First Look At The Newest Knives Of 2024! || All Our Favorites From SHOT Show.

We had a blast going around SHOT Show and looking at the hottest newest EDC Knives! We rounded up all of our favorites into one video. Enjoy!

[@Barry-Sweaty]

I was just in Las Vegas for World of Concrete. TBH, I forgot about Shot Show. However, I had an actual Ben Petersen sighting in the wild! 🤣 It blew my mind. I yelled “what is up guys” Ben didn’t see or hear me but some middle age ladies responded with enthusiasm so it wasn’t a complete loss.

Zac - great job as always. Jamie - fantastic job behind the camera!!

[@eskee1]

Jamie... terrible job bud.

[@The_VietnAmerican]

Great job, as always! Cheers!

[@BaboLonian]

Zac! Love your content bro! Thank you for always being a real one and being the best EDC channel out there! And as always… I like turtles 🐢

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks man!👊 Also turtles are great😁😎

[@AndrewTurner251]

Really enjoyed the video thanks for making it.

[@Timjstewart]

Thanks Zac for the great tour!

[@MrBlessed70]

Thanks Zac-I would LOVE Civivi to make a 4 inch blade version of The Bull tusk.

Hey cool to see you have your own channel, i missed your Blade HQ reviews. Best of luck with it.

As always Zach outstanding review bravo bravo 😁😁

I’ve been waiting patiently for this video to drop! Thank you 🙃

Yoooooo Zac Thanks for feeding us that couldn't do the trip some tasty crumbs!

[@ketzielgonzalez]

The Roxon Flex is going to be the best multitool of the year. I have been looking for something like it for a long time.

I’m just waiting for that button lock praxis in Micarta and it’s my perfect knife.

Great review

Love this fast pace style of just going through multiple manufacturers without them talking and just going at your own leasure

As much as i love my bugout and Benchmade in general, they can pound sound with the prices they want......

Well, you're in luck then! Hogue is releasing a Bugout clone WITH titanium scales for "only" three bills.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

@@theKashConnoisseur 🤣 that's a hell of a deal

[@just9911]

@@theKashConnoisseur if you price it out, might as well just get a magnacut deka with polymer scales and throw some AWT scales on it.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

@@just9911 I haven't personally been impressed with the Hogues I've owned, so I'd probably end up getting Spyderco's new Military 2 model and use the spare funds for some custom forged carbon scales or something similar. Alas, I'm not a big fan of titanium.

[@just9911]

@@theKashConnoisseur I just threw a pair of aluminum AWT scales on one of my natives. They’re pretty fantastic. You should give hogue a second look. They’ve really dialed in their heat treat and they now have the 3rd best factory edges, behind Spyderco and Cold Steel.

Waterknife handle should be hyper color. In case it drops in shallow water.

I've said it many times, I want an OG Aquasalt in the Yellow.

[@thekeystonekid8687]

They have the Adira in the water line, so I'm really curious about what materials they're using for the liners and hardware.

Magnacut: The Suckers Steel

[@theKashConnoisseur]

Nah man, it's actually a pretty big advancement in knife steel metallurgy. Usually, you have to trade off between stainlessness, toughness, and edge retention. When picking steel properties, before Magnacut you'd pick two of the three that you wanted to have good performance in, and you'd accept that the third steel property would suffer. For instance, 420HC is very tough, quite stainless, but has cheese-soft edge retention. Those trade-offs were accepted as a fact of life in knife steels. And then Dr. Thomas got Crucible to run his new steel recipe... And he was able to come up with a steel that was VERY tough, almost entirely corrosion resistant, and with better than average edge retention. And it's easy to machine, hardens to a ridiculous Rockwell value, doesn't get chippy with fine edge grinds... It's pretty amazing stuff, to be honest.

[@clandestinetactical]

Umm 🤔 lol 😂 ok there “Suckers steel “ If you know anything about metallurgical chemistry.. then you should know that Magnacut is superior to 80% of the blade steels on the market .. you can read about it more if you like …

[@AnAmericanFather]

@@clandestinetactical what I know is how tools work in the wilderness. Magnacut is for suckers. I have been using high carbon steel knives in the wilderness for 30 years. I will put my D2 steel knives up against your ridiculously expensive magnacut any day. If you have money to throw away on names, then feel free. but magna cut steel, it’s for suckers.

[@AnAmericanFather]

@@theKashConnoisseur if all that you do is talk about steel, then, yeah, it’s great. In the real world, as in out in the wilderness, it’s an extreme waste of money. I have been using D2 steel knives to guide for over half of my life.I would never spend money on magnacut, because it’s unnecessary and silly.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

@@AnAmericanFather If you were really a wilderness guide, you'd probably prefer a tougher steel than D2 lol. That stuff is liable to snap on you while batoning. You'd be better of with cheap old 420HC, with it's class leading toughness. Not to mention you could sharpen 420HC with any old river rock, while D2 is gonna demand some tougher abrasives. But hey, you might be interested to know that Magnacut out-performs D2 in every important property. It's tougher than D2, it's more stainless than D2, and it has better edge retention than D2. So if D2 works well for you, Magnacut would work even better. Although personally, I'd rather CPM 3V for a hard use woodcraft blade. Now, is it really. a waste of money to invest in quality survival tools? You'd think someone claiming to be a wilderness guide for half their life would know the value in a good knife that will outlast him. But hey, a lot of people make false clams about themselves online.

[@TheGreatBlackPantom]

Really excited for modern traditionals

[@anklesoncredentials]

when's the bench made water collection going to drop? that folder looks cool.

[@estebanrivera8820]

Good looking stuff. Too bad the BM stuff will be so ridiculously priced.

[@maxlvledc]

I missed you! Next time 👍

[@littlerelyt]

Crkt needs to use 14c28n as a base steel across all their budget options

[@scotthalvorson1161]

That or 12c27 but 8cr just aint cutting it these days

[@theKashConnoisseur]

I like D2 personally, never mad to have D2 in a budget blade.

[@bryanjenks4991]

After you set down the Michaca, it looks like that’s Phillip Booth (designer of the Michaca) that is walking around behind you in the camera frame. And by great coincidence, also talking about how CRKT has the best designers in the world.

[@Yogisaurus]

Im here just waiting for the Tops Mini FMS to drop from now on.

[@JiriMachovec]

Honestly, the most interesting for me was the last traditional Case slip joint. Just to be clear, I am the type of guy who carries a Böker Kalashnikov OTF of all knives but this slip joint has reminded me of a WW2 Gerlach RGMe I recently got my hands on in an old tool haul and I absolutely love it. Sadly I didn't find it for sale in Europe.

[@Naptosis]

Oooh where in Europe are you permitted to carry such a weapon of mass destruction? 😉

[@theKashConnoisseur]

The Case Razor definitely piqued my interest. I don't think I'd actually carry it though. Seems more of a collector's piece, like most Case knives.

[@JiriMachovec]

@@theKashConnoisseur Here in the Czech republic you can carry a gun if you want. Sure you need a permit but its not that much of a problem to get one. Just pass the test proving you can handle the gun safely and answer the questions about gun law. Knives are not limited at all, at least to the best of my knowledge. I believe you might be thinking about laws in England or somewhere similar but that is not the case at all in the central/western Europe. It is even possible to acquire certain set of firearms without a permit around here. If you are interested maybe have a look at Detonics derringer (.45 and .50 cal) or Alfa 9mm flobert revolvers. Both are possible to buy without a permit and carry for personal defence around here. All you have to do is to register the gun. I personally own a 6mm flobert revolver which is not suitable for self defence but I can use it for target practice in my yard. No shooting range needed.

[@JiriMachovec]

@@theKashConnoisseur Maybe not every day but on a special occation. At least for my needs a utility knife is a better tool anyway but it would be nice to have a good looking traditional knive on some occasions.

[@jeffcon123]

The banter wharnie for SURE…. But that case Barlow thing looks great too… couple of good looking blades.. still praying one day spyderco will remake the super hawk.. I’ve wanted one for ever

[@RaccoonTactical]

wish they would do the bulltusk in either a button lock or crossbar

[@nunninkav]

I love the Asian girl taking pics of Zac. 😊 When it gets warmer, Zac and Jamie should get a go pro and go use some of those water knives and the buckmaster 2.

[@ruslanbuznyk2978]

Was waiting for couple comments from mr Booth himself, while spot him walking around)

[@Mo.89.]

Did you check out Boker? They killed it this year!

[@Rollerman87]

I've only recently found this channel. It's been so helpful, as I'm not super familiar with pocket knives. Where does Kershaw rank in the EDC knife world? I have two of them and I like them

[@Naptosis]

Welcome! Kershaw were flagging a little, but they've released some bangers recently!

[@theKashConnoisseur]

Kershaw is a solid pocket knife brand. They tend to be a bit more on the affordable side so not of lot of premium steels, handle materials, and locking mechanisms. But they offer consistent quality for a fair price, which is 99% of what you want in an EDC knife. Kershaw has a higher-end line of knives under the brand "Zero Tolerance" or ZT, and through that brand they do offer several premium knives with all the fancy steels, handles, and features that connoisseurs desire.

[@cintage]

That Padawan looks like a mixture between the Moyarl and the Pyrite. 😅 Kinda like those single-handed Case slipjoint.

[@maika0staretza]

omg Zac have you forsaken Spydero and all those new things and innovations ? :))))))

[@zacinthewild]

Just ran out of time😁

[@dennisleonard2137]

Best knife video of the show Zac, and I think I've watched them all. BTW, I wear a long beard so I always close the top button on a collared shirt too.

[@orendz7740]

11:49 this knife reminds me of the Kunwu Padre

My cheap Rapala rubber-handled filet knife has cut up fish from Canada to Minnesota to Colombia to Korea- no complaints ever. Don’t need an expensive one.

I'm calling it right now, Homefront is gonna be the new Rat2 minus the price 8:05

[@TonyCarlo-zy3hq]

Love the new 710 but hate the price, I saw for just the regular on blade hq it’s over 400. That’s just outrageous.

[@BrewCityRider]

Really enjoy your style of coverage at these shows. What's with the humongous backpack though? Just kidding, but really, what's up with that?

[@thundercell13]

Ok was kizer not at shot show? I saw their prototype at blade show last year where they are releasing a crossbar that doubles with a spine lock and wanted to see if there was anymore info about that knife at shot show but I haven’t seen a single person post a video from shot show showing anything about kizer. Also seen clips of bestech cicada’s wing and that knife looks pretty promising with its slim design, crossbar lock and good shaped sheepfoot blade shape

[@The4cp]

I need more big budget knifes! I grew up with the Buck 110 and Recon 1. No one wants to do that size anymore, let alone affordable.

[@vasya_trubkin]

Watches❤

[@THExDUDEx8624]

Case knives have never really been my style of knives. That being said, I am really impressed with the new designs. They can come out with newer styles but still keep cases identity.

[@kevinsong4857]

What company is mentioned at 8:30?

[@glassmw9823]

Great vid! Benchmade prices are just too much…sounds like they stole Spyderco’s salt series idea as well.

[@Ensensu2]

Elaboration on the knife in the thumbnail starts at 6:45 for those interested.

[@asherrose6594]

Did spyderco not show anything there?

[@theKashConnoisseur]

They had plenty new stuff, BladeHQ did some decent coverage of it.

[@tgonzalez1983]

Did Demko have anything new? To me, benchmade brought the heat. At least 2 models I want for sure. Bestechman has a couple budget models I liked too.

[@1980JPA]

Demco had a magnacut AD20 with a kinda harpoon blade shape that is a Knifecenter exclusive and also a smaller fixed blade that comes in an upper and lower tier. If their other fixed blade is too big for some, the other is more utility sized.

[@Tj-ck4vv]

Crkt Minnow is way awesome!

[@melvinchamberlin823]

Sure I got a comment not on this nice you're showing here but I got a boot knife and I want to know how the heck he puts a sharp in them double-edged blades on that boot knife cuz it has a groove right down the middle of it and my knife sharpener will not stay clamped on it keeps popping all and please tell me the best thing to buy to sharpen because I like to use a thing where you just put I got a night diamond sharpener but it won't stay on and it keeps coming off popping off and you can't tie in too tired because you know you strip the screws out please tell me the best thing to buy sharpen at boot knife if you would please have a good day sir

3:14 very skeptical of the benchmade Bali being made for flippers...until I see it in the hands of some known flippers I will be doubting how great it is. But regardless they're the OG makers of balisongs, so cool I guess 🤷‍♀️

[@richardstone5241]

Cool blade design does NOT mean good FUNCTIONALITY! IMO, most of the knives being produced today are cool but are not very useable. When your life may depend on your blade, cool is the last thing you need.

Benchmade is gay, they destroy firearms, i used to live by them

[@theKashConnoisseur]

When you look into the story more than surface level, it's not like you're making it out. They were willing to destroy some firearms that their local police collected from a buyback. They did it as a form of support for their local cops, and not because they have anything against firearms or 2A rights. They did it the one time, it's not a service they offer 24/7/365.
