Hi Jarred! Of all the knives you own, the USMC Medford folder is my favorite. You are so fortunate to own that knife. I love military knives but that one is really out of my pocket reach. Enjoy it man.
Sitting on the end table next to me as I watch this are…XM24, XM18, AD20, Socom Elite and ZT0562. 😂 All of them very over built for the only cutting task I had today, opening a printer box, but I was ready!! Great list.
I didn't realize "Hardest Use" nd "Toughest" were synonyms for "Hard to find" and "Expensive as hell" 🤣🤣🪒🔪 lol kinda true but just kidding around 😁 Great list tho, definately saw a couple that I've had my eye on for a minute.
Love that knife so much. But for the price I bought 3 Ka-bar Beckers (1 for me 1 for my dad 1 for my father in law) and a s&w comat dagger. And still had 480$ left over. I’ll buy another pistol before I pay that much for a knife.
I love how in depth you are with your knives. I just ordered a new PM2 in s45vn, I just got my manix 2 less then two weeks ago 😂. That joker addition ad-15 is bad ass. I have the cold steel version, I'm on Nathan's knives books for some new custom scales for it.
Thanks Jared, great 👍LIST !! .ALL RESPECT YOUR EXPERT OPINION 👏 .I agree with all of your pick ..I'd like to see your XM. With the micarta scales on IT. want some for mine ! Bronzed xmas. What color is your micarta. From who. ?
Awesome knives, man!!!! I wish I could get that Demko 20 so bad. Those are just way out of my price range. You know I got the "filet mignon taste in a Ramen noodle budget"😅🥲
Glad you said it before I wrote it. There is nothing, I mean NO KNIFE that is stronger then a cold steel recon 1 or any other old steel knife with a tri-ad lock. 🤷🏻♂️
@@rjlewis8346 not based on my opinion, based on fact. There are countless tests done to prove that. Subjective is your opinion based on biased because you like another type or brand of folder. But every expert agrees, the cold steel tri-ad lock is the strongest lock on a folder ever made.
@@concernedpatriot.2221 I’m pretty sure not every expert agrees. Also, did they test every other knife in the world to see if there was anything stronger
Hi, i am big fan of your channel… i am looking for an super strong edc knive. i consider the spartan harsey, but the smaler one or the dpx hest. which would you recommend? greetings m
I own many knives of all different shapes, sizes and price points but my "hardest use" knife is my Leatherman Wingman. It always seems to get the worst jobs and hasn't let me down in a decade.
Slam the knife blade spine against the edge of a table to see how solid they are. I have a bench made frame lock and it breaks the lockup, allowing the blade to close.
I absolutely ❤️ how Jared describes knives, but for an incredibly immature reason; being they could all be followed w/ that's what he/she said:"This thing can take a ton of abuse." "I'm pushing, I'm pushing, I'm pushing."
Just curious man do you not like Emerson knives. I collect a wide range from 3k and down. Got a few a100s and recently got a cqc7 and man it seems pretty damn tough. What’s your thoughts? A lot of ppl don’t like the chisel grind. But I do. It’s so easy to sharpen. Plus easy to take apart.
Jared most people that buy tons of knives don’t use most of them other than to carry to their office and show their coworkers how low speed high drag they are 😂. I’ve been using a plain sebenza 21 since 2012, I’ve done things with it that knives are not meant to do and it’s still serving me very well with GASP s35vn steel.
I had one of the knives with the lock that slides into place pop open and the knife closed on my pinkie. The knife was made by kershaw and I still have pain in that pinkie and some numbness over 1 year later
Great video as always Jared. Ive always used a swiss army knife for my "hard use". Thin blade that sharpens up very quickly after cutting dumb stuff and a flathead that i have pried tons with. Not to mention all the extra tools for like 20 bucks
You are correct in the assumption about doing a hollow grind. Id do it. How about you ? Lol Just came across your channel, and bar none, you know your shit man !! Great info, and intertaining delivery . Great job bro. Thanks for what you do. Jwg
I think that Spartan Harsey would be 😙 with a hollow grind, it’s on my list to pick up without it, if I had the opportunity to get one with a regrind I’d jump in a heartbeat. That’s something I would like to have done to at least one of my Hinderers.
What sharpening equipment do you own and/or use? I’ve only got the Spyderco Sharpmaker as a foray into beginner sharpening, so I’m curious what you use to add choils or make hollow grinds.
I freehand, I have a huge Sharpening play list available I have a massive stone collection and offer a Sharpening service I also have a couple systems if people request but everyone always wants my freehand edges
I'd add the Medford 187dp and the Strider smf. How did you get that ad20 so drop smooth? Did it come out of the box like that, or did you disassemble it? I need to give mine some wrist action to close. Thanks.
The Cage on the manix isn't as much an issue as The screw on the stop pin! I saw that on Blade HQ test with lock mechanisms! My lightweight manix 2 I had was so strong, even with the plastic scales. Thanks for the videos Jared!
Yeah I think it's plenty strong I did show the video in a live of demkos test on the manix 2. I'd still love to see the same test with the titanium Cage just because
Another thing that makes the full-size sheepsfoot Griptilian so tough is the full-width blade stock out to about 3/4" from the tip; amazing tip strength. One of the biggest reasons it's in my lineup every single day
Why didn’t you post links to each knife you presented? I could be mistaken, maybe it’s Metal Complex (or another knife channel), but don’t you normally do that too? Thanks, and I really appreciate all of your advice and expertise! Keep it up with amazing content! ;-}. MM
i do but in some cases theres no link available to me, its been a while since i did this video, so i do have more places to link from now, but i only link affiliated places, not including if they are in stock or not or available through one of my affiliates but yes i always link as much as possible
Your thoughts on an 18-20/1000 zero convex with a buffed edge? Also ... What do you think about the Cold Steel SR-1 ? 5mm stock, 45 thou BTE.... It seems like the tanto is stronger than the clip point, but both are about as close to a fixed blade as you can get, at least that's the way it seems
What do you mean 18-20/1000, I think cold steels locks and construction make some of their geometry make sense they are made to do far more than just cutting
In the Manix2 XL the ball bearing is the load bearing part. The cage is simply there to manually retract the bearing, there by unlocking the knife. I agree the titanium cage makes the manual operation more reliable. I've watched a CZcamsr baton desert hard wood with the XL for two days. The end result, was the blade had slight side to side play, which was easily adjusted out. Dollar for dollar, it's hard to beat the Manix2 XL. Although your choice in hard use knives is excellent.🔥👍🏻🔥 BTW, TRI-AD Lock..JS🤔
I watched a spine strength test and it failed incredibly way to easily imo, it was under 200 lbs I believe, I think it was way under, now I still think it's a very tough knife, demko did the video
I think a nice hollow on your Spartan is a fantastic idea. If you did it like Civivi does on the Hadros for example and don’t go all the way, but like 3/4 or 4/5 of the way to the spine it would be sick.
Yes, and surprisingly easy to carry, for its size. I carry one, with a drop point blade, as part of my edc rotation. Also rotate in a Manix 2 (standard size) and a Massdrop Perpetua. I can’t seem to find any other folders that I like quite as much. I would love to try a Hinderer XM-24, but cannot afford $400+ for a knife.😥
Even if you had enough money saved to buy the Hinderer of your choice, finding it is quite another story! I’ve been searching and barely missing the rare drop or two for over a year now! Getting a little discouraged but I’m not giving up!
I'm sorry but crk is one of the strongest knives did test with umnumzaan and the results are incredible absolutely and I'm talking heat treat on the blade is insane
I still wonder why folding knives strength tests are all about locking mechanism. I never use the spine of my folding knives. I want to know which knives would handle heavy use on the edge part of the blade, therefore pressure toward the back, not pressure toward the closed position. 🤷♂
The reason why is because it would be considered the weakest point on most knives, the stop pin should be strong enough for most things considering it's a tough knife, geometry will be the biggest factor next to lock strength, meaning the blade will snap. Also the closing direction is the most dangerous to the user if it fails. And if your cutting something and the blade gets caught in some way, and you have to rock it up and down to pull it out you don't want the blade to close on your hand, or if you stab into something you don't want the lock to fail
2:45 dude! that replaced cage idea is fuckin sic! ill drink to that, or spark one up whatever your poison, don matter. looks good and very practical, did you do that yourself? also im wondering if that could be possible on a SOG seal xr? i absolutely love my seal xr folder but i also really love slim profile knives and im curious if something like that could slim it down very much, curious your thoughts. 9:56, aah now youre talkin my language, love spartan knives, great company, even greater group of guys, i still take out my spartan cqb tool every now and then to "play". that socom elite is dope as F, i like the colors too, the aluminum scales are hardcore, aircraft grade aluminum just like my benchmade infidel, they take a lickin and keep on tickin.18:15 lol its an attitude adjuster, lol love the vid, what shenanigans would you have in the way of fixed blades?
So the cage is made aftermarket and wouldn't work on a sog because the spring system is different, the manix uses a ball lock instead of a bar and is in a more reliable spring. So unless a company makes an aftermarket part it won't work, all these knives are straight badassery all the way around, someone tried telling me aluminum isn't good for knives and that socom would probably break lol 😆 I laughed and reminded him how tried and tested these knives are in the most insane environments under extreme pressure
@@NeevesKnives yeah no doubt, when I was still with my unit I watched one of my army buddies drop his Benchmade infidel off the top of a Hmmt wrecker(army tow truck), then to only get the knife ran over by said wrecker, in the motor pool, Which the ground of our motor pool was asphalt. I quickly picked it up for him I didn't actuate it as it had some crud boogers near and on the mechanism, so we took it over to the power washer switched the washer to low and then cleaned it out, and took it to the air compressor and blew the shit out of it. No probs after mechanism still worked like a champ!
Okay….so I’m absolutely sure that these featured knives are very high quality and mfg from excellent materials no doubt. But I see a video about toughest hard use knives I kinda want to see that they were actually used for something. You know… like pruning shrubs or battening kindling or breaking down a huge stack of cardboard boxes , maybe field dress and skin some game. These look like they’ve never cut anything so their “hard use toughness”is theoretical as far as I can tell.
Always thought my protech sng would be crazy strong because the button lock. Same with my piranha x and L.U.D.T . I beat on my small sebenza tanto big time ..
Yea buddy, awsome hard hitters and I can attest to that. I have used these and seen with my own eyes that the abuse can be handled without a hitch😅👊I must say tho that my preatorian T ? Oooh man,,.🤯I have stuck it through 2x4's and 3x6's and climbed the walls with it and my preatorian G and only slight scuffs at the tip. Man, I should have got it on video😂😂next time I do it (if I do) I'll definitely record it. Ther goez my warranty 😂😂😂
The axis lock is no better than a liner lock under testing. The claim that it “has to literally push through the spine” has been thoroughly debunked. The spring bar simply moves out of the way and allows the blade to fold under tension.
Is your AD 15 in Hulk colors on purpose? ;-) (Nevermind, I see its the Joker edition, it looks more like the Hulk IMO, which fits into the toughness part of this video even better)
Nice collection. No way you bought all of these. Are they review samples or are people just sending you all of these knives because of your glowing personality?
Not sure I follow your definition of strong. You seem to focus on perceived lock strength and also scale toughness. For locks, cross bar locks (like the Axis locks of Benchmade) are stronger than liner locks and frame locks. Lockbacks are also stronger than liner locks yet you show no lockbacks in your demo (like the excellent and venerable Buck 110, or like many excellent Spyderco models). Scale materials other than metal (Titanium, Steel or Aluminium) like G10 and Micarta and - why not - FRN, are very tough. Also you have not taken in to account the actual steel used in making the knives. I think you should refine your criterias.
I only have a couple lock backs but not tri ad, regular lock backs are not as strong as you think, certain framelocks with specific lock face geometry are very strong I'm looking at lock strength and blade strength, just because a lock is strong doesn't mean the blade won't snap. I'm looking at all around strong and tough, yes I know that axis locks are stronger than liner locks I believe I talked about them in the beginning, I used knives from my own collection
They have been tried tested and proven to be extremely tough, this is very tough aluminum, and it has steel parts sandwich construction. And the clip Is placed that direction for a reason and that's been proven as well to be better on this knife in most cases yes tip up us better but not on thus knife, go watch all the videos on the microtech socom elite it's been around for 20 plus years for a reason battle tested and used in extreme conditions.
I know a lot of prissy knife guys gonna laugh at me but hard using a 200$ plus knife......smh, not gonna happen, hard use knife for me ... kershaw oblivion, at 35$ i can buy six for that and never worry bout breaking one during hard use
Hi Jarred! Of all the knives you own, the USMC Medford folder is my favorite. You are so fortunate to own that knife. I love military knives but that one is really out of my pocket reach. Enjoy it man.

In a way isn't the scorpion lock a version of the triad lock? Your hand acts as the third point of contact with the lock pin and knife.

The axis lock is no better than a liner lock under testing. The claim that it “has to literally push through the spine” has been thoroughly debunked. The spring bar simply moves out of the way and allows the blade to fold under tension.
Heck yeah
The manix 2 and griptillian are such good knives. Especially the griptillian considering you can get it for 100 bucks at times.
You should test out the sog seal xr
Id like to see that one of these days i will definitely set something up for these tests
I have one if you want to review it
Only one of the following statements is true:
CRK Sebenza's are designed for hard use.
Polar bears are exceptional baby sitters.
Is your AD 15 in Hulk colors on purpose? ;-) (Nevermind, I see its the Joker edition, it looks more like the Hulk IMO, which fits into the toughness part of this video even better)
True lol
Eric, from Spyderco, claims the Manix 2 is the strongest (hardest use) knife that Spyderco has ever produced.
Watch my last live i show a video with its strength
Where is the TRIAD lock 😂. You need to get a mini tuff lite for Kara , then you will have one in your collection. Nice video , thanks
👊 rather have a spear point code 4
The sabenza 21 has a lock that fails at 45lbs. That’s pretty weak.
You put way to much emphasis on the fidget factor. It’s a tool not a toy.
You are choosing your 10 knives but the industry knows most cold steel knives rule!
But I don't have any
Hey jarred!!! Wasn't a sub now I am
🙏 thank you

Nice collection. No way you bought all of these. Are they review samples or are people just sending you all of these knives because of your glowing personality?
These are all mine but yes most were gifts, I have been extremely blessed
nice looking swastika. I'd be careful with that

Your welcome
Didn’t expect this to be theoretical
? What do you mean
I would personally do it too , if your not happy and have the ability. Change it ,you will probably use it more .
Probably
You do realize that blade hq did test and have it all rated. They have a video.
Not sure I follow your definition of strong. You seem to focus on perceived lock strength and also scale toughness. For locks, cross bar locks (like the Axis locks of Benchmade) are stronger than liner locks and frame locks. Lockbacks are also stronger than liner locks yet you show no lockbacks in your demo (like the excellent and venerable Buck 110, or like many excellent Spyderco models). Scale materials other than metal (Titanium, Steel or Aluminium) like G10 and Micarta and - why not - FRN, are very tough. Also you have not taken in to account the actual steel used in making the knives. I think you should refine your criterias.
I only have a couple lock backs but not tri ad, regular lock backs are not as strong as you think, certain framelocks with specific lock face geometry are very strong I'm looking at lock strength and blade strength, just because a lock is strong doesn't mean the blade won't snap. I'm looking at all around strong and tough, yes I know that axis locks are stronger than liner locks I believe I talked about them in the beginning, I used knives from my own collection
your microtech looks tuff for me like a toy with fake carbon and bad clipp placement. but aluminium is not known for beeing tuff. ipone6 bend gate
They have been tried tested and proven to be extremely tough, this is very tough aluminum, and it has steel parts sandwich construction. And the clip Is placed that direction for a reason and that's been proven as well to be better on this knife in most cases yes tip up us better but not on thus knife, go watch all the videos on the microtech socom elite it's been around for 20 plus years for a reason battle tested and used in extreme conditions.
I want a knife with a titanium blade
No you don't it's not hard enough to be a good blade, extremely difficult to get sharp and sharpen period it's very strong but not hard
@@NeevesKnives 👍👍👍👍
I know a lot of prissy knife guys gonna laugh at me but hard using a 200$ plus knife......smh, not gonna happen, hard use knife for me ... kershaw oblivion, at 35$ i can buy six for that and never worry bout breaking one during hard use
ZT 0562
I just want a folder that I can baton a piece of wood with and have it not explode in my hand😂
THEN YOU WANT A TRI AD LOCK FROM COLD STEEL LIKE AN AD10 OR 4MAX, VOYAGER EXC..
Not to mention, the word 'sebenza' literally means "WORK"!
Right
