I know Thanksgiving's a little confusing, so I'll try to break it down for you. It's the day we celebrate the freeing of the United States from the reign of terror of Lord Gobble, a 50-foot tall turkey/Sasquatch hybrid who demanded human sacrifices every November. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln rode his eagle- gryphon into battle, singlehandedly slaying Lord Gobble and freeing us from our blood oath to our fearsome tyrant. In celebration of this momentous victory, we consume the corpses of his descendants and parade our largest and most influential cartoon characters through the streets of New York as a display of power, so that history will not repeat itself. Hope that clears things up.

Thanks for picking my question! You gave me a lot to think about, all are awesome choices!

Santa should carry a 940 for cleaning hooves, as Osborne was a rancher and the back of the reverse tanto was intended for cleaning hooves out, as far as the stories I've heard anyways.

I love the finger choil on the Mini Praxis, it's one reason I often choose it for my small blade EDC. Really allows for a good grip and helps get a lot more leverage out of that little thing.

Happy Holidays KnifeCenter! I've recently begun adding to my knife collection I started as a kid (largely in part due to these videos), but I seem to have a problem. I don't really have a need for knives. What are some things I can start doing to make use of my recent purchases?

[@realbroggo]

When selecting a hunting blade I recommend a plastic or kydex sheath. Much much easier to clean out than leather or nylon webbing style. Leather & nylon webbing will absorb blood etc and begin to smell. Like the knives here - go for orange to make the blade easier to find if dropped. I like the Kansbol but if you don't know how to maintain a scandi grind the Revo might be better as you can use a pull through sharpener with it. (I know pull through sharpeners can be the devil's work but they do allow for rapid sharpening if your blade goes dull while processing an animal.) Sharp blades all.

[@adamjames1375]

Check out Smith's DCS4 ... it's a double diamond that stows in the handle, I've had two & use them almost exclusively for all sharpening that doesn't need the belt sander. Great for light touch ups/alignment but can also hog a bit of steel if you need it to. Highly recommend & only like $20.

Happy holidays to the knife center crew. I am a US Merchant Marine Navigational Officer, who still uses a pen daily. I’d like to get a nice pen, preferably corrosion resistant, for all my logbook needs. Half the day is nice and dry on the bridge, but the other half is down and dirty on deck in the salt, rust, and weather. I carry the pilot G-6 07mm, because I love how smoothly it writes, but I’m open to other types of pen refills as long as they are a smooth writer too. No price limit. Thanks! P.S. for a work knife I carry the spyderco tusk, it’s a shame they discontinued that model.

The answer to knife sharpening I realized on the boat with Fillet Knives. Walmart, in the fishing department sells plastic sheathed ultra sharp 7" fillet knives for around 2 bucks each. Buy ten and you are good in the utility drawer for the most of the rest of you life. Just did the turkey the other day better than any knife I ever used.

New viewer here! Love the videos, lots to learn! What are some knife suggestions for people who are just getting into knife collecting? One of my favorites so far is the Cold Steel Recon 1 with the Western Tanto style blade and I was looking for similar but different options

[@Alexander210]

I have always suggested that new knife containers should start small and not go high end off the bat. This allows you to figure out what you like and don't like. Grind. Handle material. Blade shape. Blade style, etc. For the price of a expensive knife, you can buy multiple knives and enjoy! When you feel it's ready to pull the trigger on a knife that's hefty in price, you can then weigh in on if you might like it or not. ❤️

I like tactical pens because i can use the tungsten carbide window breaker as a scribe for metal work without having another tool and also puncture tape saving the edge of the knife.

Interestingly enough, the choil on the mini praxis is one of my favorite features, allowing a solid and precise grip.

DCA, Years ago, I fell in love with the OKC Rat 1. It is my only folding pocket knife, and has traveled with me everywhere. It has spent many days out in the woods with me. I use it so much the texture on the scales have worn smooth. I really like the shape and feel in my hand. But I think its time to add a new member to the family. What would you recommend? I would like to stay under 100 if at all possible, and not opposed to trying a different locking mechanism.

Those straight razors look fabulous. Anybody thinking of adjusting their shaving habits from disposable style systems I personally can recommend the craft, it's wonderful to spend a bit of extra time looking after myself rather than just rushing through the shaving experience. These razors and double edge blades make you slow down and pay attention, every man should know the shape of his own face and the method by which he can cut back his trim.

Howdy, David! Many thanks to YOU and the KC crew this season. Question - What is your recommendation for a wine/cheese and picnic knife? I find some blades are good for slicing, some for dicing, some for spreading. But is there a knife that handles bread, cheese, fruit, sausage, and spreads equally well? Bonus points for bottle opener or corkscrew. Be well. Bob Fitz -

[@jasonlundy6852]

I just recently purchased a Condor Woodbuster. It’s amazing and I like it a lot. It is a slightly larger than average blade in both length and thickness. I tried to run it through my worksharp ken onion edition with little luck to sharpen the edge. Is there a better set up and method to sharpen this beast? As always I hope you and the knife center family are doing well. Long live the reverse tanto! Lol

Of course, the teachers didn't think anything was odd about using a fountain pen in school.

A lot of hunters are moving to smaller knives. I pretty much only use my Esee Izula in S35V. I rarely see anyone busting out a big fixed blade or for that matter guthooks. I think a lot of hunters are realizing just how much you can get done and how accurate and controlled you are with a 3 inch or so fixed blade or havalon.

[@jonathanprice9212]

Hi, been watching for a couple years now. My question is, can you review the Gerber wood craft hatchet? I'm not sure if you have review it yet. All the big box outdoor stores seem to have only the longer handle one and not the shorter handle in stock. A comparison to other brands or models would be nice too. I will use it on camping, hunting fishing and snow-cat assigbments. Thank you.

P.S. i have 4 different razors and i always go back to my grandfather German straight razor form the 40s that my grandparents sent him in the war

[@papik1965]

As always thanks David and Thomas for your review, and wish you both a happy thanksgiving weekend. Re the straight razors; few years back I started to use one (and also collect a few). Didn’t last too long as I kept cutting myself🙄, definitely an art to using correctly. I really like Solingen products, have a switch blade and even nail clippers that I purchased from them. Interesting thing was I also at some point in time bought the Dovo straight razor, but what I found was out of the box the razor was not actually sharp enough to shave, in comparison to an old 1930s vintage (British) razor I’d been using which was DEADLY sharp. I tried to strop the Dovo, but that’s an art within itself. And have to say (from my limited knowledge) that I agree with comments from the barber, Japanese shaving/blade products are excellent…..Feather blades all the way😊. Actually maybe Thomas might do live review of straight razors shaving his beard . What do ya reckon Thomas?😂

[@moleb6341]

Hi DCA, love your videos and the knowledge you share with us. However, I'm not sure about your advice on the Kansbol: As far as I know Mora puts a 20 degree per side secondary bevel on all their knives. They say that's better for general purpose. So if you don't remove that secondary bevel to put a true Scandi on the knife for woodwork, you can sharpen the Kansbol like any other knife. (Mine at least seems to keep a razor sharp edge with regular stropping.)Or am I mistaken? Best from Germany, Mo

[@knifecenter]

One can sharpen one of their Scandi edges at a "conventional" angle, because the Scandi angle is more like 12 degrees per side (even though Mora technically puts a super slight hollow grind on their Scandi to make the first sharpen easier). The downside of this, is the thickness of the rest of the Scandi behind the edge will make it less efficient than a hollow or high flat grind. -DCA

[@moleb6341]

@@knifecenter Interesting! Will keep an eye on the possibility of my Moras getting too thick behind the edge! If you're not tired of me yet: Why doesn't Mora put a true Scandi on their knives right away? The steels they use are though enough for that. The 12-degree-Scandi-slight-hollow-grind with a secondary bevel seems unnecessarily laborious (if not counterproductive) to me now. Thank you so much for answering my first question! Best, Mo

Hey, DCA! I'd like to get myself a ESEE JG5. As a nessmuk fan yourself, I'm sure you can appreciate the appeal. The problem is, I'm left handed and I've promised myself that I won't buy any more right-handed knives. While a fixed blade isn't either left or right-handed, the sheath that comes with the JG5 IS right-handed. Any suggestions for a left-handed sheath that will fit the JG5? I'm not opposed to scout carry or cross-draw sheaths, just right-handed sheaths. Help me keep my promise to myself!

My wife loves knives. She wants her own camp knife for processing firewood. It doesn't need to be a multitasking knife, she has her preferred food prep knives. What is a good lightweight knife with adequate length for batoning, a ferro rod spine and confidence inspiring control for debarking and feather sticks? Budget and mid-price options please.

[@LonestarTaoboy]

Why choose the Sencut over the Mini Praxis, well if you are left-handed the Sencut is your friend. If you have a larger hand the Sencut is preferable. If you want to attach a lanyard, again the Sencut. Button lock vs Liner lock your choice.

[@keesdejong3653]

Hi Guys. First off, thank you for all your knife video's. I love watching them, learning and being generally entertained. Much better than prime time TV ;) I'm a knife enthusiast with a small collection ranging from quite a few Extrema Ratio knives to swiss army knives. I just love those pioneers. Lately I started to like knives with folded handles. They're really strong, robust and mostly have flat profiles, great for city carry. My Question: What is that construction called officially? I find it hard to search for knives not knowing what that build style is called. Do you have a/some recommendations maybe? I own: a Coldsteel Pocket Bushman, 3 sizes Higonokami folders, a Boker Atlas Black, a Mercator Black cat knife(K55K) and 2 Mercator variants made by the new K55K owner Otter and of course the French Douk-Douk is represented. I'd like to expand with more new makes and models. Anything you (or anyone else reading my comment) could recommend would be awesone.

[@mitchelharrison4177]

As far as price point goes, what would you consider to be the “Point of Diminishing Returns” for folders, and for fixed blades? What knife models best represent this point in your opinion?

[@jb7707]

For a folder I would say it's around $120 to $150 you can get many spyderco knives, benchmades or houge for that range. To me a native 5 or a bugout can be had for around this price and you get a great functioning tool without much "unnecessary excess". For fixed blades I would actually say it's more like 70 or 80. You can get a buck 119 or a cold steel srk that would be perfectly adequate for most things. Lionsteel offers many outdoor fixed blades and a great value for premium materials. As far as kitchen fixed blades, Victorinox is king of value.

[@c62west]

Good question.

[@twatmunro]

@@c62west -- Great question, but it's higher here in Europe. If you're wanting a Spyderco or Benchmade that doesn't have plastic handles, you're talking more like 200 euros. That's about the cost of an Osbourne or a Paramilitary 2 in G10. Para 2 in blue G10 with S110v is £210. Hogue EX3 is £213. Also: diminishing returns doesn't mean 'how cheap can you buy a knife for that'll meet your needs'. You can buy an Opinel or a Mora for £10 that'll do what you need. What the question is about is what's the point at which you have to spend a lot more money to get a tiny increase in quality. That's the question that's interesting IMO.

[@adamjames1375]

@@jb7707 I mostly strongly agree with your points, and have used a 119 extensively. I would extend your argument to an Aus8 Rat-1 or 2, as it's very similar to 420 h.c. ...

Hello DCA, this is my first posted question. I have been looking for a US made scout style pocket knife with modern materials. I have my original Camillus cub scout knife but it would break my heart if I broke or lost it while carrying it. I'd like it to include the classic tool set up with a cap lifter/ flat head sd, main drop point blade, can opener, and awl. A Phillips SD would be awesome too. Ive tried to like the Leatherman swiss army alternative, but I can't stand the Philips head on it, it is just too narrow and strips the screws. Swiss army gives you a real Philips, but it isn't US made. WR case used to make a scout knife, but they discontinued it for some reason.

So true. When I got into straight shaving, I knew skimping on strop and stone would be a bad idea. So glad I came to that conclusion - the other thing to not be frugal with is the soap or cream (I prefer cream), as lower-end product just doesn't get a decent lather.

I'm looking to give a a gift to a good friend who is getting married and was thinking about a gentlemans knife. However, he works around Washington DC and i'm not very familair with blade restrictions. Is there a good safe option?

[@Gelattoh]

Hey guys, hoping yall could recommend me a modern slipjoint knife. I love jackwolf knives designs, and the metal bolsters they use. Just too pricy. Anything sub $150 yall would recommend?

[@eddcurry1245]

What about an Ulu? They are very effective sharpe edged tool. Why not review that type of “knife” too?

Hey DCA, I’m looking to get a folding knife with a downward canted blade. Do you have any recommendations for such blades that are under $80?

[@ThakkMylde]

Non knife guy question here. I'm a medical cannabis user and I would like a small blade that I could use for chopping up my flower like back in the old days. I don't want scissors, I want a blade. (A grinder is efficient, but not very Hands-On if that makes sense.) If you could point me in the right direction of where to look, I would appreciate that very much. Thank you. (edit - sub $60 preferably)
