Just found your channel and I've been binge watching all your videos. Between the sheer number of knives you show and your personality, I find your channel to be my favorite knife channel.

[@tombeyer375]

Hey, lefty love, Gotta share a lefty experience with you. My dear Son, who's a leftyalso, did two tours in Afghanistan. Started him young, with the NRA JUIOR MARKMANSHIP program. On his 2nd tour, he had to take out unnumberd amounts of the enemy. Before he returned home, spotted a .308 sniper rifle, with adjustable Harris bipod, just for him! He couldn't get enough of! Also got him the H&K/Benchmade OTF, before his 2nd tour, which he carries to this day! Just hoping that I got him a good start. Thanks again man!

[@VersedYT]

Your smiles make my day, so charismatic! Civivi and CJRB have been killing it lately! Great list :)

[@Narrow_Gate_Forge]

Harnds Talisman is my go-to EDC knife at $40. Blade shape, action, hand-feel, all exquisite. I love it more than my premo Cold Steel and Benchmade knives.

[@AlexsKnivesSuch]

Yay your back. A great Channel and the videos are so great. One of my most watched channels

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thanks Alex, much appreciated.

[@Patriot-rising]

Tonto says "um you Lone Ranger , me Tonto ". I also like the Civivi Praxis. It is one of my all time favorites. There are several Petrified Fish knives also in this price range which are very nice knives. My favorite knife in this range actually is the CRKT Hootenanny.

[@desmondcantwell480]

I just watched the video and decided to order one blade, the Harnds Assassin from your link because it had a nice look and at the cost even if it is dead after a year of cutting tape on boxes it will still be cheaper than replacement blades for my utility knife. Not much into clip points but it will work for the little I need it for while I research for a new 5 inch or better karambit.

[@Evan-wt9zs]

Great video! I like the range of this vid, looking forward to the next.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Hey thanks so much Evan!

Great thick book of budget knives. I have a few of them which always is a cool moment. Thanks, Jay. I'd add the QSP Penguin.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you Spike! I love the Penguin, it would definitely be on my $30 list.

[@johnathanscott3407]

I like #26 plus I'm glad you did mad research on your blade. Keep posting video bro. 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@seizod]

Great Review! I have a Praxis in Damascus. It is a little big for a pocket but I keep in my backpack. I have the Civivi Elementum in s35vn for my pocket carry. It's a bit more manageable.

[@ronaldroberts1992]

Thanx Jay for the cool video.....I like the handles on the small feldspar as I have the big one with grey handles. I'm waiting for my dragonfly with g 10 to come in. Take care.

Love you content. I have that same blacked out Feldspar and I love the action on it. Would love to see a full review on the ka-bar/Becker folder from you.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you! I've actually been looking at that Becker folder, so pretty soon I'll have one.

[@andrewgarin2486]

My QSP Piglet has performed so great, as well as my Kubey 180 and my Ruike P128..another mention is my new Eafengrow 963...great action and blade came scary sharp out of box!...thanks again Jay!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you Andrew! Those are some good ones you mentioned. The EF963 was a big surprise for me, great design.

[@strawman817]

Great #1 choice. I bought the praxis on a whim and use it everyday. It's kept it's sharpness surprisingly well. I'm still waiting to see when I'm going to have to sharpen it, but it's still cutting hairs when I run it across my arm. I'm going to pick up another. Great video!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you! You definitely can't go wrong with a Praxis.

[@toreycasey1214]

I have many of those and like them all however for me Kubey Momentum hands down my favorite!

[@Nillaferilla]

Cold Steel's Finn Wolf around this price range is my favorite EDC. Scandi grind on it too so if I go into the woods I'm prepared to process small bits of wood no problem.

[@davidkurle5418]

[@CamboTriton]

A fine list. I would add the Kubey Wolverine, and CJRB Centros. Great video!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thanks Rich! Very good choices.

[@Pine_Soul]

Great vid! Some of my favorite $40-$20 knives are: Boker Auto's (Kalash is so snappy!), Ganzo G740 (good for larger hands, axis lock clone), Kubey Dugu KU210 (Aus 10, Wave feature, Cool Tanto Design, good action), Kershaw Thermite (reverse tanto, very slim profile), Kershaw Natrix XL (very slim profile, big blade, love the Olive/Black colors). Cheers!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you! I'm a big fan of the olive and black color combo as well. Sounds like you have some good ones over there.

[@pioneer540]

Awesome list as always. Pound for pound, yours is the finest collection in town. I too have an orange praxis in my top choices. I really like the large Feldspar. That thwack or pop when deploying is unmistakable. That Ganzo G7531 is kind of a larger Feldspar. Keep up the great work Sir 👍💪.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Nice of you to say Andrew, thanks so much!

[@CEG3RD]

I carry the Dozier and it's great, with two thoughts. For me, the thumb stud is too tall and catches on my pocket, so I had to file mine down some. Now, it's fine. Another thing I like to find in a knife is handle design that protects my finger from being sliced if I were to say stab cardboard, for example. Fortunately, the jimping is real and effective, so that helps.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

For sure. Excellent points, very well said Charles. Thank you!

[@efcruzado]

Totally agree with the Praxis. I was my very first Civivi and my latest Civivi. I got the Green/Black Praxis as my 26th Civivi purchase. Totally agree with all your Civivi selections. Also like the Feldspar AR-RPM9. I’d add the Crag AR-RPM9 to my list.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thanks Jcruzr! Yeah, I've been seriously considering the Crag.

[@GarrettsGear]

Jay your videos are great, i add them to my watch later list, and when I'm hankering for a new knife i just go buy one of your budget suggestions. With all do respect, this is the first video of yours where i found out exactly why you absolutely need your left handed clip. Much love man, keep em coming!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Hey thanks so much! I try to mention my disability when it's relevant by sometimes poking fun at myself, but I certainly don't want to come across as someone that's looking for pity. Regarding disclosure, I'm trying to walk a very fine line between empathy and sympathy.

Great video. I really dig my Civivi Wyvern. I also have a Bestech Swordfish i like a lot. Leaning toward another Civivi or a Kubey.

[@shawnsullivan1365]

I like some of the knives. The Sitivian is a good folding knife for $35 or so. I shaved down my lover with it.

[@anthonytrojan9501]

My favorite $40 knife is the civivi praxis too. Nice big belly & can take a decent beating.

[@Gman1024]

Ooh, lots of goodies. I like the arroyo, tradition, bull mastiff, feldspar, dozier, chronic, tenacious, ordis, vagabond, rat, backlash, scepter, dogma, brazen, and praxis. Good thing I don't splurge, cause I'd be instantly broke, haha. Thanks for sharing.

[@sabotagesavant5277]

Another excellent video. I liked this better than the 20 for $20,& I liked that one a lot ! Finally got a Feldspar, the micarta scale exclusive from White Mountain. Handle a little cramped for my hand, yes it's the full size, but otherwise great. Was already a CJRB fan cause I've had the most unreviewed knife by CJRB, the Brier, for a year now. Can't say enough good things about it. It's almost 3& 3/4 inch blade so not for everyone but I'm a big guy.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thanks so much! The Briar is a great knife, especially for a larger person.

Hey Dogan, thanks and same to you my friend! Nice to hear from ya!

[@michaelbush7696]

Great list Jay! I've always thought that the Tenacious from Spyderco was one of the best looking designs even as a budget knife. I never picked one up because of the blade steel. I just feel that it's overpriced with everything we have in budget knives nowadays. But might have to pick the S35 version up. And I'm with you on those barrel spacers on the Feldspar at #2 should be red or even black. Huge miss. Thanks for sharing and take care buddy.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you Michael! You're right about the Tenacious, comparatively speaking, it is kinda overpriced.

[@edgyoldman1503]

Amazing video and I love your picks. No love for Cold Steel? I would add the Cold Steel Finn Wolf and maybe the Cold Steel (medium) Luzon. Not a fan of the Arroyo (my lock up was not solid) or the Ka-bar Jarosz (difficulty deploying).

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you! I have lots a love for Cold Steel. I wanted to have the Air Lite on the list, but at the time it was selling for over $50. I see now that it's selling for $48.

[@irzyxelwj]

I like some of the other Civivi more maybe, but that wyvern scales handle is kinda neat on the blacked out version. Although I'd like it better in a black stonewash.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Yeah it does look good with a black blade.

Great knife review as always! Thanks for the effort in putting these videos together! Is that a Seiko "Arnie" watch you are wearing?

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Thank you Robert! It is an "Arnie", good eye. I've been searching for a good watch with a digital and analog display that didn't look like a hockey puck strapped to my wrist. I had no idea how unrealistic those requirements might be. I'm relatively new to the watch world, so I've been focusing on learning all the terminology in an effort to better understand my preferences. I've been reading about the reliability of Seiko's inhouse movement and thought it would be a good place to start.

My edc is the Civivi Ortis and it is such a great knife. Sharp as hell and holds the sharpness well. I didnt think I would like the clip tip design at first but then it just grew on me. If he is saying the Praxis is even better, I'd really like to try one of those sometime soon. I also had a ckrt M16 and it was very good too.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I like the Ortis too, great knife. The Praxis is one of my favs, but it's a little bit larger than the Ortis.

Hey buddy. Great review, as usual. And, glad to see you're getting more comfortable on-screen with what you used to be worried about (you know what I mean). Rock n Roll my friend. EDIT: I got to the end and of course, the Praxis. Yours is the same as mine, colour-wise. I've actually been carrying it and using it a lot lately and it is great for whole range of tasks.

I own the Brazen, Praxis, Dozier, Rampart, Buck 110, Ontario Rat 1... the Buck 110 was my first and the Brazen is the last one I bought (so far). I don't know if I love the Praxis or Brazen more... I even added a Kwik thumbstud to the Praxis like you did. The Brazen has 14c28 Sandvik and thumbstuds and a lefty capable clip which I love (that's my trifecta) ... but that Praxis action is impeccable...

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I know exactly what you mean about the Praxis and Brazen because that's where I'm at with those two. I friggin love the Praxis, especially with the Kwik thumb stud on it, but like you said, the Brazen already has two deployment options with a good budget steel. It's also offered in Micarta, which muddy the water even more.

Is that because of american and german steel?

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Yeah, the notifications are weird that way. Do you have the diamond rods for the Sharpmaker or is it the ones that came with it? When I use the ceramic rods that came with the Sharpmaker, it takes me a very long time to sharpen D2 on it. It eventually gets sharp, but it takes a while. I hope this helps.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I still love the Feldspar, I kinda go back and forth between it and the Praxis, but that's actually about to change since the Brazen drop point came into my life, more on that very soon. I have two of the Warspear knives (not the front flipper), which I've been playing with for about a week. They are decent for the money, but of course, I have a few concerns.

Where is the Honey badger? I got the Wharncleaver blade. The hole in the blade is very useable, it's got the flipper, and a pretty decent troil. It's fidgety as neck, the steel is 8cr13mov, but that's excusable because the action is sweet. I like your channel😎

Have you ever handled the “tbfk” as far as what you get for the price range it’s hard to beat. G10, s35vn, for under $50. Think it lists at $40. But after s&h it’s closer to $50.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I've seen that one just never tried it out yet. I could be wrong, but wasn't there another channel that got the steel tested and they found out it was not s35vn? I might be confusing it with another knife entirely. I'll have to check one out, thanks for reminding me about it.

[@TheGunf1ghter]

@@TheKnifeBeater I wanna say Cedric and Aida did a edge test and it was consistent with other s35vn’s he had tested. I know the one I have stays sharp for a long time.

What was the coupon code you mentioned at the 2 minute mark?

[@TheKnifeBeater]

The code is: lefty love. It's good for 10% off at whitemountainknives.com/

I just bought 2 Artisan folders for $60 each. D2 steel. One has a Dagger type blade and the other is a similar design. Both are just under 4”. IMO they were over priced by $20. I’ve bought eafengrau knives for $20 that put these to shame. If I wanted to upgrade to m390 the prices went close to $250. Oh well. They both are very pokey. I’m not doing any heavy work with any of them. They kind of fit the bill. Thumb studs are my preference as well. I’m looking for a 5” inch blade. I think I’ll go maybe $150.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I know what you mean, $60 can go a lot farther with some brands like EF.

[@tphvictims5101]

@@TheKnifeBeater , I’m going to send the Hornet back. The blade is way off too one side when it’s open. Not good.

Hi Jay! I was wondering if you Would like to sell your crkt m16?If so. I Would pay for the knife And shipping. I live in Canada near Montréal and love your Channel. Always interesting.Thanks Johny.

[@homersaypian3798]

The top three $40 knives that see the most pocket time for me are #3 Civivi Wyvern #2 CJRB Gobi #1 Civivi Backlash

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Those are some good ones.

[@Khronokai]

There's something about the praxis that makes me reach for it almost every time.

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I know what you mean, I'm right there with ya.

[@ronbisti4352]

The CRKT Drifter worth the stainless handle was cool but I believe it’s discontinued

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Yeah, I remember that one.

Hi Jays. Make the video. "3 knives for the rest of your life" please.

[@tedgorman12]

I enjoy your videos but in this case, I feel like in this one particular case, you let me down a bit... I think the Ortis outshines so many of your top ten... and you left out the Sencut Actium, which I also enjoys ton! I did upgrade the handle materials though... Keep creating this content though!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Sorry I let you down Teddy. I agree, the Ortis is a great knife, but I felt that the Dogma at #5 was slightly more deserving of a higher rank. Here's my thought process on that: For about $7 more, It has almost the exact same blade in D2 steel instead of 9CR and G10 scales instead of FRN. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion, I do appreciate it.

[@tedgorman12]

@@TheKnifeBeater “Let me down” was a terrible choice of words on my part... was humorous in my head when I typed it and then read back as something awful when I saw your reply. Thanks for the entertaining content. I am not a fan of the seemingly fake bone look to the G10 handle on the dogma (but I am also shocked that the FRN scales on the Ortis don’t bother me)

[@toddlehman928]

Where are you finding a Buck 110 for $40??

[@Obliticus]

Here is one you missed.... Damned Designs Invictus. A $49 flipper that is better built and has better action than most knives twice the price

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I'm aware of their knives, I just haven't gotten my hands on the Invictus yet. I'll have to check it out, thank you for the heads up Danzig.

[@pastoralmao]

a suggestion: timestamps/chapters would be comfortable and helpful (the function which allows to directly jump to the knives that one wants to see)☺️

[@TheKnifeBeater]

That's a great idea!

[@leighchristopherson2455]

Okay pet peeve. A tanto is Japanese knife. Tonto however is the Lone Ranger's sidekick. An - On it's not that hard.
