    What's good, senior seth. Weird openin, sure, but it felt right. Is there a possibility for a fixed blade review with nearly the level of familiarity, touchy feely insightfulness? I love folders, I've had tons and tons. But I guess about ten or twelve years ago I just quit hiding it and when those around me got settled into it, I found the acceptance I'd always hoped for. No longer a private parttime assassin in hiding. Lol. Thanks

    I love the rounded scales of the wharncliff baby banter so much, but agree the blade is much harder to use. I swapped the scales onto my regular baby banter and that is possibly the best small knife. The knafs lander is also pretty good, but the baby banter has the most satisfying flick open. Will have to try out the runt 5 now tho..

    Im curious if you have ever tried or have any thoughts on the CIVIVI Vision FG?

    • @seth30v
      @seth30v День назад

      Yeah, the CIVIVI Vision FG is a better knife for almost everyone in virtually every way. It’s cheaper, easier to use (thumbstud), and easier to carry (conventional pocket clip). Only drawbacks are that it’s a little heavier than it should be, and doesn’t look as good as the WE Vision (imo). If CIVIVI ever makes a Vision FG without the steel liners I will definitely be getting one.

    I have all of the knives mentioned here, and I put the Military 2 in my pocket the most. Rarely if ever reach for a PM2. At one point in time, I was indeed a fanboy of it.

    51:17 that’s something I will never understand; getting a knife (or a firearm, same thing) with the intention of potentially selling it is like making a child with the intention to put it up for adoption if it’s not at your liking 😂

    14:28 I did the exact same thing with my edc’s. I always carry (have been for many years) the same 3 (4 but the forth as only been added less than a year ago to the small select club) knives, sometimes all 3 at at time but mostly 2/3 comes out while the third is on the knife bench getting some tlc. Well as it has been years and I still enjoy them just as much as when I initially got them, and I don’t plan on changing for many years to come (I still acquire new blades on a semi regular basis, at least once every couple months minimum) but none have dethroned my edc combo. All that to say, I love those 3 so much, I have a new in sealed box backup, hiden in a safe, for all 3 (haven’t purchased the backup for #4 yet). Once you find what is perfection for your personal taste/hands/chosen use case and start carrying it everyday, the last thing you want is for it to be sold out or worse; discontinued, if the time ever comes that you need to replace it. By having a backup already ready to go, on top of HAVING A BACKUP READY TO GO, thus no down time, you get to drown your sorrows of loosing your favourite blade by opening a brand new one in box without delay.

I hate that they discontinue models... it's just like when they DC my favorite lipstick color. Thank you for the video and sharing your collection.

    Certain colors for certain applications. Vibrant neons for possible chaotic use situations so it becomes less of a search for the blade because it stands out like a sore thumb

    the thing is, a victorinox huntsman does the same things as theese (maybe a bit worse), and you have soo many tools at your disposal for a fraction of the cost of most of theese. honorable mention goes to the opinel no.8 the greatest slicer 10 bucks can buy. also the intro was very cool.

    There were some major surprises for me. The spydie chef being rated so high. That knife with the massive fullers was a “what knife is that?!” moment. The OZ being ranked as low as it was. But gotta love this stuff. This is HIS collection and HIS list and I was here for it. Need to get me a Sebenza someday. I am sold. I own a umnumzaan but that will not be my only CRK now. This man LOVES him some spyderco, so do I.

  • @powersww1reset
    @powersww1reset 5 дней назад

    I thoroughly enjoyed this, Seth! And I must say, it was awesome that there isn’t a single bugout in this beautiful collection of folders. I found myself agreeing with you on most aspects, like the pm2 and where it actually stands, and the Military being superior. If the Caribbean had a beefier aftermarket scales option, to give it a bit more rigidity, and thus, a better action and fidget factor, it would be one of the best ever! It’s a real miss, that no one has offered that yet. Speaking of the Military, and how tip down is indeed the proper way to carry and deploy it, a few years ago, I received one in a trade, and it had a deep carry Lynch clip, which sucked in my mind, until I tried it. It was a very noticeable improvement. Hard to explain but it’s better and also frees up some space at the top of your pocket. If you still love the Millie, I highly recommend it!

  • @cody3078

    Seth, what do you think of the Gayle Bradley designs with Spyderco? The GB2 seems well loved and from my own experience I think the Advocate is really special.

    • @seth30v
      @seth30v 4 дня назад

      They're great! I nearly bought the GB2 for the steel and the the hollow grind but the ergonomics had a sort of radial deviation that I didn't love. I did have a Junction fixed blade for a while that I very much enjoyed.

    Made in order to use up Spyderco's excess stock of that steel, and sold like hotcakes. I found one for my son who loves fishing and he's crazy about it. The pocket clip is for a bag, not for a pocket (try sitting at a hunched over angle with any long knife in your pocket!)

    Yo..sup Seth.! Found your channel while surfing, Was rather surprised but pleasantly excited especially with that Lovelace collab..! DCA must be jealously proud of your new endeavour. All we need now is for Thomas to review all his bar blades. There is nothing like a bit of competition in the knife community upscaling the quality & designs Looking forward to your giveaways (maybe)or even do a swap/sales episode etc. It's kind of strange that we don't hear "larger than average". Excellent vid mate. Congrats mate, got yourself a new sub from Christmas Island & Australia.

    Who makes your glasses? I managed to watch this whole video. Most hour long RUclips videos I can't. My ADHD won't allow it. I think it was your unique taste in knives. Most people are showing off their Benchmade Bugout and Spyderco Paras. Your taste in knives was very diverse. There were a good handful of trendy classics.

    So I promptly bought the Spartan Astor after this. It’s around $80 at several online retailers. Convinced I probably should save up for a CRK. Large Sebenza, but if I’m paying that much I really want the one that does it for me, not always the easiest since I’m a lefty.

    I like Paramilitary 2s just fine, though for me, they are a little big to want to carry them very much. I prefer the Para 3, which always seems like a bigger knife to me, even though it is pretty small! They are, approximately, 3”/4” and 3.5”/4.5”, about like many companies produce, a smaller version and one a bit bigger (usually ~1/2” bigger in those dimensions). The smaller one is better to carry, and the larger one is up for just about anything! I confess, I use mine, but I have quite a few, so most of them don’t get used much. I am obviously a collector. I have customized most of them with aftermarket scales, in better materials than G-10 (I should say “more luxurious and expensive”). I must say Spyderco’s G-10, as nice as it is, seems a bit basic for such excellent, expensive knives. I think that in many cases, aftermarket scales can make a great knife even better.
