    That word was awesome! When I was younger there was this guy at my grandmas church who I looked up to and still do. He’s always on fire for the Lord and every time I would see him, I would think, “man I wish I had what he’s got.” Then a few years ago it hit me. I do have what he’s got. I have Jesus.

      Yes👍 That's what we need to realize. We all have the same Jesus. Do what you can, while you can.

    Hi Rev Drew. Love your videos. What do you think about a versus between the ADAMAS and the COLD STEEL SR1? I think those two knives are the most similar in terms of their philosophy and that they were built like a tank. God bless you and all your family

      Thanks! I Havent used a SR1 before, but if I can get my hands on one, I'll do that comparison.

      That's actually a good comparison. The lock on the Adamas is strong but the lock on the SR1 I'm pretty sure is stronger.

    I don’t beat my folders all the time but during testing I will whoop the hell out of them because I once had to rely on my Spyderco Paramilitary 2 to get me out of the trails after a knee injury so when I test a folder I look for the same toughness that my PM2 has. I want to make sure that should I be stupid and hike with only a folder again or should I lose all but my folder I can rely on my folder to get me through the situation

    Contego is a nice EDC, Adamas is much better for hard use.
    I love them both, I would like a better steel (and blade profile) in the Adamas.

      Yep, I still want to go with the Contego, haha. Great comparison as usual! I know there are many who dump on Benchmade for their pricing, but while I do wish they were cheaper, they are still one of my favorite companies.

      @@darthblade2016 Their pricing makes sense when all is considered. People point at Spyderco but they just hiked their prices and from my experience they aren't far off.

    REVHIKER!!!! I need your advice. What do you think is a better EDC knife. A benchmade 940-1501 vs bugout. Im not to worried about the steels. I am a Civil Engineer so I work mostly from my office. I do go to construction sites about twice a week. So I do use my knives to cut wiring, yarn, rope, and paper. I would consider it light duty. I love both knives, I do think the bugout is a better slicer, Im not a fan of the scales. I will most likely buy aftermarket scales. So that raises the cost to almost the same price of the 940-1501. I have bought 4 previous 940-2 and always regretted selling them, hence why im on my 5th. What do you think?

    • @RevHiker

    • @dontprayforme
      @dontprayforme 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hell, I have multiple bugouts and a couple 940’s. Just depends on what I feel like carrying that day. I always have a bugout/940 for your general every day stuff, and then something a little larger/heftier for anything serious or super dirty. Usually either my Vallation (407), Contego, Turret, or my 560-1 “Super” Freek.

    Not much of a test imo. A $10 knife could do that much wood splitting honestly.

    • @Osprey1994

      A folding knife shouldn't be used for that anyways to be honest.
