Wow the timing, I just got the twosun ts197 today, managed to get it from eBay for $40. I love it, the sound it makes is incredible and it came extremely sharp out of the box.
I have the lockback version of that civivi. Its the Rustic Gent. Its discontinued, so if you want one, get it now. Its an amazing little knife. The blade is super thin and slicy cause of the hollow. I like modern traditionals. The Appalachian drifter 2 is on my list. Probs gonna get the purple g10 version.
Very cool knives overall, for me a gent knife is usually under 3" and is slim enough to wear in a pair if dress pants or be in a slip but not bulging out the pocket. A lighter carry also. Just my way of looking at things but lots of opinions on this subject nowadays and tons of awesome knives to choose from. Thanks for the look see Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
I love my Appalachian drifter. Got the front flipper version, purple with the carbon fiber bolster. Detent is a little lite I guess. I can easily reverse flick it but I can also strait wrist flip it without touching the blade what so ever. A beautiful knife no doubt about it.
@@NeevesKnives … I wanted a Holliday with Snakewood, but they are not available anymore. Hopefully, they will do another run in Snakewood or that crawdad bone. The Cherry Bomb is cool too though?
The first knife was a J.E. Made Swayback. If it comes to classic looking slipjoints made of premium materials, J.E. Made is - in my opinion - one of the best manufacturers in the world. Jack Wolf knives seem to be on a similar or even the same level but with a more modern design language. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to handle a Jack Wolf knife.
Awesome video man, It was right up my alley. I absolutely love my slip joints. Jack Wolf knives is killing it with their slip joints. But what happened to that Trivisa slip joint you had? I've been wondering how well that one has been working for you. I'm really thinking about getting one and would love your feedback on how well it's working for you... Again great video man!
Hey Jared, what would you say is a good sharpening grit and sharpening angle and blade grind for a self defense knife? At 8:25, like a nessmuck perhaps?
I have the lock back version of that Civivi, but I think they have a double detent version as well.Have you checked out the HSK Machineworks Lenny's Clip? I love the walk and talk on that one..unique acoustics!
The Rustic Gent is a lockback; the original Appalachian Drifter is a double detent slipjoint; the Appalachian Drifter II is a liner lock front flipper.
Jerad did you get the premium Grazioso yet? I'm really curious about that. Just think that the carbon fiber with the bolster lock looks fantastic. I thought it was gonna release with S35VN steel but I see that they changed it to 20CV. Both the budget version and Premium ones looks really good. And I don't think the recurve on them would be hard to sharpen, compared to larger recurves.
Less steel or thickness behind the edge, so if the geometry is done well it can cut great, also it doesn't get thicker after Sharpening and stays thin after a long time of use, flat grinds can also be done very well with cutting and sharpening wise but will always get thicker as you sharpen, but some are done extremely well so that it doesn't effect the cutting performance because it's barely any thicker after many sharpening
@@NeevesKnives Gotcha, you're the best Jared. I got back in knives because of your channel and your awesome videos and the way you roll and explain things thank you.
No that was the detent when closing, the blade will hit the detent on the way down on a liner lock or framelock, so it's nice when they are at a very high degree, lower they can be irritating
Some one please help there’s a brand of knife that are fairly expensive and I think the logo was a SP and they are faked and I can’t find it anywhere anymore and it’s driving me nuts
No they were folders i thought you had one on one of your videos and you said that this is probably not a real “brand name” for this price and then I looked it up and it was like a 150-250 price knife and they were mostly sold out I don’t remember for sure it was SP but it was something p where the first letter turned into the second one for the logo
Why is that most of "gentleman knives" are slip joints ? Are flipper tabs, autos and others not gentleman-like enough ? Are they peasants of some sorts, huh ? Can anybody answer that :D ?
I agree, but I got destroyed in the comments in my last video on my version of gent knives, saying they have to be traditional knives to be gentle knives the point is non threatening and gentleman like, dress pants exc..
Just following on from Jared's comment. There are no strict rules about what a gent's knife really is but a couple of 'rules' I apply are: 1) is this a knife that I would be prepared to pull out and use at a wedding or dinner party in front of other possibly non-knife people? 2) is it light & slim enough to carry in a suit pocket? and 3) is it stylish and made from nice materials. What a gent's knife is not - large, tactical, aggressive etc. Ultimately though - carry what makes you happy!!
@@NeevesKnives non threatening - ok, but are these slip joints practically really less threatening than say a Kershaw launch series autos (as we all know autos in general are devices of mass destruction and terror regardless of their size XD ) :)
@@realbroggo I beg to differ a little bit. There's a category of knives that imo are very gentleman like but if neccessary could be "tactical and agressive"....like any other knife actually :D eg Civivi Plethiros - a medium size flipper, very light weight and pretty stylish, looks very nice and unassuming at the first glance but the blade it hides is pretty substantial for any edc utility activities and self defence as well. The same story with TWOSUN TS43 (i finally got it hahha :D ) - a very elegant, mediumish size flipper with a very menacing American tanto blade. Imo, these knives are gentleman too. Being a stylish gentleman shouldn't exclude the potential for ruggedness and bite so to speak, that's how i see it at least :)
@@wojciechk50 Comment most welcome! I think this shows how personal opinion matters. In fact what is a 'gentleman' these days? But you're right there are many exceptions to all rules and selecting a tanto or larger blade knife is not an automatic exclusion. Choose a blade that works for you and go with it! Have a great day.

Nice!
Finch knives just speak to me. Love all their designs.
JE Made knives are excellent, with great materials, fit and finish - well worth a look.
The third knife, that's the deepest clip point I've ever seen. I absolutely dig it.
I have the lockback version of that civivi. Its the Rustic Gent. Its discontinued, so if you want one, get it now. Its an amazing little knife. The blade is super thin and slicy cause of the hollow.

Right up my street, mate. I love these knives. It's not about how big it is, is about how you use it.
We're talking about knives still right? 😆
I own a Rustic Gent lockback and love it. Great bang for your buck
I love my Appalachian drifter. Got the front flipper version, purple with the carbon fiber bolster. Detent is a little lite I guess. I can easily reverse flick it but I can also strait wrist flip it without touching the blade what so ever. A beautiful knife no doubt about it.
You can always make it stronger if wanted
Pretty much Finch’s whole line could have gone in this thread. Understand you can’t cover them all. You do a great job!!!
For sure, the Harvester is my favorite one atm
@@NeevesKnives … I wanted a Holliday with Snakewood, but they are not available anymore. Hopefully, they will do another run in Snakewood or that crawdad bone. The Cherry Bomb is cool too though?
Love my Harvester!
Ahhh, Civivi...really liking this line.
Nice video, love modern traditional. Love traditional period but it’s nice to have some great materials on them.
Don't forget the Enzo Pk70 with titanium bolster!!! Love that knife.
💥😎That was a Helluva Slow 💥Bang! lol😅👍🇺🇸
I. Also prefer a pocket clip . Don't want my knife loose in pocket , to get dinged up . ! Combo a traditional with slip ..
Bang!! 💥💥
Gotta go with the Appalachian drifter. And prob the flipper version just for safety instead on the slip joint. Great vid jared!!
the sitivien damascus looks beautiful...i got a 30$ sitivien last week and it has no business being only 30$
Love the way you start all your videos, BANG NEEVS KNIVES 😏👌love it brotha, just keep 💯!!!

CIVIVI offers as well as: Rustic Gent = Backlog, Appalachian Drifter = Double-Detent slip joint.
love the Bexar & Jackwolf blades. cutting contest between those 2 would be interesting
That's a great idea
Cool video thanks.
Find myself going for more gentleman’s knives lately, must be becoming more gentlemanly as I get older lol.
Awesome video man, It was right up my alley. I absolutely love my slip joints. Jack Wolf knives is killing it with their slip joints. But what happened to that Trivisa slip joint you had?

What's up my man, great showing dude, those are great suit knives
👊
É um amor maravilhoso TOP demais
That cheap little Sitivian is a really good looking knife
I believe the TwoSun is a Nesmuck blade shape.
Kizer Yorkie 💯
I can understand banning one hand opening knives, but why the lock? It's a safety feature
9:38 Kanspet BEVY is the slip joint version of the Wedge, not "swedge" (which doesn't exist as far as I can tell).
yeah its called trying to remember thousands of knife names smh
@@NeevesKnives yeah, i only cared because i liked it and was trying to find one. Kinda wish they were more around the 50$ mark though.
Hey Jared, what would you say is a good sharpening grit and sharpening angle and blade grind for a self defense knife? At 8:25, like a nessmuck perhaps?

I have not but I will go and look it up
The Rustic Gent is a lockback; the original Appalachian Drifter is a double detent slipjoint; the Appalachian Drifter II is a liner lock front flipper.
Jared, what is the first knife that you review in this video? Thank you.
i showed a picture in the video of the name
@Neeves Knives Thanks, Jared. I went back and located it.
I liked this list. I don’t recall seeing one in your videos, ever check it a lion Steel best man 2? Keep up the great work bro 👊
I've seen them and they look amazing
@@NeevesKnives let me know if you want to borrow mine. It is lightly loved but in good shape 😂
Lion Steel make a range of classy knives - Italian styling really works. Best Man is a nice, well made knife but just a little pricey for me.
Jerad did you get the premium Grazioso yet? I'm really curious about that. Just think that the carbon fiber with the bolster lock looks fantastic. I thought it was gonna release with S35VN steel but I see that they changed it to 20CV. Both the budget version and Premium ones looks really good. And I don't think the recurve on them would be hard to sharpen, compared to larger recurves.
Yes I do have one, they just require slimmer stones for Sharpening
Jared, what's the advantage of the hollow grind over the flat grind?
Less steel or thickness behind the edge, so if the geometry is done well it can cut great, also it doesn't get thicker after Sharpening and stays thin after a long time of use, flat grinds can also be done very well with cutting and sharpening wise but will always get thicker as you sharpen, but some are done extremely well so that it doesn't effect the cutting performance because it's barely any thicker after many sharpening
@@NeevesKnives Gotcha, you're the best Jared. I got back in knives because of your channel and your awesome videos and the way you roll and explain things thank you.
The G Slip is a good inexpensive slip joint. QSP PENGUIN ? 🐧🐧
Do you all like the CRK Mnandi?
Absolutely but I dont have one
Why does the detent engage at 90° on the first knife? I don't understand the purpose
No that was the detent when closing, the blade will hit the detent on the way down on a liner lock or framelock, so it's nice when they are at a very high degree, lower they can be irritating
That last one looks pretty, but $60 for a damascus blade? Either it's fake, laser etched damascus, or it's made of very low grade steel.
fox knives gunstock recoil collector knives exclusive is a better deal than jack wolf knives, rather have a italian made slippy than a chinese one
Some one please help there’s a brand of knife that are fairly expensive and I think the logo was a SP and they are faked and I can’t find it anywhere anymore and it’s driving me nuts
I'm not sure, Ontario?
No they were folders i thought you had one on one of your videos and you said that this is probably not a real “brand name” for this price and then I looked it up and it was like a 150-250 price knife and they were mostly sold out I don’t remember for sure it was SP but it was something p where the first letter turned into the second one for the logo
