I bought my Rike 1902 with little hesitation after I saw it in one of your videos. That was the first knife I spent over 200€ and it showed. Such a wonderful design.
The Rike 1902 is my go-to house knife. Its the only one in my collection that gets that "It looks aggressive" response from casual people, while they are eyeing it up close from a few inches away. I absolutely love it.
My blue 1902 is one of my favorite knives. I've had my Protech TR3 for several years now and it's a nice piece. I also love my WE Kitefin. Really like that WE Snex also. Hopefully I can add it to my collection soon.
I just bought a zt 0562cf, anodized the lock side, bought bronze ano hardware and added a black micarta scale from SDK. Next is the bronze pivot, timascus lbs and skiff bearings to finish it up.
Damn man, that protech feature reignited by search for that knife. I saw the MagnaCut one in stock ONCE, as well as the X1-M version. Both were last seen on July 7th of 2021, and were never seen in stock again since
Just managed to grab this on bladehq, if i had to giess it was not a restock, prob a layaway that somone decided they didnt want, there was only 1 available. Looking forward to it getting to me, never would have knew avout ot without you, thank you!!
I wonder how durable the Rockstead ZDP-189 blade is, when the knife falls on concrete with the tip forwards? A realistic scenario in an urban environment. I worked with steel above 65 HRC on a lathe and they behave almost like glass, they can shatter if they fall to a concrete ground.
My next knife is either going to be the Benchmade Shootout or the Benchmade bugout 535-3 with the carbon fiber handle. Been trying to make a decision for the past week lol I pretty much do this with everything I buy 🤷♂️
It's crazy how often dlt stocks medfords, given they said they would stop ordering them after greg's blade east controversy. Either they have a metaphorical ton of them backordered (could be a literal ton with medford's design language haha), or they figured nobody would notice or care.
Tactile was saying they will be increasing their heat treat to 63-64 soon apparently. So might want to wait for a bit if you are thinking about that one
Anyone know if the civivi brazen tanto is good or not? Its like perfect for my price range and it's the prettiest pocket knife in my price range I've ever seen and I plan to buy it but it seems kinda cheap for how it seems
Question for you , I just started collecting nothing fancy, mainly cheaper ones, but I wanted to know were would be a good place to purchase tools, bits, keys, etc to help take the knives apart to clean, maintain, or tighten. Nothing special just something to help keep them tip top lol
seems like your comment section bought out all the 1902s on the market, but completely ignored the war junkie citadel that you thought would be gone quick. lol.
Great video/content I want another ad20.5 but i am low on funds,it is still enjoyable to daydream. Thanks for all the hard work/effort you put into the channel and sharing that with the EDC community.
On the fence between grabbing the Kunwu Zen and the Rike 1902. Only the red carbon fiber is in stock for the Rike, which makes the color scheme a bit busy, in my opinion, but I dislike that the timascus pivot collar is only on one side of the Zen. Do you have a particular preference for one of these knives over the other? I'm kinda halfway between both of them (and the MaxAce Black Mirror, but that's not in stock right now, so it's out of consideration for the moment).
When i click on the link for Rike1902 it doesn't find anything. Maybe it is because i am from Italy. However i tried to find it somewhere else but i could only find the red one that could be shipped to Italy. Do you know how often this knive gets back in stock?
Can still recommend or like the knives without promoting the guy himself...I may not like or agree with everything about the dude. But I didn't let that stop me from getting a Proxima & a Smooth Criminal

This TH-cam channel needs a warning....warning if you watch this it may cost you money 😂😂 thanks for the great content man
I like that the groove on top goes down to the end of the blade.
Just picked up a blue CF Rike. Took a bit to find one in blue
Just got the red 1902. I love it.
I got a 1902, it is my grail knife I love it.
Complex is so fun, entertaining,and metal complex is informative and as always a positive attitude. 👍
I got the red 1902, such a classic design.

I just picked up that rockstead last week, absolutely love it , was super excited when I saw they were finally in stock!
BHQ has a "coming soon" vision r with a righthanded pocket clip
Holy shit
Every time I see that Rockstead I like it more and more. Won't be buying it, but it looks good. They all do!
I wish the link for the Rike worked. That's something I would really spend money on.
That 187 knife is beautiful!
I just bought the citadel. Used your link.
Damn man, that protech feature reignited by search for that knife. I saw the MagnaCut one in stock ONCE, as well as the X1-M version. Both were last seen on July 7th of 2021, and were never seen in stock again since
Out of all those knives the Rike appeals to me the most.
Mcnees make a badass auto if you want an upgrade to the protech and US made
Damn sold out at Blade hq for the Rike. I don't even know why I look after you show something
They made a rockwall with flipper that was 20cv. I haven’t seen anymore made since
My edc atm is the rubato 3 it’s very good
Thanks to Knife rights I will legally be able to carry an auto come January! So excited to extend my knife collection
What kind of auto are you getting
@@bradjack7734 I have a few in mind houge Balista, protec runt for the wife! And microtech otf not sure what model I like more though
Blade HQ did that with the Maxace Black Mirror, I got popular and they jacked up the price
Just managed to grab this on bladehq, if i had to giess it was not a restock, prob a layaway that somone decided they didnt want, there was only 1 available. Looking forward to it getting to me, never would have knew avout ot without you, thank you!!

Shootout is great. My favorite knife and I carry it everyday
Hey .I was also going to get a shootout after I got my first otf. It's a kalashnikov or something like that
It's crazy how often dlt stocks medfords, given they said they would stop ordering them after greg's blade east controversy. Either they have a metaphorical ton of them backordered (could be a literal ton with medford's design language haha), or they figured nobody would notice or care.
Every time I see that Rockstead with a broken tip, I cringe and immediately rethink what I’m doing and carrying.
I can’t seem to find a 1902 anywhere!! 😢
Sweet knives. If you ever want to giveaway one of your 20.5's I'm here for you. 😆
Tactile was saying they will be increasing their heat treat to 63-64 soon apparently. So might want to wait for a bit if you are thinking about that one
Thanks for making this!
Cool content!
I like the war junkie best
Would the rockstead be pretty easy to chip?
Anyone know if the civivi brazen tanto is good or not? Its like perfect for my price range and it's the prettiest pocket knife in my price range I've ever seen and I plan to buy it but it seems kinda cheap for how it seems
The Damascus liner lock one
I don’t have a protech to compare to but could it actually be much better than the Microtech ludt or automatic socom elite ??

Wiha bits and drivers can find em everywhere including amazon

Damn you MC for making me spend my hard earned expendable income.
You should check out the Medford M-48

Blue was at Atlantic knives yesterday…
@@Ughthisagain damn. Guess I missed out.
I haven't found the satin/coyote Velona for months 😭 Such a bummer
rockstead blades so clean we got a face reveal haha
Have you handled the sencut Watauga yet?
Hate to call you out but the Higo 2 isn’t available at that link and I haven’t seen one for a while tbh I’ve been looking
It was absolutely available when I recorded the video. Could have been a small restock.
Hmm Germany hre
Do you have a Hogue deka sub zero for sale?
By any chance are you selling or know anyone selling a mag blade ?😅
i cut rocks with my rockstead shush

Try ebay.
Try Atlantic Knives, I bought my blue one from them, but not sure if they ship overseas
@@ninjatiger1366 i didn't find anything
@@butchcassidy3373 i already looked at it and they don't have it stock at the moment.
I like knives, but I find myself counting how many new pistols I could buy.
Every time I see an expensive gun, I think about how many knives I could buy.
Yay!
Oh... advertising medford is a bit cringe 😬
Agreed! Weird bc I thought MC said he wasn't going to feature them anymore. ❓❓
Can still recommend or like the knives without promoting the guy himself...I may not like or agree with everything about the dude. But I didn't let that stop me from getting a Proxima & a Smooth Criminal
Why isn't your Demko AD.20 here?
Because you can't buy that lol
Lol @metal_complex is like QVC on roids brah..I'm on knife 2 ..& I think umma plunge on knife 3 $$..sry if tht was a bad joke 🤣
$1500 for a knife? VALUE! Broke the tip? Man you must have a bunch of disposable income. Miguron Velona is more my style.
Here for my husband 😑
😂 you're a good wife for doing so
Lol knives i can actually buy. what u seem to forget about me is I'm poor AF
The Crowley is under 50
Should check out the medford m48.
@metal_complex what's the best knife for $100
dude idk how you managed to break that tip lolz. That must have hurt your soul.
