Glad to see the Buck 110 made the list. It was the first blade that i carried that i felt beat all my other knives in terms of reliability. Traditional knives just work, and they do it well.

I love that you can still go to Walmart and buy a Buck 110 or a Kershaw Blur for a reasonable price. They're both great knives and available just about anywhere that big stupid store is. That speaks volumes about how popular/iconic they really are

I have 4 Praxis knives. Hands down my favorite pocket knife ever made!

Kershaw will replace springs and parts for free. Cheap blade replacement. Their warranty is as good as Benchmade's.

Buck ranger was nice too, just one step down from the 110, same look👍 actually bought one for my father 30 yrs ago, now I have it🙏

SAK, Buck 110/112, Gerber Gatorskin, Spyderco Para, Leatherman, Kabar Dozier, Opinel, Ken Onion Leek, Benchmade 940, Sebenza .. and nothing has changed in the field but time will tell.

My 1st real knife, Buck 110 ...Still have it after 50 yrs. (1974)! This knife actually started my knife journey a couple yrs ago.

I got a RAT 1 years ago as a gift. Its been my worker from day one. From work, to home, to EDC. Has never let me down.

So glad you put the Manix 2 on this. For a second you had me scared. 🤣

I love Wharncliffe blades. So, the Yojimbo should be an icon knife. They are self-defense knives (and they are), but they slice perfectly and cut "right down the line" to the front of the point. Wharncliffes are more than self-defense knives.

@davec3651

Yojimbo is my favorite Spyderco. Yes belly is useful here and there for sure, but for the most part a good wharncliffe kicks butt for most general EDC uses and the tip and straight edge yields some advantages. Extra easy to maintain the edge too.

There are so many iconic knives that I've seen through the years but I got to amit back in the day and even to today the Buck 110 was the most recognized and iconic folder ever everywhere. similar to what a Bowie is in fixed blade terms at least in North America. In other countries it may be Opinel or Mora for example in Europe, or the Gurkha kukri in Nepal, Or the Canadian belt knife from Grohmann in Canada. All knives that have had a lasting impression in their areas and are still made to this day. So many others could be added to this list but you have definatly touched on some awesome ones. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

I have the same Mini Socom (M-SOCOM-A, 300149), but in satin serrated. New in box! Made 8/99

Congrats on the Hello Fresh sponsorship ! Sweet video like always

I was very late to the game on the 940. I am not crazy about it's aesthetics and how narrow the blade is. I avoided her for years. But when I finally got one, maybe a year a go, wow, I was impressed.

I have a rainbow leak and a Damascus leak and like you say I’ve given away several of these because they are just so cool

Throwing in my 2 cents: Cold Steel American Lawman, Civivi Elementum (all versions), CRKT Minimalist, Cold Steel Code 4, and flip a coin for CJRB Centros/Feldspar. Finally, if Iconic is the theme, then the entire Cold Steel Tanto series including the Mini Tanto 4" (discontinued in 2000) where the Western Tanto was born, and often overlooked but consistently used, the many Swiss Army models.

Excellent list of iconic folders. Might have included Emerson Wave, and Bob Lum Spyderco.

Wow, great video. This video about iconic knives should also itself be rated "iconic" because you've covered so much so well.

That exact kershaw leek bought at Dick's sporting goods about 8 years ago (my only edc for about 2) is what got me into collecting hardcore. although I've had pocket knives for 30 plus years (Case, Swiss army, SOG, Scharade, Buck, Gerber ect...) there was just something about it that felt quality and I did like the assist as well starting out until I got spoiled on better options later on. 😂 Plus it's USA made using the best budget still in my opinion it's really a phenomenal deal when you compare it to other options 🔥 I have two of them my original first one was lost and I bought a black one just like it to replace it, I carried that one for another couple years and then lost it as well. So then I started looking on Amazon for a replacement & got a red handle black bladed Leek (of course I found the black one a week after I got the new one) but that's what really got me looking on Amazon and I saw the Civivi s and ended up getting the elementum. Then I somehow ended up on Blade HQ and it's just been a 🐇🕳️ ever since 😭😂✌🏻

I feel like the Ka-Bar USMC, the classic Benchmade Balisong, and the Microtech Ultratech should be on this list

9.5/10. I had to deduct half a point for no Boker Mermaid. Glad to see the Buck 110 as #1.

I would've picked the Blur over the Leek. I like the Leek, but I'm not a big fan of how thin the tip is and the slide safety. My wife loves hers though.

@desertratedc9596

I can understand but to be far when I first got into the knife game the only kershaw I could recognize was the Leek. Few years later I discovered people carrying the Cryo but the leek was definitely more prominent... at least in my area at that time. To be honest my area is probably not the best example though being a farming community you were more likely to find a cheap no name knife, Buck 110 or a leatherman in pocket or on the hip in a pouch.

I just recommended the Leek to a guy looking for a tough work knife. It’s got 14c28N steel which is super tough and stainless and it can take a beating. It also fits the under 3 knife laws he wanted!

Kershaw leek was my first real edc. That i "borrowed" from my uncle. 🤣 loved that thing. Delica was the first real knife I bought myself. ❤️ spydies vg10 gets scary sharp. Scary fast. Kara that steak flop was hilarious. Glad you kept that in there. Jeard's face. 🤣 yall are too much.

Kershaw has an excellent parts replacement policy. You can easily restore your leek to full functionality.

I get jealous every time I see that shipwreck delica handle, absolutely beautiful with the black hardware and blade

You are right on with your list. Also Esee's guarantee proves they all could do it if they want. Atleast most companies. Might have something to do with it being an AL company

Wow, forgot how much I want a Socom. 🤣 What a blade!

Spyderco Delica was the knife that got me into quality knives. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd Buck 110, but they always suffered from the drawback of no clip and their weight, so they weren't a gateway for me. One of the 110s I found on one of the busiest streets in Las Vegas. It looks "well used", but works great. I've had a couple SAKs, but they never really struck me as "knives", so they didna do it. Thus far on your list, I've got the Delica, Griptilian & MiniGrip, a couple of Moras, Buck 110. Looking to add a RAT or 2. I think that the ESEE Izula MIGHT qualify for your list, methinks it's probably THE iconic knife in it's category.

Hello thank's for all your vidéos. Y like. .very complete....please sorry for my english..what is the bottom on the pm3 ? Where can y find this...? Thank's

If I remember right, the Bugout and Shaman both came out in 2017 and I also I feel like the Para 3 was right before that. Lastly I’m on the same page with you as far as the Manix being more iconic than the Shaman. Solid list!

I cannot bring myself to like the compression lock.

loving these videos

What’s your thoughts on 15v steel?

Totally agree 👍 those are great Lil knives

Jared, could you see AD20.5 being in this list. Possibly a flash in the pan (I don’t think so) or in it for the long run. I think the shark lock has great future.

the one I'm wantn so much is the Rift

Ya I get torn slightly between those but Manix XL comes out on top Shaman is Awesome though

Great video!! Manix2 for me, sheepsfoot grip.

The leek was my first knife. I’ve had like 5 of them over the years and I just recently switched over to a mini bugout. It’s a great knife but I’ve moved on lol.

The problem is I named my cat Strider (LoTR) and now I want one lol. I like how the handle is shaped on strider knives, I haven't seen many folders that taper larger towards the back of the handle like that.

where did you get those purple carbon fiber pm2 scales?

Hello fresh really does have great food, I’ve tried it a few times in the past.

The deka in magnacut is the best lightweight knife, it blows the bugout out of the water, the only fault on the deka is no aftermarket scales. I like the bugout but they need to offer blade steels like the bailout has.

i had that kershaw but lost it but anyway 3rd day of trying can you cheack out the case blackhorn

Benchmade has become the master of giving you “more for less”...D’oh...I got that backwards!

I love my leek g10 S30v, excellent edc

I loved the video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 pretty much got everything on that list except for the Strider, Chris Reeves and the Buck 110. I do have a blinged out Chinese Buck from back in the day that my grandfather owned so it's got sentimental value.

I think the Doug Ritter rsk mk1 should be on here too. But then again it’s not been around for as long as some of these other fine choices

I have several of these on the list. I have a QSP Nokomis(a better Leek homage, IMO) Love my Manix 2 Lite, PM 3 and Pacific Salt. Cold Steel SR1, AK47, Recon 1 and Code4.

So I was gonna buy a socom elite until I got it in hand. See I believe it would be great for a hard use tactical looking knife, but not the perfect tactical knife. I felt like the handle shape was too tapered at the butt meaning you would have to really grip hard on the knife to hold on during an altercation and the traction on the grip was rather slippery. I realize they designed it this way so when you hold in Sabre grip you can point the tip forward and slash better. That being said I believe this comes at a cost of not stabbing as well as it would be harder to pull out.

I have a old timer skinning fixed blade that was given to me by my wife’s father. I know it was abused and still looks great.

I really want a fixed blade leek ( same size blade shape ect )

Love bugoutbart 😍

The Rat 2 has a BIG fatal flaw to me, the tip doesn't sit far enough in the handle! I got cut pretty good just reaching to pull it out of my pocket..

I think if the RAT was too get a modern face-lift then it may have had an even better chance of beating out the Praxis. I love my RAT 1 but I have also owned it since 2012.

I would imagine what will become “iconic” will be limited to a few. Maybe one per few manufacturers of mass scale. Much like the Ford Model T or the VW Bug...
