New Knives for the Week of October 3rd, 2024 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@knifecenter]

Comment below your questions for Seth and Thomas to answer in this coming Tuesday’s video (October 8, 2024)! We’re opening the floor to pretty much any question you might have, even if they’re not knife-related. As long as we have an answer for it (or we can make one up), your question has a chance to be featured, so ask away!

[@EDCandLace]

Here's a great question for you guys .. WHAT made you guys want to get in to the knife business? Was you in the hobby and decided that you wanted to pursue a job in the knife market? Was it just kinda looking for a job and BHQ was hiring? What brought you to bhq and the knife business.

[@johnruiz6743]

What do you think of the new Cold Steel FM-1? 🤔

[@The4cp]

What US company do you think gives the best value of great materials to price today.

[@standodge5536]

At 495K subs I think your YT audience is the best way to announce anything Knife Center is doing. I don't use instagram but I use the hell out of YT.

[@jotade2098]

Yeah, it's a curious thing. A website gives them hard times, so they come to another to promote the first one...

[@Sanguivore]

I agree. Also don't use Instagram and never will again. Better to just draw the attention here.

[@kanukkarhu]

I have all three peltonens. They are amazing bushcraft knives. The M07 is simply awesome. They aren't scandi, but they function like a high scandi grind. And that little one is the best carver I think I own. Awesome blades at a fair price.

[@pretentiousname01]

I will never forgive cjrb for not calling it the Pylite

[@mcsquirgle]

question for Seth and Thomas: what discontinued knife that you can no longer get at knife center (or any retailer really) would you bring back if you could? for me it would be the Cold Steel Broken Skull. I wasnt aware of Cold Steel or even interested in knives back when they were producing it and I feel like I missed an Icon.

[@jeremyshackelford8080]

Am I the only one that thought that Livewire was wearing SOG badging??

[@Woodzy-5326]

Nope, my first thought exactly

[@Sanguivore]

I did too, lol. I almost cried.

[@NFK20-dc2cl]

I thought so my self

[@davidcherry3107]

Me too.

[@Adamas11]

OMFG! The action and acoustics of the Holt Morpheus 👌

[@Silence-and-Violence]

Get a North Arms Skaha 2 for similar action and acoustics for an absolute fraction of the price (still not cheap, but the best action I've ever felt).

[@Adamas11]

@@Silence-and-Violence I have to check that one out!

[@Silence-and-Violence]

@Adamas11 Father/son team out of Canada. Doing magnacut these days. Made to order, base price plus handle material upcharge. No upcharge for g10s and micartas. Upcharge for fatcarbons and CF. They have absolutely dialed in the linerlock, flipper action. The best folder maker have all come to realize that linerlocks allow for the best, smoothest, most "automatic" feeling action, especially for flippers. So that's why you're going to see linerlocks on any of these customs that are trying to sell you on action and acoustics. I will say, the best acoustics, in my opinion, are made from having material like g10 or carbon fiber. It creates a bassier, popping noise that echoes more. My full fatcarbon Skaha has the coolest acoustics. The action is exactly like the guy here describes the Holt. You feel resistance from the detent and then it flies open like an automatic. You basically cannot fail the opening, the detent is so perfect that if you put even a gram of pressure beyond the detent breaking point, it's going to fly open. There are no half opens, from any position. The detent is flawless. Then you get that super satisfying double click from the liner nesting into place and then the detent pad (the best guys are not using balls anymore, they use a slightly flattened pad) clicking into place a micro-fraction of a second after and then the cicks are followed a micro-fraction of a second later by the hollow, bassy, popping sound of the carbon fiber handles creating a sort of semi-open cabinet for the sound waves (or g10 and micarta make similar sounds). Haha, sorry went kinda 'tistic on this one. But guys who really care about kinetics and acoustics on a folding knife are being kinda 'tistic to begin with. It's gonna run you $300ish, but the Skaha 2 has the same or better action than the most expensive full custom linerlocks in the world.

[@tombeyer375]

The Kestrel really got my attention! Even though the price is getting up there, it's a VERY uniquely cool "gentlemans" kind of knife!!

[@ManInTheWoods76]

The irony of manhood: I'm listening to this at work using my $9 Milwaukee folder. I own a Condor Kephart, a Gerber Prodigy, a $50 Mora, a Libertariat, 14" Fiskars hatchets and a Leatherman Signal. Nothing else matters. But I still love to watch.

[@rtz549]

Reminds me of today at the Amazon pickup. In the car opening the knife with a knife and thinking about the one in my pocket, and in the console, and in the front part of the console, and the large fixed blade between the seat and console, and one or more in the back seat and some in the hatch. Not to mention the ones in the garage and the pile of them in the house. Watching knife videos and on forums and websites looking and reading about them. Sometimes I alternate to firearms..

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

I have a Condor Selknam, which is an inexpensive HARD use knife, one I have no problem carrying as my only must-depend-on heavy duty knife. If my EDC is just my Kershaw Dozier which is a $30 knife, I'm very content to have my needs filled. If I'm hunting and all I have is my Morakniv Eldris, I'm going to be able to do everything I need. Don't get me wrong: My current EDC fixed blade carry is 3 Esee knives, Sencillo in MagnaCut, Izula in S35VN, and Pacaya in CPM-3V. My pocketknives are Demkos, Kizers, Spydercos, and it used to include a Sebenza. However, there are a LOT of budget blades I think are excellent. I have a lot of Civivis and CKRT's I absolutely love.

[@GBall_Vision]

It's bad when it gets to the hundreds and hundreds 😂

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Case needs to add some thumb studs to a few traditional folders of theirs like Old Timer . Front flippers are a bad idea.

[@happykt]

I despise front flippers and can't deploy them with my female medium sized hands. I deeply regret owning the two that I have in my very large knife collection. I prefer thumb studs and have added thumb studs on some of my Rosecraft traditional knives that have a very heavy pull, which have consistently snapped or broken my fingernails.

[@Sanguivore]

​@@happyktWhich front flippers do you own? Would you be interested in selling them?

[@paullambert4445]

I really like the Peltonen Ranger Cub. I like small Scandinavian knives. Great for carving or camp chores. Thanks as always 🎸🔪

[@rustytygart405]

Loving the viper ranger kinda an all around knife with a definite all around steel … really nice I’ll be picking one up soon

[@michaelsimonelli356]

Question for Seth and Thomas - What got you guys into working in the knife industry? We've all heard about how everyone gets into collecting knives, but what were the opportunities that lead you to working in the business of cutlery? Thanks!

[@Sanguivore]

Really great question!

[@ligaar0849]

Why do I want that lilith? I have no use for a blade that large and I already own several Kukri of similar size... But... I do want it.

[@Woodzy-5326]

Thomas, as I've been a fan of this channel for quite a while now, I have something that's been on my mind. First off I know that you used to work as a bartender and I know that you're somewhat of a gear head and have a bit of mechanical knowledge, much like myself. I know that the leatherman skeletool was your knife of choice for years (I too EDC one and have for years). The real question is; how the hell did you end up at Knife Center as the camera man/editor of their KZbin channel.

[@scootertribeg1708]

That Ranger Cub is sweet. I also appreciate full sized handles with smaller fixed blades. Maybe David and crew can do a whole segment on that topic??

[@Woodzy-5326]

As a small time knife maker who is relatively unknown at this time, I hate the ranger cub. Only because I designed and created prototypes for my "ranger" line of knives and I named my smaller knife the ranger cub. Now I gotta come up with a new name. FML. Good thing I haven't advertised it yet.

[@Sanguivore]

I like full-size handles on smaller blades as well! I'd also love a segment on that.

[@happykt]

MKM with their very expensive slipjoint is trying to channel Jack Wolf knives. I love my Viper Hug slipjoint, made in Italy, which I bought for $119, that has a titanium handle and M390 steel and is just under half the cost of the MKM Jaques.

[@wingmanjim6]

Excellent presentation, Seth - thanks !

[@karisteffen]

I have the shorter Peltonen. It is awesome. I have it always on my belt when I am in the forest.

[@Pompomgrenade]

The viper ranger was magnificent Mr. Groucho Marx

[@z.r0.m_0n]

The translucency on the Palmer actually made me think of those limited edition Gamecubes and controllers 😂

[@alexandregraulle607]

The big one looks like the ring of power !! ^^

[@TsavoTouring]

That viper ranger is pretty close to a knife I’ve been wanting for overlanding

[@TsavoTouring]

And the Tops one would be good if you have to travel to Mordor or something.

[@Mark-i2k8y]

Loved the Lilith! Kind of knife that makes a person want to go hack some things to pieces!

[@glockparaastra]

That advent calendar is very cool idea!

[@gm5216]

The James Brand Palmer reminded me of a firefighter buddy of mine who travels with a knife that uses utility blades. He says he can just pitch the blade when he flies and then reload when he lands. To that end, could you guys show us a lineup of replaceable blade knives - covering a range of prices and styles…I’d like to choose something a bit more interesting than the average home center utility knife. Thanks.

[@TheyllNeverGetMe]

I have basically that exact same holt Morpheus but with a matte powder gray finish on the scales. Number 1521. Same exact blue anodizing on the hardware and timascus clip. It is the best looking, smoothest and crispiest action, and perfect edc knife in the world in my opinion. It has ended my desire for buying edc knives.

[@HrvojeKucic]

That TOPS Lilith looks almost identical to Iberian falcata, and Greek kopis

[@mcsquirgle]

The lilith looks wicked as heck man. viscious

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I really like the MKM Jaques! and the Peltonen Sheath.👍🤩 Questions for you guys. DCA, any new plans for Nordsmith knives? Seth, DCA, & Thomas, what was the path that brought you to Knife Center and then in front of (or behind) the camera?

[@jkurtzz]

SETH IS BACK 🎉 Sick

[@ExtraCrispy357]

Hey Seth, that is a BEAUTIFUL TERZUOLA! You could even tell on video how great the action is on that Holt Bladeworks Custom Morpheus - super cool! Both of the aforementioned blades are out of my price range, but fun to look at! That William Henry Kestrel is the ultimate gentleman's folder! Nice analysis and comparison between the Morpheus and Kestrel. The MKM slip joint is really sweet and much more realistic for my budget. LOL! [Apple] "They made computers not beige . . . for like, the first time ever."

[@twatmunro]

I didn't like the Terzuola. Too fussy. Loved the Morpheus though

[@Sanguivore]

I'd love to see a video on front-flipper slipjoints and double-detent knives!

[@bosse641]

So cool and nice that Casstrom. ....very handy in the woods.

[@crankythursdays]

How long have you worked at Knife Center and what specific event(s) lead you to it?

[@TheYeezyK]

What is the perfect fixed blade around 3 inches to cut food with when you need to? It's for when I'm outside and maybe need to peel an apple or cut a piece of chicken or steak. Thank you for your contents

[@stickles791]

Seth V in the house! Let’s go!

[@timtitus2532]

William Henry, wow,beautiful but I'd want a thumb stud on both sides.

[@StarDarkAshes]

22:54 they would’ve loved to have these in Sierra Leone. So much better than the cheap ones.

[@unfi6798]

Great knives. Great people. Cowabunga.!

[@rhonda837]

looks like the drapes match the carpet.

[@johnruiz6743]

That William Henry is a beautiful gentlemens knife. Thinking about getting one? 🤔

[@miikkavalimaki]

Nice to see Peltonen knives represented here.

[@josephmartin1540]

The Klingon Empire might order a couple of these dedigns…

[@Puahhhhhh]

I'm looking for a half straight edge half serrated knife for under $200 that has great edge retention and solid anti-corrosion attributes(will be getting wet). Flipper or fixed. Possible? Suggestions? Thx!

[@thinking6307]

I'm with you... I've had the Gerber E-Z Out with the combo edge...as an edc for decades. Any new edc will have to have the combo edge..it just makes perfect sense and highest utility I've found for the most cutting situations. Spyderco has the best selection of combo edged folders...with some in your (and my) price range.

[@Sanguivore]

Any of the Spyderco Salt line should do you really well.

[@Puahhhhhh]

@Sanguivore I'd be interested in an alternative but yes the Sat line from Spyderco is pretty ideal for the application.

[@pinarppanrapir9489]

A Lillith with a handle more suited for chopping at the end (while keeping the finger ring) and with a narrower point would be nice to see.

[@TheKJMalice]

Here’s a question for everyone: what would you consider your own ideal folding knife for that hypothetical collapse of civilization? Thanks for all the content, I keep up with every video as best I can

[@bill64gr]

The small Petronen is best new in my eyes..

[@NZComfort]

I’ve been trying to find a way of getting a M23. Guess I know how to get it now. Freakin sweet!

[@coyote4936]

We need more S90v instead of Magnacut. Knives are getting too expensive

[@Blawa-ti4xp]

Magnacut is not as expensive as the knives who utilize it make it out to be - knives are only expensive bc people will buy them

[@anthonyberardi8904]

@@Blawa-ti4xpI have heard Magnacut is one of the most difficult steels to heat treat

[@EDCandLace]

Magnacut outside of custom heat treat knives is just not anything special... In production heat treats it's basically a tougher and more stainless s35vn with less edge retention. S90v has an Excellent performance range at a fairly wide range of hardness from 58 up to 62 and it's fairly easy for companies to heat treat. S90v is sadly under utilized in the current EDC knife market. It's one of the absolute best stainless steels one can own for a lighter duty EDC knife.

[@Knivess0]

​@@EDCandLaceChippy though.

[@johnruiz6743]

​@@EDCandLaces90v is fine for a knife where you are looking for edge retention and not toughness. I prefer s110v over s90v cause it's more corrosion resistant.

[@davebell7233]

Are there any aftermarket pocket clips being made for the livewire yet? Maybe its just me, but its almost a two hand operation to put it back in the pocket of most of my pants. I dont hate the look, even the weird angle, but its just too tight.

[@davidgarrett5671]

Here’s my question for the older generation: I have a friend that has a balance problem and really needs to use a cane but is resisting. He collects knives so I thought if I bought him a sword cane he would use it. I’ve looked at some but people said they either rattle or were dull, I don’t want either. Can you cover some options?

[@larryborum5642]

Like the Bob Terzuola custom. 😅

[@BSBS-gk4iy]

Tops is the best and Lilith is mandatory for upcoming Apocalipsis!

[@Errcyco]

Id love to have that special Livewire but.. California =( Thanks for filling in for DCA, very informative 🗣

[@cameronduncan7921]

William Henry needs to go back to making edc as well as their highend stuff. Their stuff is so good. Also Seth I’m proud of you for pronouncing Voxnaes properly. DCA says Voknaes.

A $1000 for a pocket knife that's crazy. The most I would spend on the pocket knife. Is 300 bucks and on a solid full? Fixed blade may be 4 to 500 a $1000. I can buy an AR with that.

[@johnruiz6743]

You can buy a Glock for less. If I was spending that much on a knife it would be a complete custom from a well known knifemaker.

[@profesorEDC]

Yeah Thomas, so where's DCA?

[@1980JPA]

I think I'd have to get that Case Longhouse in hand before committing. Just from the vid it seems to be missing some of the nuance that brands doing something similar have achieved. Price too close to Jack Wolf. Even MKM, Finch, Boker Bonfire seem to have a bit more... something. Class? Attention to detail? not sure. Case's modern attempts have all been a bit "rough" (Marilla, Kinzua, Westline)

[@crankythursdays]

What are 3 discontinued knife models you wish they would bring back but with better materials?

[@Cojomo1]

>Avispa Crossbar lock YESSS >Automatic NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@The4cp]

I really wish the Kershaw OTFs and automatic knives would get bigger. Not even 3.5 is too small. Where are the 3.75 in versions? Even the Boker is sub 3.5. Is it shrinkflation? Do companies not care about giving us larger knives?
