I’m going to go with the Spyderco Sage 5, Benchmade 945 and the Ferrum Forge Stinger as my fav EDC. To throw in a super budget knife I’ll go with the Kizer Infinity. Picked mine up for $25 new and it’s just great. Not a flaw IMO. Great vid btw

[@MrDarrylR]

I don't have hundreds of knives, I have 20. And IMO only 5 are perfect: Opinel Garden: $19 pocketable rustic slicer. Morakniv Kansbol: $36 camp knife that can do both bushcraft and some slicing duties. Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe in K390: $107 utility box opener with extraordinary edge retention We Kitefin: ~$160 hollow grind EDC. I have the bronze machined Ti version, and its like my CRKT/Ken Onion Ripple 2 went to finishing school. Spyderco Kapara: $233 (once less) culinary friendly EDC. IMO the best EDC design Spyderco has ever offered, superb ergos and sliceyness. Hindered only by S30V steel (a bit too brittle) and I'd buy it again if it were ever offered in MagnaCut.

Love the Dragonfly 2!! 🙌🏼🔥

G'day from Aus, yeah I get it, they're all my favourite too, haven't had a bad one yet, different strokes for different folks, you get what you pay for & sometimes to much, I'm a retired vet & live in a rural setting, my philosophy is comfortable in the hand, minimal blade curve, quick to touch up the edge for EDC general use, from Old Timers, Leatherman's, Ontario Rat's, Spiderco's, there was a time when things weren't as affordable, glad you mentioned the Two Sun, good value for medium to high end knives, haven't faulted one yet in more than 3 years, many designers, lots of designs for all applications & aesthetics 🍻👍😊

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Some great choices. I was surprised you didn't include the O.G. Ontario RAT-1 and RAT-2. I know they're dated and somewhat crude compared to more recent makers designs but it's just a PERFECT design imo and of 13 that I've owned including a few similar utilitac-2s (also a FANTASTIC design) every one has come with PERFECT quality control. Every one has had a buttery smooth action, rock solid lock up at 40%-50% and perfectly centered blades. And at about $20 to $30 for AUS-8A models or $45 for D2, they rank at the very top of the value chart. Yes they use nylon handles but the way Ontario textures them they look and feel 90% as good as G-10. Heck the texture on the utilitac-2 feels so good I wouldn't spend more for G-10 if it was available. They're just awesome knives. For anyone unfamiliar with Ontarios knives, check them out. You won't be dissapointed!

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

The Rat series is good, just outdated for me.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

@@WaynesSharpWorld - I gotcha. The newer stuff is definitely more refined but imo the RAT design is almost perfect. I would LOVE for Ontario to offer upgraded premium models with premium "super steel" blades, titanium, G-10 and micarta handles and improved fit and finish. I think they would be hugely popular if they did so.

[@NJames-dh6kz]

The rat is a great work/beater knife. Somebody needs to make an exclusive in cruwear.

Love all the knives with ambi clips in this one. Lefty Love is a priority for me, as well as not being a frame lock, and must have multiple deployment methods or minimally thumb studs or a hole, rather than just a flipper. Fun list, tons of goodies.

[@danielcox5849]

Great set of knives. I have a version of eight of these. My favorite among this group is the Ferrum Forge Stinger. It is definitely one of the best EDC knives in my collection. Another favorite that I just received is the Kizer Original. Mine was perfect out of the box and an exceptional button lock knife at a great price. One knife missing from this set is the We Esprit. The Esprit is close to the perfect knife for me.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

I’m really hoping for more runs of different variants of the Esprit! 🔥🔥

[@tchocopower5721]

I agree with so much in this video, and your enthusiasm is contagious. You can hear your passion in your voice and I wish my friends would be as into knives as you are, so I could geek out with them. 😆 You lost me a bit with the Sheepdog Mini and the Elementum, though. The Sheepdog Mini, as cool as it looks and as iconic as the blade shape is turning out to be, the ergos are terrible. Nothing flows, the clip disturbs the three finger grip and it's uncomfortable when actually using it for longer periods of time. It's my least used knife, even though I still love the blade. The Elementum has been surpassed by so many knives that it's becoming a bit of yesteryear's news. Take it apart and look at the quality of the parts. I mean, I love Chinese knives, but the Elementum is like fastfood. It does the trick but it's passionless, bland and cheap. The QSP Penguin set the benchmark for mass produced, conveyer belt knives, if you know what I mean. Take that one apart and put all the parts side by side next to an Elementum, and the difference in quality is instantly obvious. To me it was, at least. Still, I agree with so many of your choices and even saw some I hadn't considered before (that Ferrum looked great!). Cheers. :)

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it, my friend! You have me second guessing myself on leaving the Penguin off now. It is an EXCELLENT knife!!

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Nice list. With me I'm in medium large folders and they have to be "tactical" if it can't save me it's not getting carried. Oh I take most pocket clips off. Am I the only person who does??

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

I’ve heard of others doing that.

[@Hungrybird474]

Nice group of blades Wayne 👍👍

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Thanks bro! 👊🏼

[@acid6urns]

perfect knife for me is the manix 2. don’t care if it’s the g10 or LW, that knife is just perfect in my eyes and is easily the most comfortable knife i own in my hands. if i had to pick a specific version it would 100% be the rex45 LW model. once the crucarta version releases and if i ever decide to try the manix salt, those two will likely be contenders to go up agains the rex45 but of the knives i own my manix 2 lw in rex45 is just amazing. a close second and third would be my smooth black g10 and dlc coated cruwear pm2 KC exclusive, and either my magnacut native or my k390 endura wharnie. besides folders i only own i think 6 fixed blades, and only 3 of them have ever been carried. of those three i love them all but my bradford guardian 3.5 in vanadis 4e is easily my favorite, it’s stupidly comfortable with the 3d micarta. also, you should do more videos on fixed blades man (assuming you are also into them and aren’t against this idea)

[@sublyme2157]

SpydieChef! I'm super late to the game with this one, having only bought it a couple months ago, but for me it is a perfect knife. If I had to have a two knife collection, it would be the SpydieChef and a Victorinox.

Good show Wayne, my wishlist just took an upturn. I agree with you on those Civivi’s, just hard to miss with them. I already have about 5 Keizer’s on my wishlist, so that list just doubled in size. I’m just starting out so the Koenig ‘s are a tad out of reach…. At least until my wife kicks me out

I love your choices man! A lot I recognize, many I agree with, and still plenty I hadn’t looked at before! One of my all time favorites that’s pretty close to perfect would be the Urban EDC Supply and Voxnaes F5.5 in m390 and brown micarta. The blade shape, the action, the recessed titanium liners, everything is great. Another would be a Finch Knife Co 1929 in any material!

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Yea that F5.5 is phenomenal!! 🔥🔥

[@CombatBanana]

I have to disagree with the Kizer original because the button lock is so flush that it is awkward to fully disengage; because of this you will find yourself pressing it and the blade getting stuck instead of closing nicely. The button lock mini sheepdog on the other hand has a crazy nice action. Effortless button lock use and the heavier blade makes it feel reeeeeally nice.
