KnifeCenter FAQ #30: Inexpensive American Flippers? + How To Sharpen Serrations, Best Factory Edges

[@nalday07]

Pest control tech here, I carry a wave plus and an air lite(no tanto for me though)since I have to get into appliances, outlets, chemical packaging, etc. It's a great pairing

IWB carry is the best

White River backpacker with Spyderco G-Clip 3 oClock. My perfect fixed carry. Now in use almost 3 years every day

Underrated and underused method of carry. I honestly don't think I've seen a video (at least from any of the big knife channels) on IWB carry.

I have had the Bareknuckle for about 6 months now and it quickly became one of my favorite EDCs. Carries really well and great ergos too. Looks cool in that grey color. Thumbs up on the new intro 👍

[@garrettferrell6821]

I love the Bareknuckle,it’s my personal favorite Kershaw knife.I got the champagne gold 20CV Knife Center exclusive model..I’m personally not a huge fan of assisted opening knives but the Link,Leek,Dividend and Knockout are excellent USA made Kershaw knives..I’ve probably EDCed my M390 Link more than any other knife in my collection..I paid $70 for my M390 Link which is unbelievable.one would be extremely hard pressed to find a USA made knife with an M390 blade and anodized aluminum scales for less.A Benchmade in the same materials would be $200+..I don’t think Kershaw make the Link in M390 anymore but now they have the newer versions in 20CV with the milling in the aluminum scales and it’s $80..my 20CV Bareknuckle was $110..you just can’t beat Kershaw prices when it comes to USA made knives in “super steels”

Had the Pro-Lite tanto and it was one of the sharpest knives. Was a great beater knife that could handle almost anything.

[@jeremyshackelford8080]

A really fine, round, file that tapers to a fine point works really well on even small, close knit serrations. Accusharp makes a multi-sharpener with one attached

[@mrmann408]

Thanks for answering my question DCA! Also I like the new intro👍

[@TheAngelofDeath78]

For anyone looking at the street beat, but wanting something a little bigger for tactical/self defense, there is also a 4 inch bladed version called a street bowie. Carried it daily for over a year and love it.

[@matthewadler1329]

The ceramic rod portion for serrations on the workshop field sharpener has a pretty nicely sized circumference for most teeth I've come across. They also make one with a slim folding rod on another one of their small sharpeners that works very well also.

[@PooMonkeyMan]

I’ve had a few Spyderco knives coming out of Taiwan that were amazing in their build quality. I was wondering if David could list a few of his top picks of Taiwanese-made knives. Could be both a US company or a Taiwanese company for that part.

[@jeremynedrow7003]

Great show as usual.You can sharpen serrations be sharpening the flat side as long as there not deformed.

[@francisconegrete3443]

You can also sharpen serrated knives using a Paul Block "Block Sharpener". Works for me everytime.

[@TheyllNeverGetMe]

The Buck sprint pro is an amazing knife. I have carried it for the last couple years. I did have to hammer down/flatten the weird pocket clip down but other than that is has been perfect. It is sooooo smooth in those bearings The bareknuckle has some qc issues with the detent. I have tested some that would not open. Make sure you try it out at the store and find one that opens smoothly. For a edc fixed blade it is hard to beat the esee izula 1 or 2. It is only $50-$60. The 1095 steel is super robust. I have used it to baton small logs.

[@JustIn-op6oy]

Another option for sharpening serrations that I've seen is getting a few dowels of varying diameters from an arts & crafts store (a chopstick also works) and wrapping them in adhesive backed sandpaper.

[@tuinarchitect.]

Hi David, a bit ago I asked for a cheaper version of an esee 6, I have bought the rat 7 and I have been very impressed with it so thank you for that. Now I only need a smaller bushcraft knife to go with it. Kinda looking for a puukko style, and preferably a scandi grind. Thanks in advance.

[@knifecenter]

Glad you are enjoying the RAT! Good smaller and inexpensive puukko combo with that would be the Cold Steel Finn Hawk: kcoti.com/3cTt20M -DCA

[@pathrst]

Would love to see your favorite working man knives: affordable, durable, simple designs meant to take a licking and last a lifetime. The type of thing a grizzled grandpa would hold and quietly nod a scowl of approval at.

[@silkroad1201]

Buck 110 (shit, your grandpa probably has one)

[@garrettferrell6821]

Spyderco PM2 is the perfect user knife IMO..I’m not sure if grandpa would like it or not because it’s more of a modern design than the traditional style Buck 110s,Buck 112s and Case Trappers that grandpa would more than likely gravitate towards.the PM2 allows for easy one handed opening and closing.the handle design feels great holding it behind the choil and it feels just as amazing when you choke up on the blade using the choil and thumb ramp.the compression lock is a strong and durable locking mechanism.it has the iconic wide left shaped blade with a full flat grind like Spyderco is known for which makes for an excellent slicer while the blade is still substantial enough for tougher jobs.it is made in the USA in Golden Colorado to be exact.it can be found in many different excellent blade steels but is most commonly found in the G-10+S30V which is the base model and it goes for around $150

[@dr.oetqer]

I can highly recommend the White River Backpacker pro as an EDC and last ditch tactical fixed blade. Easy to carry, good blade steel and awesome ergonomics.

[@OleOdense]

Hi - for the sharpening of serrations, Lansky's Blade Medic (the foldable sharpener) does a very good job.

[@DapperDanLovesYou]

Love the new intro! Reflects the more relaxed style of these videos! :D

[@Sherrodja]

A bit larger alternative to the Spyderco Street Beat is the Kizer Little River Bowie. Similar profile with contoured G10 scales. And comes with a nice Kydex sheath. Also for a similar size knife with the best ergo's of any fixed blade I've ever handled is the Kizer Sequoia. Which has contoured scales that feel as if they were molded to fit your hand and has a finger choil so you can choke up for detail work. It also comes with an excellent Kydex sheath. In fact the Sequoia is my EDC fixed blade and is almost always on my side.

[@gibby6996]

Hi David. I know you have appreciation for micarta as a handle material; I certainly do as well. We are seeing it on more knives (especially folders) every day, which is very exciting, but with so many options, it can be hard to choose. What are a couple of micarta folders options that you recommend...not necessarily budget options, but maybe staying away from italian made...perhaps 150 bucks or less, and prioritizing the quality and feel of the material over blade steel and even action. Bonus question: which Chinese made brand is producing the best micarta in your opinion? Thanks and Happy 30th episode. Love the series!

[@lerch400block]

Another recommendation for the wave companion is the cold steel working man.

[@kevinstryker6440]

DCA, I have a need... a need for a good folding sheep's foot bladed knife... ok, it may not roll off the tongue as nicely, but help me out please! Any steel, budget friendly, lock back or lock bar preferred, but that's not a deal breaker, and in a perfect world a pair of scissors would be sweet, but I know I am asking a lot there.

By the by, I can't stress the point enough that I want a sheep's foot, not a warn cliff blade profile. Thank you so much!

Thanks for discussing Cold Steel's serrations. I commented last week that I avoid their serrated blades 'cause I didn't know what to use to sharpen them (in contrast with easier to sharpen serrations, like Spydercos, where I just use the Sharpmaker).

[@360SubSeven]

For someone who just got sucked into the Knive World and lives in Germany: Can you recommend a locking knive below 4 inches that you have to open with two hands? Since our §42a is what it is, it has to be that way to carry it. So no flipper, autos, or anything like that. Thanks, love the show!

[@usernameshidds]

Hi DCA. I'm a big fan of the Knifecenter FAQ. I'm a rock climber. I need a knife able to cut through nylon and spectra/ dyneema slings, from 8 to 20 mm in width and also dynamic rope ranging from 9 to 10.5 mm. It doesn't necessary need to be a folder, but have to be small enough to carry in a climbing harness. It also need to have a hole big enough to pass a carabiner through or have a built-in carabiner.

No Bear and Son knives? Knife Center sells them and most are American made. One is S30V Bear Ops bearings flipper for $49.99 and I have one and though it is on the heavy side after I sharpened the factory edge off it cuts great and holds an edge very well. They kind of softened the edge by sharpening without a coolant on the grinding belt.

A couple of FAQs ago, you showed a folding knife with an integrated pocket clip. Are there other folding knives that can be held in all 4 directions without any hotspots that have a pocket clip? Or am I stuck with fix blades?

Love my burgundy micarta Ace Biblio, sharpest knife I own just about. That’s a great suggestion going up in size to the Steel Will, but another possibility might be the Griptilian sheepsfoot blade. (?) Seems like a logical step up and S30V as well, but your suggestion was a new knife to me and certainly fits the request. Thanks for the video and sharpening tips. P.S., instead of the White River I’d totally go with a Bradford 3.5 with Sabre or full flat grind. Super quality, and scout carry, thanks.

[@PedroPerez-jq8wx]

The Bareknuckle could be such a great knife IF Kershaw tackles the hard opening issue. It's not so much a break-in problem but more of a handle shape problem. The fingers fall naturally on top of the lock bar, thus making it very hard to flick for right handers; no amount of lube or hard flicks changes that (maybe tune up the detent?). Turns out it's quite decent if you use your left hand, so I gifted mine to my leftie brother.
