Mr Anderson, I thoroughly enjoy your video’s and their content!! Please feel free to send me any of your knives that you think may be overloading your collection 😁!!! Just trying to help!! Oh yeah… might KC have a prospective date on when the KC Exclusive Hogue will be arriving?? Thank you sir!! Cheers!!!
Hey hey, some of us already have dibs Johnny!!!!! Hahaha
I love the knives you show, but what really make the videos for me is how you guys go back and forth. It really brings a smile to my face.
For the classy fixed-blade, I would recommend the Buck 119 or something in that family. There are lots of options, sizes, etc. and they're all USA-made.
Exactly what I was thinking! OO-RAH
Thanks 2 ALL of you for the amazing content, but I wanted to thank you even more for the extra effort you gave into answering that Marine brother of mine. You'll never truly know how much that means to us. It swells our hearts with joy and pride even if only a resident, such as myself. Btw, modified reverse Tanto is 110% correct! 😆 Haha!
Never enough Knives. Everyday has a different use or emergency. What a great service your whole team is doing for the community of knife and other related issues. Great job as usual and tell Thomas, I'll buy his truck for cheap. Lol. God bless and thank you and Knife Center. I'm going broke!!!
Great episode guys! Too many knives is a very different thing when it comes to perception. There's my (very correct) perception of too many knives, and there's my wife's (very incorrect) perception of it.
what about their shoes and clothes? the degenerate mother of my daughters has more than 200 pair of shoes, totally fcked up in the head, and my sisters it's the same shit, always buying useless sh1t, fckin bad role models for my daughters (10 and 11)
LOVE fixed blades. I want to order a Izula or a Izula II soon (I hope). I’d love to have that Benchmade too; I’ve been drooling over those 2 blades for months
Oorah! My question got answered! Thanks for the suggestions. However, we are leaning towards Buck because they are American made and we can fine simmering suitable under our price point.
Whoever edits the description, I really appreciate all the names and links for the knives in the video. Thanks
Thanks Thomas. Your work is greatly appreciated
I swear Thomas rocks
There are reversed tantos and then there's modified.. See how easy that is to classify
Thanx for this vid. Gave me an inspiration on a knife to buy next time - the GiantMouse ACE Sonoma V2. Wow what a cool knife...
I have somewhere around 75 or so knives now. I sold 6 around Christmas time, but there will be more. Thanks DCA for what you do.
For an executive knife I’ve been praising the Boker Spillo since I was gifted one. It’s very slim and a pretty minimalist of an executive knife but it has a look that is different. It may be too nimble for some people but it’s a wonderfully slim carry. Especially in the summer with shorts.
Forthe question about the OTF, it should be pointed out that on the extremely rare case where you were to load up the button to the point of launching the blade, it’s not going to stab 3 inches into your leg. The blade will pop off track at the lightest touch and worst case you might get a tiny 1/4” booboo.
I keep thinking that I have “enough” knives but I keep buying more of them. I purchased a nice storage chest for my growing collection and proceeded to fill it up. Obviously at that point I needed another chest. I am in the process of filling up the second chest. I’m not sure what “too many” is but I’m guessing it’s when I cannot find room to store more knives. I have a good sized house so I’m in no danger of reaching that limit any time soon.
I believe it is too many if you have knives you do not use. Solution rotate every day (allowing for alternates when the situation dictates).
@@LonestarTaoboy I have a few knives that I purchased when I started my collection that I rarely use mainly because they just aren’t very good knives or my tastes have evolved. A couple of my higher end knives don’t get used much because I display them. Other than those exceptions I rotate the rest of the collection depending upon my mood and what I’m doing at the time. I enjoy the variety. No two knives in my collection are the same.
DCA I need to see the tops Sonoran in large hands. I really like the aesthetics with its upswept blade. Also I’ve been making G10 NPE (non-permissive environment) knives lately and was curious whether or not you see a market for them. As always thanks for doing what y’all do.
I've had that Mini Slim Pickens for a while. Great user knife. It's tricky to swing open because of a detent keeping it closed. Shabazz showed how to remove that in a video a while back. I found that once it's broken in the blade swings out pretty easily anyway, so I didn't do the detent delete.
As for a classy fixed blade around $100, I'd chose the Buck Vanguard, the Fox BlackFox BF-749 Explorator Fixed Blade Knife, or the CIVIVI Knives C2104A Elementum Fixed Blade Knife (I own the Civivi Fixed blade and its VERY CLASSY and elegant.) FYI, I served in the US Army.
Up until two years ago, I owned 3 knives (fixed and folding). Since watching David's video's, I now own over 150 fixed and folding knives (just under $7,000 in knives) and I'm reaching my end point because I'm just spending too much money on knives!!!
“The gnomes left them” spot on brother
The reason you can’t swing open and closed the Alliance Designs Mini Slim Pickens, is because the Mini version uses a second internal detent to prevent accidental deployment and less safe guillotine closure. It can be removed with a T8 driver inside. Reminds me of the second detent in the Spyderco Smock. Cheers, DCA!
Hey DCA, i come a long way in my knife collecting journey but keep thinking back to a cheaper knife i loved but found my self wishing that thier was a more perium version of it since the build quality is lacking.... this knife being the kershaw shuffle 2 i just love the ergos of it sinces it one of the few smaller knvies that feels right in my rather large hands. if it could also be tip up carry that would be great as well!!!
I've got CS Code4 in CP and it's honestly all I need for everything. Kitchen prep, work, killing zombies, shaving, noisy neighbors, a lion. I just needed to give it another angle on the blade, I went 17'
If you want an awesome in-between on the carcass splitter look at the cold steel cleaver
I LOVE the MKM Mikro!
Hey DCA, definitely appreciate all the guidance and counsel you offer here. Now it’s my turn to ask a question. Can you help me find the right knife? Looking for a light-duty working knife (everything from cutting cardboard to patches of turf). 3” to 3 1/4” long, around 3/4” tall and 1/8” thick. Drop point blade preferred, but wharncliffe or reverse tanto is ok. Tight tolerances, don’t want dirt/sand gumming up the works every time I use it. Don’t want black. Would like a high end blade material, but D2 isn’t a deal breaker. Thanks.
Absolutely love my PXL in Elmax (even though being in the UK I paid the ridiculous equivalent price of $370!!), in fact it's the favourite folder in my collection. Elegant, amazing build quality and incredibly strong - love it so much that I'm currently saving for the Elforyn version too. In my opinion, Fallkniven are as good as it gets.
I’ve recently started watching your videos and absolutely love them!! I just had one question, what is a good quality OFT that won’t break the bank?
Nice video to start the weekend! And NO, never too many knives
Giant mouse Sonoma looks like an awesome nice . . Wire clip too . I like wire clips a lot . Good pick Dave .
Hey DCA. For the gentleman style folder, the Spyderco Ikuchi is also very good and classy choice.
I'm would (and did) go with the cocobolo handles on the urban trapper. Classy looking knife for the office
Hey David! I’m looking for a multi blade knife with a straight edge blade and a serrated blade for food prep, ideally under 3 inches. Any recommendations?
Thank you David, thank you Thomas. Best wishes from the UK. 🤗☺️❤️✌️🖖👋
What are the best discreet portable storage solutions for people with too many knives? Most aren't big enough to neatly store ten or so small to medium sized fixed blades.
I have a Spyderco knife roll, hanging in my room with 30 slots + about 5 spaces on a shelf where I display my favorites. So, I try not to exceed 35 knives (this of course not counting my Swiss Army Knives and I have like 10 fixed blades that are stored elsewhere).
Lost my MKM Mikro somewhere in the house... love that little thing... so sad...
recently the benchmade tengu flipper caught my eye, but I’m nog a fan of it not having a clip, do you have any good alternate options of should i just get it?
I have the lion steel m1 with g10. I recommend it highly. And if you need to off load any knives, could always be directed my way Dca. Lol. Thanks!
Hi DCA! I recently went camping and used my new condor terrasaur to do some bushcrafting. I was impressed by how sturdy it felt and how well it worked. Are there any other knives at that price point which are as tough and well designed for bushcraft?
P.S. I actually found myself lashing a knife (artisan sea snake) to a stick to get a scrap of paracord that somebody had left behind down from a tree branch.
I recently received the Schrade frontier knife I ordered and I absolutely love it. I was wondering your thoughts about this knife as an introductory bushcraft knife? PS. Tell Tom not every knife shape has to be modified reversed tanto. Thank you.
I like the number, 15. I try to keep my collection to only 15 in total: 9 EDC folders, 3 victorinox swiss army (as companion blades to my EDC), and 3 fixed-blades. Not only am I going for quality over quantity, I am also making sure that the ones I have will fall squarely to this two categories: 1. Sentimental Value, 2. I must actually rotate every one of them on EDC. If something in my collection does not find itself in my pocket anymore for whatever reason and they don’t really have sentimental value, I give them away as presents to friends or family… and then I buy something else to replace them.
For the gents knife id also recommend the Cjrb ria or the crkt symmetry. I own the ria and carry it alot its one of my favorite knives I own and I just ordered the knife center exclusive symmetry today cant wait to try it out
Good Afternoon Mr. DCA. You mentioned aftermarket, what kind of things are available to upgrade, change, modify a knife, folder or fixed after its been purchached. Love the shows even though I'm in the UK. rgds J
The Sonoma is a great knife but GiantMouse has been using Elmax on much of their line so there are several choices. Several high-end Russian brands also like Elmax quite a lot because it can reach 62-63 HRC when properly heat-treated.
Another solid video! I dare say you 3 produce my favorite TH-cam subscribing series. Would love to see a video on your favorite budget knife belt if you where to spend the day in the woods. Maybe a include your "Grail knife belt"
Elmax is one of my favorite steels. It's done well on my GM knives so far, anyway. I love that Hidden Canyon too. I need to pick one of them up at some point. Thanks, DCA and the KC Crew!
How does it handle the mayonnaise patina?
@@Mattisfaction I reported you for condiment vulgarity. The internet police are converging on your location as we speak. You would also have to ask Eionan, since he has my Elmax right now.
@@GrumpyGrunt oh I guess I should butter them up. Let them know the catsup in the tree while I relish the idea of condiment police. Ill make like gravy and cover my tracks!
What are good knives or blade shapes for cutting a lot of zip ties?
I wish i could get my hands on the old buck/mayo titanium frame lock knife from back in the day. The wingman edc/mayo design reminds me of it
Hi DCA, Seth and Thomas. Thanks for the great content. When does size matter? I am looking to buy a new Buck Pro series. I can't decide between the "must have" 119 or my on paper fav.the 105 Pathfinder. I would love to see them together. Gets me to thinking of my other want the Cold steel SRK. Go full or compact? When is smaller better, when am I leaving to much knife on the table? Average hands mostly camp tasks, I have a nice small axe. Love to hear your thoughts and maybe some other comparisons, full and smaller versions etc. Thanks again.
Hey DCA! Hope you and Thomas are well! I recently picked up the we beacon and am seriously digging it! Was wondering if you had any similar knives with a fuller, flipper and ball bearings around the $200 mark that will fit into the edc role? Thanks!
Hey DCA. How do you store your antique knives with leather sheaths.ps high carbon steel.thanks
Can you talk about the kershaw camshaft? I just bought it and I just want to know yalls opinion. Did I pick a good knife? please let me know.
Hey DCA. Some other fine choices for a fixed blade gift, especially for a Marine, could be the American made White River ATK, or the TOPS Bull Trout (a little over the 100$ mark to be honest).
Hi DCA I love you show and I watch it even repeats whenever I can you just press on a lot of knowledge i have been carrying the crkt minimalist as my edc for almost a year now and the only thing I don't like is the steel I'm looking for something with a similar size (2-2.5in) and a good steel that is Onder 70$ and is belt carry preferably scout carry
Thank you very much
Zeke
Large-handled small-bladed folder?
I have larger than average hands, and really like a full handle, but there are times when I want or need a smaller blade, ~2.5” (e.g. for precision work, or to avoid concerns in crowded public areas, or where limited by law such as Boston). I prefer great materials, but understand my choices may be limited. I just want a medium/small blade with a great full grip in a pocket portable package. Any recommendations?
Could you compare the king kukri and the heavy duty kukri from condor? I'm having trouble deciding.
Can you provide a jimping tutorial. What kind is best, length jimping, when you would not want jimping, etc.
I really like that Ace Sonoma V2.
an recommendations for a fixed elmax blade? anv m311 seems like the only one to go for right now
Hey DCA , any suggestions for a beach knife, if you were going to take a folding knife to a beach with blowing sand what are some good options
Has crjb changed the design of the small Feldspar? I recently purchased one and the thumbstud seems to be in a different position than pictures I have seen in reviews. On mine it seems to be deep in the liner lock access cut out and a bit hard to get a good purchase on it. The detent seems extremely stiff and makes deployment difficult and easy to fail.
I didnt ask the question but i just ordered the BM Hidden Hunter and an ulticlip! thanks for the recommendation
Could you show off some of the best knives (fixed or folder) with neutral handles? I've found neutral ergonomics work best for my weird hand size and I think it could help out a lot of people who have a hard time finding knives that fit their hand. Thanks!
MKM Mikro has the best sheath ever made....I want it in all sizes for all my fixies
Hey, DCA and Seth. I bought a 'tactical' shirt that has two small pockets on the upper left sleeve. One pocket only fits a pen. The other pocket will *just* fit my Gerber Prybrid, but it's a very tight squeeze and not practical. I was hoping my Olight Splint would fit in that pocket, but no way. Is there an executive style letter opener knife that has titanium handles, S35VN steel, is about as long as a Prybrid, but not as wide. Needs to be about as thin as the Prybrid as well. Very deep carry pocket clip will help it look like a pen. Thanks!
Hi dca, what do you think the best 2 handed open slipjoints out there?
That M1 is looking nice!
Can you please help with choosing scales for a Spyderco Mule.
dang...I really like that MKM Mikro
DCS what is your take on ceramic bladed pocket knives such as the Boker Plus Anti-Grav Folding Knife. Is it possible to use it as an EDC knife? I’ve read they are incredible sharp and don’t dull nearly as fast as traditional steel blades. Thanks!
Are there any plans for Knife Center to have any more custom Alan Folts minimalists? I would really like to get my hands on one, but cannot seem to find any anywhere.
Hey DCA. I am looking for the cheapest full titanium pocket knife with a milled pocket clip. Ive wanted one for so long but cant find one for a decent price.
Suggestions for a button lock flipper with a thin handle? A Sandrin Monza with a button lock and flipper tab would be perfect. Bonus points for bearings and a deep carry pocket clip.
D Rocket Jupiter?
Hey DCA and crew, I got the Artisan Cutlery Archaeo detent flipper (and it is a beauty), but when I tried to EDC it, I felt like the, non-removable, pocket clip wasn't great, I've had it jump out my pocket when taking other things out of the same pocket and hit the floor and open up.
Being a UK based knife lover, having an EDC knife baffles a lot of people, and scares them when it appears when it is unnecessary, and I was wondering if you had a 2nd go-to suggestion for a UK legal EDC flipper
(I'm currently carrying a Spyderco UK lightweight and a SAK Cybertool 41)
Hi DCA For the Elmax folder options, I will clearly add the ANV A100. An absolutely awesome crossbar lock knife.
I love that knife -DCA
I want to know more about balisongs. Where did they come from and what were they meant for? Why are balisongs a pricier category of knife, in general? What budget options are there for someone just curious about trying them out?
Dig that fallkniven px...something in elmax.
Thanks dave
Hey DCA, how bout you show us a thing or 3 about convex edge maintenance (for example - strop & sandpaper method)…. Love the series, Thanks.
I'm gonna say 1000 knives is probably the line of "too many". I embarrassingly only have 4. But I love all 4, and will continue to add to my humble collection. I see some unreal collections here YT.
My wife got me a lovely 3-drawer knife chest with subdivided sections.. I initially said I'd not have more knifes than spaces. Then I doubled the knives up into each space. Now they're sorta overflowing onto the shelf. And of course the fixed blades are EVERYWHERE..
I wish I had a good way of getting rid of some of these that I use less. It makes me sad that they're not being appreciated.
Takes more than one to have a well rounded collection . You HAVE to have a knife for every situation or use . Bushcraft , Survival , Camping , Hunting, Fishing , Self Defense , Combat , and most importantly EDC . That adds up to about eight for a functional collection . Let’s be honest though there really is no such thing as TOO many knives . That reminds me I need to look for a Bali just cuz .
Yeah, what is more, there are so many brands and so many models that look nice... It is urge to experience them all.
I'm up to 185 knives but yet to get a Bali. I'd definitely start with an unsharpened trainer though. Otherwise, there will be blood.
And lets be real, you can't have just 1 of every type of knife. You need at least 2 in case one fails. Make that 3 so your spouse can use one too, and still have a spare. Or perhaps 4 so your buddy can borrow one when you go camping...
@@arrowheadguys7637 haha, i have 2 pieces in case i realy like this one. I have second one in brass or copper. Qsp penguin is so cheap i got it in titanium, other brands are not so affordable for me in this "premium" mode
You should get a Kershaw Lucha. It was my first good bali and I don’t feel the need to buy anymore.
Hey DCA! With fathers day coming up, I am looking at getting my dad a knife. He's never been a bag fan of knives but in trying to convince him. He loves to golf, so I was wondering if there is a knife or even multi tool that might golf-related he would enjoy. Thanks, and love the videos!
Hey DCA. I always was more of a fix blade person, but now I kinda become interested in some folding action. But I have some prejudice against locking mechanisms with springs because I'm very outgoing and don't want to end up with knife that won't lock somewhere out in the wilds. I'm not sure how justified my concerns are. Are those locks reliable? Would love to hear your opinion on this
DCA I’m working on Building out a sock carry EDC. What would suggest these two items, A small, thin, rust resistant folding knife that would be comfortable next to the skin, clipped to the inside of the sock, next is a flashlight with similar requirements, thanks.
The stainless Izula is a great choice.
Seth did a video on quickest deployment a while back but he was already holding the knife. What is the quickest deployment starting from the pocket or sheath to having the blade out and ready to use? I think Le Duck or something similar from a sheath and I don't know what would come out of the pocket the fastest.
Are "super steel" knives really worth it? I have had knives in CPM 20CV, CPMS30V ect. But some of my favorite knives have been D2 or 14C28N. What are your thoughts?
If a woodchuck would chuck wood what knife would the woodchuck chuck wood with?
Awesome video as always. My question would be... Would you consider doing giveaways of those knives you plan to get rid of for your viewers? I am sure we would all be thrilled to have a Mr. Andersen-owned blade.
●ESEE Izula in S35VN (The high carbon version is in my EDC rotation. I need the S35VN.)
●Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter (In my EDC rotation. )
●MKM Mikro (In my EDC rotation.)
●Lionsteel M1 Fixed-blade. (It looks pretty good to me.)
The small fixed blade I would have mentioned the white river knives backpacker and the Smith & Sons shoal.
Few years ago went on a LT Wright spending spree I have 6, as well as some Condor, Benchmade, Cudeman, Helle, Emerson, Buck, Graham. It’s out of control. I use a knife every day but hide most of these guys as a guilty pleasure.
@Robert and Liz Carmichael for the 4th question idk if you are looking for these kind of knife but i would recommend Civivi Lumi in G10, for more budget, or We Eidolon in G10 or Carbon fiber. in my opinion they look great for office and i personally i take Lumi to office
Hey DCA what steels would you most recommend for a Bushcraft knife? What ones would you most recommend avoiding?
That Lionsteel was in M390, would that or M4 work well?
I suspect M390 can't take the impact work and could chip or crack if batoned.
If you watch the Dutch Bushcraft Knives channel on YT, they've found the sweet spot is right around 3V, K490, CruWear and Z-Wear or the less fancy M4, M3, M2 and A2. Those are non-stainless tool steels with good toughness.
It's tricky to get a hard use stainless that is very stainless and still tough enough. M390 is way too far up the hardness and stainless chart to be reliable. Even VG-10 can be too brittle due to the cobalt keeping the hardness higher.
Keeping the chromium down around 14% and the carbon around 1% and some good vanadium and molybdenum for carbides is usually the way to go, favoring more moly since it helps with stain resistance.
AUS8 is okay for a low cost, low tech approach but a little soft, while AUS10 or the Chinese 9cr14 would be an improvement and Sandvik 14C28N is a very good budget compromise. Plain 154CM is a good choice slightly above the budget steels.
A powder metal version of 154CM such as CPM154, CTS-BD4P or RWL-34, is probably the best middle ground of toughness/hardness.
CPM S35VN is pushing the carbon a little bit high and risking a little brittleness but may be good if kept down to about 60 hrc, so then it is really whether you trust the maker to use a reasonable heat treat for hard use knives.
And really, that is the big question in bushcraft and other hard use knives - do you trust the knife maker to apply a good practical heat treat and not over-harden?
If you never baton or only do very light batoning of small pieces with no forcing through knots, then it is a lot easier.
In that case, you can go for rather hard steels although I would still avoid M390 and friends since they could chip some on the heavy side loads during notching work and light chopping. Maybe S35VN at typical hardness up to S45VN and S30V.
Without the hard use, VG-10 and VGMAX are reasonable choices in the mid-price range.
Fallkniven likes their cobalt enhanced alloys that are slightly harder than VG-10 : CoS up to SG2/SGPS.
Even D2 or better yet, one of the powder versions of D2 (CPM-D2, PSF27, K110) could work out fairly well.
S35VN is probably the sweet spot for non-batoning stainless steels.
The wingman EDC looks amazing. I need to sell my plasma or something. Thanks DCA.
I have had a cheap kitchen knife for almost 10 years. 2 mm of the ede is gone. It feels like I am anable to sharpen it properly anymore and slices have to be forced a bit. Is it time to buy a new one that will last another ten years? Do cheaper blades have a finite life? Keep ut the good work.
Like many other folks I work from home and lately I'm in the habit of picking a knife out of my collection for the day to fidget with. I picked up a ZT0022 recently and guess what, yeah I accidentally nicked myself while practicing opening it (very minor nick but annoying). I saw your FAQ video after that where you specifically mention the ZT0022 with copper scales and said "be careful" when opening... My question to you guys: how often to you come close to minor mishaps like that and is it more likely to occur on opening or closing? Does anyone else besides Spyderco make a folder with a compression lock? I wish they would migrate that lock to more models.
Hi David, I’m looking for very thin knife options to add to my pocket organizer. So far, the Victorinox 1 Alox, Excelsior and Electrician look like good options, however the “height” is not listed. Can you suggest other knives with a height of around 1/4-3/8”? Thanks for all you do! I love the show!
The Sandrin TCK is very thin, partially because of the very thin tungsten carbide blade. A little expensive.
Hey David, I hope the move is going well. Ethan Becker! Could you explain the incredible qualities of each of his different knives he designs, and what models would you pick as the perfect set. I have the BK7, BK18, the BK40 folder, and the BK13. Is there something I’m missing? This could easily be a dedicated video as opposed to a FAQ vid. Thanks.
