I appreciate your knowledge of the Emerson knives and sharing your collection. Well done 🤜🤛👏🤌

This version is available: Spyderco Military 2 Sprint Run Folding Knife Black Carbon Fiber Handle S90V Plain Edge C36PCF2 $294.00

Thanks Chuck

Nice one killer finish and the size looks perfect

Vans. Off the Wall! 😅👊🍻🔪

That bead is cool as hell

Dope blade bro 🤘🏼

This guys is a 🤡 clearly a fan boy of a protech and barely could find something to complain about.

Love the pocket clip. Just got my XL complete DLC.

👍 I’ve carried the wave releases for over a decade. Have the cqc11 skinner but would like bigger and pointier 🌊 is my favorite of all.

thats such awesome cutter i love it

Probably is my favorite model from them. 😎🤘🤘

That is an interestingly beautiful one.

Is that the original lanyard tube or did you get one of the ones from rockscale design? I’m looking to make a very similar Mil2

Garbage company.

That is a sexy knife. Love the TS finish. There are all kinds of angles on that blade going on lol. Seems like it can't make up its mind, but is useful for all kinds of slicing and dicing. I bet the process to achieve that TS finish is similar to what Lynch NW does for their 'blacksmith' clips. They superheat the steel and quench it in oil, which leaves a dark finish to it. I'm sure after that Emerson tumbles it to get the 'battle' wear look. That's my guess. I still want to get a real Emerson someday. I'm eyeing that CQC-7 waveless. The wave feature is cool, but I'm not a ninja and I'm annoyed when my 0620 gets hung up on my pants when I'm just trying to pull her out slowly. So I'm cool with foregoing the wave feature when I have the option. Cheers bro 😎👊

Thanks for the quick look. The CQC 15 is definitely on my list. Fortunately I'm not far from the Emerson shop, so I have been able to pop in to the storefront and check stuff out in person. I got an Apache in the store a few months ago, and now im heading down the Emerson rabbit hole. Thanks for all of you're videos sir

I agree. Most times I’d rather just spent more to get a knife with better handle materials. That being said, I got some RGT Ti skinny scales for my 15V PM2, Manix and Shaman and they are game changers 👍

Just bought Awt scales. Love the look and feel. But now my native has lock rock 😢

I like the way you present and the knowledge you have. You need more subs

My only complaint with mine was there was a fairly obvious looking smudge on the blade when I took it out the box. It looked like it took a belt wrong well it was being sharpened and it wasn’t cleaned up perfect. I could totally be misinterpreting what I was looking at. I believe I wiped it off and it’s flawless now. I only have 1 other Spyderco pocket knife, a crucarta pm2. The crucarta pm2 came completely flawless and is still in fantastic shape, well being one of my most carried knives. There was a break in period with the new military 2 like you said. It flings open well, doesn’t really drop shut like the new Benchmade limited with artic storm carbon fiber, but I’m ok with that. I like both knives for what makes them their own unique pieces.

I’ve never scale swapped or rit dyed. Too poor, plus I’m too hard on stuff. I just want it to cut. I think it looks cool but not for me.

Yes! If I really like a given design but either don't love the stock scales or like an aftermarket scale a lot better, absolutely. It's usually looks or feels but in some cases, it's functional. For instance, the Flytanium scales on my Dragonfly do more than make it feel more sturdy. With the added washers and titanium back spacer, the knife seems to run better and reassembly is easier.

Most of the time I only replace scales if they're really flimsy/featherweight, like on a Bugout or Deka for instance. Otherwise, most of the time stock scales seem pretty reasonably done. Especially metal vs plastic-y scales. But, man, no scales will ever make a Spyderco look cool 🤣😎👍 It'd be hard to wait on USA-made scales if you had good options from brands that OEM in China, but I'd hate myself for sullying a USA-made knife with something like that. Not knocking you, but I'm that dedicated to keeping it "pure." Just wouldn't feel right otherwise. I don't even like keeping my knives in cases or rolls that are made in China 😆it's the last bastion of USA-made stuff that I am clinging to...sniff 😢

I am probably older than most people watching this but I have never had the desire to "mod, personalize or otherwise change" scales or other components of any of my knives. Treating knives like a bunch of little girls with their Barbie dolls will never be in my plans! Modern knives are expensive enough without the added expense of non essential nonsense. As far as pre orders go, let those money grabbers finance their own screwball projects, I'm not a finance company ‼️

I want to but too broke-ish from all the knife purchases.

Mod em all🤘🤘

Love the wharncliffe endura. Like you, I have been searching for more premium feeling scales to go with that ba blade. I've had that set in my cart for months but haven't pulled the trigger because I wasn't sure of the quality, and they seem a little overpriced at $140(w/backspacer), all things being considered. You still feeling like they are pretty decent pickup? After seeing how nice they look on the knife I'm probably just gonna have to bite the bullet and grab a set; especially seeing's how they are the only game in town.

my favorite Medford platform

That's a sweet blade 🤘😸

mine came with great action and great centering, but man is there awful lock stick

Cold Steel FM-1 is my favorite this year…

CJRB Ruffian

Haven’t bought many knives this year as getting back into the lowrider cars. But I did get the Twosun ts554 yesterday and really digging it. Checks a lot of boxes for me especially for $100.

Been carrying my Microtech Combat Troodon Gen 3 and my TAD Rexford R.U.T.

The only knife that came out this year that I had for a short while was the Kershaw Bel Air. It's a nice knife. IMO it's not a "bugout killer" since they're different enough that I don't think they truly compete despite being about the same size (Bel Air is smaller), but a pretty nice knife nonetheless. I kinda want to pick up the new CF Satin version. Tis sexy looking. Otherwise, every knife I buy is old and discontinued, but I'll say my favorite purchase this year was the ZT 0620. Just picked up a nice user to rotate in with a sweeet mirror edge on it. Such a beast of a knife 😎

Emerson Patriot and Emerson Hattin

In 2024 For me it would definitely be Strider SMF Hybrid dagger hand ground in rwl34. Also really digging Speed Demon by TRC and Inlayed Inkosi Insingo in MC

Ive found that a lot of people dont understand what "peel ply" means. They think it means the laminated crap. Farid Mehr FMP is my favorite. Nothing's even close.

Seems like I am always buying selling and trading. Currently all about my Double Homicide

My favorite of the year is the Quiet Carry LCT drift in Vanax. I would change absolutely nothing about this knife. I absolutely love it

Love the Medford! Eagerly awaiting the review.

My favorite new purchase this year has to be the microtech stitch. The Military 2 is not far behind tho.

My favorites to use this year have been fixies, slip joints, and automatics, FOBOS Tier 1 BC, Boker barlow, Microtech Ultratech.🤙

Very interesting and robust tool - will be checking out SNT's thoughts on it. With the thick bladestock comes the thick backspring, and thus the impossible pull weight (I can hear Michael McKean from Spinal Tap saying, "But this pull weight is 11" in the background:-)

My favorites I got this year are the Winterblade M-fire and the Medford Nosferatu!

My winterblade factor eight only had it for a week but I love it.

My Brown Mini FSD-I, Cortex XL, Skiff Fugitive, Asylum. Spyderco Sage 5 in Rex121 with RGT Ti scales. SPK Lamia NG scales. Koenig non flipper mini Arius corda pattern in ano blue. 💯

Full TI XM-24 Bowie bronze lock & showside scales, Medford Arktika, Medford Proxima😉, Trouble Blades Mofo, and Curtis Customs F3 Large ( old school version).
