[@CIVTASK]

I love my SKAHA 2!!!!!

[@pretentiousname01]

What a lost opportunity to call it the “pylite”

[@jayp8321]

The piratech kraken became my favorite knife as soon as it dropped. I liked the og version but decided to wait for black dlc and luckily I didn’t have to wait that long. Got it soon as I noticed they released it and never had a single regret. Great knife, stupid comfortable, feels really high quality and looks amazing. I’m a barber and little pieces of hair fly everywhere and get in all your pockets, all over your shirts and stuff, and having the mag snap makes it really easy to clean it out real quick.

[@Dan_Hazard]

I was lucky enough to buy a piratech kraken 😊

[@Mike-mi3yw]

Andrew said that the 20i costs them basically the same amount to produce but he did it just to increase the volume available. I love my 20i, just waiting to buy different colored g10

[@jf4572]

The north arm skaha 2 in magnacut is excellent. I proudly own one! 😊

[@Jeremy-Two]

Cold Steel SR1 folder is the best every day carry knife .

[@metal_complex]

Owned it. Fun knife. Not my favorite

[@Jeremy-Two]

@@metal_complex Once the edges are sanded down a bit on the back lock, scales and thumb stud, and the action gets broken in, it's awesome.

[@Jeremy-Two]

@@metal_complex What is a custom knife most like the Cold Steel SR1 folder?

[@austin575]

I told myself i needed to pause buying knives for a bit, but whew, that Kraken has my attention.

[@RamboAdventures-oi1mn]

That 20i and Skaha are bangers. Thanks for the vid!

[@jeffbell7983]

I really enjoy my Skaha II. Great recommendation.

[@jimmycricket7946]

I been carrying the BM narrows lately and absolutely loving it!!! Just a joke manix LW in spy27 for the summer.

[@jessesorrow8111]

Mine are the flytanium arcade, an Elementum , Qsp penguin and the mini Osborne.

[@DangerDave330]

I can not WAIT until my Skaha II shows up! Just a few more weeks, hopefully!

[@PAINWOLF1]

Pyrite light really is a great knife. And I agree on the action. Got one for 30 bucks, solid lock up, excellent action, and completely centered.

[@kellendavis8638]

#1) Sencut Sachse #2) Ontario Rat2 D2 #3) Spyderco PM2 CruWear #4) Civivi Elementum in Damascus #5) Petrified Fish Beluga

[@basilconway607]

My favorite was the kraken

[@mangobadger]

I jumped on the waitlist for the Skaha II last year and got mine after about nine months. Time and money well spent! It’s a game changer on par with the PM2 or Sebenza in opening your eyes to quality. But you have to have it in hand to really understand it. IYKYK

[@jufuh1503]

I'm kind of impressed by the fact that the skaha made it, it's been out for a while in s35vn, nice that the last one is in magnacut. That says something! I've got their mallard and i'm really living it, maybe one day i'll get one.

[@joelamaro4525]

We need more spay blades like the Kraken. Very utilitarian.

[@joelamaro4525]

Also, this was a fun video.

[@lostfound8112]

The first knife is amazing as is second. I have an XL pyrite, I love it's size and blade geometry

[@Chongy28]

Every weekend when i head out the door with the family i open the knife drawer and almost every time, lately my blue matter fat carbon Skaha 2 is the one i grab. Its soo good.

[@g0ud77]

Mine so far are benchmade full Immunity, Microtech Amphibian and Stitch, benchmade 940/9400, and ADV mini butcher

[@jasonlewis6914]

I'll tell you what I am super impressed with CJRB knives I own a handful of them. Such great quality knives.

[@aaronbrown8697]

Mine are Spyderco manix 2 LW, kunwu pulsar, cold steel ad10, oknife ruboto 4, reate Exo-U.

[@FuzzyMutt76]

MC tells true true on the Skaha 🥰

[@Below-Average_Joe]

I may have to plan order for a Skaha even though I hate waiting.

[@WILDLIFEFISHINGBLOGS]

Best collection ever ❤

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I just ordered my skaha 2 a couple of weeks ago in the same spec. Weave carbon and magnacut. Should be a perfect user.

[@L2EDC]

You are going to LOVE the Skaha 2. I have 7 of them....that's correct, I said 7. My absolute favorite knife ever. MC is the one who convinced me to get one and the rest is history. Enjoy!

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

@@L2EDC I honestly don’t remember ever I saw it first. It was years ago. I have a feeling it’ll get my padre out of my pocket for the first time since it came in

[@L2EDC]

@@Sleepy_spartan717 - Please keep me posted when you receive it and how well you like it. I always wonder if anyone loves the Skaha as much as I do or if it is just me. Thanks

[@L2EDC]

I am SO glad that the Skaha 2 is still in your top 5. May it stay there forever! You turned me on to the Skaha 2 and I now have 7 of them. This is after I already sold 3 of them. So I had 10 Skahas last week. It is your fault. Love the videos. God Bless!

[@lando8913]

I've been carrying the pyrite lite too. I thought it would feel kind of cheap but I didn't realize it was solid steel under the scales. It's my first button lock and I wasn't expecting great things but the detent feels great, very fidgety.

[@davidf3974]

I thought the same about button locks and caged bearing knives but after some time carrying they really don't compete to your average pb axis/compression lock

[@The_circular_square]

I’ve found it really interesting how taste changes over time. I used to hate anything that wasn’t solid metal. Now I picked up one of the new Adamas in carbon fiber and have changed my mind.

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

For real I used to hate anything that wasn’t solid material as well I didn’t like the idea of inlays I liked the basic WE knives that weren’t special at all I hated thumb holes Now? My favorite knife is the WE Orpheus It finds its way into my pocket all the time to Black tie affairs (It’s too nice to carry for work lol)

[@Odigs6547]

What is your Favorite civivi knife beside the vision?

[@mass_in_a_can]

Can you please make a video on budget 3-inch blades? In Illinois we are allowed to carry 3" blade no larger. I appreciate your opinion and enjoy your videos thank you.

[@bzebarth]

Just ordered the Pyrite for $30. That's insane!

[@christianbureau6732]

Big fan of the NorthArms

[@Strow1stofHisName]

The only thing keeping my from having a skaha (and I’ve wanted one for years) is the $8 up charge for being a lefty. I refuse out of principle.

[@TheScotchaholic]

That's ridiculous! For a pricey folder, a lefty option should be priced exactly like the righty. Nonsense!

[@metal_complex]

Ya I agree

[@s30vguy8]

Did you see the AD20i with the damascus blade and ti scales?

[@yliyahhawkins3372]

Oh your top 5 most carried. What I assumed. Not everyone else's in the world's top 5. Mine is Spyderco Para 3 CPM S45V ...one each also in Cruware, S30V, M390. Fox Knives "Nauta" 420C crazy favorite new addition. And Victorinox SAK Ranger camper, and SAK Farmer X ALOX. THATS IT THIS MONTH

[@alfredjarry503]

I work in a shop with mass metal particles everywhere...like , floating in the air. So anything with magnets , including flashlights is a big no no for me.😐 Impossible to get or keep metal particles out of.

[@JackTorrance333]

I do as well. No magnets. Pro tip, you can clean any particles with a air trigger in one second flat🤫

[@t8858x]

Does the first sell in a standard drop point?

[@dargon70]

So many knives hard to keep track

[@landontreinen3062]

I’ve been carrying an AD20.5 in D2 five days a week for like… 2ish years? Everything else has been relegated to the knife drawer for going out on the weekends or after work. Along with all 5 of my watches 😢

[@MikeJ602]

MC what’s up with the ad20 saying it’s discontinued if it’s not? Any idea when it will be back?

[@metal_complex]

Knife centers clumsy site design

[@jpolhamus71]

They will be back on knife center. They website is set stupid.. should read out of stock.. As of now demko has no plans to stop the AD-20I line.. and it's $25 cheap then the regular AD-20.

[@MikeJ602]

@@jpolhamus71 thank you

[@mikereese15]

Nice

[@joelamaro4525]

MC, what is the logic behind more companies not using premium steel and as inexpensive everything else as possible. Within reason of course. Especially in terms of scale materials.

[@joelamaro4525]

Is it all just about being able to charge incrementally more money?

[@DanielDan-rg9zw]

Hear me out, what If they make a pyrite light mini? I already have the pyrite mini, best fidget ever!

[@georgetek]

I’m still waiting for the regular size in CF…

[@CaptChet81]

I want a piratech

[@zbaird3]

I like the Top 5 Top 10's. But man I miss the Knife Guy

[@brian041270]

Yeah, the Kraken, I don't carry at work. I run a laser at work. And it fills up with ironoxide, (rust)..😆

[@ryansmock2717]

Do NOT take the Remette Swordfish fully apart unless you're willing to spend hours doing so. ONLY take the 4 screws out and the screws on the blade. Going any further is PAIN and SUFFERING.

[@hawleyfromhell]

Would you still use the Piratech knife if it didn't have the cool Kraken logo on it?

[@metal_complex]

Of course

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

"Apocalypse folding knife" is two words? 😂

[@onesparow6481]

hi , from Ukraine , Navy)

[@kokosnh1170]

Piratech kraken is ok, till you have to adjust pivot screw... never again will I buy magnetic scale knife... I have to jam screw bit between the scales and liner to lift the scales, ( you have to unscrew pocket clip to take out the second one, from the inside)

[@metal_complex]

You shouldn't have to do that. As you saw in this video, I did it easily with my hands

[@kokosnh1170]

@@metal_complex one of my scales barely fits, I already taken skin off my finger trying to lift it. it’s the one without the clip that is stuck, the clip one is ok and I can lift it, but can’t because of the clip, and that creates problem. if i try to lift the scale without the clip, the second scale with clip will go, and i loos fulcrum, and can't do anything. That's why I have to use a screw bit to lift it. it's the scales machining that's a problem for me.

[@metal_complex]

​@kokosnh1170 what im saying is, you should have returned it and had them replace it before you used a screwdriver on it.

[@nohalfmeasures2773]

RPP’s . 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ElektroMoog]

AR RPM9 is not equivalent to 9CR... this was proven by Dr Larrin Thomas

[@knobbshots]

The Kraken you are showing is $520 to be clear (and somebody smokin’ crack on that one)

[@metal_complex]

No. That's for the mirror polished one. This one isn't nearly that much. In their defense, the price is justified. It isn't cheap to mirror polish a blade

[@knobbshots]

@@metal_complex aren’t the Kunwus with polished DLC like another $20 or something? I’m actually watching yer new arrivals vid right now (lol) and the Chad is in there. Hard to tell but I think it was $249 and $289 respectively. Even a $40 bump, sure. But a $200 bump? Anyway, I can hear you saying “well then DONT BUY IT if it isn’t worth it to you!” Lol

[@metal_complex]

​@knobbshots there's a huge difference between "mirror polished" and "satin". Everything you've seen me unbox or showcase on this channel in terms of DLC has been satin. I have never showcased a true mirror DLC outside of my Marfione Borka Stitch which is a $6000 custom. A true mirror DLC will have a hefty justified price bump

[@joshoconnor6684]

I wouldnt pay 15 dollars for that last ugly ass paper weight. Only knives id even touch on this list are kraken and the lite
