Hey MC I have a Raptor incoming and just realized you haven't reviewed one yet. How have you not reviewed one yet?!?!? Cmon man! Let's GOOOOOO 🔥

It seems like I made a mistake on the base pricing. These apparently came in around $355 base, which is an absolutely fair price. My mistake! Made some edits toward the end of the video so that people get the right info 👍

I paid $625 for the damasteel version. not offended you missed out on it, but definitely one of my favorite. Sadly I still carry my benchmade hidden canyon since we have Draconian laws here in NYC. Doesn't stop me from collecting. appreciate the review.

@@virusdapimp Which NYC law prevents this from being carried? I live upstate, but I have looking into the city laws for when I'm there for work. As far as I know, the only difference is that NYC has a 4-inch blade length limit (ordinance, not law) and that it has to be concealed, and this knife comes in below that/is generally carried in a pocket.

@@GenericAssUsername Can't have "switch blades" or "gravity knives", and when I tell you they stretch those 2, ohh boy. Pretty much if you can open it single handedly, they're fishing. They so much as a clip sticking out, even for a box cutter and they're going to stop you. That's why I stick with a fix blade under 4 inches like the hidden canyon. I enjoy my knives in the safety of my home.

@@virusdapimp It must have gotten more strict since I worked there. It seems it isn't the draconian laws that are to blame. It is police being trained to misapply the law and ordinance. It would be easy enough to win in court if they did that, but it's not worth the hassle. I guess that is their strategy. Most people would just avoid the situation and not carry.

Love this knife and Brian Brown is awesome Great dude for sure

I'm glad to hear I didn't miss out on much! Thanks MC!

This cracked me up. I am brand new to knife collecting and am well aware of the Brian brown phenomenon. I really wanted on but this put things in perspective.

I actually like the plain Ti scale, but if you like milling, Fanatic Edge had some super cool versions with golf putter and checkering styles. I have the plain Ti and added the zircuti collars. Absolutely one of my favorite knives. What's extraordinary about the knife is the amazing hollow grind. You just don't see such a radically deep, thin-behind-the-edge grind every day. Of course, not long after this was released, Todd Christianson came out with his Reate-made Maverick, which has a similar hollow.

I got one!!! I bought the KnifeJoy exclusive with black handle and Damasteel blade. It’s just awesome.

That action sounds awesome 👌

I just got into collecting/buying good knives and I joined a few groups on Facebook. That's how I learn about all these custom makers and cool knives. I have the micarta inlay version and is awesome. It's perfect to me. I love the lines, I love the sounds, I love the feel.

Looks pretty similar to the WBC Factor, and i can dig the look!

I found one for $400. It's on the way. Thanks for the reviews. Keith

Hello MC, if I remember correctly I think I paid around 150 for my zurcuti kit, and I agree with the scales they are a little plain and I am highly considering sending my scales off to have some kind of a pattern put on them, and the one you are showcasing in this video is one of the knifejoy versions and the only difference is that it has a blue pivot collar instead of a satin to the collar, I have this exact version of the yeager And I purchased mine from knifejoy, hope that helps and have a good day my friend

I actually really like this knife, especially the micarta and richlite inlay variants. Only reason I can think that they were so highly anticipated is because he’s one of the more popular custom makers right now and I think this was his first production knife. I also can’t provide a rational reason for why I like this knife so much other than… KNAF LOOK PRETTY 🥴

I like the Yeager M been thinking of getting one of these or the Buster Mini We knives / Snex Knives .

🤣🤣🤣 "neat" 🤣🤣🤣 wait till you see my take on this oh man, will I get lapidated 😱 great vid Bud and appreciate the honesty 👍

I’d like to see a big brother version of this.

I think this knife with the scale texturing like kunwu orange peel would have added that little bit extra to make the scales great!

Oh...MC. Breaking all the little girls hearts.😂😁😅😆

"It doesn't have to be deep to be good." I keep telling my wife that. Thanks for the validation, MC! 🤣

Sounds nice 👍 looks like a 5 rings like a 9.

I think the plain Jane version you have was $355 from Knife Joy. The $400 versions were the CF inlays. I think they were even less through Brian himself - around 329. Agree that the knife is overhyped but it’s also excellent.

I was the one who snagged the KnifeCenter one btw.

Would you pick up a Chaves over one of these? I've been trying to decide between the two.

A 229 and a Yeager-M are both a must IMO

Protech malibu operator just got restocked on blade hq. Sold out now

In my group usually everybody by them and then turn around and sell them

I like the plain metal pivot collar but can only find this blue one, can titanium be anodised twice to maybe bump it up to gold? Ideally I’d go bronze but believe blue is past that on the scale.

Flat scales are a base for modders to anodize or mill.

I'm with you on this I actually did know about it and could have gotten it but I don't see where its anything special especially for 400 dollars I would rather buy a hinderer

I mean it's only the best Wharncliffe/reverse tanto(whatever you wanna call it) blade knife out there MC. Nothing new like you said 100 times 😂 but a must in every collection if you ask me.

Wish it had a larger finger choil and wish it had textured and contoured scales. Then it would’ve been on an entirely different level

Lol. I share your bewilderment. It’s cool, I like it. Definitely don’t love it. I thought I was missing something as well. Oh well.

*audible gasp* how dare you! Just kidding. I think it’s an amazing knife and I’d love to own one but it is similar to a lot of other so I get it. Keep up the great work!

The silhouette is really of the moment, and has the characteristics of the day - sliciness (as opposed to say, the Hinderer choppiness). Brian Brown seems like a pretty cool guy who reached out to a lot of people, non unlike Joseph Vero,.So I think that it's really easy to cheer for the man. Also, there were a lot of cool versions, and also add ons, which always gets people super enthused. I personally like my knives a bit smaller. and really like my Brian Brown Dutchman, and never got a Yeager, but hey, there you go.

I'm the gentlemen that sent it to you did you forget? lol

Well what's the point if I can't carry it while wearing my wax paper pants? Am I gonna have to break out my parachute pants? Because I will...

Penguin would take this knife's cheeks in a blind handling/fidgeting test

For 350-400 bucks I’d much sooner grab a Chaves. The size and weight of those knives alone makes ya feel like you’re getting every penny of what you paid for.

No thank you! Would rather have the we roxi 3. That’s just me though! Edit: ok it’s grown on me! I’ve grown to love this knife!

This or a microtech stitch

Sorry, I’m confused. Was this a knife review of the Yeager or was this just about you and your lack of knowledge about it? I hope you keep improving! Good luck!

Ok thats sold out next

Yup, just another reate ti framelock by a custom maker. I think people are just in this because Brian Brown himself. Can't blame them, I do the same for Brian Nadeau.

Anytime I hear someone invoke the term "knife community" like that I get suspicious that some drama or judgmental comments are on the way.

Questioning MC as a serious knife enthusiast is like questioning a golden Lab's desire to play fetch.

Mc complains that this knife is nothing special lol Next video of some shitty civivi “WOW this is impressive!!! D2 steel and g10!!!! These guys are really doing it hahaha. But I do agree this knife was over-hyped and this doesn’t make me question you credibility. What kinda does is how much you hype up the shitty knives lately. I feel like all your videos have thumbnails like “IMPRESSIVE” “THEY FINALLY DID IT!!” “WOW I DIDNT SEE THIS COMING!” And I watch the video and it’s a budget sencut, or civivi crkt etc with the same mid grade steel on a g-10 folder that’s been done way to many times. I’m not hating on those knives. They are like the target of knives. Better than Walmart but not anything to be looking at twice. Don’t get me wrong here because I literally had the same feeling about the yaeger being over hyped. I do own one and I love it but it’s not crazy. I love your channel but I think a lot of your videos are starting to sound like commercials for some of these brands.

Thanks as always for your review MC! Regarding the knife…🥱. I 100% agree with you there.
