    I've been collecting & using knives for 25+ years and I would have to agree that the Benchmade Bugout delivered the biggest change to the idea of an 'EDC knife' in all that time. Leveraging off advances in materials & including modern features the Bugout really brought it all together and I thinks its sales prove the point. From this list it's the Para 3 for me (sorry I'm a Spyderco fanboy and the blade better suits my needs). Always love these types of vids - makes you realise the good stuff out there.

      @@slywolfe I just keep a random selection of knives with various actions on my side table, so whenever they're talking about a particular type of locking mechanism I can grab the same type and fidget with it while they discuss it. Its even better when they bring up one of the knives I have on the table. Bonus points for when I snap it open simultaneously with the knife on the video and the audio syncs up.

    Was kinda disappointed to not see the pm2 on here which is what I carry. I get that it’s bigger than what some people would prefer for an EDC. But I still find that it fits easily in my pocket and it’s not super heavy. And when deployed the longer handle plus the thumb ramp is such a great combo. I feel power and confidence behind the blade of a pm2 that I haven’t quite experienced with other EDC knives I’ve tried.
    I also love the bugout and have carried it a lot, but the pm2 just feels so freakin solid. Every time I use it I’m reminded why I gravitate towards it more than other offerings.
    But to each their own :) Thanks for the vid!

    My current folding edc is the Benchmade 496 Vector, but I change quite often because I own so many edc folders. I also edc a fixed blade. My favorite for a year now is the Benchmade Hunt series Steep Country 15006. The geometry & blade material of this knife is the perfect size for carrying inside the belt but outside the pants waist. It disappears underneath my untucked shirts & doesn't print through.

      I wish they could get some new/better designers at some of the featured companies, and unless you're spending big bucks right now you're stuck with some UGLY stuff. No thank you to plastics, carbon fiber, and star trek looking designs. I've never liked chunky ZTs or other overbuilt knives, not a fan of what case has been putting out (aesthetically), modern kershaws, spydercos, the list goes on... What really blows my mind is that a company like case or buck hasn't ventured into modernizing traditional designs, like how did Pena manage to beat Case to the punch in making a framelock trapper? Hell if you look at the Twosun ts232, doesn't that scream high quality american pocketknife? I have one, and it's fantastic, probably one of my most beloved knives. But it took a chinese manufacturer to do it first?! Lazy, unimaginative, greedy corner-cutting accountants and executives is how. Benchmade puts out some good looking stuff, I have a bugout with brass scales, love it!

      @@Ajaxykins Kinda have the same tastes. Wish there were more "modern classics". I don't care for most uber-tactical or fantasy/futuristic designs. I've been really impressed with some of Civivi's button locks lately. The Cogent, Elementum (button), Altus, Conspirator are all right on point, aside from me wishing they offered better steel selections. The new Chevalier they just put on the website for pre-order has me very excited. I'm hoping these catch on and the big name manufacturers catch on.

    I like assisted and I only use knives with the crossbar locking mechanism.

    The only modern folder I really like is the bugout. I usually carry slipjoints like the case sodbuster jr or the victorinox small tinker and don't really like the look or feel of most locking knives. But that bugout looks perfect, its just so expensive.

    It was interesting to see that the Sodbuster Jr. had what appeared to be a stonewashed blade. I remember them in the past having a very high polished blade.

    The ZT 0640 is a knife you have to mod in order to get the most out of it. The clip is right on the edge of useless, so budget for something from MXG Gear or Lynch. The scales do a poor job of locking the pivot in place so it’s difficult to adjust the action or disassemble the knife, they’re also downright fugly… look to Sharp Dressed Knives to address this issue. While you’re at it, a larger thumb disk from Gray Precision makes deployment easier and more enjoyable. I’ve sunk Sabenza money into my 0640 and finally love it. I’m just not convinced it was worth it. Too many compromises and shortcuts in build.

    I really like Seth as a backup for Dave both men are very knowledgeable about knives my only complaint is they stay with the same companies I think they should venture out more with all the companies out there I love knifecenter and both men Seth and Dave are gems in the industry sincerely Wild Bill

      I thought the same, it made the lack of a Sebenza on the table feel a little conspicuous - although I realise they're tricky to keep in stock!

    Don’t forget the American-made EDC fixed blades! ESEE, Bark River, White River, even Benchmade and Spyderco. And that’s just searching the surface!
