We got to hear Jamie’s vocals 👌 also that fixed blade with olive wood scales is beautiful!

I have a Kershaw Blur that I got like 10 years ago. Black with s30v stonewash. I freaking love that knife! Still works great and stays sharp forever. Nice and light. Pocket clip works easy and great. The black color and black clip make it stealthy. Flips awesome and thumb studs are machined great! Love it!

I used to carry the Rat 2 in AUS-8 all the time, I absolutely love that knife, especially the way it carries for a larger pocket knife. I cleaned and quartered my first buck with the R2 and it ran flawlessly, and never had to sharpen it during the process. Would highly recommend that knife to anyone

I just realized all the knifes were linked in the description, thanks for that🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m stoked my knife made the list. I own a lot of knives. I always come back to the case trapper.

Such a great video guys, thank you - just what we all needed! I’d really appreciate another video on super compact fixed blades, along the lines of the ferrum forge lackey/giant mouse gmf1/lionsteel M1 type knives and to hear what you’d recommend for a super hard use EDC 3 inch super-steel belt knife! Keep up the good work and stay safe everyone. Warmest regards from the UK

A Dremel tool with a polymer abrasive can quickly make a cheap knife feel very nice.

Both of you are doing a great job talking about theses knifes .it gets our minds off the bad times that we all are going through right now but it will get better you two stay safe .

Just want to say thanks for the video. Given the circumstances it was great to watch. You guys are awesome. These videos mean more than you know.

Case Sodbuster jr. Light in the pocket, smooth around the edges so it carries comfortable. Very capable. You've got to respect it though as it doesn't lock.

I've had my esee uzula for 8 years and I've beaten the crap out of that little knife! Best $60 I've ever spent on a knife.

Thanks for making this and keeping our spirits up. You guys are the best!

This video was great. I really needed something like this right about now. Thanks, guys! The entire world is either running a skeleton screw or not at all, so keep up the content; it really helps the community relax a little bit.

I hate carrying these types of pocket knives, but for some reason I love looking at them and watching these videos because they are beautiful knives. For me, these knives always get their pocket clips snagged on something! I carry my Leatherman on my belt and it never gets snagged on anything. If I carry a knife it’s my victorinox mechanic in my pocket.

you should do a bladehq shop tour of the total place. that would be awesome. i also think that you guys should do a how you got into knives story banter.

Any Gonzo g-lock knife. Plenty of designs to choose from, all with g10 scales and 440c steel for around $20 on amazon. They're actually quality knives. Gotta disassemble them and tweak a few things to get them smooth as a benchmade but there are plenty of yt tutorials.

Never apologize for the bugout. It is an amazing knife sure it’s not for everyone but I think it could be a great knife for like 85% of people (assuming they would pay that amount)

I'm currently EDCing the TOPS Knives MIL-SPIE 3.5. It is by far my favorite knife ever! Quality is unmatched. Thanks Blade HQ!

Can’t say enough good things about both of them. They are definitely in my edc rotation.

Good. Beards are out. Thank you guys and gals for your time and work. I've resisted so far. Great show.

Protech model 2308 Strider + Pro-Tech PT Automatic Knife Knurled Black (2.75" Black Serr) Copy & pasted from your website. I've owned a ridiculous amount of knives in the 25yrs of buying/selling & collecting. This knife is hands down my favorite. It's a Protech, so you know it's built to some of the highest standards. The action is smooth & powerful. Solid lock-up. The knurled grip is THE BEST feature. The knife just fits my hand perfectly & it's so lightweight! I use serrated blades for my cutting needs & that little bit of a straight edge on it still works perfectly for opening up boxes or mail or whatever you need. You gotta try one of these out. The no slip grip is fantastic!

I love that Spydiechef! It is nice having your videos to take my mind off of things.

I’m liking the Vosteed Acorn the more I use and play with it even in my big hand. I also like the micarta scales and top flipper!

I bought a new blue Demko ad15 mg with full textured titanium handles and a sculpted lock earlier this week and it finally arrived tonight. I couldn’t be happier, and it fits right in with my Norsemen (yes, plural 😉). Used it to cut some salami for dinner just a little bit ago, the blade is a little thick, but it did a really good job regardless. If I only I could carry it somewhere other than to the living room... stay healthy everyone!

You talking about knifes to us is good therapy to us dave .

My new favorite is definitely my Orange Grivory Benchmade Mini Bugout with satin drop point. I've semi retired my Microtech Ultratech UTX 85 and UTX 70 blades. I carried a Mini Griptilian for years back in the day, but gave that knife away and almost immediately regretted it until I got my CR Small Sebenza Insingo Left Handed. Now that I've got the Benchmade back with that awesome Ambidextrous lock....a replacement will be hard pressed to make it into my pocket. Cheers Guys! Zip~

I started to get back into knives a few years ago. I have this one knife I EDC carried for over 25 years now. I had this knife since I was 15 and made a trade for it with my friend and never knew if it was a good knife until I started watching all these knife videos and live streams. It turned out to be a Spyderco Delica I believe, maybe an endura if they made them that long ago, full spider serrated blade. I cleaned and sharpened this knife only once in 25 years. Still works perfect, still carry it for my EDC until I get my Benchmade Persidio 2. P.S. - It's true, knife people are the best people...
