New USA Made CRKT Knives Made by Hogue in Magnacut

USA MADE CRKT KNIVES MICHACA AND THE MINNOW, BOTH ARE MADE BY HOGUE KNIVES RUNNING MAGNACUT STEEL. I LOVE TO SEE CRKT DOING KNIVES LIKE THESE IN THE USA AND OF VERY HIGH STANDARDS, CRKT IS WELL KNOWN TO BE KNIVES YOU CAN BUY IN MANY BIG STORES BUT THEY ARE NOW SHOWING OFF KNIVES THAT REALLY SHOW WHAT THEY CAN DO FROM THE LAST VIDEO I MADE WITH CRKT KNIVES TO THESE NEW ONES I HOPE THIS IS SOMETHING WE CONTINUE TO SEE FROM CRKT. THE CRKT MINNOW IS A SMALL AUTOMATIC KNIFE WITH AMAZING MICARTA AND THE CRKT MICHACA IS A FULL SIZE AUTO WITH A SECRET WAY TO OPEN THE KNIFE, MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT KNOW OR FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPEN THE KNIFE WITHOUT SOME HELP.

It's better than dealing with odd random manufacture. I am beyond jazzed they are doing a magnacut!

[@user-ow1sw4mw5x]

CRKT is finally listening to the knife nerds like myself! Glad to have more options for USA made pokey pokeys!

[@lord_haven1114]

It’s fine. Like every other folding knife. It flips and it cuts boxes and packages, which is what most people who buy most of these use them for.

[@sirosis1971]

$200 for the little crkt! Thats insane, i really dont think people are gonna fall for that

[@acid6urns]

it’s a hogue. small premium american made autos tend to be expensive

[@mikereese15]

I love the look of the minnow

[@Leftyotism]

I am all about those news methods of deployment! Keep the innovation going guys!

[@JAMESGREGORYKULP1985]

I love CRKT knives. They make some really awesome knives. I plan on buying a CRKT MinamalX

[@BigTuba2157]

The spec sheet lists the designer as being based in Ithaca, Michigan. I would speculate that the name is an homage to his town, and "Michaca" would be pronounced "MISH-uh-kuh." Good to see CRKT doing some cool stuff!

[@Tatterdsoul]

I just started wondering if knife companies purposely give a bad plunge…to create built in obsolescence. Making them harder to sharpen in order to force buying of another knife…then another…and another…lol. I dig this hobby. New and new and still more new. Great vid Bud. Thank

[@P.W.R.]

All the people I know that carry knives just use them until the blade is duller than the surface of a marble. Then they either buy a new one years later or continue to use it dull. Most regular people that don't collect and sharpen knives as a hobby will not sharpen it for the entirety of life of the blade more than likely. Family members that I have gifted knives to certainly don't sharpen them despite carrying one regularly. Heck, I enjoy collecting and carrying as a hobby and I really don't want to sharpen my knives unless it is absolutely necessary. However, I think it would be cool to learn so it's not completely out of the question. It's just a choice and a preference to not sharpen for me. I baby my blades so they last longer, which essentially will make it last a very long time. I only cut light packaging (thin plastic, thin cardboard, tape, straps, fabrics). Nothing much harder or robust. The collector in me keeps me from really committing to hard use with my knives. lol

[@Tatterdsoul]

@@P.W.R. I saw a fancy knife in a mall. Leading to looking at another..then another. Like anything else you can go deep. I could not in a lifetime use all the knives I have. I’m a materialist. Always the never ending more. Bad quality fer sure.

[@orendz7740]

@@just9911exactly 👏🏽

[@orendz7740]

@@P.W.R.what do you do if you buy one that comes fairly dull? I’ve gotten a few that were pretty bad. I don’t sharpen unless I need to just because I don’t want to take material off the blade more than I have to.

[@wg5768]

A lot of companies jumping on the bandwagon to copy Protech's Magic Whiskers design!

[@gayegomila6285]

ILOVE the minnow!!

[@TurinAlexander]

I like CRKT because they make the weird stuff. I love knives with odd mechanics, and CRKT is one of the few I can count on to bring strange stuff to market. That said, of course I ordered a Michaca. Edit: Got it in the mail today, one thing I'll note, mine has zero play, it's rock solid. That may change over time, but out of the box, it doesn't budge at all.

[@clintcrosby6337]

That's really cool how that opens. Thanks Jared

[@SkunkPunch73]

Have CRKT had a sudden rush of blood to the head and just said oh to hell with it let’s just get some quality steel out! I’m not knocking them at all I look at them in the same light as Kershaw they both have done some really good work only for them to shot themselves in the foot when it came to the blade steel but it is nice to see them waking up to what the people are looking for. Have a beautiful day J&K stay safe and healthy both🫵😘👍

[@richardburns3543]

I'm a CRKT fan. I've had many of their designs.

[@BenCase88]

I would buy the otf Livewire Magnacut for $230 in stock now.

[@gayegomila6285]

Oh wow! Very cool!

[@kathleensmith370]

thanks for showing

[@nebulamask81]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is at 61-63. The Ritter RSK's in magnacut are also being ran at 61-63. Doug said on insta a while ago they were having problems hitting the 63-64 that they ran on the sprint carbon fiber RSKs in Magnacut in larger production runs. I don't know if they changed the heat treats on their Dekas or not or are still running those at 62-64.

[@Ox-Axel-Ox]

💯 this ☝️

[@krazy_roach1698]

Thanks Jerad

[@timwhite5562]

Kind of going off on a tangent here, but are "Ultimate Jeans," the same company that does the "Ultimate Hoodie?" Normally i wouldn't spend $100+ for a hooded sweatshirt, but it really IS the best sweatshirt I've ever worn.

[@windowbreezes]

Machaca is a delicious Mexican Breakfast. 😂

[@tgonzalez1983]

Very few crkt knives interest me. I like those other crossbar knives they had hogue make about a year or so back

[@davegoodridge8352]

Interesting

[@jaredappleseed7037]

Shoutout to stassas testing methods

[@Tatterdsoul]

Part 2. I like that lil bit of cardboard cutting lately. Always incorporating cool sh:t…J

[@larryzielinski7067]

Hogue Magnacut coated is 61-63, stonewashed is 62-64.

[@jkitto2008]

I was impressed until I saw the price of the minnow. 😢. $200 for a box cutter, unbelievable

[@MrCaissed]

Expensive for such a small knife.

[@xstatic-ow5mz]

I haven't looked into where the knives featured in this video are made. However, you did put out a video recently in which you wrongly claimed that the CRKT Ritual Compacts that were just released are USA made, which they're not; they're made in China. While CRKT does have at least one USA made knife that I'm aware of (The Redemption) CRKT makes most of their stuff in China.

[@larryzielinski7067]

Hogue is making it for them in the USA

[@jamesBGgarner]

Mike Snody did some educating on heat treating magnacut last night on Instagram incase anyone wants more info on it.

[@timtitus2532]

Good review on a couple knives I have no interest in. Thanks Jerad.

[@corymoore2292]

CRKT must still be really out of touch trying to give us automatic knives. Great review Jarod.

[@NeevesKnives]

Alot of people like autos but I know what you mean manual is definitely the way to go

[@GasStationKnives4Ever]

I like that Chodie Foster but not paying $200 for it.

[@Beachedwhale_]

The Michaca has a neat way of opening. My question is if it can open in your pocket when you're working? If you have to crawl on the ground for what ever reason.

[@NeevesKnives]

I doubt it, I'm sure it's possible if you try, but I don't think it's any riskier than a button

[@Beachedwhale_]

@@NeevesKnives got it, don't try to open with your leg intentionally when on the ground lol. Thanks Mr. Neeves!

[@orendz7740]

I wonder sometimes if all these different knife steels are just marketing. Like how far better are they from each other? Just because one has 3% more vanadium in it compared to another, I mean what does that mean and is it noticeably different 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@williamleidy6713]

Is the minnow built from the pivot side ?

[@markjones8958]

Not really familiar with the scale deployment. Just curious, wouldn’t there be an issue with mistaken opening, when reaching pocket for keys or such?

[@im_incredibly_bored]

I honestly have never seen a knife that opens like the michaca, it's a shame i can't buy it here.

[@tulpenhiney]

Well it's $60 cheaper than the protech magic2 which has the same release. Arguably better looking than the plain aluminum of the protech, and a better steel.

[@Leftyotism]

20:30 At least the screws are outside, meaning left and right of the clip and not underneath.

[@NeevesKnives]

but they are under the clip, as far as your pocket is concerned

[@alexmingorance8883]

1.68” blade / 2.7” handle at 4 OUNCES! Wow…. Throwing it closed at an attacker will hurt!!! 😅

[@brianc0019]

This guy loves every knife - what's new?

[@NeevesKnives]

lol thats funny when ive been the most critical, and have been through many battles with companies over my honesty, a review is not about love something can be good and not for me. i say what is my style and whats not but a review is just the facts so that you can determine whether or not its for you

[@EDCMECH]

There is always commentary if auto’s are cali legal but not if they are NY legal. Anyone know?

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Coated blade may lower that HRC.

[@NeevesKnives]

UT does

[@Joshua-lx4ck]

Very interesting...

[@Joshua-lx4ck]

On the Shhha-MICHACA

[@Joshua-lx4ck]

The Minnow sorta makes me grumpy lol

[@lukenodag5784]

If my current hogue knives are anything to go by these will have uneven af grinds

[@malcolmholt2010]

😂😂 chacacacaca

[@onemanhisdub1969]

Made in China and assembled in America or manufactured and assembled in America? Thanks.

[@stuartky1]

Made in American and assembled in America.

[@ronfry5851]

Seems like it could be very unsafe😮

[@SA-ku5oe]

How can they justify USD 200 is beyond me.

[@TerminalM193]

Damn, 300 bucks is STEEP....

[@lostcat9lives322]

Some varieties of stainless steel are not magnetic 🧲

[@terrellbeast7369]

I like it but, $300?...$300😢

[@jdisdetermined]

The plunge grind thing almost feels like some kind of giant troll inside joke among designers. There is no rational reason for so many knives from all over the planet to have terrible plunges and choils. It's not complicated or difficult to do a good one. It's almost like most of the people designing knives.. have never actually sharpened one..

[@brianc0019]

I'm not a fan of other manufacturers using others' ideas. What a Pro-Tech Whiskers rip-off. And the entire Benchmade axis patent move that ended-it was free for all of the other DI@K jockers to use their idea. What a cheap way of doing business by stealing someone else's innovation.

[@NeevesKnives]

then you should probably throw away every single thing you own because everything comes from another idea

[@sharqzilla834]

auto 🤮

[@TRUMPSUCKSBIGTIME]

$200 with those screws 🤷🏻‍♂️pass
