After i modded my gayle bradley lockbar its SOOOOOO much better, i absolutely love the knife but i have a huge pet peeve with lockbar access, so it was a must in order for me to love it
The native is one of my favorite Spyderco's. I also agree a compression lock version would be awesome. I want a Spyderco Mini Khukuri with a compression lock too 🧐
Awesome top 10! It was cool to watch you go thru all of them like that! And I totally agree I think the sweet spot in the current knife market where you get the most knife for the money is between $150-$300
🤔If I had what I see on your table, certainly in my top 10 would be: 1. Benchmade 565-I🤗 2. Spyderco Native 5 S90V/fluted CF😍 3. Koenig Arius (awesome, albeit a bit too large for EDC for ne personally😶) 4. Spyderco Shaman (again, too big for EDC, but it's just one of the coolest knives ever😎) 5. Giant Mouse Ace Biblio (Burgundy please🥂) 6. Ferrum Forge Stinger📍 but to make 10 I would have to add a few of my own: 7. WE Knife Bishop🤟 8. Fox Knives TUR😁 9. Kizer (mini) Shoal🪒 10. Spyderco Sage 5LW👌 Honorable mentions would go to the Benchmade 940😎 And I'd keep the ProTech SBR concealed😱
Spyderco would make me lose my chalupa if they offered compression-lock versions of their lock-back knives...I simply HATE lock-backs, but they've got some sick knives with that ridiculous lock system I will admit! Impressive collection ya got there man!💪🇺🇸
Some weirdly named knives in the top 10. Kona Garius Them Co. 8020 Protect Mal-A-Boo Pair of Military Too Weigh Point A Scrand Danger Pickle SeaRex Pair of Three Soup Or Freek Bet my BudK Special Force knife can cut better anyhow. It's got serrations too. And a flashlight. That would be my top one. It's way better than my Vanax Shirogorov F95T or my Gen4 Style 57 Koenig Arius.
Nice video! I like this long rambling ones :) . If you ask me (you dont, but hey i want to ramble also) waypoint is the best folding edc knife ever produced. All the best Jake!
Once again, except for the pickle, and not having scored an Arius yet, my top ten of my collection are exactly the same. For me, the missing two spots are a Brian Nadeau EVO and a protech/drop/ferrum forge Mordax
Awesome wife buying you top quality knives bro! That is great to hear that more ladies are knowledgeable about awesome American knives. Does she like guns too and buy you those? It would be awesome for you. Thanks for showing your nice collection. My dad passed down to me a Benchmade gentleman's folder model so old it says benchmade with bali song inside the butterfly. It's designed by Pardue and is Ti framed with black g10 or micarta half handle scales. It predates model numbers lol. Enjoy your collection.
My budget is a bit different than yours. However, I, too, love Spydercos, my Sage 5 is my most carried, one of a few purchased at their outlet store in Golden CO this last fall. But, managed to buy a Malibu in the last several months, and it is my favorite knife I own.
My SuperFreek is my only "good" knife I have that I regret buying. I'm probably being petty, but it's because it has some blade play. It's a big deal for me because I have some knives that I paid a quarter as much for (Elementum 2, for instance) that have NONE...
Spyderco is just too good as a user. But I still prefer my benchmade 940 over any spyderco just because how fun it is to edc. Plus I want a more robust blade that will last, but spyderco has better cutters forsure!
Great video !! Nice collection !! Some really nice knives made the top 10 !! I just subbed . Take care Btw PM2 would definitely make my top 10 . Its always gonna have a special place in my heart !! Would love to have an avocado 🥑 !!
@@bryanstone7237 I also have a mini w/ Deathgrip scales, Explorer model. The extra pinky room makes it much more capable and comfortable. Ryan does great work plus he's right down the road😃
Have you ever owned any Benchmade 940s? I know everybody is on the bugout train these days but, I’d take a 940 over a bugout. Give one a try if you haven’t before. Really can’t go wrong with it.
Amazing collection! You've steered me towards some awesome knives, the Super Freek is one. I want the Yojimbo 2 or Para 2 next. What do you lean towards?
@@findyourride1171 Ok. Really hope you like the pm2. My issue with it is that the scales have no chamferring. I just don't find it comfortable in hand. Other than that, I do like it. I recently got the tanto version. But I have sold my other pm2's. If you can, reply to this comment when you get the knife and let me know what you think.
With all do respect and appreciation for the video I didn’t need to go through the long elimination process. Wish it it had been just your top 10 straight up.
You've never used a spyderco before clearly. I'm not a spyderco fan either but you cannot deny that they are excellent cutting tools and are well built. Try a para 3 lw or a para 2. It won't disappoint in performance.
@@beardedgear I know it was loaned but that oz machine Roosevelt was pretty good looking. Your review on it made me put it on my list of knives to get one day.
Me eyeballing the AD-20 👀
Haha I think a lot of people are hoping you guys do a production version of that one 😏
Will it happen now the company has been sold though?
After i modded my gayle bradley lockbar its SOOOOOO much better, i absolutely love the knife but i have a huge pet peeve with lockbar access, so it was a must in order for me to love it
Another vote for modding the lock bar haha, noted! Thanks 🙌🏻
@@beardedgear its so easy that you will be mad you didnt do it sooner, i did a video on it

10. Spyderco Sage 5LW👌

The Malibu made it further than I thought you'd put it at! Knew the para2 and arius would be high. Good video dude!
Thanks man!

Some weirdly named knives in the top 10.
Kona Garius
Them Co. 8020
Protect Mal-A-Boo
Pair of Military Too
Weigh Point
A Scrand
Danger Pickle
SeaRex
Pair of Three
Soup Or Freek
Bet my BudK Special Force knife can cut better anyhow. It's got serrations too. And a flashlight. That would be my top one. It's way better than my Vanax Shirogorov F95T or my Gen4 Style 57 Koenig Arius.
🤣🤣🤣
Out of your knives shown, my favorite is probably the Ace Grand.
Great video brother. Like the top ten from your collection. Danger Pickle coming in at #7👊👊
Thanks dude! You should do a top ten too!
Inspiring me to go through my collection and do this.... Before the Axon arrives ;)
Haha it’s kind of fun! But also difficult 🤣
Oooooo😮, a Vero Axon?😏👌🏼
@@tristandauod oh yes, the anticipation and wait are the hardest part!
Love that Tengu
I like the process. I think I might try this out myself.
An absolutely fantastic selection of knives, thanks for the video Jake 😄👍
Thanks for watching as always buddy! 🙌🏻
Nice video! I like this long rambling ones :) . If you ask me (you dont, but hey i want to ramble also) waypoint is the best folding edc knife ever produced.

that REC pm2 is so sweet
I love that knife 🙌🏻
also your wife is awesome

Love the video I really like the giant mouse and the super freak I only have 1 Spyderco but I think my next purchase will be the PM2.
I also neeeeeed one of those AD20
My grail knife is also the arius! I want one bad I just can't find one. But I will. And someone will take my money! Haha
Awesome collection!!🔥 it's interesting to get your thoughts on everything you have🤔👌🏼
Thanks man! I hope it’s insightful!
Like your choices. Mine are similar, but Hinderer needs to be high in any collection.

No TRM knives? Either way, some real gems in your collection man! My #1 pick out of your collection would def be the Arius!
I’ve had a few TRM’s and will definitely end up having more!

It's a big deal for me because I have some knives that I paid a quarter as much for (Elementum 2, for instance) that have NONE...
isnt it amazing how we spend all this money and keep coming back to the Spyderco

Zt for me

Btw PM2 would definitely make my top 10 . Its always gonna have a special place in my heart !! Would love to have an avocado 🥑 !!
Thanks man! I hope you get one 👍🏻
Tough crowd! The scorpion PM2 goes to the side??
I love the Fradon Manix 2 but still humbly put my pimped M390 Ritter grip up against anything.
I've got a mini grip with DOAT scales and flytanium screws. Love the thing! Sheep's foot blade with that opening hole is too fun
@@bryanstone7237 I also have a mini w/ Deathgrip scales, Explorer model. The extra pinky room makes it much more capable and comfortable. Ryan does great work plus he's right down the road😃
i’ve been searching for a pair of those cerberus worker3 scales for a while now, if anyone has them lmk OD green preferred
Great Video Jake!!

I spent a week with one, I’ve got a review on it, wasn’t a big fan 🤷🏼♂️
Bearded Gear that’s what makes the knife world interesting... 👍
Agreed! 🤙🏻
Nice, MB is one of my favorite dudes in this knife/gear/EDC realm (this is o_orwell from IG btw).
Yeah MB is one of the best!
Instead of the gayle Bradley u should try the Spyderco smock? 🤔great video brother!
Ive already owned a smock, I’ve got a review of it 👍🏻
Some good picks!
Some I figured and some I did not very interesting and fun to watch. Might have tondo this myself. I bet it was super hard though.
You should! I’d love to see your top ten!
What happened to the ProTech SnG... did I miss something? I thought that would be a forever knife lol.
Nah it was too pretty for this beard 🤣🤣
@@beardedgear 😲🤣🤣
Nice collection🍻
DEMKO🤤👊
It’s so good 🙌🏻
Would you be willing to sell that spyderco danger pickle?
haha found it , thanks mate :) great.
nice collection 👌🏻
Spyderco was the only brand with a repeat and you kept 4!
Indeed!
Amazing collection! You've steered me towards some awesome knives, the Super Freek is one. I want the Yojimbo 2 or Para 2 next. What do you lean towards?
If you haven’t had a PM2 you should definitely try one in my opinion.
@@beardedgear Going to take that recommendation, just wish they had your REC version still.. so good. The PM2 is next
Manix 2 is a better knife than the pm2 imo. The Shaman is even better than that.@@findyourride1171
@@abc456f I have a Manix 2 LW that I love. Maybe Shaman after the PM2?! lol PM2 is on the way!

Wow cool video!
I thought the Olamic Wayfarer would be in your collection
It was, but I sold it to fund more knives. That’s just the way it goes sometimes haha
What about the Kapara?
Lived the Kapara, but I sold it to buy more knives haha
good video
I think we could swap top 10’s and be pretty satisfied.
Mr. Toez and family.
Do.u have a kabar?
Nice vid👍
Your 9th and 10th pick are my only folders :/
Id go through my 6 knives and determine my top 3, but that's too easy.
Haha sounds like you need to pick a favorite 🤘🏻
With all do respect and appreciation for the video I didn’t need to go through the long elimination process. Wish it it had been just your top 10 straight up.
Not a Spyderco fan just feels cheap looks cheap to me so lost me when you included so many versions . Liked the rest
To each their own 🤷🏼♂️

Tell me what the knife is called at 12:00
Asher Nomad
@@beardedgear Спасибо.Tell me which knife on 9:00
Pretty sure I say what they’re called as I talk about them
@@beardedgear I do not understand English and now I am writing to you with the help of google translator
Sell a handful and buy a Shiro or Grimsmo :)
No honorable mentions?
Did you have one in mind? Lol
@@beardedgear I know it was loaned but that oz machine Roosevelt was pretty good looking. Your review on it made me put it on my list of knives to get one day.
That would have been number one if I owned that knife haha
That whole bottom row is just yummy. 🤤
Skip the long intro and it would be a good video
