[@TalonSei]

For the record... the tenacious was my first choice but that was already on your list 😂

[@BestDamnEDC]

lmao That is true. I forgot about that.

[@TalonSei]

Let’s do unlimited budget next time and I’ll pick something you’ll love 😉👍🏻

[@BestDamnEDC]

Talon Sei haha. Are you paying?

[@BladeHQ]

Sounds like you need an Elementum😉😁 -Zac

[@loganhernandez6117]

What are the thoughts on the SOG terminus xr? I feel like it doesn’t get enough love. It’s a really great knife! You can get it for around the $50 range and kinda resembles the bug out.

[@BladeHQ]

Glad you love that Elementum as much as I did😁. Got the winner in my pocket right now! -Zac

[@khagen78]

I picked up an Elementum with the ebony wood scales. Best EDC knife I've ever had.

[@jeremysolano9508]

We need that in left hand carry.

[@jacoblove336]

Blade HQ what is the difference between the elementum and the backlash?

[@northernninety7]

I just ordered the ebony wood version.

[@Stephen_T_Stephan]

But the Elementum IS over $50.

[@dybnnabayoma]

1. Elementum 2. Tenacious 3. Rat 2 4. Natrix Copper 5. Cutjack 6. Cryo 2 7. Strike

[@filipstrycek8543]

agree :D

[@alexj42]

Great list. I own some of these knives. The tenacious, rat 1 and 2, boker strike and civivi elementum. They are all great but my favorite sub $50 EDC is hands down the Kershaw skyline. Great steel, great handle and ergo's (4 finger). Rides in the pocket like it's not there and they are extremely well built and robust for their danty stature. Also the blade is amazing. The thinness and shape of the blade lend to phenomenal cutting. It isn't a heavy duty folder that typically isn't what a folding knife is used for. After carrying a skyline for years not even the elementum has dethroned it yet. Yet. I do love the little bugger.

[@cainelittrell3335]

As a Civivi Praxis owner, it’s got everything you mentioned plus a little more size like you were looking for. I was a long time Kershaw carrier but felt this was a huge upgrade from anything I’ve ever owned.

[@xavierdesmarais3118]

Solid list, but I would like to say that I’ve been carrying a kershaw kryo 1 pretty consistently for around 3 years and I have never had any problems with the frame lock sticking. The lock has sincerely impressed me and is definitely one of the best that I’ve seen in this price range (personally). As far as it not opening completely using the spring assit, it does happen, but as long as you keep it clean you shouldn’t have any problems. I agree that is is a heavy knife, but I did get the the smaller version due to that fact and I think that pretty much solves that problem if you don’t mind a smaller knife. Anyway, just wanted to give my opinion on it for anyone looking into buying the knife.

[@ivanbliminse5350]

I'm carried a median (the og) for 4 or 5 years and tbe lock has stuck one time

[@NeevesKnives]

Elementum is the best one on that list imo, we did a review againts the civivi durrus and it definitely has taken up some of other knives pocket time

[@ShaneMoff69]

I currently carry a durus, where can l find a copy of your review of the Elementum v Durus?

[@NeevesKnives]

@@ShaneMoff69 i think it might be in our knife vs knife play list or its just in our video list

[@ixiknivesixi1058]

Love my CutJack mini. I’ve beat the hell out of my knife and it’s still perfect. No blade play. Perfectly centered. Action is still great. D2 is a joy to sharpen. Just have to keep her clean because of the susceptibility to rust. Other than that it’s the perfect knife at the price point.

[@AJvsEverything]

I'm blown away that I inadvertently own 5 out of 7 of these knives, and the Cold Steel is in my Blade HQ wish list...it kind of makes me feel better knowing I bought knives that have a big enough following to have made people's top 7 list...and I also don't feel so weird about how much I love my customized Tenacious...

[@beyproctor7673]

I rate the Elementum highest on the list. I carried the Rat2D2 for several months and liked it (medium hand size). However when I disassembled it for cleaning, I found the liner was already rusting under the scales! Replaced it with the Elementum (stainless liner) and love it more.

[@doctorneilpatel]

Great review Taylor! I got the copper natrix a couple of weeks ago and have loved it. Goes great in my boulder wallet as part of my copper carry. Also finally got my hands on an elementum from blade hq 2 weeks ago...everyone needs one of these.

[@TheMuffs2004]

This was the perfect video for me. My M16 is getting close to retirement and as good as it has been for the last 4ish years I’m one of those people who always likes to try something new.

[@anapolloguize8294]

I picked up a Kershaw "oso sweet" in like 2010 or something.... still on my jeans, brilliant little tool and maintains really easily. Been looking for ideas on an upgrade so thankyou for making this video.

[@busbystandup1337]

This video sold me on the Elementum... had it 2 weeks and I liked it so much I came back to buy another of his suggestions, the list, the Rat 1... and now I'm back to buy another, the CutJack. My point is this dude really knows knives and his suggestions are a great way to build your collection

[@smdursoii]

Tenacious is my consistent work edc knife and its perfect for every task I set it to. A Cryo is ALWAYS in my back pocket, no matter what occasion or what other knives I'm carrying. My Cryo is a beater, and it shows...but for the many months I've beat on it I've Never had a misfire.😑

[@SuperDuty23XL]

Just bought my second RAT 2, brown, coated blade. Really like it for EDC.

[@Z0MBM0Z]

I'm definitely enjoying the reviews. I can tell you've spent time with them and thought about the different factors of a good EDC. I'm not as versed in the knife world, though I have a deep love for knives, swords and such. I will have to put a couple of these on my list to try out. Never owned a Spyderco, interested in the spidey flick. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@johnwest4492]

I agree the Cutjack rocks one of my absolute favorites: ))

[@stevenglenn9926]

The Boker Strike is my number one pick. One for me another for a gift. Great price, you can reverse the clip if you like. T8 star are the screws that are used. The main screw for the spring can be adjusted for a snappier or slower opening if you like. If you slow it down a bit, it is perfectly quiet, so if you need to pull it while on a tree stand or just need a quiet opening, you can do that. Stone washed blade is nice, Steel liner is a great addition, that yields a lot of strength to this knife. They could have left them out and just used the aluminum, but they did not. This is a great solid knife. It is not a hammer, it is not a pry bar and like any tool, if you use it for the wrong thing you can over stress it and damage it. If you use it as a solid tactical/bugout bag or EDC it will serve you for 10 years easily. I have had a number of Boker knifes like the SpeedII and the AK74 and this is by far the best of them I have owned so far. Those others I have had for years, and they have yet to fail me. I have heard some reviews that the jimping is overly done, but that is crap. I can solidly grip this knife with my thumb solidly on the jimping and it is not at all uncomfortable. Pussies. The blade out of the box is sharp, but you can easily take the edge to as sharp as a straight razor and mine is that way. Wicked Sharp. Now the blade looks like a sabre grind which I prefer over flat or others. The drop point, clip point blade gives it lots of strength. The only thing that would improve this automatic I can see are two things. High Carbon steel so you don't have to sharpen it as often, although for the price AUS-8 is not bad and as I said it will take an Edge pretty fast. 5 minutes with some carbide and ceramic and you can shave with it. The other thing, is a free 6 pack. Ok, so technically one thing. BUT, you wouldn't get it for the outstanding price if they used 1060. I got a deal on two for $79 bucks. Sign me up for that deal anytime, anywhere. I would pay $60 or a little more for this knife with no regrets, so if you want a solid Automatic that won't let you down or break the budget, stop screwing around and wondering if you should get one. Get IT!! SMKW will set you up and you will not be disappointed.

[@DOHCTerrel]

here from the future...just got the elementum 2 (button lock) for fathers day...LOVE IT

[@VisionWords]

Fun video, definitely worth the wait even though the outcome wasn't much of a surprise. Another great budget knife to check out is the SOG Terminus XR with G10 scales. It's technically a little above $50, but I snagged one on black Friday for under $45. The XR locking system is great; I would say even better than the axis lock it's based on. It has great flipping action and D2 steel. I'd highly recommend it.

[@MassaKingWOfficial]

Got the Civivi Elementum, at first I thought that the design was too plain, but after searching for other knife and looking at it more properly. You're right, in that price range that's the best knife. My first knife btw.

[@tracecify]

Finally!!!!! You been holding out on us Taylor! I've been trying to be patient, but gawdamn it was hard to wait!

[@tillvalhalla9176]

Awesome video! I own an elementum with the ebony scales and I absolutely love it.

[@RedwolfEDC]

Great video brother. Also you just hit 100k and you are already at 111k, eleven thousand new subscribers is insane brother congrats.

[@johnwest6414]

Hey Taylor, I think you nailed it. I'm looking forward to the S35VN version of the Elementum, and its under 90.00 thats gonna be at the top of my list hands down. Keep up the great job.

[@draftierinfern0831]

I have been waiting for this!! Clicked off one of your other vids to see this

[@user-cn8sn7ld1j]

Exactly

[@lemmyjoker3678]

Great vid. I was going to get the elementum for my first non multi tool knife but ended up spending a bit more and try the Civivi conspirator. I am loving it

[@danielho5635]

Civivi Elementum -- definitely the best. I have it in ebony and it's definitely a cut above -- action, qc, gentlemanly style, etc. Having used most of the knives you mention on the list, I agree wholeheartedly with you. I personally think that the OKC RAT 2 D2, if redesigned to be a budget flipper like the Elementum would be an absolute game-changing knife. Quality budget manual flipper knives are scarce.

[@desertratedc9596]

I feel you completely on the RAT 1 vs 2. I love my RAT 1 and have it in rotation with some heavy hitters like my benchmade 940, Buck 110 slim pro and a cheap oddball SOG Fielder.

[@labodaleatherlabodaleather5734]

Great knife video. But I love your watch. I found Bertucci a few months ago. Since then, my son took my first A-2T that I bought from Bertucci as a "certified pre-owned" watch. I just bought a new A-2T from again direct from Bertucci. Their watches are great and customer service is tops. Thanks again.

[@ShaneMoff69]

Thanks for the info, l will be subscribing now that l have found your channel. I have 2 of the Civivi's, Praxis dam, and the Durus, which is one of my daily beaters, along with my Tenacious, which l only got this week and already love it, but still prefer my Durus for work duties.

[@dannybeggs2358]

My very first EDC knife just arrived yesterday and it's on your list... Ontario Rat 2 D2, green scales, black blade 😍 absolutely love it

[@calebg7682]

I've not used the Elementum, but my two favorites are the CIVIVI Praxis and the Steel Will Cutjack. Good list!

[@ShaneMoff69]

Love my Praxis in Damascus pattern.

[@pawelkapica5363]

I've got the Boker and its a great quality knife, also it came with life warranty which I didn't expect at this price point. It feels super sturdy and the spring is very strong. I hope it will last me many years

[@nunayoorbidnez2119]

You can't beat the value and quality of the RAT-2 in d2. The Cutjack mini in d2 is great too. If you can get d2 at this price point, you've got a great knife. The Civivi Hooligan (d2) belonged on the list.

[@ffotograffydd]

The Rat I and Rat II are my favourites, especially now Flytanium make scales for them. I know that takes them out of the budget range, but I think the D2 versions are worth more than they cost anyway. I agree about the Rat I being easier to use though, and I have small (female) hands.

[@edclevel402]

Great call - the Elementum is a *fantastic* EDC option IMO.

[@johnl.8616]

Nice job. I carry the Cryo II. My reason is that it is very thin and very smooth and won't tear up my pant over time. I do wish they made a D2 blade version of that Cryo II. Other that that I have carried it over a year and the knife stayed solid and no issues. Flips open perfectly every time.

[@michaeloshea5315]

Your list was well done. I carry the the D2 Boker auto stryke. Because of the work I do I can carry this knife. It’s tough, Deploys quickly with a snap and I beat the heck out it. It’s a little worn but for a little over $50. It’s a very knife for hard use. The civivi elementum is an outstanding knife and I carry that on days off. I have the larger natrix and it’s a very good knife. The Tenacious is very and I do have it in my carry rotation but I believe it is a bit over priced. Stay safe and thank you for a good post. Mike

[@CryptidHunter_official]

I've has the cryo 2 for a long time and it's still one of my favorite ones. It's a bit heavy but not bad at all, it can get super sharp too.

[@abennett2783]

I’ve been carrying the CRKT Ignitor for more than a decade. It’s my second one (first one was surrendered to TSA because I forgot to check it in my luggage). I’m a collector, and have LOTS of knives., and I play in the woods often. My second favorite is my Spiderco Endura in ZPD-189.

[@Austinmitchell19xx]

I really like most of the knives on your list i think you picked some good ones! I plan on asking santa for a fully serrated tenacious and to throw on some copper scales from flytanium 😎

[@roningraves6563]

Great video as always man . I prefer the Byrd Raven2 in BD1 over the Tenacious. Just think it's a better value. Also, the Ruike P801 would hold it's own on this type of list. But great job man. 👍🏻

[@natewilder1868]

Have been waiting on this one always enjoy a knife video. I love my R2D2 but would like to get a hold of the elementum or natrix to see how they stack up.

[@troycummings5083]

Well said. Very nice topic. Budget knives are a good topic. We all need something that we just don’t mind dinging or scratching.

[@legionsteelknives]

loved the vid!! thank you Subbed!!!!!

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

I do love my CIVIVI Badlands Vagabond. The Boker Strike is a fav also.. The pocket EDC knife I carry the most is my Kizer Begleiter in OD Green. All my knives are in OD Green besides the Boker Strike.. Great list!!

[@inactive7251]

Glad I found this video, thanks!

[@jerryrobinson8510]

I have several civivi knives. By far my favorite. You nailed it.You get a lot for the money.

[@931monstertn]

Unlimited budget video incoming...

[@northtexasskies3243]

My Tenacious from Blade HQ just showed up today. Im very happy with it. Its my first EDC

[@macstmanj3]

Honestly, with the exception of S30V, 8Cr13MoV is my favorite steel. I just got a Spyderco Dragonfly, so VG-10 might be jump it. But I prefer 8Cr over 14N28 or whatever is in the skyline. It seems to take a ridiculous edge and sharpening once a week is something I'm fine with

[@CytoplasmicGoo]

I totally agree with you regarding assisted opening knives. Most knife people can flick knives open just as fast and close them even faster because there’s no spring. Also, companies limit their sales as they are definitely illegal in many states, mine included.

[@warpedone2]

Thanks for filming

[@IlliniDog01]

The Elementum would be the winner for me as well. Fantastic Knife. I rounded the edge by the choil so it doesn't bite me. The only knife I own that gets more pocket time is the Spydie-Smock, but I had to customize it a bit to get it right (rounded it's choil edge as well, switched in deep-carry clip, removed the 2nd detent ball, sanded all of the sharpish edged).

[@ShadowWarrior82]

I have four of the knives. I carry my strike (d2 steel) more than any. I love my tenacious but wish they would at least have a D2 steel option. Spyderco could easily produce them at the same price point and would sell tons. Look forward to your posts!

[@JohnDoe-ud2cc]

I have been carrying a Kershaw blur for 15 years. I absolutely love them and trust them. I don’t know why it is never mentioned in knife reviews.

[@johnruiz6743]

Some are biased against assisted opening knives. I like the Speed-Safe system on the Blur. Sometimes the assisted opening comes in handy.

[@kintrap5376]

I have 3 cryos. One was smooth and buttery out of the box, the other two took a heck of a lot of breaking in, but once they were, they perform amazingly, with 0 of the issues mentioned beside the weight (which I like anyhow)

[@jeremybenson286]

Great video and great content!

[@RaymondRios]

I have two knives out of your line up. Great video keep them coming. I might look into the cutjack and the civivi. Thanks.

[@alexdowns4783]

I’ve been daily carrying my cyro for about a year and a halfish and god I love it. Bought it 100% because I liked the looks and I love kershaws because they’re cheap and true and I fell in love with it

[@tobparker]

Agreed. my Cryo is in my pocket more often than any of my others.

[@brianshapley8092]

Just found this. I am waiting patiently (absolute lie!) on an Elementum, dark green micarta now. So glad to see I made a good decision. I have truely been enjoying my all-stainless CRKT Pilar ($29) for EDC, and picked up a Kershaw Spline, which I do not love the look of, purely because of the HQ discontinued price drop to $19. It has sat on my desk for fidget flipping. The constant, needed honing on my Pilar, due to that cheap steel is annoying, no matter how much I love the knife, so looking forward to my first D2. Thanks for this vid!

[@darkdragon1194]

Perfect timing!

[@tommyvangrinsven9404]

I FREAKIN love your videos

[@justinnentwich2779]

Civil Elimental never would have seen it. Thanks for showing it I think I might buy that as my first D2 blade knife.

[@user-dt9lm7vk2m]

I personally would recommend CRKT Squid XM if you can find one under 50$, I got mine from Knife Center for $47. It's sturdy, durable, easy to operate and the design for me is just timeless and sleek!

[@harpomarx7777]

The Elementum rocks. You will have to center the blade, which is quite easy to do; otherwise, the ball bearings are silky smooth and lockup is very solid with a satisfying click. You will find yourself playing with it a lot, which will only make it smoother. My only complaint: I've dropped the knife twice and, both times, the blade popped out of frame to about 90 degrees. Probably not an issue unless you're on a scaffold with people beneath you. Quality of build is evident when you first hold it and the hollow grind cuts like a scalpel. Super gift idea for any man ... and an intriguing gift for a woman, most of whom have never owned a pocket knife but would enjoy finally getting one.

[@davidthomas8810]

Have the elementum one of my favorites

[@austinphoenix574]

Great picks. Tenacious, Strike and Elementum are top 3 for me.

[@epicdillweed]

I had my edc on me once tip up (tip up style clip) while throwing knives. I had just sharpened it and when I was throwing my knife opened and my wrist went across the whole length of the 4.5" blade on the follow thru. Lost a lot of blood and have a wicked scar now. Just remember people sometimes locks on knives fail, and usually its at the worst times.

[@ogbasshead150]

Ran across this video today and watched. I totally agree with the Civivi Elementum being the best of the video. My opinion, I have and like the Civivi Little Fiend a little better than the Elementum. Now, my favorite knife in this price range and my go to knife pretty much every day, although t's not under $50, for just $5 more, the SOG Terminous XR is a excellent knife. That XR lock is very nice, fun, and very fidgety. I have crimson red g10 scales with stonewashed d2 blade very nice.

[@gordongregory9659]

Outstanding, thank you.

[@95666]

Saw you on a Blade HQ video so i came and subscribed, i like your videos!

[@dag221]

I picked up the Elementum after watching a couple of different reviews on KZbin. It's my first real 'quality' knife and I do like everything about it except I wish the handle had a little more texture to it so it would be easier to grip. I just it's rather slick to my touch. I've only had it a few hours but I'm already planning to address the slick handle tomorrow with the addition of some sandpaper to it. Unless I can rough it up with a Dremel tool or something. Probably sounds criminal to do that to a knife but it's got to feel good in the hand. Thanks for the great videos.

[@shaunculwell1989]

My carry is a skif sturdy it's a rather bulky knife, frame lock very strong knife and I chose it for the blade size being larger but I love skif knives cheaper steel but the sturdy is like $30 I think and I love it! All they're folders are very reasonable and hold a great edge

[@maurolorenzotongco5521]

I would've added the Kershaw Skyline and Cold Steel Prolite but the people have spoken :) nice vid man, great way to take a short break at work 😁

[@russcagle6965]

My Cryo has been fantastic. No opening or unlocking fails. Just got the SOG Terminus XR. Love it so far. My Elementum is still on back order... Waiting is killing me. Lol. Nic vid!

[@tonyromano4341]

Great Vid, just used your recommendation to purchase an Elementum for EDC.

[@jonathanteague284]

Great video! I’ll take any of them for Christmas 😆

[@patrickhasachannel]

my go-to nowadays is the Spyderco Chicago. the reason is obvious; "What's in a Name?" but to your point, assisted/flipper blades often exist in a gray area. I was even reprimanded at work once for having a Kershaw Spoke

[@alexgaca248]

Just got my Strike in D2 for $50. Absolutely love it.

[@danielho5635]

I own all those knives except for the Spyderco Tenacious. I agree with most of your comments and would like to add. 1. The Boker Strike has better ergos than the Kalashnikov and I prefer it. 2. The Kershaw Natrix copper -- I hate the smell of copper on my hands. 3. The Kershaw Cryo/Cryo 2 are nice. However, I prefer the Kershaw Eris which looks better and has all of the features of the Cryo. 4. Whenever possible, I prefer the D2 variant of the knife: i.e. Boker Strike, Boker Kalashnikov, Ontario RAT, etc.

[@daysofnoah1748]

I am with you 100% on the Rat 2 being too small. I really like the Rat 1 for its size, and price. A lot of value for the money.

[@kaiden3539]

Love ur vids

[@russhood6747]

I agree with the Civivi Elementum is a Great EDC but a little short for a big hand. So, I took the Civivi Shredder beautiful blade and the 2 best things about Civivi is the detent and they leave the blade without a billboard on the side. i.e. the action is pretty sweet as well!

[@connerwhite7743]

If you are interested in a slightly larger elementum you may like the WE practic. The action is lesser but it is still pretty nice. Thanks for the video.

[@bravo6601]

Just ordered the boker because of the one I saw in this video an if it wasn’t for the color scheme I probably wouldn’t have really payed any attention to it … I got the 2.6” /d2 blade for an edc an I can’t wait for it to get here ! Great video bub!

[@tylerroerick6357]

CiviVi was my first choice for sub 50 as well. I don’t own an Elementum, but I love my Pletheros, but I also love my copper Natrix, so now I’m torn lol

[@elizabethrobichaud156]

I personally own 2 cryo 2s. my first one i've had for so long the spring actually gave out. I have that one still and it functions well just with no assisted opening. my newer one is solid. my favorite part of this knife is two fold- the thinness of the knife and the width of the handle. I have fairly big paws but this knife sits well in my hand and carry well too. i've had other knives but so far this is my favorite.

[@The_Mediocre_Mechanic]

I know this comment is a year old, but if you email kershaw and ask for a new torsion spring they'll send you a baggy with 1 or 2 in it. I've had two break, one in a leek and one in a blur.

[@UrbanWoodsman87]

I would love to see the Cutjack with other scale material. AKA- put Micarta on it and I will buy one!

[@SaintlySaavy]

That Kershaw Natrix is beautiful! Copper variant with stone wash. 🤙🏽

[@MandoOutdoors]

Holy crap! From Phone Dog to EDC Gear? Wow! I'm fuggin' mind blown! haha! Props Taylor!

[@chaddamron3877]

100% agree have the backlash when they first came out action is ON POINT 👍

[@barnypt1]

The Elementum and Cut Jack r incredible!!

[@_MikeJon_]

I got the cryo2. Great knife. Carry it at all times.

[@jeffsloane8628]

1) Civivi Elementum - Beautiful flipper with D2 and available micarta scales makes this a no brainer. So choice! 2) Firebird by Ganzo FH71-BK - D2 and G10 ball bearing flipper for less than $30! It is a disservice to this community to not include these knives. 3) Honey Badger D2 in Small - Another knife that should be in all these lists. It is similar to the Steel Will and comes in a variety of sizes, colors, blade steels, and shapes. My favorite flipper, but I don't own an Elementum yet. 4) Steel Will Cutjack - Much better looking than the RAT II. For my money, I'd still take a Honey Badger if for nothing other than its deep carry clip. 5) Boker Strike - Such a nice auto. This is the lowest knife in the list that I actually like and would spend my money to own. 6) Spyderco Tenacious - Old standby, but the blade steel should be better for that price. It could also be better looking. Also, their clip is not deep pocket enough for me. 7) Kershaw Natrix - Not for me, but cool. Personally, I'm not a fan of frame locks. 8) Ontario RAT II - Sure the price is great, but both the blade and handle are unattractive. 9) Kershaw Cryo II - Maybe not too big, but way too heavy. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and for making them such a pleasure to watch. Thumbs up.

[@rickyhurtt8692]

Also the buck 780.ive carried it a lot. It has the ripoff spidey hole which I love. It has a great blade shape for cutting edge and grippy rubber scales. I think it's aus8 but wouldn't swear to it. Didn't think to Google that before starting text. Thanks

I only own a copper Natrix so my opinion doesn’t really count but I have to root for it ... it is a manageable size, D2 blade and copper scales ... Great Video!

Just bought a steel will cut jack off Amazon for $38, thanks for the video!
