I have had my Spitfire for a couple of years now and love it. It is an excellent knife for 30 bucks and made in the USA. I have had zero problems with mine to date.
My 10 year old son rocks this in straight edge orange and beats the crap out of it. Hes had it over a year. A kid using a knife tests it best believe me. They put it through everything and he loves it. Great blade
You, sir, are the G.O.A.T. Everytime I am looking for something new, exciting and up and coming, you have a video that comes out 5 years before everyone else.
I'm a Farmer and I only use small, lightweight folders carried loose in pocket all day (remove the clip immediately), I abuse them, I only buy high value knives, but I only have a few, I only buy for occupational use not for collecting/recreation. These are the types of knives I want more reviews of. Thanks and keep em coming!
I do have a high value knife collection fitting your description. My current favorite EDC is a Boker Plus AK74 auto with the AUS8 drop point blade. I cracked it open, polished all moving surfaces and re-oiled everything inside. That really helped smooth up the action and allows me to tighten it up and get a better lock-up.
Awesome KRV as usual Nutn. Thanks for the cameo! The Rat is still running strong! I might have to look into one of these Buck's though. Looks like a solid knife.
I did all the splicing at a commercial fishing company for about 3 years. those "cheap" buck knives always did better for me than anything else in that same price range. can't go wrong!
Good entry level knife. All 3 of my kids, 7,9, and 11 yoa (2 girls one boy) are interested in whittling etc. I'm just starting then out learning the basics with my own knives, including opinel. But this could be a starter knife for them when they are ready.
Love the Spitfire. I have two in my EDC rotation. Been carrying them for two+ years. Also like the RAT, Tenacious, Aegis, Vantage and many more from your reviews.
I have the same knife with the "Lew's" logo stamped on it only it has no serrations it's only a blade edge on it. Lew's is giving them away as a mail in rebate with the purchase of any of their high end reels. It's a great little fishing/ camping knife for me! Very strong lock and simple. I love mine!
I've got a blaze orange one with the serrations that I won in a bass tournament! I own many other knives as well... I use this knife often actually and it performs well! Its slim, functional and the serrations work pretty well for me. it's a knife your not afraid to ruff up. Had it for a year still holding up strong!
Love the KRV's! I have kind of come full circle in collecting. I had over 50 + high value knives before I began to liquidate the majority and move into HEC. After all owning every variation of tenacious is a little over kill. Lol About a year ago I found myself using my house keys to open some packages at work because I did not want to dirty my new xm18 and I realized, like an idiot, that I no longer owned a knife I was actually comfortable with using. So I began revisiting the high value knives searching for usable and practical edc's. After much deliberation I have found that the Manix 2, Mini Grip, Contigo and frn Cara Cara 2 are now the only knives I will regularly carry depending on my day. HEC's are only for going out, impressing friends and fondling while I am watching TV. Lol
Yes on the Hi Value Collection. I've been collecting for 50 yrs. and generally I have $50 as my limit. I do have some that are more and some that expensive but I didn't pay over $50 for them. For most of my life I've had a Buck Stockman in my pocket and a Buck 110 on my hip. Keep up the video's, I really enjoy them.
I’ve had one with fine edge for about four-5 years now and love it. I even have the mini, but it’s a little small for me. It’s alright for something when you don’t want to make a show of having a knife on your person.
count me in, bro! I have a high value collection of well over 30 and a buck spitfire is a member. not sure if you've tried but the spitfire is crazy fun to fondle! it's an awesome one hand opener, even as a back lock. great vid bro.. keep em coming....
I have purchased the Kershaw O So Sweet and the CRKT Outrage since watching your videos. I love the Outrage. Working my way up to a Benchmade or Spyderco.
Yes I have 2 cabinets packed with knives from cheap CRKT's to Microtechs, thanks for getting me hooked Nutn. Im also in a rut at the moment carrying my Recon 1 spear point.
Own the mini version of this knife. First one I got had some pretty bad lockup issues where the entire lockbar moved up and down as you would cut. Sent it back to Buck, got a new one, no problems since.
I don't have more than 30, more like 20-25, but most all of my knives are high value. I love getting great value from a knife and haven't had a need for something that costs more. I love some of the big $$ blades I just can't justify it. Looking forward to more vids in the future!
All but one of my knives are high value under $100. I don't have a big collection but it has significantly increased since becoming a TNPer. What I do have are American made Buck, Case, Leatherman or Gerber with the exceptions being Cold Steel, SOG and Victorinox. Carrying American is what I like for work but my Voyager XL is there for bigger jobs and the rest are off-work knives for light tasks. The one special knife is a one-off custom hunting knife.
Yes over 30. But Moving in up in quality last purchase was a Zero tolerance 0556CF. its a nice frigging knife. blade show in Atlanta Next week looking forward to more purchases. Good deals on hand mades.
Love the knife reviews, my collection is more between 100 and 200 bucks but i do have some cheaper knives like the RAT that you just showed. Ty for all your hard work and bringing back the KRVs
I love these high value knives and I love this Buck spitfire. I will have to pick one up eventually. I have no reason to carry a $200 Benchmade or Spyderco knife.
I don't own many knives as I am a highschooler without a job. As far as modern knives go I just have a Spyderco Resilience and it's served me well. I also like to carry my Deluxe Boy Scout Knife, purple Juice XE6, Waves, and/or a Queen Cutlery electrician's folder.
No, I don't use knives a lot but I do like to have them on me. Especially when I'm working (as a zipline guide) for emergency situations. I have a kershaw that's pretty heavy duty but I also have a spiderco that I love to use because of its lightweight.
I know you despise the weight, but I just picked up an Emerson CQC-7 and have been carrying it everyday for about a month. I love it for 2nd cool and don't see that big of a weight issue as opposed to heavier EDC items like firearms. I do own many value multi tools mainly all cadets in different color variations if that counts... Great video! Keep it up!
The best high-value knives under $50 I have found have been Kershaws. I own several of them and they are all completely satisfactory. I have felt no need to "upgrade" to more expensive knives.
I have a small collection right now.... Spyderco police stainless Spyderco Endura green Spyderco Nutn whit Para 2 Microtech ultratech clippoint Microtech LUDT red Protech godfather FDE Piranha predictor purple Cold Steel voyager large Cold Steel Espada large ColdSteel warcraft tanto medium Benchmade 940 Ashville steel paragon Im still working on getting more.... Most carried is the ultratech Endura and 940 hands down. Great vid Nutn!
High value folders = yes! Delica, tenacious, rat2, buck vantage, sog mini aegis, leek, skyline, chill. All purchased because of Nutn.... and now the spitfire 😁
yes I do, following you is a double edged sword and now I will have two more. I have a tendency to watch your vids after a couple of cocktails and I just have to have it.
No. I have a dozen knives fitting that description. I recently purchased my first Benchmade a couple of weeks ago. A mini Barrage Cabelas limited edition with blaze orange handle. I'm pretty impressed so far.
I bought one of these years ago. The first time I took it out and used it was on a plastic strap you find on some carboard boxes. It cut it, eventually. However upon closer inspection the knife's edge was literally curled over. That was the last time I would ever buy a Buck.
I still carry my Coldsteel Recon that I have had for many years which included a deployment to Afghan in 2012. The knife still has zero play during lock out and I have no reason to upgrade.
I have about 30 - 35 knives. A few over 200 most over 50. Your question prompted me to realize that, over the past few years, I have been buying more folders than fixed blades. I really hadn't noticed. Note - many of my most expensive and most used knives are kitchen - food preparation blades. I didn't count them among the 30 -35 mentioned above.
I'm kind of a Buck Fan boy, but High value EDC is where it's at for me. I mostly carry a plain Buck Vantage, but will occasionally carry my Buck slimline, which is almost the exact same as the Spitfire, with a slightly different shaped handle.
I frequently go througb streaks where i buy and carry benchmade knives and then go back to just a plain old buck bantam or some other american made low to mid price range buck knife. Their blades are just so rugged and user friendly for the price, in my opinion. My idea of an edc knife is reliability and user friendliness, in the sence that i can sharpen it a lot easier and faster than i can my s30v benchmades. I love both brands but my bucks just take the cake for me most times.
All of my knives are under $75 I own about a dozen edc folders and have been carrying a Kershaw Manifold for the last 6 months. It's all stainless and too heavy for the project but where I live I can't carry a gun so it leaves me room to carry heavier knives.
I started looking at the Ganzo's from China, $15 to $25 dollars and seam pretty good.. I have many Buck knives quality has become 50/50 .. I may try this one out..
Please more Cold Steel KRV's(Frenzy?). In the past two years I have purchased 20 knives ( 6 XL Cold Steel) all $50.00 plus. Thanks For All Your Excellent Work!!!
Yes, over 50 folders and and a little over 30 fixed blades. I only buy expensive knives if they are autos, ballisongs, or blades that are over 5 inches. Would love to see more knife reviews.
Hello Sir - I'm new to folding knives so I've been running around youtube trying to educate myself. Two things: 1 - Thank you! I love your videos. A great education in each and every one. 2 - (and almost more importantly) THANK YOU - for not Clearing your throat and Sniffing and Sniffling and Deep sighing and Smacking your lips and Swallowing (something :o) as you "think" between sentences cause you heard that "dramatic pauses" are interesting... or something... Anyway - Thank you. Anybody can Talk... few can Teach - and fewer yet can Teach Well. You are appreciated. Be well -
Buck and Case knives are great old school weapons. I carry a Case pocket knife for Utility use. A Kershaw for self defense. This Buck is something I'm probably going to buy. Thanks for the great review.
No, I do not have such a collection but I like knives and have about 20 of them, all on the "value" side. Tenacious, Skyline, Buck 110 and 112, SanRenMu and so on.
I carry both, high value and High End daily. My defensive knives tend to be higher end but my high use edc tends to be higher value. I use a Pacific Salt for my daily EDC at work along with a utility blade. Sometimes I'll have the fixed blade JX4 in my pocket. Away from work its an Emerson Commander and Karambit. Karambit set for left hand deployment. I tried a Kerahaw Shuffle and Shuffle II and they didn't work for me, total dust collectors.
Yes I have over 30, mostly useable, some showy ones, a few collectables and one or two pieces of absolute garbage that I probably bought years ago before I knew anything about knives :D. I tend to favour Cold Steel and Kershaw for my EDC along with my Leatherman Wave and Crunch (very handy for my IT work).
I do not have a high value knife collection. I have two Viper starts, had a spyderco manix 2 LW, now have a Kershaw Emerson cqc-7, and a Cold Steel XL VOYAGER. That's it man.
Nutn, you should take a look at Krudo knives. Louis Krudo's snag series is interesting and relatively inexpensive. My only complaints would be weight and learning curve for employment (I got myself a couple of times-- I should have got the trainer first). I plan on getting the Krudo Vinix next. Keep up the great work on your channel!
I still like the value stuff nutn! I been watching the knife show since 2014. I would never have purchased most of my knives without your recommendation. Btw, I think the Centafonte 3 is due for a re-review....
No, I currently have 9 folders ranging from Spyderco Salt H1 to a CRK Sebenza 21 CF I have 7 fixed blades from the likes of Esee ( Laserstrike) , Tops , KaBar BK7 and others.
Not that many knives, but I have a Spyderco Wayne Goddard Signature Model, Cold Steel SRK, Benchmade ATS-34, Gerber BMF and some assorted other knives like Swiss Army. I may have a total of 20+ knives.
No!! Unfortunately My house was broken into and they stole my knives I had. I had a bunch of different Buck/Schrade Knives. I do still have my 1 Buck 112 that is always on my belt.
I count right at 29 or 30 sub-$50 knives, not including some really cheap/crappy knives I separated out but have not yet disposed of. (I think I paid $55 for my Voyager XL, but included it in the count) If I include the knives I have made and which the material cost was under $50, then it's definitely over 30.
Great looking Buck knife except for the hook on the serration... Review your SOG Trident and how is yours holding up ? Do you have a SOG Trident in Black TiNi w/seatbelt cutter to review ? Thank you for the video ! tjl
Love your videos but Gheez, I had this knife in my cart at Amazon and then switched to the Kershaw O So Sweet based on one of your other reviews. I think you should have some sort of point system so we know which to buy. You could assign so many points for blade material, price, handle material, fit and finish. PS how can I find the video where you dump your fanny.belly bag?
Started with high value knives. I still own and appreciate them but my tastes tend to skew to the more expensive stuff. I still own a bunch of $40-$100 knives but I find myself, more often than not, carrying and enjoying my high end knives.
love the gear reviews. for me, high value is a definite criteria for edc, mainly because I'd be really pissed if I lost a 150.00 knife, let alone a 300.00 knife. for me, I can get great serviceability and quality and remain under a 50.00 price point. granted the 300.00 automatics have a high degree of second cool, but that's money I could definitely allocate to other areas of my systems. As for this Buck, it would be a maybe for me, mainly because I haven't had great luck with Buck.
Those serrations look terrible. A knife I would be interested in with a straight blade. Why do so many manufacturers make serrated blades when the vast majority of people I know prefer a straight blade?
Yes definitely over 30 blades in my collection under $50. I love finding blades that function well and I enjoy having that are inexpensive. Don't get me wrong like a bunch of tnp folks I have over 30 blades way north of a $100 as well but seem to get enjoyment from all. Just sick that way I guess a knifenut for sure. Keep up the killer krv's nutn!
My mileage - my lower priced knives tend to get much more use than the expensive ones.
I have had my Spitfire for a couple of years now and love it. It is an excellent knife for 30 bucks and made in the USA. I have had zero problems with mine to date.
vortex
Please Nutn, more KRV's! Thanks for your time and work. Much appreciated!
My 10 year old son rocks this in straight edge orange and beats the crap out of it. Hes had it over a year. A kid using a knife tests it best believe me. They put it through everything and he loves it. Great blade
More USA made budget knives please
You, sir, are the G.O.A.T. Everytime I am looking for something new, exciting and up and coming, you have a video that comes out 5 years before everyone else.

instablaster...
That's my favorite edc. Buck gives a lot of quality for the money! Underrated company in my opinion. Finally made it as a worth review.
I do have a high value knife collection fitting your description. My current favorite EDC is a Boker Plus AK74 auto with the AUS8 drop point blade. I cracked it open, polished all moving surfaces and re-oiled everything inside. That really helped smooth up the action and allows me to tighten it up and get a better lock-up.
Oh yeah this is so badass. I've been subbed for over 5 years now and your knife selections still speak to me. SICK BROOO
Keep the high value knives coming. Love the knife show, thanks for all the great videos!
Awesome KRV as usual Nutn. Thanks for the cameo! The Rat is still running strong! I might have to look into one of these Buck's though. Looks like a solid knife.
I did all the splicing at a commercial fishing company for about 3 years. those "cheap" buck knives always did better for me than anything else in that same price range. can't go wrong!
Yes, on the high value collection. My collection as a whole is mixed, high value to mid range. Bringing back the KRV. Thanks.
I used that knife for 4 years in a freight house at an airport and I love it! Beat the heck out of it and it's still going strong.
Good entry level knife. All 3 of my kids, 7,9, and 11 yoa (2 girls one boy) are interested in whittling etc. I'm just starting then out learning the basics with my own knives, including opinel. But this could be a starter knife for them when they are ready.
Love the Spitfire. I have two in my EDC rotation. Been carrying them for two+ years. Also like the RAT, Tenacious, Aegis, Vantage and many more from your reviews.
more krv's and MORE BACKPACKING TRIPS!!!! I KNOW ITS ALOT OF WORK BUT WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN TO THOSE VIDEOS
I have the same knife with the "Lew's" logo stamped on it only it has no serrations it's only a blade edge on it. Lew's is giving them away as a mail in rebate with the purchase of any of their high end reels. It's a great little fishing/ camping knife for me! Very strong lock and simple. I love mine!

This is on my list for a utility knife. I saw it a few years ago and love the slim design. I think it comes in two sizes.
I like the high value knife reviews, but it's nice to see the top shelf knives to. Keep up the great work.
count me in, bro! I have a high value collection of well over 30 and a buck spitfire is a member. not sure if you've tried but the spitfire is crazy fun to fondle! it's an awesome one hand opener, even as a back lock. great vid bro.. keep em coming....
I have purchased the Kershaw O So Sweet and the CRKT Outrage since watching your videos. I love the Outrage. Working my way up to a Benchmade or Spyderco.
So far i'm loving this knife..been planning to buy 1 more..
Saw spideys in the store the other day that include a zip tie type thing for pocket deployment.... Nutnfancy making waves in the industry!
Yes I have 2 cabinets packed with knives from cheap CRKT's to Microtechs, thanks for getting me hooked Nutn. Im also in a rut at the moment carrying my Recon 1 spear point.
Own the mini version of this knife. First one I got had some pretty bad lockup issues where the entire lockbar moved up and down as you would cut. Sent it back to Buck, got a new one, no problems since.
I don't have more than 30, more like 20-25, but most all of my knives are high value. I love getting great value from a knife and haven't had a need for something that costs more. I love some of the big $$ blades I just can't justify it. Looking forward to more vids in the future!
Still lovin the high value blades. RAT 1 is still one of my faves. Looking to get the new D2 version soon.
I have carried my Spitfire for a long time. Love it.
All but one of my knives are high value under $100. I don't have a big collection but it has significantly increased since becoming a TNPer. What I do have are American made Buck, Case, Leatherman or Gerber with the exceptions being Cold Steel, SOG and Victorinox. Carrying American is what I like for work but my Voyager XL is there for bigger jobs and the rest are off-work knives for light tasks. The one special knife is a one-off custom hunting knife.
Yes on high-value options, haven't jumped to the high-end carry, thanks for the KRVs!
Yes over 30. But Moving in up in quality last purchase was a Zero tolerance 0556CF. its a nice frigging knife. blade show in Atlanta Next week looking forward to more purchases. Good deals on hand mades.
Love the knife reviews, my collection is more between 100 and 200 bucks but i do have some cheaper knives like the RAT that you just showed. Ty for all your hard work and bringing back the KRVs
I love these high value knives and I love this Buck spitfire. I will have to pick one up eventually. I have no reason to carry a $200 Benchmade or Spyderco knife.
I don't own many knives as I am a highschooler without a job. As far as modern knives go I just have a Spyderco Resilience and it's served me well. I also like to carry my Deluxe Boy Scout Knife, purple Juice XE6, Waves, and/or a Queen Cutlery electrician's folder.
No, I don't use knives a lot but I do like to have them on me. Especially when I'm working (as a zipline guide) for emergency situations. I have a kershaw that's pretty heavy duty but I also have a spiderco that I love to use because of its lightweight.
I know you despise the weight, but I just picked up an Emerson CQC-7 and have been carrying it everyday for about a month. I love it for 2nd cool and don't see that big of a weight issue as opposed to heavier EDC items like firearms. I do own many value multi tools mainly all cadets in different color variations if that counts... Great video! Keep it up!
Got a few buck knives, love em....they work....thanks for the excellent review
The best high-value knives under $50 I have found have been Kershaws. I own several of them and they are all completely satisfactory. I have felt no need to "upgrade" to more expensive knives.
my first knife was a Buck Vantage small I've recently bought a benchmade mini grip and that's what I'm using right now
And they have some great options now! Pretty sweet.
I don't have that large of a collection, but every knife I own (and I love them all) are in the $30-50 range.
Love Buck!!! Customer service is great!
I have a small collection right now....
Spyderco police stainless
Spyderco Endura green
Spyderco Nutn whit Para 2
Microtech ultratech clippoint
Microtech LUDT red
Protech godfather FDE
Piranha predictor purple
Cold Steel voyager large
Cold Steel Espada large
ColdSteel warcraft tanto medium
Benchmade 940
Ashville steel paragon
Im still working on getting more....
Most carried is the ultratech Endura and 940 hands down. Great vid Nutn!
High value folders = yes! Delica, tenacious, rat2, buck vantage, sog mini aegis, leek, skyline, chill. All purchased because of Nutn.... and now the spitfire 😁
Hey Nutn! 15 - 20 knives, mostly high value. Pm2 / DPX HEST combo is still my fave; just can't shake it!
yes I do, following you is a double edged sword and now I will have two more. I have a tendency to watch your vids after a couple of cocktails and I just have to have it.
No. I have a dozen knives fitting that description. I recently purchased my first Benchmade a couple of weeks ago. A mini Barrage Cabelas limited edition with blaze orange handle. I'm pretty impressed so far.
I bought one of these years ago. The first time I took it out and used it was on a plastic strap you find on some carboard boxes. It cut it, eventually. However upon closer inspection the knife's edge was literally curled over. That was the last time I would ever buy a Buck.
hows the vertical play when it's open?
I bought one a while back and it flexed pretty heavily, returned it for another and it did the same
A kershaw cqc 6k, a lightning otf, an Opinel (one of my favorites), a gerber instant are some of my high value knives.
KRV! KRV! KRV! Thanks Nutn! My favorite part of your channel.
I still very much enjoy high value knives, the Victorinox Recruit has been my EDC knife for nearly 20 years.
I still carry my Coldsteel Recon that I have had for many years which included a deployment to Afghan in 2012. The knife still has zero play during lock out and I have no reason to upgrade.
I have about 30 - 35 knives. A few over 200 most over 50. Your question prompted me to realize that, over the past few years, I have been buying more folders than fixed blades. I really hadn't noticed. Note - many of my most expensive and most used knives are kitchen - food preparation blades. I didn't count them among the 30 -35 mentioned above.
I have the plain blade version and I love it thank you for the great review
I'm kind of a Buck Fan boy, but High value EDC is where it's at for me. I mostly carry a plain Buck Vantage, but will occasionally carry my Buck slimline, which is almost the exact same as the Spitfire, with a slightly different shaped handle.
Love the Buck Reaper and Gerber Strongarm both under $50 but I only own 10 or so knives
No on the poll, but I'm definitely interested in more reviews of high value guns, knives, lights, watches, etc.
Thanks!
I frequently go througb streaks where i buy and carry benchmade knives and then go back to just a plain old buck bantam or some other american made low to mid price range buck knife. Their blades are just so rugged and user friendly for the price, in my opinion. My idea of an edc knife is reliability and user friendliness, in the sence that i can sharpen it a lot easier and faster than i can my s30v benchmades. I love both brands but my bucks just take the cake for me most times.
Will the benchmade hold up if it hits bone. Spring mechanisms seems kind of flimsy
All of my knives are under $75 I own about a dozen edc folders and have been carrying a Kershaw Manifold for the last 6 months. It's all stainless and too heavy for the project but where I live I can't carry a gun so it leaves me room to carry heavier knives.
I started looking at the Ganzo's from China, $15 to $25 dollars and seam pretty good.. I have many Buck knives quality has become 50/50 .. I may try this one out..
Please more Cold Steel KRV's(Frenzy?). In the past two years I have purchased 20 knives ( 6 XL Cold Steel) all $50.00 plus.
Thanks For All Your Excellent Work!!!
Yes, over 50 folders and and a little over 30 fixed blades. I only buy expensive knives if they are autos, ballisongs, or blades that are over 5 inches. Would love to see more knife reviews.
Hello Sir - I'm new to folding knives so I've been running around youtube trying to educate myself.
Two things:
1 - Thank you! I love your videos. A great education in each and every one.
2 - (and almost more importantly)
THANK YOU -
for not Clearing your throat and Sniffing and Sniffling and Deep sighing and
Smacking your lips and Swallowing (something :o) as you "think" between sentences
cause you heard that "dramatic pauses" are interesting... or something...
Anyway - Thank you.
Anybody can Talk... few can Teach - and fewer yet can Teach Well.
You are appreciated.
Be well -
Buck and Case knives are great old school weapons. I carry a Case pocket knife for Utility use. A Kershaw for self defense. This Buck is something I'm probably going to buy. Thanks for the great review.
Buck and case are high value WEAPONS? As in designed to be utilized to damage another person? Wtf?
Case and Buck make great high value TOOLS.
No, I do not have such a collection but I like knives and have about 20 of them, all on the "value" side. Tenacious, Skyline, Buck 110 and 112, SanRenMu and so on.
I carry both, high value and High End daily. My defensive knives tend to be higher end but my high use edc tends to be higher value.
I use a Pacific Salt for my daily EDC at work along with a utility blade. Sometimes I'll have the fixed blade JX4 in my pocket.
Away from work its an Emerson Commander and Karambit. Karambit set for left hand deployment.
I tried a Kerahaw Shuffle and Shuffle II and they didn't work for me, total dust collectors.
Yes, LoneWolf (Benchmade) Landslide (with Penial pocket clip), Benchmade Triage, Victorianox Swisstool, Maglite 2AA Minimag,
I have the plain edge 721 and it's a great little blade
I used to have a lot of cheap knives, but as I progressed o sold them and gave them away. Now I carry either my sebenza or my XM-18.
Yes I have over 30, mostly useable, some showy ones, a few collectables and one or two pieces of absolute garbage that I probably bought years ago before I knew anything about knives :D. I tend to favour Cold Steel and Kershaw for my EDC along with my Leatherman Wave and Crunch (very handy for my IT work).
It was good seeing Kevin with his Ontario RAT 1 knife.
I do not have a high value knife collection. I have two Viper starts, had a spyderco manix 2 LW, now have a Kershaw Emerson cqc-7, and a Cold Steel XL VOYAGER. That's it man.
Nutn, you should take a look at Krudo knives. Louis Krudo's snag series is interesting and relatively inexpensive. My only complaints would be weight and learning curve for employment (I got myself a couple of times-- I should have got the trainer first). I plan on getting the Krudo Vinix next. Keep up the great work on your channel!
Yes, I collect high value knives. I only have four knives outside of $50 but one IS the TR-3!
I still like the value stuff nutn! I been watching the knife show since 2014. I would never have purchased most of my knives without your recommendation. Btw, I think the Centafonte 3 is due for a re-review....
No, I currently have 9 folders ranging from Spyderco Salt H1 to a CRK Sebenza 21 CF
I have 7 fixed blades from the likes of Esee ( Laserstrike) , Tops , KaBar BK7 and others.
Not that many knives, but I have a Spyderco Wayne Goddard Signature Model, Cold Steel SRK, Benchmade ATS-34, Gerber BMF and some assorted other knives like Swiss Army. I may have a total of 20+ knives.
I have the LL Bean orange version of this. I carry it often!
I have few knives for EDC - Rainbow Leek give when they first came out gifted by my wife, I have more in the kitchen and Gerber Guardian in my BOB
No!! Unfortunately My house was broken into and they stole my knives I had. I had a bunch of different Buck/Schrade Knives. I do still have my 1 Buck 112 that is always on my belt.
I count right at 29 or 30 sub-$50 knives, not including some really cheap/crappy knives I separated out but have not yet disposed of. (I think I paid $55 for my Voyager XL, but included it in the count)
If I include the knives I have made and which the material cost was under $50, then it's definitely over 30.
Great looking Buck knife except for the hook on the serration... Review your SOG Trident and how is yours holding up ? Do you have a SOG Trident in Black TiNi w/seatbelt cutter to review ? Thank you for the video ! tjl
I love the green handle one.
My manix 2 lightweight in s110v needs resharpening, where can you gear check me at lol
Love your videos but Gheez, I had this knife in my cart at Amazon and then switched to the Kershaw O So Sweet based on one of your other reviews. I think you should have some sort of point system so we know which to buy. You could assign so many points for blade material, price, handle material, fit and finish. PS how can I find the video where you dump your fanny.belly bag?
Beautiful EDC.. Thanks for the info.
Started with high value knives. I still own and appreciate them but my tastes tend to skew to the more expensive stuff. I still own a bunch of $40-$100 knives but I find myself, more often than not, carrying and enjoying my high end knives.
love the gear reviews. for me, high value is a definite criteria for edc, mainly because I'd be really pissed if I lost a 150.00 knife, let alone a 300.00 knife. for me, I can get great serviceability and quality and remain under a 50.00 price point. granted the 300.00 automatics have a high degree of second cool, but that's money I could definitely allocate to other areas of my systems. As for this Buck, it would be a maybe for me, mainly because I haven't had great luck with Buck.
Those serrations look terrible. A knife I would be interested in with a straight blade. Why do so many manufacturers make serrated blades when the vast majority of people I know prefer a straight blade?
you should look at WE knife co. Mostly HEC products but their g10 knives come in at 100 with D2. dang good knives for the money.
for my EDC knives I switch off between a spyderco manix 2 lightweight and a spyderco salt 1. both with plain edge.
Yes definitely over 30 blades in my collection under $50. I love finding blades that function well and I enjoy having that are inexpensive. Don't get me wrong like a bunch of tnp folks I have over 30 blades way north of a $100 as well but seem to get enjoyment from all. Just sick that way I guess a knifenut for sure. Keep up the killer krv's nutn!
