4 Awesome New EDC Fixed Blades!

[@CourtJester1960]

These days there is no longer an excuse for a company to use 440 steel or have a crappy sheath.

[@macmccartney5760]

Especially that Benchmade sheath simply because of the price being so high for no reason at all

[@tima7662]

The sheath on the Benchmade I 100% agree on. There is nothing wrong with 440 steel but the price is too high for it. Still a nice looking knife though.

[@fredcox6994]

440c yes, 440a no, crappy sheath definitely no

[@CourtJester1960]

All I mean is that there are better budget steels to be had. 440C is fine if properly cyro treated but it isn't a steel that catches the attention of a paying audience.

[@fredcox6994]

@@CourtJester1960 It catches my attention. It is the steel of many of my nicer Bokers and Linders and more than a couple handmades. At one time it was the steel of choice of most stock removal knifemakers. It has been replaced by the latest pretty faces, as have ATS 34, 154cm and others. The added value of many of these newer steels is almost negligible unless you're the one selling it

[@louzher6968]

"... comes with a God-awful plastic sheath... " lol

[@leewolf41]

Embarrassing for. Benchmade to put a $270 knife in a 5¢ sheath.

[@awdobsession717]

So embarrassing that they are selling out 🤷🏻‍♂️. I do agree the sheath could be better though. Historically speaking Benchmade has always made awkward or different style sheaths that are not leather. The leather ones they’ve made in the past have been fine.

[@mrk7806]

Terrible sheath

[@jamesraykenney]

I seriously do not see what is wrong with it... I have had nothing but problems with Kydex left in the car in the Texas summer heat...

​@@awdobsession717 Something selling well is not a testament to quality. More McDonald's is bought everyday than probably any other food-does that make them high-quality food?

[@redriver6541]

$270 for the Benchmade? They need to be ran out of business...... ridiculous

[@jackberdine]

Agree. That sheath wouldn't be acceptable on a hundred dollar knife. Actually disgusting what they're getting away with.

[@dwarvengamesmith9726]

Shit like that is why knockoffs are doing so well.

[@BrizzyMo]

Love that Vosteed

[@macdude04]

I love these short about edc fixed. I hope you review the WT lynx soon if you haven’t already

[@kennymckown8603]

Me too ! The last knife was ridiculous on the price !! 😅

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

thats benchmade for you..overpriced trash

[@brianrodman1033]

@@GrandmasterHobbyistI have their Hidden Canyon fixed blade and it’s incredible. Probably my favorite knife that I own. It has made me really want to buy more fixed blade knives from them (granted I’m not a fan of all of them but I do like this one in the short aside from the crap sheath).

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

@brianrodman1033 crap sheath at this price 😅

[@joserivera-fi8eq]

Beautiful benchmade. But for a premium knife and steel company to provide a shitty sheath for it lol. Vosteed did a better job with the sheath.

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

benchmade is shit, theyre always over priced and crap in comparison to the competition

[@alexandregraulle607]

If i had to buy one, i will take the Falkniven S1. The Esee 4. And the little Izula. But if course there is a few other ones ...

[@100BearPaw]

What does the width of your hand measure? Trying to gauge handle size. My hand is a smidge over 4” wide.

[@dayontapout]

Id really like to be a fly on the wall when Benchmade makes some of their corporate decisions.

[@nateand3]

Finally a Benchmade i like and the price it lile that. Too many good knives out there to over pay a company that's never impressed me anyway

[@kingsclownvideos]

Awesome

[@MikeJ602]

I got a Puma folder from my parents a while back. It flips open hard, drops shut like a dream, has real carbon fiber scales but it’s tip down, has a cheap steel and the blade stock is thicker than a snicker. I think they paid about 100 for it. I guess it woulda made an ok budget knife but I just can’t bring myself to carry it.

[@N3wbMa5t3r]

The Vosteed wins in my book.

[@Theredeemedchild2]

That benchmade looks good. I just wish it was quite a bit cheaper.

[@dzizitv3228]

Vosteed for me

[@wonseoklee-qj2li]

what is first clip name??

[@HonestArcher_13]

Hey Stassa, I've been enjoying your channel 4 a while😉 Especially 'cuz U show fixies.TY 4 that. Would U possibly mention the handle length? That would be highly appreciated 😊 God Bless

[@RenzieCat]

for close to $300 & a plastic sheath Benchmade needs serious mental help ..!!! I wouldnt buy a Benchmade no matter how cheap price is regardless.. Benchmade went woke bout 2 years ago.. go take look at their views on 2nd Ammendment

[@elliothagen9874]

Nice knives

[@bauwolfe9370]

You are going to get me in to trouble. I was on Amazon last night for over an hour buying knives!

What’s a good aftermarket pocket clip for a kydex sheath?

MY COOL KNIFE BUDDY. YES U HAVE KNIFE BLOOD IN YOU. OMG U ROCK THOSE BEAUTIFUL BLADES AND I AM JEALOUS LOL OF ALL THE BAD ASS BEAUTIFUL BLADES U HAVE

[@vikingexpress2632]

You guys gotta stop with the benchmades....they expect you to shit on the second amendment and go full Scotland yard nothing but knives....quit patronizing them.

[@davedesdam7406]

Benchmade looks like Spyderco made a native 5 fixed blade

[@TEXASPATRIOT1776]

Benchmade! Your knives are not God Tier & IMO not worth what you’re asking. I also have to agree with Stassa. Your sheaths are garbage I wouldn’t gift them to my worst enemy. The knife/sheath mentioned in this video I might pay $229.99/$239.99, but with a fold over Kydex sheath. Only way I’d buy it right now is if it were about $100 less. -Thanks for the review Stassa! Dear KZbin Police, These are my opinions and opinions are like assholes. Everyone’s got one! Stay safe! ❤️🇺🇸👊🏼

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Which is funny because if they are successful with that, then the rest of the Bill of rights will fall and then knives will not exist.

[@tomcat8983]

That's why I don't like Benchmade, way too overpriced. A cheap plastic sheath!? Come on Benchmade, at least some kydex. You can get a $25 knife with kydex!

[@timb8970]

Yikes! $270 for that Benchmade? Prices are out of control.

[@michaelp.139]

What in the hell, Benchmade?!!

[@johnelsner3879]

Yes yes yes yes

[@jacobstout9769]

Not a fan of the blade on the Benchmade. I don't like how thin it looks but it is an EDC blade... Sheath looks pretty bad, pocket clip seems like it would be good though. Love the handle and hardware.

[@OriginalZo1]

How did slabs of steel become so expensive?

[@irbrad95]

440c steel for $120 im good. Lol same for the benchmade. I think they forgot your knives need to be premium quality if you're charging premium price. I'll be totally fine never owning a benchmade.

[@SuperrrJ78]

Godawful is a compliment for the benchmade sheath... artimus makes a way better version .

[@GasolineBoots]

Yeah benchmade screwed the pooch with that sheath

[@alexandregraulle607]

It's now exist as much fix blades as folfing ones ..! ^^

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I actually like that Benchmade but that sheath sucks, I’m sure it’s also $400.

[@pje6882]

my opinel #9 can do "most" of what these knives can do for $19 that benchmade price tag is just stupid

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

i cant call something an EDC fixed blade when it doesnt have a hand stop...i mean i know its unlikely youll need it...but in the very unfortunate event that YOU DO, it should be there. Half the point of EDC is having something there ALL the time in case you need it.

[@travisconrad5035]

Not a benchmade fan but that is an awesome knife and yeah the sheath is trash

[@emoboy5591]

you trying to sell that coyote..?

[@chrishenning8829]

Benchmade knife ehhh $150...add etched Butterfly logo +$120 = $270

[@adams97]

$200 for Nitro V 😱

[@alexandregraulle607]

But, even in USA, it's not easy to carry ..!

[@darinjenkins7954]

Makes me appreciate aliexpress.. everything here was overpriced.. ridiculous

[@jackberdine]

I have an $18 Milwaukee tradesman clip point with a better sheath than that benchmade... Sheer laziness on behalf of benchmade.

[@johnjohn8042]

Toooo little for a Texan but cool knives

[@Cracktower1]

Imagine actually shelling out $120 for 440c.... no thanks

[@alocasio5896]

$120 for 440 is not only absurd, but incredibly disrespectful. $25 knife at most.

[@michaelmerrick5472]

All too expensive and all have your front finger up against the steel. Uncomfortable.

[@okeydokey2766]

I think you’re all wrong about the Benchmade sheath. The size is incredible, truly ambidextrous, insanely low profile. This knife and sheath compete with way more expensive blades: Amtac Northman, Dynamis razorback, headhunter rat. I’m so sick of companies releasing pancake style kydex. Those are useless for anything other than carrying in a pack. Benchmade may need to tweak the retention/clip with this one. But good on them for actually stepping up the sheath game.

[@johnnyeas1431]

Benchmades are so ugly and outrageously expensive. The least they can do is make an attractive knife for the price they're asking for.

[@BrandonRead-tf1un]

That Benchmade is shit.

[@jordanmoir1076]

We do realize most of these materials aren't premium?kydek=arts and crafts.premium steels=basic tool steel.ultem=super cheap plastic only used as insulators.chinese alloys=pot metal.basic heat treatment=time is a luxury

[@informedcitizen8687]

Of course, the Benchmade is overpriced with a cheap crappy sheath...wouldn't expect any less

[@DimitrosSJ]

Benchmade: Blade design - check. ✔️ Blade steel - check ✔️ Sheath - WTF🤬🤬🤬 Price - beyond any scale.. Benchy, are you ok there?

[@paulrevere2928]

Stainless steel is the biggest waste of money anyone can ever spend on a tool that you will never be able to sharpen and it will spend most of its time in the kitchen drawer or in a Pawn Shop. Don’t believe me go look in a pawnshop right now I dare you.
