Love your choices!! Just ordered a Recon 035 last week. My top 3 would be Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Slicer, OZ Roosevelt, and Microtech Ultratech. The Ultratech changes depending on my mood that day though.
Fun vid. I like these little hypothetical games as they get us the explore the reasons we love knives they way we do. I am assuming that all three are folders, otherwise I would want one of them to be fixed. Evo Typhoon for my large carry, Pena Apache for small carry, Medford 187 in 3V for my outdoor and/or heavy use knife.
Id say my Spyderco Sage 5LW, Benchmade Mini Bugout(copper Flytanium scales), and my Leatherman Wave+. I know its a multi-tool technically, but i made a dope quick draw belt sheath for it and it has a blade so i edc it regularly.
Awesome choices! 1) XM-18 3.5" Skinny Slicer (absolutely my favorite knife) 2) Medford Slim Midi Tanto 3) Spyderco Para 3 - need to have a tried and true smaller blade in there.
I picked up the recent sprint run Lil Native (was waiting on the s30v model to come back in stock when this one showed up first) and fell in love with it. Deciding between Ti and brass scales to replace the stock CF ones. It's small enough, I am leaning toward the brass. My 3...might be disclosed in a video soon (if I can stop fretting and start dropping videos). 😆 It would definitely involve at least one fixed blade, though...probably 2...and a Lil Native in s90v...maybe.
LOL! I have 40 or so Spyderco's and just two days ago ordered my first 'Lil Native compression lock. I was debating the purchase because I really like the Chaparral in that size which is slightly bigger, but glad to see you endorse it. I already have several XM-18's, but based on this have added a Guardian Tactical to my wishlist. Thanks for the overview!
I’d have to keep my Koenig Arius , Spyderco Para 3 Maxamet & Tactile Knife Co. Rockwall… definitely a tough question considering I carry 3 everyday & the Rockwall is the only one that’s been in the rotation since I got it ! It’s #54 & it just gets better all the time !
Out of my collection, Microtech Stitch, Bark River Bravo 1 in 3v, and my Benchmade Mini Adamas. I'd also really like to hang onto my GT Recon 040 or 035 but not over those 3.
Spyderco Lil’ Native is such a great knife! My girlfriend gave it to me as a present a year and a half ago and I couldn’t stop carrying it ever since. The perfect knife for me; I can carry it anywhere, even to Uni or a scientific conference
Of I had to be honest if I could only keep 3 it would be my maxamet para 3 with micarta and some blurple bling, my s90v para 3 with orange terotuf worker scales, and lastly my xm18 Bowie
The lil native seems great. Its been out of stock for a while but I'm hoping to get one when I can. Also, they're still making the slip joint lil native, but it hasn't come out yet.
Great picks for if you could only have 3😎👊to hard to choose when I was thnkn about it as I watch the video. Man o man what would I choose🤔🤔tnxs for the food for thought luvin the content brother 🤜💯🤛
Shaman, my Griptilian with S90V sheep’s foot, Lil’ Native in M4 w/compression lock. Three solid workers. Thanks for turning me on to the Lil’ Native. Photos and videos don’t do it justice. You need to get it in hand to appreciate it.
They do have a slip joint lil native, I think it was jus released. I got me some custom micarta scales for my Rex 45 lil native, it’s definitely a hard use small knife.
@@SliceyDicey Cuscadi in Germany, amazing quality. Rcbladeworks seems good to, probably cheaper for you since they are based in the US. I’m in Sweden so everything I order from the US is about 30-40% more expensive 😢
Koenig arius flipper delete gen 4 , bestech shodan and kizer lan ! I love the lan nothing else like it for the money wish it was titanium or better materials
Limiting to what I actually currently own.... - Ferrum Forge Stinger. Usually my first choice for compact daily carry. - Spyderco Manix 2. My hard use, hacking through cardboard and backyard jungle knife. - Then it gets tough....but I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my Pro-Tech Malibu. So, let's go with that.
My Jesse Jarosz Model 75, Bartosz Herman Sting and Custom Knife Factory Morrfe 5. American, Polish & Russian! 🤗 It would be my O.D. Green Guardian Tactical Recon 035 with Stonewashed Tanto if not for the OTF blade wiggle.
To fill the XM 18 slot the XM 18 or ZT 0562 ti PM2 in m390 or maxamet Military in S90V This has to be on top of a base layer of a SAK multi tool not a knife ….
Wow… so hard to choose.. if I could only grab 3 from my current collection… Hogue x5, Twosun Maverick and We Banter. I’m definitely going to have some separation anxiety from some my others though. 🥵
Out of my current collection it would be the Olamic whippersnapper wharncliffe, Pena x series raptor, real steel mini micartamorph. I’m a sucker for front flippers.
Sebenza 31 as my daily/harder user, TRM Neutron for dressy occasions and warm weather, Bark River Bravo 1.5 LT for a fixed blade. Maybe sub out the Spyderco Dragonfly in a better steel?
@@BizarreBear sure! It’s a well made full Ti frame lock with a decent tip and fairly big washers. Anything I wouldn’t do with it, I shouldn’t be using a folder for :)
I'm trying but I can't seem to get it down to three. After writing two paragraphs and cheating by picking three from this brand and three from that brand and three budget options and then three fixed blades, I realize this is going to come down to what is to hand when this choice is forced upon me lol
Ok so with only knife in My collection -Realsteel ROKOT= edc/fidget factor; -Fox knives pelican= work horse; -Viper knives Novis= Gentlemen carry/fidget factor
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Nice. Civivi Backlash, Spyderco Manix 2, Kershaw Bareknuckle... (I'm on a budget)
A skinny XM without a choil and the Triway pivot fixes almost every gripe I had back when I owned a few Hinderers about 10 years ago.
I’ve been trimming down my collection, and am planning on keeping Chris reeve small sebenza, Spyderco dice, and looking to acquire a hinderer xm18 3”
For me...Kizer Lan in green frag micarta, Benchmade Bugout in carbon fiber, and the Ontario Rat 2 in D2.
Also, Umnumzaan, 20CV Manix 2, Spyderco Atlantic Salt 2 LC200N
Hmm that is tough but if I had to choose: xm-18 3.5 skinny slicer, Benchmade mini Adamas, and Chris Reeve Umnumzaan.
Mine would be Socom elite as hard user, Olamic Cutlery Wayfarer 247 as daily edc/dressy and a Microtech Socom Alpha for a fixed blade knife.
"...you divorce them but in the meantime pick three."
PURE GOLD
Thanks! Glad my wife doesn't watch my videos! But she'd never ask me to get rid of them anyway.

The flytanium titanium scales for the lil native are pretty nice, and they take an anodization well

My Inkosi, my Neutron 2 and my Esse 3 in S35vn from my own collection.
I would have to go with my micarta PM2, ESEE 6, and Ti Kizer Feist. I am saving up for an Umnumzan and that would replace the PM2 when i get it.
Out of my collection, Microtech Stitch, Bark River Bravo 1 in 3v, and my Benchmade Mini Adamas. I'd also really like to hang onto my GT Recon 040 or 035 but not over those 3.
Spyderco Para 3 in S90v with Fireside Terotuff seafoam green scales, Benchmade Bugout 535 GRY-1, & Kizer Sheepdog w/ Black Micarta Scales
I don't have my three yet! It's hard to limit yourself when you have a long wishlist.
or when the guy that makes them died hundreds of years ago (Masamune).

Very enjoyable video. I own a Recon 035. Love it.
Spyderco kapara, PM2 and my Ferrum forge Archbishop 2.0. But I would miss my Slysz bowie and 562cf as well.
The lil native seems great. Its been out of stock for a while but I'm hoping to get one when I can. Also, they're still making the slip joint lil native, but it hasn't come out yet.
BM 550 from custom shop, Para 3LW Spy27, full ti XM 18
Great video. In thinking of my list I had a question, does this include fix blades?

- Spyderco Manix 2. My hard use, hacking through cardboard and backyard jungle knife.
- Then it gets tough....but I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my Pro-Tech Malibu. So, let's go with that.
I would pick my Benchmade Mini Adamas, Benchmade 940-2, and my Microtech UTX85
Its tough, but I'd have to say 0562, wharnie pm2, and sage 3.
Knives I own would need to include a fixed blade which would be the Cold Steel SRK in 3V, Sage 1 in maxamet and an Ultratech.
My 3:
Benchmade 51 Morpho.
Spyderco Spydiechef.
Ferrum Forge Singer.
Large inkosi, Spyderco caly 3 and victorinox compact

Me just realizing you have the coolest stickers of the bunch..
Hmm only 3? If I had to choose right now Protech Mordax, ZT 0640, BM Sequel. But hopefully I won’t have to go to just 3…
I'd go my wharncliffe hogue deka, victorinox compact, and my lionsteel bestman drop point 👍
I was really expecting the waypoint to be one of your three.
1. Medford genesis T tanto s90v
2. Chris Reeve umnumzaan

Black and silver, black and silver and black and silver. No purple?
Sbr protech... 040guardian tactical ... Recon1 tanto cold steel

So you do standup? Where can I see your routine
Bugout, Kapara, Mini Crooked River.
Well let’s see…. 0562ti, cold steel 4max and my Manix 2. Don’t “need” anything else. I would miss my Hogue Deka though.
3 for the rest... an otf that will get you arrested in multiple states. Nah bro. Not to mention the cost of all. Way off.
None of these would hold up that well splitting wood to make a fire. Need to throw some kinda fixed blade or something in there
Spyderco Police, Spyderco Police and Spyderco Police.
Don't know, they haven't invented them yet.
One overlooked benefit of an OTF vs OTS, is that you can maintain a 100% grip while deploying and stowing.
