25 GREAT USA MADE KNIVES! 🇺🇸

[@SkunkPunch73]

Well I gotta say you just opened my eyes up yet again on some of the American made stuff! Some of them really made me dribble lol. I hope you and Kara and all your fellow Americans have a fantastic 4th of July. Much love to you all may all of you stay safe and healthy till the next time 🫵🏻😘👍🏼

KnifeCenter has an exclusive K320 with MagnaCut and Aluminum for only $4 more than the S30v FRN version which is nuts

[@chrisjosekuehl]

Hogue is without a doubt the most underrated USA manufacturer. Best value, excellent qc, materials, heat treat, their edges are the best among production knives, they do the crossbar lock the best too.

[@EDCwithDBD]

I also believe that if your knife has an American flag, it should be an American made knife! 🇺🇸

[@jeffrey-ye9qv]

i agree how ass backwards when it comes from china

[@johnj6689]

Had the Freeman 451 when it was in D2 and sold it a few months later. The striations on the grind are eye candy but are a flaw on the knife. The striations create a binding effect when making long cuts to slicing an apple. Where the striations meet with the bevel it also gets in the way when freehand sharpening. He only made the knife for a year or so and then discontinued it.

I LOVE the OG scales on the Rex 45 Manix 2. The black accents look so good

[@bobsmith2944]

Good video bro. If your new to knives this is a good reference point. Jerad covers most of the best usa companies and specific models. He also drops lots of advanced tips that u might not pick up on cause he speaks so quickly, do not be shy to rewind or ask questions.

@@sterlingstoots3215 It is a great knife in any case. Lots of options for customization, RWL-34 or Vanax blade steel options, plus a great action and beautiful aesthetics. I need to pick up a Cyprus now! Met Nicolas at Bladeshow, he's also a really nice guy!

I would like you do an entire vidéo over the OTF. There is a few of companies who made some. And they are very interresting ..! ^^

[@michaell397]

I mighty try out that s charade Tanto. (Still have no idea what a Tonto is), If I do I will do a full hollow grind on it. I did a hollow grind on my BenchMade 940-1 in S90V an it is a super slicy and useable blade now. It was far too thick for my uses.

Yeah I totally agree with you about the bell air the detent is just a little on the light side. Maybe I'll have to get some springs from kizer.

So happy to see the Hogue Myto, it’s my next grail knife, I have the Deka magnacut with OG scales, k320 aluminum with wood insert, I’ve got the knifecenter exclusive k320 with magnacut and aluminum, the exo1 4” button lock aluminum scales, and I can’t wait to get the Myto and hopefully I’ll come across a demo ad20 full thickness for less than $800, I don’t care of it’s machine ground or what, I love my 20.5 and my Arcade and I want the real deal.

I have a protech strider and I love it.

[@cornpop9262]

I've been looking at them. You like it? I can't decide if I should get one of the protech strider or just get a real strider. I kinda want the auto though.

Terrific Fourth Of July topic Jerad…..well done and much appreciated! (Except for the RobJohnsons error)

[@henryg683]

Jared 100% about the OG scales I put them on a few knives now and they all feel like they have much better action now and I’m quite pleased with them and their service!!! And it’s nice that they’re guy Marty is around in different servers here and he will answer questions you have on any of the products!!!!

Great video. Long but really enjoyed it.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

Have you tried the CRKT Redemption and the Michaca auto? Im very interested in the Michaca, I have a Protech magic i think it’s called with the sliding scale action, the Michaca seems like a more affordable user version. The redemption is a huge crossbar lock knife in magnacut, I believe Hogue is the oem for the Redemption so you know its go to be excellent. I think Hogue is making the Kershaw bel air too, I think I saw it mentioned at blade show.

[@ScrubLordJenkins]

How would the cutting performance change once you sharpen down to the scallops on the freeman?

[@jesseadams45]

I have the Tanto CF premium K320. Really nice knife.

[@phopeth]

Hey where did you get the thumbstud for the CRK? I didn’t know you could change them out

Are the Hinderers still failing so easily and often after cleaning and tweaking them?

[@hificat101]

Request Jerad. I'd love to see you review a Normandy knives OTF. I like that theyve come up with a clever way to advertise on FB (we don't sell spoons). Pretty sure they're assembled in the US from Chinese parts. Prices are pretty nice, but blades are budget steel like D2.

I will give them a look thank you

Carrying a Benchmade Griptilian (the best pocket knife ever made) and a Buck 120. God Bless America. I would like to point out how incredible the action on those Freeman knives are. I sharpened one for a friend and I got to play with it a little bit. Best button lock action, easily.

[@acid6urns]

highly debatable on the griptilian claim. good work knife but it’s far from the best pocket knife period. even in benchmades own lineup the mini barrage, presidio 2, and the redoubt are better imo but i’m a spyderco guy (i do own two griptilians though)

[@chasewells5464]

@@acid6urns I mean it’s the most comfortable, efficient, strong, and useful. I have batoned with it, I have made dozens of feathersticks with it, I have carried it a ton, and I just think it’s the most perfect knife. I am probably a bit biased because I got my first Grip for about $80 and my second Grip for $130. I got pretty good prices which probably also add to my love for them.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

Get the Hogue Doug Ritter version, it’s the real version of the grip, but has better scales, steel, action and fit and finish. Hogue is the most underrated USA knife maker, they smoke BM in every way.

[@chasewells5464]

@@chrisjosekuehl I do really want one of those. However it is $30-$50 more depending on what you want. And I do think it might be superior however it is a coby of the Freek, also by Benchmade. Might be coincidence, they might not of, the RSK might have been made and released first but I don’t know.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

@@chasewells5464the rsk is is designed the guy that designed the griptillian, it’s a copy of the griptillian or it was the original, but for the extra cost you much better steel and better scales. I think maganacut and 20cv are the options. And if you’ve never tried the Hogue crossbar lock it’s probably the best crossbar lock on the market. I used to be a griptillian fan, I’ve had 3, but the prices are getting crazy, while Hogue prices haven’t gone up or they have barely gone up, they also have a lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening.

[@kalinridenour]

Have to point out that Thursday Captains are NOT American-made. Thursday has some American made products, but the Captains are made in Mexico

[@shannonreeder1237]

Southern grind has some nice knives. I have a couple. Got 1 in copper that's probably best American made production model IV ran into. For $300 its by far the best American made knife for the price. I think k they do s35vn better than most

They F’d up the grind on my Cedar. Tip is messed up. Also took them weeks longer than they quoted on delivery. Also, there are sharp spots by the lock bar insert and by the tip of the pocket clip. Asked to purchase anodized hardware separately. Message was received and acknowledged by the company. Knife was sent with plain hardware without any further communication from Rob Johnson’s. Utterly disappointed in the quality and lack of communication for that price. Cannot in good conscience recommend Rob Johnson’s.
