(Budget Knives Only!) New Knives for the Week(end) August 17th, 2024 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@boyscout399]

Browning, it's not acceptable in 2024 to just say "Stainless Steel" In my opinion.

[@mplsatty]

OKAY, this was chock-full of budget blades, I'm impressed. When you mentioned "Saturday we'll discuss budget knives" in the New Knives video earlier this week, I thought there was going to be a big budget knife question in the Q&A video -- I had no idea you'd be doing an extra New Knives video just for budget blades. I withdraw any criticism from earlier this week (& instead simply critique how today's video was publicized). Bravo, Knifecenter crew, bravo.

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

Nice to see a more affordable version of the Kizer Cormorant. It's really hard to see Nitro V as a huge step down in materials from 154CM. It just depends on what you're after.

[@nsgambino94]

We need monthly episodes dedicated to fixed blades Dave!

[@Alexander210]

Fixed blades old and new* Let's just have DCA talk about them for 45 min a month and Thomas can throw popcorn at DCA from time to time. 🍻🔥🥳

[@11shs11]

Absolutely! 🤩🤓😎

[@acid6urns]

i highly agree. would love more fixed blade content.

[@davidgarrett5671]

You need to get manufacturers to ship new ones monthly. Otherwise it will be about 15 minutes with 7 or so knives. Maybe.

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

I agree 👍 💯

[@jufuh1503]

It's definetly a good time to get a budget knife, quality is there and with good material as well (D2, 14C28N, G10, etc). What i don't really like is when they replace 14C28N with nitro-v. It's pretty close, but with not that much stainlessness. Really like watching your stuff, hope you'll bring back your old format for saturdays.

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

Nitro V is equally stainless while losing a touch of toughness to get a touch of extra edge retention But it’s like a loss of 5% to gain 5% Very marginal

[@franticflintstone7999]

I get suspicious when suddenly tons of Chinese knives all have the same steel. First D2, now tons of 14C28N. Can we trust these brands that the steel has been done right?

[@jufuh1503]

@@franticflintstone7999 from what i know the heat treat is pretty easy to do with those steel, but mistakes happen 🤷🏻 Do you mean it could be fraud and 8crmov or something like that? Could be i guess

[@Muhsaft86]

Woohoo my knife made the thumbnail for the second time!

[@marksaint2936]

Thanks for highlighting affordable knives.

[@MikeyD8716]

Looks like Ruike is doing a good job with their sharpening choil and plunge grind.

[@iamgroot4080]

Christ... It's not Ruike, it's RUIKE

[@tmutant]

The RUIKE Knives D191 reminds me of the Kershaw Piston from about a decade ago.

[@graemegourley7616]

Wtf is up with that browning flipper tab? Lol

[@techromancerzero2709]

24:26 - stonewashed finish is incredibly popular these days. And the reasons given here are the ones usually usually cited. It's not exactly wrong, but people sometimes forget the flipside: while you don't get small scratches showing up as easily, did you get shiny contrast marks close to the edge from cutting through harder materials. It's also not as resistant to rust as a satin, mirror polish, or even bead blasted finish. I prefer satin as a happy medium, but it seems challenging to find newer designs I like in this. And yes I know I can polish out a stonewash.

[@amc31b]

That QSP Ripley really caught me. I'm gonna have to snag it.

[@wethepeople6642]

Finally Some knifes worth looking at! Please more knives under 100$ Please!!!

[@BVIAS]

Why all the knife steel snobbery? 99% of us work in an office environment and only need a knife to open an Amazon box once or twice a month. LOL 😂

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Yes my 300 dollar mkm is a great under the fingernail cleaner .

[@nathanarbuckle3180]

Yeah but sometimes working in an office an opening a box with a 100$ knife is the only snobbery they are afford in the soft lives. Let them have it I say.

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

The Ruikes are cool , they look like good quality and price.

[@JustinBrown25]

DCA every 8cr18mov steel I’ve used has blown 440b out of the water but I do know that qsp kali is going to be bought man I love that .

[@alexandregraulle607]

Ans i love the Quiet Carry knife ..!

[@danielreitzloff5469]

I did a little research, looks like last knife, the Buckmark, is D2 steel.

[@alexandregraulle607]

It's not difficult to have smaller fingers than yours !! ^^

[@23432]

I have been searching the answers to 2 questions without satisfaction. You folks are in the business and should have answers! Toughness and hardness seem to be at odds with each other. Soft metal won't chip, but dulls faster. I can easily sharpen a knife. Who can fix a chipped blade? Not me. What alloys should I look for to avoid chipping? I have never had any problems with corrosion. The other question is why choose a wide blade over one that fits inside the handle when folded?

[@redlion145]

As to your last question, it's simply a matter of application. For opening a package pretty much any blade shape will work, but for skinning a deer, or woodcrafting, or any number of other tasks, sometimes a more specialized shape is called for. For example, while you might want a large belly on the blade of a folding skinning knife, you still want a nimble handle shape because of the intended application, so you end up with part of the blade sticking out when folded. Style can also come into it, many design choices on modern knives are made for style rather than functionality.

[@NaturalSynthetic777]

Great job over there at knife center guys! Always love the work and energy you put out :)

[@SweetTooth8989]

I like that kizer bowtie and the boker hebdo alot.

[@tommcclelland119]

Thanks for sharing these good deals! 👍

[@Sondre_Friis_Nyberg]

For the KniFAQ: I'm a cabinet maker by trade and carry work knives all day everyday. I carry a Mora Kniv Pro w/carbon steel, a OLFA utility knife and a Civivi Elementum as a 'backup' knife. My question is what other knife than the Elementum would you recommend? I would like a knife that complement the other knives. Folder or fixed blade. If folder I want a one handed opening and closing. Where I live I can carry almost any type knife if it's for work, but no autos. Budget is $100, but if it's a nice knife I can spend a bit more.

[@Sanguivore]

You might really like the Qubit, also by CIVIVI. Button-lock, nice blade shape, smooth action, same steel, aluminum scales. Mine is super duper sharp and just glides through whatever I put it through. I recommend going to a nearby Walmart and handling a few first though, 'cos on some of them the button-lock can hangup a bit. I've also been eyeing the Kizer HIC-CUP, which I believe is currently on-sale.

[@GOxHAM]

Bonus episode?! HECK YEAH!!!

[@alexandregraulle607]

I like the crazy blade if the Kizer Huntsman.

[@OGCAMG]

That QSP looks like a combo of benchmade and cold steel I bet it does well. Good kizer fixed blade and boker finally making a decent knife . Good releases

[@levijackson161]

What's up the the boker shade you're throwin

[@billvan5219]

14c28n is one of my favorites, and I suppose nitro v although the only nitro v blade I have is too small for my hand and thus relegated to "the box."

[@Fighterforjustice-l6y]

Why there is just few folder knife with tip down carry?

[@velvetine74]

06:25 We really need to come to a decision about what is a Reverse Tanto/Sheepsfoot/Wharncliffe because it's starting to make my head hurt, looool

[@alexandregraulle607]

The QSP is nice ..!

[@IDG463]

Hey DCA and Crew. Great channel, it's cost me a fair bit of $$ with no regrets. Well done. My daughter is heading off to Uni in a couple of weeks and I would like to get her a couple of knives for kitchen use. Something decent that will last but not crazy pricey, preferably under $150 US for both. I'm thinking a paring size knife and a larger versatile chopper/slicer. She is no stranger to the knife world thanks to me and has her own little collection (mora, vagabond, old hickory hunter and more+) so something a little unique would be cool. She's a nature girl so maybe something that would also feel at home in a camp kitchen. Thanks! p.s. I'm in Toronto, Canada, hopefully I can do a cross border order or find it here somewhere...

[@cintage]

Hi. Böker has come out with that compact Rockstub. That’s a nice one for a very good price. 440B is pretty comparable to AUS-8A or 8Cr15MoV, so even a tad better than 8Cr13 at least on paper.

[@dommorris8163]

The ruike p66 have been around for years

[@timtitus2532]

The Ruike P135 is a good knife, kinda heavy but a good sold knife.

[@dominicmcleod2051]

I would love to see you look at the Boker plus Pocket muk designed by gentry custom knives in a budget knife video!

[@jusme8060]

Nobody can tell any difference between 14c28n and something like s30v in real life anyways. Those ruikes look sweet. That 8cr has the geometry to outperform many knives with super steels also. If you see a knife you like, my advice is to get it regardless of steel. As long as they have a reputation for heat treating well, that is.

[@pandafox94]

If you use your knives frequently, you'll notice. I sharpen my S30v knives less than some of my other knives, so one would definitely notice then.

[@Xander_Park]

There's no S in the word "Anyway."

[@jusme8060]

@@pandafox94 you have identical models of knives in different steels? If not, it's more likely just geometry.

[@acid6urns]

@@jusme8060this is an idiotic comment. yes geometry plays a large part but not enough to make up for the halving in edge retention you’d get from s30v to 14c.

[@jusme8060]

​@Xander_Park if you are a dictionary and awful to be around. Otherwise, people tend to say anyways.

[@JustinBrown25]

Hey D.C.A. Please show us the measures of your hands so we can judge those knives better

[@leonkennedy4587]

Anderson ran out of things to say to compliment these budget knives and said the "the blade is pretty sharp". Hahaha 😂. You can tell he received the call from the Higher-ups. "ANDERSON go make a new video on these Ruike Knives! They just released new models and were receiving 30% commission on em. SELL, SELL, SELL!!"

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

The F 186 is a nice fixed blade ,even better with a leather sheath

[@lifeondisplay92]

Omg, YES! This video just made my day

[@jbeers1234]

Wow, the Hebdo looks super slicey. 0.07” is nearly SAK thin!

[@davidhelka8929]

DCA great video man 👍

[@Sammyandbobsdad]

Hey. Some knives application is just lookin’ cool.

[@Sanguivore]

Just speculation on my behalf, but the Kansept Niko comes across as a self-defense knife to me. Though that may not've been the designer's intent.

[@Gargola308]

Fixed blade knives are better than folding knives.... Am I right? I own over 30... and all of them are fixed blades...

[@joshuabriggs7114]

The Kizer Bowtie is an homage of the Brous Silent Ranger.

[@staywoke2198]

It’s pronounced Ruike

[@iamgroot4080]

Sorry Buddy, it's Ruike. Nice try tho

[@acid6urns]

i love the new kizer cabox, 154cm is soooo much better of a budget steel in my opinion than d2. especially on fixed blades

[@rwe1]

The Browning is the only one that interests me in this group. What's with the lack of flipper tabs??? No tab, no buy.

[@BillMoffitt1]

Please! More Chinese knives! Never enough! 😂

[@donavinkreischer]

[@ronin3635]

[@kwongyeang]

Wow those Ruike knives are oldies but goodies. I have all of those and 5years later they are as good as anything new I have bought since. I just wish the 191 came in a better steel like 14c28N or even D2. It is a hog of a knife.

[@davidr6045]

[@Arnoldyt200346]

Hi DCA, fan of your channel and by how knowledgable you are with knives and how many you have to review, you probably are entitled to misprnounce things 😊. If it helps, Ruike is the phonetic spelling of ‘锐客‘’’, literally trasnlate as "the sharp guy", and best closely prnounced as Ray-Kerh.

[@torainheartnet468]

Finally...my knife made it...p127...

[@codyneitte9801]

Phonetically Ruike would book "rūk" or "roīk"

[@Fighterforjustice-l6y]

[@space.youtube]

P127, washers or bearings?

[@MarkSchmidt-w6s]

Whaaa? You dont know what the application for a neck knife is?

[@jimshort9266]

The P135 looks great but what a let down that the detent is so bad. So many companies that have been in the game long enough to know better but still put out crap like that. It’s such a let down when you get a new knife and it just flops out and doesn’t lock up.

[@cfajardo6543]

You never talk about if the knife is centered in the handle ? That says a lot about the quality of the knife

[@davidgarrett5671]

Really that is only important on tactical and kitchen fixed blade knifes. Tells you nothing on a folder.

[@ElektroMoog]

What?? That Ruike is not newwww.... it's been out for more than 3 yrs now
