Hottest New Knives of the Summer | Weekly Cut

[@fuzzysniper]

Yeah...tried the reverse flick when fishing to change bait and spent the next half hour in the water looking for my knife.

[@SMKWcom]

Been there as well my friend, been there

[@wbwills2]

I can loose any of them in all sorts of interesting ways. Price is not an issue.

[@TheJb369]

I'm a cable tech I use my knifes to cut boxes open, cut branches when in the woods, cut jacket off cables, and many other uses. I would like to see the test implement one of those types of cuts.

[@SMKWcom]

Great suggestions

[@tammybier8263]

All the knives have great aspects to them, making you want them all.

[@MatisseStLaurent]

Lionsteel is putting out art. Those slip joints are dreamy!

[@EDCandLace]

Knocking out jack wolf at half the price. And not made in china.

[@SMKWcom]

Lion Steel always brings the heat!

[@elgatofelix8917]

@@EDCandLace exactly. Italian knives are the best quality for the best price! Why settle for Chinese junk when you can have Italian craftsmanship? Only USA can compete!

[@Silence-and-Violence]

​@elgatofelix8917 Chinese factories are regularly making better knives than all the major American knife companies. Don't let your xenophobia cloud reality. Facts don't care about your feelings or nationalism. I wish American companies were producing knives with the quality and pricing of the comparable Chinese brands. That's why most of the American brands have been going to China for manufacturing of even their $300+ knives. The Chinese are just as capable, if not more capable, of high level craftsmanship as any other ethnicity. They built the longest running civilization in human history. They built a wall hundreds of years ago that you can see from space. They aren't stupid or lazy people. Spyderco is almost the only major American brand making good quality for the money and most of those models are being made in Japan and Taiwan, very few of their models are made in America. And they only do that because they make utility knives, ask them to put dressy handles or steel on an American knife and they're going to want $400 for it. Benchmade is overpriced brand hype. CRKT is so uninspiring. Either actual Chinese junk or bad pricing for what you get for the American stuff. Kershaw is in a similar boat, the Kershaw lines are either Chinese or overpriced. ZT is actually worthwhile and a good value to money. ZT might actually be the best example of good quality for the price for actually made in USA knives from a major brand. And all the mid-tech and boutique brands have most of their designs produced by the same three factories in China. Reate is regularly crushing brands like Benchmade, CRKT, Kershaw, and even Spyderco. China is regularly giving us legitimate grade 5 Titanium frame lock knives with 59+ HRC M390 steel for under $250. This was unthinkable in American knife manufacturing just 8 years ago. In fact, the Chinese factories got so good they are now able to charge MORE than the American brands for a lot of their product because the quality and materials are there. When you can get grade 5 or 6 Ti handles with well heat treated super steel or some gorgeous Damasteel with some exotic inlays like Mokuti or Zirconium for under $600 from the major Chinese factories.... just wow. Benchmade would want $2.5k for that and they'll be jerks to you about it.

[@Silence-and-Violence]

​@@elgatofelix8917also Lion Steel and FOX are almost the only Italian factories making stuff that regularly beats the Americans and the Chinese for price to quality. Who else were you thinking of when thinking so highly of Italian knifemaking? The Japanese have been way ahead of the Italians for decades. The Italians have contributed almost NOTHING to modern knife metallurgy, design, materials introduction, etc. America, Japan, and China are by far the most responsible for the evolution of pocket knives and why we have such insanely good quality pocket knives today in 2024. That said, Lion Steel (and Fox for that matter) have been crushing the big American brands for about 10 years.

[@EDCandLace]

8:56 nope TC, spyderco has never put a knife out in k110. They have put out knives in CPM D2 but never in K110.

Great show Boyz, as usual! Digging the new Lionsteel knives... In my pocket today is the MASSIVELY UNDERATED Spyderco Swayback... I bought my Swayback a few months back & it immediately kicked everything else out of my pocket! This knife ROCKS, full titanium & sharp as a razor !!! People definitely slept on the Spyderco Swayback!😮😮😮

[@EDCandLace]

The sway back is slept on hugely, first reason is because when people see pics of it on stock photos they think it's a far smaller knife than it is and that slows it's sells because as you know it's a full size knife. I got one last year new for 160 bucks and its crazy good at that price. Even at normal price it's a banger.

[@SMKWcom]

There are a ton of unrated knives and we try to show off some of them but we gotta keep the lights on as well lol

That EXO gravity knife is sweet. The hummingbird if cute. I like the Lion Steel Shuffler spear point. I'm not sure how traditional I would call them but they are cool. So I guess you're not going all Joe-X on the knife. LOL. I would put it through some construction site and camp site tests.

[@akquicksilver]

Back whack the MSI to see if Microtech has fixed that problem. I hope so, that desert warrior is sweet.

[@stephangrobler5524]

International audience but not international shipping. I would think the “world’s largest knife shop” would ship world wide.

[@SMKWcom]

We would love to but due to shipping rectrions and international knife laws that can be a bit of a problem but thanks for watching and for the comments 👍

[@pandafox94]

Fork out some cash for a courier to ship it to you and you'll find out real quick how expensive it can get.

[@stephangrobler5524]

@@pandafox94 not really. I buy all my knives from knife center and its reasonably priced. I stay in south africa and most knife brands and models are not available in RSA.

Integral not monolithic. Unless both names apply

Yup, considering the handle isn't made of stone...

You are right, it is integral, but monolithic also applies. Monolithic does not just refer to stone, in machining and fabrication it refers to anything that is formed or composed of one piece of material without joints or seams

[@TCB2Country122]

In the machining a fabrication world, which I have a fair bit of experience in, monolithic is a term used to defined something "cast as a single piece" or "formed or composed of material without joints or seams" so while yes, they are marketed and described as integral which is correct, monolithic is also an apt descriptor.

[@FrankToThePoint]

Yes, I know. In the knife world we call this integral.
