KnifeCenter FAQ #1: Screwdriver Multi-Tools, How To Sharpen Convex Edges, More

[@jpshipwash6240]

Tell you what I really like about your channel, which I only just found. Your content is spot on, which is obviously a plus. But what I appreciate also is that you don’t come out of the gate trying to be cooler and hipper than all the others. Straightforward narration, without affectation, is always a plus in my book. Thanks for your work and your expertise.

[@knifecenter]

JP, I really appreciate your kind words. We work hard to hit the exact notes that you have mentioned, so I am glad it comes across. Cheers! -DCA

[@7ali7]

Awesome! Honestly one of the most underrated KZbin channels out there, I watch your videos to finish the day with a smile on my face 😃 so whatever happens in life just know that you're having a positive influence somewhere in the world 👍👊

[@knifecenter]

Thank you for the kind words Al! -DCA

[@-ius-6502]

I’m so into learning all I can about blades; I’ve watched the FAQs for a long time but I missed the beginning of it since I just got heavy into blades 9 months ago. Thank you for all this content

[@doubleoddbuck00]

Love the Gerber Armbar

[@iwontpostvideos6]

Victorinox tinker is compact with a phillips screwdriver. Loving this!

[@BennyBladez-]

I agree with you David. Needs a lock for the bit driver and it also could use a pocket clip for quick easy access with it in proper orientation for one hand use.

[@proctor9443]

you are so dedicated and committed to this videos, my congrats

[@SnuffyB123]

Your presentation is very good, very descriptive and complete leaving no question (Plus you want to buy them all when your done:)

[@LazyBoy212]

Brand new to the knife world and trying to learn as much as possible before buying a few started knives. I was wondering if you have already done a video on types of steel, I often hear this type will hold an edge better or this will last longer but I am unsure what the exact pros/cons are and how the different types stack up against each other in performance/durability. I would even appreciate just a website or company that you think does a good job of thoroughly and correctly explaining the differences. THANKS!

[@oscr_zen]

Great idea! This series will be great :) My question: Can You suggest some inexpensive budget folder with the axis lock? I cant afford those benchmades master pieces yet :)

I just got the gunny for bushcraft in 3v steel, what’s your thoughts on it I have not done a lot of bush crafting but I am good with my knives, I do a lot of widderling or however you spell it lol, I did have the benchmade budget in s30 v I do love the sheath on it!!! But s30v in the bush I heard need a lot of care?

Thank you David, very cool new segment. I really enjoyed it. Could you please give me your views on an all around camp knife that can do kitchen duty and some light tasks around camp.Thanks again.

[@aztec999999]

Love this segment idea. More please

[@AbsoluteSeo]

How about a video on David's favorite knives, or knife collection

[@all.how.actual]

Kershaw Shuffle or Select Fire would’ve been good options with Phillis screwdrivers as well.

[@oscr_zen]

[Question!] :] From someone who saw so many cool blades, *What is the most fidget friendly folding knife?* probably an axis lock / non assisted. I think thats an interesting question, You could show a bunch of them.

[@imJMatik]

I can definately recommend Gerber armbar. I've had mine for a few weeks now. The screwdriver is awesome and I haven't had any problems with it being not lockable. Action of the knife is quite awful though. It is stiff and the hole used to deploy it is next to useless.

[@kevinwelker8486]

Great questions. Very interesting and well executed.

[@JohnC29]

Victorinox used to make a Yeoman. It was two layer with Phillips screw driver that opened parallel to the blade. It was awesome that a thin knife had scissors, corkscrew, can/bottle opener/flat head driver, main blade and phillips driver. Better than compact and spartin

[@randyscj429]

Hello D.C.A., Thanks for the info on the convex edge sharpening, as I'd always wondered about that especially when nobody else that I know of has covered that. I think that Worksharp has come out w/a pocket concave sharpener, is it a good choice?? Take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊 P.S.: I'd been asked by my Chiropractor what I was going to do for this 3 day weekend and I said that I'm at the recognized poverty level and on my income I can't do much of anything!😢 I then mentioned that I'm soooo poor that "I can't even afford to pass gas, that when the urge hits I'm only able to destitoot" (for those who are a bit thicker: "Destitute"!)!!!🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He really liked that one btw, it's when my head sees or hears something, 10 sec. later I'll find out about the joke, that's just how it works. Every now and then they have to be reworded, but all of which are repeatable!!! Better that way. L8TR!!!

[@stevenedminster1442]

Just actually purchased the armbar off eBay few days ago. Definitely nice little package. Pocket clip comment was my only thing....

Enjoyed the segment and would like to understand al, the tips we may miss as knife lovers, it would be great to find information easily on each of the knife makers blade angles somewhere as this can be very hard to find, unless of course I am missing this completely. Again David Thank you

[@brettp_DO]

I’m new to the knife world. What is the consensus on using pull through knife sharpeners for field sharpening?

[@danielwendell542]

I'm a bit loathe to put most of my knives through one; most either remove a slice or material to sharpen and have fixed blade angles that I don't agree with. I would toss a stone in your bag, use the diamond dust file on a Leatherman, or get used to sharpening on other things you may have like ceramics or a belt used as a strop. Edge maintenance is key!

I have a question...what the heck is the knife center symbol??? It looks likes a fan blade. What does it represent?

[@riteshtandon8701]

Hey been a long time viewer and a recent customer. I would love for you guys to make a must have collectora edition. Knives like ontario rat 1 and 2, crkt squid, kershaw leek, civivi elementum, spyderco para 2 or 3, benchmade bugout mini or regular.... etc etc... there is a staple model of each brand that you can talk about and suggest for new knife enthusiasts

[@brentjacobs7083]

I think a belt sharpener like the ken onion also creates a convex when used or in that guys case wont mess one up.

Dave, I need lefty solutions, so I can buy more knives! Do you guys partner with or have a solution for someone who wants a handle drilled and tapped for a reversible pocket clip? Dying to buy more high end knives, but I want to carry it the way I want to carry it. Thank you, love the idea for the new knife spot too.

[@zsombordonko6459]

Question: what is good about tanto blades? Is there any task where they are the Best?

[@Surago]

Dude I love them for everything. You get two tips. I like using the 45 at the two edges to open packages and you can use the smaller side edge for scrapping. And of course the main part of the blade for any close detail work. You get a fine true tip for poking or detail stuff. They are great edges and at first I liked them for their design until I was sold on belly’s on knives but seeing as how I don’t need a belly for anything in my edc tasks I went back to tanto and I don’t want anything else.

Good idea.

[@davidpalmer9014]

The sharpening question was actually mine. The funny thing is I emailed Ben Abbott from Forged in Fire, and shockingly he replied. He says he uses a whetstone for convex edges. Maybe you can get away with it if you are a master bladesmith.

Why aren't there more knife center exclusives in orange? It's hard finding even moderately popular knives in orange, let alone a bright orange. The manix 2 is a dream knife for me so when the Rex45 came out I was stoked and finally bought one, and hated it the second I saw it in person. The orange scales on the rex 45 Manix 2 are more of a brown than a really bright orange, which is super disappointing for me as someone who loves orange. Would love to see more knives with orange handles and black blades!

[@knifecenter]

Good bit of orange on our exclusives. Our new orange SOG Aegis AT is esp nice: kcoti.com/3k2aoVu

[@Squatch-sj3vg]

@@knifecenter I would argue that statement is inaccurate, if you search on knifecenter.com for "knifecenter exclusive orange" you'll see that you do offer some high end production/semi custom offerings in "orange" and a couple of pens but the only truly orange exclusive you have is the aegis and the real steel. When I say I want to see more orange, what I mean is plain blaze orange handles with black coated blades lol if I could get an Ontario rat 1 or rat 1a, a PM2, an Osborne, pretty much anything in black and orange I'd buy it! It's just such a hard combo to get from the factory cause only weirdos like me want it for some reason, and unrelated but I hate serrations as well lol
