I appreciate that DCA is such an out of the box thinker. The question asking for a knife for work at a farmers market could have been given little thought if not for DCA's investigative and thoughtful attitude. Great work
Throwing in big Lebowski references? Now it's official, you're the best knife related channel on TH-cam.😁
Every comic knows you have to keep grinding in order to hone your craft.
By far my favorite TH-cam channel. I can literally binge watch KC videos. Even ones I have already seen. My taste in knives is expanding so I am rewatching older videos to catch whatever I disregarded earlier in my knife life. I fell in love with my CRKT SPEW that I accidentally discovered at a big box store, and started researching the Wharnie, sheepsfoot, cleavers & reverse tanto blades. Discovered Mike Emler & his Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake 🐍 and the rest is history.
Thank you so much for the awesome swag in my recent order! Uploading the unboxing video now.
I love 14c28n, takes a screaming edge with traditional or diamond abrasives. Easy to sharpen, easy to modify, easy to maintain
I'm with you Cam👍
@@daveyboy6985 Thank you
And on top is just great value for money - good steel for a good price!!
14c28n is by far my favorite budget steel. It and nitrov are just so versatile
completely agree. very tough, very easy to sharpen and can take a very sharp edge.
Hey DCA!
I'm looking for a specific knife and hope you can help. Below are my desired criteria:
- sharpened blade length between 1.5 and 1.52 inches
- I don't want it to lock, but it needs to be physically unable to be closed until a certain function (such as a button, part of the liner, or other mechanism) is engaged.
- I need it to double as a garden trowel, pickaxe, caribiner, machete, dog doo scooper, and I'd like to use it for food prep. I'll be using it for my job as a gardening rock climbing jungle exploring dog walking old-timey prospector chef.
-non-metal steel only please.
-The handle should be made from synthetic material, but nothing man-made.
-my budget is $7 and some Tic Tacs I just found in the couch.
I'm not sure why this knife has been so elusive thus far, but I'm expecting you to come up with the perfect solution without any real effort as always. Thanks!
This is hilarious. Lmao
Love these installments you learn a lot and DCA is always a hoot. With the added bonus of an occasional unexpected Thomas thrown in there, can't beat it.
For my wedding i carried a buck 110. Timeless design, affordable and capable.
To castrate yourself?
My Favorite knives Channel,Saying hi to Camera man Thomas and David the Goat Knives 🔥👌💯👍💪🐐🐐🐐
I own the two first knives and I highly recommend them both!
Great combo recommendation for that groom, nice touch!
A nice blue knife for the wedding is the We Knives Kitefin with the blue scales. It's really nice and looks even better in person than on video
WE Banter in blue. Light weight and perfect in size.
For Forrest Farris: What about a small fixed-blade? Schrade and Cold Steel have several models which are under 3.5", stainless, ambidextrous, and very easy to clean when covered in sticky juices. The only folder I'd recommend is the Opinel Inox, which is equally usable for left and right-handers.
Ontario also makes a fruit and vegetable knives for this purpose that are very inexpensive $10 range
I have that Civivi knife you are holding there. It's a great knife and you're right it does take a great edge.
Get all CRKT knives for yourself and your bestmen and use the money saved having the blades engraved with something meaningful
Andrew Bradshaw: I carried a Boker Plus Brad Zinker Urban Trapper Gentleman's Flipper Knife, Damascus Blade, Cocobolo Wood Handles, and bought one for my best friend. Boker’s lineup has cheaper “less fancy” alternatives for groomsmen as well. It’s a special knife for a special day, and right in your price point. Take a look, and congrats.
Very good!!! Keep the music! Thank you DCA!!👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯🎼🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶😃😃
First time ever that DCA and I agree on a knife for a subscriber. Caribbean, is hard to argue against for any task!
Thanks for the simple breakdown of arrpm9. I've been thinking of getting a knife with it
Ahhh I see you have a Caribbean on the table DCA! One of my most used folding knives. It doesn’t leave my kitchen. I bought it to carry in the winter as my pocket knives are exposed to very corrosive environments. But it made its way into my kitchen and I can’t fathom being without it in my kitchen now!
I was slicing onions with my Caribbean the other day and my wife says "you know we have knives right?" I looked at her, looked at the knife in my hand, looked back at her and said "but this is the perfect knife for slicing onions". I want to pick up the Spydiechef next, it looks to have better handle clearance for working on the cutting board.
4116 and 420HC would be my picks. Holds an edge well enough, virtually impervious to corrosion, easy to sharpen.
I've been using 154cm or 440c for a daily and vg10 for the kitchen the last few years. great stuff that also holds a hell of an edge
Oddball suggestion for the wax boxes/fruit slicing knife- a large Case Trapper. Most people think of slip joints as the epitome of unsafe folding knives, but in my experience with those models the spring tension is such that the blade won’t clap shut on you until it’s already more than 50% folded shut. The reason I recommend it, though, is because one blade could be used for the boxes, and the other for the fruit. Most traditional folders have very thin blade stocks, so they are suited for slicing tasks. Plus, Case Trappers are all a hundred bucks, I believe. And you’d totally blend in with a more traditionally-minded crowd, if that’s a consideration.
Haha, if I walked up to a food establishment and the person behind the counter was using a folding knife to prep food, I would turn around and walk away. :)
HA! "Really ties the room together"
The dude and his knives abide:)
Wedding knife suggestion: Finch 1929
For the farmers market job I’d go with a fixed blade because it’s much easier to clean when dealing with food, look at the Gerber Principle it’s $62 bucks.
I had the CRKT CEO and really enjoyed it. Nice knife all around. Lost it sadly. Actually lost that knife five times in a month. Found it four times. Something about the pocket clip. The only pocket clip knife that I’ve ever lost.
My wedding knife was gold plated Leek.
Wtf is a "wedding knife" ?!?!
@@thefrogking481 like an edc knife but instead of everyday, it’s for one day, your wedding
My favorite steel is 80CrV2. So easy.
hey DCA. safe way to get your fingers out of the way for backlocks is to use your index finger to press the mid mounted back lock. rest the butt of the knife onf the soft of the thumn. 4 fingers - thumb, middle, ring, and pinky gripping the knife, then flick close as you would a compression lock.. hope that helps. :-)
All the old 2-handed closers are good for finger safe. The Buck 112, or Opinel for instance. But if you want a more modern looking knife, with one handed opening, I'd use Knifecenter's search feature. Filter by "button lock" and the budget you want. I'd personally look at the Kizer Swaggs Swayback. There's a button lock version on their website. $60, 2.99 inch blade, N690 (midrange) steel. Button locks aren't technically ambidextrous, but in practice lefties rarely have problems using them. HTH.
Always an entertaining show gentlemen.! Cowabunga.!
I recently purchased my first OTF and I’m curious on the correct way to oil/lube the knife… does it need to be disassembled every time to oil or can you add a few drops to the blade? Any tips would be appreciated! If it matters the knife is a Boker Lhotak
For Forrest Farris I would suggest the UK Penknife in LC200N. You'd have to switch the clip to the other side but it seems to touch all the bases. Just under $100 so it's not cheap but not expensive. Slipjoint so minimal finger danger. I've got one as a fishing knife and I really like it.
Been asking about a good seax repeatedly, and the only time it graces the camera is for a pun spot they didn't even Do. Just my luck lol
Cold Steel Woodsmans seax. I got one at Christmas, it's awesome.
For farmers market EDC. TJ Shwarz overland custom fixed blade in magnacut is your best option
I've been looking for a good multitool for under a $100 that will be good for my camping kit. Thanks guys!
Hey DCA. How can I get a deep carry clip for my KC exclusive swayback? Does it share a hole pattern with another common knife? Thanks
That ceo compact is a nice lil knife. I wish someone would make aftermarket scales for it. The blue finish starts wearing off literally within a week of being in the pocket.
Spyderco kapara or ikuchi for the farmers market job would be awesome and can be trained to use left handed.
Hey DCA, how bout the Spyderco Para 3 lightweight in BD1N steel? Sub 3 inch blade, stainless, finger safe mechanism and washers in the pivot.
Hi David. I have a set of wood-handled kitchen knives we received as a wedding present in 1985. While we were away, our house sitter put several of them in the dish washer, repeatedly. The steel was unaffected but as you can probably imagine, I now have some loose scales rattling around on their tangs. Can these be fixed? Thanks!
For the very stainless needle in the hay stack look at the Para3 lightweight in spy27. I'm a carpenter and rust every blade but that hasn't showed any hint of tarnish yet.
The background music is great!
For the farmer market, the Buck Spitfire or the CJRB Maileah.
I would go with the suggestion for buying the extra paring knife: right tool for the right job and looks more professional than using a folder in front of customers. That was a well thought out tip about getting something food safe.
As for true stainless, professional chefs, some who use high carbon steel chef knives like aogami super, keep a tea towel nearby to wipe down their knives after every cut so that oxidation is not an issue. Again, it's about being food safe and taking care of your tools.
I would have suggested a knife the Knife Center showcased during their interview with CRKT at the Blade Show a few weeks back: the CRKT Stickler with 3.38 inch blade. The knife is apparently modeled after a melon tester knives.
I can’t believe people carry knives at their weddings!!! Greetings from N.Z.
Besteck Swordfish as a fix blade? Hello DCA, Thank you for all the work you put into the channel! I really like the Bestech Swordfish, I like the shape of the blade, the ergonomics of the handle, and the blade to handle ratio. But I would want a fix blad version.
To my knowledge Bestech do not make a fix blade version, do you have a suggestion for another fix blade that comes close, preferably 4 to 4.5 inch blade length. Thanks in advance!
QUESTION.. What makes the best sheath material? Leather , Kydex, plastic or other. Could you give the pros and cons ? Thanks!
DCA I need a knife to carry at my own funeral. I think I will be wearing a suit but I'm not sure what color. I was thinking about something with wood scales to match my coffin. Price is not a concern because well, I'll be dead. Any suggestions?
Definitely the carcass splitter.
Bowie with a coffin-shaped handle.
Hi David and team. I love KniFAQ, thank you! How do you sharpen your machetes? Is a belt grinder the quickest and easiest way? Thank you!
I usually use a river rock. Works great
Your recent video on Benchmade Bugout alternatives got me thinking. How strong are button locks compared to crossbar locks or liner locks? I can only think of three knife companies that make button locks: Kizer, Civivi, and CKRT. Are there any more?
DCA, how does the SAK Outrider model compare to the Trekker? Thanks
That clip of Eric Glessar is funny cause I learned that trick from seeing him in a video doing it. Unlocking my k390 delica and using my finger to stop the blade, he often does it and I started doing it from seeing him. I’ve never seen that “cut” video
When the situation had come up about the groom who wanted a nice, small knife those parameters I has first thought of the Cjrb Ria! Figured he could get the 12c27 version in blue for cheap or for some more class he could get the KC Exclusive version (S35vn in denim micarta) or the carbon fiber version.
Great, Thanks'
Hello Knife Center! This may seem like a strange request...but...are there one-hand-open-knives (flippers, button lock, thumb studs, etc) that lock closed? By that I mean knives that require that I push a button or slide a latch to allow the knife to open. It can be an uncomfortable surprise while fishing around in your pocket to find that the detent on your pocket knife was not quite strong enough to keep it closed. Other than that I'm looking for a flat ground blade in pretty good steel (NitroV is my current favorite) and not too long (2.5"-3" or so). Thank you!
hey dca I do a lot of fishing and I'm looking for a folding edc that is good to fillet fish with but also good for everyday tasks. want to limit the amount of knives I take on vacation. just want to take my ria, my minimalist and one more looking for a budget option under $50. what would u recommend? thanks
A steel you can het really sharp and Berry easy is the 420Hc of Buck with the Paul Bos heat threat, It is cheap, you get a really good edge and It holds it's esge reasonable good for the price
What is considered good detent for a locking knife and why is it so important to have a drop shut action on a quality folder?
Hey DCA, how do you decide when it’s time to sharpen/clean your knives? Do you sharpen a knife right when you get it or do you use the factory edge till it’s not performing to your standards? Thanks and love the content! Also for the guy who needs a knife for the farmers market, Pacific Salt 2 in LC200N
@The Fart Of General Zod Good advice. Stropping often will keep that edge sharp a lot longer.
Hi DCA and Thomas.
I live in Denmark, but have started to take an interest in knives.
i want to start a collection but where to start and what "strategy" for the future?
in Denmark it is illegal to have folding knives that can be opened with one hand.
I like fixed blades, but folding knives are also of interest. some thoughts ?
Witch one is good for hunting mushrooms? I like the little ones.
Hi, DCA. I haven't found a review of the Kizer Vanguard Converse with tanto 154CM and jade G10 scales. It seems to me that it's an amazing deal ATM. Do you think you could review it? Thanks. Fantastic videos, BTW!
Hey DCA, I'm a desk worker and often tend to fidget around with stuff. What is the most fidgety knife you'd pick to flick around sitting at your home office desk? Thanks!
I've heard of shotgun weddings, knife weddings, funny, something you can cut the cake with
What about the Spyderco SpydieChef for food prep?
Want a SHAP knife...?
Get the Lansky Diamond Sharpening system; and also the leather strop attachment.
Hair popping on any knife; 4 useful angle guides; mirror polish.
I've learned from my mistakes. Hope this helps someone.
I need a knife with good build, American designed and made, and easy to sharpen and full stainless. Any recommendations
Hey DCA. I'm a hotel GM and therefore find myself doing small repairs out on my property when my maintenance guy is off. Usually it's just tightening something down that has become loose. I love the thought of a small multitool, but due to medication I have to take, I have brittle nails. That means all of the multi tools that have knife knicks as opening mechanisms I can't use. I don't need anything major just something with a screwdriver and maybe a pair of pliers. Any recommendations?
Lionsteel & MKM both have a number of really good looking (and good quality) gents/groomsman/wedding etc. knives. The Italians really know how to design a beautiful knife. OMHO - They cost a bit but for a special knife are worth it. DCA - always love hearing your knowledge on knife steels. Too much information is still not enough.
I'd add Fox to that list as well. There's just something a little different about Italian designed knives, and the cost isn't even that bad considering how many $300+ knives we're seeing out of China these days.
@@arrowheadguys7637 100%. I love their co-labs with Jesper Voxnaes!! Have a great day.
Hey DCA! Can you help me find a sheepsfoot/wharncliff knives with a 3.25+ inch blade and a *little* bit of belly around or below the $70 mark? Thanks a million
Hi DCA 👋
Lately I've been enjoying using a small GEC fixed blade as part of my edc. I would like to add something on Magnacut for that same role, Im looking for something with micarta scales that i could also sometimes use as a small light duty camp blade.
Any suggestions?
They don't have any fixed blades in Magnacut right now. Not many production level knives using it yet because companies typically order steel 6-12 months in advance. Best bet at the time for a Magnacut fixed blade would be a custom if you can find one.
You might look around and see if you can find a Dogwood Customs Cub. I picked one up from KC in Magnacut that they brought back from blade show. They had a few but unfortunately I think they sold them all.
@@arrowheadguys7637 thanks, ill see what i can find 👍
Question: the perfect knife / 2-3 knives for a cocktail bar and cocktail prep. Don’t want them to match but be a cool eclectic mix. Should look good next to bottles of whisky and rum. Wood handle or gentlemanly would be nice!
MKM Malga
For Farmer's market I was thinking a Spyderco Salt with no serrations. Or even a stainless Opinel.
Hey DCA,
hope you guys are doing well.
Want to buy White River Knives M1 Pro Backpacker Fixed Blade Knife 3.25" S35VN Stonewashed, Textured Black G10 Handles, Kydex Sheath - WRM1-TBL
But must be preordered and Im kind of in a Hurry for it.
Is there other options with similar characteristics (for about same price range). S35VN, Fixed blade but slim profile with a decent grip (specially for when its wet/muddy), Hardshell sheath (like kydex/Plastic) is a big plus. It will be used for skinning mainly (Boars)...
Rate stainless by stainlessness please and thank you. Many weeds will be in need.
What's with the seax?
Hey D. C. A. !
I would like to see the best throwing knives. Thank you.
Man when are y’all gonna get the blue sedulos back in stock?
Any recommendations for a flipper knife with finger safe closing? I am aware of the Benchmade Arcane, but I would prefer a non-assisted knife.
Many many button lock flippers, or the SOG Terminus XR -DCA
Hi DCA. I would like to hear your recommendation for a knife to carry while mountain biking. pPreferably something with a lock so that when, not if, I crash I do not stab myself. Thanks a lot and love your videos. Also the lighter the better and I already have a Kershaw leak :)
Opinels are very light and can lock closed
Hey DCA. I hear you express your appreciation for 14C28N quite often, but when I used the Real Steel Bushcraft in that steel, the sharp spine was marred/torn up so badly after two of three scrapes over a fire steel I have no confidence in the knife as a dependable tool. Is it normal for this steel? Is it normal for the spine to get that torn up that quickly? My Lionsteel B35 has scraped 10-20 times more ferro rod and shows no damage at all... I am new to bushcraft and am trying to develop proper expectations on steels and knife durability...
Honestly I would consider that normal. I have experienced spine degradation from every knife I have used as a striker... 12C27, 14C28N, A2, O1, S30V... never tried it on Sleipner specifically though. -DCA
So, I have a mini griptillian and a standard size both in 154cm. Both are probably 8+ years old. Both are VERY hard use knives. I'm thinking about replacing them with a newer combo. I'm a farmer/mechanic/welder/always outdoors type of guy. Definitely not scared to break or beat on a tool to get the job done. I'm a decent hand sharpener but not interested in something that requires a machine to sharpen the knives. Thanks for any recommendations. With the great luck I've had with Benchmade, I'd be interested in them first.
Not sure if you want a matching set, but Benchmade makes large and smaller versions of a lot of knives, so you're in luck there. Freek, Bugout, Osborne, and Crooked River.
If you don't mind a mix matched set I would suggest a Super Freek and Mini-Osborne or a full size Osborne and a Mini-Bugout.
Hi DCA. What would you recommend for a collectable knife that would gain value over time?
Anything with a limited production run and a serial number is a good bet. Also sprint runs with limited numbers that are likely to not get made again.
hey DCA what knife would Mad Max use?
My personal steel preferences are 3V & Cru-Wear for fixed blades, Vanadis 8 & 10V for folders. Magnacut for everything you want stainless.
No M4?
@@arrowheadguys7637 I love m4 and 4v too, but they get me generally the same performance as magnacut but without the stainless factor. Hence magnacut. But they are next on my list if the others I mentioned aren't an option for whatever reason
@@slywolfe Ah gotcha. I've just started using Magnacut so I haven't quite formed an opinion on where it ranks among the top for me, but my top 3 currently are CruWear, M4 and 3V
@@arrowheadguys7637 we have the same taste it sounds like haha
If you haven't already I highly recommend checking out knife steel nerds blog and Larrin Thomas's TH-cam videos 👌
@@slywolfe Oh yeah I keep up to date with them. Knowing the specs is a good start, but until I get enough use on a knife I try not to form too much of an opinion on it
Hey DCA and Thomas, I recently picked up my first D2 blade. What product(s) do you recommend for lubricating and cleaning?
I've never oiled any of my D2 knives. Just keep them clean and dry.
If you are worried about corrosion, it probably isn't going to be an issue unless you are in a very humid environment or using it near the ocean. In that case, I would recommend Ballistol.
Hey, i am from india here not many people buy knives so its very hard to get hands on any bushcraft or any type of knife. However, swiss army knives are available but are very pricy due to inflation and conversion rates. I bought 'Sika 90 Grip Fixed Knife Black' and 'Axis 85 Folding Knife Black' of solognac brand from Decathlon. Could you review them and tell if they are any good or not? Also if you could suggest any bushcraft camping knifes both foldable and fixed blade available in India?

Best kitchen Chefs knife under $100. I want it to hold a edge for as long as possible. I don't care if it's stainless or not. Thanks
Hello DCA, I am looking at purchasing a larger folder (Kizer Sheepdog XL) that I prefer not to carry in my front jeans pocket, where I usually keep them. I am wanting to carry in my back pocket, but I am concerned about the pocket clip damaging our couch or truck seats. Any suggestions?
I just got my first rat 1 about a week ago, it's as good as everyone says. I just put it in my back pocket after I read your comment and it fits easily (I'm even wearing slacks or some type of golf pants from Costco so the pocket is pretty small.) It's also pretty comfortable to sit on, I have it pushed all the way to the outside of the pocket and it's not bothering me at all while I write this. The pocket clip doesn't stick up too much and it's pretty wide so I don't feel like it would catch on things too much. It's actually one of my favorite pocket clips because it goes in and out so smooth. It's a pretty big knife though, it's right on the edge for me to where I may only carry it camping instead of for work, but you said big. Love the Rat 1. Civivi elementum button lock is pretty big too, but I would be nervous to always be sitting on a button lock. I have fallen asleep with the button lock in my pocket a couple of times and it never opened so it could probably work in a back pocket. Just tried it, it's even more comfortable sitting than the rat 1.
I don't have one but the Spyderco Military is what everyone says to be the perfect back pocket large folder.
Wire clips are probably the most gentle ones.
Looking for a fixed blade that I can carry for construction work has to have a easy on off sheath, using the mora companion and it's good but looking for something stronger, sheath is as important as the blade. Great videos
the mora garberg is full tang and a similar sheath, you could also look at maybe some of the kabar or esee smaller fixed blades? or if you want edge retention bladehq has a kizer fixed blade exclusive with 10v steel
Hello, wondering if you could recommend a knife for me? I work in emergency services and carried a pm2 s30v for years. That went missing from my locker. I replaced it with a s45vn pm2. That got lost on a call. I need something that hurts less when it gets lost/broken (
I would look at Spydercos Byrd line of budget knives.
Hello DCA, for the farmers knife request in this video : I think the Spyderco Kapara meets the criteria. Thanks for the hours of infotainment you gave me. Kindest regards from Belgium. Hubrecht Peeters.
I checked, 3.6” blade, so not an option.
Also not even close to cheap unfortunately -DCA
Hey there DCA and friends, I've recently started a new job and they dont allow knives in the building. What are some non-knife tools/multitools for EDC? I'd like to be able to open boxes and maybe some plastic packaging, and a bottle opener is always handy. I'd be open to a Swiss, but hoping for some different options. Thanks!
Civivi Polymorph.
@@Ericstraordinary maybe i should have stated more clearly that I'm trying to avoid any kind of knife blade on the tool. Scissors would be fine, or a strap cutter, but no form of standard knife. Thanks for the suggestion tho, the polymorph is pretty cool!
Everyone please check your local knife laws. Usually when they state a legal blade length, that means a concealed knife, ie in pocket. If it’s on your belt exposed it’s a whole new ballgame. CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS. Your results might vary.
Who follows knife laws lmao🤣 I’ve yet to find a cop ANYWHERE that actually would enforce any knife law.
If your in the US, you don’t really need to worry about knife laws unless your using the knife to commit crime. The average citizen is never going to get stopped and checked.
@@optimuscrime608 probably not. But if you do get questioned you can quote a few knife statues and make them look stupid before they confiscate your knife LOL…
Greetings DCA, I was wondering what knife grind is the easiest for knife manufacturers and the hardest grind to pull off. Also, do most knife manufacturers hand grind the blades? Thanks!
Pretty much all production knives are machine ground. Not sure how machine made knives differ, but I know when hand-grinding a knife the hollow grind is much harder than a flat grind.
What about a MagnaCut Hogue Deka ,think that clicks all the boxes for the Farmer's Market guy.
Question for DCA: Is there a folding knife whose handle lets you safely grip right up to the cutting edge without a finger choil?
I'm a big fan, thanks for always delivering solid info.
Spyderco Caribbean or Tenacious (and related knives) -DCA
My employer requires cutting edges to be less than 2.5 inches. I've been looking at the Buck Budgie or MKM Isonzo. Any other sub $100 recommendations?
