A fixed blade in my experience is still the best one hand opening knife.

[@GBall_Vision]

Agreed and that's what I was thinking. I'd keep a fixed blade with fire strike capability (Mora,Esee) and a folding knife as a back up. As for thinking about it. I'd just carry a ferro rod with a striker. The striker wouldn't weigh anything so even a hiker would carry it if needed

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

Not to mention the forever lock is still the strongest on the market, despite being several millennia old!

The RAT 1 or 2 has a good crisp spine and is economical. The 1 might be a little heavy but the 2 is pretty light.

[@oddsavage]

Came here to say just this. I went to my camp pack, pulled out my R2-D2 and looked at it just to make sure... I don't believe their are many questions in the folding knife world where an Ontario RAT isn't a good answer.

Byrd Knives are good one hand openers with sharp spines and most have tall flat grinds great for food prep. Pretty cheap and lightweight weight too. Great for carrying backpacking and if you lose it in the woods you won't freak out.

[@msullenszino]

For camping a fixed blade always seems so much easier and more functional, but I also carry a Svord Peasant. For a backup camping knife it is great. Easy to take apart and clean, thin yet tough blade for food prep and utility cutting, you can strike a ferro rod on the spine or tang (again, I'd use a fixed blade over any folding knife here), etc. It isn't a universal tool or knife, but for camping I like it better than the Opinel.

[@joeblerone]

Wish there was a blade style search right up front when I open shop folding knives. Can select lock type and blade steel. Wish there was a way to just search a blade style like sheepsfoot and then get to see all the options available. Keep up the great vids!

The Cold Steel SR1 out of the box has a crisp spine and can strike a ferro rod. At least the one I have does. I have the s35 clip point model. I know it’s a large folder. Especially compared to the dossier and opinel. It also may not be the best option for food prep due to blade geometry and just sheer thickness. But it can do the job. Just thought I’d mention this option

[@MattSpinks]

For one hand opening and a spine so crisp it can cut you try a Cold Steel Code 4. S35vn, too. Very slim, one hand closing, and just a very comfy and somewhat elegant looking knife considering it's inherent toughness and proportions.

[@dutchanimal010]

For the camper, Ontario RATs are a pretty great option. The satin blades have super crisp spines, and with D2 / Aus-8 can pick between more edge retention or more stain resistance. I also think it has amazing opening action for the price point and construction.

[@rays1495]

Can here to say this, crisp spine and a great choice.

[@shaunsorensen8471]

Hi David. A rabbit hole question if I may. With folding knives using more 'exotic' blade steels more frequently, this suggests [to me] an ability for "hard(er) use." That un-defined sliding scale no one can agree upon. That said, why then do knives still implement the same liner, stop pin & locking mechanism materials, eg: 440. Would they not benefit from steels more inline with the blade (M4 for example) for reduced wear in order maintain their initial tolerances over time? Thank you to everyone involved in getting these videos out for us. Appreciate your work ;)

[@Cid_1]

Byrd Cara Cara 2 Lightweight or the Harrier 2 will be a great cheap option for food prep, and with a few min with some sandpaper or a small flat diamond stone will have it throw sparks in no time.

[@tompeltoma8531]

For the Opinel replacement, the Steel Will Piercer hits the mark for one hand opening, food prep, and sharp spine for ferro rod. Just misses the mark on price.

Re: Solingen Randalls - W. D. "Bo" Randall got a famous name from WWII soldiers wanting one of his knives to replace the Ka-bar (or Camillus) fighting knives because the quality of a hand made forged knife was SO MUCH better quality than factory knives at the time. After the war, Randall's fame grew as top outdoors professionals started using his knives, and such famous luminaries as African professional hunter Peter Capstick gave praise to the knives. By the time of Vietnam, special warfare had progressed as well as battle technologies, and many soldiers wanted a heavy duty knife they could depend on more than standard government issue (often from the lowest bidder.) Because Randall Made Knives were hand forged, it took considerable time to produce them, and the demand far out-stripped the production ability of their shop. As a way to produce more knives that would be as close to Randall hand-forged quality, Randall made a deal with manufacturers in Solingen, Germany to produce blades for Randall. A big part of the Solingen Randalls today is that they were only made for a limited time, and a Solingen Randall knife (while likely not quite as high quality as a genuine Orlando made Randall) will often be 15% - 40% higher in value.

Hey, DCA, it's been a little weedy around here, could you go into the differences in linen vs canvas vs ? micarta?

[@tunturikuningas5393]

Yeah I want to know more about micarta too

[@masonrains5010]

It’s in the name. Linen micarta is made of linen, canvas micarta is canvas.

[@Zahnstantinople]

@@masonrains5010 obviously. I was meaning more pro/cons differences of the materials/finished products

[@jerrypomroy2375]

All micartas come down to finish and material. For finish you’ve got matte and polished & in between. Matte will increase the “tackiness”, while the higher polished, less tacky. For material, you’ve typically got linen (small weave), canvas (medium weave) and burlap (larger weave). You’ve also got materials such as denim which would probably fall somewhere between linen & canvas I would guesstimate. So for example, a polished linen isn’t going to be as tacky in the hand as a matte burlap. But all micarta will get grippier when wet. My understanding is that has to do with a combination of the material fibers swelling (much like wood) & resin itself used to fuse the layers of material just becoming tackier when wet. My 2 cents. Not an expert. So take it as you will. But hope that helps.

Question for FAQ #63 - Happy Holidays, DCA! What folding knife would you recommend for using at a fine steak house? I guess this would fall under the "gentleman's" EDC category. Price can range from $100-$200 to ensure good steel with solid edge retention. I ask because I recently had a nice meal for Thanksgiving and the knives they supplied our party with were just not all that impressive when it came to their one and only job - slicing through the tender meat we ordered. Thanks for all the content!

[@brettwarner719]

Love how people are already demanding more Magnacut. Everyone also needs to understand that Crucible, the producer, has also just released their iteration of their knife steels in S45VN. So the fact that a new steel designed outside their company has come out and really taken the knife enthusiast by storm doesn't mean they wont be pushing their own internally designed steel.

Asked this question last kniFAQ & looking for some input from the masses… I’m thinking of getting a couple of the guys at work pocket knives for Xmas. I’ve probed each of them a bit and come up with the following. One likes flipper knives with a hunting/tactical/somewhat burly vibe. One likes knives with a crossbar style lock or keeps the fingers out of the path of the blade. One likes knives with partial serrations and quick one handed deployment. I’d like to stay within the $30-$50 range for each but get them the best bang for my buck. In my research so far I’ve come up with the following (any/all suggestions or thoughts welcomed)… Flipper with somewhat burly vibe… Kershaw Natrix 3.25”, CRKT Pilar? Crossbar/Pivot lock… CRKT BT Fighter, SOG Terminus XR? Quick deploying/partial serrations… CRKT M16, Boker Rescue Knife, possibly even Rat 1or2?

Hi, I do really like well manufactured knives, but I don't appreciate that hunt for edge retention. I really do like steels with fine structure I can easily maintain, so I do enjoy 4116 or 5cr15mov more than M390. Can you recommend where to go for upgrade in steel or where to get knife from those steel but without those "budget flaws" in fit, finish design etc... ? Let's say about 200$. Thank you

[@rockets4kids]

I think the best you'll find are the Spyderco knives in LC200N.

Are you talking about kitchen knifes? Or folders or fixed blades. If kitchen knifes there's tons of options using those steels. I know a lot of Cold Steels more affordable knives come in 4116, and build quality is usually great. I really love my Tuff Lite & Tuff Lite mini which come in both 4116 and AUS-8, highly recommend those. Muela makes som beautiful knifes in 4116.

It seems I prefer a niche that's never really addressed by manufacturers the small "traditionalish" locking flipper instead they just keep copying each other ie. Case Marilla. I bought a benchmade mini crooked river which vibes well with me but ideally it would be a bit smaller, slimmer.

I had thought about that but two things made me think twice - for one, there is very little spine that sticks out (so might not even have enough room to mount the stud) and also, the handles are so big and round (in a good way) that it also might interfere with getting your thumb in there.
