Best Pocket Cleaver Folding Knives of 2020 Available at KnifeCenter

[@benmerritt5641]

That CJRB Crag is as advertised. One of my favorite fidget cleavers. Doesn’t feel budget at all.

[@black79montecarlo123]

I've got the Gerber and the CJRB cleavers. Very impressed.

[@devilishirv]

i have the gerber flatiron as well & i just got me a Buck 252 truck nice small flipper

[@TopQ428]

This cleaver design is pretty amazing I've never seen it but I absolutely love my Kershaw Static it's compact tactical and light . Everything I want from a EDC pocket knife.

[@Isaac-yz4lb]

Does anyone else just like before you watch ? I just know I’m gonna enjoy this.

[@ryansimpson3074]

I love videos like this

[@lexan2002]

I love my crag. Ive modded it a little and its my go to most of the time now. I just hope theres some of those micarta ones left in February for my cake day

[@jkanecutlery]

It looks sweet

[@4581103992010]

So which one did you get

[@lexan2002]

@@4581103992010 I havnt gotten one yet. The crag was my edc for a while but now im carrying the opinel i recently modded

[@jeremyb0793]

My favorite cleaver is the Artisan Tomahawk. Sweet blade but I may pick up the Crag

[@saputro5384]

Kizer shapedog 👍👍

[@DinoNucci]

❤️ the cleaver blade shape, but don't like them with flipper tab because it sticks out past the blade edge. (Gerber & Spidey got it right imo)

[@BladeWalker77]

Sono d'accordo

[@EnjoythezenYT]

Had my flipper removed on my sheepdog and thumbstuds installed, went from meh to amazing.

[@DinoNucci]

@@EnjoythezenYT very cool idea! You have before after pics? Did you do it or someone else?

I know it would be impossible to have every one on the market reviewed, and as you say "some of your favourite".. I have a CRKT Ripsnort & absolutely love it. The sturdiest folder that I own, & it feels like it's unbreakable. (not trying to, got a cheap M-Tech belt knife if I want to pry something)

[@ryansimpson3074]

" Which one did you like " ? Me : Yes

[@pauls8620]

Artisan cutlery propenent vs kizer sheepdog xl?

[@AR15UserRev1]

Crag for the win, imho, affordable and nice linen micarta.

[@knifeaddict1014]

Yay another video to watch about knife, my wife Is literally about to kill me because of my addiction lol, I don’t understand how I came this far, ever since I bought my first 940 it all went down hill from there, well to her lol for me it’s been all up hill junkie edition 😂 newest one coming tomor from the knife center and I can’t wait!!!

[@knifecenter]

Someone should start a knife junkie support group lol!

[@knifeaddict1014]

KnifeCenter haha I love it!!!!

[@knifeaddict1014]

Can’t wait to get my Flytanium mini scales in been wanting an upgrade for some time now!!! Man is it just me or could it be that the bugout is like the knife for edc!! I love it so much I got 4 Of them, one is a knife center exclusive war battle scales I think it’s called,🤔 maybe I’m wrong I’m sure you will correct me! those scales are never coming off!!

[@knifeaddict1014]

KnifeCenter I know you do some bush crafting, what is your goto camp saw, I got the silky 170 it’s a 7 1/2 blade, I’m wanting something a little bigger. Think you could help a fellow knife junky 😎 out?

[@knifecenter]

Silky Bigboy 2000, end of discussion! kcoti.com/32YWnSD I never leave the beaten path without mine. Since you use a Silky, you know how fast-cutting they are. This one is the biggest you can get before making the jump to the Katanaboy series, but is still easy to fit into a pack. Re: Bugout - red Battlewash :) -DCA

[@cwalker228]

Great Video! I know it’s a couple years old but are there any new cleaver style blades that have a button lock besides the Sheepdog mini?

[@johnd48]

Mmmm... that exclusive might have me sold. Burlap micarta is my favorite scale

[@moodrow1234]

This video was so incredibly well done and to the point. Pros and cons and a great roundup.

[@PinkPummy]

Sadly no surprises in here, but all great choices! Never gonna say no to a sheepdog!

[@FredGreenGB]

Is there any cleaver non locking 3" blades available. I live in the uk where cutting your fingers off is ok as long as you meet the requirements. Just a nice small knife is fine . I will be cutting cigars with it in the main

[@bosse641]

Very nice that last one.

[@trubadyr99]

A clever type knife with a blade which is smaller than at least 3.80" just makes no sense to me. Liked the knives, their designs and steels, but boy, why so small: it's impractical! Isn't it? If only CIVIVI Bullmastiff or the CJRB Crag had a better and longer well heat-treated powder steel blade, or at least hardened to 61-63 D2, I could order such one for sure.

[@Greggsvlog]

Wow very cool knives... I'm going to buy three one for my self and two for the boys just got to figure out which ones. These are going to be Christmas presents.

[@knifeaddict1014]

These clevers look like some nice feather stick making tools it is that just me?? Has anyone tried it, I’m sure someone has, iv never owned a clever 🤔🤫

[@michaelmetler6315]

Berber Fastball cleaver?

[@glenngoins3100]

I like the Spyderco the best . Now open that phone service back up and I'll order one. The link you sent me doesn't work like iv tried to tell you. If you ever go back to work, let us know. I'm sure I'm not the only one that made orders by phone. I guess it's nice working from the house. I never did that. I was always at a factory making my living.

[@glenngoins3100]

@@knifecenter thank you so much!!!! I will be ordering this week, thank you!!!!!!!

[@TheGothicHangman]

Kizer Sheepdog XL is just amazing, perfect for a jean jack or leather jacket pocket. It's a ridiculous notion anyone would carry it in their jean pants pocket as EDC, that not to say it's not useful for everyday tasks. And the sound it makes flick it open is super satisfying even to non-knife enthusiasts. For someone that grew up in a big city it's a normal size knife, at the very least you can impress your friends cutting a slice of pizza in half like a champ.

[@darrelljames1178]

Was honestly never into Pocket cleaves until a few yrs ago....I finally got one The Kizer XL Sheepdog with Carbon fiber scales... is a BEAST!!! Best part ots 154CM and is pretty darn sharp out the box and it's surprisingly comfortable to carry great knife and all for only $99! It's Easily worth $299, other brands with the same materials would charge that or more!! They even have the smaller size for $70

[@Tomseenitall]

Crags are awesome, a great thick burly knife and the D2 is great. I bought the Micarta version and gave the G10 to my son. could be the best bang for the buck cleaver out there... but there is lot of good competition out there right now.

[@AdamasOldblade]

Got the Kizer Vanguard Sheepdog XL from KC last week... Man it is a total steal at $99, it is a BIG knife.

[@a.d.c7941]

Legal to carry?

[@atlantajunglepythons1744]

I just can't see gerber. I was given a small back-lock folder years ago, and while I've put a wicked edge on it many times, it just goes away. I wouldn't want to buy that, too many others to choose from. Picked up a Crag. AR-RPM9. Let's see how well the DLC holds up. Razory out of the box, takes a plain leather stropping pretty well, just having trouble with the lock - too low profile! Hard to do without shifting grips, and that ain't right! Can't hardly close it Left-handed...should be better. Maybe a CLI with lube will help - just wish there was an adjustment. Maybe I'll try a Sheepdog, looks good. Really want a 4.5" spearpoint for EDC, is that crazy?

[@mattconklin4026]

What about a 2022 video?

[@danielspencer582]

I got the 7cr flat iron and liked it, but when the D2 version showed up at my local store I grabbed it and carry it all the time. I just couldn't do the blue micarta and had to dye it black.

[@killanulli77]

Nice video and nice knifes, today i bought 3x böker magnum mortem for friend as christmas gift. That would be my favorite one, if its shown in this comparison. Price here in germany is about 27 euro, thats quite cheap for a böker knife 🙂.

I hate finger choils the stuff I cut seems to get caught in it.

[@zoe2446]

What I love about cleaver pocket knives is that they can give you a nice shave in a pinch

[@JackG79]

They are a PINCH to sharpen too!!

[@WanderingTetsubo]

They're basically heavy-duty straight razors. I'll never understand why they're called "Pocket cleavers" though.

[@Mr.Pennington]

I tested out the xl bullmastiff, just yesterday. Used it to prune raspberries. The edge geometry made for effortless, clean cuts even through the biggest, toughest canes. You would expect much more drag with a blade so thick, but its very "slicey". Action is excellent, The weight of the blade feels peculiar in a flipper but the detent' is perfect. Civivi breaks stereotypes about Chinese quality.

[@motaman8074]

And the winner is......Bullmastif! Yay

[@colinjohnson8511]

I got a Civivi mini Mastodon recently and i just love it

[@Alchemic11]

I've had my Kizer XL Sheepdog for over a year now and I love it. I was a bit apprehensive about dropping $100 on a Chinese knife but as soon as I got it in my hands, I knew it was money well spent. Fit and finish is truly impeccable. From the smooth flipping opening action to the satisfying sound that rings out when it locks into its open position, very impressive! I liked it so much I picked up a Sheepdog Mini for my son.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

This has to be one of the silliest pocketknife trends I’ve ever seen. What reasonable purpose could one of these serve that any other blade shape couldn’t serve better? I guess they’re cool to look at, and I’m sure a person could easily get by if that’s all they had, but I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m dumb, but I just can’t imagine a truly good use for one.

[@madbug1965]

I agree. They look like a big box cutter. I don't understand the attraction. Knives are better.

[@oldman_eleven]

I look at It kind of like carrying a chef knife with you 😃you could prepare a mean meal with that. Some would even suit a rocking slicing motion very well. And of course it just looks bad ass 😆

[@davidvermont]

IMO, Great for breaking down cardboard.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

@@oldman_eleven Most have WAY too straight an edge (no belly) for food prep, this one sorta not included. Way less blade for sliced produce, etc. to stick to with a more useful blade shape, though, and as an AVID outdoorsman, I can confidently say that VERY few campers are cutting up their food with a pocketknife (except MAYBE wild game, which is once again FAR more easily processed with a more traditional shaped blade).

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

@@davidvermont Anything with a good edge (beyond maybe a fillet knife or something) is great for breaking down cardboard. I can break down the 4’ x 4’ x 4’ x 3/8” thick shipping cartons for the polyethylene pellets made at the plant at which I work these days into 5 individual hunks in a matter of seconds with my Mini Bugout. Not only is a Mini Bugout a sub-par knife for the task (my S110V Para 3 unfortunately won’t fit in the pocket I need it to for work purposes), and not only does virtually no one have to break down THAT serious a flavor of cardboard often (I think these things are over two ton when full, it’s stout stuff), and not only does it kill a normal boxcutter blade like every third box, but my knife can be reasonably used for things that AREN’T cardboard. Maybe if the majority of my job was breaking down cardboard (it isn’t, as an IBEW journeyman electrician, I mostly just do it to make hunks of cardboard to soften edges, protect energized parts from metal shavings, help me design various plates, brackets, etc.), which almost no one’s is, they MIGHT make a LITTLE sense. Breaking down cardboard seems to be a ‘thing’ only in the knife review world, 90+% of cardboard cartons are easily ripped to shreds by hand and/or will readily fold flat with almost no effort. NEXT…

[@mattconklin4026]

For a gift I just ordered a Buck Trunk. My brother doesn't care to much for a pocket knife but I've been working at him, so for his job promotion I wanted to get him a knife, he picked out the trunk 🤷🏼‍♂️ this video is helping me order a clever for my rotation now 😂 that crag is nice.

$193 for VG10! Are they freaking kidding! For that much they should have at least used S35VN or S30V.

I dig that Gerber Asada, I’m gonna have to pick that up in red. It was great to see David C. Anderson included the Kershaw Static. I recently purchased in copper D2. Check it out! I love the Static. Pocket carry gem.

I like the Crag, but it looks like there's a piece missing on the opposite side of the pocket clip. It would be nice if they had a blank plate to go in there for a cleaner look.

That's definitely something that should be offered for the Crag.

Carlos Tovar you mean they’re deceiving us about the steel itself, or is it just an issue of heat treatment?

[@carlostovar8585]

Artem Kalugin idk. I just saw mostly bad comments on it from people who bought it. They’re saying it breaks like glass. I actually bought the last two knives he showed here (CRAB and Bullmastiff). But I thought about the gerber first, until i saw the comments
