Funny you said you wished the Mini Roach had jimping, because I just got mine from Kizer and mine does have jimping right where you were talking about. I got the black one for like 37.50, they only have the green last I looked though.

Great video! Thx! Unless you’re a “hardcore” collector, I don’t see the point in buying many “premium” knives. Not with the amazing “budget” models that are now available, many of which come with decent steel. Carrying the Big & Baby Banters today…

Agreed fellas can’t see beating a knife over $100 knowone really needs more that a pyrite style knife for basic edc

Nice lineup, The Pyrite always an absolute winner. I got a Kizer Genie in 154cm on the way another stellar knife for the price. Kizer just kills it these days for value and offers so many designs. It's hard not to like Kizer.

I got a harnds time in 14c for $14 on Amazon about a year ago. Magnificent quality for how cheap it cost and the elongated thumb hole creates a lovely tuning fork esque chime when you snap it open

Never had a crossbar spring break for me either. I have old well used Bugouts and even an over 20 year old CS Recon1, back when it was a crossbar lock. Bought it when I turned 18 and daily carried it for a decade and beat the hell out of it. The blade coating was 90% worn off when I finally sanded it off. That much use. Literally been opened and closed hundreds of thousands of times. Still on the original springs. I love that knife, still carry it when camping, still beat the hell out of it. It's probably split a cord of kindling. Zero failures or issues ever. The redesign with a clunky overkill backlock was not needed. The unique fully enclosed crossbar track made it feel super solid. Upgrading it to G10 scales and a better steel was all they should have changed. I'd have bought another one.

@@GBall_Vision Nice, I absolutely love them. I carry the rhino daily because it's such a beast of a knife.

I been watching Knife channels for a long time, and I think there is a lot of money that could be made, if someone with a popular knife channel, started up their own site that functions like KZread, but for adults bc it's about knives and guns. Then your content cannot be regulated by someone else, and you can expand to firearms as well. If a popular knife KZreadr tried, I think it's possible, they already know all the important ppl in the knife world, from makers, to high end buyers, even the companies who already sponsor them by sending them knives, so they could easily spread the word to everyone in the community. You could attend blade shows and advertise ahead of time for the channel, and even months ahead of time on your youtube channel to get your subscribers there to join. I know I would go to that website all the time and I don't doubt everyone here would. I always see ppl complaining they're being censored on here bc they don't understand they agreed to the terms for KZread when they created their channel, so they have no say. They're not being censored and they don't get it, they don't understand they're not being censored bc it's the free market, and a business has a right to control what is on their platform, that's why nobody in the gun world has been successful at combating KZread's censors. It's way more possible to start your own site than it is to convince KZread to let you post whatever you want, and I wish the ppl with influence would get that and start a knife and gun video website already. Just a rant, I have been bothered by this lately, I don't think ppl understand those rules are in place to protect business owners.

The curve in the blade on the silkworm will be very good for those who may have to skin their deer + there's plenty of length for gutting and boning. I'd be care with the SOG if bought on Amazon. I bought 1 in S30V a few weeks ago and what showed up was a fake. I called SOG to confirm and they agreed it was not made by them. Amazon took it back but still its best to watch for fakes

I like the idea of all these very budget tools quite a lot but for me they all end up kind of looking the same in my eyes, g10 flipper bearing. Just something i gloss over without a second glance, not my type stuff. Theres a few i do like, and ive got a few budget blades from bestech, sanrenmu, and ganzo from years ago. They're certainly good knives and ill give them to someone who needs a blade or ill carry them or a small slipjoint like a rough ryder sometimes to remind myself that i dont actually need another Chris Reeve or some fancy supersteel. Been looking at a pyrite bowie for a little bit.
