The Benchmade 710 magnacut hrc is a typo its 60-62. The s90v 710 is 59-61, so im pretty sure they made a mistake and listed the s90v hrc for the magnacut version.
Yes MC im praying protech will drop some dark angels. I've been wanting one for over 2 years now. There's not many single action otf's on the market and I love that classic look that the dark angel has. The paragon already sold out except the blue serrated and red blade versions.
Mordax is what really got me into thinking about knives, and started me down this path. When the latest version was announced for mass distribution I checked BHQ everyday for about 13 months until I was able to get my hands on one. When my son was born (we had a home birth) I used my Mordax to cut the cord.
Asheville steel and Microtech are about 15-20 minutes from each other. The small shops that sell microtech here also sell Paragon. I have one line the one you bought somewhere.
I believe the Boker Auto Kwaikens are actually the same exact model as the Protech Kwaiken since Protech is the OEM of the Boker variant. I think they are just listed as Boker/Protech Kwaiken typically but BladeHQ just listed them as Boker for some reason.
I love my EXO-U and have no issue with the price for what you get. I am disappointed that NO brand of blade will fit that I've tried. Are there any blades at all that fit besides the Woodpecker Chinese blades that you cannot buy here???
Good impression's of knife critic's,I liked the over the top "lost it on knive's "over reaction talking to yourself in different voices,gave me more than a few laugh's,thank's
End if the button lock thing....lol. i just got Biophase on National Knife Day! I started digging flipper button locks with Spartan Blades Pallas. I love Vosteed Raccoon and Conspirator so Biophase was a no brainer
I just got mt boker kwaiken in magnacut in today. Mostly happy with it. No lock stick. Passed my spine wack test only slightly more aggressive then yours. But omg. dullest knife I have ever received. It was literally unsharpened. Flat like a butter knife. Took me an hour to get an edge on it with my lansky diamond rods but Jesus christ.
@Metal_complex Which Dark Angel are you looking for? I think I may have one somewhere I think it's the Dark Angel Steel Custom with the Black/ Pearl and with the 3.7″ Damascus blade. I know it was expensive.
Happy national knife day, even to tha coleslaw lovin spaghetti wizards. May your tri ad locks never stick, and your M390 be at about Rockwell hardness above 59!!
Unfortunately, I've had a paragon estilleto and it was very clunky. Retracting the blade is a bit of a pain and as a result the spring is pretty weak since you couldn't retract it otherwise...just buy a Hydra if you want a single action otf
How many of us have knives we will never use? I have 2 Surefire folders sitting and a number of others. So many great knives coming out I just never got around to them. I love my Paragon. Joker did too😂
After watching your Tabasco and pickle juice video last night I can confirm your face is a lot less pudgy now 😂. PS I just got a Shako in D4 and I'm hyped! 😊
You're a cool dude. I appreciate your videos. You have taught me so much about knife steels. Knife lockups and everything about knives, I never knew how much I didn't know about blade steels and knives they dont see me coming like they used to 🤣 i hope you and your family have a great weekend thank you so much for your TH-cam channe your the best l 🙂👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Swear to God I read that the same way on the Para x description. We are the same age and we both added a new baby recently that wasn't our first kid. That's the explanation I'm going with hahaha
P.s. if you see this isn't it a blast getting under some heavy ass weight when you're so sleep deprived constantly question myself until that weight gets unracked then it's just business as usual. But that first rep of that first set of that first exercise......😵💫
Think twice about the Lum…I love Spyderco knives (have over 30) but this will never join my collection. Got my hands on one Thursday at the BHQ store in PG and it feels like really poor quality. Does not feel like a $250 Spyderco! I’ve got a $50 Tenacious that feels better than this.
I bought a paragon at the most recent Atlanta blade show bc I’ve been enamored with them since the Dark Knight. But I would never carry it and I got it just for fun.
No benchmade you pay for name, it’s not the materials anymore so even if they made it in d2 and plastic scales they would still charge 400$ , it’s called greed
Anyone know if you can buy the tanto blade for the OG Exo separately? I'm too lazy to look it up myself. 😀 I've already got the knife, but having that blade would be nice.
Benchmade does their magnacut at 60-62 so they weren't that far off. Could be 59-61 because its a coated blade which would lower hardness unless you account for it ahead of f time. Can't believe benchmade charges $600 for that. Used to be a great company when Bugout dropped and before. Since then they're 💩. Glad i have a bunch of older benchmades from the good ol days.
Gravity knives are not cool, the blade play on them suck , it’s like comparing a 1940’s wind up toy against an electronic doc pet , gravity knives are so simple that not one of them should be over 50$ and that’s with the best materials possible because let’s just be serious for a minute, gravity as an opener??? No thought went into that whatsoever
You need to try the Reate Exo U. I would imagine older gravity knives are as bad as you say, but modern ones like the Exo U and RT Swordfish are spectacular
@@metal_complex I feel like it’s a fad like those round folding knives you turn to lock like the opinels that are just simplistic knives and they got popular now they are expensive for no reason other than they were a talking piece but I guess that is important to collectors, I don’t think of myself as a collector, I’m more of sharp pokey hoarder
@scotlackey9819 do you think that? Or do you think maybe there's more to it? Like blade materials made from powder formed super steels. Many of which formed here in the USA via expensive processes. How about the frame? Think titanium is cheap? (It's not). How about labor and machining costs? Cheap? Not when it's precision. I'm not guessing. The Opinel is cheap because it's cheap to make. That's not a realistic comparison. Same with a lot of the stuff you think is similar to the two knives I've mentioned. There are tiers to this stuff. I have 4000 uploads. Anything you could want to know and it's all sorted into playlusts.
Dude come on man, you title the video that way and the video really has nothing to do with that knife, you make it seem like you bought the knife and you're going to do like a demonstration or something that's totally misleading
you joke about people not wanting to spend $80 on a utility knife, yet you show ludicrously priced Chinese made knives. Who in their right mind is spending anything over $70 on some fk bs country of China knife? If youre even close to shelling out $200, theres plenty of American companies to spend maybe not even $100 more, but even $100 more I know where my $$ is going. That's proposterous
Love the channel but please stop talking about good knives!!!!! I'm saving up to buy YOUR KNIFE!!! JK, but I am going to subpoena you to my divorce proceedings

Not being able to find a 500$ knife and going ‘eh, I’ll find it later’ is so knife guy of you 😂

Standup performance begins here. You’re welcome ❤

MC saying “I was hoping for 8-81/2 inches” will live rent free in my head for the next week 😂
Went from Mickey Mouse to Goofy in your gravity knife rant lol.
20 minutes of ranting…
Too close to the blade? Put it down and take a step back! 😂
I can knowings how to read words good SIR!
The Benchmade 710 magnacut hrc is a typo its 60-62. The s90v 710 is 59-61, so im pretty sure they made a mistake and listed the s90v hrc for the magnacut version.
Looked it up myself and you are correct.
I will never get tired of the back and forth conversations with yourself 😂🙌 hilarious
To each their own. I drop in occasionally to see what’s up but it’s gets old quickly. Lots of ranting and yelling that’s completely unnecessary.
Yes MC im praying protech will drop some dark angels. I've been wanting one for over 2 years now. There's not many single action otf's on the market and I love that classic look that the dark angel has. The paragon already sold out except the blue serrated and red blade versions.

I'm having the same issue as well...
Isn’t everyday National Knife Day?
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need more videos like this... unless I'm the pinecone that just hasn't seen these before
Im so glad you didn't edit out "to close the blade" thank you Great video man 👍

I've handled that one as well. I think the main issue is that it's just huge. This one is much smaller. We'll find out when it arrives
600 dollars for an aluminum, pvd, and magnacut crossbar lock knife is still baffling
Sage 5, Rex121 orange G10 at $300!!! What da ya think?
I'm gonna buy one
"Too close to the blade" sadly got me paying attention to that knife! I'm worried about who that says more about!
8:17 Magnacut steel over S90V steel is NOT a $200 difference, never mind $400 is ridiculous.
So interesting to see what youre doing behind the camera when ranting lol
Happy national knife day!😊
ROFLMAO, "Sitting on a boat load of oysters." Oh god, can't to much....
How many of us have knives we will never use? I have 2 Surefire folders sitting and a number of others. So many great knives coming out I just never got around to them. I love my Paragon. Joker did too😂
I have a para-x with the kris blade, and an asheville steel warlock. Big fan of their knives.
I miss peel ply G10 and 154CM Benchmade. Bring back crazy overbuilt ZT as well.
I thank God Blade HQ got the number wrong because $600 for that bench made. I knew that couldn’t be right. It’s only worth about 200.
No the price was accurate. Just the HT numbers were incorrect. Totally ridiculous
I've only bought a few Boker knives and just had bad luck with it, so I don't really get excited by them.
After watching your Tabasco and pickle juice video last night I can confirm your face is a lot less pudgy now 😂. PS I just got a Shako in D4 and I'm hyped! 😊
Good to see your face. Wish I could have as much fun as you do with this. . Awesome brother
Looks like the m4 osbourne 940 is coming back. Just saw a pre order for them 😎
@metal_complex you weren't joking, that Paragon Para knife sold out within hours of your video being posted
"It's a 485$ box cutter" that i can't see because MC doesnt even know where it is 🤣
You're a cool dude. I appreciate your videos. You have taught me so much about knife steels.

I love those Jack Wolf Venom jack
Rob from asheville is my favorite person ever.
Good morning Complex. I love rantie and other guys voice, and content as well. Have a great weekend.
Promise you, if I'm spending anywhere near 600 on a knife, it's not going to be a benchmade lol
Pro-Tech Mordax is coming out in thumb stud.
The price on the Benchmade Seven Ten is dumb af. Really? Six bills? Eff that!
What is the thumb nail picture knife? Its cool.
Civivi Vision FG or Miguron Morayl?
Swear to God I read that the same way on the Para x description. We are the same age and we both added a new baby recently that wasn't our first kid. That's the explanation I'm going with hahaha

Does.....does that Benchmade 710 say $600 US dollars? F**kin YIKES
Too Close or Not To Close, Thanks for the Treat and not Editing 🤣
Calm down Hank Hill
Found the guy who was gonna tell you all to buy a Husky 👆
Thanks for some good laughs! Very entertaining.

I have a paragon somewhere. It feels like a piece of crap. Might be fake.
Regurgitation time stamp, post exo rant ... 7:27.
“Shut your big waffle face”. Love it

Böker just doesn’t bring quality or value, at least with their Plus and definitely with their Magnum series.
Hey ya beautiful bastards, here’s me face.
Whi h knife did you buy immediately
