My thoughts on

Well I can’t take the credit for thinking this topic up, that goes to MarineX I can however take credit for giving you a peek into my mind, a lot going on up there, and I jump topics all the time. Hopefully you can all follow my train of thought.
Let me know if you like this or even dislike it. I apparently like to talk and have a lot to say😂
Regardless of the product side of EDC, I can say that the EDC community seems to have some good people in it and it’s awesome that they share their thoughts and gear.

You make a lot of valid points. The price of EDC gear has gone through the roof. The knife makers have definitely lost their minds charging over $200 usd for D2 steel blades.
I'd like to see what budget knives you have. I enjoyed your Temu haul video. I like looking at options and budget options certainly have their place in EDC.

I do have two Ozark Trail knife videos, and in the most recent one the Gordon knife is in there as well. One nice thing about the two Gordon knives is when I close them the blade tip on both is dead center in the frame. My older and more expensive Kershaw isn’t close to centered. Thanks for watching

I liked listening to your perspective. I'm always trying to find the best intersection between use and dollar amount, and I try to identify a use before I buy most things. I don't know if you have already but have you done a video on the chart? I'm wondering what's on there in the entire video.

The fun but tough thing is trying to figure out what products you need to spend more on to get something usable, adjustable wrench comes to mind, and what is trendy. For fishing I have this figured out, it’s the pouches, knives, and slings where I am learning. I will do a video soon on the chart, and then how I cut it down to my gift idea list so I can do some more content. Glad you liked the video, it was a fun one to do.

It would help if you could boost your volume. You are soft spoken and one really has to really turn up the volume.

I noticed that too, listening to it to make sure it was ok. I will do a sound check next time,. Not sure if the microphone was partially covered or what happened. Thanks for the feedback and watching.
I realize what is happening, as I went from behind the phone to in front of the phone now, I am further from the microphone. I will work either on speaking up or figuring out a microphone to help out.

There alot of great deals on knife now a days sir just shop around and use people codes to many bags use what u have be yourself my code i try is any TH-camer name.and 15 if they work i use them have goodday sir

I will do that. First I need to figure out if D2 blade steel fits my needs or do I need a better steel. Also try to figure out if brands like Civivi are legit or if they are just good at generating TH-cam hype. I have carried pocket knives all my life, but I never dug into the topic. Just figured that a Buck knife was decent enough.
