Benchmade 940 (hated them at first), Spyderco Para 3, Spyderco Delica and at number 1, the Hogue Ritter RSK mini!

[@tombeyer375]

The Gordon looks like a pretty good daily beater knife to me!

[@edwardbush3466]

What was the knife you showed made by we knives that had button,back flip, front flip, and thumb studs, studs and pocket clip were titanium 20cv blade steel, can't find your vid on it. Thank you so much 😊

[@timothyvolkers5343]

I'm not sure what model it's but I own a pocket knife made by Ruike with 14c28n steel and it looks very similar to the second knife in this video the $300+ knife. But my Ruike was only about $40 so I like my Ruike more but it's a personal opinion.

[@dertodesking8379]

That US$300,- knife has titanium handles + a Vanax steel blade. These are among the very best materials you can get for a production folding knife. So even if they might be similar in looks, I guarantee you the QC has a very different ( much more premium ) feel to it.

[@Wazoo]

I like knives! Thanks for the great content Dom!

[@maxlvledc]

Cheers!

[@TheWhiskyExplorer]

Mini Beluga is my favourite knife. Such amazing value. I know it looks weird, but you gotta get a Bestech Platypus in hand.

[@vantaEDC]

i’m waiting for a QC Drift to arrive this weekend after considering it for 3+ months. the number of reviewers that i’ve heard describe it as a great one-and-done knife makes me really excited to EDC it a lot.

[@usernameisusername]

My ganzo fh41 is the bees knees. Got it for 20 bux. I keep buying knives but I keep carrying my fh41 And just to let you know I living a very humid place and I haven't gotten any rust yet and I've only had to sharpen at once in two years

[@usernameisusername]

Once I get back home tonight I will put my list together this was a really good video idea thank you

[@dlajb]

I don't have all the brands but out of those that I do, in my list would be: SRM - 9008 PF - Mini Beluga Ruike - P108 OKNIFE - Splint Flipper

[@Judgement_Kazzy]

I bought an AD-10 when you were making videos about the sale, and I love it. It's gotta be the most iconic "overbuilt" knife of all time. And I know, I will never put it through a fraction of the punishment it's designed to take. I just like having a big strong brick of a knife because it's cool.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

I was looking at the Cold Steel Demko knife and there's very small holes very close to the blade but on the handle scales. What are those little holes for are they for making a spear with the knife and tying it to a pole in the wilds. Or am I completely wrong and those holes are for something else

[@maxlvledc]

The holes were originally for locking the blade in place with a pin...but the triad lock is so strong it became unnecessary.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

@@maxlvledc So it was used to try and make it like a fixed blade am I understanding the right?

[@maxlvledc]

@@timothyvolkers5343 yep, but it's overkill on top of a triad..I've never had a lock failure on an AD10 and never heard of one.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

@@maxlvledc I have a Cold Steel Recon one folder full size so I know about the triad lock I just hadn't ever seen those little pins for the lock

[@subtleserpentsurvival777]

Nice work. 👊🏻🐍🤘🏻

[@cupajoe7258]

Love my buck 110 slim pro trx... but ever since I got it I've been thinking I need a classic 110... also, there are deployment sheaths for the 110 for what it's worth Also, I'm not saying the 6 inch Luzon is better than the ad10, but it's stinkin $40

[@stujo718]

I soo want a buck 110 leather pouch in and about the garden. Can’t wait. Since I got into edc it’s been a big itch to be scratched. 👍

[@robertquiroz630]

Great video! I'm new to the hobby and i'm debating getting the CIVIVI Mini Praxis or SRM Knives 9201-PL. Any thoughts on which I should pick and any thought on the CIVIVI Mini Praxis?

[@maxlvledc]

Tough tough...the real question is..are you sticking to 30 or less? I don't think you can go wrong with either. Worth noting that the praxis is just under 3" blade but the srm is 3.5"

[@robertquiroz630]

@@maxlvledc trying to stay under $40, did you have another recommendation in mind? 3" size it okay with me.

[@dertodesking8379]

@@robertquiroz630 You basically can’t go wrong with anything Civivi imho. If you decide to spend around 50 bucks, the Civivi Elementum button lock, Vosteed Raccoon & the CJRB Pyrite are hard to beat in that budget.

[@Rurik_Luci]

A full size buck 110 with the brass and wood. But with a thumb stud. I would carry that in a belt pouch EVERY single day. It's something I can use and isn't too small.

[@maxlvledc]

At that point I'd just rather have a Multitool..that's basically where my head is at. Thats why I don't own a true 110

[@tallen316]

Bought an SRM because of your videos. I'm super impressed for a $20 knife.

[@maxlvledc]

Let me know how it holds up! It would be nice to know it can stand the test of time as well

[@tallen316]

@Maxlvledc Very true. I'll definitely put it in rotation. I'm a Kershaw fan and currently have a Kershaw Leek on me. It's what got me into knives more.

[@olafkliemt1145]

Ruike is Sanrenmu, so of course it's good. SRM 9008 comes to mind...

[@timothyvolkers5343]

I bought the Buck 110 for very cheap as a pre-owned model with all the included box and other pieces from Amazon and I don't like the 110 much but I got it for so cheap that it wasn't worth returning so I put it in my toolbox to use as a hard use knife it works great for that but I don't like it as a pocket EDC knife

[@edgaraquino2324]

A nice overview, thanks!...I am familiar with only some of these....the one I have is the Buck...I have my father's 110 & I purchased a 112 many moons ago...love the brass & wood & do not mind leather holster carry...folks complain about the handling characteristics of these knives, but among other things, they are used primarily as dressers & skinners...hence the back heavy configuration where it would rest in the palm while working & to avoid slicing oneself...Question, Dominic - did Buck ever fix the wobble in the pivot on the pro? That & the price was the deal breaker for me so I bought the select instead...

[@maxlvledc]

No idea. The select doesn't appeal to me.

[@maxlvledc]

I mean pro, the select with 420hc and boss HT make more sense. Premium buck knives are horribly stacked against their competitors

[@edgaraquino2324]

@@maxlvledc Thanks! Ironic that the select ended up being the more solid of the 2...

[@XxCzechmafiaxX]

Thoughts on Opinel?

[@maxlvledc]

Once I found svord...I've never used one again lols

[@rainsnowflake4664]

What do you think about the rat1?

[@maxlvledc]

Like it, it's just expensive for what it is today.

[@elanrhys3178]

If you enjoy a buck style knife but don’t want the same weight you should consider looking into a Robert Klaas Monolith

[@redkey6538]

What is your view on spyderco knives

[@maxlvledc]

A little pricey but very good in general.

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

I've Olney ever heard of a couple of those companies. Love cold steel and buck. Haven't gotten any knives from harbor freight ( but I have a bunch of saws from them) Hey! That's a good idea, how about your favorite pocket/folding saws?

[@maxlvledc]

Hmmm, Havn't tested enough of them to make a conclusion

[@IGmeanwell]

I can’t add favorites from those brands but I do use daily the Gordon, it’s a perfect beater knife. Hopefully arriving soon is the Vosteed Raccoon; im stoked for that beauty.

[@maxlvledc]

uh oh, your whole knife scaling is going to be out of wack if you go all the way up to the racoon lols. Its arguably one of the best knives between 50-60

[@IGmeanwell]

@@maxlvledc Valid! I do have the Milwaukee knives (1530, 1520, 1505 and 1500) so I’m not so far off size wise. I’m looking forward to the button lock action. If need to go small, I have my old Boy Scout Victorinox, my dads 50+ year old Barlow and a Leatherman T2. I like my options.

[@williamrichards3707]

The SRM 9201 was really nice for the price, however the last one the Harber Freight knife for $10.00 is unbelievable...

[@jimhewettjr3730]

Great knives. Like them all, and have most of them. I've had that Ruike, and love it. So well made. If that was my only knife I wouldn't be disappointed. Too bad I'm an insane knife hoarder 😅

[@ben9and1-3rd]

The only 3 brands I own knives from, I would say my favorite is my '78 Buck 110, the JSWS you recommended and my AD-15 Lite. Nice list though. 👍🍻

[@maxlvledc]

Ooo, I miss my ad15 sometimes...

[@DitchDr101]

That OKnife looks identical to a kershaw skyline. Hmm

[@rickyhurtt5568]

I have to agree about the AD10. Kinda hard to carry unless wearing jeans or overalls but still love it. You said Bo diddle. Haha

[@maxlvledc]

🤣🤣

[@isthebeeflol]

I still like the Voyager more than the ad -10

[@maxlvledc]

I like that one too, but the texture is way too aggressive on the scales

[@palerider7171]

Thanks for sharing.

[@dmam412]

No opinel? Gotta do a classic knife carry video. Some of the older knives are just plain cool. M

[@Hikkinbmjh]

Very odd that CRK isn’t In the mix….

[@dennisvazquez2140]

I'm not a knife guy but have you heard of Sanrenmu?

[@mr.crumbles2557]

Thats SRM :)

[@maxlvledc]

Yep, what that guy said hehe, LAND is also Sanranmu and many Boker knifes are made by them

[@kahuna1247]

You're Oknife is mint. Give it some hard use and see it naturally scratch up, by then you won't care about the branding on the blade. A $400 Benchmade however...

[@maxlvledc]

Fair

[@Pzykoh_Tey]

Nice idea.

[@usernameisusername]

Damn tey u fast af

[@jshin31]

Ooohh boy this is going to be so difficult. Especially with brands that have a huge variety of knives

[@maxlvledc]

Ikr?!?!

[@mr.crumbles2557]

I dream of a slightly longer Drift

[@maxlvledc]

Stfu!!! Do not put that thought into my head! Muuusstt not let it in!! 😵‍💫 (I was perfectly content.....until...😮‍💨)

[@Rich_EDC]

Where's Chris reeve? Or sypdyerco?

[@maxlvledc]

spyderco is going to be hard..I have a few that I'm still considering. But I see ZERO reason to own a CR.. Ive held them all, non wow me. I am not a collector, and imo they offer NOTHING I cant get for $200 less. I have had multiple $300 knives that are finished better, and use somewhat upgraded materials. What does the CR sabenza offer that The Tactile Turn Rockwall doesn't? Iconic? absolutely. better objectively? nope.

[@skrus_1481]

Yes, Mr FlikFlak. But can it cut?

[@emesser7087]

Damit... I just bought a drift.. Just because of that video

[@maxlvledc]

😳, I mean...it's an amazing knife....no doubt, did you get smooth handle or crosshatch?

[@KoenMiseur]

That Coldsteel AD10 is way to big/heavy to be an EDC!

[@maxlvledc]

Naaaaaahhh hehe

[@RG_SRQ]

I carry a Kizer Sheepdog XL all the time. Makes everybody laugh every time when I pull it out.

[@windowbreezes]

I will pay $305 for a piece of Vanax superclean. and imagine the Harbor Freight knife with a high end steel re-blade. OOF

[@maxlvledc]

🤢

[@windowbreezes]

haha Harbor Freight Magnacut.

[@ephektz]

Why would you go to a restaurant and use a pocket knife to cut something on a plate? 😬

[@smnkm4ehfer]

No ZT? Fail

[@windowbreezes]

OKnife .....O-bnoxious. haha such word choice. The Cold Steel AD10 Handle looks like a Cowboy Boot. and Bestechman "Ronin" - that actually means a college loser in modern japan. haha

[@PaulBeetge]

I can't do 8cr13mov. It's just a steel I will never ever buy in my life. 14c28n sure. D2. Yes. 154cm. Yes. There are just better budget steels.

[@maxlvledc]

At $20, not really. But yes I agree 14c28n/NitroV/ar-rpm9/154cm are definitely preferable

[@PaulBeetge]

440c... no...

[@Rurik_Luci]

Ruike.... Rurik I already don't like them.
