Thanks Rob. I'm a fixed blade kinda guy, but since I've been watching your channel and many others, I bought my first folder before Christmas. The AD-10. Now after a lot of research, and your approval, I picked up the Super Freak. Thanks brother. Looking forward to seeing what's on the menu for 2020. Cheers
Question, do you convex grind all your blade or are they flat as well? It's hard to tell, so shinny! Is convex a better grind to adopt to most grinds? (Should I reprofile my flat grinds)
Nice choices. Love my “Super” Freek too! I tend to carry 1 beater knife and 1 that just gives me that warm feeling inside. My beaters- Spyderco manix-2 in S30V, ZT O561 in Elmax, Cold Steel recon-1 or rajah-3 and my Ontario RAT-1 in D2. My favorite warm and fuzzy feeling knives- it would have to be my German made Boker titan worker with the most beautiful blade profile ever, the flat sabre ground drop point in good old 440C steel, thick titanium liner lock with ti bolsters and brown canvas micarta handles and my Boker Oberland EDW.1 with N690 blade steel and gray/green canvas micarta handles. The action of those phosphor bronze washer pivots is hard to describe. Smoother than any ball bearing pivot around and both will sloooowly lower their blades into the handle in one smooth, flowing motion from gravity alone. Uuuhhhhh…….buttah… Im feeling warm just talking about it!
I use my Super Freek like a rented mule. Not a scratch on the coating yet, and that M4 is really tough. Benchmade did a fine job on the heat treating. Only sharpened mine a couple of times, and that’s my only complaint about M4. Takes a long time to get the edge I want.
Nice edges! Iam new to sharpening and starting to notice that two different steels, sharpened the same, don't come out exactly sharp. What grit do you go up to for a mirror edge?
Ya, Bugout with al- lu-min-eee-um seems to be a keeper. Me, I ended up with a Native gray with Maxamet. Luv that steel. Other is Native in cf with s90v, screaming sharp.
The bugout is the most perfect knife to carry in your pocket for sure imo. Light and blade has great stainless steel and shape. Whacking this type of knife on the spine to test the lock is just a dumb idea if you ask me. The lock is way good enough for a pocket knife. If i want a knife that i can beat the crap out of i will go with a fixed blade all day long.
I'm jealous of that M4 PM2. I have really grown fond of M4. I always new it was a great steel, but shied away from it because of the corrosion factor, and I don't like coated blades, but now that I've experienced it with my M4 Shaman, I'm in love with it. That and Cruwear are my favorites!
Great collection I share your taste in knives, I think my most carried knife is my Benchmade Osborne s30v. I like the size and the steel holds its edge good. Great video Thank You for sharing.
The CPM Cruwear is a Knifecenter exclusive. I have both the PM2 and a Para 3. The Para 3 G10 is much better than the PM2'S. The good news is that Casey Lynch pocket clip solves the Para 3's problem, and some Marbled CF solved the PM2'S problem lol. Great steel
Hey man I have a Microtech socom elite auto serial number 00187 I’m looking to trade it was safe kept and never sharpened doesn’t have a scratch on it. I’m looking to trade for something
I didn't like the bugout I handled with the FRN or G10 scales, felt chincy, i think aluminum or titanium scales would make it feel much sturdier in hand. Really like the look of the Sebenzas, haven't been able to handle one yet though.
Carl Gonzales Great question Carl! It’s probably a virtual tie between the. Benchmade 940 and Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Those two are far and away my most sharpened knives.
I love my para 3 m390 it’s slightly chippy but I still love it and my other favorite and most used is my spyderco smock this knife just took hold and held strong
It's a better slicer..much thinner bte, and better blade geometry over all, but it's really a matter of personal preference. We all have our own preferences.
@Late to the Game Oh I don't know, been collecting since I was ten years old. What triggered you, my observation about Rob's knives? Or maybe you're dyslexic .
Erik Ramaekers I like the aesthetics of traditional knives but can’t cater past the fact that most don’t have any kind of clip or locking mechanism. The worst knife injuries I have sustained shave all been with slip joints.
You are the best man alive doing knife videos.....and you are a super great man too. You are Respected! God Bless You....and your family...Sir.

The smooth G10 was a Knifecenter exc. I have the entire series..absolutely LOVE the Cruwear!

I have to agree, the Super Freek is a future hall of famer!
Great selection sir looking forward to your favourite ones. Atb paddy 👍😃☘️
I don't own a perfect knife, but my UL Bushcrafter is easily my top contender. Love that little knife.
Not mad at all. That cold steel will never die.
Guy who claimed the Bugout is overrated is the type of guy is constantly talking about lock strength and the need to baton with a folding knife.
Opinel beats the bugout
You mean the kind of guy who thinks a spine whack test is an accurate measure of lock strength?
The bugout is the most perfect knife to carry in your pocket for sure imo. Light and blade has great stainless steel and shape.

Rob you got some sure nice letter openers there..... LOL..😄
Love the machete of a blade justified as a "carving" knife. That one made me happy.
My para 3 is cruwear as well, but with grey g10. I love that steel. I'm with you on the clip. Replaced it with a lynch clip, and all is well.
I'm jealous of that M4 PM2. I have really grown fond of M4. I always new it was a great steel, but shied away from it because of the corrosion factor, and I don't like coated blades, but now that I've experienced it with my M4 Shaman, I'm in love with it. That and Cruwear are my favorites!

Happy New Year. Have blessed 2020
Cruwear rules! My favorite steel (along with Superblue and K390)
I carry my Paramilitary 2 since it came of and its still rocks

Favorite Benchmade FMO,Spyderco G-10 serrated and Stride titanium.
Spyderco’s cruwear is fantastic. Seems like they got the heat treat right and my native 5 knifecenter exclusive came laser sharp.
Hey man I have a Microtech socom elite auto serial number 00187 I’m looking to trade it was safe kept and never sharpened doesn’t have a scratch on it. I’m looking to trade for something
For ever and ever.
didn't know this guy still did videos. i remember him from like 7 years ago? cool
@Late to the Game He's about as far from creepy as it's possible to get.
@Late to the Game Did he give your favorite knife a bad review?
@Late to the Game no
@Late to the Game The guy is about as creepy as Abraham Lincoln. You're the weirdo.
I didn't like the bugout I handled with the FRN or G10 scales, felt chincy, i think aluminum or titanium scales would make it feel much sturdier in hand. Really like the look of the Sebenzas, haven't been able to handle one yet though.
Rob what do you think of greateastren knifes .do you have any .
Rickey Bullington I think I have about 60 GECs. They’re clearly the beat production traditional pocket knives in the world.
I'd like to know what's the knife that you have sharpened the most was
Carl Gonzales Great question Carl! It’s probably a virtual tie between the. Benchmade 940 and Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Those two are far and away my most sharpened knives.
Now i know what to use my smokie mountain knifeworks catalog pages for
Great video, thanks
I love my para 3 m390 it’s slightly chippy but I still love it and my other favorite and most used is my spyderco smock this knife just took hold and held strong
Thanks for the list. It would be nice if you could put the list in your order in the video description.
@theapostleP are you really carrying a bugout over the 940??? Is the modded bugout a better carry ?
It's a better slicer..much thinner bte, and better blade geometry over all, but it's really a matter of personal preference. We all have our own preferences.
Alas, this very Bugout was in my pocket far more than my 940 this year. It's so unassuming, but so perfect in so many ways...
Hello from FRANCE!, Very beautiful knives, are you left-handed?
MAX Hello there Max! Yes, I am indeed a lefty.
The whole time I wondered when you would bring the 940 into focus. What? It didn't happen. A Happy New Year, Rob, to you and the family!
Shocked me too!
Cold Steel recon 1.......unbreakable slicer
I'm kinda shocked to not have seen a waynorth lambsfoot pop up in your videos yet but I guess Rome wasn't built in a day 😂
it is un-American to put the date before the month. :)
That may be the most unpretentious selection of knives I've ever seen.
@Late to the Game Oh I don't know, been collecting since I was ten years old. What triggered you, my observation about Rob's knives? Or maybe you're dyslexic .
First also happy new year
I didnt know the OG Bugout was FRN, I thought it was plastic.
I thought a victorinox would get a mention
Traditional knives are beautiful.Most modern knives look the same and liner locks are for young people.But that' s just my opinion.
Erik Ramaekers I like the aesthetics of traditional knives but can’t cater past the fact that most don’t have any kind of clip or locking mechanism. The worst knife injuries I have sustained shave all been with slip joints.
Rob I guess you do have a greateastren knife .
My grandad has caried a buck (i don’t know witch one) for 30 year 😂 sorry for my bad english. I think it was the 112 but i am not sure
It’s probably the 110 or the 112. The 112 is just a smaller version of the 110
Go to mxggear.com get a deep carry pocket clip for that para 3 out of the after market clips these feel best in hand
Long live southpaws!
Hogue Deka > Benchmade Bugout
Must suck to be left handed man sorry
Nit bad.sttimmmmm sr8ngng and inmt7litaruan
The way you say "cpm-m4" makes me think your hopefully a traditional Catholic :)
