Hogue is without a doubt the most underrated USA manufacturer. Best value, excellent qc, materials, heat treat, their edges are the best among production knives, they do the crossbar lock the best too.

Well I gotta say you just opened my eyes up yet again on some of the American made stuff! Some of them really made me dribble lol. I hope you and Kara and all your fellow Americans have a fantastic 4th of July. Much love to you all may all of you stay safe and healthy till the next time 🫵🏻😘👍🏼

Good video bro. If your new to knives this is a good reference point. Jerad covers most of the best usa companies and specific models. He also drops lots of advanced tips that u might not pick up on cause he speaks so quickly, do not be shy to rewind or ask questions.

Terrific Fourth Of July topic Jerad…..well done and much appreciated! (Except for the RobJohnsons error)

Had the Freeman 451 when it was in D2 and sold it a few months later. The striations on the grind are eye candy but are a flaw on the knife. The striations create a binding effect when making long cuts to slicing an apple. Where the striations meet with the bevel it also gets in the way when freehand sharpening. He only made the knife for a year or so and then discontinued it.

So happy to see the Hogue Myto, it’s my next grail knife, I have the Deka magnacut with OG scales, k320 aluminum with wood insert, I’ve got the knifecenter exclusive k320 with magnacut and aluminum, the exo1 4” button lock aluminum scales, and I can’t wait to get the Myto and hopefully I’ll come across a demo ad20 full thickness for less than $800, I don’t care of it’s machine ground or what, I love my 20.5 and my Arcade and I want the real deal.

Yeah I totally agree with you about the bell air the detent is just a little on the light side. Maybe I'll have to get some springs from kizer.

I have a Protech Strider PT+ in Magnacut, and I love it. So snappy and perfect size for edc.

I mighty try out that s charade Tanto. (Still have no idea what a Tonto is), If I do I will do a full hollow grind on it. I did a hollow grind on my BenchMade 940-1 in S90V an it is a super slicy and useable blade now. It was far too thick for my uses.

How would the cutting performance change once you sharpen down to the scallops on the freeman?

Thursday Captain boots are made in Mexico.

They F’d up the grind on my Cedar. Tip is messed up. Also took them weeks longer than they quoted on delivery. Also, there are sharp spots by the lock bar insert and by the tip of the pocket clip. Asked to purchase anodized hardware separately. Message was received and acknowledged by the company. Knife was sent with plain hardware without any further communication from Rob Johnson’s. Utterly disappointed in the quality and lack of communication for that price. Cannot in good conscience recommend Rob Johnson’s.

Request Jerad. I'd love to see you review a Normandy knives OTF. I like that theyve come up with a clever way to advertise on FB (we don't sell spoons). Pretty sure they're assembled in the US from Chinese parts. Prices are pretty nice, but blades are budget steel like D2.

The Rex 45 Manix is still available and is $107.76 right now!!!!! I'm assuming that is just for the 4th it us $130 normally

I think on the newer version of the micro tech socom elite they have the tip up pocket clip

Have you tried the CRKT Redemption and the Michaca auto? Im very interested in the Michaca, I have a Protech magic i think it’s called with the sliding scale action, the Michaca seems like a more affordable user version. The redemption is a huge crossbar lock knife in magnacut, I believe Hogue is the oem for the Redemption so you know its go to be excellent. I think Hogue is making the Kershaw bel air too, I think I saw it mentioned at blade show.
