[@Ratchman_5000]

The Esee Izula as my edc fixed blade. What a tremendous knife company. Lifetime guarantee!

[@mikehalfmoonmullins404]

@@Ratchman_5000 esee truly rocks

[@paynekiller75]

ESSE is great! Their warranty is legendary and their heat treatment makes their 1095 perform so well it's amazing! Enjoy your knife 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Knivess0]

Don't ever feel like you have to apologize for American made products. The increase in price to know you're supporting American businesses is almost always worth it.

[@frankysour]

The "almost" is the key word... Good supporting the own country production, when company are not taking Advance of it and overprice stuff more than justified... I for once don't generally buy Italian knives, since herein Italy.... Are generally priced higher than there in US, which makes little sense to me and feel like they ripping me off. Of course, this is not general situation, but happens a lot. True that the 2 markets are different, and this drives at least partially the price, but... Still bothering me

[@Leftyotism]

Not to a European.

[@cameronduncan7921]

Everyone wants to support American made til they have to pay American made prices. Love benchmade they make some of the best knives on the market. That’s why EVERY knife maker has copied their designs and locks.

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Yep ! Except for General Motors

[@Mo.89.]

I’ve always loved Benchmade, they’ve made some great knives. But they’ve finally pushed me away. That Bailout price is bad. You can get so much more for so much less. Even American made you can do better. They’ve got nothing going for them anymore.

[@giangdoan91]

Right? They were somewhat fairly priced before but now they are way overpriced.

[@MountainFisher]

$184 isn't bad for that Czech Republic made Acta Non Verba. Larrin Thomas has a winner with Magnacut steel. It's a shame those Olamics are so expensive and out of my range ($200) because they're totally useful. They could do a Spyderco and put premium steel with a practical FRN Type handle and I'd buy that 90V steel, but not at $600++. I really wished Case would jump up to a 440C type steel. 440C is better than some folks think. It is the 100 average all knife steels are rated by, like OPS+ in baseball where 100 is the average. If 110 (VG10) above average and 90 (14C28N) below average.

[@robertcompitelloii7793]

And the Benchmade ludicrous prices continue

[@everybodyhigh]

More edc fixed blades please. Gratzi

[@dick_richards]

Exactly!

[@57HEMIviken]

Bought a bradford guardian 3 a short while ago, cant recommend enough

[@lostcat9lives322]

Fixed blades rock. If you need a figget toy, mommy needs to buy you Adderall.

[@Dabbleatory]

Wait, so the claymore is a blade named after a mine named after a blade?

[@pelewads]

Claymore memes greatsword in Gaelic

[@_HardKOR]

Nameception!

[@Migh7yb00sh]

Yes

[@jamesR1990]

The circle of life 😂

[@The4cp]

The slim select is the best inexpensive work knife out there. When I get a little spare cash 2 clips are coming my way.

[@nonnobissolum]

Folks at Benchmade need to get out and get a little fresh air, some sunshine, and back in contact with reality. Come to think of it, quite a few manufacturers nowadays could benefit from that. Maybe they could do a work Retreat together.

[@parrisheverettep]

And over 200 dollars for d2 steel on the Benchmade, cpm blah blah blah

[@wecanjump7512]

I almost never see a knife anymore and just have to have it. My Tops Operator 7 from KC should arrive today😂

[@kentglass3894]

fobos cacula is awesome

[@lummindnable]

Even better than the normal pocket flish, is the ambi-capable pocket flish.

[@aznelite325]

I have a FOBOS Cacula and absolutely love it. Very capable and robust but not too large, it has great fit and finish. The stonewash is polished underneath so it's very smooth. DCA, you are correct about what looks like a thumb hole, it's built off a design of their folder, which is still in the works. Can't recommend the Cacula enough.

[@rickyhurtt5568]

$24 for a pocket clip. What a bargain. I'll take 4 and don't even own a buck slim pro.

[@parrisheverettep]

A pocket clip that cost more than the knife😂😂😂

[@Buggapanda]

That Jugle Bolo looks sweet but at that price? Sheesh

[@sencerr226]

New knives time *YES*

[@don-doncalma5840]

Still waiting for that ANV M311 compact.

[@Nkdc333]

Benchmade pricing is out of control

[@lummindnable]

I hear you, DCA. I got a knife last Christmas and was very disappointed when I saw there was no pocket flish... No Pocket Flish... can you believe that?😂

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Those Fobos knives tho! 😍😍😍🤩🤩

[@korgan7779]

I'm glad you did a great video DCA, cause I missed All My Circuits to see it! I wish Case Knives Would make a full sized Trapper with the Warnclift 2nd blade. I don't hate the spay blade It's just the Warnclift or even better a Big Sheepsfoot blade would suit me better. It's also nice to see someone come out with a dedicated replacement for the Buck 110/112 select's dreadful huge pocketclip! I ended up modifying a couple Benchmade Bugout Pocketclips for the two 112 selects I have. But then I ground down the sides, slimming it down, of the OEM Buck Pocketclip (because I do like the Buck Knives logo) and added it to a Buck 110 LT along with a Thumbstud.

[@B.W.Broom-xc6gs]

I find it hard to sharpen D2 to a razor fine edge like I can with other steels. Maybe im doing something wrong but my other non-D2 blades I can get shaving sharp.

[@pelewads]

Concerning the dragonfly. The Marines do not have their own medical corps. Marines don't yell medic, they yell corpsman. You damn well better believe that those things saw front-line combat.

[@jwiz1911]

One minute into the video comment: Those pocket clips look great, can you please please PLEASE get them to make two hole clips of a similar design for Spyderco knives??? The monstrous one with a hold in the center is hideous!

[@happykt]

Too rich for my blood. My impulsive knife lust has finally faded after 3 yrs of frantic buying, thank goodness.

[@marckydasaint8730]

This Dude sounds like the Bob Ross of Knives. 😂 Happy Trees.. Happy Trees living over here, wait, here comes Mr. Happy Bolo, aggressively hacking and chopping! No more Happy Trees.

[@JimLander]

The knife world has gone to unbelievable heights with their pricing. $1245 for a Knife is way too much.

[@yankee2yankee216]

If you can’t afford a $1000 knife… there are plenty of similarly good (quality, action, engineering, durability) knives for $150!

[@dfx7105]

Benchmade at $282.00 thanks benchmade for keeping it under 500...sarcasm.

[@dfx7105]

Benchmade at $282.00 thanks benchmade for keeping it under 500...sarcasm.

[@heavychevy4616]

benchmades lost their minds askin that kinda money for an auto with PLASTIC scales! ...when i recently got a made in usa gerber propel from yall a while ago with G10 scales & a 3.5" blade & a safety switch just like that claymore, & all for a large chunk of change cheaper... shame cause that woulda been a cool knife if they hadnt pulled a "spyderco" by askin a fortune for knife with cheap plastic handles... what a shame... thank u gentlemen

[@talisikid1618]

The Benchmade Claymores are named after the military directional AP mine that itself was named after a famous Medieval Scottish sword. So it completes the nomenclature circle.

[@christolley4946]

DCA, Something I heard you mention in the video several times and being a long time off and on collector and even knifemaker long time ago which made me even more curious. What are "LIFTERS" on knives you mentioned??? : )

[@stevedavey9250]

Can I purchase the Olamic Whippersnapper shown on your April 20th review since that’s my Birthday? Please

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Agreed non- coating is better . Some of these coatings look cheap. Stone wash is a simple process .

[@Leftyotism]

18:26 LOL! Cac sounds like Kack, and Kacke / Kack' is German for poop. May I present: The Poopular!

[@RobZ620]

My Favorite Time of the Week, also !!

[@J.Bradley.]

DCA, do you ever remove the coating (dlc) etc, from blades? I like alot of designs that have coatings but I hate coatings.

[@joshuawachenwheimer9921]

In regards to the Acta Non Verba. I would argue it is still ambidextrous. The pocket clip can only be attached to one side at a time.

[@travisharrington5819]

The Benchmade bailout was sick until I looked up the price. No way man, and the only review on it says the blade itself was bent

[@peksacola]

I remember when replicants were 275, they upped the price and downgraded it with barrel spacers, huge disappointment

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

Can't dig the bulbous handle on the Claymore.

[@cbridgmon]

Where is the MagnaCut KA-BAR made by Spartan?

[@geico1975]

Let's all face it, most of us can afford a $1,000.00 knife, just not at one time:) 😁

[@dtmh2220]

How many of those micro balisongs are y’all really selling? Seems like such a waste of money.

[@lanedexter6303]

Like the USMC Hospital Corps repro. I’ll keep my original in it’s 1944 Boyt scabbard. But that is a pretty reproduction.

[@Cardsone1]

Priced at $292 I can see why they had to do a blowout sale for them hahaha I'll wait, but it'll still probably be overpriced while on "sale"

[@mikerollins3088]

Yup, got the Butterfly tax on it. A couple times from the look of things 🙄

[@Cardsone1]

@@mikerollins3088 basic steel and aluminum 🤷‍♂️

You look stoned and the camera man is a funny smart as. I like to watch.

I wish southern grind would use decent steels. I know their knives are basically a charity donation bc most of the money goes to their charity, but they could at least use a decent steel 200+ dollars for 14C-28N .

[@ergofoxxxy]

@@-Craptastic- it is a good steel, but yes I mean for that price. it;s not $300 steel

Are all southern grind knives usa made ????????????

[@frankysour]

Nice video as usual, with a note... If you don't consider ambidextrous a knife with a single side movable thumb stud, then there there is no ambidextrous knife that has a pocket clip (unless one exists that has a clip on each side....)

[@mmllrjr]

“better than your run of the mill D2” i see what you did there

[@nahumdeleon8453]

Does the mini trapper come with half stops this year?

[@Graham.R.Naughtcy]

Why is the bolo discontinued if this video is new?

[@landofpc]

any alternative for Morse Kochanski knife: short, thick blade, non sceletonized fultang, high toughness steel (example:cpm3v) can be used as NECK knife. ?

[@keith6872]

I would like to see more knives with Ultem plastic handles. My warncliff PM2 has RGT Ultem grips and it is my favorite edc. Lightweight also. Screw heavy metal grips.

[@Jalartifact]

Great Show guys👍👍

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

How is the sharpening of CPM-D2 compared to D2? D2 takes a while to sharpen.

[@Ericstraordinary]

It is supposed to be easier due to the uniformity and reduction in carbide size.

[@FranklinAJ]

What’s the price? You wax euphoric on the blades, get me interested, but fail to mention the price. Fail!

[@LarsRibe]

That bolo looks AWESOME! Something for your excellent weekly FAQ video: Bolos! What would be a more budget friendly option? Also: is there a folder to match? A folding edc bolo?!

[@adamkolb113]

Dude that small Bali is so sweet. I just can’t spend that much tho. DCA please thru your knife industry weight around and get a cheaper Bali for a knife center exclusive thanks man…

[@MitchBollig]

Nice list! I'd maybe find a way to inch the Para3 LW in there. Thanks Stassa!

[@DouglasRosser]

Acta Non Verba make a *perfectly* suitable knife for lefties.... but make the opening stud single-sided.

[@iansclone]

That Jungle Bolo is sa-WEET. I'd argue against it being a tactical tool, but dang near anything can be tactical I guess. Either way, it can double as a canoe paddle...

[@Woodzy-5326]

Is it just me or does it seem like 20cv and m390 are featured on high end knives more often than 204p. I wonder why that is?

[@codybroadway8496]

I love titanium but if we’re being honest the buck pocket clip is more secure than my benchmade knives spydercos pretty much all premium knives I carry the s35vn spitfire when I need a knife I know I won’t lose

pocket flish is a flush clip that is

D2 is D2 if it was cpm or not😊

[@naturestudies8040]

Laughs at bolo in kukri😂

[@GOxHAM]

There’s only a few options in the tiny balisong market. I’ve tried a couple around the 300+ range and they weren’t designed well nor did they flip very well. Heed Industries actually specializes in balisongs, so their design looks phenomenal and actually flippable. Very tempted to grab one!

[@williamstemmler4206]

Why would you have the jungle bolo on if it's discontinued?

[@knifecenter]

We had a batch and they sold out after the video posted. We've ordered more from the maker though :) -DCA

[@poncho151]

Those are some of the best looking Olamics, both in profile and finishes, that I’ve seen in awhile. Plus s90v certainly helps!

Why didn't they keep the window breaker on the Bailout? That is a very cool thing to have imo. Still charging a ridiculous premium but giving you less. Still.... If you like the Bugout, the Bailout is an upfrade. Grippy aluminum handle & a little larger overall.
