My favorite knife this year is the Shirogorov Neon R20 I bought from you earlier in the year. That thing just melts in my hand and the action is perfection. Expensive? Yes! But worth it to me.
That Ka-Bar Dozier is a really fantastic EDC choice. I love mine! Not a tacticool folder because it's not fast to deploy but it absolutely vanishes in my pocket until I need it. Probably my favorite in its price range.
Tops Street Scalpel 2 ftw... maybe it's a 2019 design but im giving it an honorable mention. Im former military. 75th Rangers Regiment is all im okay saying on TH-cam but the tops Rangers edge actuwlly looks and feels worthy of it....man so many good blades! About 2 years ago i was in the middle of moving to my grandpas house (20 yearw dead. My dad and uncle kept it wnd paid property tqxes to keep it i guess? But it needed a ton kf work) anyway...moving there im about 60% moved. Just barely got my cats there. I sleep, wake up, drive over. The entire apartment complex burnt down overnight. I lost all my military gear. I lost most of my really epic knife collection. A sig p226 was missing. Fire damsge be damned i wanted it back. Neber found it. Half of my apartment had comolertly collapsed it was 5he top floor and it looked like a bomb dropped. Or exploding zombie attack? I also lost 2 grand in a fireproof safe!.well the safe went missing as my entire walk in closet collapsed and burnes. Anyway...i need to rebuild my collection. I Ironically, my Uncle is a fire fighter, not only that call mom he was the oldest serving fire fighter in the history of my state possibly the history of the entire United States. He is still able tear at 81 years old lift 250 pounds on the bench press, hes getting old but up and tell about 7 years ago he could still do 350 pounds and he would do it every birthday in front of all of his firefighter buddies to show that hes not getting old… he was forced into retirement at I believe 66 or 67 years old and I year before he retired or 2 years before he retired he was in a building that collapsed and he was at the top floor and it was 9 stories he fell through and the news walked up to him live and asked him rotation were you scared? He replied fucks now I'm a fucken fire fighter any rocked away on life TVI thought it was fucken awesome. I apologize about the text I have severe damage in my right hand well my left hand sorry I rheumatoid arthritis and I am using talk to text. So I hope you guys can make sense of this and thank you for reading and I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stays covied free Ovid 19 free Ovid… talk to text is fucken retarded lol
This was an EXCELLENT video DCA! Your taste and eye for nice blades, really shows here. BTW, you are back on point, as you always were in past. Its great to see, because you DO provide great information and explanations to those of us, amateur and experienced people. Have an safe and healthy Holiday, and a prosperous new year.
I have to say...I have a couple rias and they’re phenomenal knives, especially the micarta/rpm9 variant. I have all kinds of expensive spydercos, ferrum, blah blah blah and the ria really holds its own. I never feel like I’m carrying something cheap or “lesser” when I grab that thing.
My favorite knife channel. I live in a really restrictive area, and I appreciate your attention to compliance issues. The only knife I bought recently was a cheap Schrade, and its much nicer than expected. I hope I can afford to indulge a little more someday.
In talking to those I know at Pro Tech, they didn't expect demand like this and production runs from start to finish take some serious time (several months) it is frustrating though if you can't get one because they are incredible knives. They have increased production a lot and there should be frequent and larger orders over this year. I am trying to snag a Ti one.
@@wake777 I could have grabbed one last drop, just wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the extra money. Now that I know I like them.. I would. Pretty good friends with a few smaller shop owners that stock stuff I like.
I love the new Spyderco Rock Jumper. Love the way it feels in hand and love the blade. So far, it appears to be under rated in the knife community, but in use, it is a star.
You really can’t go wrong with Spyderco period..I agree the Rock Jumper is underrated..the Autonomy 2 is underrated as well,it’s my personal favorite side folding auto and that’s saying a lot as I have several Pro-Tech’s,a Microtech LUDT and several from the Kershaw Launch series..the Autonomy 2 was my first knife in LC200N as well which is an absolutely amazing steel,one of my personal favorites
SpyOpera is one I would like to own. Very nice EDC. And the CJRB Ria is also mighty fine. And for a bigger and stronger knife I would like to have the Benchmade Presidio II CF Elite. So cool and nice.
I use a Kershaw Leek, the standard model 1660 stainless steel Ken Onion design with SpeedSafe as my EDC and it's an amazing knife. The tip broke after nearly a year, but still works nearly just as good and I highly recommend it.
I just started getting Cold Steel folders and I didn't know what I was missing. Love the SV35VN models and the Aus10A is so easy to sharpen that anyone who has one and its not razor sharp should give to someone who will appreciate it. Cold Steel knives are very nice for the money you don't have to spend a ton of money to get very nice knives.
I just go my small archaeo two days ago and I love it, flipping is harder than I expexted but the detent keeps the blade pretty secure and having a great looking, non locking flipper is pretty much all I could ask for in a country with draconian knife laws.
Have you ever done a video on blade shapes with the pros and cons of each, what tasks they are best suited to and how to use them? For instance I don’t really like tantos but this may because I’m not too sure how they perform. I feel I’m missing a trick as there are loads about.
So glad you made this YOUR list rather than just what SKUs knife centre sold the most units of. Really nice little run down and good to remember some of the outstanding offerings from this year 👍 Excellent video as always, much respect 👊👊👊
None of the premium USA made Kershaw’s made the list??that’s just crazy to me considering the materials you get at such a low price..the Link in anodized aluminum scales with M390 or 20CV blade go for $70-$80..the Leek in copper scales with a CPM-154 blade comes in around $100..the Bareknuckle in anodized aluminum scales and a 20CV blade on KVT ball bearings goes for $100-$110..a Benchmade in these materials is $200+..you just can’t beat the USA made Kershaw’s for the price..I’m a huge fan of the USA made Kershaw knives.these knives played a major role in getting me into collecting knives in premium blade steels..I just started collecting knives a couple years ago.before then $50-$70 was my price limit.before I started collecting I would buy a new knife every 2 or 3 years.I lost my old RAT 2 and was at Lowe’s one day buying some drill bits for work and happened to be right by their tiny knife section so I ended up buying a SOG Flash 2 for $70.I absolutely hated that knife and was mad at myself for spending $70 on such a horrible knife to replace the great budget friendly RAT 2 that was half the price of that horrible Flash 2..after screwing myself buying that SOG,I decided to do a little research so I would get something I would be satisfied with,even if that meant going over that $70 price tag(which I thought was expensive at the time).I started reading about the “super steels” on BladeForums and noticed a lot of people raving about how amazing M390 is.then I started looking at knives in M390 and I was blown away by the high prices.I started to give up on M390 because I wasn’t ready to spend over $100 and most were coming in well over that.thats when I stumbled across the M390 Kershaw Link for just $70.I thought it was a decent looking knife,I liked it was a flipper and most importantly,it had the M390 blade steel.I bought it and absolutely fell in love..these days I have went well over that $70.I have lot of nice Spyderco,Benchmade,Hogue,Microtech,etc but that M390 Link I bought a few years ago still gets a lot of pocket time,even more so than knives that costed 3 or 4 times as much..as a matter of fact,that M390 Link is in my pocket as I type this massive novel of a comment..lol
Top 3 for me were the MTNT (mach 3), SpyOpera, and Waypoint. Honorable mention to that pakkawood Ria and the GTX-025. I bought way too many knives this year.
Awesome video. Half of everything I know about knives I learned from you DCA! The Artisan Cutlery small Archeo is a beautifully shaped and very well built little knife, but if the blade don't lock I take a walk. Non locking slip joints aren't knives, they're hand injury machines, and you should never have to carry a knife with a locking pin hanging from it. Ended up going with the liner lock version and love it. One of the best and most useful small folders you can buy for the price.
The pakkawood Ria... I like it... as you were showing it off... thoughts of one with a Chad Nichols damascus blade were running through my head.... if only......
I buy knives from this website. I didn't realize they had a TH-cam channel. CRKT and Buck in general are my favorite brands - I like Kershaw and Schrade too.
Thanks for giving some love to the Artisan/Cjrb family. Great knives for the value. Didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I own 13 of them. Like I said, great knives
My 2 favorites for 2020: 1) the JL WE Black Void Opus in black-on-black (got mine from KnifeCenter); 2) Michael Zieba MKM Flame in all Ti, like the original MS3 (on my Christmas list).
David, I agree with your selections of the best of 2020, but in my opinion, is really a surprise that you don't mention any CIVIVI, taking in the fact that CIVIVI is the brand of the year, even you said that in many of tour videos, very nice video, as always you are a very good TH-camr, I love your job. Send my regards to you from Mexico, and excuse me for my English.
No Bugout Mini? I know the handle is a three fingered grip for a lot of people, and the flexi-plastic doesn't help the feel, but seriously. This knife completely disappears in your pocket, particularly for summer carry in shorts or dress pants.
Victorinox has some competition from another Swiss company not as well known. Recently I bought three different Swiza Swiss made knives from KnifeCenter. How do you think they compare to Victorinox Swiss Army knives? I have tried both and tend to like Swiza better over Victorinox. They provide a higher quality finish both inside and out. They have expanded the models available too since they started making them.
Glad that I have plenty of Cold Steel knives.. I've stuck an SR1 into a tree and used it as a step. Brutally built monster of a knife. Good luck to them but I don't have warm and fuzzy feelings about the sale...buy what you want before the transition.
My favorite recent purchase is a Benchmade AFOII with the uncoated tanto blade. Unfortunately it has been discontinued along with most styles of the AFOII.
Second? For small knives I love my mkm isonzo. Its so much fun to fidget with and the micarta handle and sheepsfoot blade are almost always in my pocket
I was thinking of buying the Mora Garberg for about $100. Might as well spend just a few more bucks for a beautiful L.T. Wright with real wood & real leather sheathe.
Better buy your Cold Steels while they're still made of good materials. I'm not saying that the sale of the company guarantees that the quality is going to suffer, that's just how it usually goes.
37:45 can you touch on how to oil or care for Esee blades that prevents rusting? I love to carry an Esee 3 at 5 o’clock, but it is so humid Florida, sweat, rain etc… the blade and logo rust, but I love their knives. Thanks!!!
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Personal or not top lists are always difficult to have 100% of people agree But for me it is always interesting to see the opinion from others specially mister David :) My pref in these top 20 is the BK 18 but ... please mister Ka-Bar use other material handles ! G10 or (my pref) micarta. I am not super happy to buy some after and with horrible cost (specially when you are outside USA like me and you import ... (real example for me with handles and sheat for my Esee PR-4 from TKC ;)) David, see ? I think the 100K followers in TH-cam is coming very very soon (99.7 now so no problem to end 2020 with what you asked ! :)
Dave I just bought a CIVIVI Praxis, Out of the box this knife is not very responsive. The flipper just doesn't flip out the blade fast enough for me, sometimes it won't open fully, Is there anything I can do to adjust this knife or do I need to send it back and get another one?
That viper is sweeeet but I'm so sorry they have to get rid of the billboarding on the blade, it's not subtle it's quite ugly 😒 shame for such a beautiful knife overall. Looks very nice for EDC and extremely classy 😌👌
Hey David!! Could you do a video on knives that are just fun and easy to flick open and closed. I need something to get my dad for Christmas. He has a fidget spinner he uses all the time watching TV. I think he would like a cool knife to play with. Also he is pretty old so more classy than tactical. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi ! What is the best edc knife for $100 on your opinion? I really like your reviews of knives, and if you can give me recommendations of knife that is $100 worth. I’ll go and buy it. Right now I have a spyderco delica 4 and 110 buck knife. Thank you!
Hi David! Hope hope you guys are great! For the first argument I must disagree! Instead of the Dozier I would recommend the Banter any day. This knife has an S30v blade and is practical,you simply can't go wrong.
Honored to be part of David's list 👊
CRKT is one of my favorite knife brands.

Check out Opinel! Very budget friendly and multiple blade length options. Not to mention no collection is complete without one!
Hogue Deka will be my next knife. Benchmade Presidio II looks great too.
Every knife store channel: "Protech Malibu is the best!" Also Every Knife store channel: "We have no idea when we will have Protech Malibus"

Knife center are really becoming my favourite blade videos on TH-cam, so much information
Almost there Mr. Anderson. We're almost in the matrix.
my 3 favs are the civivi appalachian drifter, artisan cutlery double detent archaeo and the lionsteel thrill
I’ve been carrying a Benchmade Presidio for several months and strongly agree with Dave’’s assessment
SpyOpera is one I would like to own. Very nice EDC. And the CJRB Ria is also mighty fine. And for a bigger and stronger knife I would like to have the Benchmade Presidio II CF Elite. So cool and nice.

pronghorn is amazing cannot beat that price yes love the show
That Protect Malibu is a knockout. Beautifully appointed and as clean as it gets.
I'm in Canada and I literally just bought the CJRB Ria knife center special because of this review.
Enjoy it my northern brethren! -DCA
The Quantum is amazing on so many levels. I would rather have ONE Shiro over 3-4 Benchmades.
Glad that I have plenty of Cold Steel knives.. I've stuck an SR1 into a tree and used it as a step. Brutally built monster of a knife. Good luck to them but I don't have warm and fuzzy feelings about the sale...buy what you want before the transition.
SR1 FTW
I have one of each blade shape, but none of the light versions.
My fav knife is the gerber fastball
I think the Ria feels right with the milled pocket clip because it reminds you of the Mnandi. Similar size and shape.
I’m really hoping that you do one of these videos for 2021! Looking forward to seeing your picks
In the works ;) -DCA
My favorite recent purchase is a Benchmade AFOII with the uncoated tanto blade. Unfortunately it has been discontinued along with most styles of the AFOII.
The Malibu hasn’t been in stock all year for the rest of us. Show-off 😉
DCA makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks fella. Thanks KnifeCenter.
I swore I saw the R Lee Gunny knife on the table. Would love to see more about that bad boy.
The R Lee Gunny Ka Bar is absolutely amazing
Second?
For small knives I love my mkm isonzo. Its so much fun to fidget with and the micarta handle and sheepsfoot blade are almost always in my pocket
Hmm...I must research this one. Hadnt heard of it. Sounds right up my alley!
@@conductorcammon I dont really like small knives but the isonzo just works really well so i usually take it with me
Really appreciate that you chapter these videos mate. Nice
My favorite is the cold steel air lite tanto
Almost there David! 100k on the way!
The full size Presidio II is definitely on the wish list.
I was thinking of buying the Mora Garberg for about $100. Might as well spend just a few more bucks for a beautiful L.T. Wright with real wood & real leather sheathe.
That lion steel pocket clip is absolutely genius
The Lion Steel pocket clip is something all knife companies should learn from.
To each their own, but I don't care for it
Artisan Cutlery Small Archaeo, exaclty that one in your video is what caught, together with the CJRB Ria
Great video Dave! Thanks KnifeCenter.
I have the Overland and really would carry it more if it was a full flat grind.
Awesome, love at first flick. Loving it
Must. Have. Archaeo
Dozier D2 is just perfect
Benchmade Foray 698 - CPM 20 CV - G10.
I bought this after 2 years of study.
Very Tough & very Handsome! My EDC!
Sgt. Dan USMC
Solid list there David. Enjoyed!
Good selections and explanations. Nice job.
A puukko! Sub $100! Around 3 inch blade! LT Wright! Is it too much to ask to have a lefty friendly sheath? Yes. Yes, it is.
I'm going with the Spyderco Canis. Great edc blade.
That Malibu is on my list to get next
Waiting on my blue malibu!!! Seems to be amazing! After this video I definitely need another Italian knife in my life! N+1
Spyderco Endura Emerson and street scalpel...that kershaw has instantly peaked my interest
So far it's probably my Bradford guardian 3 but when my we beacon come in that might change
absolute love this presenter - thank you so much for your info!
he speaks so clearly about each knife. the man is succinct. hes great.
Better buy your Cold Steels while they're still made of good materials. I'm not saying that the sale of the company guarantees that the quality is going to suffer, that's just how it usually goes.
As long as Thompson and Demko are there i don't think so.
To Victorinox: Cadet X next, please-minus file, plus scissors.

Personal or not top lists are always difficult to have 100% of people agree
But for me it is always interesting to see the opinion from others specially mister David :)
My pref in these top 20 is the BK 18 but ... please mister Ka-Bar use other material handles ! G10 or (my pref) micarta. I am not super happy to buy some after and with horrible cost (specially when you are outside USA like me and you import ... (real example for me with handles and sheat for my Esee PR-4 from TKC ;))
David, see ? I think the 100K followers in TH-cam is coming very very soon (99.7 now so no problem to end 2020 with what you asked ! :)

Looked like the dozier already had a ding in the edge
I don't go looking for it but I've not seen better lighting and video resolution than here anywhere.
Closing in on 100K. Congrats!
That viper is sweeeet but I'm so sorry they have to get rid of the billboarding on the blade, it's not subtle it's quite ugly 😒 shame for such a beautiful knife overall. Looks very nice for EDC and extremely classy 😌👌
Hey David!! Could you do a video on knives that are just fun and easy to flick open and closed. I need something to get my dad for Christmas. He has a fidget spinner he uses all the time watching TV. I think he would like a cool knife to play with. Also he is pretty old so more classy than tactical. Thanks for any suggestions.

Please do a video on the best American made knives (fixed and folders).
Hi ! What is the best edc knife for $100 on your opinion? I really like your reviews of knives, and if you can give me recommendations of knife that is $100 worth. I’ll go and buy it. Right now I have a spyderco delica 4 and 110 buck knife. Thank you!
Hi David! Hope hope you guys are great! For the first argument I must disagree! Instead of the Dozier I would recommend the Banter any day. This knife has an S30v blade and is practical,you simply can't go wrong.
Sweei Lionsteel ! Love the new ESEE too! Thank You!
Hope you do video on best steel again with latest updates
Does anyone know of a larger version of the Overland? By any maker under $150ish.
Deka for the win.
