I don't think the market is getting tough not just overseas made knifes, but also for some higher prices stuff made in north america as well. For example, I signed up for a Rask maybe two years ago, waited for a good 8 or 9 months before I got an email to buy one from the "curated collection". I passed on that because I just couldn't spend that amount on a knife any more. Since then, I have received an email to buy one almost every month. So clearly these aren't moving as swell as they used to.

Your teaching your boy well!! Love him

Just watching the weekly new knives Thursday shows from Knife Center shows a HUGE influx of product. I don't see how there can be enough knife buyers to sustain it. Not to mention all the commodity-level trash knives sold everywhere.

Vero knives are not worth what they go for. That's soft AF m390

All of my collection of 3inch knives, I still like Dauntless compact most.

Great video!

I really don't find the EDC1 DFT to be too big for pocket carry edc. I've been doing it with relative ease, clipped to the front right pocket of my sweatpants forget its even there. Great pocket clip - holds it in place very well. Great light, glad I bought it. Sidenote - also got the EDC 2 DFT which I also love.

Great topic to cover! Like that you covered a no knife option. Would have liked to have seen at least one option that didn’t include a light.

1:49 NOTHING?!?

love these little combos!!

Love these kits, as little gotos when your after a small but capable set. My favorite combo is the Gerber dime + nitecore tiki gitd.

Use small Nitize S beaners to afix 2 items together. So you can take the flashlight off of the tool, to use them both at the same time or separately.

I can never run round lights after using the streamlight wedge series

Does anyone know where I can find one of these? They seem to have vanished!

Glad you were able to restore the "one that got away."

I got the edc2-dft and after a couple months I think I’m gonna pick up an edc1 in the near future for the pocket space

I really love this strider pt. Could you sell it to me?

No experience with the LionSteel OEM, but I do have and like the Reate OEM. I you want it more snappy, Skiff bearings (5 mm - (11) - 1/16") are an option. Thanks for all your reviews - get well and have a great week(end)!

Super late comment, but thanks for the kind words about the knife. It was a labor of love to be sure. Also the OEM for it was Kubey, and they were fantastic throughout the process to work with.

I love your videos

Keep up the good work Jacob

I was kinda excited about the tesseract until I learned it had steel liners.

U get what u pay for....outstanding vidio.

U get what u pay for....outstanding vidio.

it seems to have an edge over 30 degrees... which is the max angle I can get to on my worksharp precision adjust knife sharpener. Should I reprofile it to say 30 degrees, or 25 degrees. what angle would you put on this?

Le Français, not "la Française"!

This will be my first Cutting Olympics anywhere so I'm excited.

Gen 1 is made with BG-42 Steel. I have one with Ebony inlay's dated November 2001.

entry level knives and you skipped anything in D2 .... garbage and biased video.

Id also add the Spyderco Tenacious as an entry blade.

Hi! My favourite is the Baby Banter. I wish Ben and Civivi would do a non locking version for the European market. Best wishes, Claus

Wow brother. I think this is so awesome. Very knowledgeable and well spoken. It also gives me hope with my boy lol. He's 10 and just not that Into it unless it's like an ADD reaction.... oouuu shiny sharp DESTROY 😂😂😂

Sebenza is so 2015.

I like the Suspenza better too. 😊

You like soft 20cv? The sebenza in s35vn will either out perform it or match it. That's sad for 20cv and what its capable of.

I think I’ll just stick with my Sebenza but great video.

The lander is using budget m390 heat treat. And aarpm9 is not powdered metallurgy. The factory that makes it doesn't have the equipment to make powdered metallurgy steel.

The Brouwer is what I’ve been carrying. It’s the closest thing to a perfect knife to me. A nice touch is the lock bar milling is on the inside. I have the CQI version with the repositioned pocket clip holes. I’m still using a third party deep carry clip. Which is a pretty standard requirement for Spyderco’s. The knife is the right size but I would like bigger. Even though the size it is does everything I need.

Scott is a friend of mine. He made this knife when he was about 70 years old, wearing trifocal glasses. Scott has built a few fine rifles too, among other things, like a Vans RV6-a kit plane, which he and his wife used to travel to knife shows all across the U.S. We had lunch together the other day and he was wearing a nice looking home made elk leather shirt jacket. He's a craftsman extraordinaire.

Amerikana idiotas.

How is the opening action for left handed ?

Both are nice lights. How did you get it? They are always sold out.

Awww, merry Christmas, Beeth!

That was too cool. Merry Christmas 🤘🤘

Poor performance m390 on that one.

Merry Christmas Tony and fam.

Merry Christmas

Why can't you pronounce it?

I want to daily a Mnandi, it checks so many boxes for me -- but the issue I find is that the size puts it into a weird category. Like it's a gentleman's knife but not ergonomic enough for EDC. If it was like 15% bigger it would be perfect, but the small Sebenza is all business, and the size and ergonomics are spot on for daily use.

how much u want for it
