Wow! Thank you for making a segment out of my idea. I feel honored. And the first one really is a gem, because slip joints are my favorite category. I'm always leaning toward minimalism and simplicity. Hardly waiting for your future presentations of such hidden treasures.

Another advantage of the sabre height grind is that there's a nice big flat area to mount the blade centered in the clamp of a fixed angle sharpener.

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

One of the best reasons there is different blade grind patterns is that it gives DCA and Thomas another reason to make videos and answer questions. Of all the knife guys (and gals) on KZbin, the Knifecenter duo of Nessmukman and Reversetantoboy are clearly the winning Superhero pair.

Great show. You guys are the reason for numerous knife purchases I've made... Could you guys do a 'Chicago Compliant' show featuring blade lengths of up to 2.5inches. I will continue to carry whatever I want here, but I'm interested in what would be considered 'legal' by city law.

[@kncochran1]

Hey DCA and Thomas. You guys are the highlight of my Saturday afternoons. Wondering what the best cutting board material is both from a performance standpoint and to cause the least wear to rhe blade. Thanks

[@realbroggo]

While I don't claim to be an expert, my preference has always been wood. Relatively easy to maintain, generally easy on your blade edge and looks good. The only real issue to manage with wood is hygiene. All woods absorb moisture to some extent. The absorption of moisture can 1) breed bacteria & 2) weaken/ deteriorate the wood. As long as you select appropriate woods, clean your board immediately after use and keep it oiled you should be fine. I have a 15 year old red gum board that's still going strong - just the occasional sanding (to keep it flat) and oiling (to help repel moisture). Probably can't get red gum in the US (I'm from Australia). More universally available woods that make good boards include maple, walnut & birch. Plastic boards are probably also knife safe but I just don't like the risk of small bits of plastic potentially ending up in my food. Definitely avoid stone (eg. marble), glass and ceramic - these will definitely damage your edges. We'll see if DCA offers up anything else. Hope this helps.

[@anthonycampos7417]

For the RealSteel made slipjoint it basically is a double detent style lock but don't think of it as a hole in the blade tang the detent fits in. It's more like an O with 2 V shaped slots on opposite ends the detent can fit in. Kinda looks like an orbit. It's very cool

[@edharrington8577]

Greetings from Richmond, VA! I was wondering if you could do a feature on friction folders? I appreciate their elegance, ease of use and history. With all these hi-tech locks and opening mechanisms, sometimes it is nice to just carry a simple friction folder.

Hey Dave, just you to know about a problem I am having with button lock flippers. On more than one occasion the knife has opened in.my pocket without me knowing. In 2 instances I cut myself reaching into my pocket. Also doesn't matter the brand, its happened to me with a drop bear, and a couple of other brands. The flippier, the more dangerous!!! YMMW

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

I might be wrong but my saber ground Endura is hollow grind. This adds to the potential sharpness of that grind design. Difficult to see in the video if the Emerson Wave version is flat or hollow saber ground.

[@casualcanoer2426]

I’d suggest the Vosteed Corgi and/or Corgi Pup as a budget-friendly alternative to the Cormorant (second-to-last question). It’s got a button lock and the lighter-style opening mechanism. I have the Pup and love it.

Choose you addictions wisely because the wrong habits can be costly, right now, it may only be videos of knives, but that can so easily turn on you, and you'll begin clicking on the buy button, then the order may grow and grow until you have several high quality knives with new steel and new colors, before you know it, it's your birthday, or Christmas and you're buying presents for yourself and loved ones and your desk looks like you own a blade store of your own. I know this feeling well, and it's great. Enjoy yourself and the collecting knives or just the videos of knives, you have to start somewhere and you came to the right place.

Hi David, What knives could be used to lift the tab on a can of soda without opening a tool or using the blade?

[@blahblahbob1000]

Recommendation for arthritic hands? An older family member has trouble with fine-motor dexterity because of knuckles that don't bend very far, which makes most knives effectively too short in the blade-apex-to-spine axis to get a solid grip as the user's fingers cannot close down far enough. The constraints: A) lock: single-handed (open and close) locking system that can be easily actuated by non-dexterous fingers, which is roughly analogous to being operable by a gloved hand. Finger-safe strongly preferred. Button locks have worked the best to date, as crossbar and Shark lock knives have required too much fine-motor accuracy, strength, and timing to work well. Manual action strongly preferred, though DA OTFs might work as a last resort at the expense of potentially intimidating other nearby folks. B) size: 1.5-4" of blade, handle can be oversized C) type: folding with a pocket clip, as it needs to be safely one-hand closeable and stowable without looking, so a fixed blade or sheath-requiring option would be a significant compromise D) weight:

[@MB-jg4tr]

I have a couple of antique knives (a Scout knife made by Imperial, and a Japanese-made Hobo/SAK with saw, scissors, corkscrew, plus a fork and spoon) that have a full flat grind which is only sharpened on one side. The result is almost like a Scandi edge. It feels strong, but still slices well. My question: Are there any modern, high-end knives with this type of grind?

[@MB-jg4tr]

Chisel grind

[@realbroggo]

You're referring to a chisel grind. Only sharpened on one side. Emerson is well known for using chisel grinds. Not sure of any other modern brands that regularly use chisel grinds. Japanese kitchen knives often use chisel grinds - this is outside my wheelhouse so I don't know any brands. You're right regarding strength. All things being equal chisel grinds create strong stable edges and are relatively easy to sharpen (as you're only sharpening one bevel). Only draw back is that the asymmetrical shape makes it difficult to get a straight cut. When pushing/cutting through material the blade will try to drift towards the flat side. Hope this helps.

[@fancyhitchpin8675]

On new knives this week you mentioned the nesmuk trio. I was wondering if you could expound on the kansept and it's doctrine of use. One question I had specifically is, why a double bit?

Hi DCA and the Crew! I don't mean to discredit a decent blade on KnifeCenter channel, but recently I have concluded that if one lives in the city and works at the office, a good pair of scissors comes in handy more often than a good knife. Are there any small stand-alone models or scissors-focused tools you could recommend?

Cutting fishing line if it’s braid or mono makes a big difference. I would drill a hole in the back of the knife and attach a lanyard if you have to jump in the water.

Asking a question for, hopefully, the next KnifeAQ. I live a South East Asian country, so most of the things from the US arent available here. I do see a lot of Kershaws, Spydercos, Civivis, and Cold Steels. I was wondering, what would be the best EDC I could get from the less popular non-USA-made knives of these manufacturers. I've seen the Kershaw Brookside, amongst other budget knives, for example on a page somewhere, which is under 30$, but have not seen on Knife Center videos. Hope you could help. :)

[@StoicSnail]

Hi DCA, my long-time barber has got a lot of old straight razors, double-edge razors and other metal tools. He told me about the idea to give them to a knife maker he knows to melt them down and make a custom knife. He asked me which blade shape do I think would work the best to maintain the connection of the knife to the source parts. I'm thinking something simple and slightly elegant with a straight edge (wharncliffe/sheepsfoot) or American tanto. Do you have any other ideas and maybe some examples for a fixed blade 4-5 inches long? Thank you and cheers from Slovakia.

[@goodthiefphoto]

Hi Team! I'm looking for a folder with a flipper tab (preferably not a front flipper) but with a button or crossbar lock and finally with a full flat grind.

[@chikendrumstick]

Hey DCA, I had a question about chisel grinds. Mainly, what are the practical use cases for a chisel grind. Why might a company like Emerson favor them for their mostly “tactical” models?

[@realbroggo]

All things being equal chisel grinds create strong stable edges. Emerson knives very much have a focus on self-defence. In such scenarios you are not interested in neatness or accuracy but you are interested in reliability, speed and performance (noting that Ernest Emerson also created the 'wave' opening device). I've heard Ernest Emerson state on several occasions that he uses chisel grinds because of the edge & tip strength. Hope this helps.

[@jimkissell1620]

Hello dca and crew. Love the videos. Question: I’m looking for a budget knife that hits above its weight class. I gotta get a present with a $50 cap and I wanna get something classy and elegant. Lock type doesn’t matter, & features do not matter. Doesn’t have to be a “gentlemen” knife, but it’s got to be a conversation starter.

[@pretentiousname01]

Help me DCA and Thomas, your my only hope. I am looking for a pocket fixed blade to use while managing the yard. I have a machete which has done well for the unruly foliage, but I need something to use when I am working around things like the air conditioner, generator, or shed. Things I'm looking for Pocket carry. Highly preferable to not have to buy any additional bits and bobs to make it work Crowned spine preferred. I wont need to do any survival/bush craft stuff with it, so comfort is a bigger priority Sub 50$, though for the right one I could go up a bit. Thanks! looking forward to next week's buried treasure already.

[@realbroggo]

The pocket carry requirement limits things a bit (size wise) - especially for a yard/garden knife. One blade that I regularly use (and love) that might fit the bill is the Ruike Hornet. 3.35" 14C28N blade with kydex sheath. Handle is big enough for full grip (large hands without gloves - closer to 3 fingers with gloves). Only issue is that it comes with a belt mount only - this is easily removed and while the blade can slip in your pocket, if you want some stability adding an Ulticlip or similar is easy. If this is too big, another knife I have might fit the bill - the QSP Canary Neck Knife. 2.5" 14C28N blade with kydex sheath. This doesn't come with a retention option so, again an Ulticlip might help. Both knives use 14C28N which is stainless, very tough & easy to maintain - very suitable for yard & garden work. Hope this helps.

[@pretentiousname01]

@@realbroggo watching back through their bushcraft videos and looking around a bit, it seems like I will have to settle for an ulti or something. But one problem i am having while shopping is a lack of good looks at the sheaths. So it can be hard for me as a fixie novice to identify issues there. I will look into those suggestions though

[@realbroggo]

@@pretentiousname01 Fully agree with you regarding sheaths. For me with fixed blades often it is the sheath that makes or breaks the purchase - but you're right that it's hard to get good photos of the sheaths. You get heaps of photos of the knife and maybe one of the sheath. Good luck and & I hope you find something.

[@MB-jg4tr]

Want a highly functional and extremely comfortable to use knife? Try the Morakniv Mora2000. Quality stainless steel, thin compound distal tapered Scandi grind. Best outdoor/camp knife I've ever found. Under $25. Trust me. Just get one you'll find out. 2nd pick: Dexter Russell 4215 "Fish knife" high carbon steel flat grind, walnut wood scales that usually need a little sanding/customizing. This is a tried and true design that's literally hundreds of years old, and is basically the standard frontier knife many peoples great great grandparents used for everything. Around $25. Doesn't come with a sheath, but the BPS dangler sheath fits it perfectly. Both of these fit a small/medium hand well. Neither of them are "survival" strength pry bar thick, which you really don't want in a knife despite the current fad/trend. Skills give you the best chance of surviving, not an indestructible sharpened pry bar with less than ideal geometry. These are knives that take a keen edge easily and slice very well. Both are strong enough for reasonable knife use, just don't pry with them. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get a great knife, and anyone that really uses knives a lot and knows will second these recommendations. Cheers.

[@realbroggo]

Benchmade knives are expensive everywhere!! Before proceeding you really need to think about what you want from the knife. The three options you have listed are all quite different and have very different uses. If you're after a lightweight, simple & easy to use knife then the Bugout is for you. If you're after something more hard-use with a larger blade then the 940 Osborne will do nicely. If you want an out-the-front auto then the Shootout is the one you want. As a general statement you cannot go wrong with a Benchmade (as long as you accept their price). They are well made and most offer good materials and options. However, before buying one and to avoid disappointment, take some time to think of your knife needs then go back to their catalogue and have a look to see what meets your needs best. Hope this helps.

[@jakass]

[@behindthewolfseyes]

If you like a shake-it-out kinetic opening, the saber ground blade is slightly heavier, but you can wear out the lock on Spydercos doing that. I think the FFG matches the lateral strength of the lockback, while the saber blade will last longer than the lock under abuse. The cutting feel is a little different going through different materials between the two, such as different feathersticking characteristics or easier thin pepperoni slicing. I don't think the Endura has been done in fully serrated FFG, but other models have.
