Big Knife Collection: Featuring Spyderco, Benchmade, Buck, Chris Reeve Folding Knives! | 555 Gear

[@theplasticdesert2408]

You like Seiko, Hamilton and knives... on a completely unrelated topic I’m available for adoption.

[@l75rd83]

I inherited a Victorinox from my grandad. My grandad also had a buck 110 for years and years and he carried it everywhere. Such an awesome knife

[@adukke]

I started collecting knives around 2 years ago after I purchased a couple of folding knives to have around in my SUV as practical tool and around the house. Then I started to get introduced to the world of knifes folding and fixed, and was surprised to see that there is such a huge following by enthusiasts and avid knife collectors. As I got more knowledge, and got more attracted to get more knives all of a sudden I found my self some months later having close to 20 knives, and now actually 80+, and the collection keeps on growing. I also noticed that my taste started to change from more tactical to EDC style and then more stylish, gentleman type of knife up to traditional slip joint or lock backs from GEC or Case among others. I even started to register all the knives inventory i have into an excel spreadsheet with the specs, make and model of the knife plus how much I paid for it either from buying it new or second hand from ebay, which is also useful to track up how much I have spent in total in the collection. I also have the same storage drawer set displayed in this video which is a good fit for this type of application for knife storage (as long they are not to bulky) since the drawers are not too deep themselves. I am actually about to upgrade to a Gerstner Drawer Chest (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076H7WGWG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A47JLXWXVLQCW&psc=1) which is a more costly storage option but definitely more appropriate if you want a hold a large knife collection plus place other smaller EDC items such as flashlights, multitools, watches, pens, etc.

Nice collection man, thanks for sharing!

[@mikemantho9426]

Great review of your collection, very helpful information. Thank you ! I think it’s really cool that you are giving knives to your kids.

[@lefthandedknifeguy6437]

Great video I think you have a spectacular collection and I'm glad to see traditionals In the collection

[@555Gear]

Thanks for watching

[@bobbyhightower2380]

At the start of this year I got my first well paying job. With my first paycheck I bought a 940-1 and it was my first knife I owned that wasn’t passed down to me!

[@brendan2359]

I've only watched the first 5min so far and already.. wow that's a nice collection. And heaps of info

[@555Gear]

Thanks for watching! Cheers, Andrew

[@lucacadianalbert]

that Buck 110 from your dad is so rad. I have the same one that was also given to me by my dad. Sick!!

[@555Gear]

Right on!

[@StefaanVdV1961]

what an impressive collection, as a European I miss a few big brands that can't be missed here, to name a few: Falkniven, Robert Klaas, Laguiole, Fontenille Pataud. Great informative video, thanks for sharing 👍

[@555Gear]

Need more European brands! Thanks for the recommendation 👍

The Remington trapper was made by Camillus. The circle tang stamp (as shown) is what they used and - more tellingly- it's one of the pinless faux-stag Delrin models. Camillus's toolkit for the Delrin covers was very sophisticated, proven by these covers routinely still holding strong, very little warping and such. Also they managed to actually make the faux- stag and bone *not* look awful, something which others (e.g. Kabar) often struggled with. Those Camillus Remingtons from like the 60s, 70s, 80s are nowadays IMO totally worth what one would pay for them now.

[@AlbertoVO5]

MJFallout thanks for this detail. I have a single blade Camillus knife that's very similar with the Delrin scales. From about '68 or thereabouts. Weighty and built like a tank - zero warp. A testament to the bygone days of American manufacturing. Even after 50 years it closes with a solid snap. I love this knife.

[@nerv5th]

Can I get the link to the wooden knife box?

[@karimeldadah4291]

I think the wooden “knife” box is supposed to be for cutlery.

[@ericmack001]

You have an awesome collection. You deserve to protect your collection better. They would be better protected in a 1540 Pelican case. Thank you for your time

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

Very nice setup. I see my knife made the cut! Glad you really liked it!

[@555Gear]

Thanks! Sorry, which knife was yours? Cheers, Andrew

[@bruzzerman]

the Adamas was my first nice folding knife and i still love it today

[@justinbelcher3679]

I loved all of your stories with regards to your knives. My favorite is the fact that your share your passion for knife collecting with your son's. Very cool video. First time subscriber. Thanks a lot

[@biggpoppa8573]

A bro just started watching your videos, but I wanted to answer your question, My grandfather gave me my knife it was a Case ××, and I still have it , and it means so much more sense he passed away, and my favorite is a tie between the pilar, or the min grip with the spide hole

[@MultiMedia020]

I just love the way you gift your knives to your kids my dad gifted me a knife too and its really special to me Keep up the great work👍

[@tomerasado8558]

Great vid pal!!! I liked the opinel,man. Really..ordered one (:

[@floorguys0150]

Microtech Socom Elite in M390 gets most of my pocket time 🤘🏼

[@555Gear]

Beast mode 💪

[@ArkansasPublicHunts]

My favorite knife is my benchmade mini grip 556-1! It has a fun story behind it. I went into academy to look at their selection. They have a limited number of knives but I had already done my research and I knew they had a few nice knives. As I approached the case I saw a 556 gen 1. I noticed it was priced at $89.99. A fair price. I proceeded to check out a few more knives but I knew I was going to pull the trigger on the 556. After looking at a few knives I had the clerk take the 556 mini grip out of the case and walk it up front so I could check out. We got to the register and she passed the knife off to the girl that was going to check me out. She rang up the knife and told me the price was $198. I was surprised and politely notified her that in the case, the knife was advertised at $89.99. She hesitated but then (after getting confirmation from the girl who initially showed me the knife) changed the price to $89.99. I honestly didn’t think anything of it. I thought they just got the price wrong... until I got home. I sat down on the couch when I got home to inspect my new baby! I was so excited but I was much more excited when I noticed why the knife rang up at $198! They had accidentally given me a 556-1 with the 20CV blade steel and G-10 scales! I couldn’t believe it! I got a $190 knife for $90 dollars! That makes the benchmade mini griptilian 556 (-1) my favorite knife to date! A close second is my benchmade 940 Osborne because it’s just a sexy knife!

[@ArkansasPublicHunts]

Also my favorite knife of yours is the spyderco techno! It’s such a cool little knife! Great for edc and great materials! It’s so different from the rest of the spyderco lineup! I’m looking into buying one after seeing your video! Thanks for a fun video to watch while at work! Good luck with your collection in the future!

[@555Gear]

You scored big time!!

[@Tiger24kicks]

Just started my collection so far I have 3 knives your collection is beautiful.

[@CarlMurawski]

Great collection! I dig that Fox knife, it looks amazing,

[@555Gear]

Thanks for tuning in Carl. Cheers, Andrew

[@thomasroberts4261]

My favorite knives that I own are my spyderco vrango and my spyderench.

[@Matt61702]

Nice video, but man... those focus issues are killing me.

[@IdaReggaeMon]

Yeah, a videography train wreck. Too bad because otherwise interesting.

[@normandegeorge6526]

Nice collection! I like the wooden box too!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Very very mature video....... Not only that it shows in your taste of knives....... Wow today I can't find a knife reviewer that's on my page....... Everything is WE knives nobody is into taaditional knives........ I'm just very disappointed in the knife community........ But I can't thank you enough for the great great video........ And you and I are definitely on the same page in knife taste........ Thanks again and would be great if you made more videos because a lot of people look for people like you!!!!!!!

[@veeDubbinit2]

Checkout the new M390 Manix 2. I prefer it over the legendary PM2. Thinner blade, better ergos, better action. IMHO. Great vid.

[@13Hangfire]

*Spyderco Delica (Blue handle) ZDP-189* (First time I saw it was right here on 555 Gear!)

[@555Gear]

Now that is an old video!

[@TheStonesvids]

Nice collection 👍🏻

[@Armitage001]

Thanks for sharing your collection. Great to hear the thoughts and insights of someone who has been collecting for a while and thinks critically anout gear.

[@555Gear]

Thanks for watching! Cheers, Andrew

[@carsonwilliams629]

The Adamas tho 🔥👍🏼

[@wretchpin]

I'm in the market for hat thicc ass adamas..! Last year i picked up the fixed blade version in black for $70 at my local pawn shop, and I felt like I was ripping them off! Not very practical in either version for me, considering I don't hunt, or tacticool...they're great if you also edc firefighter gloves or astronaut gloves! Any gloves really.

[@khelilsalhi8724]

awesome collection! i really like the buck 110 auto

[@chemohack5491]

You is my favorite youtube for ever

[@aaronmulcahy2004]

Great video! Your BM 940 or the Spyderco Drunken are the most interesting to me. My first knife is the only Swiss Army knife that I own. My dad gave it to me when I was in 6th grade. I've always traveled with that knife, it's so versatile. I love my ZT 0609. I bought a Kershaw Volt eons ago and loved the RJ Martin lines. I could not afford a custom, so when this came out I bought one as soon as I could.

[@sparky0288]

What the drawer unit your keeping the knives in?

[@OatmealGrillBlazer]

I'm waiting on someone make a ddlc joke about yuri's knives addiction

[@OatmealGrillBlazer]

@Lin da I made a post about this

[@timmoore8491]

I liked that a lot. Thanks

[@rogueinvestor2375]

The castration blade on the Remington is for dads who have daughters when they call you crying during her date.

[@LuisinEdc]

Toy have a nice collection! Nice zt 0392

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Very nice collection. Wish I would have picked up a 707 before it was discontinued. I'd highly recommend the Bugout. You will be able to pick one up with Flytanium scales at BladeHQ in the near future.

[@555Gear]

Waiting for the right version of the Bugout, will fit right in here! Cheers, Andrew

[@tokyoexpresswayjapan8105]

Just recently got into knives, but I don't think I'll be expanding the collection. Recently bought two Buck knives and have my two old Leatherman, one from 2007 and one from 2016.

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

You need to buy at least one Great Eastern Cutlery knife. Much better fit and finish than anything Buck makes.

[@tokyoexpresswayjapan8105]

@@MPerry-ox9qb Cool, thanks and its Made in the USA will definitely check it out.

[@555Gear]

Great knives!

[@mark.lizettegrant]

Do u know were I can sell or trade some knives there not expensive but in good condition and ty for showing yr knives

[@morimo11]

Mick Strider and Duane Dwyer collector here. Also a couple from Hinderer.

[@555Gear]

Good stuff, I need someone to explain to me what's going on with Striders latest knives. Who's making 'em these days?

[@morimo11]

Mick and Duane each have their own shops, each producing their knives independently. Mick is making full customs and small batches of semi customs. Duane is only producing full customs. Secondary market is a bit wonky lately, especially since the production side of Strider Knives is gone. Retailers are selling out really quickly, and they are selling for above retail on the secondary. They might be a little big for you based on your collection, but maybe give an SnG a try.

[@morimo11]

Do you follow WatchBox Studios? The big guy with the beard on the Thursday videos is a knife collector too. He carries a Todd Begg folder.

[@reidnmiller1]

Did you find a way to get your smalll sebenza cf not to rattle with the blue lanyard hole?

[@danredman6823]

Reid Miller find some matching blue thread and wrap it around one of ends of the lanyard holder and tie it off. There is a little gap between the scale and the lanyard holder which causes the rattling noise. Keeps it from rattling and can’t tell it’s there.

[@calebfoster552]

I saw a Northwoods slip but no Northwoods? Or did I miss it?

[@555Gear]

Yep I've had Northwoods come and go out of the collection, pretty sure I got the Northwood slips extra, but it was years ago

[@chrimay]

And a killer action...and a killer action...and a killer action....

[@Bear-nu8xm]

I have been collecting since july and have 12 knives. I better slow down some, nah!

[@braydenstrom1548]

Noice knives

[@frankfattore989]

I like the Adamas a lot! I do however prefer it in the fixed blade style, as it is larger and stronger. I feel the folder is too bulky for pocket carry, and sacrifices strength due to its folder construction.

[@555Gear]

I agree

[@acechel6145]

No Cold Steel?

[@tubes5150]

Ramil Pring Love All My Cold Steels ❤️🤠🔪🇺🇸Come see

[@carsonseaboch2328]

Where do you buy your knives at ?

[@555Gear]

Blade HQ!

[@carsonseaboch2328]

Thanks! I recently gotten into collecting knifes, and wanted to know the best place to get them.

[@adamboylan2307]

You look exactly like tom hardy on the title page.

[@Adrian-Muica]

10x for the time to share this! watch collection next? 😎

[@kevindale4103]

Вы клиптоман? зачем столько ножей?

[@readyme]

I like the content but the video is too long. Maybe break up different styles into different videos.

[@Utekprasec]

fix your camera...

[@mckymorningstar4186]

Your having too much movement. How can we see the details of each knife if you keep on moving and keep on story telling.

[@BennyCFD]

Knives are just tools........you could start a real collection of screwdrivers, or needle nose pliers.
