Top 5 EDC Knives with Talon Sei | Knife Banter Ep. 80

[@TalonSei]

Thanks for having me on guys! If you are ever on the east coast, you gotta swing by my range 💥💥💥

[@BladeHQ]

We need to make that happen ASAP! That Provoke review was awesome!

[@Pishadoo42]

Checkout the CRKT Homefront Tanto

[@74asianpanda]

Wait.. You in Florida?!

[@bd7104]

Talon you need a BRS Alpha Beast or an ELB proflipper will manage that sebenza pretty nicely

[@KirkWagner147]

Been following this guy for years. Come a long way. Cool video

[@mr.lonely2463]

For as long as I can remember my grandpa carried the Gerber paraframe and about a month before he died he gave that and his old gloves he used when he was an officer to me. I used it for years. He had broke the tip off of it and sharpened a new one on to it. I ended up losing it and thinking I forgot it in Colorado on a road trip but about 2 years later we had a lot of rain and the knife showed up in my yard. Barely any rust and dull as hell. But I was still able to salvage it and use it once again

[@barneymiller7894]

The paraframe is one of my all time favorite budget knives, i got my first one when i was about ten.

[@319jack319]

Oh no I coming way too late

[@lukeescobedo4150]

That was my first knife i bought ever. I lost it on a trip jumping across a stream.

[@mitchellkerby9828]

I got the camo one a loved it. But now I carry kershaws

[@joshglover2370]

@@lukeescobedo4150 Bummer! 😟

[@dieseldabz7104]

The knife that did it for me was my Benchmade Ares Black Class Axis folder I bought after joining the military, then purchased my 1st fixed blade from them as well called the Nimravus. Carried both for YEARS! Already loved knives and had collected a few. Been a huge Benchmade fan ever since and own well over a dozen new and OLD models like the Spike and Leopard

[@PJRGOLF08]

Love that you caught up with talon, two very good channels coming together!

[@prescribedcarry]

Easy choice for his new knife! Boker Magnum Rainbow Mermaid! #classic

[@BladeHQ]

Really a necessity for any true collection 😁.

[@ctzenalien]

Yeah, I think I’ll have to go with that one, too. Lol.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

The good ol QVO HQ!

[@GutiTheJ]

Didn't expect him to be on here, good to see it !

[@jpbours]

Great to see two channels I like together. Thanks to talon I bought my las wallet, and love it. I think you should buy any spider o saltar. I love mine, and have abused it without getting a single rust spot on it.

[@cheese4987]

That paraframe was my first knife back when i was 12 lol

[@raymondleonguerrero6498]

I love watching stuff and things, Sunday Gun day, knife banter. the next knife should be a BM 940. love the work guys keep it up

[@brando_soto28]

Boker Magnum Rainbow Mermaid! Great knife, gotta have! And can’t wait to get my hands on the CRKT Provoke! Great video, thanks guys!

[@spencerpatterson8815]

He seems like a super chill guy! Loving the beard! Hopefully I win that Karambit! I’ve been wanting one so I can be SUPER MEGA ULTRA HIGH END TACTICAL!

[@honestdave]

You guys should do a video on the cheapest knives at BladeHQ

[@BladeHQ]

Great suggestion. It went on the list!

[@grizzlycountry1030]

@@BladeHQ you gotta include the old timer landshark which is an amazing and cheap edc.

[@bastioncash]

Blade HQ you need to do a video like this call is “balling on a budget” and you need to include the crkt ikoma fossil with the VEFF serrations, I love that knife more people need to know about it

[@markbrandt504]

That's exactly how I was with my first Benchmade. I spent like 3x what I ever spent on a knife. I never used it. 5 years later and $1000s of dollars later on other knives, it's now my heavy use work knife on the farm.

[@TheTinManTJ]

A few of my knives really stand out as far as 'WOW factor' as soon as I took them out of the box. That ZT 0804CF is DEFINITELY one of them! I'm so glad I sprung for one when they went on clearance. It was still more expensive than what I normally pay for a knife, but the 'fit and finish', the balance and feel in the hand, and that buttery smooth action is so worth it! It's certainly on my list of knives that I'll never sell.

[@ucdontu]

Boker Magnum Rainbow Mermaid seems like a safe bet!

[@i.q369]

Criiiiiinge!!!

[@TheTroxtrot]

Definitely gotta get that Benchmade 940-1. It's been one of my few grail knives since I got into the knife world, and I recently got one. The Osborne design is stunning and the lightness of it is mindblowing. Definitely earns its spot in many collections. Also as a side note I just submitted my order for the CRKT Pilar because Zach just won't shut up about it and I have to see if it lives up to his hype! So maybe that should be added to the collection too, we'll see.

[@BladeHQ]

Glad you're getting one! Let me know how you like it once you've carried it for a bit. Email me at [e-mail]

[@waxCelebration]

Done! And the knife Talon should get is a Microtech L-UDT all black! I love mine and hope that the provoke will find it's way to my pocket!

[@heathelvenholl7798]

I think Talon should get a spyderco shabaria. I knife a good friend of mine that Talon reminds me of carried back in the day. With his style and taste it seems like a good fit! Love both channels and always look forward to your next videos. Thanks to Talon I got myself a tachyon 3 and thanks to blade hq my knife collection has been growing at a steady pace lol. God bless.

[@jordannakayama2067]

Gotta get the boker magnum rainbow mermaid! Great video guys

[@kylepartridge5090]

YYEEESS I’ve been waiting for this! And talon, I think you should review the CRKT Ruger 2-Stage. It’s a beast for a budget, and it’s going to be my next knife. I would love to see what you think of it.

[@joshuayao2015]

Talon! Go for the Benchmade 940-2. I wasn't a huge fan of the green aluminum handle on the regular 940, but the G10 scales on the 940-2 make it my perfect EDC knife!

[@michaellurch9472]

Can we get a knife banter on knife sizes? Knives come in so many different sizes and I feel like a lot of them have different uses and appeals based on that. From your Victorionox Classic to your big honking Buck 110

[@BladeHQ]

Great idea we put it on the list!

[@michaellurch9472]

Blade HQ oh dope! Looking forward to it ✌🏼

[@michaellurch9472]

Blade HQ also while I’ve got your ear. Tell talon he should get that new spyderco Subvert. It’s such a beast almost impractical for an everyday carry but it’s amazing

[@RockyMountainBear]

I see a Tanto Microtech in Talons future, and CRKT Karambit in mine.

[@mountainmanwatchreviews8081]

Jefari H. Talon, like me lives in Pennsylvania so the microtech would be illegal. Not that he couldn’t add it to his collection but he wouldn’t be able to carry it.

The Kershaw 1670 is hands down the best knife I have ever owned. EDC for the last few years and it has failed to disappoint me

[@brandonwynn604]

Oh man that axis lock, it looks so smooth. Should definitely pick up the Kershaw Blur

[@ksaucegti]

Love the celebrations popping up from blade hq and talon. Maybe he should look at a small edc fixed blade like the Bradford Guardian.

[@andyp3329]

Talon, you have to go with the Benchmade 980 Turret. Yes, it's a tactical knife and will most likely be used for opening boxes (like I do with it) but it is a gorgeous knife. Plus it's a beast. A definite must have!

[@fordsandfirefighters3145]

I started out with a kershaw vapor and moved to a benchmade 550 grip

[@498drifter]

This is awesome to see two of my favorite channels collab. Talon needs one of the fabled mermaid knives

[@BladeHQ]

Glad you dug it! We have to come up with a mermaid knife challenge😂

[@lmcc8798]

I also carried a sebenza for years and recently went back to it. It’s only gotten better with time.

[@bhoard3791]

the best thing about talon is that he is super chill like isnt screaming all the time

[@crytpolane3449]

First off, I would like to give a giant thanks to both of you and everyone behind the scenes who makes these videos. I make my purchases through BladeHQ specifically due to the time and effort that is put into the reviews and vlogs/interviews with all of the amazing knifes and knife makers. I am subscribed and have notifications for both BladeHQ and Talon Sei. Whilst pondering over what knife Talon should get next, I thought about what could possibly compare (if any) to the Benchmade 87. As I have been doing lately, I went to BladeHQ.com and the hunt was on. Knowing that Talon adores his 87, I was thinking of something comparable so he could also do a side by side review video on his channel. This in turn led me to the BladeRunnerS Systems (BRS) Alpha Beast Infinity. Both the BRS Alpha Beast Infinity and Benchmade 87 have all of the qualities that one looks for in a balisong; smooth, balanced, quality, and fit that niche of "you get what you pay for". In conclusion, BRS Alpha Beast Infinity VS Benchmade 87....DUN-DUN-DUUUUN!!! Or not a versus, because both are works of art and a guy/gal should own both.

[@BladeHQ]

Amazing response and reasoning! Thanks for all the support.

[@crytpolane3449]

You’re welcome for the support!! Thanks again for the content. I live in the National Grasslands of North Dakota. Shops are practically impossible to come by for testing and choosing the feel of equipment I find necessary in the field. Your information and choice of products truly makes my narrowing of tools (knives) streamlined. The joy you all show in knives is refreshing and contagious. Thanks again.

[@nvrumi]

Wow, what a well thought out and articulate comment. I think that Talon Sei should do this knife just because of your comment! I agree with you all the way -- great content, love of the tools, well produced, and fun. I get my blades from BladeHQ.com, too, unless I buy direct from the manufacturer.

[@crytpolane3449]

David Thompson Thank you for the kind words David. I take great pride in all I do, even KZbin comments...blessing and a curse.

[@joelbergstrom4992]

I have honestly read through all of the comments to see which knives had been suggested. By far no other comment is as well thought out as this and the choice of knife is spot on. Give it up BladeHQ, not just some knife choice, but a seriously contemplated decision here. This guys got the job in my book.

[@KloPoon]

I just subbed to talon a few months ago. I now have 3 all black backpacks, and am thinking of getting a sub 2000. Really appreciate his opinion!

[@BladeHQ]

He really does a great job at being honest with his reviews.

[@richardcameronlewis]

Talon, I highly recommend one of the Hinderer designed ZT0562 in G-10 while they are still $150. It can handle fairly hard use, is very slicy, the actions is buttery smooth, and the current price is on this knife is one of the greatest values in mid-range production knives. They are discontinued, so nab one while you still can. Sure you can get the fancy scales, hardware, spacers, clips, etc, but far a good all around med-hard user the 0562 usually finds its way into my pocket. I mention this knife to specifically since you like all of your knives to have purpose and be a daily user. I know, I'm the same way. It actually help you control the If you want a safe queen, but and XM-18 Gen. 6, Full or Half track,

Talon I highly recommend the Cold-steel finnwolf. One of the best out of the box for its price knives i’ve had the pleasure of every day carry. Sadly I lost it but the scandi on it is extremely sharp. The Provoke looks like an inanely fun and different knife i’d love to give it a chance if it wasn’t out of my price range.

Talon should take a shot at using the CRKT Snap Lock. It's a nice and affordable knife to contrast the pricier knives shown in the video. It's a pretty fun mechanism and it's served me well as an EDC in the past. A great conversation piece too! Side note: Tomorrow, the 21st, is my birthday and it would be SUPER COOL to receive the Provoke as a sort of birthday present. Thank you for giving your viewers and opportunity to win such a sick knife! Looking forward to seeing who gets it!

[@stephenyip826]

My top 3 knives would be the Benchmade 940-1, the Spyderco PM3, and the Buck 110 Auto. Gotta pick up one of these if you haven't already.

[@dfunk1323]

I don’t think it’s your style but it definitely going to be my next knife, the Kizer Laconico Yorkie Frame Lock Flipper Knife (2.57" Blue) Ki3525A2. I love the satin blade finish and the blue anodized titanium frame. It’s with a look.

[@Evi1_K_Official]

Definitely should get a CRKT Ripsnort especially if you do a lot of scraping with your knives. It is one of my go tos for working on any kind of project

[@brandonlo485]

You should get a Svord Mini Peasant knife! It's a little different than what you're used to, its a cheap $15 friction folder but it's been my EDC knife for about a year now and it's by far my favourite. It's cheap so I don't feel bad about really abusing it and it's super easy to maintain and really hard to mess up

[@dylanloggins7419]

Definitely the new benchmade bugout. Extremely light and solid edc knife and great for camping and hiking too.

[@Dialysisforever]

I have the Gerber paraframe with the half serrated blade. I have had it for at least 6 years, maybe more. The only thing I could imagine being better is this knife with scissors built in. I use it for boxes, bags, tie wraps, styrofoam, rubber and more. Is there really a better knife if this one does all I need it to? Thanks for the video.

[@jackson-ls4fm]

I'm just getting into knives. Iv carried a Kershaw shuffle for as long as it's been out, they are cheap and the bottle opener is nice. I'm looking to get something a little nicer. I'm torn between Benchmade and Spyderco. Any advice?

[@markharting8872]

I’ve recently gotten into knives and currently have two Gerbers, both of which are Bear Grylls models that I received as gifts a little while back. I’m personally looking at getting the Benchmade 4400 Casbah, but they’re currently out of stock at BladeHQ. I think that Talon’s next knife should be the Benchmade 365 Outlast.

Lol my first knife was the smaller version of Talon's Gerber. It was like $13 at Sportsman Warehouse. Dream knife would be ZT 560. Great video!

[@BowserPower001]

Talon should get the spyderco smock. I haven't handled one yet but I love the looks. And the flipper that doesn't interfere with everything in pocket.

[@dbackbb]

Talon, you should pick up the Benchmade 940. My personal favorite for EDC. Thanks guys, great content. I enjoy your channels.

[@krissisk4163]

My first knife was an Old Timer, no idea what model. My great-grandfather gave it to my dad when he was a kid and my dad gave it to me when I was a kid. At some point in the next few years I'll be passing it on to my son. Also, there's nothing wrong with a Gerber Paraframe. There's something to be said for an EDC you'll just shrug and replace if something happens to it. I'm really not a karambit guy, but the Provoke looks cool enough I'm considering getting one.

[@BMTH2296]

Gerber paraframe was the first knife I really carried daily as well. And the spiderco tenacious was my second, but from there I went to a manix 2, but crazy to see the similarities.

Talon you should check out the Spyderco manix 2 XL all black Great cross between axis lock and para looks sweet in all black as well.

[@GrieverVIIIx25x]

I think you should take a look at getting a Benchmade Bedlam (manual or auto). They are really unique and everyone loves a benchmade axis lock knife
