Walking Dead so I have no clue.

Man I want what Everett and Cole have! A rockstead as a gift, that's some bro love right there!

I was also going to say the Hinderer Ranch for Rick Grimes. Carrying my Drop Nurse today. Best drawing I'd say Everett. From demko maybe a button lock.

Rick is an old fashioned kind of guy who probably has a Buck 110 in the sheath on his belt.

Happy Friday! I'm gonna have to go with Evan and the ERF-1! I dig the blade shape and size, as I've got some giant mitts. I need to pick up something in magnacut, after all the coverage it's gotten it's made me extremely curious. Today I'm carrying the BHQ Pena with Mexican Blanket G-Carta scales. I wish it were a tad bit bigger but I'm loving the look and feel and the build quality is pretty incredible. Hell yeah watch nerds! Wearing a PAM 02A today that I managed to grab long ago, before prices went absolutely nuts. I'm desperately trying to avoid the pen and flashlight game, too. So many rabbit holes, so little time and money! Thanks for another awesome episode, the knife design competition was great and it got me thinking about what my perfect folder would look like! Have an awesome weekend, fellas.

Haha that was me that called out the Malibu. Mine has cut my palm before Edit: and yall posted my other comment! Nice

Colt Python is a .357 Magnum, Anaconda was the .44 Magnum. He would also carry the Hinderer.

Everetts design is my favourite. I think Rick actually carries a southern grind spider monkey at some point. But I recon a umnumzaan tanto would suit him best

Thanks for another awesome weekly show I look forward to these now!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!! I’ll be looking forward to seeing the show next week!!!!!!

I would like to see more production models from Demko!

And all of your guys designs are awesome 😎 can’t choose between them!!!!!

Only thing i carried on friday was my vero axon framelock

Got the Civivi Dogma in the pocket today with my Olight Warrior Mini.

todays edc is Benchmade 943, leaatherman micra, sig 365xl, and my wallet.

I really likes Everett’s design and ideas for color/texture. I think Rick grimes would carry Lon Humphrey bowie of some sort. Would like to see a collab with rec and hinderer, liong mah, or demko! Take it easy dudes!

With the exception of the wire clip, I'm pretty sure Evan designed the Civivi Hadros. Rick Grimes? Wood handled Ka-Bar.

Fixed Adamas or the LT Wright Overland Machete for RICK!!!

Carrying Mini Adamas (black), leather wallet I make, BID Mini Ti Pen, momentum Atlas watch (all titanium!) i3T, CF Comb (from You guys) to keep The beard looking 💯 😉

Just more knives available in either custom or production or both would be great. Also some 20.5 s in some other materials.

The name is half the fun so I vote for the turtleshell

Momentum Watches!!!

I think Rick would carry a factory second cold steel....maybe something like the 3v master hunter 😆

I would definitely want aAD20 full ti!!!!! I hope that he will be making more of them soon!!!!!

I vote for Everett's design. Also I would like to Demko do some micarta scale materials and thinner overall thickness like their ad20.5's. Thanks for always putting up great content!

Will have to go with Evan’s design, as well

Another good episode fellas! I have to go with Everett for the win. Im a sucker for purple as well. As for Demko just want to see more. I currently own 0 customs because like a true addict I buy way too many production when they get released and am broke because of it! I'd love the chance to be the 1st owner of a MG AD20. They are unbeatable knives so just give the Demko guys some more time in 2022. Rick's zombie killer would be something high carbon 1095 probably so he could sharpen it on the go with a rock. I like the OKC 499 air force survival. Its cheap at like 50 60 bucks but its solid. For my carry today I'm rocking a Red Horse Knives Hell Razor s35vn and carbon fiber. Stormtrooper giantmouse riv in the 5th pocket. Redeemed Creations Lynch Northwest wallet with an Eddie AAP V2.6x. A Swankhanks hank (best in the edc world if you ask me) and a Big Idea designs brass pocket pro Petes pirate life pen.

Great video guys, keep it up! The website is looking great too!

I’m carrying my XM18 3.5 just got it and it’s awesome 😎!!!!!

Those are awesome zombie 🧟‍♂️ stoppers. Non corrosive blades even LOL 😆

I’m voting for Everett’s design, and I think Rick would carry a tops Armageddon

What I would like to see from demko in 2022. Hmm. Perhaps he could actually make knifes again. I think the ad20 could be potentially my favorite knife ever but I can’t even get one for a stupid price

Really can't wait till demko makes the 20.5 in some different blade and scale materials.

Riley wins the knife design, also, I lost one of my body screws a few weeks ago 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I'm carrying a Dlt Trading Exclusive Spyderco Para 3. I like Everett 's drawing because I own a Rockstead Chi too. And I believe Rick Grimes would carry a LT Wright Genesis.

Demko needs to make an AD-20.75 with the Sharklock, G10, and 4V.

Pocket dump is a CS Recon1 and a 30+yr trapper. Tie between Riley and Evan (copy of the Rockstead ... great gift but ... shame!). I agree with Zach below and others, more AD20s with premium steels. Zombies must be dispatched from afar ... a Condor 18.75" bladed Makara Machete (1075) with wood handle (2 handed swings possible if required) over any folder. UhOh....unlucky #13 at Halloween !?!?!?!

I’m a big fan of the sheepsfoot blade shape so I’d pick Riley’s Bloated Turtle for the win!

I would just love to see more stock from Demko, love the AD20.5 but can't get my hands on it.

I like Evans design. And I think im with him also on wanting to see more AD20s from Demko. Preferably in Magnacut.

Damnit, finally guys

I like Everett and Evans

I have to get some micarta scales for the Demko 20.5

Great chat as usual. I think y’all need more time to really design a perfect knife

For the AD20.5 I'd like to see micarta and a step up in steel and to definitely stay under $200

I wanna go with Everetts design but I just cant get behind a tanto blade. Throw a drop point on that design and Im in. Oh and theres a good pet peeve for me...Tantos haha

Yeah!! Thanks guys! I'm already planning out the next cerakote project to send your way and use the gift card. You guys are awesome!!

I've lost/stripped out Spyderco screws and I just email them and the send some out free of charge.

Rick Grimes would carry a Helm Forge Carcass Splitter. It's only what's right 😂

I’m with you on the AD20 to be for sale!!!!! I’m really looking forward to getting one of those!!!!!!full ti I’m typing this as your saying it!!!!!

Luv to try a demko knife seems to be good quality

Im taking Evan’s ERF-1!

Riley’s design has my vote. From Demko, would love to see some new blade shapes (saw a re-ground Bowie on an AD20 that was so nice)… I am lucky to own 2 AD20’s (3V and Cruwear) so maybe more Ti’s so I can get my last missing piece. definitely want to see the AD20.5 in new steels and handle materials. Also want to see the new AD20 slims in new steels as well.

I'M IN THE DRAWING, ERIC GLESSER AND ERNIE EMERSON GET DRUNK, I WANT THE KNIFE ON THE NAPKIN, 810 CONTEGO, K-390 STRETCH

Zombie slayer: CS 4-Max Scout

Hey man I like Rileys knife, would buy. Definitely think Rick would have an esee of some kind maybe a Spartan knives ronin or a hoback choppa maybe…

Rick Grimes would carry the new buck 120 with s35vn and micarta

I loved the 20.5 but cant stand frn. If they made one in g10 or all ti id keep one

Y’all should each design your own custom shop knife (on any current knife model) and have commenters pick the best idea!

I'd love to see a 20.5 in a nicer blade steel. That is a huge turnoff for me. Even Cold Steel makes AD-10s in S35VN. Rick Grimes would definitely carry the Crooked River full size. I agree with your sentiment.

I still haven't sharpened my ad 20.5, so people complaining about the steel are being divas its clearly not a performance issue

Case Bowie

I liked Everetts knife best and Rick Grimes would obviously carry a cold Steel large Espada . It's fighter Friday so I'm carrying an Emerson Commander.

I liked Everetts knife design the best

Here's a question for everyone Have you met another knife person and their carry is either super budget or super expensive and yours is the opposite? Now I carry 2 knives 1 from each category to match theirs.

ERF-1

Riley for the win

From Demko: greater availability at retailers, PLEASE

Damn I saw my name flash on the comment picker, got trolled :)

Yeah buddy first

Haha another installment of knife 🔪 Bros and caffeine 🤣
