New Knives for the Week of February 22nd, 2024 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@alocasio5896]

Absolutely love that full sized Canary

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

I got mine a few weeks ago. The handle fits my hand so well I almost think I'm holding one of my L.T. Wright knives. It's crazy, but a $62 knife feels that comfortable. I've banged my Canary blade through probably 150 logs so far (I live in the country, I have wood burning stoves I still use) and even though we split lodgepole pine here as opposed to hickory, batoning is hard on any knife. However, my Canary will still slice printer paper, but it struggled with phone book paper until I ran it across my JRE strop. Guess what? It now slices phone book paper like it did right out of the box. This Cr8Mo2VSi is supposed to be the same thing as Sleipner steel or DC53, and I believe it. It's great stuff.

[@The4cp]

Any word on the CRKT Redemption ? I've been waiting since mid December. The original Ritual was the perfect size!

[@MrJankert64]

love the RoseCraft, and lionsteel. so beautifully crafted, getting all of them.

[@c62west]

The 3 Lion Steel models stir the heart.

[@kirkthorpe5392]

Finally some variety and novel designs! Great week for new knives

[@HonestArcher_13]

I'm really into that Lionsteel rounded barlow; slipjoints are starting to catch my attention! Another great one under your belt. K.C. thanks for all you do!!!

[@gizmaticopappy1524]

I love my RoseCraft knives. I AM curious what the HRC is on their D2 though?? Anyone??

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

QSP and Vosteed are becoming HUGE favorites of mine. My full size Canary is incredible, I've batoned a LOT of logs, and it's still really sharp. The handle is so crazy comfortable I don't believe I'm holding a $62 knife. I love, I mean LOVE the looks of that Gorilla, but I don't want a liner lock in a hard use knife. If you have any input to QSP David, please convince them to use their Glyde Lock. If that Gorilla had a good, hard use crossbar lock, it'd be an absolute BEAST!!! I think a Gorilla with a Glyde lock would be a better heavy duty EDC folder than a Spyderco Shaman.

[@vme8611]

The QSP Variant PE Lundquist design is very similar to the Kizer Banish by same designer, but bigger and no button lock. I really am enjoying my Banish!

[@Sub-AmatuerNaturalist]

DCA, what is your favorite slip joint to carry (potentially in a low medium, and high price range? thanks for all the videos you and knifecenter do.

[@danielhuff1397]

Love the Case fixed blades shown

[@samueljlarson]

Love the canary fixed blade but I'm committed to making a Kephart (with a Brisa blank) and can't rationalize buying something so similar to what I'm making. Also wish they would have made the steel 14C28n.

[@TXNpride]

Same here! With the same blank!

[@samueljlarson]

@@TXNpride Good for you. It looks like a great blank. I'm going to model mine off the Becker Kephart and make the handles removable and then will likely make a simple leather sheath. What about you?

[@TXNpride]

Man That's gonna look badass!...I was going for the same kind of style but I'll probably epoxy some blue and black gmascus scales and some brass pins and also make a leather sheath for it...I do some leather work too

[@ToRo909r]

That obverse wharncliffe looks awesome.

[@drewpfeif5028]

Digging that full sized canary fixed blade. I'll have to look into that steel first

[@NativeTexMexican]

I find myself carrying Sandvik more often than not... Never had a problem with it.

[@unfi6798]

Great selection of steel.

[@Xander_Park]

I have the original ritual in my collection, it's an awesome knife indeed.

[@kentuckyboy541]

Are you a Persian prince? Lol

[@Xander_Park]

​@@kentuckyboy541lol 😆 No, I'm actually a New Yorker 😎

[@anthonycampos7417]

Hey David and crew (Thomas) I actually have a question I need help with this time around. I recently bought a whole fish and broke it down using my 8" Twosun TS999 in 14c28n and . . . It wasn't a great experience. I was hoping you could enlighten me on purchasing a new fillet knife. I would prefer something with a nice edge holding stainless steel like 12c27 or something in the ABEL family but s35vn would also be nice. Budget is preferably $50 but willing to spend much more since this an area of the market that's quite sparse. Thanks again for all the content.

[@scottanderson7399]

This video is only several weeks old but I see the Knife Center has the Serge Panchenko Slip5 listed as discontinued??

[@TwitchRadio]

O man... I really wish that qsp canary fixed blade was left in 14C28N... I prefer to have the rust prevention in a outdoor knife of that size and the toughness as well... Yeah, Edge retention isn't quite the same, but 14C28N usually strops back better then this DC53 Steel... or at least in my usage.... anyways hopefully they come out with ones in different steel...

[@acid6urns]

i dunno, i like the idea of a large fixed blade in dc53. it’s similar ish to d2 but different and if it’s even remotely tougher i’m down for it

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

The blade steel on the QSP Knives Canary sound like it would be a beetch to sharpen (like reg D2).

[@Apeman_Actual]

All the slip joints today were goin hard in the paint! 🔥🔥🔥

[@CarlosASilva23]

Another Case KniFAQ question: Of the “true” modern Case entries (so excluding the bridge line series) which do you like the most? Can you compare and contrast the different modern frame lock flippers they’ve put out in the past couple of years? Thanks!

[@MajorC202]

QSP Canary brown micarta’s already OOS. That’s another reason I buy from BHQ, GP knives or DLT. I think Knife Center keeps 3 in stock of everything they advertise. At least they are consistent because this is the case more often than not.

[@d4ngerd4d]

Will y'all be at Blade Show Texas?

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Excited to see the Otter in a budget version 🤩 Case is killing it. Mighty fine looking fixed 🔪 blades 🔥

[@samueljackson856]

damn those mini ritual's are fire. too bad i already blew my knife budget for the next 10 years

[@blinkhornklinkhammer999]

That baby ritual looks like a good pocket skinner.

[@TheyllNeverGetMe]

I have seen several reveals of the new upscale ritual and not one has mentioned the lightning strike carbon fiber scales. Is that a trademark name? I thought carbon fiber with silver wire was generally referred to as “lightning strike.”

[@The_OG_MP]

Loved the Lionsteel Barlows and the Rosecraft Coke bottle design. Those were my favorites

[@Jekiram]

I really do want that new Ritual, but I’m over assisted knives.

[@florinvasut7980]

I would say that DC53 is kind of like Sleipner steel...

[@grahamblackall6305]

Is that Canary Kephart inspired? Looks like a budget Kephart alternative to me

[@LongshotLynx]

First two CRKT blade shapes at that size make them highly specialized. Maybe hay bale cutting. Mostly impractical.

[@rofferdal]

That QSP Canary fixed blade is sweet! You need to get VOEC-registered in Norway so I can more easily feed my knife hunger. Love your videos, even if they keep my GAS alive.

[@dommorris8163]

I feel like QSP really missed the mark with the canary folder and canary XL. The original canary had such cool spine gimping and a nice looking high (not full) flat grind. Also I feel like they called it the canary because canaries are small, so a full sized version kind of misses the point. Still a great looking knife, but I think they shouldn't have given it the canary name

[@timtitus2532]

Seeing a lot of anger in the comments... I had good experiences with you guys. Thanks

[@jeffrey-ye9qv]

my fav too

[@michaelwallace9583]

Ignore the difficulty of sharpening & with polished or mirror edge finish otherwise too many variables to answer in a short video. Let's also limit our possible answers to steels that will hold the edge longest 14C28N will accept an awesome mirror edge but won't keep it like the more premium steels.

[@joelopez3954]

I think that CRKT Ritual Mini might be an example of SHRINKFLATION. It’s smaller, I’m being told it’s “Better “ but the price is higher, lol

[@ĶČXXĻ-ĀxÐ]

Hey @KnifeCenter, what is the story with the CRKT Redemption? I never saw it in stock and it has said delayed for the longest time. It is the first compelling CRKT for me in quite awhile. When I saw it, it provoked that, "alright take my money" response. Too bad there was no way to actually purchase it, it seems. Any updates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@acid6urns]

it’s likely either delayed by the maker or discontinued and the site isn’t updated yet

[@knifecenter]

CRKT underestimated the popularity and the entire production run sold through very quickly. They are working on building more (as far as I know) but production schedules can't turn on a dime, so yeah. You can always preorder with us, no money down to hold your spot in line. -DCA

[@ĶČXXĻ-ĀxÐ]

@@knifecenter Thank you very much for the reply. I will have to put in a preorder then to reserve myself a spot for future fulfillment. Much appreciated DCA. Have a great afternoon.

[@swayintotherain]

11:47 bring the regular, XL and fixed skyline back

[@CuttingBoardRx]

Dave! Is the theme Joint Replacement? Or Golden Years addition? 420HC? My dad is 85, he ain’t shoppin’ for no knives. I’m a boomer and even I literally fell asleep.

[@gjk1504]

Man i really like the look of that Case Highbanks!.... But im bummed its not a flipper. I dont like the Clip point on the Longouse.... Love the Micarta and the Blade shape ... Just need it to flip lol

[@acid6urns]

that QSP gorilla is one of the best looking knives i’ve seen in a while in my opinion, if they’d come out with one with an upgraded blade steel i’d be all over it. 14c28n is a solid steel and for a budget knife is awesome, but i personally like more edge retention out of my steels

[@wattsmichaele]

14c28n is an awesome steel!!!

[@palibruce6464]

Please DCA any knife suggestion for home pool, remoat beach and or private lake shore? These are examples of no legal restrictions, very few people or family members, not a dives knife or survival knife, but where little or no cloth is worn, think bikini or speedos or just a towel, so no belt, baldric or packs. Something small, light preferable fix blade so no sand or rust in the folding mechanism. I am trying a CIVIVI D-Art neck knife and want to get a Cold Steel SuperEdge. Special consideration for creative body atachment methods and locations, ankles, thigh, wrists.

[@jakass]

Ladybug/Manbug salt series are lightweight, small, and rust resistant (damn near proof) UK Pen knife salt is lc200, under 3 inches, but lacks a lock if that's important

[@Invictus066]

"The trailingest of trailing points....." 🤣👌

[@tgonzalez1983]

Idk why the QSP canary fixed blade didn’t have a lanyard hole. Missed opportunity

[@madmax9664]

way to go on throwing off my mental calendar

[@watariovids1645]

I wish i could get those Macarta grips for the full sized Ritual. I like the color much more than the off white baseline ones.

[@brewblade8318]

Have y’all always had the smooth jazz playing in the background? Don’t recall ever hearing it. 😂

[@kennymckown8603]

Wow ! 150$ for nitro v 😅 , thanks uncle David ! From Florida

[@seanmarino3944]

Something about that ritual in the new size and color has got me pulling my credit card out.

[@CarlSanford76]

You actually do pronounce the "A" in Kinzua. I live near there.

[@ch-vs3fw]

Case, I like the Highbanks, but no lefty clip option = NO. SALE. Bummer, it's a sweet design.

[@ĶČXXĻ-ĀxÐ]

Can it really be considered a reverse Tanto, if the leading edge is unsharpened? 🤔

[@norsefalconer]

Imo, No.

[@jakass]

Lmao, yes

[@donalddicorcia2433]

Did Case just make a Speedgoat for the masses?

[@macmccartney5760]

It's to bad that case isn't a slop joint. Id love it if it wasn't a detent style "slip joint"

[@Stefanolik]

IF your reading this you are looking at great stuff love you kfcen

[@cylentone]

Love that "Baby Ritual" 😎

[@bamabladez]

Btw what's up with the tax now? Is it my state or Knifecenter doing?

[@knifecenter]

KnifeCenter has to follow the state laws. Believe me, if we didn't have to charge sales tax, we certainly wouldn't

[@bamabladez]

@knifecenter yes I totally understand that. I just didn't know if it was where KC Is located or maybe my state. It's new. Because I always chose KC over BHQ because of this.

[@dommorris8163]

Lol that rosecraft is definitely g10. Micarta does not look like that

[@norsefalconer]

Every Toyota truck owner should buy and put a Cane Creek Jack in the center console or glovebox. If you know, you know.

[@bradenchurch552]

As a Toyota truck owner and long time fan I had to check it out. Yeah you’re right.

[@norsefalconer]

@@bradenchurch552 Thanks!

[@jameskyle7943]

It should not be called a reverse tanto unless that angled part at the tip is sharpened.

[@norsefalconer]

Absolutely!

[@sethlange7613]

Agreed, but it's fun listening to Thomas take a stand regardless of technicalities and nomenclature.

[@goanddo2371]

LOVE that first new Ritual! So sad that it's compact.

[@athomehack7789]

I feel sorry for David C….. Has to be intriguing w/every new knife, but @ the end of the day, weird curved blades, same knife & w/now different steel & different scales….. 😢 I understand. Guessing it’s hard to re-event the wheel…. However, now it’s the same wheel, but w/a new colored or metal for the “fender” for that wheel.

[@stalhoodindustries8423]

The old truck guy is not outdoor-sy but the miata guy is hmmm

[@knifecenter]

Don't judge a book by the cover ;) -DCA

[@cameronduncan7921]

CRKT is cool if you’re new to knives or not a knife guy. And there is nothing wrong with that. They look cool but they use really crappy steel and charge a lot of money for it and they’re made in china. Kershaw is crushing them in all those departments and I hope their sales start to match how much better their knives are.

[@alfredjarry503]

CRKT Obverse definately a cheese knife.😐 😆

[@Darksjeik]

That bronze look on the Ritual compact is drop dead gorgeous...but those dimensions make it look like something that fell off a child's pirate doll....what a crying shame they don't offer the adult version in those colors......

[@stuarthightower418]

Why would I buy the QSP Gorilla over the Petrified Fish Bunta?

[@davidgarrett5671]

It isn’t D2 and it has Demim Micarta.

[@stuarthightower418]

@@davidgarrett5671 Doesn't D2 have better edge retention? The PF Bunta in literally half the price but that denim Micarta is pretty sweet.

[@davidgarrett5671]

@@stuarthightower418 D2 does have better edge retention but it is not stainless. I haven’t had an issue with 14c edge retention but I do my own sharpening and don’t mind it.

[@madsenlive]

Case has so poor qc

[@erict149]

Yeah, the edge on that Kinzua looked pretty wonky.

[@heavychevy4616]

i SO WANT one of those rituials ...dang shame they gave us LEFTIES yet another disrespectful slap in the face again by refusing to give us a LEFT CARRY option!

[@8dollars276]

12th

[@darkobabic7331]

why are you no. 12 ? ...

[@joeyho5134]

The Bridgeline Highbanks from Case Knives should really get rid of that totally out of place, not to mention ugly, clip.

[@dommorris8163]

It is ugly, but you could always just unscrew it

[@fancyhitchpin8675]

At least stone wash it to match the blade.

[@bronco1199]

So so many cool knives being designed and made. Such a sh*tty economy, though. We need to get the Conservatives or Republicans back into office. Oh Canada

[@darkobabic7331]

number 4 ...

[@ghiblinerd6196]

That first one has a blade shape that’s so non functional, at least for me. If you reverse it into a Hawkbill I could see it’s function.

[@priority2]

Who in the world designed the Case deep carry clip? Worst execution EVER! Come on Case, you can do soooooo much better 😢

Chinese fake Damascus common now $ 200 for a $5 knife. 😂😅😂

[@LongshotLynx]

The feature that differentiates sheepsfoot and reverse tanto is the gradual curve toward the top and a hard angle. That there is any contention about this baffles me.

[@requiscatinpace7392]

Case knives yawn 🥱! Oh wait a minute I stand corrected. I was very wrong.
