Spyderco changed there warranty if I’m not mistaken you can now take apart your knives, they will send pocket clips screws out free of charge and body screws being sent out is hit and miss but they have sent them to me before, benchmades warranty has been great also.
Emerson’s message on the box is so awesome. Emerson is one of my more recent fav companies. Love Benchmade and spyderco as well. "Every time you pick up an Emerson knife, you know I've got your back. I will not fail you and I will never let you down. This I promise. - Ernest Emerson
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is the king of my collection. Thing saved my ass when a hike went bad. That knife is actually the reason I test blades the way I do. I had to baton it to make a crutch and brace when I blew out my knee so now I test every folder that way because a lot of hikers/backpackers refuse to carry a multitool, a fixed blade, etc. My injury came from just hiking in to scout a fishing spot and thinking I wouldn’t need my full kit because I was going less than 5 miles round trip. Thank god I knew how to use what I had on me which was just the PM2. Now I carry my full gear even for the shortest of hikes. I do enjoy testing a bunch of different stuff but the folding blades you will constantly see in my pocket to back up whatever I happen to be testing are the PM2, my Medford 187DP, or my ZT 0223. For fixed blades I always have my trusted Cold Steel SRK, Gerber Strongarm, or Diablo prototype (my design) backing up whatever fixed blade is in the bootcamp. Plus I always have a Swiss Army knife and a good multitool on me and another pair in my backpack
I am a spyderco fan, I don’t see any other company pushing the envelope on blade materials as much as they do, nor do I see other companies dialing up the HT as much as them. I also love the unapologetically functional and ergonomic nature of their designs.
Spyderco has always been a pioneer in the knife industry since they started making knives. They pioneered one handed opening folders and pocket clips for folders. They were the first company to do so. And they are constantly experimenting and innovating with newer steels and locking mechanisms. Spyderco is without question the most progressive knife manufacturer in the US and probably the world.
Some US knives are flying of the shelves here in the Netherlands, so i just stick by the knives that interest me. But for now i just use what i have and just enjoY them.
I know this is an older video but im recently getting into knives and had seen a couple videos of yours and when i had specific information i was looking for regarding CRK i was skipping past other big name channels to look for your video on the subject, already gravitate toward you because of your honesty and kinda no BS attitude (i mean that in a good way), thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience
Spyderco's my favorite brand. They have knives for pretty much everyone. They even have a knife for people who rescue whales. And the Dragonfly and Lil Native are wonderful EDC options for where I live under extreme blade length limits (I don't always obey, but when I do). Those two models aren't going anywhere 'cause they're masterpieces, and you get all kinds of choices with them.
I once was just like you and I still don't plan on branching out too much, 3 Sabenza's, 1 Benchmade, 160 some Spyder's, 3 Microtech's, 2 Quiet Carry's, a shit load of Boker's, these are my main loves. I have a WE Subjugator (WE has their shit together and makes BadAss blades (you should try them), also have a Reate Gravity Knife (one amazing piece), just picked up a Demko AD 20.5 in 3V (also something you should try). There's some amazing pieces out there, you do excellent reviews and I'd love to see you review some of the quality blades that are out there, it's an awesome feeling finding a gem that's different from anything else out there. Keep up the awesome work girl!
Benchmade, Spyderco and now Hogue for me. Hogue is USA made and I recently purchased four of them ….exceptional build quality. Recently discovered your channel…enjoy your perspective…on knives and life in general. Good Luck on the upcoming move.
I think it's great to have a mix of both types. I'm not terribly in love with spyderco from an anesthetic and unique appearance standpoint and have more than my share of benchmades and especially CRK. I LOVE all that CRK stands for and the attention and courtesy they give each customer
You and chucknunface were single handedly responsible for my decision to finally try a crk and I’m glad I did they truly are built to some very respectable tolerances. I use my knives as well and after seeing what you put your crks through i knew I’d have to give them a shot.
That’s AWESOME that you stick with what you like and don’t feel like you have to buy every “popular” or new knife that people tell you to buy. I don’t think it’ll hinder your growth at all, in fact is hasn’t. We’re all interested in what you do and how you think on Erica’s planet! Haha it’s not boring at all! 😁
@@Pinki2019 Love the mini! Full size too… Doug is great and proceeds go to Knife Rights. The clip is good, but bends. Lynch clips or Benchmade mini clips will work.
@@Pinki2019 I prefer the mini rsk to my minigrip. Slightly longer handle helps me get a better grip. My minigrip has a lot of sentimental value though.
Yeah. I tend to agree with you. Obviously you can find gems in all kinda places. I have said it to you before but someone gave me a gerber fastball like two years ago and I was dismissive about it but have literally been carrying it everyday for over a year. It checks all the boxes. It’s a great knife no joke. Reminds me of a more sturdy bugout. Love your videos. Continually the best knife vids on you tube. Thanks Erica!
I'm a major knife snob, but my guilty pleasure is Cold Steel -- and some of their folders are simple, solid tools. I often carry a Code 4 tanto in S35VN, and I'm satisfied that I have pretty solid steel with a VERY solid locking mechanism. When I need a bruiser folder I carry my Cold Steel Italian-built 4-Max in 20CV, LOL.
I am currently at the stage of doing away with all of my cheaper knives exception being gifts and sentimental ones. My top picks so far have been Spyderco and Benchmade but I have kept some Artisan cutlery, WE knives, and ZT/Kershaw. D2 is one of the only budget steels I have kept in my collection (again besides the exceptions) in any of locking folders. My slipjoints I actually kind of want a softer steel because they do the majority of my simple cutting task so sharpening them or stroping is quick and easy. Plus the slips are my true pocket pretties.
I'll keep watching even if you just talk about the same 4 knife companies, your love of beer, and your commitment to stick to your morals. I like the format of your videos, some traffic or an occasional dog barking in the background...that's real life, not some perfectly edited video. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting 🤔. I did know all that info about CRK and Benchmade, but didn't know that about Emerson and Spyderco. I definitely do baby some knives or dont take them to work because they're hard/impossible to get. After royaly fucking up a few cheap knives and maybe one or two kitchen knives, I'm not afraid to sharpen anymore😂😂. Too bad about Benchmade......I called to order a couple clips one day and had no issues...got them in a week. My only experience with sending a knife in for warranty work is with Kershaw and it took quite a while to get the knife back but besides that it was smooth. I sent in an M4 Blur that a bought 2nd hand(Kershaw knew it was), because the pivot was a bit wonky when i got it and I finished fucking it up🤣🤣. Thanks for the info Erica 🤙🍻
For sure ! I have seen you on the CRK Forum , I'm like you I have my favs. and that is it. Love the Sebenza ! It will take anything you can throw at and look damn good doing it ! Neat video ! 😊
If you get the chance or if you can get your hands on one I’d like to see you do one of your month reviews on a Microtech socom elite manual. I’m sure you get a million requests for different reviews. I’m just putting out in the universe! Have a great day.
You can't argue with the fact that these companies do it right. Their customer service is good, too. Should you break it, you can send it to them and they will fix it. I have a few higher end customs from well known makers, and they sit in a safe most of the time. Def thinking about liquidating and focusing on what I carry. Only issue with with Benchmade is that when something is discontinued, and once parts are depleted, you're shit out of luck. You don't run into that problem with CRK or Emerson. There is once person who does warranty work at CRK. That person can fix a knife or reblade one without issue. Emerson knives can replace stuff w/o issue too. Hinderer on the other hand will not replace your blade if it's damaged or worn out. He makes you buy a new knife. Not sure why this is.
I really like zero tolerance, they make really good quality stuff, and they have a really good warranty from what I've experienced. Spyderco and Benchmade make good stuff also imo
I agree with everything you mentioned about these knife companies. For me I really like spyderco and benchmade but for my hard use folder I prefer medford over Emerson and for the refined tight tolerance folder I choose Koenig over crk. Never owned an Emerson knife and still really like my tanto inkosi though.
Great video! I really enjoy your channel. Came across it over a month ago in a random feed. My absolute two favorite folders are Spyderco and Benchmade. Built up a small collection over the years. Some of the Zero Tolerance folders are also quite good.
bought a hogue ex-a03 thats the frn handled auto off of my friend back in october and after a few hundred times of opening the knife the coil spring in the pivot snapped and so i gave it back to him to send in around christmas and still havent gotten anything back about that from hogue so that just kinda left a bad taste in my mouth
CRK, Benchmade, Shirogorov, and a few WE/Civivi’s have all been great for me. The CRK’s have been winning the most carry time by far recently, tho And I have a Few Spydercos on the way to try out, too
I asked BM for another clip a couple years ago and they sent me maybe 4 then a few days later I got several more. I think I have the longer version of the BugOut clip in satin if you want it but I know it's not the short one. I'm pretty hung up on the USA clip that came on my 940-1 because I don't like the really deep clips.
This is a good a place as any to post this;I've got a Benchmade Infidel and some kind of Benchmade switch blade that I would like to have repaired, if possible. The Infidel looks like it was run over by a semi and the switch blade has some kind of coating that has mostly worn off. I sent Benchmade a email and they said it would probably be about a year before they could even get back to me. I wasn't trying to do it on a warranty either. They were found in a junk car that was hours away from being crushed about 5 years ago.
Use what you want Erica I enjoy the rants and content, too bad you didn't get your pocket clip, would you get a aftermarket from Amazon or a different website
Hello Erica, I Like your videos you are nice! What do you think about Kershaw? In my country sadly they don´t bring the US made ones only the cheap made in china, I wish I could buy only US Made
I have the bugout with the m390 blade and the spring broke with hardly no use. in short I won't be purchasing benchmade anymore. returned it, they fixed it but had massive blade play. for a company that won't let you pull it apart they should have fixed it properly. so I fixed it myself.
My knife choices are much like yours, I have some Italians mixed in too. Every now and then a traditional Case catches my eye and comes home with me. I don’t use them very often, but I always keep one in my lunch box for when a non knife person needs something to cut with and not have to try and figure out how to close it.
Spyderco for folders and a few different ones in fixed blade. Though, I recently was given a Civvi and it's a pretty good knife. Light, sharp,fast and well made. I've never liked flippers that much before,but the bearings really makes it smooth.
I’m very cool with your decisions, I’m probably just as rigid, but in different ways. Put me in the Benchmade/Spyderco camp as well. I don’t do linerlocks or framelocks, period. I don’t like risking my right thumb everytime I use one. That’s not even counting having seen a liner lock fail, or the hassle of unfucking a framelock that you gripped too tight. One added benefit of that is, I have no desire for the so called “high end” or customs since they all seem to use those locks. I am able to avoid ZT due to their locks and crappy heat treat, I’ve only ever bought one and I got rid of it. They try to pass themselves off as hard use, but they just aren’t. Any knife on ball bearings, just isn’t hard use as dirt and debris will enter the bearings and fuck it up. I do have a few Kershaws, mostly automatics, but also one shitty Hinderer collaboration that is low performance and weighs a metric fuckton. I avoid all the Chinesium D2 8cr13MoV BS knives. They are meant people to carry but rarely use the knife. I haven’t always, but have on rare occasions, and nearly always regret it.
The unifiers here are USA made and almost exclusive use of bronze washers in their pivots. Spyderco is really a revoluationary company that has had the biggest impact on the knife market. Multiple lock designs and a variety of steels, excellent ergos, and fun sprints and exclusives.
I agree with you 100 percent hun. I am a SPYDERCO FAN all the way but do own Microtek Benchmade Protek and im definately gonna buy for sure a Chris Reeve SEBENZA 31 eventually for sure.
Have u used emerson warranty? My Emerson developed severe lock play and sent knife back to Emerson. They sent me back in same exact condition with 0 fix and 0 explanation. I use knives same way with different companies and never had a lock play developed except Emerson. Complete garbage. Im done with them
Hey Erica just wanna let you know I have a benchmade clip the stainless steel one that Benchmade won’t send you I have one if you would like it just send me a message
Spyderco changed there warranty if I’m not mistaken you can now take apart your knives, they will send pocket clips screws out free of charge and body screws being sent out is hit and miss but they have sent them to me before, benchmades warranty has been great also.
Awesome thank you for that correction!
Availability is part of the reason I bailed on Hinderer.

It’s a big wide world out here lol Love your videos
What are your opinions on Hinderer knives?
you should try out hogue knives. The hogue deka is similar to the benchmade bugout.
I'm saving up for a Hogue. I think it's gonna be the Doug Ritter mini whatever-it's-called. The ones from Knifeworks.
Hadn't heard of it and just found then for $127 pre order WITH magnacut! Wow! Thanks for the heads up.

Favorite budget brand: Spyderco
Favorite luxury brand: CRK
Everything else doesn’t matter to me 😅
Benchmade guy here. Just luv the axis lock.
My top knife brands are protech, Emerson, Benchmade and chris reeve. All American companies that stand by there products
Love them Baddwisers, I dabble in the Craft as well love IPAs, Stouts, and heffies
Same boat, spydercos, benchmades, and Emerson’s. A couple CRKs as well. I’m a fan of things with no intellectual leap.
If you like Emerson give Hinderer a try!
I used to buy cold steel before the takeover. Like Spyderco as well.

@@joeallen2354 I’ve had a few bearing knives get gritty.
I hate how modding a knife voids warranty :/ you didn’t offer ti scales with a mirror polished blade 😂
Yes yes yes yes YES!!!!!
I've stuck with Benchmade knives for years. I have never bought anything else. Now that's boring....

Have u used emerson warranty? My Emerson developed severe lock play and sent knife back to Emerson. They sent me back in same exact condition with 0 fix and 0 explanation. I use knives same way with different companies and never had a lock play developed except Emerson. Complete garbage. Im done with them
