Really enjoyed your seminar about a few different knives and steel nice learning new stuff all the time can't wait for the other videos thank you brother
If we talk about D2 I still think ganzo is on top of list. Every test of their D2 hit the 60-61.5hrc and with their prices you can't get anything better in that quality and finish. D2 is great edc steel and if you just keep it clean and don't sharpen it beyond 15* per side you will get great everyday beater that you will not worry if you mess it.
D2 is a fine steel. Bugouts though are S30V not S35VN. Also this is not a Bugout buster, it will not replace a single Bugout already owned nor will it hurt Benchmade's sales of them. I'd argue the quality control Variations will drive people to buy a better quality knife. Consider this knife like a Gateway Knife. The people that assume this is a Bugout Killer are the same people that complain that no one needs a knife over $20-$30. Eafengrow cost about $27 with D2 and Axis lock on select models. For $17 dollars more they are 500% better quality, fit and finish. I torture tested one of these to failure, vids up on my YT Channel. They hold up alright, but the overall lack of a quality feel and QC issues keeps this knife limited to tossing in a glove box, tackle box, or gardening duty. This fills a niche for people that do no want to beat up an expensive knife and would rather throw a knife in the trash instead of sharpening it. Decent knife also for younger folk that use a knife to clean battery posts.😅
I love my Spidercos but Benchmade is just out there in some of their prices. Dollar for dollar i will take this knife with D2 over the bugout at cost with s30v I have enough paramilitary two's well under $200.00 not over especially when it only costs Benchmade only 27 bucks each per bugout the make lol
@@Kodiak_Edge I hate really disagree here but no way in Oregon with the wages they pay are they getting by at $27. In today's time Spyderco is not even under $200 for a PM2 unless it's LW and then you have the same material as Bugout scales. People are comparing Spyderco prices and forget the two are very much in line. Only Benchmade has a vast amount of designs, Spyderco has a vast amount of steels but hardly create new designs.
@@arkansas_edc When knife manufactures make a knife the costs of materials don't exceed10% of the total costs of each knife made, labor per knife doesn't exceed 40% so 50% is pure profit. So when they buy the steel and other materials for any particular knife they get it in bulk rate. example; one blank of magnacut that will produce 4 blades for 4 knives costs around a $100.00 from Crucible Industries but bought in large bulk like most knife manufactures get it in only costs them $25.00 a blank to make 4 blades, same with all other materials, so 1 knife made with magnacut or even S30v costs them around $6.00 a blade and around that for all other materials so you looking at roughly $25.00 dollars to make one knife at a bulk rate! material and labor 50% and profit is 50%! so if a bugout goes for $170.00 the profit is $85.00 a knife!! not bad when you punch out 1,000 daily in knives!! that is 85K a day they are making and 85K a day for labor for 140 employees at Benchmade that would be $607.00 to have per employee daily!! I know exactly what they make and annually it's around 50 million.

You bet! I have two Ganzo tool company knives in my collection both mustangs.
Have you checked out the Harbour Freight Icon flipper knife? Also D2. I think it's an amazing knife, also excellent value.
I will have to thanks!

3 of my Paramilitary 2's cost me $170.00 new! I have others over $200.00
@@Kodiak_Edge Even if your math was mathimg right, your leaving out a lot of other costs. In no way do you know what they make or thier costs.
