    I’ve handed a stock blue bugout and a kershaw iridium to probably 5 or 6 people now and every single person thinks the iridium is the nicer knife by far. My uninitiated buddy said that the iridium feels and looks like a premium knife. Kershaw is really knocking out the park these days. Love my bugouts, but I t’s really hard to justify the pricetag of the the s30v bugout.
    Great video brotha

      Thanks man I appreciate the support. Kershaw has done an awesome job with the duralock and honestly the cheaper Heist model with plastic handles seemed to have a better action when I got to hold in store. Might be worth checking out especially for "non knife" guys. Thanks for watching!

    The CJRB Pyrite Lite is the real Bugout killer if you aren't completely strict about weight. It weighs an ounce more than the standard Bugout, but that's because it has full liners which makes it much more sturdy. However, the Pyrite Lite is also only 30 bucks currently.

    The cmb made knives predator v2 is great budget bugout alternative. 3.42 blade length. 14c28n blade steel. Axis lock. And choice of micarta or g10 handle. Usually goes for $60 but I did get mine on sale for $41 and change.

    I'm not a Bugout or crossbar lock fan, but I do kinda like the bailout. The Al/m4 version is one of my go-to beaters.
    I'm pretty excited for the Boker TDK.

      The Bailout is a very well made knife and I enjoyed using it, the ergonomics just weren't for me. It felt a little weird when I went to close it when compared to knives with thicker/wider scales but that doesn't mean it isn't a great alternative. Thanks for watching!

      Couldn't agree more about the handle. I don't understand the current fad with making handles as thin as possible. It's sacrificing almost all in hand comfort, to make it pocket a tiny bit better.
      The Bailout is the last thin handle knife I own, and i really only keep it around because the m4 in my example) is so well done.
      Under .40" thick is pretty much a non-starter for me, and under .45" has to be something special for me to really like it. I prefer .50" for slabs, or .55-60" for contoured handles.

    The Mini-Psyops, Kershaw Bel-Air, and the Hogue Decka??? Any three of those is a better choice than the Bug Out but yet not talked about? 🤔😔

    • @DXSharpening
      @DXSharpening  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not familiar with the Mini-Psyops, I forgot the Bel-Air model in particular but I did mention some of the other nice Kershaw Duralock knives, and the Deka has some issues that I've seen online with poor heat treat of their steel & I haven't personally owned/used one. Definitely will check out the Mini-Psyops though as I haven't ever heard of it. Thanks for the comment!

    What about the cold steel American lawman s35vn steel, it's about 105 bucks. Triad lock is very very strong. I don't trust the Omega springs with Benchmade. They broke in my bug out before I fixed it and then I sold it last month. I got the super freak in m4 and I like it but I just don't trust the Omega springs. I thought I was over it. I like to fidget and I don't feel like fixing Omega springs again so I may sell it

    • @DXSharpening
      @DXSharpening  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think playing with Benchmades definitely seems to decrease the life of the springs which is an unfortunate reality for many people. I don't have any experience with the triad lock but would love to check it out. Thanks for the comments!

    The problem with the Case Marilla and Kinzua is that they aren’t great cutters…way too thick on blade stock.. and they run the steel really soft. They are great designs though!

      I don't own one and have never used one, I have also seen some things about a very poor heat treat on their steel which would make me hesitant to purchase... I definitely plan on checking it out in the coming weeks!

  • @etienneportail5122
    @etienneportail5122 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The only alternative you’ve shown is the Para 3 - all other knives are comparing apples and pears, since the weight in combination with a pretty good steel and the great lock mechanism and the very simple but classic design are essential 4 features that none of the others have. Therefore I also do not understand the enthusiasm for different scales on the Bugout like heavy titanium scales etc. It’s like a tractor tire on a Ferrari 😂

    • @DXSharpening
      @DXSharpening  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think once you get past a certain weight level it really doesn't make a difference...

  • @BeepTalford-nu8mm

    The magnacut hogue deka should have made the list based simply on value over the bugout.

    • @DXSharpening
      @DXSharpening  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lots of people have recommended the deka, I have not owned or used one and I have seen lots of questionable videos regarding it's heat treat. If I end up getting my hands on one and can see for myself I would happily add it, but I'm hesitant to recommend something that I don't have experience with and I have seen some pretty major negatives with.

    The bugout is not a classic. The Griptilian is a classic. The bugout was a hype overly pushed by youtubers. There are hundreds of folding knives much better than the bugout. To this day I can't believe this model got good sales.

    • @DXSharpening
      @DXSharpening  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's been out for 10 years now and is probably one of Benchmade's best selling models... love it or hate it, it certainly has played a large role in the industry. While I think it is absurdly overpriced, I still think it is a great little knife that is good at almost everything but not great at one thing in particular. Thanks for watching!
