New Knives for the Week of April 11th, 2024 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@joshuasharrock466]

Thank you David Thomas and Seth for always staying classy

[@mikerollins3088]

Hey DCA, as far as the Jungle Wear Elementum goes: They probably made 2014 because WE is celebrating their 10 yr anniversary this year 2024, so that would obviously mean they began in 2014 ! 😊 Also they use a 10CR core now for their damascus (previously 9CR).

[@Hexsyn]

Glad somebody looked this up! I was assuming either this or maybe the original elementum design came out that long ago.

[@mikerollins3088]

​@@HexsynI actually didn't look it up. I know WE/Civivi are celebrating their 10 yr anniversary cuz I was watching a Livestream the other day and they've been wearing the tshirts lol. Plus they're doing a sale where if you spend certain amounts you can get an anniversary brass coin or t shirt.

[@darken8649]

​@@Hexsyn😊😊

[@kermitthepog7063]

Good week. Like the look of those Civivis.

[@jonathanklein7875]

The upgraded Hectare is cool, but 2 things I'd like to see changed... for a 3x increase in price, I think the knife deserves an upgraded clip and not the exact same one as on the budget version. Second, a criticism of the model in general as opposed to a particular version- the knife would work a lot better with thumbstuds rather than just the slot. My guess is they went with the slot to visually remove themselves from similar Bugout or Racoon designs, but it just doesn't work as well. They could keep the slot but add the studs in addition if they wanted.

[@mikerollins3088]

@jonathanklein7875 I typically like thumb studs but like you said they may have been going with the hole instead to be a little different from those others and in this knife I'd agree with them. If they had done a better job with the hole placement or doing some milling on the scales where it meets the hole it would be a lot better cuz it would have more access space to flick. I also agree with the clip. Hate having cheap stainless clips on a nice knife or version of a knife.

[@BluestedSRT4]

When I think of Yardbird, I think of chickens.

[@mikerollins3088]

[@EDCandLace]

When I think of yardbirds I think of Ginny hens.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

I think of Clapton, Beck, and Paige !!!!!!!

[@scottmackey4182]

@@thehairywoodsman5644- absolutely! The true Yardbirds!!!

[@jdisdetermined]

Yeah, and not like healthy nice looking well kept chickens living the good life. But like hard scrabble, barely scraping by type chickens running around mostly forgotten or ignored on a dusty dying farm because the farmer is struggling with a gambling problem. That's a yardbird.

[@AbsoluteSeo]

Anyone else think the tail lock is pretty sick? I want some budget options cause you can get a long blade but also nice firm handle that fits your hands

[@Hexsyn]

I feel bad saying this, but for the upgraded elementum, that SPECIFIC color of green immediately makes my brain link it to z-hunter knives XD

[@mercutio99x22]

That sounds like a good thing 😂

[@im_incredibly_bored]

i recently got one of the limited edition elementums, and im loving it! very comfy handle for me and the blade is sooo slicey, very happy with the purchase!

[@jasonchatham4170]

Dear DCA, would you please give your opinion on what steel/s will take the keenest/sharpest edge? I realize that geometry is 95% of it however, seems like some steels just get a finer edge than others even if it’s the same knife just in different steels. Example you said Nitro-V takes a great edge but won’t hold it as long as some super steels. Thanks.

[@eljuarez9509]

Hello knife center people, had a question about tools to maintain the knives. What recommendations for tools needed, lubricants, and what is needed to remove water stains or blemishes. Thank you, you guys rock

[@danofiremano]

Being a Spyderco/Benchmade kind of guy, I'm kind of surprised at how taken I am with the Civivi Elementum & this New one in S35VN blade & Avocado clip is going into my collection!

[@unfi6798]

G'day DCA & Thomas! Will definitely get the Elementum Ltd & Starflare for dad's retirement in September. He always wanted a Spyderco Para 3, but these will suffice & affordable. We're still paying off Uni fees..! It's honourable of you to mention the Rock n Roll Legends, especially the late Jeff Beck. Always informative to watch. Cheers from Australia.

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

That T6000 is sick af!

[@joeyho5134]

Wow, the Andre De Villiers Crusher is a brilliant design. It's as if an Engineer had a fixed blade knife then had that " what if " moment. I'll have to save up. I will have it in 6 months.

[@parkewalton]

I kinda thought the same thing. A fixed blade folder, if that’s even possible. That is one of the coolest heavy duty knives I’ve ever seen. Usually that price tag would behoove me not to use it. But I feel this thing is begging to be used and abused.

[@Z3WHA6]

Oooh, speaking of that WE yardbird, here's a question for your FAQ vids: What are the best sounding folders available? That pleasing 'ding' that the yardbird made was cool, but there must be other folders going for unique and interesting sounds.

[@wes.killed.it.5511]

Most button locking knives (mainly plunge mechanism button locks), in particular models that come in fully milled aluminum or titanium seem to have a very satisfying **ting** when the blade tang makes contact to the stop pin during opening. My Kizer Original as well as my CJRB mini Pyrite both have consistent, as well as crispy audible **tings** when opening the blade. The MVP as far as opening **ting** sounding knives would have to be the Winter Blade Co. Factor. It's a proprietary magnet locking knife that is notorious for its satisfying opening engagement sounds. Hope this helps!

[@Z3WHA6]

@@wes.killed.it.5511 Yeah, thanks for the response, wes. Now that you mention it, I have a Kizer Cormorant that sounds like that. I'm wondering about other unique sounds too though. It might have been my imagination, but I recall DCA showing a Sandrin Knives Monza last year that had almost a whine sound on opening. Maybe because of the Tungsten Carbide blade? Not sure.

[@mikerollins3088]

I really feel like WE/Civivi/Sencut have been killin it, but my only nit pick would be them continuing to do aluminum for so many models. I like aluminum sometimes, but it scratches up mad easy and when its anodized it shows even more!

[@michaeljodon]

Crusher is an awesome new knife design I haven't seen before. The price is prohibitive, but hopefully others think it is as cool as I did and the design gets inspired into other designs.

[@michaelwozniak6237]

Will you guys bring back the normal drop point exclusive large Sebenza with green micarta?

[@bradjohnson4787]

2014 is significant because its we/civivi's 10th anniversary. Meaning 2014 is when they began producing knives.

[@2A_Chicano_Califas]

I Got # 1896 Of # 2014 Of The Civivi Elemntum S35vn

[@EDCandLace]

It's crazy the amount of elementums that are out there .. they sold so damn many of those knives it's insane.

[@mikerollins3088]

​@@EDCandLaceI agree. I'm one of the minority im sure, but I never liked that knife lol. I bought one of the first versions of 2.96" D2 steel and it was nothing special to me.

[@loganagolw]

Thanks... We know..

[@puddmuddle]

dang... I wanted that green insingo sebenza so bad, just came at the wrong time for me ☠️ great stuff!

[@qui-gone]

A suggestion to make a few KnifeCenter exclusive Victorinox Ramblers. While Classic SD is good, Rambler with the combo tool is a far more utility implement. Thanks!

[@tees2cents]

The Civivi is a tenth anniversary limited edition which is why they did 2014 of them.

[@danielc3321]

Some of these knives are giving "It's not a doll it's an action figure!"

[@katanasmith]

David C. Anderson. I love your pocket tango. Especially the nessmuk version. Look up the Watchman WF220 EDC. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery. I picked one up about a month before the pocket tango was available. Dimensions are the same same. Not as good steel and not the cool mkm sheath but nice for what it is kinda clone.

[@knifecenter]

Check out the Boker Nessmi Pro. That is really the knife that Watchman is copying. -DCA

Yardbird is what we used to call naval shipyard workers. Those guys are built different breed, they're all scoundrels for sure but tough as nails.

I've been asking for more XXL knives, ADV comes out with a beast, it's $800.00. Oh well, the search continues.

[@Capthowdy098]

I am right there with you. I am a fan of the overbuilt variety myself. I've been carrying the Gernade pattern titanium Artizan Proponet s35vn. About $200.

[@nathandufton3854]

I'd like to see the yardbird in pocket. It looks like for right handers the blade would be towards the inside of the pocket instead of tucked against the side like a normal clip would. Might have issues with the flipper tab catching the pocket on the way in. Although I could be wrong.

[@frankrice1253]

It's official. ZT has lost their mind.

[@JustinCase-em6ql]

Yep. I bought the regular carbon fiber 0450 from Mast General Store in Hendersonville, N.C. last year for $230.00. I love this version, too, but not for $420.00. Yikes!

[@chrisberner6039]

I asked crk and they have no plans to change thumbstud. Am i wrong or do other people not want to buy one because of it?

[@arisalphas274]

More new scales from Victorinox, very innovative! 😅

[@Hexsyn]

Yeah at this point they are going to have to do something I can't even fathom to get money out of me again. I want to root for them but I think they have become the poster-child for "resting on your laurels" 😢

[@franticflintstone7999]

@@Hexsyn The need for new models every 6 months comes from KZbin knife channels who find it boring when a company has designed something so well it stays on the market for many, many years. There's really not much left to be done in terms of a keychain knife. If there were an innovation for a keychain knife, why isn't some other company coming out with it?

[@Hexsyn]

@franticflintstone7999 I had to sleep overnight on this reply because I don't fully disagree. Vic has the Keychain size pretty well on lock, but if I were to have my wish, I would drop money on an alox rambler that has, say, s35vn for a blade. Maybe they could do a "for tinkerers" line of knives where the knife is screwed together instead of pinned? Maybe start using a box opener instead of the antiquated hook? Just spitballin

[@ST-ue5fb]

[@johnthomasroderick]

28:26 I feel you bro. I hate front flippers..

[@jerrypomroy2375]

Can someone please ask Eric at Spyderco why they still don’t offer deep carry clips as standard on their knives. I like Spyderco but the first thing I do when I get one is go to Casey (Lynch) and get a deep carry clip. But I won’t carry it until the clip comes in and I change it out. It’s freakin 2024…lol. That YardBird seems like an odd duck. The ring & spine mounted clip are features of a karambit, but it’s a button lock flipper. So you would have to pull it from your pocket karambit style and then turn it around to deploy the blade. I certainly wouldn’t advise using as personal protection…lol.

That QuQu reminds me of a cicada.

[@mikerollins3088]

@andrewkidd311 I can see that. I can't say im a fan of the Ququ, it looks too cheap/child like. I remember watching footage from Blade Show a bit ago about how the co owner of Bestech's daughter helped design it, and she's only 8. It's good for a young kid, but $70 for a just over 2" plastic knife that weighs just 1.27oz. I'm thinking you'll have to whip your wrist in order to open and close such a small knife! The other models are heavier but still 1.8oz isnt much either.

[@Benroe-yz1nz]

That s90v hectare is sick. Benchmade would gouge you for 500 for that knife

[@mikerollins3088]

​​@@EDCandLace You realize the S35vn steel that real chinese brands like Kizer, Artisan/Cjrb, Qsp, Kansept, Kubey, Bestech, etc are ALL using American made Crucible S35vn steel right. If you think China or Taiwan or whoever have a steel version "equivalent" of s35vn and 14c28n and every other steel or whatever then you are very wrong. Yeah D2 has an american version, chinese version, and there's k110 which is an Austrian version of D2. (Bohler) Japan has VG10, China has 10cr15mov, but the U.S. doesn't make an equivalent, because not every country makes an equivalent of each steel. That's why there's not a Chinese Magnacut! The only Magnacut that can be used is if its ordered by Crucible, like with many other steels such as S90v, S45vn, S30v, Cru-wear, etc. The only thing that could potentially be different is what its heat treated to, and many companies list what it is and these are all great companies that do a lot of business, ilso if they were making crap knives they wouldn't be in business long. Things have changed for the better over the last 5 or more years, and competition is too fierce to get away with cheap bs nowadays.

[@1980JPA]

$150 would be a decent price for S35vn. They're literally giving us S90v for the price of an S35vn blade.

[@mfc5808]

Not sure if you actually read these comments, David C Anderson, but if you do, is that true about the 3” rule in DC? I live in DC and I was always told under 4”, as long as you aren’t doing anything suspicious when carrying it (whatever that means)

[@knifecenter]

From the Code of District Columbia § 22-4514 - (b) No person shall within the District of Columbia possess, with intent to use unlawfully against another, an imitation pistol, or a dagger, dirk, razor, stiletto, or knife with a blade longer than 3 inches, or other dangerous weapon.

[@knifecenter]

To me (not a lawyer and this is not legal advice) I have always taken that to be a de facto 3" length limit. The "use unlawfully against another" is a legal gray area a mile wide that can be exploited against you, even if you are doing nothing wrong. I should say again, this is my opinion. Thank you for the question because it has been a while since I have actually looked up the statute. Now I can be more specific when I mention DC and my needs there -DCA

[@mfc5808]

@@knifecenter really appreciate the response, DCA! Wow, that really does leave a lot of grey. I can definitely see from the better safe than sorry aspect, keep it under 3”. I’d be curious to hear what a lawyer would say, and if there’s precedence on this matter. It is really nice to know that I can intentionally use unlawfully against another, as long as it’s under 3” 😂🤣😂 The law is written like “if you’re gonna stab a guy, just make sure it’s under 3” lol

[@Youniquedesign1892]

Someone please explain to me why we don't see companies make knives in cpm 10v??

[@EDCandLace]

Because it's costly to machine/grind. Spyderco is the only one that (besides kizer doing it and running it way to soft) in the production knife market that puts out extremely well done 10v.. it's sad that it's only in sprints as 10v is such a badass steel! I have been literally dreaming of a 10v manix 2 drop that would be the ultimate production edc knife imo! I have a 10v para3 and pm2 but good god I want a 10v manix so bad and a 10v native would be amazing also!

[@mikerollins3088]

​@@EDCandLacewhat "softness" is kizer running their 10v at? They also have only used it in 1 knife that was an exclusive that they dont even make anymore.

[@frankrice1253]

​@@mikerollins3088they use it on the the Harpoon fixed blade. I love this knife & Im not really a fb guy, however I own 4 of this pattern, 1 in d2 & 3 in 10v. 2 mini's & 1 full size. I carry this knife every single day on my belt. I did modify the sheath mounting to make the package a little more stealth. I dont really notice the hardness to be soft but I have no other 10v to compare. It holds an edge about as well as my super freek in m4 from Benchmade. I think Benchmade has hardened their m4 to about 62 - 63. Kizer's 10v is pretty good imo.

[@Youniquedesign1892]

@EDCandLace I have the kizer. I actually like it and it seems to perform okay. I know for the price it was likely that it'd have a sub par heat treatment. What is the hrc? Looks like I'm about to settle on a non coating para 3 because of the price,tho id prefer it coated. I agree with you on the manix. I have the manix in maxamet but I'd absolutely love one in 10v
