[@tallen316]

Thanks man for showing us items that are actually affordable and not ridiculously overpriced. 👍

[@Sanguivore]

That clip design is absolutely genius! Both of those knives look great; I especially like the price point and the creative scales of the first one.

[@dereksturms3724]

Srm is doing some good budget cross bar style lock

[@GrandmasterBBC]

I think SRM has been knocking it out of the park. I also have The smaller version of the 7228 and it is a fantastic little knife. Another one, which I happen to be carrying today, is the 9225. It's slightly more expensive but is an amazing axis lock with front flipper deployment. They offer a lot of value across their line.

[@Hungrybird474]

Nice . I didn’t know there was smaller 7228 . Blade length ? Thanks

[@anthonybaran7718]

I have the smaller 7228 too and initially wasn’t too impressed with it, but the more I use it, the more I love it.

[@Hungrybird474]

@@anthonybaran7718 It does look like a good blade . I know for a fact they do the heat treat good my other ones are really good edge retention

[@bluracer766]

I just bought a SRM 9201-PJ for $21.72 total in eBay, looking forward to something a little lighter in my pocket than my Ontario XR-1.

[@usernameisusername]

I love love love the scales on the first 1 and the seals good enough for me because I struggled to find anything to cut anyway I wish more manufacturers did pretty scales like that that

[@lynnjr457]

I am not a huge fan of the CR steels, so I bought this knife and the D2 variant. I swapped the blades and gave the heavier G10 with the CR away to a friend. I have a Hogue Deka in Magnacut that I carry for nighits out, work trips, etc. This SRM knife sits in my pocket quite often, doing everything just as well as the Deka. I enjoy the weight of the poly scales and it is solid for it's materials.

[@shamuscollins5861]

Always nice to find a budget gem. Those pocket clips are really interesting. Love the innovative that these knives companies continue to create.

[@romabrii]

I bought one of these a maybe a month ago and loved it and the price so much that I went and bought the other two variants! Glad to see it getting some recognition!

[@WhatsthePOINT_EDC]

This is a crazy deal. I have the SRM 9201-GW and it’s amazing! I knew I should have gotten all of the models. This is a amazing company. Hands down the best $20 knife on the market. D2 with a good heat treat. It’s shaving sharp with a good cross bar lock. There will be more to come soon! Thanks for showing us these!

[@darkinertia2]

it kinda reminds me of when cort started to ramp up their production of their own guitars while they were the OEM for just about every brand that had a made in korea line

[@joserodriguez4458]

I’ve used the first one almost every day at work for a year and it’s just perfect, super sharp out of the box.

[@maxlvledc]

Great to hear! I know their HT is on point as wellm

[@Jose-Ribeiro]

That pocket clip on a multi tool, would be great.

[@TopDog8762]

The SRM Rubik series is just outstanding. And the SRM Asika 1411-TZ is a lot of knife for the money, an eloquent beast of a knife, I love that thing.

[@richarde1355]

Love that first knife; used the provided Amazon link and it goes to the G10 black at $26.95, not the blue under $20..,

[@Rob-N-Hood-1981]

Same here just tried to look it up.. Click bait

[@maxlvledc]

Nope, they sold out and were an option under that same link. You can currently get them at knifecenter.com

[@maxlvledc]

They sold out in like 24 hours lol, you can still get them at knifecenter.com.

[@jasperqualls6872]

That pocket clip is awesome! Wouldn't mind seeing a spare pocket clip just incase you lost it? But that's pretty sweet!

[@Hungrybird474]

Thanks for sharing . SRm has some good ones imo . Light too. Yeah the first one , inset liners and a good blade .

[@bombfog1]

I appreciate you mixing your reviews between budget and high to higher end kit.

[@williamrichards3707]

Like everything about that 1st knife except it's not a drop point.

[@davidbendig961]

good knives seem to be cheaper at the moment. I got my vic handyman about 10€ cheaper than the 2 I bought before and the spirit x for 105€ (Amazon). Just the pocketclip for the spirit x that makes it sooo much better, still costs an arm and a leg (18€).

[@treypenton8490]

WHOA! Okay this is gonna be a new knife for me lmao Baller on a Budget

[@Lisa_60451]

I have 9201 in the d2 and g10 version, it's a fantastic knife for the price.

[@ben9and1-3rd]

I've had this one in my cart for at least a few months but still haven't bought it for some reason. They periodically offer 10% off too. Great looking budget knife. 👍🍻 Edit: I've had the 1st one. Added my comment too early.

[@AtomicBleach]

Only seeing the D2 available? I swear the link initially had an orange model when I had seen this before, would have been a instant buy for me.... Now their website only links to the Amazon version with D2 and G10 scales....

[@maxlvledc]

Sold out

[@AtomicBleach]

Lol not surprising.

[@AlexanderVonMalachi]

My only gripe with mine is that black handle doesn't come with blacked-out blade.

[@markbush8048]

Great review. I just ordered one.

[@dlajb]

Dom, you should check their 9008 model, they have the titanium version too. That thing is an absolute tank.

[@maxlvledc]

I'm weirdly only interested in budget knives atm.

[@dlajb]

@@maxlvledc I totally get you, the original 9008 is in steel handle and the 9008-tz is Ti but keep in mind it's still SRM, meaning even the Ti version is budget compared to all other brands.

[@thenextarcher]

Really like that first one. The other two are nice but not as great.

[@Jaw656]

do you find the scale texture gets caught on your pockets?

[@CatsNBlades]

How is the edge retention on the 8cr13mov of SRM 9201? If you have the Spyderco tenacious or resilience, I'd like to know how does the 8cr13 on this SRM perform as compared to that on Spyderco. Great stuff on your channel bdw. Liked & subbed!

[@ОСДОчевидноеСДивана]

Look impressive!

[@juliendurnez8875]

if someone owns one, is the pocketclip not to low??

[@RandysWSG]

The seem pretty good for the price

[@rossdaman808]

Thanks for the great info, but the link sends me to the more expensive $29 knife and I can't find the $19 one.

[@maxlvledc]

They sold out, you can find on knifecenter.com though

[@GLutt-b3y]

I buy 30 work knives at a time for the guy's, Rat 1's, cold steel tuff lite, I'm going to snag some of these. My WE and Artisan cutlery knives are engineered better than any American made knife I have.

[@SARRAF5757]

Is this better than the JSWS axis lock knife you told us about earlier (w the 40% discount at $21)? I kinda went ahead and made my first knife purchase after watching that video 😬

[@SARRAF5757]

I bought the 440c G10 stone wash blade one you praised btw... I'm thinking of returning it if you say this one's better at the same price point

[@maxlvledc]

Hmm, worse steel than that knife..but better handle. The other is decent as well.

[@maxlvledc]

I don't think it's better than 440c, but unlike that one...it's a true $20. So good as a backup in the future

[@SARRAF5757]

@@maxlvledc okay, I'll stick with the JSWS for now ig... I'll buy a more expensive knife in the future when I get bored of this one lol

[@batcavenc43]

I bought a gonzo firebird because of the hype and price., don’t really like it feels cheap like 5$ knife. That blue knife looks like it blows it away, not sure how you feel.

[@maxlvledc]

Quality wise...100% best $20. Ganzo technically has better materials, but the Ht on this will be on point

[@CmdrKiillerjoy]

$20 at time of filming or when you purchased? Cause now the cheapest is $30. This seems pretty common with these vids granted I usually watch them months or weeks later not just a few days like this one so I find it especially strange that it just decided a $10 price hike was necessary.

[@maxlvledc]

That's a different model, the $20 can still be found on places like knifecenter.com

[@-fazik-3713]

Still does not beat Ganzo G720 (-O for Orange ;) ).

[@maxlvledc]

Yep, only ganzo beats this imo

[@MrPhil1969]

These guys have quite a range. $20 to $350 and everything in between.

[@rebelfromva]

Where is the video of the whole setup

[@maxlvledc]

Linked in pin for the knife..need to make the video on the $20 edc still

[@McRootbeer]

How thick are they?

Nice knives, but if we continue buying all these Chinese knives we're going to have to move there someday. Some things we don't have a choice, but knives we do. China especially needs our financial support currently to aid in their funding of Russia's war. ... I think I'd prefer to pay a little more for American materials and labor...a knife is a lifetime purchase after all.

[@jimmcmahon2376]

If American people didn't want cheaper goods, China wouldn't be the menace it is now. You asked for it, you got it. Can't have your cake and eat it too

[@jimmyross1672]

man i wish i could afford one of these dam it and my birthday was on the 18th and i still cant afford a knife even at 10 dollars lol man i hate being pooor

[@Dan_TheAnimal]

At that price there are some very good utility knives, but save up and you’ll get there

Ozark trail Walmart knives are $4 at my local Wally world.
