5 Must Have Knives!

[@Talix.]

This was awesome, Sarah did really well here explaining things from her pov.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Sarah is cool as heck! I love seeing a fellow lady passionate about 🔪 s

[@BladeHQ]

Heck ya! Thanks for the love! - Sara

[@Dracomies]

Sarah really did great well here!! And you really get the impression she actually uses and knows these knives! She should be featured more!

[@Oneoneone111One]

Sarah should have a full time spot as a presenter

[@alfredjarry503]

Agreed.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

She's nice, but her voice is so monotone 🤮

[@dmg4415]

​@edwardfletcher7790 I disagree her low voice is soothing. And as for many a little training will get her going.

[@marcausedc9521]

Came here to write this.

[@jlogue751]

I agree because she said in Auto knife has so much in common with a fixed blade...😂

[@BeardsBaconTech]

For what the bug out is, it’s way too expensive. It should be less than $100 for what it is and I know people are going to be mad at me, but there’s knives that have the same materials that are less than the bug out and that are way better than the bug out, the bug out was way cheaper like less than $100. I might buy one.

[@mikeappleget482]

Considering it’s S90V, $165 to $200 should be the max price for a knife like that. $300 for that knife is a complete joke.

[@imiszasz2442]

if they should start selling s30v knives at 62 hrc, i would be ok with a 180 quid bugout. but not at 58-59 :/ for this price, i would expect hard magnacut (63+, not just on paper, but really hard MC)

[@BeardsBaconTech]

@@mikeappleget482 i’m talking about the cheapest version of the bug out that’s still like $100 and that knife does not feel like $100. It should be less than $100 cause I can get a knife like the bug out the cheap version for cheaper, but it’s way better built.

[@mikeappleget482]

@@imiszasz2442 a few days ago I saw somebody test a bunch of different knives and I was shocked when I saw Benchmade’s S30 coming in a hair over 58hrc. Even the budget brands were hitting 60 - 61hrc on their S30.

[@brandonday9001]

I have to agree. I got a mini bugout for like $190 and a para 3 a few weeks later for about the same price and i then had major regrets with the mini bugout. Its nice but its only s30v with a plastic handle. Should be about $80 not $190. I got caught in the hype and brand name. I've been more impressed with civivi knives, especially for the price.

[@beanie0026]

You want to get to a million subscribers in half the time? Keep Sarah in the videos. Well done.

[@jayd6607]

She has good energy. As for the knives the Para 2 or the Malibu and I'm happy. Happier with both though. 😊

[@stevefoster61]

Sara was the highlight... very well spoken & knows her stuff. Hopefully we'll see more of her on the channel.

[@ManicuredBlades]

More Sarah!!

[@knifenut71]

Sarah should be the new presenter full time

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

The Bugout may make people wonder about the price for what you get. What you get is bedrock reliability in a folder that slips into your pocket and disappears until you need it. It should be the first knife in any collection for users who do not regularly use knives for work. If you buy it early, it may save you from buying a bunch of other knives that will just sit in their boxes or in a desk drawer. Usability and portability make the Bugout my most regular daily carry.

[@raul0ca]

The Bugout is an optimized light weight knife. I've been carrying a Delica since the late 90s and it has never let me down. If you look at the omega spring on the Bugout vs the spring on the Delica you know which one will last. Lately I've been carrying a Meadowlark which has a terrible handle because sometimes other people will trash your knife

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

@@raul0ca I love the Delica. It was one of my very first knives, and it has the best ergonomics for my hand. It just melts into the grip like butter. I agree with you about the movement on the Delica. Even when you slow-roll that open, there's a reassuring clack that sounds like a percussion instrument.

[@raul0ca]

@@Cletus_the_Elder Haha I do cheat on Spyderco and buy ESEE non-folders and survival kits. Nothing like going out to the middle of nowhere and trying a survival fishing line or route finding with a tiny compass and map

[@J.Young808]

No buying a Bugout won’t save you from buying a bunch of other knives that just sit in their boxes. I have a shelf in my cabinet dedicated to knives I have purchased after my Bugout (my first nice knife purchase).

[@OffTheGrid1982]

Gods gift to men are women who appreciate, like and know knives!! 😊

[@Monsoonpain]

They're a rare breed

[@Khanage911]

💯

[@wayne8276]

Well done, Sarah . Good job by both of you . I'm looking for my next knife now . I have purchased fixed blades lately . It's time to go back to a folder ..... Thank you .

[@RagnarokCo]

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Elementum or a Burnley knife.

[@sloanNYC]

I really like it when you have more of the team on. It changes it up!

[@carollynneteteak2188]

A dynamic duo for sure! More Sara...but I'm biased :)

[@billclancy4913]

Sarah Rocks!

[@benbanters]

Fun to see a repeat on this. Nice work, friends!

[@BladeHQ]

Thanks Ben! Much appreciated!

[@robertbudnik3318]

Highly entertaining segment! You are a Dynamic Duo!

[@jbarrysupers]

My list.. 1. Sebenza 2. BM 940 3. PM2 4. Gerber Propel Downrange 5. ZT 0450 CF

[@jtaylorb88]

While George had huge shoes to fill it was still the best from the old days when we had more presenters. It covered more different areas and likes along with easier to play off each other.

[@TylerKTanaka]

So cool to see both a Sebenza & the Ultratech on the top list still but it’s a travesty the 940 didn’t make it. My personal favorites in my carry rotation: 1. Sebenza small w/ Insingo blade 2. Microtech Ultratech w/ bayonet blade 3. Benchmade Osbourne 940-1 (with S30 blade swap) 4. Hinderer XM-18 3.5” w/ Wharncliffe blade 5. Spyderco Para 3

[@J.Young808]

I have 3 Bugout’s, and I bought my Dad one: two green, one black mini & the one shown. I also have a Jade G10 940 Osborne. I have a Spyderco PM3 with aftermarket Jade scales.

[@DavidV4444]

Sarah is awesome!!!! I had to make an edit lololol - as I was watching and the Ultratech came up I was poised to comment that Microtech is launching a serious upgrade to the Ultratech - the kitchen sink from milled Ti clip To new spring system to zero blade may but Sarah to her credit mentioned that it’s getting upgraded - so well done Sarah!!!

[@fredlibby396]

The Sabenza? Pretty sure for 600 bucks you could find 2 knives that are better.

[@deltonwestberry6405]

S.OG. Trident, Case Trapper, Buck 110, Leatherman OHT, Gerber Hinderer.

[@jayr526]

I can't say that I'm crazy about this list, but I can compliment you on the inclusion of the PM 2. I have several of these

[@jayr526]

I do not know if I won't ever own a microtech. I recently purchased a Kershaw livewire for under $200 and it is a wonderful knife, with magnicut for the blade.

[@andyhayward1261]

My god that first sentence is structured so confusingly 😂😂

[@Barbent1317]

I have many microtechs, the Kershaw live wire is a better OTF, hands down. And for the price, it shouldn’t be that good.

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

For ME 1. Spyderco Shaman 2. Spyderco PM2 3. MT Hera II or Ultratech 4. Benchmade Griptilian 5. Gerber Gator Serrator for me it is a great knife for dressing

[@charliepugh9436]

Love Sarah and I want all your picks...!!!!

[@yatumux]

One of them of six is my absolutely fav 🙂

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I don’t get it with Chris Reeve knives, Ive handled quite a few and $600 o can’t see it. Maybe years and years ago it was the pinnacle, but today there’s so many options as nice for less.

[@vashock]

If i took a drink every time in heard “so good” in any edc video, i’d be wasted.

[@JROTCBALL]

I have a few PM2s in different steels / blade shapes n love them, n recently picked up my first ever CRK Sebenza, got the large with ebony wood inlays 💖

[@realbroggo]

Blade HQ videos just got better. Yes the following statement is sexist but I am so glad to hear the perspectives of a woman who is into knives. Knife collecting is not just for men. When I'm doing research into my next purchase I really appreciate getting a wide range of opinions. I find that women often pick up on things that men overlook. Thanks Sara you clearly know your stuff. Sharp blades all.

[@dalian3903]

😩 I have the black dlc coated station knife, it’s literally made to replace almost every cooking knife in the kitchen besides the cleaver obviously

[@Icecold-zp6hz]

Top 5 knifes 100% agree!!!

[@deltonwestberry6405]

5 knives that are useless.

[@DevinAkin]

Wonderful video. You two are a good team.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

You should get the OG scales for your AD10, it’s a game changer. There’s a company making titanium frames for the Arcade.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

The MSI should definitely be on this list, I really hope someone makes micarta scales for it. For the Spyderco’s the Manix and Manix XL should now be rated higher, stronger lock, much better value. Especially the crucarta versions being the same price as the base para 2 and 3

[@wpymes]

My favorite knife is the Cold Steel AD15 in s35VN. But the first thing i did when i got it, i opened the box and removed the clip.

[@okamic1750]

I don’t have enough money for all the knives I want!! That flytanium is sweet. Love a drop point blade

[@david.leikam]

Great tag team episode. 👍

[@jps5871]

I guess I agree as I have multiples of the first five.

[@2saxey808]

[@nickmartino2839]

I have a BHQ EXCLUSIVE S45VN Malibu.... love it sooo much

[@cowshaveclaws]

is there a release date yet for the gen3 ultratech's?

[@ZiGGi03]

Can we make a petition to get spyderCo to put more ball locks like on the manix 2 it’s my favourite lock they make and I’d love it on other Spyderco platforms.

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

I love the large Sebenza but nobody ever has the original looking ones in stock with all titanium and dual blue thumbstuds.

[@Tylerfelps47]

Where’s the Benchmade 940 Osborne ??? An absolute must have

[@SquidGunman]

Absolutely! My fave folder of all time.

[@bullridermusic2054]

Does anybody else not like the cross bar lock and love the spyderco compression lock?

[@andyhayward1261]

No. I like both. But I will give you I like the compression lock more for sure, it’s just much nicer having a proper detent. I also very much like the new Vosteed button compression lock, the new raccoon with it is amazing

[@shootisttx15]

The bug out or mini bug out are my edcs most of the time.

[@alexandregraulle607]

Very well. I just a bit in love withe the Chaves Redention Dual Grind. With the skull clip. Extra quality, extra cool knife to ..! ^^

[@jeffscalfano3100]

I was getting ready to type the same thing.

[@orendz7740]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:01</a> I love the axis lock/bar locks on other knives until the omega spring breaks.

[@tonnynijholt7090]

Man I"m pretty new to this channel but Sarah is as good in front of the camera as behind the camera!

[@tonnynijholt7090]

And you both rock :D

[@graemehirstwood670]

I would have bought a few of those knives but for the fact that they aren't designed ambidextrous - you are missing out on a potential 10% increase in sales. Us south paws love knives too It is one of the reasons that the vast majority of my knives are Benchmade and Spyderco.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂 don't hold your breath since you are only approximately 10% of the world population

[@kosherbeefcake]

I have relied on my knives (when lives were on the line) too often to care about ‘fidgety’ as a knife attribute.

[@gregblake2764]

The Benchmade Mini Freek is superior to the Bugout.

[@nicksknives7777]

Hate the blade play on the bugout, like the knife except for that.

[@mrj3711]

This video just reminded me how disappointed i was with the bugout. Still sits busted in my safe. So many better options idk why im a sucker. Edit: I think it just needs a new $5 spring but still.

[@etherealicer]

I think its the hype and when a knife cannot live up to that. For me it was the CRK Sebenza. It is nowhere nearly worth that price. But what IMO kills it, is the clip. And yes, some people love the clip, but I don't. Too sharp, too grabby (I actually lost my CRK on the first day because the clip snagged on something and it pulled the knife out of my pocket without me noticing. Fortunately I found it again)

[@jayr526]

I ordered one because everyone said how wonderful it was. And I got my hands on it. I felt like it really sucked. It was light. The scales were very flexible and it just did not strike me as a good tool. I will sometime carry it when I go to the gym because it is light sits on my shorts without any difficulty.

[@jayr526]

The bench made recommendation is stupid. You can purchase a Konosuke for almost that amount of money or maybe a few dollars more.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂 if all you need is an omega spring just call Benchmade and once a year they will send you a replacement part for FREE.... That's dumb on you for just letting it sit and coming on here complaining about you being lazy

[@stephenbarabas6286]

​@@etherealiceryou didn't lose that knife if you found it. That's not how something being lost works 😂

[@michaeltrujillo9092]

I knew when I came to the message board to give her respect that people would unanimously agree, happy to see I was right for once in my life

[@alexandregraulle607]

Wouoau, i want the Parra military 3 to ... And the last of American brands it's the Microtech Ultratech. Even more expensive !!

[@rnrsteev]

bugout is junkout. my top 5 (or so) - CRKT Overland, Victorinox Pioneer, Buck Special, CRKT M16, Al Mar(for the boot), anything CS with the TriAd, Griptillion, the original Spyderco Veile, the baby Spyderco hawkbill salt(yellow scales), Buck Lancer, - Case Barlow FTW! Sarah is Pretty.

[@Puffinstuff316]

Too through with Benchmade, and I think all Spyderco blades look alike!!😮

[@DiegoMolina-m9q]

When will lander 4 fixed blades be available?

[@dylbarton]

I think the iridium is a better knife for this list than the Sebenza. I've handled Sebenzas and other Chris Reeves Knives, and honestly I don't see the hype at all. A frame lock is way down on the list of locking mechanisms for me, the price is insane, and it doesn't feel like they are doing anything exciting or new. I know its USA made so the cost goes up, but if the features don't match up, I'm going to go with something else like a Kunwu where the materials and construction feels as good as a Sebenza, they are incorporating new locks and designs, and it is less than half the price. I'm glad Chris Reeves is successful and recognize that he has beeng making knives for like 30+ years, invinted the frame lock, and probably was directly pivotal in helping create the modern pocket knife industry. However, it feels like he was successful when offerings did not really exist from other companies and now he is coasting on that. He makes so few knives, that people want them because they are rare, and is years behind what other brands and makers are doing.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

I agree on the Chris Reeve.... I owned one and sold it.... Nothing special

Depending on what you consider "cheap " they do have quite a few now a days that would probably fit into that budget. Anywhere from $60 akc f-16 to Maxace for $110 and a bunch of others in between.
