Came across your video and really enjoyed the laid back presentation. I've been EDC'ing a gold class proper with burgundy micarta scales and damasteel sheeps foot blade now for about 1 1/2 years now. It is everything I could ask for in a nice pocket knife..
Terrific review, photography, pacing, editing, and music. Really top shelf work.
Very detailed review, you deserve more views man, subbed.
thanks man! Means a lot!
Instead of refining this knife, Benchmade has discontinued the Proper. A few can still be bought third party, but when those are gone, that’s it.
Nice review!
Just found out that it's discontinued, lost my proper a couple of weeks back. But luckily found it deep in the sofa the other day 😂. I was deep in mourning over its loss.
This is a great video on the proper. Very well thought out. I just found your channel and am very impressed. Keep
up the great work. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it! :)
I've carried a slip joint most of my life, mainly because in the south in the US they are as common as a sunrise. I've recently made the switch to more modern knives, but I still love a good slip joint.
Good review my friend! I'm only 28yrs old, but the older I get the more I'm drawn to slip joints. I've thought about buying slip joints like Case, but this is the first slip joint I actually fell in love with. I think it looks great. Thanks again for the review!
I think its a great slipjoint, even though a lot of people seem to hate it. If I'd lose it today I would buy it again in a heart beat.
@@TobisTings People just nit pick at small things today and expect everything to be perfect. I'm not gonna cry about the slip strength being weak like a few people have pointed out simply because it's not the type of knife you pry with and stuff. As long as you use it right it's fine. Definitely gonna pick one up when my taxes come in.
Gerald Burns Couldn't agree more! Awesome, I hope you will get a ton of good use out of it! :)
Ordering one now due to you’re stellar review. Been thinking about it for a while. I’d like at least a few cool slip joints in the collection an this one seemed like a good start. Thanks for the review.
Thanks, thats awesome! Have fun using it, definately a great knife to kick of your slipjoint collection! :)
Very nice video. Well done! I've spent more on Benchmades than I care to think about. I've been on the fence with the Proper, but you've brought up some good points about this knife and I think one will be in my pocket soon.
Dude your camera work is dope!!!
Thanks man! Glad you like it :)
Great review, thank you.
Great review. And I like your Sinn.
Awesome video man ! Thanks for sharing !
Very nice review on your Proper. I also like Benchmade knives and my EDC is the 535 Bugout Knifecenter exclusive.
I Iike your Sinn 104 great choice for a everyday watch, i have 2 Sinn's myself.
Awesome choice, and thanks! I got the Bugout 535 GRY-1. Love the knife, but its not legal to carry where I live. I hope benchmade will expand their line of slipjoint knives in the future. The 319 certainly was a great first try!
Awesome review. I appreciate your style, attention to details that are in line with my own curiosities and you have good video and editing. I sub'd immediately and look forward to learning many other things while watching them. I'm looking forward to being a regular viewer of your channel. I'm recording content to publish on my own channel in the coming months and will likely demonstrate products, restorations and modifications you'll enjoy as well. Wishing you the best!
Love this knife style and the blade shape. Great video.
Great vid! Everything is so clear..
This is an excellent review my friend.
This was an awesome review! I love the chill pace of the video, enjoyable background scenes and the overall aesthetic of your videos! I pulled the trigger and picked up a carbon scaled proper slip join and can't wait to receive it. This is thanks to your review. Do you have any info on where (or if) there are aftermarket replacement screws? I'd love to make this knife my own with updated color options.
I have the fox livri and find both knives similar. I think this blade profile is perfect for EDC. nice watch!
Nice review sir!! Very detailed
Great review! I love slip joint knives.
Slick filming congrats.
thanks man :)
Great video. I commend your good taste in knives...and wristwatch.
Not the best ergonomics and litlle soft steel hardness. But I like it a lot.
I added liners to be a little thicker and I is filling better in the hand.
Maby I will round the corners on the handle in the feature.
yeah ergos are always subjective and could be improved on this one. Sounds like an awesome project though. Personally I like the softness of the steel. Not too soft, easy to resharpen and not prone to chipping. But again, that's just personal preference ;)
great high quality review, i subscribed.
Great review, keep it up man!
thanks man! Appreciate it :)
Thanks for this great review. I subscribed your channel.
Great soundtrack and German/Dutch accent very easy to listen to - just subbed & alerted- regards
An excellent review, i have the proper sheeps foot, and find it to be a great slipjoint knife
What Swiss Army knife is that mate? Beautiful 104 by the way!!
There is one more thing: these slip-joint non - locking and two-hand opening knives are legal to carry in many european countries (that is at least true for Germany according to WaffG § 42a )
Great job!
Thanks! :)
Never really been into slipjoint's but might get it for nyc use considering I'm a huge benchmade fan. Either this or a gec.
Definitely need more detail on that sak!
Stay tuned! :)
That is a cool color
Actually, most of the other modern traditional in the same price range don‘t have those function or fit and finish issues that can be found with the Proper (318 and 319 alike). Therefore, for me it doesn’t offer enough to justify its price. But that‘s just my personal opinion.
Nice watch by the way! Sinn as a wach brand has been a hidden gem for a long time. How accurate do they run? Have you considered the Sinn 556?
I had the clip point version on micarta , the are very beutiful but overpriced in my opinion.
Have you look at many wap? Les than half of the price of the proper , S90V steel with excellent heat treatment.
Digging your Sinn!
Great vid. The handle on the spyderco is made of FRN. A heavy duty plastic. Just for the future.
You are absolutely right! Just looked it up to make sure. Completely missed that. Thanks man!
Great Video, I have owned a proper for about the same amount of time and love it. Having said that I just picked up a LionSteel Thrill, and for the same price it is much better, has an integral frame, better steel, and a much stronger spring.
M390 at 56hrc is not better than s30v at 60hrc
This or the Lionsteel roundhead?
That's a tough one! The Lionsteel is (imo) the better looking and the better performing knife overall. However, I much prefer Benchmades S30V steel over Lionsteels M390. The benchmade is fairly easy to resharpen and in my experience holds an edge better. The edge retention on the M390 is a pain to sharpen. So unless you are really good at sharpening your knives and have a sophisticated sharpening system I'd probably recommend the Proper. Also the Proper can be fully disassembled for cleaning and maintenance, so it might just be the better choice in the long run.
... or you could just get both 😅🤷🏼♂️
Could you do a video on the sak?
Yes, got plans for doing that already. Don't know when exactly, but its coming!
5:04 This is not "adequate slicing" for me if it does not even CUT an Apple.
It is an American design, after all.
big deal, america is not so great you know
Sorry,you know we are the best,every one wants to come to the usa for some reason
@@daddygc5814 you're a moron.
