The choice is easy for me. I have never really been a a Spyderco fan but have carried a Buck 112 or 110 almost daily since 1974 when I got my first 112.
I like my beautiful and functional, made in USA, brown burlap Micarta BUCK 110 Slim Pro. It carries very light and small in pocket. BUCK has the best and forever warranty and no questions asked. You have to break all BUCKS in. Mine opens easier than it did nib but it still takes two hands for a safe closure, for me anyhow. Who cares? It's a working/hunting knife. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the cutout logo on the clip which sometimes hangs up when putting it into the pocket.
So weird. My 2 full sized folders I keep in my rotation are the Buck 110 TRX slim Pro, and a Spyderco Stretch 2. 2 of my all time fav blade shapes ever made.
Hi David, could you please suggest me a neck knife as well as a fixed blade knife, each below 50 dollars. As an edc, currently I carry a victorinox Spartan.
I can see by the comments that no one in here has experience with the Spyderco Stretch. For me, it's my favorite EDC knife of all time. It's slim, fits my hand like a glove, you can choke up on it, and the blade shape is absolutely perfect for me. It holds a good edge in vg-10, and it sharpens up easily. I love the volcano grip FRN handles for their functionality, and it's not so "special" that I'd ever feel bad about all the hard use I put it through. I like how solid the knife locks up, but I can close it one handed just as safely and easily as any other locking system I've ever tried. I don't know a whole lot about the Buck 110, but for me, the Spyderco Stretch is just about perfect.
I love my Spydercos. Stretch is a great design. It's super slicey and the hump on the back of the blade speaks to me. That being said, getting an S30V blade, micarta handle, made in America for $89 is hard to beat.
@@drewpfeif5028 it's a good value for certain, but that doesn't make it a more functionality knife. I'd be thrilled to own a 110, but it's not gonna take the Stretches place in my pocket.
@@Timothius82 i think we agree one is a better design while the other has better materials. I keep waiting for Spyderco to do a Sprint run on the tenacious series and put a decent steel in there but so far no luck...
@@drewpfeif5028 if that's the case, have you tried the para military 2. Pretty similar in size to the tenacious, but it's one of Spyderco's most popular
@@Timothius82 thanks for the tip, I've been eyeballing one for awhile, almost pulled the trigger but ended up getting a massdrop perpetua instead. I'm sure I'll get one eventually though
I like the buck. They need to move into screws instead of rivets though, but still a great design. People are just opposed to giving buck a chance because it's your grandad knife and quality was lacking in the late 90s buck is updating and revamping themselves and I like their knives and steel People can day 420hc is trash but it's not it's a useful steel but is not a premium steel most people dont use their knives to justify 20cv but spend what you want buy what you like just dont overlook a company because their not the new kid on the block with a new name Buck has done this 37 yr old great I have a buck 110, a buck 841 burlap micarta s30v, a buck marksmen 154cm steel and a buck 102 They are all quality knives and I personally love the history and tradition of Buck knives
@@knifecenter great! i actually just ordered it from u guys yesterday ...& while its not my first knife bought thru ur company, it will be the First Spyderco in my modest collection ...so i am looking quite forward to the new experience! i really appreciate u taking the time to respond, & i thoroughly enjoy ur u tube videos, Thank U Sir!
I'll take the Buck 110 every time. That Spyderco has got to be the ugliest of all there ugly looking knives. Plus the Buck has a hollow grind and s30v.
@@Timothius82 for the length, yes, but the area where my ring finger rest on the handle, on Stretch it's wide, on Endura it's slim(er). However I do have smaller hands than most people.
I like BUCKS but I also like my Spydercos. But I used to think that they were fugly also. Then I got, and used, my first USA made Spyderco; and that changed my mind. Hey, I also think that the A-10 Warthog is beautiful, so what do I know?
@@stevejfromak842 Spyderco may produce the best knives in the world, but I would rather die than own one. A-10 can be pretty. It has its function and place, but a spyderco knife... gah... just no. It looks so wrong. It's like having a round shaped ax. On the other hand, classic Buck is the most beautiful knife in the world. Only Benchmade's Crooked River can be compared to it. Buck is the real knife, the rest are just tools.
@@damyr LOL! I don't believe that I ever made the claim that Spydercos are the best in the world? I would never even try to make anybody change their own personal tastes. It's your money and you need to spend it how you want to. I still have my first 110 that I bought while serving in the US NAVY, (for $7.00 btw), fifty two years ago. It has always served me well over the years from Vietnam, to the crossing the line south of Singapore, north to the Bering sea. I don't use it anymore because I wouldn't want to lose it. My kind of new brown burlap Micarta 110 slim pro has taken it's place in my rotation. Also, imo, the A-10 is always beautiful. Pax
@@stevejfromak842 No, you didn't say spyderco are the best, but even if they are I wouldn't own one. I don't really hate spyderco knives, but if someone would gift me one, I'd hate that person. :) I told you... Buck all the way. I love mine Buck 110. I have it for 25 years now and, even if it's all beaten up, I cherish it and I wouldn't change it for the whole Spyderco factory. Now I only use my old trusty SAK Climber for all purposes (and few fixed blades), tho I like watching videos about knives and see what's new. Btw, man, you're really old. I thought Vietnam veterans were all died off. Just kidding. :) Anyway, have a greet from a war veteran from another part of the world (Croatia).

Pete Wheeler they keeping the rivots🔪
All these buck boys. Yeah Its a nice knife, the LW buck especially. But the stretch in the different steels they offer for me.
i know this is an older video, but can anybody tell me what kinda pivot bushing the spyderco stretch 2 is running? thanx
Phosphor bronze I believe -DCA

I’ll take the American Made Buck!
Yea me too bro 👍💯🇺🇸
Same 🇺🇸#1
I never understood the popularity of Spyderco; low-quality plastic handles, weird blade shapes, made in China or Japan. Buck for me any day.
Buck, 🇺🇸 #1
The Buck. Everything you need. No frills, or god ugly design.
I'll take the Buck ❗👍🏻😎
BUCK 110 sim pro 👍👍👍👍👍
The Buck💯👍🇺🇸
The spyderco blade looks a lot like my UK Pk 🤔
DAMN YOU!
Mr Anderson, the best salesman ever!
Buck is much better looking...
Yea me to bro 🇺🇸💯💪👍👍
Buck 110 with s30v is the winner
I'll take the Buck 110 every time. That Spyderco has got to be the ugliest of all there ugly looking knives. Plus the Buck has a hollow grind and s30v.
Buck all the way .
The Buck
I will take the Stretch.
Endura. Stretch is too bulky for me. Buck is on my blacklist for the quality.
Ferrumium Canis is your blacklist a good or bad thing?
I'm not sure what you mean by bulky? The Stretch is a hair smaller than the Endura with the exact same thickness but better ergonomics.
@@chrisreuther4546 I'm not a native English speaker so please enlighten me, do people blacklist a company for being good?
@@Timothius82 for the length, yes, but the area where my ring finger rest on the handle, on Stretch it's wide, on Endura it's slim(er). However I do have smaller hands than most people.
@@ferrumiumcanis5211 I am assuming that you mean that you won't buy buck because they have questionable quality on the back end. Am I correct in this?
I like the Buck, but it is hard to open with one hand with that thumb stud placement.
Stretch simply because you can't disassemble the Buck
Gasosphere yu know how many times i had to take apart my knives?? 🔪🇺🇸
@@ericblade8330 thats up to you, but I like to be able to disassemble my knives sonic can properly maintain them.
Buck was put together right in the first place so no need to take it apart
I have handled these slim pro ones and I can assure you they could be improved upon. Blade play like crazy and so off center it was hitting the scalea
@@Mike_Pedals I've handled them aswell no problems over here...hmmm.?
Bucks all the way. Spydercos are ugly AF.

Personally I think the hole in the spider co makes the blade week it will snap
Nonsense
If you're doing something to make the blade snap at the thumb hole, I imagine the handle would separate from the blade long before.
Hello snowflakes. Yes the blade is trash plastic made in China pos
