- This video thoughtfully examines my knife collection, and picks 10 knives- maybe with an honorable mention. The knives I have picked start from under $100 to about $500. You'll find brands like Massdrop, Spyderco, Hawk Knives, GEC, Benchmade and more. I explain things I prefer in an every day carry blade, like weight, handle size, blade size, and how tactical it looks. Check out the full reviews below.

Bad purchasing decisions is literally the hobby.
Well put!
Like the Strider I want. Will I ever get it? Maybe.
Well said
@@voodoo7008 Why are they so fucking expensive?
@@Knivess0 because Strider makes small runs, and professional knife buyers grab them, and mark them way up. I’ve hit my limit of two off the rack, non-customs. I really like the way they feel in my hand, but will not be getting anymore.
Batoning with a Sebenza and a damn Bugout. Just a couple of many reasons to love this channel.
I give the viewers what they want!
But he is terrible at it
No man in this world batoning sebenza, you always win brother!
Chris Reeve be like: “I fear no evil, [*dramatic pause*] but that Bro, [*dramatic pause*] he scares me!
You should make a Top Ten $hitiest Knives. That should stir up a flame war.
Eddie King I'd watch that. Hell I'd watch AKB give a dissertation on paint drying. Fucking Hill Airiius.
Just list all your CRKTs, Gerbers, and Bucks..... DONE.
@@sferrell1987 see that's where me and you differ my first knife was a buck so I think of It highly because it was my first knife. second. It held up with all the random bs I put it through.
@@The_Koolman just curious - which buck?
@@shawnlizeleatherdale4052 my grandpa gave me a buck squire.
I gave a Buck 110 to grandpa in-law for Xmas, because he criticized my pimped ZT0562. 😢 A man should never feel shamed for his choice of cutting tool. I’ve realized after many years of being criticized as a knife person, that the bast answer for the “why do you need that knife” question is, ‘because it brings me joy...now, back up or I’ll slice you’.
Old guys love telling young guys they’re doing it wrong.
Yeah....lots of guys at work don't carry any pocket knife at all but they all know who to go to when they need one. 😂
🤣
Or you can just ask them "why do you need (blank)?" Because ppl buy a lot of shit that does nothing but advertise a brand. A supreme t-shirt for an example can cost more than any Benchmade depending on the availability of it. But in reality it's a piece of cloth and you can get the exact same material and build for $5 at Walmart. While some knives are more expensive because the engineering of the design and the expensive materials
@@Phaminator525 Its called fishing for money. If you can produce something that costs a couple of dollars and sell it for a couple hundred or a thousand. Then you are in business.
As a humble and rusty peasant my most expensive knife is a vanilla PM2, which I only stare at. The knife that lives in my pocket an occasionally sharp saber grind Endura. As much as I admire the more exotic pocket jewelry out there my brain rebels at the cost of a knife over $150, and even that seems excessive. Also this list made Lynn cry, may he forgive you.
This all sounds fine to me!
Cheap steel that needs constant resharpening and trash pocket clips are kind of a turn off. I do enjoy the more outrageous fantasy designs of Coldsteel though. Own a Rajah II. Tore the pocket clip off day one.
The batoning with the Sebenza with ants swarming about is just priceless
“Sure, everything is worth something to somebody, even states like Missouri “. 😂😂
I laughed so freaking hard! Keep it up bro!
As a guy named Randy, who's also an uncle, I'm no fan of the Buck 110. I wanted one as a kid in scouts, but dad never got me one & I couldn't buy it myself (too young). I got one a few years ago just to fullfil that childhood dream. It sucked so bad...the Benchmade Crooked River is my current favorite and has been for a couple of years now.
I was actually on the edge of buying the Sebenza, as I happend to stumble over your review and held out. Watching your videos and seeing you cut up boxes with 500$ knifes and listening to your comments, always sets my head back on track and keeps me from purchasing knifes, just because everybody says you have to have them. I cool down and buy the knifes I really enjoy. Thanks for that bro!! Greetings from Austria
Make sure it’s something you really like if you want to spend that kind of money on a knife. That’s all I’m saying.
ive heard all the you must have this crap. i just cant figure out what your 500$ knives do that my 50$ or less cant do just as good
You’ll eventually get a Sebenza if you love knives so just do it.
While you're telling you miserable edc stuff, Lynn Thompson is like "and with this cold steel spartan my friend killed a guy at a gas station in self defense or whatever" )))))))
I saw that video lol
Lynn’s a man who truly “gets it”
The poor BHQ guy, clearly a bit apprehensive to begin with, then Lynn goes and drops a stabbing-to-death story right on the table.
frank knights I won't Lynn been hoping someone would use some Coldsteel in self defence. Shit he probably paid the guy to stab someone just to tell that story lol
"It's coming right at me!" is all you have to say to get away with "self defense".
Can';t believe I'm still learning from your channel: "Rust curious" is a blade attribute. BTW, Uncle Randy always knows best...
always... and if he’s wrong it’s because he intends to be!
I’ve never laughed so hard at a knife review
"the full size to me just feels right"
that may have been what she said
jeff kraus no she didn.. oh ship I guess just not to me
10 years ago, when pocket knives were only just getting into powder steels, CRV was using S30V and S35VN way before it was cool. Back then they were really worth the $400; even few high end knives had the fit and finish that CRV did. Now that everyone and there kid brother is making knives with titanium frame lock handles and S35VN blades for $150-200, the Sebenza just isn’t worth it.
True dis
The Spyderco Endura 4 was the knife that got me started in my knife addiction as well. Thanks for the laughs and the awesome content!
It’s a great one, thanks man!
Cool to see people’s knife progression over time.
You've encouraged me to carry my late 90s Leatherman Sideclip today for a little change. So congratulations, pats on the back.
Never heard of this channel before today. I like your video style and pace, sense of humor and choice in gear.
This may be the most entertaining, honest, and informative knife videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
Your dry Sarcastic reviews are just the best. Thank you.
What else needs to be said. This list does it all! Thanks for that!
You are brutally honest and make great videos. Keep doing what you do! Ps. I wish I hade an uncle named Randy but i make do with one called Thorgil, who is also quite traditional.
Excellent Review! No wasted time, concise and succinct!
I freaking love this guys knife reviews. Very... unique. But seriously, they are great.
So happy the crooked river is on the list, that has to be my all time favorite folder
You inspire me to make those same "bad purchase" decisions and I like it! Thanks Bro, great vid!
Thanks man!
Another hilarious, kick ass video!
I was super impressed with how easy those $250 knives could cut through cardboard! I just threw all my $15 box cutters away. There out of my life! I feel so liberated. And the way that $450 knife chopped that log when bashed with that other little log! I mean come on! That just replaced a $9 saw and a $40 axe! I’m done with the budget bullshit. And to think I’ve been carrying around a $70 multitool for years when I could have been carrying a $200 single blade folder. Shame! I feel so old and gay like Uncle Randy.
I think I’m going to change my username to Dusty Rainbow now.
Endura 4 started it all for me too. Seen a Nutn Fancy video, and I was hooked. Still is great work knife for me. Nice job on this video.
Love your sense of humor. We need more vid!!!
"My Top 10 hoarding excuses"
Raise your hand if you watch CZcams, so that you don’t feel like you have a problem....
@@AdvancedKnifeBro you are more of an enabler than an influencer
🙋
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I have a problem with different things. Fragrances, guns, shoes, shirts, hats. Luckily being a power lineman, I can support my obsessions.
You can't have too many knives or flashlights. It's like asking how many fish you should catch or how
many Pringles you should eat ... a few more.
Totally unsolicited Sharpmaker cleaning tip: I've had mine since 2007 and always had a tough time cleaning the ceramic stones and knew they weren't working well. 5 minutes using Bar Keepers Friend and green Scotch Brite pads has easily cleaned all the clogged metal off the stones. I forgot how good the sharpening system could be. Plus I cleaned and polished the sink afterwards which gave me some domestic points in the process.
~ Your channel Rocks \m/
That Tile!! Mid century joy!
Uncle Randy sure gets about.
Great video and interesting choices.
Thanks for the share . I have a few fav in a storage and the number just growing year after year but in the last 10 years looks like nothing been able to kick the Millie out of my pocket . Well at least my son having a good time to find his best edc blade .
I went down the same path, from LM PST to Endura. Only my Endura is ATS 55. Which makes it nearly 20 years old. Still rocking.
That sebenza slicing through the tomato was like ASMR.
I appreciate the enthusiasm. Great video
Got to love the Endura. I must say after watching the review of the Broken Scull, I might try that for my first light weight Cold Steel.
This channel brings me great joy. When researching knives you keep coming up every few weeks and I check if I’m subbed but I am. Pretty sure I subbed to you within the first minute of the first video of yours I watched.
Had to watch this again. So good!!
Your growing on me. Your ability to keep me interested is praise worthy. I stream you on the big screen and the whole room cant be productive while your on. None of them carry knives.
Bird chirps is a nice touch. You continue to impress to me.
i love the honest review of the sebenza. Ive been looking at getting one but same as you said in the video, I already have a few $200+ production knives. So I likely wont waste my time on one now.
4:41 I like the detail in the decor! Well done Sir!
The Caribbean is my favorite good to see it on the list
Love your humor! Great videos!
Another great, insightful video. Thank you.
Thank you!
I’m a grown man watching another grown man cut apples and cardboard for ten minutes during my lunch break. And now I’m commenting on it. Dad, if you can hear me, I’m sorry.
Imagine me squirming when someone try’s to make conversation by saying “so I hear you have a CZcams channel.” I told my wife not to tell people!
Your deadpan humour is great, you are now an honorary Brit.
Solid vid as always. Keep it up.
I needed a laugh today and your videos always crack me up
OMG absolutely rolling that commentary is legit!
The original Endura started my knife hobby back in the early 90s. It was put together with pins and rivets, so could never be taken apart. The pocket clip was plastic and part of the handle.
I still have it. It still has zero blade play, and still works just like when it was new. But it started me down the knife collecting road, and has therefore cost me a shit ton of money. Damn that knife.
Same. My experience exactly. Except I broke my first two endura’s pocket clips. But I still have the knives.
This video really hits home.
Man I’m glad I followed you! Your awesome man. Thanks for so much info
I think I had those Lino floors in the late 50's. Takes me back.
I'm very close with you. I EDC a Benchmade Crooked River and Spyderco Endura 4, and the next knife I've got my eyes on is a Laconico. Great video!
Advanced is STILL my favorite Knife bro~ great videos keep em coming
Epic! ‘And some other bull shit I just made up’, says it all Bro. Great vid, loved seeing you’re always qualified opinion. Pleasure as always. Cheers.
Thanks man! I make it up as I go
Best knife videos on CZcams! Hands down...
Thanks man!
Lol, the Buck 110 is totally an uncle Randy knife
If you talk shit about it- the uncle Randy’s come out of the beautiful mahogany wood work- that they built by hand.
C'mon .. the Buck 110 is cool. It's an era/classic with nice lines. If you were a confirmed new Corvette Nerd and a 57 Chevy pulled up beside you at a light.. You'd like it. There's so much to like, to embrace, So many weird quirky knives that aren't made anymore that make great self imposed Scavenger Hunt targets cause you can't buy them at retail anymore.. An Opinel is so much different than all the new stuff.. but still ...that charm. When the wind blows put your sail up.. Going off course is fun.
Really liked the style of your video, thanks.
OMG What a great video, love your style and what you say is 100% true, subed.
Your patchy Millennial beard is a must-have in the knife world. The mangy whiskers make it look like you’ve tested your edges on your face.
I had a Sebenza and a Para 2 that I spend as much if not more on.
Now I just have a Para 2.
My top 10 is probably half Spydercos (PM2, UKPK, Spydie Chef, Military and the new Smock pushed the Manix 2 out)
Ritter grip(both regular and mini) Carson Tech Griffin with a N77 blade
A2 A1 front flipper
Zieba front flipper in Aeb-l
Bull Shamwari in Damasteel
GEC Bullnose in O1 steel.
Hands down the funniest knife review I’ve seen.
great selection
Loved the framing hammer reference! More mentions of framing hammers please!
Stop the hammering!
Nice Leatherman collection👍🏻
as a knife collector I feel so out of tune I need one bad!
thanks for the Sebenza reference too😅
That’s just a fraction of the Leatherman collection now.
I like how you were honest about the CRK Sebenza. I have a knife collection, but don’t own one. I have handled a couple and was frankly unimpressed for the price they go for. Is it a nice blade? Sure. But as you said it wouldn’t “change my life” to own one.
My favorite is my spyderco police folder from the mid 90s. Mine is made with ATS 55....from my research they only made 1000 of these with this kind of steel. I think the bulk of them were made with ATS 35 steel. I lost it about 4 years ago then found it under about 3 inches of dirt in my back yard....must have dropped it while doing some kind of cutting chore. I washed it off and its still good as new. No rust what so ever. Great all around knife.
Good review, thanks!
This has been an awesome video to watch.. great dialogue 👌I think you really made me want one of each 😁
Thanks dude!
Ordering a Caribbean. Thanks mate ✌
Probably one of my favorite videos. You’re a funny Dude.
Just stumbled onto your channel and now I'm binge watching. I feel like I found the "This Old Tony" of knives ROFL
Well played sir, well played...we the people thank you for your honest no bs approach..now just pop the lid of the sharpmaker half way
on when using it for greater stability during use... 🤙🏼
You know I’ve used this for about 5 years now, and occasionally use that. However it never made much difference to me, which is why I forget to use it nearly every time.
I heard some steel connoisseurs are already using maxamet as toilet paper after seeing Petes Tungsten carbide and Rex 121 vids
don0giorgio Yeah, but less than 1000 rope cuts are really not sufficient for EDC
@@jangounbrained with 1-1,5 inch of the blade i must say, so you could easily multiply that 1000 by 3x)))
JangoUnbrained those amazon packages are really hard on a blade.
This was so funny! I love it. Subbed
Good vid and some cool blades! Love me some Spyderco too!
Love the video great humor and I agree with you on this sebenza
No ants were killed intentionally in the making of this video! :))
FFS he killed a few clans, but in fairness they did seem to be walking up to the guillotine on their own.
@@Anon00731 :))
The Benchmade Fact is a hidden gem that needs more love.
It goes to 11! That Crooked River has been calling my name. Must resist!
It’s a nice one!
Currently enjoying your entire library to alleviate the 'Rona lockdown. Thanks for all you do @advancedknifebro you're a true blue knife bro for sure. Also, I now want a Benchmade 940. Good looking knife that. Cheers!!! 🤘🍻☣
My dude!
Great channel. Very unique, clever and yeah... funny. Keep up the great work.
Hey man sadly i am an avid you tuber i have been for yrs . Lol. Watched 1000's of videos over the yrs. I subscribed to your channel a few months ago & i have to say i love your videos man. Their Full of information. Always interresting & there funny as hell at times. Keep up the good man.
This video reinforces how much i love cheap knives.
I like the fact you actually take an expensive knife and use it or abuse it. Those guys who sit in a room and pull out all sorts of blades and ooh and aw just don't impress. Keep it up.
Your writing is absolutely brilliant, world changing. I hope, outside the knife channel, you are working pro or amateur somewhere as a playwright, screenwriter, copywriter, novelist, blogger, journalist, comedian, whatever. I will buy your magnum opus (if I'm not already).
I like the Spyderco Delica with ZDP-189 steel, but that Endura looks good too.
I am quite happy with my custom m4 griptilian, but damn if i don't keep watching every single one of your videos and say, "i should buy an s110v PM2 and compare the two," or "hmm, maybe I can use a machete to trim the hedges, I don't think the HOA has laws against that." Cheers man, keep up the good work.
Stick with what you got! Thanks man!
Hit the nail on the head with the sebenza! Exactly the way I feel! Love this channel!
Thanks man!
Advanced Knife Bro = Hipsters discovered the Steel advantage!
Love your voice-overs bro, you should have more subs!
Nice picks !!!!
Nice !!! Loved it
I grew up in Bradford PA, home of the Case knife. Suffice it to say, I never purchased one in my life because all I had to do was wait for my birthday, or Christmas and I would often get one as a gift. Bradford also happens to be the home of the world famous Zippo Mfg. By the way Zippo acquired Case many years ago. Both companies are still going strong.
On a final note, I've never purchased a Zippo lighter either....much the same scenario as the knives. I've gotten many limited edition knives and lighters over the years. Zippo also produced a SS wallet that I gave to about 12 coworkers in Chicago about 5 years ago. They all loved them and still use them to this day. Unfortunately, Zippo no longer makes them.
The blade of my benchmade 591BK in 3V steel outperforms my S35VN Chris Reeve too.
3:36 Which is why I have a Civivi Chronic in a pretty purple color! 🥰
