Another awesome video boys!!!!

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

Thank you Erica!

[@bobsloane684]

Good video. Can you discuss the Emerson/Benchmade collaboration next time?

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

An Emerson brand history would be awesome!

[@neko8715]

we want to see the rest Jamie's knife collection!!!

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

Now that's an idea!

[@NedKnives]

I read that Bob Terzuola taught Lester de Asis and Sal Glesser how to make linerlocks using a ball bearing detent

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

That's so cool!

[@nicoledodge7240]

Awesome history, I love Benchmade!!

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

I learned a lot!

[@Glocksmoke85]

Great video as always! People hate on benchmade but I absolutely love them. They’re what got me into really collecting and I’ve owned over 30+ benchmade’s. I own brands from CRK,hinderer,Medford,microtech,protech,spyderco,Spartan blades,shirogorov and of course benchmade. You can say the rabbit hole 🕳 is deep…so deep I can’t see light anymore. With that being said benchmade today will go toe to toe with any of those brands I just listed. I said what I said!

[@outsidersmv4867]

Same folks hating on the Benchmade horde the Chinesium blades from Civivi, etc. Benchmade, Spyderco and CReeve pioneered the market, innovate, make awesome product with great warranties and are the market standard, which set the pace and quality standard which others follow.

Thanks for the history lesson very interesting!!!! I hope to see you on Friday for the REC report!!!! Have a great week what’s left of it!!!

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

Thank you Henry!

@@riversedgecutlery4260 Seems like Riley is in trouble with his dad with the Friday knife trade and weekly carry of said knives and Mike isn’t that happy with the one he got I’m hoping he’ll take it easy on Riley because I know he didn’t want his dad to get that knife!!!! A little drama at the REC center this week with the knife week carry thing I’m sure all will be happy when they get their knives back at the end of the week!!!!

[@anthrogers]

Great video Evan… You are extremely knowledgeable and you have a wonderful demeanor on camera

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

Thanks Dad!

[@BumbleBeeedcYT]

I love this maker and production line! I've done some studying on it all myself, but you still manage to share new information with me! already can't wait for the next video. (and also for NOTYOURAVERAGEEDC to be regular in the vids!)

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

We're looking forward to it!

[@derekmoyer4807]

I absolutely love the video. I would really like to see more videos on the other knife company’s(spyderco, microtech, reate, Chris reeves, etc.)

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

Back in the beginning of my knife enthusiast journey the 20cv G10 Grip, was like a grail. The 550-1, and Bugout we're some of my first nice knives, and still in the collection. And can't forget LifeSharp, one of if not the best warranty in the business

[@jgranger2002]

What about it is the one of the best warranty? They will put a terrible edge on your knife for free. Taiwan cold steel knives come shaving sharp Benchmade doesn't come close.

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

@@jgranger2002 I've only had them sharpen once and mine came back shaving sharp, but I was talking about warranty not sharpening side of it. You snap the tip offa pm2 Spyderco says go kick some rocks there's nothing we can do for that Benchmade replaces the blade (for a small fee). BM used to send ya 2 pocket clips a year until people started abusing that. Benchmade will . literally replace any part you break on your knives for life, some with a small fee. But they've got your back and will get your knife back into your pocket.

The butterfly! What does it mean!?

[@riversedgecutlery4260]

Like Butterfly Knife!

[@notfixingit]

Someone might need to help that guy, REC always seems to make him shoot videos from what appears to be the inside of a storage container, hopefully they don't make him live in it too 🤣
