[@marktaylor223]

My Osborne hasn’t left my pocket since the day I bought it it’s awesome.

[@Idle_Cerberus]

Same here I got the auto Osborne in the green with purple spacer few weeks ago, but I thought it was called the Osborne cuz of the green goblin color scheme lmfaoo🤣

[@lucixmon]

Love mine, gotta say I just couldn’t live without it

[@derose2026]

I recently picked up a barrage

[@-COD-GOLDGRINDER]

I either carry the benchmade Osborne 940 or the microtech ultra (I’m not saying that because the video mentioned it) and the CRKT scribe.

[@REAPER3fitty]

Same.

[@stalwartteakettlepotato9879]

Para 2 is a useful and also fun knife.

[@charlesdudek7713]

PM2. Para3 and both awesome

[@GoFlyPix]

Spyderco para 2 super fan for life! Best pocket knife ever made.

[@AmericanRenaissanceMan]

Better be for the price

[@edxlee]

@@AmericanRenaissanceMan the Ultratech shown is double the price lol

[@1001CP]

I still have my Syderco Police model I carried every day for over 20 years. Great knife also..

[@deejay2793]

All beautiful tools, but shame only one is under $200.

[@Thyunknownrising]

You pay for what you get

[@deejay2793]

@@Thyunknownrising inflation is what you get. Even D2 edc’s are overpriced. Idk what world you’re living in but it sounds nice.

[@Thyunknownrising]

@@deejay2793 bought a spyderco para 2 at age 17, carried it everyday since im 22 now, ive beat tf out of it used it as a prybar/screwdriver/hammer/wedge etc. almost daily. Its still true and sharp ofc i sharpen it but its never failed me. Ill spend another 260$ for one anyday, before the para 2 ive owned alot of “good brand” cheapers knives and theres a reason why i stuck with my para2

[@deejay2793]

@@Thyunknownrising that’s awesome & the pm2 is great. I prefer the bhq exclusive shaman, but generally I go with benchmade. For a beater I use a dpx hest which hasn’t let me down yet. An s30 with g10 knife just really shouldn’t be at the price point they’re at. I mean great action & tight pivot help make a good knife too & mechanics come into it. I’ve never owned a Chris Reeve but I think you can get that quality for a little le$$. Lol, I also would probably never use it if I paid for it. Thanks for your input & opinion bro. Keep on collecting! Wait till you get into autos & otfs.

[@Thyunknownrising]

@@deejay2793 i would have autos/otfs if i could carry them but i live in the shit state of CA and you cant carry them if their blades are over 2.5inches

[@The2aAdvocate]

I have the osborne and freak, the ultratech and the para military. I love them all. The freak and the paramilitary get USED while the microtech hasnt touched an object but its the most broken in

[@edxlee]

my Ultratech is pretty much just my fidget toy lol, my PM2 gets all the use and carry

[@madtinkerer]

I have the Paramilitary 2 and it is an absolute beast of a blade. Use it for everything from slicing and breaking down packages to neat cutting work

[@bikeman9419]

No American made knife list is complete without a Buck 110

[@stompingpeak2043]

Kershaw is my number 1 edc. You can get some very amazing products for under 50 dollars. They may be laughed at for not being one of the "high end" names but their blades definitely hold upto anything. They also have a major advantage. If you lose your knife or ruin it by cutting something you shouldn't have it's fine. Idk how to explain it but Kershaw is absolutely the best bang for your buck. Even if they were twice the price this would be true. Right now you can go to your local Walmart and buy a nice sized assisted open for like 30 dollars. That blade will last you a very long time.

[@supermeme4]

I would agree with this. I own 2 of Kershaw's more high-end knives with the Launch 11 and Launch 3 and I think I paid $110 for each and they're easily as nice as any more "premium" auto knives I've handled and both have lasted through years of hard use as my EDC and when I finally did break the blade on my Launch 3 after about 3 years of abuse, it was only a couple weeks before Kershaw perfectly warrantied my knife and had it back rocking in my pocket.

[@Burgerbeast101]

I got a couple Kershaws recently and i actually love them. Definitely one of my new favorite brands now.

[@JoyofBooking]

I carried a Kershaw Ken Onion Boa for years, was my favorite until I received my Benchmade Barrage

[@totopullingbackcurtain4445]

I have a kershaw blur with 440A steel I use for work everyday. The only downside is the blade needs to be sharpened once a week. I had a civivi cogent with 14c28n steel I used at the same job needed sharpened every 3 months or so. The type/quality of steel makes a huge difference. These 2 knives were the same price.

[@bronsontolliver9027]

I've got about half a dozen Hotwires ever since I heard they were discontinued. Possibly the best basic pocket knife you could own. Dirt cheap, simple steel, solid assisted open.

[@walrathjrj]

Buck 110, Folding Hunter. Quality American made.

[@TucoDog-ho6fw]

I finally bought a couple of CRK’s thinking I won’t feel like buying more folding knives. Damn. I was wrong again😂

[@samuelcolt4591]

Fun fact the Chris Reeves Sebenza knife is made here in Idaho, but hooooly cow are they absolutely elusive to get your hands on. I would love to get one

[@SharpPokeyThings]

I guess you've never heard of Oz Roosevelts huh? 🤣 Try to get one of them!

[@jasonmeehan6080]

A lot of places have them in stock. Check out knifejoy or recon1

[@eddieg9506]

PM2 stays with me at all times and I rotate other knives. Most people I know carry gas station knives. When we pocket check they have no clue what I'm carrying but somehow the shape of a Spyderco automatically gets praise. Sebenza goes way over people's heads, especially the price. Automatics like the godson are crowd pleasers!

[@sfstone9403]

the protech godson looks so nice its not to pricey and (i wouldn't know because i dont own any protechs) most people say the actions on protechs are great plus i really like the minimalistic modernized stiletto design on it

[@dbmail545]

Side opening autos benefit from a shorter blade. I have the Pro-Tech Godfather and three Godsons. The Godson is much snappier than the bigger Godfather.

[@Bigfootsbigtoe]

Para 2 in s45 vn is the only pocket knife I’ve had that will process game from bear to waterfowl, even quail. It takes a beating and stays sharp, it works well for food prep, it’s easy to get an edge back on it with diamond stones, it is buttery smooth, it’s USA made, it’s comfy damn near any way you grip it. If I wasn’t a huge outdoorsman I wouldn’t even need an esee which is my go to for fixed blades. If I wasn’t a fireman and need a multi tool I wouldn’t have a leatherman skeletool. If you’ve struggled to find the knife that fits you do yourself a favor save yourself the next 2 $150 knife purchases and buy that para 2 in s45 or cruwear, then after about a month you’ll buy another just so you’ve got an extra if you ever wear that fucker out from using the hell out of it on shit you shouldn’t simply because it’ll take it and keep on going with some slaps on a diamond stone. And might I add I can use this bastard hard for a week, maybe 5 passes on the stone, 20 licks on a ceramic and strop it on Sunday and it’ll shave your balls. 5 minute sharpening jobs folks good for a week of hard use, a month of moderate use. And I really don’t think some of you get what I mean by hard use, that week i speak of is a damn gold medal for this knife.

[@yetiguy1714]

Love my 940, but I got 2 custom made crooked rivers (full size) and it’s honestly the perfect knife in my opinion. Truly a work of art, and absolutely timeless. The wood scales are beautiful.

[@bb_gunbandit4782]

I just got my first Benchmade last week, a custom Crooked River with an S90V blade. It's probably gonna be the only knife I carry until the day I die.

[@unknown_-ed2rs]

You should check out fearless knives. They make switchblades with a cast shell not cnc so it's a lot cheaper, I've had one for a couple years now and all I've had to do is sharpen it because I whittled with it and cut a lot of cardboard with it and retighten a screw (which was my own fault).

[@TTVBunnyDougie]

Benchmade 940 all day, everyday. The Para 2 is amazing as well considering its price.

[@mrydobon]

I love the Benchmade's axis lock. My bugout is so smooth that it might as well be a gravity knife, but it's legal just about everywhere.

[@PierceyeG]

I've had a 942 since the year they launched. Fantastic EDC. Slim enough to carry easily, but has enough blade to be useful in a variety of situations. I just want this configuration in a better steel. 154CM is good, but it has definitely been surpassed. I have yet to see the black aluminum handle scales paired with a partially serrated, uncoated blade since the 942 model was taken off the shelves. I don't think you can even get that combo in the Customize area on Benchmade's site, unless I missed something.

[@reedjohnson6140]

I have the benchmade 940 and the spiderco para2 and can without a doubt say the spyderco is the better everyday carry. Now the 940 is a great knife don’t get me wrong it’s probably better for someone that is a bit harder on knives. The tonto blade is great for heavy duty prying and is an all around rugged knife, however the spyderco is easier for your everyday guy to keep sharp and clean. You can’t go wrong with either truly but after carrying both for a year the spyderco is my go to. Cheers

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

You are drunk. 940 SHITS on a para 2.... Para 2 is outdone by the para 3.... PM2 is good not great. There are 3 4 things that are Goofy at best.

[@maxreide686]

[@limjahey3119]

[@TonySop]

As a Coloradoan I wanted to pick a spyderco over my benchmade 940 but that thing just always finds it’s way into my pocket while doing tough work. My bugout and other spydercos are great for daily tasks though!

[@notottomedic]

Love my spyderco. My dad gave it to me as a gift when I was younger (because he knew it was my favorite of his collection). It's still very sharp to this day.

[@jesusofamerica]

This is a solid top 5 for folding knives overall. Everything here is the standard and bar of what it does.

[@jesusofamerica]

If you have all of these as a (knife collector) this is a grail catalog

[@HorsepowerHeaven]

Yayyyy I’m grail catalogue collector. I use and kick the crap out of most my knives but I have all of these and many more! Thinking of changing my channel to a edc channel.

Do you have giant monster hands or is that a small sebenza? I recently just started collecting CRK and I will admit they are some of the best and coolest knives I own. Some people think they are kind of boring or whatever but understanding it's heritage and that it was kind of the original of what it is makes it just super cool in my book. The godson is another one I need to get I have always looked at it but I think it's getting close to pulling the trigger

You can pull the clip off and retention it very easily with some pliers. Clips bend, it happens. They'll bend back.

Unless your willing to shell out money all the time to get it tuned, the Micro Tech Ultratech is not a good choice for carry everyday. It will get constantly gummed up with dirt and grime and ultimately not function well.
