I'm trying out some law of attraction b.s. I'm gonna win a cool knife from you in the near future. I will treasure it, and it will pass down my family line, Thanks in advance Sir!
I also didn’t like Spyderco knives at first, but now they are my favorite brand.
Spyderco is the truth.
Yup. Spyderco has been winning me over with their persistent priority on cutting performance.
Thought they were some of the ugliest knives when I first seen them but now I love how they look and function
I always thought they had an interesting aesthetic as opposed to a lot of people who just think they’re ugly, but as soon as I got one they became my favorite as well. Very unique and great users
I’m Loking at getting my first one as well just can’t decide which one.
It's a great list. All heavy hitters and no fillers. Excellent production value, as well.
The fact that you carry the rockstead knife and use it is why I love your channel.
If I ever have the chance to own a Rockstead folder I will absolutely use it; all of the work they put into those knives can’t be properly appreciated without use. I’m really happy to see your Rockstead used as intended. Ferrari’s are meant to be driven after all. One day I’ll get my hands on one; and it will absolutely have the stingray inserts!
I just got the 10V REC Exclusive “Scorpion” Para 3. I knew it was an EDC must have and wanted an interesting one with good edge retention, but I wanted something different than Maxamet. I visited the page on REC a few times while it was in stock, but decided to let it go. I regretted it immediately after and found someone selling theirs on the secondary. Glad I took my second chance. The hype is real
I love my CJRB Pyrite! It’s in my pocket all the time!
Base Shaman is $252 now. I got one during the recent Spyderco sale, and I do love it. Probably my favorite Spyderco design.
I’m waiting for a sale to pick one up but at 250 that’s a hard bargain. I have a native 5 that I love and they just released the bodacious which looks very similar to the shaman.
@kraken9883 The bodacious is full flat grind, but it has more meat behind the blade. Honestly I think the Shaman is better than the PM2 because of the geometry, and that knife has a similar thing going.
Bladehq $252 @@PS987654321PS
It's crazy to me that it's that expensive now. I bought my first Shaman BNIB on the secondary market for $100 flat. Standard black handles/S30V, but still. Hard to even look at the price of my beloved Spyderco now 😭
@@knivesinedc Now it's $270.
I just picked up a Shaman in 15V. It's an absolute beast. I also have one in 204P that I did a skinny mod on. Great design
yes it's the para3 lightweight for me can't keep that thing outta my pocket love it hardly know it's in there but always there when i need it great knife .
I love the PM3, mines in black cpm cru wear with flytanium copper scales.
We really have the same taste, looking forward for your advice for suture spending, cheers
I carried a Benchmade 710 for many years before adding a few other knives to the rotation. I mostly carry a ZT 562 now and occasionally a Microtech LUDT.
I’ve never thought the Spyderco knives were ugly but that’s because I started using them when I was 10 and back then everything was bad ass! I will have to say my top knives in the coming months will 100 percent be Titanium Atom, Demko AD20.5 textured Ti, and one of my many variations of the Pyrite. I won’t have the Winterblade Factor B3 until December but once I get that it will definitely see a lot of pocket time
My Ruike p-155B is my go to knife out of about 150 blades in my collection. I just love the looks and ergonomics.
My #1 used to be my PM3 but I've been carrying my AD20.5 90% of the time...its just such a good knife
And due to your praise of that RECON-035, I purchased a RECON-040 in drop point and it’s always on me (I tend to carry more than one knife at a time.
I have a Colonial Ranger three blade pocketknife as my EDC, I bought it at an antique store for ten dollars. I also have a Buck lock blade pocketknife I carry occasionally.
I'll try to drop my top ten here:
1. Arcane Crawler
2. SBD Apex
3. Varga Blades VBR MKIII
4. EMPEDC Nymble W
5. Jake Hoback Sumo
6. Kunwu S-Tao
7. AD20 in full Ti
8. Chapman Lake Knives CLK-2D
9. Arno Bernard iMamba
10. WE Ziffius
I used to be die hard benchmade until I ordered my first spyderco a few months ago, smkw exclusive pm2 with fat carbon lava flow scales and a cpm m4 blade, thing was lazer sharp out of the box and after some hard abuse is still just as sharp. Although me carrying a bunch of stuff in my pockets and it being kinda bulky I opted for a pm3 which is now on the way because of this video Hope I like mine as much as you do yours!👍🏼
I felt the same way about Spyderco,now I fully dig em
Thanks MC great video! Would love to see how this lineup actually progresses say in 6 month's time?
I said the PM2 and Para3 were the stupidest looking knives I'd ever seen. Now I'm a Spyderco fan boy. I have a Crucarta PM2 and a Paul Munko PM2 on order, AND a PM3 LW in S90V that I'm planning on dressing up with AWT scales.
Nice! Paul Munko is the man.
Everyone says they're ugly till they handle one
I said I don't think I'd ever buy one to! Now that's my main buying brand!
I like the Spyderco PM2 ( I have two of them 1 in s45vn the other is in s110v ) and the only other knife I would carry over it would be the Gerber 06 Automatic. The 06 Auto is built like a Panzer. You can pry with it, chop with it, I’ve even done some Batoning with mine when I camp and you get decent steel ( S30V )
@@RileyCoyoteI like the sinister look of Spydercos, and the blade shape every since I first saw them .
I haven't been in the community super long, but here are mine according to my memory:
10: Monteray Bay Knives Old Guard
9: Kunwu Pulsar
8: Spyderco Delica
7: Chris Reeve Large Inkosi
6: Spartan Harsey 3.25 inch (I think it might be the one you reviewed, I bought it from nick shabazz and iirc he got it from you, might be wrong on that one)
5: QSP Penguin Plus
4: Spyderco Smock
3: Spartan Harsey Fullsize
2: Spyderco Manix 2
1: Benchmade mini bugout
Not such a Microtech fan, I've had five or six ( lubed ) different, new, knives derail / not want to deploy or retract. I like the pm2( camo ), I like the shaman, I LOVE the S90 / carbon fiber Yojumbo!
Nice Vid, Solid lineup, and recomendations!
Interesting vid. I like some of your choices. Others not so much. My top 5:
1) Spyderco Endura 4 in solid stainless - been carrying for decades. Can easily and quickly 1-hand operate despite spine lock.
2) CRKT Ruger Hollow Point +P - Ken Onion design does not fail. Got for $7 clearance at WalMart! Easily a $100 knife if sold elsewhere.
3) Paragon Warlock (black on black, sorcerer grind) - So fun, so sharp, so sexy. Must be kept lubricated at all times, but amazing knife.
4) Pocket Chete by Joerg Sprave/Boker. I only wear this while camping/out in the country, because I wear it unfolded. I got #75 out of 5000 made, limited edition (jealous yet?) Still carry it.
5) Cold Steel Recon Tanto, 1993 edition. You cant kill this knife. I have tried.... and I still have 70 years on my 100 year warranty. Not folding at all, still often carried.
my top 10, which I use for work, my grunt knives and what I trust to beat up on
In no particular order and not counting my Gentlemens knives
Buck 110
Spyderco Centofante 3
ZT 0562 both CF TI version
Tops MSF 4.0 folder
Milwaukee Fastback - as long as utilities knives count
Blur - my opinion has the most comfortable thumb studs of all knives.
Benchmade 761
PM 2
ZT 0566
Demko AD 20.5
Love seeing content like this. Will never get tired of watching it, even if you redid it each week
My PM3 lite in dark blue other than my fixed blades is my favorite EDC. folder Knife.
I really love my 3 sub 3" fixed blades.
The three fixies carry in this order.
1. ESSE Izula in s35vn with custom scales from Knife Connection
2. ESEE Xancudo
3. Spyderco Enuf.
100% agree about the shaman. I know it has its detractors but the shaman and the OG millie set the ergonomic standard for me…
Hey MC I just ordered my first OTF knife! ULTRATECH IN FULL DLC tactical half full serrated half SE!!!
Man I love this channel. I have a lot of knives but it’s always a spyderco in my pocket. Not a fanboy or any brand I’m a fan of knives. Out of all my knives a spyderco tends to hit the pocket the most. My pm2 has been the main for 4 years. It’s not my favorite to say, but it’s the one I would want to be stuck with if any.
I want a Factor so bad! Love my Atom, but you have to try a TRM Shadow as well! Amazing
I'm not a Spyderco fan? I've tried to like them had quite a few over the years! I've got a fairly large knife collection (50-60) my most carried knife is my original green scale 940 I've had it over 10 years and it just such a joy to carry love it!
Thanks for sharing bud!👊🏻Spyderco was always a hideous knife to me but I got drunk from the heat treat and performance of it when I tried it and now they have became that perfect 10 to me😂
I'm waiting for Spyderco Native 5 Salt in Magnacut to get back in stock at my local retailer. cant wait to get one.
Respect! A knife gut that uses them.
Have you had any issues with the PM3 Maxamet with the Detent ball?
I’ve had mine just about a year & sent it in once to get it fixed…it’s getting loose again. I use it but not heavily. I’ve used my Endura s30v more often. Thoughts?
Ive owned all 3 of the spidercos shown, the shaman is the only one ive kept. Just cant get used to that lump on the spine. The ritter however I have to say is a go to.
Hi @metal_complex, very fun video! Speaking of most carried EDC, what‘s your 2023 opinion on the Spyderco Kapara? I love it much more than the PM2 because it‘s so hand-meltingly smooth, perfect size & ergonomy to me 🥰
It's an awesome knife. Wish the price wasn't so high. Still better than the Shaman!
@@metal_complex Thanks a lot! 🤗
Hey MC. I really like these top ten style videos. Any chance of you doing an updated top ten zombie apocalypse knives? Those are a lot of fun.
Veryt Funny Today was my AHA day with the PM2... I had a Factiry scale on it and hated it... but then I got th Flytanium Scales in Brass and and I LOVE IT!!
Triple thwap 24/30
PS how do you feel about the ad20.5 in s35vn/g10 at the pricepoint its at (250)?
This was A Good one MC!
I can't believe you made the $1500 Rockstead a daily carry! I love it! I am of the same opinion though. If I'm going to pay a crazy amount for a pocket knife, it HAS to be able to stand up to daily use no matter how nice it looks.
Rockstead is my favourite brand, I haven’t seen your review of the Ren. Did I miss it? Is it delayed? Thanks!
I swap between my pm2, para3, manix lw, and pacific 2 for ocean and fishing activities. I've loved the look of spyderco since I was a little kid. Never understood why people call them ugly but everyone has their own taste. Also carry either and izual or a cr2.5 as a fixed blade and either the skeletool or wave for a multi tool. Never go anywhere with out those three.
Same here. My father was a commercial diver, so Spyderco was always ìn the household.
XM-18 is the best on that list. I love carrying my Eklipse 👍
Endura 4 is a good dependable tool saber or flat grind for me
Hi, your videos are very informative. But being new to the knife craze, I wish you would do three things on every knife: blade length, overall length, and length closed. That would help me so much because I look at these knives. I think they’re fantastic but I’m looking for a certain size and then I have to do a lot of research to find it and……. I find some of the sites don’t even list that stuff but I’m sure you know you know it…. Thanks!
I tend to carry benchmade because I’m a lefty, I do have a couple lefty spyderco’s in enjoy and some hogue, one microtech, who can go wrong haha
Love Spyderco knives🤤
Great video!!
Yay! The Rockstead showed up!
Spyderco PM2 was my first nice knife i loved it instantly. Everytime I try out someone else's knife im always underwhelmd even if its been a "nicer"/more expensive knife. If its a folder I need to be able to spydie flick it and have a compression lock for me personally. I know ill get a Military 2 one day though when they start doing sprint runs and theres a interesting steel option I like. Held a PM3 and it was nice but i love the full sized handel on the PM2 no benefit of PM3 in my eyes besides if you have bad laws where you live.
Brah, the Shaman on Blade HQ as of today July 23, 2023, is,... wait for it,... $252. Yeah,... great knife, but when the base S45VN PM2 is $185, Spyderco's got some Spydersplaining to do.
para 3 is an absolute gem. hard to blame you for carrying it the most
Im surprised no Kizers have made it on your list. I love mine. Seems very well made.
Mr Complex, got some gems on here! Wish I could appreciate a mirror polish, I really do 🤷♂️ Just got my first PM2 - the recent BHQ s90v version was cheaper than the OG? Couldn’t resist. Looking at my first OTF…hard to resist Microtech but there are so many options now…. Prefer full size. Recommendation?
Let me rephrase…if there will only be one (for now) is it worth getting the Ultratech for the experience (it’s the legend) or the guardian tactical which may be better?
Hey MC, long time viewer and first time commenter. I’m wondering what’s a good Shaman alternative for a lefty?
TOP 10....EVER
well played
You beat me to it. I want to buy a rockstead only to use it. I'm currently doing that with my Spyderco Paysan.
My daily that lives in my pocket is my benchmade 940. Occasionally switching out to the Para 3.
I’m a firearms lover…. Which branched into everyday carry knives. I have a PM2 (and many other good knives)… while the Spyderco is nice. An extremely surprising knife for me is the Kizer Original titanium with s35vn steel. The button lock/scales/smoothness for the price is unbelievable; the clip is perfect and it fits perfectly in the pocket.
Sad to say… American companies take note.
Edit: my everyday CC is a CZ PCR…. No glock for me. All personal preferences of course.
I am also a Kizer fan. Almost every single one of their under $200 knives is every bit as good as most $400 (+) knives, i.e. extremely good. They are, due to their price, much more common than more costly semi-custom knives, but IMHO, they’re about as good.
Sorry, I don't get the AD20.5. Its interesting because the lock is different, but cutting geometry, build quality, ergonomics are all lacking. I agree on the XM-18, tough and excellent build quality though as often as not I'll opt for the ZT562 just because I have so many. Going to have to check out the Recon35 as an alternative to my Ultratech.
How much go these ZT0392s for? I have an unused 392bwbrz at home 😅 on ebay right now there are ...none.
Very nice.
Lots of good knives out there ... that being said (I am in my mid 60s and lived in all conditions) If a person can only get or carry 1 knife for everything ... I honestly would go with a Buck 110 ... always good to have a little Victorinox Classic in your pocket > I actually saved a person's life with one back in 94
The houge Ex01 people say it's the strongest on the market, what's everyone's thoughts on that that owns one thxs
HELP! so I’m new to collecting knifes and my only knife so far is a bugout with titanium scales. What knife should a buy next? 200$ budget, could go over by 30$ or so buy I’d rather not
10:11 after 41/2 yrs I got a XM 18 3.5 non-flipper slicer. 🎉 if I would taken a breath I would’ve seen that they had “the one” battle blk blade and frame with blk/blue g-10. Oh well. I GOT ONE!!!
You a need to do a list for the knives you fidget with most around the house. Also when you're done with a video do you head upstairs immediately or do you wait around and play with knives in your little sanctum sanctorum?😁😁😂😂
Spyderco Centofante. And Spyderco Starmate (440v original) Thanks. toronto canada
140?. You def got me beat, Nicely done.
The AD20.5 has become my favorite knife of all time, especially after putting August Engineering chevron textured aluminum scales on it. I carry 2 knives on me every day and only one of them gets swapped out because I just refuse to take my 20.5 out of my pockets. Exceptional in every way. Getting a PM2 from my Girlfriend for my birthday so maybe they’ll both make near permanent spots in my EDC!
Nice to see a Herman pop up on there!
I have a collection of similar size (over 100) and I'm not ashamed to admit that several of my knives cost well over a thousand dollars and I carry & use the hell out of them!! Though, all of my knives still have their tips lol! 😂
For my edc use*, I've not found one that isn't a button lock warncliff, with a reverse flick.
Ease of deployment? Check
Ease of use, for my use? Check
Ease of blade away, back into pocket? Check.
I still want to try the Demco.
* my edc use-
One handed out of pocket deployment.
Do the task. Most any knife, ehhhhhh not really, but, right?
One handed close and back into pocket(while my other hand is still doing the thing).
Smock
Pyrite
Conspirator
Yard carry- zt0350 (yes, you can baton with it). Which is different than work carry because I'm less focused on economy of motion and safety (I'm in my yard alone typically).
Good to see you treated the rockstead the way it was meant to treated 👍 They weren't meant to be put in a safe lol
I mean I won't judge anyone who does that. It's their money so the end function is entirely up to the buyer
That was fun Knife Guy.
I don't like knives with holes in the blades. So yes, I have no Spiderco knives. I dislike my only Benchmade knife and rarely use my only Zero Tolerance knife. My EDC is a Kizer Clutch. It's not a popular model and I don't understand why not. I have a Kizer Deviant ordered because I like the copper bolster and the Sheepfoot M390 blade. If the workmanship is as good as the Clutch, it will likely become my EDC. My price limit for ANY knife is $200. There are many excellent quality knives under $200. In fact Ganzo makes incredible budget knives. I have bought three of them. My second most favorite knife is a Twoson. Twosun knives are underrated.
zt 0900 love les
I put button head screws on my ultra techs in place of the glass breaker
Are there some very good folding knives from Germany?
Does anyone have the same bladeplay issue on the Para 3? I dont know what to do but it drives me nuts.
How do you feel about the Spyderco Delica? I just bought one and I’m concerned it won’t hold up to minor abuse? Who know we shall see!!
My first knives were the spyderco delico and police. Had em for years. Hated 'em. Still dislike Spydercos. For work I carried a lot of fixed blades and if I used 'em, I'd leave them at the site. I talked to Todd Begg and together we worked out what would be the perfect work knife. After retiring in 2008, I still carry it.
Where did you get that para 3 pocket clip?
Man I’m watching this dude show me all these awesome knives and all I’m buying is a svord mini peasant knife and a victorinox huntsman
U may fall head of heels in love with the new ram lock it surpasses any lock to date it's awesome
@metal_complex if you wanted to get into an OTF on a limited budget, not knowing if you'll like them, what would be your recommended model? Ultratech? or something else
Did he say the ultratech was in cpm 20cv? Never heard of microtech using 20cv
M390* - I get them mixed up because they're all essentially the same thing
I have about 6 benchmade knives and I always go to the contego. I know probably nobody carries this but for me its the knife I always carry and for some reason when I carry my other knives I immediately go back to the contego. I really dont know why.
1.Benchmade Mini Barrage 154cm
2.Benchmade Autostryker 154cm
3.spyderco mannix s110v
4.Benchmade valet m390
5.Benchmade hunt s30v
6.Chaves redencion street
7.Microtech utx85
8.Chaves Liberation street
9.Heretic auto medusa
10.Medford praetorian ti S45vn
I've owned the top 5 for a decade or 2 decades. They are worn from being sharpened so many times. The bottom 5 are 5 or less years old. Have a feeling I'm not going to have the same top ten in the same order over the next decade.
No super freak? I was a knife collector then I got a super freak now nothing else ever sees my pocket
@@indica_daze my wishlist is pretty long and that is among my wish list. I just don't have one yet. So far for me, Benchmade Autostryker, Chaves redencion street, Chaves liberation street, heretic medusa, and Kaiser gti have been the best fit for me. Chaves redencion street is my absolute favorite. For me, it beats my more expensive knives like Medford praetorian ti, Chris Reeve sebenza, microtech stitch.
I need a shaman lightweight!
I feel like we have fairy different taste in knives - but I also have a bunch of nice knives and once I got my Para 3 lightweight it quickly became my most carried knife. Says a lot about how good the Para 3 is when several knife nerds carry it over so many other great knives. Considering the Tactile Maverick for my next knife and that might knock the Para 3 out of the top spot. Nice carry list! Cheers!
I would have you had you for a PM2 over a PM3 for size
For me it's Spyderco for folder's and Blackjack and S.O.G for fixed blade's
I carry the para 3 every day. I’m waiting for a s90v warncliffe version.
I’ve got an s110v with a chip in the blade that could almost be considered a wharny! Lol
