New EDC WORK Knife - Spyderco Knife Shootout & Comparison

Please Like and Thumbs up! It REALLY Helps my exposure! Also feel free to Subscribe if you enjoy!
- No more cheap ($30-$60) knives for WORK! I needed to choose a new WORK folding knife to carry edc as a Park Ranger in Florida. Out in the field you need a versatile and tough folder! In this video I talk about the differences between the 5 knives on the table, my likes, dislikes, and my reasoning behind choosing the knife that I chose in the end.
The Shootout/Comparison was between:
Native 5 Lightweight
Manix 2 Lightweight
Delica 4 Lightweight
Para 3
Paramilitary 2 PM2

You've picked the perfect knife, without question. Plus, as a park ranger, you're one of the few people who can actually justify carrying one for reasons other than opening Amazon boxes, junk mail, and Cheetos bags. Superb first video. Enjoy that PM2 in good health, and stay safe.

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks! The PM2 has held its own. I have a good 7 month update vid on the channel you might be interested in. The 1 year update is gonna be coming out soon too so stay tuned! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@daviddeckert]

Interesting choice, given your praise for the Para3's ergonomics. I wouldn't have guessed that the small size increase in the PM2 could make any meaningful difference to the wild pigs or whatever ... especially if the knife doesn't actually handle as well for you. In other words I'm not saying the Para3 is "better," but it seems that you did. I appreciated seeing these models grouped together like this.

[@toddstamos89]

I love the PM 2, but like the Para 3 for normal edc. The Sage 5 is also an excellent edc that I carry on occasion. I don’t have special circumstances with my job that requires more, however if I did, like you, the PM 2 would be my choice as well. As it is, my edc only needs to do basic tasks. Good video.

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks Todd! My preference has actually moved on to the full size military these days. Once I started carrying one I can’t get away from it. It’s just an amazing tool to have in your pocket each day! Still love my pm2’s tho!

[@Young007]

Great review! Couldn't tell that this was your first video, you sounded great!

[@josecanedo007]

Good video, nice to hear differents points of view about why knife is suited o not to someone.

[@mikemcdowell395]

Great video! Enjoyed the comparisons and listening to your thought process in picking a knife. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos, subbed

[@kylewood8327]

Great video, but what park ranger goes out in the field without his firearm? Come on man!!! The Para 2 is a great choice for your line of work, I choose the Para 3 but I’m just a civilian. But, I do have the Manix 2 XL coming for my outdoor ventures. Great video and look forward to more.

[@londontaylor6492]

I don't have any of these knives but I've been looking to get a few of them and this helped me

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks! That's the reason I started making these vids. Glad it could help!

[@gerardopietrantoni6452]

Good pick for the type of work you do. One question. Working in a damp environment, wouldn’t a liner less knife (no steel liners) or titanium scales been better to avoid corrosion? Great vid.

[@howardmanley3388]

I chose the para 3 Camo scales & Black blade just luv mine

[@cannonball666]

I carry the Police 4 with a big bright shiny blade because of swine. It would probably work against pigs, boars, and hogs too.

[@danieljack9214]

sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

[@makaistanley6490]

@Daniel Jack instablaster =)

[@blueline5614]

I just came across your channel. Your vids look good and I’m looking forward to watching them!

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks Blueline! I try to keep it real and honest regardless of how that makes me sound or who it might aggravate haha. Thanks for watching!

[@questionablechannel1262]

You should get a Spyderco dragonfly 2, really good rustproof knife. It's a little small, but it makes up for that with is usefulness. But nice to see a fellow Spyderco collector. definitely subbing!

[@truthseeker1581]

I chose that one as well good vid

[@John..18]

Hi,, I can't believe I missed your 1st video,, anyway, this is a totally brilliant comparison of some of the best knives on the planet, (imho),,, Yep,, I'm a total Spyderco fanboy,,, my 2 favourites are the PM2 and the UKPK,, but that's only because I haven't been able to snag a Military yet,, Really great video,, thanks,,

[@begrit9266]

I enjoyed the video. I look forward to more.

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks Brian! That's good to hear. I will definitely be posting a lot more very soon!

[@t_mac6866]

I just found your channel and subscribed! I really like the points you bring up. Ive been eyeing up the Native for a long time and think that will be my next Spyderco when I can afford it. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

T_MAC686 thanks for the kind words! Even though I didn't choose the native in this video, it's an absolute favorite! Definitely still planning on adding one to the collection soon. I've been held up by recent hurricanes down here but have a lot of new videos planned soon! Rock n roll.

[@t_mac6866]

Ranger Jon Outdoors good deal man! Stay safe!

[@reddyuda]

Great comparison video, thanks!

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

reddyuda thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it!

[@MS_249]

I love this review. Thank you!

[@astrazenica7783]

I assume he means a back up work knife? Surely a fixed blade is preferable field knife

[@jeffsmith50001]

Have a look at the Delica (Ganzo) 10 quid a pop.

[@modern-chiang-mai-pool-villa]

if you pick up a military or police model, pretty sure youd upgrade. Dont waste your time on the Stretch 2 XL....its perfect, but they went cheap with no liners and feels really flimsy, very dissapointed in what could have been one of the best spydercos of all time.

[@miguellodeiro9671]

what a great pack of info. thanks!

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Miguel Lodeiro thanks for watching!

[@harrysmith3502]

A bit late to comment but great video and defo influenced my next purchase!!

[@readyme]

Do carry a fixed blade? I would like to see a similar video on fixed blades.

[@johnmartinez4522]

Thank you

[@patricksmalleyes8163]

I aways thought the Para 3 was more popular

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

hi, may i ask, why a folder is needed? why not simply using a lightweight mora? and if a harduse folder is needed, why not a cold steel, which is proven to be way more sturdy than a spyderco? please explain and dont get my questions bad, thx.

[@FINEST-uz9ek]

I have the camo PM2 and the PM3 both are perfect can’t ask for more . I’m liking that native 5 also . Great video comparison good job.

[@valsahr5836]

Still carrying the same knife? Good video.

[@JamesWilliams-gx3rr]

Good vid. Do you have any more info on that study you referenced? I'd like to read it.

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks James! It took me a long while of digging through browser history to find, but here is a link to the article I was talking about in the vid. drm.kist.re.kr/DLC/publication/pdf/p-53.pdf

[@vickyvonstein2331]

if i can buy the 2 for 100AUD or the 3 at full price of 200AUD Which would you recommend and why? as it's mainly for work, smaller is better.

[@tariqkamil7853]

Great review!

[@kerpal321]

all great choices

[@zakbeaulieu906]

I have just about all of them on your video but you forgot to look at the police model I think it's stronger than the pm2

[@neirro97]

I like your collection

[@elmardx1517]

Fantastic review. Very helpful.

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@88chevyiroc]

Fine job on the vids, new sub

[@ricklewis1802]

They make a rust proof as well lc200 or h1

[@TE99810]

Great review! yet don't believe you can fight a bear with any of these :)

[@beanosmeanos8650]

I can literally fight the monke in my pfp get on my level

[@beanosmeanos8650]

Idk why but I subbed to you

[@kylethedalek]

Nice collection and take on these knives. And I have always wanted to be a park ranger! But it seems to difficult to get into. (I do have qualifications that’s should help me but they don’t seem to be hiring.)

[@krispybeats6615]

Back in the day... We used to kill boars... With para 3 sonny 🤣 Nah im just joking 🤣 Great video btw 😉

[@oddjob428]

Next time you see an alligator would appreciate a video please. Great channel.

[@johnbravo7542]

Your not really a park ranger are you? ;-)

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Last time I checked I still was! It's becoming a smaller and smaller career field these days sadly. Thanks for the comment!
