Excellent list MC! Happy to see the Para 3 still make it on. Number 3 came as a little bit of a shock because I actually remember the nitpicks/issues you had in your reviews of the Atom and Neutron actually kept me from ever picking one up a couple years ago😂 I will say that the scales and overall finish on the titanium are some of the most gorgeous ones I've ever seen; TRM seems to be leaps and bounds ahead from where they were in 2020. Looking forward to this type of video content more often, keep em' coming boss💪

Great list overall. I’ve got 8 outta your ten (nine if you count the alternative to the OTF) and some I have multiple versions of. If you haven’t seen them, several dealers have the Para 3 lightweight in S90V for $140 right now which is a really good value when you consider that Spyderco is highly regarded for their quality heat treats. Very happy to see the Sage 5 getting some love as well, it’s a very underrated knife in my humble opinion.

Hogue Deka, Pyrite, and AD 20.5 are three of my all time frequent carriers. Love them to death and I actually have three different Pyrites; fun fact, my G10 pyrite seems to have a much smoother button than the two metal ones which makes having the light weight G10 more palpable over the steel ones. I love all three but I just found that interesting. Great video love your new ideas to do more of these more frequently I feel like they tell us a lot of information in a short amount of time all in one video. Well done sir!

Amazing list! I have 5 on the list, and with the ones I have my order would be; 4. Para 3 3. Sage 5 (one in titanium scales, and one in carbon fiber scales) 2. TRM Atom/Neutron and 1. Demko 20.5 shark foot in smooth titanium. I have had the Demko drop point in the laminate carbon fiber, and was amazed at how much the titanium made a difference! It is an absolute banger of a knife, and such a joy to carry.

I loved the Spyderco Sage 5, but in my opinion the wire clip was the fatal flaw with that knife. I ended up losing one after it fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice immediately that it was gone. After I bought another to replace the one I lost, I ended up bending the wire clip on it not once but twice. Thankfully Spyderco was kind enough to send me several replacements for free. However, I wasn't doing anything crazy with the knife. It just ended up bending after accidentally rubbing my side against a hard surface like the corner of a countertop. (I work in construction). Another problem with the Sage 5 was after a few months of carrying it the carbon fiber laminate peeled off on the side. I'm not even sure why. I never got it wet or did anything to it. I'm still a fan of Spyderco knives, but now I carry a shaman. The shaman has more heft to it so I can actually feel it in my pocket. And I have equipped it with a deep carry titanium pocket clip that is much less likely to bend.

​@mattcourtney710 It's more to do with the shock of the pricing far north of other brands of similar or better quality, not so much the product/quality itself. Your dollar may go further (materials used, design, styling) elsewhere. I enjoy mine, but I have only bought when they have offered extreme discounts that place the discounted price at a semi-tolerable range.

My favorite and best in my opinion is the TRM Atom. It’s a mix between a delica and a PM2, but it is lite and as customizable as a Bugout. Which all three of those were my favorite at a time. If you have smaller hands then the Neuron is awesome. Only bad thing is getting ahold of a TRM.

This was very interesting as I started collecting knives less than a year ago. I had no real history as a knife enthusiast other than the common experience of growing up with a Buck 110, so when I finally started collecting most of my early choices were unqualified, unbiased, and merely based on simply what just appealed to me. A little later I "discovered" knife reviewing channels such as yours, became more informed, and probably made some choices that I might not have early on, and though my top 10 would undoubtedly differ from yours, here's the really interesting thing. I have 6 of the knives on your list...which says nothing about me, something about you, and everything about the greatness of a knife, (or knives) that would make the list of both novice and expert alike. Opinions will vary as they rise, fall and swirl around in an endless ocean of sources...but simple truth has a knack of floating to the top...Good is good! 😁 I very much enjoy and appreciate your channel sir.

Ive never clicked a video so fast. Im kinda surprised the benchmade freak or mini freek didnt make it. Most people i interact with like it a lot more then the bugout or 940 (myself included)

He's never really seemed to be the biggest axis lock advocate, but with that said the one knife that he praises unconditionally in an axis style lock is the Ritter/Hogue RSK MK1 so it kinda makes sense since the nature of a top 10 in general is a fairly small list.

Almost same knife as the Ritter. I prefer the Freek for style and M4 steel.

Can anyone give some options for a edc? I lost my scallion. I loved the size of that knife. I can’t seem to find things in that size. Looking to spend around $100 Thanks

Pretty solid list. But I’m not a big Para 3 fan. The ergonomics are good, but I don’t think you get enough knife for the pocket space you’re giving up.

Wish the sage 5 at least had some texturing on the lock where you engage it, let alone some contouring bc it’s very awkward and uncomfortable to manipulate the lock. Could even use some better access to the lock bar, through a cutout in the frn

Absolutely love this knife too Kyle. Lot of blade, premium steel, Sebenza smooth action and rust proof. Ergonomics could be improved slightly, but near perfect knife IMHO.

I’m shocked you didn’t list the XM-18! But, I find them a bit large personally. Great job!!!

Availability is the reason they aren't listed. That and price. Two big factors when it comes to recommending "EDC" knives

Awesome list and I know it’s preference, but Sage 5 I find so much better than the para 3. How do you feel about Tactile Co Maverick?

My old edc was a benchmade presidio. But all the screws fell out so I had to retire it before it fell apart completely lol. Just recently managed to find some replacement screws so I might get to put it back to work. After that tho my edc became the benchmade bugout, then to ow I carry the civivi praxis and the akc f20 otf. Gotta say tho, I like the praxis more than the bugout. It feels way more sturdy and better balanced in the hand

Send it back to benchmade and get them to fix that for free. Ask them to sharpen it up and send it back you’ll get it back better than new

I picked up a mini griptilian in 154cm about 8 years ago. I just couldn't get myself to like it enough. The plastic handle felt so coarse and made me cringe in and out of the pocket. I put it away and carried a cheap Kershaw instead. Last year I pulled it out of the drawer, dusted it off and put some AWS aluminum scales on it. Now it sees a lot more pocket time and i retired the kershaw. Overall I wouldn't recommend the price of this combo but it was nice to be able to spice up the mini griptilian into something more enjoyable.
