Ranking My Entire Pocket Knife Collection

[@Cojomo1]

wake up babe I just found out Seth V from KnifeCenter has his own channel and has an hour long video of his collection

[@F0XRunner]

This was my immediate reaction just now

[@zacharysherry2910]

😂

[@chrisjohnson9542]

Hey Felix from Golden sun. I loved your game as a kid and entered a drawing of you into the county fair when I was 16. Good to see you are alive and well. How's Wayard?

[@collingodbey3737]

I'm up!

[@hdrider2071]

Yep !

[@lukescrase5134]

No hype, no over emphasis on price or materials...just pure enthusiasm and appreciation for knives, use and design. One of the best knife videos of recent history💪💪

[@GoONiE_EDC]

@lukescrase5134 💯 I concur

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Not really.

[@Steelydan670]

Bro… best possible intro. You’re the man, Seth. I love that you have your own channel now.

[@benbanters]

I’m a simple man. Seth makes video. I watch.

[@paullordi5154]

I am sorry, but all of those spidercos with the plastic candles. I just can’t stand not one of them carbon fiber G 10 titanium all 1 million times better than that plastic crap

[@ADeadlyFerret]

Watching $400 knives knowing I’m only going to open Amazon boxes with them

[@mangobadger]

Most exciting knife debut yet. The intro! The collection! The hair! But seriously, your insight into what makes knives excellent is unique, informative and genuinely beneficial to the conversation. Instant subscribe. I can’t wait to see what you share next.

[@THE-HEREMIT]

You're not only a knife collector and a user, but also a sharpening „connesoire“. Even people who knows sharpening do enjoy sharpening videos. Sharing your knowledge on this would make a lot of knife-fans happy. Thanks for all your efforts

[@blue_tanium9685]

Seth V! This was the best “knife” video I’ve watched in a long time man. - pure enthusiast gold. Please do more!

[@velvetine74]

Seth has always had a super chill relaxing presentation style, good stuff!

[@realbroggo]

I really really love listening to collectors explain the reasons behind their rankings and why they purchased a particular blade. I found my self agreeing and disagreeing throughout the video. Really loved that your focus was on the practicalities of the blades and not just the usual a regurgitation of materials & specs which really mean nothing. I admit I was hurt when you dissed my beloved ParaMilitary 2 but good news - I'll get over it. Sharp blades all.

[@mrv3a]

Loved the intro, subbed immediately 😂

[@HtownDooDooBrown]

Yeah... great tune LOL

[@nvalley]

This was fun to watch! Thanks Seth. Please make more videos!

[@careybryant7]

This was like a knife meditation, and I’m all here for it! Great video and channel name too

[@firstlast2514]

Hell yeah, good to see you on your own channel. And the name for the channel is smart... "Seth30v" lol. Perfect.

[@ericcnewton]

I bought the Spyderco Watu based on your presentation of "underated" or "less well known" knives on KnifeCenter. I really like it, too. I also spent some serious money on a Arno Bernard knife with no regrets. Thanks for sharing your insights!

[@Sanguivore]

Where'd you pick up the Watu? That one's on my list for sure.

[@jacbosmitt]

Very cool having another spokesman from a company with no biases and a true knife collector! Looking forward to more videos, and very witty channel name 😀

[@Woolsocks]

Chris Reeve and Wilson combat collaborating on a knife is amazing, both companies building to the tightest tolerance in their own respective fields. The fact that I didn’t know about this and Seth V is the one to tell me makes me less disappointed in myself.

[@stephenlukovich9648]

Now I know. You could possibly have the best knife Chanel ever. Keep it up I’m onboard.

[@793lavalightening]

For anyone else curious about the intro song, closest match is the song b3 from Chuck Person's Eccojams which is mostly just a slowed and looped part of Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. The saxophone part isn't in the Eccojams version though so was maybe edited back into the song

[@seth30v]

Nailed it! I did remix the original sample back in there at the end

[@kfadness]

Oneohtrix point never and knife culture colliding 👍

[@edcko10]

Ok just to clarify... Small Sebenza 21 in 7th place (55:35), Large Sebenza 21 in 2nd place (1:00:08) and Large Sebenza 31 in 1st place (1:02:00)... Ok I need a Sebenza in my collection just for that reason 😂

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

You made me laugh! I like how he added there was more in it than he at one time could perceive and avail himself of to appreciate.

[@AntOfEgypt]

Awesome channel intro vid, thanks for sharing -you have an awesome collection!

[@ddrod8128]

You rock Seth, straight up!

[@poncho151]

Excellent video Seth! I wanted to comment probably 100 times but didn’t wanna miss the next knife while typing. So overall, awesome and I agree with so many things you pointed out! Best quote, “I would carry it more…if I had less knives”, I couldn’t relate more!

[@sockeyetactical3733]

That is the fastest I have ever heard Seth talk about single knives LOl. Him saying he needs to go faster to get through the video and then still taking the same amount of time on each knife. Cool collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@halfbloodcarney951]

Absolutely love seeing the Watu getting its flowers!! It is currently my only spyderco knife in my collection!

[@tomturbuckle0076]

Really love this general well thought out overview of your knife collection. So much info to unpack. Will watch this or at least parts of it many times to come.

[@macsonalaska]

Awesome video and knives. Now I got some new cool leads to seek out. Thank you for sharing!

[@LAG3]

Seth, I was already a fan. You completely won me with this. I agreed with nearly everything you said. I love my Delica Wharncliffe. I agree with you regarding tip down carry on the Spyderco Military. Lastly, I have had more than a few CRK Knives go in and out of my collection. I was recently able to purchase a Large Sebenza 31 and I went with the Small Inkosi. For me, they are the knives that I compare everything else to. All the other knives are "in addition to" what I consider the best investment one can make when purchasing a folding knife. The Sebenza is almost as good as cash. They hold their value. I owned more expensive knives and was left wanting. I have a few Spydercos and a couple fixed blades on my want list. The only other thing I will buy are CRK folders. Your calm, insightful presentation is greatly appreciated. I will watch this again.

[@Leviathanshadex]

This was an incredibly impressive video. I can tell that you hold a true appreciation for knives, and can really empathize with the types of sentiments that lead people to collect them. The fact that you had good things to say about every knife in your collection went a long way towards adding value to the content, and calming everyone's feelings, since even I came into this hoping to see my favorite knife near the top of the list. Given your presentation style, and your willingness to highlight the benefits of all the knives in your collection, I think this would have been an equally enjoyable viewing experience even if my favorite was at the bottom of your list.

[@seth30v]

Glad you enjoyed it! The ranking was a fun thought experiment and organizing principle for the video but you’re right, it's all about the knives.

[@timtim4525]

excellent "real talk" video......."a much better Seth than the other Seth on KnifeCenter, for sure". I didn't know you had all this in you. I didn't even like you much ...on KnifeCenter... now I have a whole different perspective. You are AWESOME.

[@CityEDC]

Outstanding, Mr. V! Subscribed and Notifications on! Bring it! Your insights are always interesting and informative. I love that you don't fear challenging conventional wisdom, or confirming it when you agree. Looking forward to more videos!

[@morgizmo87]

Hey man, what a whooper of a first video, and well done. Im 15 minutes in presently but really connect with your preferences and thought process. Spyderco is probably my favorite brand overall, and moki is so underrated. I love backlocks and Japanese knives. The Stretch and more recently the Leafjumper are some of my all time favorite users.

[@s2kmetal]

Love the video Seth. The content reflects how much thought you put into the list. It's nice to see a content creator that uses all his knives. It is also refreshing to have some light shone on some knives that aren't on everyone else's lists.

[@xanoks1116]

What a banger of a video, was a bit disappointed that this is the only video and I couldn't binge for hours :D

[@zjgw72]

Thanks Seth for the effort you put into the video I really appreciate all the knowledge that your passing on.

[@albertoa.rodriguez-toro3277]

I have been describing the double click on knives as a flam for years!!!!! I did not expect that but definitely enjoyed it!

[@ST-ue5fb]

Seth - that was a fantastic presentation of your incredible knife collection. Thank you.

[@cody3078]

Very happy to see the Watu (so high) on this list. It’s an amazing knife and seriously underrated!

[@Nazguloid]

No collection is complete without a little Sanrenmu knife or two :D My first "quality" locking knife from some 6-7 years ago is a little SRM 6040 that resides on my car keys to this day. It is for sure my most used and useful knife (besides the ones in the kitchen), it came to the rescue so many times. Until I bought it, my idea of a pocket knife was either a swiss army knife or a rickety, wobbly fleamarket Chinese knife. When I felt that solid lockup and overall sturdiness of a such small knife, I was blown away. I was so frustrated I could not flick it open with the thumbstuds like I saw on the Youtubz. Bear in mind it is a stiff, tiny, backlock, but I eventually got it to flick out after many hours of practice, polishing the washers, tuning the pivot, etc. Don't get me started how my brain exploded when I got one of their 7010 Sebenza copies. After that the big SRM Land 911, the rabbit hole got deeper and deeper... To this day I have hoarded over 120 folders, from various brands and price points. Still, the SRM 6040 remains one of my favourites.

[@Layzboyedc]

I want to thank you for your amazing work on this project as well as I have ever seen in anyone's knife collection!! I have learned more about the history of Spyderco in this video than I can ever imagine. I have hated Spyderco knives for their shitty handles and the ugliest looking knives ever. I have recently broke down and bought a Yojimbo 2,Manix 2, and PM2 just to have in my collection basically to make comparison with most reviews on KZbin and shut my friends up for years of consistent harassment on my lack of experience in the hobby 😂. I have modified all of them to AWT scales and all the latest internals and I like them. I have to say that I give you some of the utmost respect for your collection and the dedication to the ability to keep all of them in the best condition of actual users and the perspective from actually working with them in edc! Fantastic video presentation dude! Thank you!

[@antpassalacqua]

great video, i only buy from KC these days because of the great videos you and david produce. Great work, successful advertisement

[@F0XRunner]

Its Seth V! And he's talking about his own knife collection! LETS GO!

[@ChrisBethuy]

Great video Seth! I learned a ton listening to you while you explained your thoughts behind each knife in your collection. Looking forward to what comes next! I am about 2 years in on officially collecting knives myself. Keep the knowledge and discussions coming.

[@stuartb9194]

Debut vid .... nailed it!

[@krazykat64]

I really enjoyed this simply for the fact that it exposed me to some knives I wasn't even aware of, like the Spartan Astor which is now my new work knife. Love that thing.

[@vexor7]

Glad to see your collection man, always loved your content on Knife center. Keep up the great work!

[@Corrosion_Proof]

What a fantastic video. Please keep it coming.

[@Evan-do9zd]

I can’t believe this dude has sick knives and is a drummer I thought I was the only one and I do love me some flams😂

[@AerialTraveler]

Nice to see you on your own channel with your own collection. Love the full length video format and opening scene. Subscribed.

[@loddiedottie]

Absolute banger of a collection video! Easy sub and can't wait to see what else you post or share!

[@2Bstrifeless]

Feeling the genuine love for this crazy thing we do. Great video Seth. I started taking notes part way through and now have a few more to check out.

[@Hunac-Ceel]

looking forward to more videos from you dude, Great stuff

[@parkewalton]

There were some major surprises for me. The spydie chef being rated so high. That knife with the massive fullers was a “what knife is that?!” moment. The OZ being ranked as low as it was. But gotta love this stuff. This is HIS collection and HIS list and I was here for it. Need to get me a Sebenza someday. I am sold. I own a umnumzaan but that will not be my only CRK now. This man LOVES him some spyderco, so do I.

[@dfgerherbduh3102]

At work atm so I can’t watch this but I’m gonna save it to my watch later playlist for when I get home. Hyped to see more content from you Seth.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@raika19eighty6]

Seth! Happy to see you on the tubes~ The set up looks clean. Had to mention… I’m a para 3 cruwear fan! I’d the straggler wants a fam in Japan, I’m the man. 🎉 looking forward to the next video and beyond! ❤

[@ramonade_knives]

Great video man ! I totally agree with you on the Stretch XL G10 needing scales to match with its swagger. I made myself some Unigold fatcarbon scales to go full "Pimp my Knife" and can't say enough good things about it now.

[@B3DROCK]

So glad you started your own channel….great list!

[@jimhimbo]

This is definitely a rewatch - when I need to rekindle the joy of my own collection ! Or just to recalibrate , excellent video!

[@marcmiller2916]

This was really great. Thanks for putting it together.

[@rotorbob]

I loooove the StabNana! If I could find a yellow and black one, I’d buy it immediately!!!😂

[@patrickkowaluk1496]

love to see that you have your own channel now, Awesome video Seth.

[@Sanguivore]

Great video, Seth. Fantastic picks all around, it was fun to see the collection and here your input on the designs and history. And I gotta say I agree wholeheartedly with the top picks.

[@Cereal.Fidgeter]

I like a lot of the decisions and reasoning to your collection. You're now the reason I want a Sebenza, thanks Seth lol

[@timothykitzmann3124]

I really appreciate your insight on the placement you put on your collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@HeavySetTactical409]

Cool video Seth. Nice to hear soem back story. Really respect you guys at knife center over blade hq by far. Atleast your real knife enthusiasts lol

[@davethebarber62920]

I like that you gave some love to Moki Knives.

[@seanmarino8273]

Seth keep the content coming. You got strange likable demeanor to you.. plus your well known from the center... go for it! And great job

[@marsjam4117]

Most enjoyable knife video I've watched in some time. Bravo!

[@Sam_the_raven]

I love everything about this video. Thank you for sharing, Seth!

[@seth30v]

Glad you enjoyed it! Good to see you here on YT.

[@primalthingsome]

Fantastic content, I enjoyed every second of it. Slightly different taste than mine and that's great. Thank you!

[@zoothief]

Hell yes Seth has a channel… subbed. Glad to get in in the beginning

[@micahmatyi131]

He said medium fancy!! Love it!!

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

IKR?

[@Rugaard_DK]

a good roundup, keep it up Seth

[@ProfessionalNoodler]

What's up Seth, great to see your own content!

[@matthebert7453]

Fantastic video! Love to see all the different designs!

[@joshmcmanis5767]

Great collection. Great video.

[@Logan2070]

Nice collection and well thought out ranking.

[@Zachary_Pacheco]

Great video Seth! Thank you for your honest and personal opinion on all of your knives! ❤

[@slick_slicers]

I almost didn’t watch this simply because it was over an hour, but I’m really glad I did. The highlights for me was the High position of the Enzo./Bisa knives. I’m in the UK so I have a number of Enzo PK70's which have been, and remain my favourite UK EDC knives. I have been collecting for over 50 years, and obviously have accumulated a lot of knives, but the Enzo is hard to beat!

[@SharpenedSteel78]

Very cool to see you have your own KZbin channel now! Awesome video for your first video! It's already at 15K views! That's some great results (views) for your first video on your new channel. Great job Seth!

[@DavidJohnson-ol1cv]

I hope to see many more videos from you. I always find your opinions very interesting and want to hear more of them. Thanks

[@808HasBeen]

Glad you popped up on my my feed. Subscribed before watching. Great video!

[@Timberfall_craft]

Great to see you starting up your own KZbin! Cheers

[@vanemaster4345]

Blade Steel. Edge retention. Work knife. Hard use. Edc. Toughness. IKBS Ball Bearings. Phosphor Bronze washers. Sculpted Titanium pocket clip. Timascus. 154CM Wire cutters. Cutting task. Cardboard processing. Letter opening. Almost perfect. Ergonomics.

[@Mark-e1d6l]

Keep the videos coming Seth!

[@Uncle_Red]

I like tip down, and appreciate companies who give me that option.

[@dogoargentinoedc]

I'm soo happy men , thanks for this content

[@danegavrilovski]

Small sebenza 31 is the best edc knife ever made. Nice video for your video on your channel!

[@the_swinging_axe]

Hey man! So great to see your KZbin video AND a collection/ranking video!!! Loved your perspective and collection. I did the same thing with mine, and my medalists are #3 Benchmade Bailout (aluminum, 3V, Lynchnw clip, backspacer delete), #2 Zieba S3 Ostasz (a custom with wide black g10/TI handle and a hollow ground clip point) and #1.....😊large 31 with a s45vn drop point and black micarta inlay. Peak user

[@clarkbarenthusiast6223]

Glad to see the Socom Elite so high up. I paid that knife zero attention until I saw one in a store and decided to check it out on a whim. I was sold instantly

[@elde667]

Just a well done, thoughtful tour of an extensive collection. Terrific video…..thanks so much to the presenter!

[@buckaroobanzai2551]

Super pumped to swe you on your own channel now. Awesome dude!

[@sophtware_slump]

This is a great knife video but also a great podcast episode you can just, sleep while listening

[@toddaustin3189]

My new favorite knife guy gets right to the point

[@Capin91]

Great intro & thumbnail _&_ channel name.. outta the gate super strong! I feel like in a different decade you would have a pbs show haha, such a calm presentation

[@unfi6798]

Yo..sup Seth.! Found your channel while surfing, Was rather surprised but pleasantly excited especially with that Lovelace collab..! DCA must be jealously proud of your new endeavour. All we need now is for Thomas to review all his bar blades. There is nothing like a bit of competition in the knife community upscaling the quality & designs Looking forward to your giveaways (maybe)or even do a swap/sales episode etc. It's kind of strange that we don't hear "larger than average". Excellent vid mate. Congrats mate, got yourself a new sub from Christmas Island & Australia.

[@TheyllNeverGetMe]

Way to go man. This is an awesome video. Love it.

[@ancientdragon3247]

Hi from Italy. Very good collection. I’m a Spyderco collector and i prefer the production 2000/2010…Chowke is fantastic knife, wonderful shape

[@noahmarshall3163]

Saw Delica 4 in thumbnail and skipped to the part where he confirms it is indeed an excellent knife, exits video satisfied with a purchase I made well over a decade ago.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

4:20 I could not source a Hap 40 SUS 410 Spyderco for nothing. I ordered a grey Delica to have what Nick Shabazz had and saw the wharnrcliffe version on the site, back when Blade HQ had a brick & Mortar in American Fork. I couldn't believe it because it ticked so many boxes for me. They both came and i never opened the gray, but carried only the wharnie for over a year. It was my favorite and then one day I got a chance to get a HAP 40 and it was my favorite model! WHOO HOO! Now I also have what Seth V has! Coolness!
