The DeVille is my favorite knife in a long time. It's such s cool design and it functions so well. Justin is also the greatest guy! Great communication. I'm just waiting for some extra cash to get a set of his custom scales. The ghoul is also incredible! Both have really good lock bar disengagement.
I own a deville, and like u, it blew me away. It's such a good detent, and the drop is amazing. The plunge is so good, along with the hollow. dont get me wrong. it's an expensive piece but worth it, imo as the piece just looks so good, like a true custom to me. I forgot to say how good the clip is the best clip ive ever used hands down.
Its funny i carried my Deville and Halt yesterday. Glad i got some good ones. The Griffin X Series bolster lock was another of my favorites. And although the Kizer Hawk looks goofy, the Snapecho system detent, action and acoustics in s45vn for $132 is crazy. At least thats what i paid at Chicago Knife Works.
The last one you showed I think it was the XL Scthye, I was thinking Jurassic Park “Raptor Claw” too. Not sure what I’d do with it, but just kind of a mesmerizing design. Keep up all the work. Everyone lookout for Divo Knives in 2025, feels like 2024 was just a small taste at what’s possible with Kev & Colin.
The Mini Sweeney is in my Top 3 of all time. And thanks to this video, I just grabbed the Kingpin which matches my Mini Sweeney (blasted titanium and marbled carbon fiber bolster lock, yes please!). I’m excited! I’m not surprised he’s worked with Enrique cuz he’s probably my favorite designer. His Mula is also in my Top 3 and his Raptor is in my Top 10. My other Top 3 is also your fault, BTW, but it could be recency bias, being a 2025 release.
Have that same Halt and man is that a great knife been slimming down my collection and that one ain’t going anywhere! Flew under the Radar for some reason peeps should jump on it!!

Thank you so much for watching and following along. I have such a blast bringing new content to you and am always open to chatting, so feel free to reach out anytime!
-Kev
I'm honored to have made the cut Kevin! See you and the Divo team at the next Blade Show 👊
I wish you guys would post your knives.
@Elmax17.5dps What do you mean, on TH-cam?
@@nullknives I did, I really enjoy the knives you make.
@@Elmax17.5dps we can make that happen! We plan to beef up our youtube channel this year
@nullknives I'm subscribed and looking forward to them. 🤙
The Unnamed with a button compression lock and a sheepsfoot or wharncliffe blade would be a MUST BUY!
Kev! Thanks for the shoutout! awesome list and video! ATR
The DeVille is my favorite knife in a long time. It's such s cool design and it functions so well. Justin is also the greatest guy! Great communication. I'm just waiting for some extra cash to get a set of his custom scales. The ghoul is also incredible! Both have really good lock bar disengagement.
Lots of good knives in this vid but that one looks really good to me. Too bad they are all sold out.

So many great knives

Nice picks! 👌
The last one you showed I think it was the XL Scthye, I was thinking Jurassic Park “Raptor Claw” too. Not sure what I’d do with it, but just kind of a mesmerizing design.
Keep up all the work. Everyone lookout for Divo Knives in 2025, feels like 2024 was just a small taste at what’s possible with Kev & Colin.
Thanks man!
Great list man!
The Mini Sweeney is in my Top 3 of all time. And thanks to this video, I just grabbed the Kingpin which matches my Mini Sweeney (blasted titanium and marbled carbon fiber bolster lock, yes please!). I’m excited! I’m not surprised he’s worked with Enrique cuz he’s probably my favorite designer. His Mula is also in my Top 3 and his Raptor is in my Top 10. My other Top 3 is also your fault, BTW, but it could be recency bias, being a 2025 release.
And I have a Mini Growler on the way! 😁. (The pearl camo carbon escaped me though. ☹️)
It's so great having a southpaw reviewer I can trust. Nothing pisses me off more than getting a knife that socks for lefties like me. Thanks.
Yea it can be tough. Thank you!
Have that same Halt and man is that a great knife been slimming down my collection and that one ain’t going anywhere! Flew under the Radar for some reason peeps should jump on it!!
"I'm not a weirdo like that" 🤣
😂 some ppl be selecting their own knives for these lists.
Excellent selection. I might argue with the order but not the actual knives.
Could not agree with you more about the Ghoul with a Voidoo or Sheepsfoot style blade!
Hey, Kev.
🤘🏼✌🏼
How’d the Protean fare for you?
If they did the Halt in a drop point I think it would sell better
Man I gotta get me a DeVille. Not sure why I slept on it
Any information or link for Corey Dunlop sharpening services? Thanks Kev!
If you google that he comes right up. www.coreydunlap.com
Divo Fireball is my 2024 Knife of the Year.
Heck yea. Thanks man!
My votes for best of 2024 are... Null Knives Ghoul, Vero Nova, Arcform Sabre, and the Big i Design Ti Pocket Knife 2
My bad.... Arcform Theory..
CJRB needs to do a Pyrite LTL, Pyrite Light Top Kiner Lock.
Out of retirement 👏🏻
milled-clip compatible Pocket Clip but ships with Wire Clip Is %100 the future.
What!? No Divo knives!? I'm out. This guy sucks.
😂. Im not putting my own knives on a best of list
For me the best knives of 2024 are the survivors I've owned for as long as 50 years - one being a very old model Victorinox 84 mm Bantam which I carried in my pocket everyday to work for 35 years before retiring in 2010 and another which I still carry frequently is the Victorinox 91mm Troubleshooter which was made prior to 1992. I have also a Buck 110 which is at least 30 years old but rarely carried by me nowadays as I have a 2nd one which I was gifted 3 years ago.
Please use this for constructive reasons.
I have not watched you before, but i did watch the whole video even though I was disinterested from the start.
Reasons: Boring (slow and momotone) and no one really cares where YOU got a knife, unless you're telling us where WE can get one. You spent way too much of my life talking about you, not the knives.
Pls do better. Sry if you get hurt feelings from this.
Thanks John. This just might not be the channel for you. I am overly transparent and there is usually a story associated with every brand or knife. If you want all the details you come here. If you just want specs and video of the knife, there are tons of channels for that. I do appreciate the feedback though. You would really hate my early content 😂.
For me Divo Nip Slip
Sweet thanks. My favorite as well.
