i love this channel so much! thank you frankie and bird for all of your amazing videos! i cant even begin to tell you how much more knowledgeable ive become from watching you guys. i hope you continue doing what your doing, and thanks again for all the great content!
1) CRKT HOOTENANNY!!! 2) Spyderco Tenacious 3) CRKT M21-02G 4) CRKT Jettison 5) Kershaw Eris You guys got me to get 1 and 4. Thanks for the great reviews and entertainment!
Out of my current collection: ZT 0450cf, Spyderco PM2, CRKT Homefront, CRKT GSD, Spyderco Tenacious. I have an average collection, though always expanding.
BirdShot IV. Not that original but for me....My PM2 in s30v, benchmade mini grip in 154cm, Manix 2 in s30v, benchmade 940 in s30v, and delica 4 in vg10.
For me my top five knives would be: Kershaw Dash- I got this around Christmas and it rarely leaves my pocket. House of Blades Kershaw Link- Amazing EDC knife at a high value -Spyderco Manic 2 XL -Kershaw cqc4k XL-defensive blade -Ontario Rat 1 Great video guys! You guys are doing amazing things.
What an awesome way to share your collections while also adding an extra wrinkle of fun! I'm not quite ready with my list. I also have to add that Frankie's WE is so super cool. I'm saving for a WE and that is definitely one to get :)
Hey bird, I applied for a job at McDonald's today to build up some job history and some spending money. already got the gear I'm going to buy. l eatherman wingman, tenacious, Bushnell light, and a good soild pen which I'm looking into now. nice choices!
Now that I'm getting ready to make the jump to the next level of knives it's not hard to see which ones I'd get rid of... but I think I have a plan for them all this summer for my upcoming channel. I'm so thankful for people like you guys, because if I didn't watch your videos I would still think that mtech and TAC force were the coolest and best knives ever!
Hey bird just a quick thought I took the blade off the 0450 silver blade and put it on the carbon fiber frame and called zt and got a 0550 clip from them. It is the perfect knife now. It's a semi custom now and I love it.
My top 5 : 940-2, benchmade griptillian, zt 0459cf, Ontario rat 2, and crkt crossbones. I don't have the greatest collection but it's pretty good I'm only 15 and out of my 22 pocket knives these are definitely the ones I will always have
BirdShot IV thanks I’ve done some research on what I would like and went to places like smoky mountain knife works to see them, but my whole family thinks I’m crazy😜
BS4- Fun video. I'd keep my ZT 801 BRZ, Reate Horizon D, Large Sabenza 25, CKF Sablya, Benchmade 940 Knifeworks. Hard to leave out the PM2, ZT 0450CF and Griptilian.
Blurple Manix 2, Satin/camo PM2, Cold Steel Voyager XL half serrated clip point (hey, I live in california, this knife is my sidearm) Spyderco Cat (to back up the Voyager, I am NOT pulling that out in public) Last slot, probably my lightweight manix 2 with a zip tie wave mod (bicycle knife - absolutely essential on the freezing streets of SoCal) When my CH 3001B comes in the mail, eventually, it might bump out the Cat as backup gentleman's blade. You guys are partly to blame for that last purchase. Also wavester64 and LuvThemKnives. Thanks. We can't all afford to buy dozens of knives, so grateful to you all who help us make our choices awesome.
I'm a new sub and I love your channel! I'm going to be getting a 0452 for Christmas from my wife! I have a small collection right now. 940 s30v plain satin Spyderco endura plain edge green vg10 Microtech Orange clip point ultratech Elma plain edge Piranha predictor purple s30v plain edge Matriarch 2 full spyderedge vg10 Tan protech godfather 154cm Red Microtech LUDT Elma plain edge White TNP paramilitary 2 plain edge Large Espada g10 aus8 plain edge Large voyager tanto BD1 plain edge Ashville steel paragon satin Dagger plain edge s30v Cold steel warcraft tanto large xhp dlc coated Ontario RTAK2 plain edge in D2 That's it so far! More to come!
The TNP influence is obvious in that collection :) Some good ones for sure. He got me started back in 2010, never thought I'd be a knife guy lol. Thank you for the support!
Hi. I am newer to your guys' channel. I am more of a gun and shooting person first, then knives next. I don't have nearly the repetoire or maybe the arsenal of knives you guys have would be a better description. Right now I only have about 15. Probably 5 of them are folding knives I have used over the course of the 2 careers I've had. (I'm 41) However, I am starting to collect more because let's face it, they are cheaper than guns to collect. Lol. I do sharpen my own knives and I am pretty good with steel because I work with it everyday. I do not own any super expensive knives. The most expensive I have is probably 60 bucks. Like I said, kind just getting into it. I am only going to give you guys one knife this time but when you do this again, I may have more of a selection. I am picking this knife because it is my current favorite and very versatile. I also am bringing it up because I wanted to ask you guys something about it. Again none of mine are super expensive, but I pick the Smith and Wesson M&P SWMP4L. That is the one with the plain blade. I do own the same knife thst has a partially serrated blade too. I wanted to ask you guys, I went over a lot of your guys' old videos and I don't see you guys talk about any of the Smith and Wesson knives. I also bought my g/f one of the Smith and Wesson knives. I love that M&P. It's got a nice sized blade, the assist on it is lightning fast, it has a glass breaker and the thing I like the most, is, it is pretty heavy and fits and feels perfect in your hand. I have always carried a knife as a tool first but a weapon if it needs to be and I'm telling you, that knife is heavy enough that if I had it in my hand, you would not want to be hit by it. So, I'm sure you guys had to have seen the knife, but I don't know if you own one, but as a not super cheap but not real expensive knife. I love it. Sorry this was so long but I just wanted to say hi, tell you a little about me and let you know I've been watching you a couple weeks. I promise next one will be shorter. Lol. Take Care. I'm Chris.
That Ferrum Forge is just awesome, both of them actually. Your collection is really growing. I want to check out some of the higher end Kizers... My top 5-Benchmade 940, Spyderco PM2, Spyderco Manix 2 LW S110V, Benchmade 950 Rift, Spyderco Yojimbo 2.. Most of my collection is boring but solid..
This was so much harder than I thought lol. My final 5 are: -Kizer Kesmec in Flamed Titanium -Spyderco Sage 2 (first real knife I bought) -Benchmade 940-1 -Spyderco Manix 2 with dark blue G10 and S110V -ZT 0450 with flamed titanium handles (the one I bought from you guys)
Great choices all around. I think it is really interesting how people either gravitate towards the manix 2 or the pm2. I personally am a pm2 fan but I always find it interesting how many people go for either one or the other. You gotta choose a team haha
I think I'll wait for the "under $50 2017 edition" to post mine -- I'm still focusing on the budget blades. But even THAT would be a tough one (mostly by way of GearBest). Definitely some changes from the LAST "budget Pick 5" one, though. And I'll have to double-check if the Spyderco Squeak is available again for under $50 . . .
Delica 4 HAP40/SUS410, 940-1, PM2, ZT0562cf, and 3.5" XM-18 Bowie. Although for the last 2 weeks been carrying Rat1 in D2 and it's pretty awesome for $34.
Mark..... OK Frankie what's the blade (spyderco) one down from Hubbies red bench made. I'm liking that a lot. Unlike your normal camel hunch back spyderco knife. Blade is a full use edge for sure....flat grind...?? Whaat is the name...
just to edc the rest of my life list that I currently have CR Sebenza 21 micarta inlay, Hinderer xm-18 no choil m-390 battle bronze sand g-10 wf, Strider Sng cc od green cts-40cp, spyderco pm2 blue m390, Spyderco Military Integral frame lock ti.
Nice choices guys! You've got to contact ZT for a free deep carry clip for your 0808, made a big difference in the overall feel and aesthetics. A deep carry Sage clip on that Manix would be slick as well.
ZT customer service brings tears to my eyes. I asked for one in an email, they sent me two! No questions asked and within days. It makes a huge impact on my choices for future purchases.
That would be a really tuff one but know you have me thinking what I would choose now I may have to do my own vid but it will probably be my top ten fives is just to hard. Lol
damn fun game, good picks, solid. i would, from my currents, 1-benchmade 940, 2-ZT 0452, 3- Benchmade Griptilian, 4-boker kwaiken cf, & finally, 5, my kizer roach. one of my 1st vids I watched on your channel was the roach vid. I can't believe you booted your 452 🐦. you got some sweet knives though
My pick would be: ZT 0562CF, Spyderco Tuff, Kizer Flashbang, Real Steel Griffin and ehm.... ah what the hell: the ZT 0301ST. That's my pick for production knives at least, Custom knives is something completely different :'D great vid guys!
This is way too tough, but these 5 would be tough to let go: We knife 604C, Kizer Shoal, ZT 0801, Y-start Sinkevich leaf pattern, Spyderco "blurple" Native. How do you stop at 5?
I know it’s an older video but always so relevant. Spyderco PM2 orange Cutleryshoppe exclusive Spyderco Sage5 ZT0450CF ZT0770CFM4 (knivesshipfree exclusive) Viper Fortis carbon fiber Also, Frankie you gotta suffer through the coating on the 0770CFM4... all the darkness and carbon fiber ... and M4 blade steel makes it one of my favorites!
For me it would have to be my Large Sebenza 21 with tanto grind and micarta inlays, ZT 0450CF, ZT 0562, Microtech Ultratech, and my Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight.
+Tmankiller72 I would go with the zt0450cf in zdp189. Both are great, but I carry my ZT way more, it really is my favorite knife out of all of them. -Frankie
I would have to go with my five carry knives I currently use, which are all Spyderco- Large- Manix 2 XL Medium- Manix 2 blurple in S110 Small- Sage 5 Lightweight- Manix 2 light weight in S110 Flipper- Domino with blue check carbon fiber
man you guys had some REALLY tough choices! i want a spyderco military and the g10 police still and they didnt make the cut this year! i debate it heavily with my zt 0452cf if i even need the others....and im a wave fan and you had the endura AND the zt 0630 tanto! super tough decisions man. i couldnt believe when the microtechs got pulled...but ive taken mine apart because a spring got jammed and it was a hassle trying to get the stupid tri wing tool.....YEAH i could live without that thing too. i dont plan on buying another unless i get a stupid deal on it like that blade show price i just got that manix 2 lw in blue with s110v. been carrying it off and on and work instead of my usual zt 0450...my zt may be getting dethroned!
Tough call, since I would have to factor in legality where I live (EU). So it would probably boil down to Spyderco PM2, Spyderco Manix LW S110V, Spyderco UKPK, GEC #66, Ontario RAT-2.
1. ZT 0456 2. Kershaw Link 3. Ganzo 7533CF 4. Ontario Rat 1 (in AUS 8) 5. Victorinox Mechanic My spine is finally letting me get back into road cycling, so knives are gonna take the back seat. I wish I had a collection like yours so I could sell it all and buy a Kestrel Talon. :P Guess there's always next year.
😱 You got rid of the big murdery ZT 0452CF!!! I think Shabazz is rubbing off on you. I personally love that knife, as a tall, big handed gentlemen that's easily my favorite knife.
Yeah, but he just uses it for reviews. That small handed fella, would never take that knife out of the house unless he was shipping it to someone. It's murdery, and too big for his little paws.
A very late comment: before I got into the knife game, „pick 5“ sounded totally ridiculous to me. Why would anybody need 5 pocket knives anyway? Today I think „I could never reduce down to 5 knives only!!“ 😂
spyderco mannix 2 in marbled carbon fiber civivi praxis civivi incite with shredded carbon fiber and copper in resin with damascus microtech ultratech the last one is hard because i dont have a lot of folders right now(im a fixed blade kinda guy) but i would have to make the last one artisan cutlery cygnus in green titanium and s35vn steel!
Considering some of the knives you guys have got, that says an awful lot for the ones that made the final group. Because some are far away from being mid tech. A lot of people would assume this would have been nothing but Microtech, Medford, etc. and as it was some of the pricey ones were eliminated quickly. From this list I already guessed where it was going to go - but still impressive that a "cheap" Kizer made the top 5 on Frankie's side. One thing that's kept me away from WE, as gorgeous as they are - is the grind on some of them (the 601 style). While that's half the beauty - how do you sharpen it? When it comes to all around _competency,_ ZT, Spyderco and Benchmade are still hard to beat. When the end times come, are you hopping in your 12 cylinder Ferrari, or the Ford F150?
I don't know much about knives but do you know anything about the Smith and Wesson extreme ops SWA4 knife? I had 20 dollar credit at AutoZone so I picked this knife up
Thank you for the quick response! if you guys happen to run into one. I'd like to know if i made a great choice cause I'm no expert. I dont know if a got a crappy knife or a good quality knife
i love this channel so much! thank you frankie and bird for all of your amazing videos! i cant even begin to tell you how much more knowledgeable ive become from watching you guys. i hope you continue doing what your doing, and thanks again for all the great content!
thank you for the support!

-Ontario Rat 1
Great video guys! You guys are doing amazing things.
I loved last year's video and you guys did it again it's cool to see what knives you're really into
What an awesome way to share your collections while also adding an extra wrinkle of fun! I'm not quite ready with my list. I also have to add that Frankie's WE is so super cool. I'm saving for a WE and that is definitely one to get :)
the 606 is our mutual fav
Hey bird, I applied for a job at McDonald's today to build up some job history and some spending money. already got the gear I'm going to buy. l eatherman wingman, tenacious, Bushnell light, and a good soild pen which I'm looking into now. nice choices!
haha McDonalds was my very first job when I was 15, loved it for the free food!
BirdShot IV well it's a start!
Now that I'm getting ready to make the jump to the next level of knives it's not hard to see which ones I'd get rid of... but I think I have a plan for them all this summer for my upcoming channel. I'm so thankful for people like you guys, because if I didn't watch your videos I would still think that mtech and TAC force were the coolest and best knives ever!
haha it can be a downward spiral for sure
Hey bird just a quick thought I took the blade off the 0450 silver blade and put it on the carbon fiber frame and called zt and got a 0550 clip from them. It is the perfect knife now. It's a semi custom now and I love it.

for 15 you have some really good ones!
BirdShot IV thanks I’ve done some research on what I would like and went to places like smoky mountain knife works to see them, but my whole family thinks I’m crazy😜
These are my favorite type of your videos
BS4- Fun video. I'd keep my ZT 801 BRZ, Reate Horizon D, Large Sabenza 25, CKF Sablya, Benchmade 940 Knifeworks. Hard to leave out the PM2, ZT 0450CF and Griptilian.
This was a really great video, love it!
thanks Nick!
The lion steel Frankie had was an Sr2....Is that the titanium one?Love the color I believe I have the sr1 in the same color.Aluminum and D2
Blurple Manix 2, Satin/camo PM2, Cold Steel Voyager XL half serrated clip point (hey, I live in california, this knife is my sidearm) Spyderco Cat (to back up the Voyager, I am NOT pulling that out in public) Last slot, probably my lightweight manix 2 with a zip tie wave mod (bicycle knife - absolutely essential on the freezing streets of SoCal) When my CH 3001B comes in the mail, eventually, it might bump out the Cat as backup gentleman's blade.

Hey guys it's bryce the guy that sold you the reate I've sharpened two 601 on my edge pro they aren't bad try it out
Hi. I am newer to your guys' channel. I am more of a gun and shooting person first, then knives next. I don't have nearly the repetoire or maybe the arsenal of knives you guys have would be a better description. Right now I only have about 15.

That Ferrum Forge is just awesome, both of them actually. Your collection is really growing. I want to check out some of the higher end Kizers...
My top 5-Benchmade 940, Spyderco PM2, Spyderco Manix 2 LW S110V, Benchmade 950 Rift, Spyderco Yojimbo 2.. Most of my collection is boring but solid..
You have some good ones for sure!
This was so much harder than I thought lol. My final 5 are:
-Kizer Kesmec in Flamed Titanium
-Spyderco Sage 2 (first real knife I bought)
-Benchmade 940-1
-Spyderco Manix 2 with dark blue G10 and S110V
-ZT 0450 with flamed titanium handles (the one I bought from you guys)
haha you have your 450 as well
Always a difficult time of the year. Thanks.
11:05 I just have to say, this is one of the funniest exchanges I have ever seen. I play it over and over and crack up.
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄
some really cool cutters,,,with unique blades designs,,,Wow good choices
we hope so!
It's amazing how the delica is among the same group as microtechs, zt's etc. Definitely the delica is punching above its weight class.
Great choices all around. I think it is really interesting how people either gravitate towards the manix 2 or the pm2. I personally am a pm2 fan but I always find it interesting how many people go for either one or the other. You gotta choose a team haha
even sold our PM2!
love how you both are into knife collecting you both are blessed
thank you for the support!
benchmade mini grip 555-1, spyderco PM2, chaparral, ZT 0450 cf, kershaw cryo
solid choices
I think I'll wait for the "under $50 2017 edition" to post mine -- I'm still focusing on the budget blades. But even THAT would be a tough one (mostly by way of GearBest). Definitely some changes from the LAST "budget Pick 5" one, though.
And I'll have to double-check if the Spyderco Squeak is available again for under $50 . . .
I always like these videos! I really love that Manix 2 and have always wanted one.. Just a little out of my price range...
one I can't see ever getting rid of!
I've always loved this game
If you guys ever decide to sell that Ferrum Forge Veloz, please let me know! I've been wanting one of those.
I love that 940.... I thought it was orange in the last video lol but it looks even better now that I know its red
Delica 4 HAP40/SUS410, 940-1, PM2, ZT0562cf, and 3.5" XM-18 Bowie.
Although for the last 2 weeks been carrying Rat1 in D2 and it's pretty awesome for $34.
good choices!
My top 5 for the rest of my life are a Spyderco tenacious,benchmade 940, CRKT home front, CRKT squid,kershaw shuffle
I think you guys would cry if you actually had to do this because of all of the money spent and fun times with all of your guys’s knives
Mark.....
OK Frankie what's the blade (spyderco) one down from Hubbies red bench made.
I'm liking that a lot. Unlike your normal camel hunch back spyderco knife.
Blade is a full use edge for sure....flat grind...??
Whaat is the name...
Mark Thompson spydiechef
This was a nail biter for sure! And you guys were definitely right about the Manix 2 LW, one of the best pocket knives I've ever owned! STAY CLASSY :)
yep, thanks Cory!
just to edc the rest of my life list that I currently have
CR Sebenza 21 micarta inlay,
Hinderer xm-18 no choil m-390 battle bronze sand g-10 wf,
Strider Sng cc od green cts-40cp,
spyderco pm2 blue m390,
Spyderco Military Integral frame lock ti.
Nice choices guys! You've got to contact ZT for a free deep carry clip for your 0808, made a big difference in the overall feel and aesthetics. A deep carry Sage clip on that Manix would be slick as well.
thanks for the tips!!
ZT customer service brings tears to my eyes. I asked for one in an email, they sent me two! No questions asked and within days. It makes a huge impact on my choices for future purchases.
1st (fluted Ti Native 5) 2nd (Benchmade 940-1) 3rd (Jim Burke production Rockstar) 4th (Benchmade 530) 5th (viper Kyomi).
That would be a really tuff one but know you have me thinking what I would choose now I may have to do my own vid but it will probably be my top ten fives is just to hard. Lol
damn fun game, good picks, solid. i would, from my currents, 1-benchmade 940, 2-ZT 0452, 3- Benchmade Griptilian, 4-boker kwaiken cf, & finally, 5, my kizer roach. one of my 1st vids I watched on your channel was the roach vid. I can't believe you booted your 452 🐦. you got some sweet knives though
Benchmade 940
Spyderco Techno
Kershaw Blur
CRK Sebenza
ZT 450...
My pick would be: ZT 0562CF, Spyderco Tuff, Kizer Flashbang, Real Steel Griffin and ehm.... ah what the hell: the ZT 0301ST.
That's my pick for production knives at least, Custom knives is something completely different :'D
great vid guys!
lol thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I love it! Fan Forever!
My top five is the PM2, 0450, 940, Manix 2, Spydero Mantra.
This is way too tough, but these 5 would be tough to let go: We knife 604C, Kizer Shoal, ZT 0801, Y-start Sinkevich leaf pattern, Spyderco "blurple" Native. How do you stop at 5?
604C!!
I know it’s an older video but always so relevant.
Spyderco PM2 orange Cutleryshoppe exclusive
Spyderco Sage5
ZT0450CF
ZT0770CFM4 (knivesshipfree exclusive)
Viper Fortis carbon fiber
Also, Frankie you gotta suffer through the coating on the 0770CFM4... all the darkness and carbon fiber ... and M4 blade steel makes it one of my favorites!
excellent choices!
For me it would have to be my Large Sebenza 21 with tanto grind and micarta inlays, ZT 0450CF, ZT 0562, Microtech Ultratech, and my Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight.
Ok...the Benchmade Nakamura in carbon fiber and s90v (484-1) or the ZT 0450cf in ZDP189?
+Tmankiller72 I would go with the zt0450cf in zdp189. Both are great, but I carry my ZT way more, it really is my favorite knife out of all of them. -Frankie
I would have to go with my five carry knives I currently use, which are all Spyderco-
Large- Manix 2 XL
Medium- Manix 2 blurple in S110
Small- Sage 5
Lightweight- Manix 2 light weight in S110
Flipper- Domino with blue check carbon fiber
I can't believe you guys got rid of your "signature" knives. The Red Benchmade and the Green Delica 4. What?!
gf0x7pz good call!!! it's 4am & this vid is making my head spin!! can't sleep
good vid. I regret selling my Emerson zt
pm2, delica, olamic wayfarer, calavera cutlery el patron, Foster R1.
man you guys had some REALLY tough choices! i want a spyderco military and the g10 police still and they didnt make the cut this year! i debate it heavily with my zt 0452cf if i even need the others....and im a wave fan and you had the endura AND the zt 0630 tanto!
super tough decisions man. i couldnt believe when the microtechs got pulled...but ive taken mine apart because a spring got jammed and it was a hassle trying to get the stupid tri wing tool.....YEAH i could live without that thing too. i dont plan on buying another unless i get a stupid deal on it like that blade show price
i just got that manix 2 lw in blue with s110v. been carrying it off and on and work instead of my usual zt 0450...my zt may be getting dethroned!
Tough call, since I would have to factor in legality where I live (EU). So it would probably boil down to Spyderco PM2, Spyderco Manix LW S110V, Spyderco UKPK, GEC #66, Ontario RAT-2.
wish we had our Rat 2 already!
What is the name of the second knife from the bottom on the right side
1. ZT 0456
2. Kershaw Link
3. Ganzo 7533CF
4. Ontario Rat 1 (in AUS 8)
5. Victorinox Mechanic
My spine is finally letting me get back into road cycling, so knives are gonna take the back seat. I wish I had a collection like yours so I could sell it all and buy a Kestrel Talon. :P
Guess there's always next year.
good news for fitness though, awesome!
Nice video I liked the one u guys did last year too! Makes u think a little
yep, kinda fun in a made up scenario ;)
I need more ZT obviously. Also need a first Spyderco. Some of the others are out of my budget. I will have a Dukes soon.
Can't go wrong with the Dukes!
I can tell how difficult this was for y'all! Nice choices. I think I have a total of 5 knives, so.....lol
that's it??!!
Small sebenza, Benchmade north fork, pm2, Emerson horseman, salt 1
How are you sharpening the weird tips on the WE knives? Looks like it'd be kinda hard on the KME?
I have yet to sharpen one of those crazy grinds. I believe I would do a micro-bevel on them
I was thinking that I'd probably do the same thing. I wish WE would adopt easier to maintain edges. And make some slim 3"-3.5" knives.
nice, I remember suggesting the 0620
My top five
1. Strider SMF
2. Burchtree bladeworks midtech v2
3. Strider SNG
4. Microtech select fire
5. Les gorge talos
5. Kershaw Leek
4. Benchmade 555-1 mini gtip
3. CRKT Tighe Tac Two
2. Kershaw H.O.B. Link
1. Spyderco Native 5
Fun Video guys. From my choices; PM2, Techno, Endura4, BM G10 Grip, Domino. I like Frakies taste better........:)
+BigDog04 I couldn't agree more! :) -Frankie
1. Benchmade 940-2
2. Spyderco Tenacious
3. Ganzo F753
4. Victorinox Tinker
5. Byrd Meadowlark 2
From my current collection I'd choose the 0452cf, Slysz Bowie, m4 PM2, 51 morpho, and Venom 2.
some good ones!
you guys have fun vids. thanks! I really, really want a spydie chef....
+Brenton Carr I love the Spydie Chef! If Bird didn't choose it, I would have! -Frankie
Have you ever played with a Sog Kiku?
no, looks cool though
😱 You got rid of the big murdery ZT 0452CF!!! I think Shabazz is rubbing off on you. I personally love that knife, as a tall, big handed gentlemen that's easily my favorite knife.
Nick still owns his as far as I know :)
Yeah, but he just uses it for reviews. That small handed fella, would never take that knife out of the house unless he was shipping it to someone. It's murdery, and too big for his little paws.
I got a zhunter delica manix 2 mini grip and a buck 830
how could we forget a Z hunter!?
A very late comment: before I got into the knife game, „pick 5“ sounded totally ridiculous to me. Why would anybody need 5 pocket knives anyway? Today I think „I could never reduce down to 5 knives only!!“ 😂
😆😆👍👍
spyderco mannix 2 in marbled carbon fiber
civivi praxis
civivi incite with shredded carbon fiber and copper in resin with damascus
microtech ultratech
the last one is hard because i dont have a lot of folders right now(im a fixed blade kinda guy) but i would have to make the last one artisan cutlery cygnus in green titanium and s35vn steel!
Considering some of the knives you guys have got, that says an awful lot for the ones that made the final group. Because some are far away from being mid tech. A lot of people would assume this would have been nothing but Microtech, Medford, etc. and as it was some of the pricey ones were eliminated quickly. From this list I already guessed where it was going to go - but still impressive that a "cheap" Kizer made the top 5 on Frankie's side. One thing that's kept me away from WE, as gorgeous as they are - is the grind on some of them (the 601 style). While that's half the beauty - how do you sharpen it? When it comes to all around _competency,_ ZT, Spyderco and Benchmade are still hard to beat. When the end times come, are you hopping in your 12 cylinder Ferrari, or the Ford F150?
Where did you buy the red and black 940?
that was a gun show find, 3 years ago
Could you recommend a few places online to but used knives?
for used knives we have used Facebook and Instagram mostly
Thank you!
As soon as Frankie said "this might surprise a lot of people" i knew the delica was gone. Its a sad day.
spoiler alert!!
Lol I could see you guys hosting a awesome Tupperware party
good job keeping the 0808!
haha have to!
The UTX-85 was an 0450
surprised the delica went, but the dukes is o e I have and like too.
I know, I had to change it up a bit! -Frankie
How could you get rid of the Nakamura farnkie!!!!!
Lol go to a newer video....say about action! -Frankie
y'all ever gonna check out the buck marksman?
we just got a Buck in yesterday, not sure the model but first impressions were good
BirdShot IV was it a aluminum handled flipper with a weird lock?
Great video as always!
we really appreciate that!
I want a dukes flipper. That would definitely be in my top 5 =)
it's as much of a toy as it is a knife!
I wish I had just one of the knives on that table
all I need is 3 Knives.

I don't know much about knives but do you know anything about the Smith and Wesson extreme ops SWA4 knife? I had 20 dollar credit at AutoZone so I picked this knife up
never handled one, sorry
Thank you for the quick response! if you guys happen to run into one. I'd like to know if i made a great choice cause I'm no expert. I dont know if a got a crappy knife or a good quality knife
I like the switchblade
