Are your finger tips all *not* cut up?! Well, we have the PERFECT knife to solve all of those "closed skin" problems. Introducing the Quartermaster General Lee! 0:50

[@BladeHQ]

Yes... but it's SO cool!

[@knice7359]

Blade HQ The Klecker Cordovan isn't the only lock-back flipper there's 1 more out there, can anyone guess the maker and model. The answer is the SOG Twitch 1&2.

[@evanshaw6123]

Well, you use the pocket clip like you're supposed to, that won't happen. Been carrying one for over a year now, never cut myself. The nice thing about it, is how easily and quickly you can close it one handed. If you practice, you can use the toggle with your ring finger and close the blade as well as open it, much faster than any other knife out there other than a otf switch blade.

[@cooperdrake9515]

And it's only $350.00

[@evanshaw6123]

$250 or less if you buy from the right vender. Titanium handles, s35vn blade, lifetime warranty. Not too bad.

My favorite knife was Austin.

[@BladeHQ]

Was it because I look sharp in this episode? -Austin

[@showboat1556]

Blade HQ Austin you look sad in this episode, look at your face @ 11:47. Who hurt you???

[@BladeHQ]

The big Swiss Army may or may not have put a nice gash in my finger (you can see I'm wearing a bandaid if you look close). I blame my low energy on the blood loss. -Austin

[@DominicZelenak]

Jamie's editing skills are God tier

[@echolessowl]

Lmao i wish i could edit like that. The videos on my channel are horrible

[@karlstone297]

Just to nitpick, the Flucrum is the Fulcrum 2, it was my first knife ever and it's awesome. I love it.

[@jason.orbita]

Austin's mood seem low compared to previous videos hope he's alright.

[@Jeremy-io4hm]

Jason O probably because he has to see Ben everyday and he is losing his mind. Haha

[@MegaMongrol]

Quick fact, the smith and wesson power glide design comes from the nazi paratrooper knife.

[@josephwood4362]

I thought Nazi paratrooper knives were gravity knives. That's more like a pantographic knife. They were marketed postwar as Nazi knives, but afaik, there's no evidence that they were issued.

[@justinriley8651]

@@josephwood4362 its borrowed from the German paratrooper knife for sure. may not be exactly the same but very close.

[@beef5010]

I barfed in my mouth a bit when the mermaid was pulled out I want it.

[@frankp.8263]

Its sad that some of those knives are considered as auto in Canada therefore being illegal.

[@mx_nana_banana]

well that's better than Australia, because in Australia you can legally buy a machete, but not an 8cm folding knife.

[@yensidthegoat4018]

Automatic?

[@kevinroberts9580]

Going to buy the mermaid and put it in our little archery shop, because no one will steal it

[@wetworkwolf]

I like the fulcrum. It’s subtle and awesome. It has a sense of flair but it’s not over the top or too flashy.

[@darkinertia2]

i love crkts weird locking mechs, the rollock is one knife i wish theyd bring back

[@arsaeterna4285]

I love how off the cuff, but still professional these videos are

[@beyproctor7673]

Van Hoy snap lock is my favorite in this video. This must be the most durable lock spring in a knife EVER! Once you practice, it is actually really easy and safe to open. I used to carry one daily before I got hooked on supersteel.

[@beardsandbraid3189]

At about the 1:08 mark I was happy I watched this video.. I related to the frustration that is felt when someone cuts you off in the middle of speaking. 🤣

[@AaronReck]

I liked all the knives on the table and showing off all the cool mechanisms.

[@ZachPPierce]

I'm stationed in North Dakota so it was awesome knowing we have knife makers that are doing things in the knife industry.

Paragon Warlock

[@Tman-rv3ke]

Afonso Barrocal agreed

[@maximofenn8681]

True

[@montylemon9445]

@Truth Seeker ツ it's well engineered, it's got good materials, and it's made by a small shop meaning its not mass produced so it can't be sold/made for as cheap as say a Gerber Evo

[@hatepurrpp2651]

MontyLemon gerbers are typically very inexpensive, not a good comparison imo

[@montylemon9445]

@@hatepurrpp2651 that's what I'm saying

[@andrewgreiner4681]

that blink 182 reference tho

[@Dynikus]

when I saw the title, my first thought was the paragon warlock/phoenix. The sound the womlock makes is just fantastic. I just got a crkt graphite which klecker designed with the same kind of locking mechanism, and I've really liked it so far though

[@tomstutz2645]

so your telling me im not the only one who gets a knife and plays with it absently while watching tv

[@ek_films]

my favorite would probably be the fulcrum-- it's just unique enough without being super weird, and i think the design is really cool. ordering one tomorrow.

[@jackfarmboy]

Thanks for taking the time to highlight these. Been holding out on a snap lock and fulcrum... Now I'm re inspired to give them another look. Love your videos guys.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Jack FarmBoy I have a fulkrum. wish I never got it. junk as a knife. its a cool gimic tho. money better spent on something else tbo.

[@BladeHQ]

Take a look at the CRKT Daktl too. It is somewhat similar to the Snap Lock

[@scottbuckler1106]

Buck marksman is my favourite flipper! Awesome knife!!

[@dyllanbex6430]

Klecker Cordovan is a beautiful knife and I absolutely admire the blades luminous shine

[@gatorkissman]

I have had the "Scrade side flap flopper*" blade push out knife *name is pending approval* I love it, great beater knife and definitely a talking piece as not many people have seen it and enjoy trying it themselves. Can't beat the price point for the attention you get. As far as the rest of the knives on the table, there aren't any I am dying to try.

[@festol1]

You guys should make a video only about linerlocks. Sure there is sliplick designs, but before all the new fancy strongest locks, it carried the knife industry and made it popular. It is where it all started.

[@nolanhopkins3531]

Crkt slidelock ... All time fave.

[@ottergt]

Mermaid for the win! (My daughter now wants one...thanks a lot guys!)

[@tacostudios3689]

sarcasm?

[@JoshuaProtz]

I own a paragon Phoenix. (Sing edge warlock) I absolutely love watching my friends try to open it. So much fun to flick open and closed.

[@The4cp]

The tenacious is my work knife. I freaking love it. Absolutely prefect.

[@vxrcus]

Just found my new favourite series!

[@The_Bird_Bird_Harder]

My favorite knife was the warlock, sadly that's waaaaaaay out of my price range.

[@KnifeDetector]

Very cool looking knives, but definitely Bizarre looking. Just give me a Buck 112, that'll do it for me every time.

[@dplafoll1]

You should do an addendum video for the Spyderco Meerkat when the sprint comes out, as well as the Spyderco Introvert which is also a backlock flipper.

[@PierceyeG]

I have a Snap Lock. My father loved it. He gave me 2 and owned at least three more himself. I don't carry it because of the pocket clip, which is incredibly stiff. Otherwise it's a very cool little knife. I think the simplicity of the design is the coolest thing about it. The blade, the frame and the rotary lever. That's pretty much it. As demonstrated in the video, it's not really meant to be operated one handed.

[@dankenno]

This was the most amazing knife banter episode ever.

[@noponn8007]

you have a knife? me: *pulls out big ass brick* here, the 38th from the left is the sharpest

[@garethbaus5471]

Honestly you could carry it around in a laptop bag just so you can do that.

[@urielmartinez2161]

[@buck19x87]

[@sealevelbear]

Paragon Warlock and the CRKTs!!!! Totally awesome!

[@r1w3d]

Wait the Sog Twitch is a back lock flipper and so was their Topo meridian knife. I have the Topo and it's the only sog I own now as they have gone down hill. Use to love the Twitch XL as a slim gentleman knife.

[@haroldellis9721]

4:00 True story, for my groomsmen gifts, I gave R J Martin folders, nothing crazy, liner locks, thumb studs, and we had to show my Brother, Chad how to open and close his.

[@eugenioamadeosabarre4341]

Had the snaplock before!!! My cousin lost it... I loved it... will probably get one

[@northernninety7]

3:30 I like how discrete that is

[@ctheo13]

Love this vid, I'm all about the weird and wonderful knives. There's only 3 in this video that I don't already have lol My CRKT collection is diverse too, best knife brand out there IMHO!

gotta have the Rainbow Mermaid

[@DavidMN-]

Jaime is brilliant... but what would he do without Austin and Ben to roast? Keep up the good work gents.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

I like that little fulcrum but are all pretty cool blades great engineering it looks like went into them pretty neat

[@Jimatuscc]

I absolutely love my Fulcrum 2 knife! The General Lee almost gave me a heart attack @ $270.00! Man, that is one expensive novelty.

[@ViezePoeperd]

I have the Ed Van Hoy CRKT snap-lock and *that* was hilarious.

[@ChuckPM12]

Miss Ben and Austin! Gotta love the Warlock!

[@gabrielalfaro1040]

idea for a knife banter...Fixed Tactical/Combat knives please

[@RockDeviI]

My favorites are the Paragon Warlock (but folders with 2 edges are illegal here) and the Klecker Cordovan I just think that looks nice and I like back lock knives, this one also having a flipper is pretty cool.

[@Stratollac]

The Klecker Cordovan and the CRKT Snap Lock got my attention.

[@TheMattiePoo]

The ONLY knife on the table that is not an embarrassment to carry in public is the Warlock.

[@dutch_blades]

I was expecting the Chris Reeve Ti-Lock on this list, the Spyderco Meerkat/Janisong/Bi-Fold or CRKT Glide. Love all of those, even though I don't carry them often...

[@bananaassasin7514]

i used to have a power glide but the machanism broke and it turned into some sort of balling so i had to dismantler it

[@bobsaveland]

FYI, the SOG Twitch II is also a backlock flipper.

[@bigairboarder121]

Sherlock & Watson, Simon & Garfunkel, now Ben & Austin!!! These two are great on camera together.

[@capttwitch]

I love the paragon warlock but we cant have them in Canada but I want the crkt snap lock! I just got a tighe tac 2 and pleasantly surprised I wish the button was a little smother but really nice

[@ryansargent9447]

[@patrickwhite6661]

I love the warlock. I want one. I already bought a mermaid for my wife that I'm saving for Christmas. Love the channel

[@Ahkuji]

The snap lock is such a pretty knife. It's my favorite

[@sanscrux2852]

Funny that I would have 3 on this list. The Quartermaster is sweet, but the price for the novelty is more than I can sell to the better half.

[@israelaragon1593]

Unfortunately i have neither the kershaw or Lee. But i do have a knock off called the Gelindo and it works very well and was actually very sharp out the box. 15$ off amazon so it works well enough. But i have just got the Van hoy and it is so weird and small and crazy. i love it. But ive heard the smith powers glide tends to break at the inside gears leaving it like a broken balisong ....

[@brendanjoyce645]

I'm high af how did i find this lol

[@Sparky6string]

CRKT- definitely the most interesting knife company. Love that Buck at the beginning!

There are backlocks with flippers, though. Like a SOG Twitch. Also, a Cold Steel Triple Action or a Fred Perrin Tri-Folder should've been there.
