The Kizer Momo is a work of art. The way the lines flow on the scale to the blade is so sublime. If it were in a museum of modern art, it wouldn’t look out of place at all. I’m glad I own one.

WMK is getting a purple haze/shiny dlc S45VN Momo this fall! Can’t wait, they’re only about 50 minutes from me so I’ll definitely be going up to get one!

It’s was this same video last year when I found your content. Gave you an earful in the comments about how there’s no way these could be underrated and “so expensive” at the same time… Oh how I was wrong, every one of these look awesome and I’ve just added a few to my knife bucket list ! Thanks for introducing me to the realm of the knife world outside of the budget territory!

I think the most underappreciated knife I bought in the last year is the Divo premium Pony Stout. I liked it so much, and it was such a great price that I bought both versions (black and stonewashed). I mean hollow ground S90V for $157 (after 10% discount)? C'mon now. And another cool feature is that Kunwu milled wire clip replacement clips fit on it. I put a Timascus one on the black one, and a shorty blue milled clip on the stonewashed one. I was almost offended that they took so long to sell out. It took months, and your review finally did it.

@@StoneHands25 yeah the Truffles' detent is a liiiittle on the light side, but it handles multiple deployment methods very well. any harder and front flipping would suck, any lighter and i'd fail flipper tab too often. it straddles the line pretty well. not perfect at either, but good at all of them.

@KyleHerrick-y4c 4 ай бұрын

I don't know if it was released in 2024, but I feel that the IronFly Syperfly is crazily underrated at $69. I don't see how it couldn't make your best budget knives list as well. I don't think you have reviewed it though. The Kunwu titanium clip works on it too! That brings it to another level for me.

@mangobadger 4 ай бұрын

It’s a shame Sencut gets overshadowed by its elder sibling Civivi. I think the way you positioned them, respectively, as traditional vs cutting edge design is very astute, and I hope this distinction is something they’ll lean into more strongly over time.

Even with the hefty price tag of some of them, they are worth it. Benchmade back in the late '90s sold many knives over $200. I still have an carry a Benchmade 960 that cost me near $400, not an EDC, but a classy carry. I still carry my Stryker, 940 and Ares from before 2000. I have always been an Allen Elishewitz fan, as well as Osborne.

Hey Metal Complex! Thank you for my new hobby! I am very gratefull for the sucking hole in my wallet. Just fantastic. But i have a serious question. Here in the Netherlands the prices are a bit more steep so my first month i have been bying more budget minded knifes. Bought the Buck 119, Ka Bar, Civivi ExOne Wood and Damascus, Civivi Vision FG Ivory Damascus ( Just fantastic) Böker Magnum Bluejay( two times, once for a friend) Böker Magnum Toxicofera ( because of daily use and only 23 euro's) Civivi mini praxis as a gift for an lady colleague. But But But!!!! My question!!! The first one I bought was the Ganzo Firebird Flipper. 60 euro's. The detent on that one is amazing. It's like an automatic! As if it is spring loaded. Haven't found the same feeling on another edc. And i'm not sure if i ever would buy again a more expensive knife. Are there any other knifes that you would recommend that have the same feel and snappy detent? Thank you so much for an reply. Helping a new knife junkie coping with his second month😅
