Top 10 Favorite EDC Knives -- Best Pocket Knives for Everyday Carry | EDC Knife Review

[@yoy58913]

I like how you describe and explain each knife. and in the description in the proper order how you were explaining each knife. I like how organized you put it together I'm liking and subscribing

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Nice list of knife options! I really enjoyed the camera work, BTW. It looked great having the knife in focus with the blurred background. Very pleasing to the eyes!

[@BudgetBugout]

Glad you liked it! I appreciate the feedback!

[@echolessowl]

I literally just watched your edc tin video

[@vibeslide]

I'm happy to see you showing so many spydercos :) I'm using an Endura for around 20 years now as EDC (literally) and i wouldn't trade it in for anything. Fantastic little bugger.

[@alexoneal1029]

Nice collection BB,,,you and I have similar taste when it comes to knives(I have quite a few of the knives you presented)...it's amazing the wide variety of good knives that are now available at reasonable prices...

[@zsknives6049]

How are you alex do you want knife you have Instagram

[@StevenSmith-gunknife]

Love your videos! That is my favorite descrption of most carried knives, It'll turn up vs. have to find it. So many people do these types of videos and come across that you should carry one of their knives or you're wrong, I never get that feeling with your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@DrWarman86]

The one knife I use the most and carry almost all the time is the leatherman Sidekick, i also keep a swiss knife and a Sinclair on me. But the knife I use the most is my sidekick. I work in a grocery store and dealing with small repairs to doors, bailer wire, and turning small bolts that could become a safety problem if not handled is just what I do for fun while on the job.

[@BudgetBugout]

That's a good choice. I'll be making a multitool comparison video soon!

[@egyptian316]

I like my Opinel #8. It's light, has a great blade for the money, and I love the twist lock mechanism. Being able to lock the blade closed as well as open is a nice feature I wish more knives had. My work knife is a 59 cent disposable break-off box cutter. It weighs nothing, and fits very nicely in my pocket. I've gotten more mileage out of that blade than any other I've owned.

[@opichocal]

Military is my favorite folder and BM Nim cub ll is my favorite fixed blade. Really like your choices.

[@coffeepot3123]

The tiny compact böker is more down my alley!

[@professorjoe9980]

just a good ol' honest review of what you like! Great vid man!

[@maxshby8136]

I love my buck ranger. Its beat up but never fails at any task and easy to sharpen

[@danofiremano]

Skateboard tape makes great thumb grip on knives that don't have decent jimping. I do the same as you with my Dragonfly, but mine is the VG-10 w/ G-10 scales. I have too many favorites to name, some of them are like yours and some different. I too have many of those "where did I put that" knives that are nice but not used as much. I don't believe in safe queens! My least used but highly favored though is my dress up gent's 940-1 CF (because my Reg. 940 is kind of beat up)! Thanks for the video.

[@Stanz125]

I personally always carry my Fox Knives "The Dart" knife designed by Doug Marcaida and in my back pocket I carry a small Kershaw Shuffle for everyday letter opening, pencil sharpening, paracord cutting

[@yogililly884]

while I would like a Sage, for the price can get 3 to 4 good EDC knifes that I know I would use..... Thus my top 4 usage, generally always have two knifes.... 1) SAK Harvester, I just prefer the pruner (hawkbill) blade for daily cutting chores, Alox scale for grip. 2) SAK Field Master, scissors and wood saw added to a Tinker (old favorite that I easily recommend as a first knife) 3) Dragonfly 2, smaller blade (2.25) inches that offers so much control for EDC, in orange for visibility. 4) Rat 2, 3 inch blade that feels secure in hand with finger choil and jimpiing thumb ramp. A great utility knife, while I do not own a Rat 1 for those with bigger hands or desire something that may also serve in a tactical situation the Rat 1 should be considered.

[@gearhead5150555]

My favorite knives are the kershaw cryo, buck vantage, benchmade mini grip, spyderco delica and I really like the buck redpioing and the revel those are the next two I'm gonna pick up

[@sidorgan969]

Some of my favourite are The benchmade gripptillian 551 Spyderco paramillitary 2 Zero tolerence 0900 Spyderco manix 2 Spyderco dellica 4 Opinel no9 Victorinox hunter lockback

[@Kris_Stiletto]

You've got some nice choices there, Bro. I have the Recon 1, that you have. I love the Recon1 Series. Like you, I believe they are "Tough as Nails." Cool Video, Bro... Peace, Stiletto :)

[@christopherbodensiek510]

Really liked the video! Keep up the work!

[@DarkenIrishWolf]

A light coat of DuraCoat Matte Black/ OD Green/ "insert color here" can take the 'bite' out of grippy handle in any knife you have. I've found that a light coat will still have the grip but my jeans or khakis aren't shredded.

[@xavierso8549]

Awesome video. But personally I think the PM2 is too long of a knife instead I prefer the spyderco manix 2.

[@dirtbikesftw3505]

I love the Griptilian, but same the handles are a little rough so I'm saving up for a 551-1 Griptilian.

[@shotokido678]

All good choices! You have a fantastic collection of really functional, beautiful knives, perhaps precisely because you identify yourself as a user, rather than a collector. Have you carried a Cold Steel Voyager, and how does it rank for you? I personally find it one of the best EDC blades out. Also, what about Opinels? They aren't modern in design, aren't clipable, and can't be deployed or closed one-handed, but the utility and weight makes them amazing for the price.

[@thequeensconquerer316]

The Vic Compact is an almost perfect knife, I'd recommend you to try it

[@alexartang6569]

almost, not quite though, i got one and i love mine, but i wish i coulda switched the parcel hook for a screwdriver, or an awl, then it wouldve been perfect

[@unonamouse]

They all look brand new do you use them or just carry them? Just asking to see if you're rating them on looks and comfort or actual functionality and durability

[@Bugbee86]

I've been carrying a H&K nitrous blitz for about 2 years. I've tried several other but I can't leave it at home. So thin and light. I punish it too and it takes it in stride. Gotta love spyder co knives

[@StinkyWeiner]

Awesome collection man! Lucky

[@PokeTycoon]

Great collection! Thanks for the tips :) have you checked out the shrade viper 2? Its the only knife I know of that flips from the side. Its my favorite edc, will never open in a pocket and feels great in my hand!

[@JohnDoe-yx8sh]

Hey man, you're very objective and you have nice taste in knives! Keep it up!

[@JonathanB00K3R]

Hey budget bugout my top edc knives are the crkt hammond cruiser, old timer by schrade (it was one of my grandfathers so a true classic) and that's about it :) excluding my edc bag knives but still lol

[@KrisLacy]

great video. I like Spyderco and have the ones you showed (Dragonfly 2 I have in zdp and h1 steel) except for the Domino. I am surprised that the Sage 1 didn't make your list. Just curious what don't you like about it?

[@valiumflowers72]

I own the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 :) i got the Purple Sprint Run.

[@BigALCigarSmoke]

Great review. I think i'm getting myself a spyderco

[@randomguy3281]

Alexander Pagan It really is hard to go wrong with Spyderco. It is defiantly worth owning a few if you are into knives.

[@BigALCigarSmoke]

Thanks for the info Random Guy!

[@randomguy3281]

Alexander Pagan Have you looked at any in particular?

[@dougieranger]

Dragonfly II is nice.

[@JakeLH22]

Go for the Paramilitary 2. It's not as big as it looks and the frame is thinner than a Griptilian. Awesome EDC

[@heyyitsandy]

I had a leek as my first knife, and I loved it (until I lost it) Great mix of knives, I espaecially love the Manix 2 you showed - but curious why it didn't make the cut? It's next on my list to get soon

[@greckle]

My dad has a Spyderco knife called The Bug, and its just a tiny little knife that hooks onto a key chain

[@ricktemmen6272]

Good video ... Thanks ... I keep the SAK Rambler on my keychain ...

[@hanoverphist]

Enjoyed the video! I'm going to have to get a griptilian for myself. I would like to make a video request. I see people on KZbin flipping their Spyderco's open with the middle finger and try as I might, I can't seem to get it. You seem to do it quite well and I was wondering if you would be interested in making a brief tutorial video. I think just seeing it slowed way down might help and stating whether there are any kind of practice tips to try. I have a variety of Spyderco's knives so I would think I should be able to manage to flip at least one open with the middle finger. I'm a beast flipping them open with my thumb though.

[@JakeLH22]

I had an issue till I realized putting the bottom of the knife into the lower/center of my palm is the trick. You can't hold it the same way as you would flipping it open with your thumb. Rest the lanyard hole end of the knife against your palm to give it a solid base and resting point to start the flipping action. Using your middle finger is easier than the index or ring for sure also. Hope this helps! Let me know.

[@DadoAnaAntun]

I carry spyderco delica g10 pm2 camo tenacious camo benchmade 300 1 benchmade 32 some victorinox ontario rat 1 d2 g10 manix 2 kershaw blur and more....

[@justinbelcher3679]

They were all nice knives. Thanks

[@joey8obby]

Hey man! I was just wondering about which EDC pocket knife I should buy, and I wanted to know what you think about the Anvil Bullshark (search on Amazon), it's $40 Canadian but it looks great and according to the reviews it's not bad. What's your opinion on it?

[@alessandrothugknifeforhate4517]

My top 3 is a benchmade 940, spyderco paramilitary 2 , opinel n 8 .

[@lazarreturned6729]

I feel that a pocket knife should be smaller then some you mentioned.Great video tho.😁😁

[@jacobmanalang8162]

nice list, hell nice collection!

[@GJJohno]

Good vid after watching this video it made me want to get a pocket knive

[@gritsharpenson3345]

Thank you so much for your time

[@swiggamortis5521]

Great vid! If you are tired of the Manix 2 you can send it my way :)

[@Vintagegamer542]

Hey bud great video as always. Can I request you do a video with some budget uk legal carry knifes.

[@BudgetBugout]

Thanks for watching! I have received that request before. I promise I will make the video but it will be at a later time.

[@eesafredericks2122]

The Benchmade 940 is such a nice looking knife wow

[@Wilderness-gd4vc]

Hear me out I'm someone who doesn't have too much money I think you should challenge yourself and make a top 10 EDC under 10 dollars give it a try please that video would help me a lot thanks for the consideration also love your vids keep it up

[@Max-tl6su]

My EDC is a Victroinox one hand trekker.

[@PR0MARK1]

Im a huge Spyderco fan. Benchmade, not so much.... they're too goddamn expensive for what you get I think... A few great Spydercos you missed: tenacious, cetefante, and the stretch. Never buy knives with a serrated edge unless you like tearing things instead of cutting. Plain edge every time!

[@zacharychambliss6346]

I carry different knives every day but the knife I always have on me is the buck 171 stockman

[@richardsaunders5717]

have you seen the cold steel assisted. awesome!

[@cwrowe]

Good choice of knifes.......👍

[@dominiclaufenberg8677]

I like the Ritter RSK mk5 and the gerber paraframe tanto

[@turtleherd8204]

My Kershaw hotwire, since it is the only decent knife I own.

[@thatspapsknife63]

Very Enjoyable Video.Thanks

[@BudgetBugout]

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@smiley37greg]

The knives shown are pretty badass but man Benchmade knives are soooooo pricey. Kinda like carry around a super sharp ass piece of jewelry in your pocket.

[@diamonds-razors]

Boker bz is also great I have it in my pocket and I forgot that it's there light weight and great size

[@ryce_luke1269]

What knife do you recommend I upgrade to that's under 100$? I'm using a victorinox adventurer right now.

[@max796428]

ExTremeHYPE Spyderco anything. You can find them under a $100.

[@yesweewong9860]

i got a mtech ballistic rainbow flame and it is sweet

[@professorwarfare]

Paramilitary 2 for two years, I love it.

[@BudgetBugout]

Same!

[@stephenduncan1622]

Good options but mostly I like the speed in which you show your EDC knives most people talk way to much about the knives they use.

[@OLMmedic]

I have similar taste. Good vid. Got me to subscribe. By the way, you are a collector. We all are!! Lol

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

hm. misses of course some opinel for sure. the sure cheapest and most lovely budget knife out there. should be by far at position 1 on ur list, regarding price and what it delivers. ... i mean... real wood handle! why u missed that out? so...yeah... i like the spidey hole and with this i need to like spyderco. reliable, easy and confortable to use, very lightweight, good steel (delica 4, vg10). downside is the way too expensive price, they dont produce wood handles, the blade shape isnt for food prep, delica is too short for food prep--> endura a tad too big and more heavy (also probs with that childish laws regarding blade length). the dragonfly is way too small to use it really for edc. its maybe for... slicing open some packages, cutting some rope. that was it. the ergonomics are superb for such a tiny knife though. they really should create those bigger, in 9cm blade lengrh. with wood handle and slightly different blade shape. would be the almost perfect edc knife. spyderco is very lame in progressing and it seems they give a fart on listening to customer needs and likes.

[@gamevidz24]

what do you recommend for self defense?

[@MM-hy3xv]

Whatever you take, don't take something with a too long blade, because you might accidently kill someone with a long bladed knife

[@thomascronkhite3732]

Are spring assisted knifes (the knives that open by pushing on a lever) legal in Canada?

[@nickhickey9366]

the Kershaw leek knife does not have a slanted blade on amazon where do I find one exactly like yours?

[@Jaysann22]

Im just not a fan of Spyder Co knives. Everyone else seems to really like them, but I just unfortunately dont. Unfortunately because they are well known, widely available, tons of variety, decent quality, but I just dont like their designs. The shape, their choice of colors, and dislike their choices of materials in the handles... Just kind of a "meh" for me when it comes to Spyder Co.... :(

[@Childofbhaal]

They're also pretty expensive

[@VicariousReality7]

Jaysann22 Yup, i also broke two enduras and a dodo lock

[@philbrown8679]

They're too modern. Just my opinion

[@JakeLH22]

I also am not a fan of Spyderco designs, however the paramilitary 2 is amazing. It puts all the other strange looking wide frame Spyderco knives to shame.

[@Childofbhaal]

+Jaysann22 After owning a Paramilitary 2 everything changed my viewpoint of Spyderco. That knife is basically perfection. The ergonomics are the best around, and the blade shape is fantastic with CPM s30v and it's incredibly light and easy for EDC. Love it.

[@yungwale69]

Where did you get the tanto leek from I'd like to get one

[@pimpdaddyxwing]

I feel like you live in Colorado! lol just from some of the forest clips!

[@AtHerFeet57]

I can't stand wimpy folders like Spyderco or Kershaw! I hate back lock folders too! Give me beefy folders with a liner lock and I'm happy!

[@Smasho8000]

+Leonard Szubinski The Kershaw Leek is actually really good as well as the Spyderco Tenacious (Though it's black mark against it is that it's made in China, or at least mine was). I don't know about the rest but those two are definitely good. They may be small but they're super useful. If you want something big and aggressive, I suggest the SOG Vulcan, Tomcat 3.0 or the biggest one of them all, the Fatcat. These might empty out your wallet quite a bit but they're definitely up your alley.

[@lt0295]

+Leonard Szubinski Not exactly sure what is "wimpy" about a Kershaw Blur?

[@FacitOmniaVoluntas.]

The Benchmade 940 looks awesome besides from that ugly purple stripe on the back. Why did they do that...

[@jarrodthomas2332]

The Ontario rat 1 should have been in top 5

[@ericblade8330]
