My uncle, rest his soul, was the cool uncle who got me my first knife, a Victorinox, and it was the best Christmas present ever. Definitely influenced my love of knives ever since.
In my opinion, keep doing what your doing as far as mentioning the price. I get it. But everyone is different. Happy holidays to DCA, Thomas, and everyone at the Knifecenter.
I have a son-in-law that needs a good mechanical knife because he is a mechanical engineer. Thus, a knife suggestion with good mechanical action and for a birthday present. Thanks for the videos!
Merry Christmas to you and Thomas, my parents got me a Buck 110 for Christmas in 1981, I still have it and I carried to school back in the day and nobody cared that all the boys carried knives. How times have changed. Best wishes to all.
$50 or less - recommended favorites: Spyderco Persistance ($46), Cold Steel Tuff Lite ($33), Ka-Bar Dozier D2 ($42). All but the Dozier can remove pocket clip.
DCA and ICE-T : y’all are doing a great job. We appreciate y’all. It’s nice not to see two hands over top of a grid mat talking about minutia. Merry Christmas and God Bless you and yours.
Another video?! That's what I'm talking about! Thanks for this consistent content to hold us over onto the new year. Hope you and everyone at KC has an amazing holidays and gets some good rest!
The Gerber LST was my first pocket knife with a clip. Gerber offered a model with a chicago screw and a pocket clip that attached through the lanyard hold. My brother in law appropriated it from me in 91 during a visit and it was his every day utility knife until sometime in the mid 2000s. When I needed a small and unobtrusive knife, I got another LST, or whatever model of the LST that was smaller than the Maglite Solitaire.
DCA, help a brother out. I'm in search of the perfect gentleman's carry. I've seen a few knives check all the boxes, yet the perfect specimen eludes me. The CRKT Flat Out with it's needle-like blade (no belly) and pure design where the blade doesn't protrude when closed is excellent. The new Civivi Clavi is a direct hit on all of the aesthetics. The extreme sheepsfoot point and minimal profile rock. If I could find something like these with more premium materials (say $350 or less), well that would be THE BEE'S KNEES. Curveball: I don't like front flippers. Make the match. I'll call her "Angel."
Hi DCA, hypothetically if you had to sell your entire knife collection and start fresh, what 3 knives would a seasoned knife collector like yourself start with?
You’re wrong. The wife knife gift is the Kershaw chive with the pink handle. I got one for my wife last year and she loves it. Great materials, not intimidating and fit perfectly in the purse inside pocket.
Alternate for the Buck 112 Slim, check out the Ka-Bar Dozier. Very light and slim, inexpensive - though there's a D2 model that still comes in under the $50 limit. Has a clip, but no reason you couldn't take that off.
knife guy butter knife: Latama Italy table set on ebay. Latama makes the finest current Italian Stilettos. nothing like grandma using Latama table ware. It's like having a Randall carving set.
Buck gets much better performance from 420HC than almost any other company, thanks to their heat treat (and maybe a higher quality base stock producer). Can't compare to the 420HC on the Gerber LST, although I do love that knife.
That Schrade Divergent was a fantastic suggestion for a fidgety starter knife for the young ones! You "pushed me over the edge" with that engraved Sparten Halsey (first class dress knife all the way), even though my Benchmade Autofact does the job very well!
Merry Christmas, Mr. Andersen, Thomas, and Seth! Thank you gentlemen for providing us with lots of sharp shiny bling, knife nerdiness, and terrible, terrible puns over the past year+.
112 slim select is a great EDC knife, I've got one already 3 year and use It every day. Good steel with the Paul Bos heat treatment. Takes a razor sharp edge
My knife actually found me a wife. She was looking at my Cold Steel Wasp and asked me, why do I spend money on that crap. I told her to F off, and long story short... We are together since
Merry Christmas DCA and Thomas. Liked your comments on the Gerber LST. I happen to have one from 30ish years ago. Carried it for years. Has the orange handle with LL Bean logo.
Knife prices get crazy sometimes. I bought a Bugout a few years ago for around $115. The same green handle/grey blade is closer to $180. I, sadly, lost it at owkr one day and have held out on replacing it because to the current pricing. The Kizer Dropbear might be a solid replacement, even if a bit heavier.
My EDC for years now has been a Benchmade Barrage. It has done me well and I love that the knife has the ability to lock closed. Between a few previous experiences with knives coming open in my pocket and the extra peace of mind it affords with kids in the house, it’s something I’ve grown to love even though it adds an extra step in the opening process. Looking to expand my collection of folders and prefer knives that have this feature. Do you have any recommendations?
DCA, I'm looking for some utensils for my job I don't like using the plastic wear that is available. I need something that is easily cleaned and stored. If it helps I don't need one that comes with a knife
Hey DCA, I was hoping you could find me a knife that has been eluding me. I am trying to find a sub 3in(maybe closer to 2.5in) knife with micarta scales and has a button or crossbar lock. My favorite knives to carry are my Kizer mini sheepdog, Malibu, and Darkform Slimfoot. Yes, I do have a type. So, bonus points if you can find it in a sheep’s foot/wharncliffe blade with a stone wash finish. Thanks
Happy Holidays, to DCA, Seth, Thomas, and all the folks at Knife Center. Thank you for all the amazing content. I am curious, is there anything that y'all are looking forward to, in the new year? Wishing y'all all the best.
That Gerber 1st knife was a exact duplicate of a Case knife I remember winning that knife with a 22 and a shotgun at a Ducks Unlimited shoot I believe it was 1990 . Merry Christmas Everyone . 🙏🏻
Heya DCA! Beat the Icon: Ontario Rat 1 or 2 My pick, Spartan Astor. Similar enough, significantly better steel, and missing the liner on one side isnt a big deal with how sturdy the G10 is.
Sharpening question: Whether I sharpen on a stone or fixed angle system, the heel always takes much longer to develop a burr. Is this common, is the thickness behind the edge thicker at the heel? Finally, is there a tip or trick to ensure the heel gets a burr more easily?
Hey DCA, can you do a video on the knives you, Thomas and the KnifeCenter team gifted to others, or received from others, this holiday season? I would love to see what knife people gift and receive! 😊
also, if your uncle sharpened a fairly wide blade like that to nothing, please get him a simple marbles strop lol unless its a texas toothpick or something, that shouldnt ever happen even if youre beating on a knife. its just people think they need something sharpened when in reality they just need the edge "realigned"
Hi DCA, I recently lost my edc knife(benchmade north fork). I have also discovered a love for hunting. Can you suggest a finger safe edc folder and complimentary fixed blade to cover the task of field dressing animals, big and small? $400 combined budget. Thank you for your fun and informative videos.
Hey D.C.A and friends, so I’m looking for for a traditional knife (slip joint or back lock) that matches my rifle. I’ve got a browning BL-22 grade 2 with maple stocks. Would love to see what you guys or other commenters come up with. Happy Holidays!
Hey DCA! Need some advice. I cut a bunch of shrink wrap at work, and it keeps sliding off of the belly of my blade. I need something with good edge retention that i can keep in my work vest. I was thinking some sort of hawkbill/claw blade, but i am open to suggestions!
I've decided the perfect size knife is 4 inches despite local laws. I carry my Spyderco milli and full size crooked river most days. What are some other options in the 4" range?
HO, HO, HO! MERRY X-MASS! :-) Now, wait a minute... I have been asking the same question for a while, now... "Where is the Cold Steel Mayhem? :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Could you do a vid on sharpening different kind of knives with a Re-Curve edge..please.!? Talk about JAC..! Cherrs DCA & Thomas. Greetings from Australia.
As a new collector of knives i am drawn to different styles colours and blade contours is there a theme that people use or is it personal preference that makes a knife collectable I come from Australia and am the only person who carries a pocket knife our law's are so strict too thank you for the great content is it possible for you to do a video that outlines future collectibles
Hey DCA. Autos will be legal in my state at the beginning of 2023. I was hoping for a recommendation of a OTF with a blade length between 2.75 and 3.25" for my EDC. UTX-85 seems to be the top contender. Are there others that I'm overlooking?
Hi DCA, big fan of those TH-cam videod for years, but not a good client of the Knifecenter, since I live in Europe. I am exeballing some exclusives that you have and a lot of those CJRB knives that are hard to get here. What is your experience with internstional shipping (time and cost) especially? Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!
What is your recommendation for a reasonably priced auto OTF knife? I have a few hogue knives (Love them) but I’m not wanting to spend over $250 for one of their OTFs. I want a good OTF that has a good stainless steel blade.
David and Thomas have a little trope thing going on; reminds me of Paradigm in a way (it's a compliment) (it's also a video game) (one is serious and the other is silly)
I'm looking for a folding lock back knife with partial serrations, and a thumb stud, a blade about 4-5 inches long. If anyone can think of a better locking mechanism let me know, I get tired of retighting my knifes, I actually use them...

Merry Christmas DCA and Thomas and all at Knife Center
My uncle, rest his soul, was the cool uncle who got me my first knife, a Victorinox, and it was the best Christmas present ever. Definitely influenced my love of knives ever since.
That was fun. I liked the use of questions and the diversity of the content, knives, jokes and the different reasons people are looking for a knife.
I like the appreciation of the knives based on a historical perspective with respect to what they are known for accomplishing and offering.
In my opinion, keep doing what your doing as far as mentioning the price. I get it. But everyone is different. Happy holidays to DCA, Thomas, and everyone at the Knifecenter.
Also, to the dude who asked about the relationship advice, can we get a follow up on how much she loved the knife for Christmas?
Thank you so much for answering my question! I think the Pyrite might be exactly what I'm looking for.
Or maybe the sencut sache ? Two Sun makes some great fidget friendly knives.
I have a son-in-law that needs a good mechanical knife because he is a mechanical engineer. Thus, a knife suggestion with good mechanical action and for a birthday present. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for picking up my question. Much appreciated. Cheese Master is headed my way. Cheers!
Merry Christmas to you and Thomas, my parents got me a Buck 110 for Christmas in 1981, I still have it and I carried to school back in the day and nobody cared that all the boys carried knives. How times have changed. Best wishes to all.
Good on DCA for not gatekeeping! We should embrace all knife carriers.
$50 or less - recommended favorites: Spyderco Persistance ($46), Cold Steel Tuff Lite ($33), Ka-Bar Dozier D2 ($42). All but the Dozier can remove pocket clip.
Merry Christmas all. There's never a bad time for cheese!
That Cheesemaster Victorinox is pretty cool. I think I found my stocking stuffer.
DCA and ICE-T : y’all are doing a great job. We appreciate y’all. It’s nice not to see two hands over top of a grid mat talking about minutia. Merry Christmas and God Bless you and yours.

Merry Christmas, DCA, Thomas, Seth and Knifecenter. DCA - hope you're getting a shape up before Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all at KnifeCenter...Been a great year watching your videos ...All the best in 2023 🙂
Thank you my prayers have been answered DCA!
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Happy holidays everyone. Gonna carry my jack wolf vampire jack this Christmas!
Merry Christmas to one and all at KnifeCenter...
Merry Christmas from Germany! Love this videos! 👋
Happy Holidays Gentlemen !
Another option for the wine and cheese: Victorinox Wine Master
Happy Holidays to all of you.
You’re wrong. The wife knife gift is the Kershaw chive with the pink handle. I got one for my wife last year and she loves it. Great materials, not intimidating and fit perfectly in the purse inside pocket.
Look at DCA with the Doctor Who reference! Love it! Merry XMAS, Knife Center!

I bought an Opinel breakfast knife. Does the job and looks the part.
Merry Christmas.

I have an original LST. This knife has 440A steel and a nail nick in the blade.

Valentines Day is coming up. Please suggest a knife for her that says "love" like no other.
Right now...like now...maybe not now when you're watching.. hahah love the vids
I love my Gerber LST
Bonus points for quoting Dr. Who! The question is though, what kind of knife would a Time Lord carry?
Merry Christmas DCA and Thomas. Liked your comments on the Gerber LST. I happen to have one from 30ish years ago. Carried it for years. Has the orange handle with LL Bean logo.
NICE Dr Who insert into the video! Merry Christmas All!
Lot's if good laughs on this vid. Thanks! "Boger" Lol.
thank u & merry christmas!
112 Slims are great. Love my Schrade Divergent. Good call.
Thank very much for your videos and the very interesting informations about new knifes. Große Unterhaltung. Merry Christmas to all of the Knife Center
The Gerber LST is a far more influential knife than anyone might think. If you own a Spyderco FRN knife, you’ve a lot to be grateful for!
Merry Christmas and keep up the good work!
Am I really the only person that remembers the Gerber Bolt Action? I absolutely adored this knife and can't find it anywhere
Happy Holidays and thanks for lots of entertainment and fun! Go' Jul!😊

i have a 112 slim carbon. Awesome knife to carry
A 112 slim is a Huuuuuuge improvement over the gerber. I have both and never use the Gerber.
Not now, but right about now, and they'll get back with you

How about the Ka-Bar Dozier for the back pocket carry to replace the gas station knives?
