Definitely! I totally could use this with fruits or veggies :) But I won’t since this knife is technically not mine ahaha. Thank you so much for watching 😊
I too like the ergonomics on this one. Do your nails get in the way of a Spydie-flick? Can’t say it’s factory edge. I brushed it up with the new Worksharp 😁 thanks for the shoutout!
It probably could be my nails! I tend to keep them on the longer side haha! But you did a wonderful job! I was so surprised with how sharp it was. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Joe Blades.... I have the Yojimbo smaller brother of Yojumbo. What I think has a stronger tip than Yojimbo is the Spyderco Canis. I bought the Canis couple months ago and like it alot .
The Ronin fixed blade (which is similar to those mentioned) is really awesome. The steel on the Ronin is bd1n which has a slight advantage in toughness, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability over the S30v used in yojimbo, jumbo, and Canis. However I really admire the all black DLC yojimbo and the Canis for the really unique grind.
As for Chinese Spydercos, I like the tenacious a bit more, especially in s35vn. The Polestar and Starling models are also very nice and they come in BD1 which is slightly better than 8cr13mov.
Ooo, I’ve yet to purchase a knife in BD1 but I’ll definitely look into it!! I own the Persistence which is super similar to the Tenacious!! Thanks for stopping by :))
About the only knives I carry anymore are Spyderco. Usually budget line ones like this that I managed to get for a really good deal second hand with the exception of the Cricket. Though I'm a big proponent of the idea that, if you plan you need your knife emergency fast, you should be thinking of using a fixed blade, when it comes to folders I tend to promote Mike Janich's methodology of not flicking but keeping your thumb in the hole and actuate it throughout the entirety of the arc. It's much more reliable and transfers much better from one knife to another, which is important if you tend to frequently rotate your carry knife. Then it doesn't matter so much if the action isn't super smooth. I do like the knives in this line though. I get to mess with a lot of them because I've always got people asking me to do pimp jobs on them, ever since I did my friend's Tenacious years ago. But I especially like these with no or at least a reduced thumb ramp. I could go on for hours about how making a utility knife with an almost dedicated saber grip profile is one of the dumbest things most knife manufacturers are guilty of, but suffice it to say it's a big pet peeve of mine.
Thank you so much for your comment!! Same applies to me, I find myself carrying Spyderco most of the time. The price just makes sense to me, and they definitely have to be my favorite brand hands-down. I only have one fixed blade currently that I don’t carry too often just because of the size. It’s a really old Cold Steel, but I’m looking to check out some more soon!! If you have any recommendations let me know lol! And what kind of work do you do on knives? That’s really interesting! Thank you so much for watching my video :))
@@jadineorbe Well, I'd say while their prices are HORRIBLE, they aren't as good as they used to be. Especially compounding current inflation on top of their decision to issue a minimum resale price to all their distributors that made the good deals you used to be able to find on some virtually disappeare over night. That's why I tend to, with very very few exceptions, only get them when I can find them second hand for a really good deal. I've just noticed that, while they make good stuff, we're starting to see a trend in diminishing returns from that company along with just some really questionable business decisions, like the Janisong for example. Which I'm still kinda pissed about. I actually still have the paperwork to start a design collaboration with them and it's been sitting on my bookshelf for years now just because I started to get wary of the direction they're heading right now. When it comes to recommendations, it's hard to say. Firstly because when it comes to carrying fixed blades I don't know what you prefer. And if you're not used to carrying fixed blades you might not be entirely sure what you prefer yet either. It's one of those things that takes some dialing in. I think the industry standard tends to be the ESEE Izula. I had one for years and carried it a lot. Very basic, pragmatic, smaller fixed blade that doesn't break the bank. If you like Spyderco their Enuff line it pretty cool. Another small one that decent if you're willing to have a better sheath made. The one it comes with is this stupid FRN material so it literally dulls the edge just sitting in the sheath because of the "F" in FRN, which is a glass fiber that wreaks hell on the edge. But the knife itself is wonderful. Very user friendly. And the carry clip they make, the G-Clip, is the only one I use for fixed carry. It's really light, really durable, really versatile, and since I tend to wear a lot of pants and shorts without belt loops it works great for that too. As for my work with knives I mostly make them. Small EDC style fixed blades mostly and large 14"+ blade choppers. Lots a defensive application stuff, along with NPE knives and impact tools and things like that. I'm also big into archeological analysis of historical tools and weapons and like to recreate them using modern methods and materials. But I also do some customization to production knives. Etching, stone washing, regrinding, reprofiling, etc. Lots of people like having me adjust the locks and tension bars on their folders to improve the action. I have an old ZT0350BW I used to show off and people say it's the smoothest non bearing pivot they've felt. Haha. And I've also done some industrial design collaboration that's still available right now. But that wasn't the best experience and it put me off it for a long time. And yeah no problem. Good content. It's concise and informative. I don't like the 13+ minute long "reviews" that are mostly specs and show and tell. Analysis and experience are the most important parts of a review and you get straight to business. So that's not lost on me.
Beautiful knife Spyderco!!🌞👍🔪
It’s a cool knife…..and I think the design of the blade is more for cutting and kitchen use and have a great Tuesday too☺️
Definitely! I totally could use this with fruits or veggies :) But I won’t since this knife is technically not mine ahaha. Thank you so much for watching 😊

Very cool knife community loaning out knives for review. Great video!
One of the best things about this community! People are so incredibly generous. This has been such a cool opportunity :))
