I love the Escort so much I bought 3 of them. Got the 20CV version for $89 and then bought the two 154CM versions... its an excellent knife.

I love my Towser K. Got the red Micarta. I pull it out when I have the need or just in the mood to slice cardboard.

Button lock only Elementum is the best Elementum, hands down. I also love the fixed blade - definitely getting the Damascus mini fixed Elementum

Thanks for sharing bud!👊🏻Always useful information

Great video Jerad! Some real solid picks on there, it would be tough to argue that list, even though there are so many great budget edc knives out there today! Awesome job as usual with describing all the attributes and fractures with each knife.

I’m read for the XL Pyrite Wharny in titanium with Micarta inlays. I hope knifecenter does that one like the others.

I have many EDC knives. My favourite for utility, durability, and convenience? The first lock blade I ever bought back in the early 70's, a Buck 110 Folding Hunter. I still have it today. Nothing has worn out, nothing has broken, and the lock has never failed. I've used it for everything from a knife to a light weight pry bar to a light weight hammer. It has been thoroughly abused. Other knives are lighter, prettier, less conspicuous, sharper, and on and on. But the original Buck knife can't be beat for simplicity, strength, and shear reliability. And in the end, that's what I want; a knife that works, first time, every time.

Thanks for the recommendations

My Mad Tanto is one of my favorite knives. Amazing action on it. The only knife I own with better ergos is my PM2. So comfortable in hand with the excellent micarta. And that sexy grind....

Great selection of quality budget friendly knives.

That Lieb M is just too perfect

Kizer is doing a great job lately in the affordable knives category I like their models more than most Civivis.

Jared, what do think about the general quality of knife brand Beyond EDC knives? Thank you for your feedback.

I really like the Kizer Tower S action awesome multi roll bearings. This is the poor man's F5.5 or budget F5.5 😂 I have TI and micarta F5.5 they are very similar visually that's it though lol...Tower S is a lil thick handles. I love both knives 🤙💯🔥

I just got my Civivi Altis. EPIC!!!

My Sasche broke. It wouldn't lock open and wouldn't close, and the button was sticking out at a weird angle. I contacted Sencut warranty service, sent the knife to them, and they are replacing the knife. Since they are replacing not repairing, it was obviously a ctrastrophic failure, but it's good to know they DO back up their product. I'm sure this was a one off issue, and most other Sache's will be fine. Just wanted to point out their good customer service regarding their warranty.

Have you checked out Kubey? Not your typical Chinese manufacturer... these guys actually take pride in their work. I think you'd like their inventory. Personally I have the Elang... it's got good crisp action, a nice heft with the feel of good build quality, actual micarta scales... the steel may not be the highest quality available (honestly I don't know about steel grades, so I couldn't say) but I know enough from experience that I can tell you the blade will hold up to what I needed to. It is pretty thick (as thick as fixed blade knives you'd belay kindling with) so a bit harder to put an edge on it, but it seems like it'll hold an edge a little longer than most thinner blades so pro's and cons I guess. It is on the bigger end, but it's also not their only knife. It was stupid inexpensive for the build quality and the amount of knife you get at only $45 USD from their US outlet (eBay). Anyways, if you haven't checked them out, I get the hesitation, but I think they may be worth a gander.

After having the elementum as my first knife, and then buying many others, and giving my wife my elementum, and picking it back up to check out, I do not like it, but this is the 2 yrs ago model. The handle frame is too thin and when you squeeze the handle, you can feel it bend. The G10 is too thin, so where the line lock moves away from the handle when the blade is out, the stiffness really drops.

@mikerollins3088

I had the original elemwntum in D2/G10 and I never saw the hype with it. Mine didn't have great action either, as probably 60% of the time when I'd pick it up to flick it open it wouldn't open all the way. It's possible I could've just tweaked it and made it better, but I figured out of the box it should at least open correctly.

I am one of those "tacti-cringe" knife collectors who happens to like blacked out knives, and it drives my OCD absolutely nuts! Shame, too, as I love the Pyrite Alt and would get a couple of them, an Ekko, and a Frack if my brain would STFU long enough for me to be able to enjoy them.

Probably the minority on this, but I much prefer the black micarta on the escort compared the aluminum. Feels super cheap, and less comfortable in hand. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Their button locks are “ehhh” but build quality is spot on. I may attempt to buy the mad Tanto because of your and Metal Complex’s recommendations. I’ve had serious issues with button locks unintentionally deploying during usage….but I’m hyped about the “Mad tanto”! I wouldn’t recommend the Kizer assassin because of the aforementioned issue, even though the micarta did patina splendidly. Its detent was sticky and the button lock sucked! I also had issues with a few civivi, button locks… if it’s inset like the mad tanto it might be better, the ones I had issues with are buttons that stick out above the scale height.
