Dude! I got the Kershaw Fraxion and am blown away by it at the current price point! Super light, great EDC size, and a good factory edge. Props to Kershaw!
You guys should absolutely do a dedicated boot knife banter.....I would love to see that..... as I was going through my collection lol I realized I'm starting to build up a knice little collection of boot knives......maybe a future episode???
A great budget knife that doesn’t get much love is the Byrd Meadowlark. Similar to the Delica, but I like it a little more because I really like the finger choil. It’s also ambidextrous friendly.
The Dozier is as fantastic as they say. The ESEE Churp is fun, but...my favorite "cheap" knife is the ESEE Zancudo, and has been for nearly ten years. It's barely out of this price category, unfortunately. (If you want something really nice that has a small profile like a Zancudo, the Tactile Rockwall is nice.)
Another great video! Great job Theo! Just bought a Sheepdog Mini Blade HQ Exclusive from you guys because of these videos and couldn’t be happier! Keep up the good work 👍
You left us in New Hampshire. I’m in Salem New Hampshire such a great state to live in because we live free or die. I spend less money on guns than the Benchmade Bugout cost. GOD BLESS AMERICA
If you have a man who's blue collar get him a fastback utility. I go through fastbacks yearly because of frequent use and neglect. However that being said my eyes still light up everytime I inevitably get one from my wife in my stocking each year. She used to buy me the screwdriver one but we decided that I really only needed the regular utility knife one. Idk if the actual bladed folding knife is any good I've never used one. From everything I can see it's just a button lock knife with plastic scales, stainless blade, and liner locks :/ My utilities don't have ball bearings from what I can tell either, but it has 4 brass washers in it and I'm telling you it falls just like my benchmade but for 11 bucks 😂
The CRKT Piet at $15 was maybe the deal of the year on a good budget blade.. Piet is named after Johan Piet who invented the compound bow. I made that up.. sounds good though so.
Anza knives are rad, the best file knives I've ever seen. We'll probably feature them at some point soon. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it! -George
@@BladeHQ Well it did finally ship today. I get it though with the holiday season and probably short staffed because people don't want to work anymore. Thanks for the heads up
Nope! These guys guessing at blade steels, on camera, you can look that stuff up before the shoot, replaced guys who actually used knives with talking heads; nope done with Blade HQ. former subscriber.

Kershaw seems to have somehow dialed in the detent on the Fraxion.
A lotta people sleep on Kershaw, but even some of their cheaper stuff has got good mileage from me.
New Hampshire in the house! Rep the 603 baby!
Say hi to my parents for me! -Theo
Love the mini Dozier even more than the full size one. As for the Fraxion, I have a few of them, and the detents are all quite snappy.
I have a mora spark.... that i got a couple years ago.... and I gotta say I've REALLY come to love using it.....fantastic knife for the money
I can think of 5 knives under 25 bucks that are absolutely awesome and worth having in the collection!!!!!
Love the lil jewels on that Brighten knife!

Interesting idea! We will add it to the hopper. -Jim
Great job guys! George and Theo are a fun duo! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the confidence! Thanks for watching! -George
Yup, I have that ka-bar dozier and it is just a great knife for the price. Nice and thin, great grip, decent edge.
You guys nailed this video. Also I think I need a couple more under $25 knives now!
I love this team! Welcome to VA, Theo. Apologies in advance for how we deal with winter 🤣Looking forward to seeing what you do!
I'm digging the off the wall crazy energy. No hate: I want to support BladeHQ, George and the team. Keep up the great work, guys.
Thank you for the good vibes!! -Jim
The bugout is not 135 or 140 price right now is 162 they went up a couple of weeks ago so sad
That Schrade fixed blade is cool !
The Dozier and the Piet are great knives for the price especially if its the d2 dozier
Those are all pretty cool.
never heard of the churp thats gonna be a purchase for sure
Missed the" True "folder. Love it.
Thanks!
Ps also LOVE how you brought the old Knife Banter theme back brings back nostalgia
A great budget knife that doesn’t get much love is the Byrd Meadowlark. Similar to the Delica, but I like it a little more because I really like the finger choil. It’s also ambidextrous friendly.
That one's super good too. If we do a sub-$50 video, that one will for sure be on the list! -George
We want more stickers for sure!
Great video guys!!!! Tho I do miss w.o.w very much... but this will do in the mean time.
I love this guy

Traditional Slip joint knives get no love on any of your videos ,
Rarely .
I also wish there was a lil more coverage of slipjoints here! I know it's not their fortë, but slippies need love too.
Who makes Brighton Blades? Or do they oem their own knives
Yo guys that one was really good ! Respect.
Another great video! Great job Theo! Just bought a Sheepdog Mini Blade HQ Exclusive from you guys because of these videos and couldn’t be happier! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you, Mark! We appreciate your feedback. -Jim
Hell ya! Haven’t caught a Knife Banter in a while.
We're glad you tuned in today! -Jim

8:55 sounds like he says it’s a solid lil nigga
Wow, I cant believe the quality you can get for under 25.00. Man i got get busy with some purchases
For real. Knife companies are starting to see that you can offer a really great knife for not a lot of money. -George
Please tell me what model of knife Mora is in your video?
the piet may be named after a danish designer or meaning " diminutive "
That Piet seems like a solid value.
The new guy is a natural - very comfortable on camera. Please get rid of the background music. It is very distracting.

What axe is in the background
That's the Hoffman Blacksmithing Fireman's Hatchet. -George
The CRKT Piet at $15 was maybe the deal of the year on a good budget blade..
Piet is named after Johan Piet who invented the compound bow.
I made that up.. sounds good though so.

My wife loves the fraction.
My mom nearly cut off two of her fingers with that exact model of morakniv a few days ago
What bracelet are you wearing George? Sick video BTW
That's a Dyneema soft shackle/daisy chain I made. I think I'm kind of getting into bracelets. We'll see where this takes me! -George
Piet was a Dutch painter! Just a guess...
In Dutch Piet is just a name, like Pete in English. It might be the same in Danish and they just named the knife Pete
The new guy was about to say the retailers name where he used to work at jaja!
🤣 I got not idea what you're talking about! -George
@@BladeHQ jaja funny
Hey would you guys at BHQ look an Anza knives?
Anza knives are rad, the best file knives I've ever seen. We'll probably feature them at some point soon. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it! -George
Y'all are amazing
Piet is a common men's name in the Afrikaans lanuage. The language is commonly spoken in South Africa & Namibia.
The first Voxnaes design might be named after Piet Mondrian... but its usually pronounced like "Pete."
As a european, i would assume PIET is taken from dutch forename Piet for Peter ;)
Opinel makes more epic sub $25 folders than all of these knives put together!
Live Free or Die! 🤘
So the title is about pocket knives but you show a chef's knife and machete?
Dude, the opinel is integral which would kinda make it hard to replace a handle
Good catch there! -Jim
Under $25 are true work knives, at least for me. I lose and find and lose knives all the time. Lose a $25 knife? Meh. Lose a $125 knife? 💔😡
Placed an order on November 30th and it hasn't even shipped yet... 5 days to pick out 2 of the same knife?
I want to apologize for your shipping delay! We have been working as hard as possible to get caught up with all the orders we have received. -Jim
@@BladeHQ Well it did finally ship today. I get it though with the holiday season and probably short staffed because people don't want to work anymore. Thanks for the heads up
Piet is a boys name. Meaning “rock”. If is pronounced PEET /Pete as you would in Afrikaans and Danish
Piet is Dutch, short for Peter
Thank you! I wonder who Peter is... -George
And pronounced PEET!
@@BladeHQ only famous Dane named Piet i can think of is Piet Hein. It might be named after him.
Piet is a name. Pieter pronounced like Peter. Peet
It's just to expensive to order knifes from the us to Europe...
You could say synthetic
$135.00 bugout... :(
" Watch it drop and wiggle"
Piet = Piet Hein.
Brighton blades ? Don't worry about theft 😅
Why does the new staff just feel like QVC knife show folk 😂
Nope! These guys guessing at blade steels, on camera, you can look that stuff up before the shoot, replaced guys who actually used knives with talking heads; nope done with Blade HQ.

Piet is Scottish meaning to gossip (talk a lot)
Schrade needs to stop with the hollow grind shit. Give us a full flat or a good saber. Quit the hollow grind!
It's a recurve, but the SCHF9 I have has a flat grind. It's also got a 1095 blade, and costs less than $50! Check that one out! -George
Ummmm... no grind is inherently weaker than another. A hollow grind can be thicker at all points than a convex grind.
Anything by Schrade is hot garbage.
I don't think there's much experience with those 2. Don't sound too knowledgeable to me
I think piet is something related with being religious or humble I hear it alone among the amish
… right …
