The 20 Greatest American Made Folding Knives of All Time

[@timnewmyer780]

Stassa, I thoroughly enjoy your content and you are a bad influence on me! My knife collection has grown considerably! Keep up the great work!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

I've heard from a few channels that are complaining about dropped views. They say for subscribers to unsubscribe, resubscribe and recheck notifications. I don't know if it works, but just passing it on. Keep up the great work Stassa!👍

[@corywelsh6847]

Great video!

[@stearnsbingham552]

Love that NCC knife. Checking on it now.

[@timb4425]

[@CavemanSlays]

[@ExamonLyf]

Another wonderful review. Thank you!

[@cemetarygates2800]

That Les George is the truth!! Plain, simple and beautiful.

[@paul_dz]

Quite a collection - thanks for sharing details.

[@warroomEDC]

Love your content Stassa

[@GarrettsGear]

I was just glad to see Emerson mentioned! Your 2 emerson's are amazing versions!

[@kathleensmith370]

love these choices

[@SES5925]

Great video! Love the 50/50 split

[@the_swinging_axe]

Nice choices! My top 10 are hinderer, crk, Benchmade, and Spyderco.

[@elde667]

Great vid, Stassa! Thank you.

[@chiefbrody-ks7bh]

Great keep up the good work.

[@darken8649]

Best folder and small fixed blade channel on KZbin. Bar none. 😊

[@Obsidian-One]

Yea Orginal Goat makes awesome scales! And they are very good people over there and you cannot go wrong. PERFECT fit & finish

[@DarrellHaigwood-cc7ep]

Love that you carry and actually use your collection. Fully trust all of your recommendations, and appreciate that you're not working for these manufacturers.

[@davidhelka8929]

Great video man 👍

[@MrCaissed]

Hey Stassa, we all appreciate your commitment to testing and pointing out great knifes under $100 and you test. Of course the more expensive variety. I’m glad I found your channel!! Happy Memorial Day

[@MichaelKepple-tx4go]

Cant wait to see what you will put up for sale. Added bonus, get to help a great guy get new stuff for added content. Love you and all your content

[@georgelin8498]

I watch every video

[@marckillian9375]

Awesome videos

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

Love your knife reviews! You always put out great content.

[@Mainrollman]

Great video! I love your content and watch all I can that you post. Keep it coming Stassa!

[@sandroorlovskij5864]

I like the video you’re making about the nights and I like all the knife you’ve been showing. I’ve got I know too much about knife now watching your program thank you man for that you’re the best.

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy and thanks for your reviews! I know that the industry is taking a hit but seriously everything’s gotten so expensive( including knives) that I know we have had to cut back…it’s amazing how much makers think we can spend cause I just doubled down and bought a flagship one for 600 and it would not even flip open and would stick shut! Man that hurts as they want a restocking fee for a knife that does not work! The market better wake up before it’s too late!

[@kylehudson1395]

Great line up.

[@riderr1011]

Every knife showcased in this video is absolutely excellent! The Hogue Ritter RSK and the Reeve large Sebenza are 'best in class' and are my #1 and #2 on wish to buy list. Thank you, Stassa! Great channel!

[@warroomEDC]

Ritter hogue is an awsome knife

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

I’ve been trying to watch everything you put out! You’re one of the top knife tubers! Keep it up!

[@the_knights_edge]

Another great video brother!

[@funbagguy4240]

Keep up the wk bro , screw peps who say crap not like I asked that to happen to u , we all have things wrong with us , love u bro ty for ur show and advice

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Several channels I follow say they are getting fewer views too. One said to unsubscribe, then resubscribe, and recheck the notifications. I don't know if it works, but I'm doing it. Just thought I should pass it on is all. Keep up the great work Stassa!👍

[@ethanrosen7397]

Good stuff man

[@jeffcanfixit]

Hey Stassa23 ‼️ Hope you had a good Memorial Day. Take care,, thanks for all you do. 👍👍🔪

[@Slice_by_price]

Man I needed this video. I've been collecting knives on and off for years but now I'm slowly shifting towards USA made only (China, Taiwan etc still great make quality stuff just too many new models dropping and getting hyped constantly to keep up with). So far I have a pro-tech sprint, benchmade griptillian in grn/20cv, mini freek in carbon/s90v (love this one), spyderco para 3 in g10/s45vn (my favorite overall) and a GEC #15 tidioute urban jack in agate (very classy). I also had to make an exception for the demko slicer ad20.5 in g10/20cv when that went on sale even though it's made in Taiwan, fits the spirit of the collection haha. Next up I'd like to go for something a bit more premium like an xm-18 or sebenza/inkosi.

[@bohonea1602]

Good video man, I think you've got the best channel on KZbin. I try my best to watch as much as I can keep Rollin brother!

[@georgepavlou2041]

Happy MD! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@johndings9917]

Yes please for testing the vecp button lock! Thanks

[@annmarie9196]

I wanna see a review and testing on the VECP!!

[@Errcyco]

I love that Deka a fan sent you, beautiful scales wow. And how did I miss the Bel Air.. $150 isn't half bad for Magacut and USA made. Nice video man!

[@paullmight42]

That NCC tho....sheeeesh...

[@williammiller7346]

Buck 110 and Buck 112. Old timer one-handed opening. Open top canted belt sheath. Made in the USA.

[@flapxjackson]

I understand these are your choices. But I rarely see anybody talk about the Benchmade Presidio. It is usually the Griptilian or the Bugout. The Presidio has been one of my favourite knives for a long time. And it has been around a long time also. So it must be decently popular. But for some reason, it doesn’t get the love the other two get.

[@mcm4point2o]

the only reason I'd take the Pm2 over the Manix lw is cause you can snag a cutlery shoppe wharnie version. can't wait to see some more wharncliffe versions of their Golden Colorado knives, seems like almost their entire Seki city lineup has them

[@Capin91]

I hope they do some machined detail on the newer Sebenzas sometime; I just find the inlays they’re doing _deeply_ uninspiring and while I want one in the collection and my pocket, I won’t buy a knife like that if I’m at all ‘eh’ on it. Would take much less than the lovely doppler too.. Anyway this vid is a great example of why I like your channel- we have very different taste, and you do a great job. Thanks!

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

KZbin makes it hard to find knife channels. Even being subscribed with the bell on, I don’t get notified. But I watch pretty much everything you put out except some of the budget knife videos as I’m really not captivated by much under $300 at all. Hell, I usually stay in the $400-1000 price range when I buy

[@marccohen5579]

I love my Belair in MagnaCut. and what a price.

[@mikereese15]

Gotta l9ve OG scales.

[@travtheviking]

what scales or maker is on that dekka

[@jhawk1985]

That Oz Machine Co. Roosevelt and that Nick Churpin knife are two of my grail knives. I really want a Mini FSD button lock as well. All of them are way out of my price range but a man can have hopes and dreams right ?

[@craigmiller8654]

Sea Otter, but NO Buck 110. WOW, JUST WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theangleraquarist]

Respectfully, It isn’t in the same league as these other knives. That being said, it’s one of the most iconic knives ever.

[@stuartrollings602]

Great Line up! If you have any more knives to loan out (that you let people borrow and forget who has em ) then just hit reply! 🖐️👍🙄

[@patrickrobles1036]

I have the same scales on my Neutron.

[@stevenlachance8576]

Thanks! Put it toward a folding knife please!

[@MAGR1994]

Whats the Hinderer controversy? 🥶

[@joeshaves1633]

I see all the shorts and videos

[@mickyashey9818]

Wait, isn’t the Strider PT an Auto open?

[@Aa-ron22]

When your knife coming out I want it lol

[@sloanNYC]

Very nice list. Hope to get Malibu at some point or a Monterey Bay. I picked up an Inkosi for my birthday and was shocked how bad the action on it was. Beautiful knife, sharp out of the box, but the thumb studs are too pointy and could barely open it the pivot was so rough. At that price, I'm not doing the work to disassemble and hope I can grease it. I just had to return it. Very disappointing.

[@flapxjackson]

You’re not the first one to complain about CRK. I own several Sebenzas and have no complaints. But they are also older. It’s been 10 years since I purchased a new CRK. I can’t speak for the Inkosi since I’ve never owned one. But my Sebenzas with inlays or graphics are smooth. Smoother than the plain Janes. But I find the thumb stud uncomfortable also. And I find them difficult to open in one go. I have to open them partially then readjust and open it the rest of the way. I’ll keep what I have. But I don’t foresee adding anymore.

[@sloanNYC]

@@flapxjackson It was beautifully made, I just didn't want to fight to make it smooth even though CRK themselves offered to help... it just threw me off. I've loved most of Ray's designs, so I think I'll hope to get a Sea Otter from Monterey Bay Knives one day...

[@RegularJoeKnife]

Gracias. I’m still trying to figure out what a cus word is now a-days.

[@coreyketrow1376]

No mention of Medford?

[@austinkassman]

NC BBM ergonomics were extremely bad for my XL or XXL hands. Otherwise an insanely nice knife.

[@DaleBailey-vo9fv]

Love ya im new i would die for qn actual nice knife i can barely afford civivi

[@chrisoliver1327]

Great video! People are F*d up!

[@nycmaverick]

My Sebenza was a pain in the ass to deploy. I got rid of it

[@theangleraquarist]

Yeah they need to break in to get a nice action, but once you do, it’s such a good feel.

[@dlife7427]

The pocketknife world is slowing down gentlemen.

[@qdp03]

It is growing

[@Strow1stofHisName]

I am wayyyyyyy out of the loop. Hinderer is having controversy? Can someone fill me in?

[@nathandufton3854]

This is what i can remember and i may be wrong but...Apparently a reviewer tested hinderer's hrc on their heat treatment and found the steel softer than the company claimed. Not that big a deal except they threatened legal action against the reviewer.

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

Would you be willing to trade a Bestech Blind Fury in M390 black and blue carbon and an Artisan Cutlery BOA in Jigged Titanium for that ABW Model 1 Button lock??

[@ttattx]

Everyone is feeling the pinch. Cost of everything is going up. We cant afford them. So, my guess its to torturous to watch them when we cant but them

[@griff7749]

Just a quick friendly comment, as active duty, no one wants to get appreciation on Memorial day. That day is for the fallen only, it's a day of remembrance for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans Day is for those who've served or serve. I really don't appreciate "thank you for your service" on Memorial Day, that's for the fallen. Just a friendly reminder, I know you mean well

[@MisterDeets]

This is getting a bit scary. I'm getting ready to start a knife centric channel and now I'm seeing people in this sphere commenting on losing views and subscribers.

[@willitroll9327]

I’m going to be completely honest, I think a stock CRK is just completely unimpressive. Terrible action unless you love a slow roll and a two handed or awkward one hand close. Terrible thumbstuds. Unimpressive grinds. Their finishing work is really good, but I mean look at the knives coming out of China. *cough* reate *cough*. So so so many knives outshine CRK’s entire catalog at lower prices.

[@BDevi0us]

I'll take that Rosie off your hands?

[@billvan5219]

I'm more of a fixed blade guy and I'm sorry for not watching all of your folder videos. Goodness knows I don't need or want to buy any more folders. Otherwise 👍

[@jocemarine6247]

The one that should not be there. Benchmade just overpriced with ultra cheap scales

[@BrockRimington]

KZbin been taking out sooo many comment recently. Ridiculously obnoxious… none of my “controversial” comments get deleted… but all the ones i leave for sentiment do (ex- keep up the good work)… makes no sense…. Anyways, thanks for the vid man! Looks like I got a few more knives to add to the collection now lol🫶💯

[@GarrettsGear]

Meanwhile there's porn bots in every comment section.

[@Stassa23]

Yeah I can’t stand it when they censor my comments

[@stevek8829]

I think KZbin hires ex communists.
