Still can't believe Winterblade didn't win most innovative this year.. A friggin' dual action *side opening* auto.. that is *also* manual.. but they gave it to yet another "new" version of the Para 2... That was a wild scene, man.
Why aren’t you reporting the blade hardness in the specs? Knifecenter was the place to go for that information not even a year ago but you stopped doing this for some reason!
Probably because some manufacturers were inaccurately reporting the hardness of their steel. Rather than testing every blade, some of the blades, or some other testing methodology, all of which is costly, I think they're letting the manufacturers advertise hardness on their own websites. That's my speculation, at least.
I really wish it was standard to include this, but in fairness it's down to manufacturers. KC couldn't reasonably have every line they carry tested independently, plus testing marks the blade (and potentially voids the warranty), so they'd likely have to sell the test sample at a discount. I would also like to see thickness immediately behind the edge given as a standard spec, though, and they could accomplish that non-destructively with a set of calipers.
Because they are a retailer and not a review channel. The knives on the table are company stock, if they start scratching them up with RHC picks, then they can't sell them as new products. When they would report it, it was most likely the information provided by the company (which as others have implied, have often been proven false by knife reviewers).
@@ProfessionalNoodler they used to have the data on every knife except the ones that didn’t provide the numbers. It matters, or should matter, to anyone who is paying more than 50 bucks for a knife. You don’t buy a truck because it has an engine, you buy it because it has a 6 L V8…

Hey DCA, I am not sure that Mini Korvid is supposed to be front 'flippered', it looks more like traction for the thumb . . . regardless I like it for a novelty desk knife, just my two cents worth. Great work as always, howdy to Thomas. Would like to see another between two knives episode with Seth . . . maybe the positives and negatives of carrying a 2"-ish (plus or minus .125" and price under $250) bladed knife only and both of your opinions of which style blade and handle you guys like best in that size range. Thirty day challenge, maybe? My favorite is the Spyderco Meerkat, disco'ed I know but still useful.
I really like that G. Sakai is starting to send some stuff out to my favorite retailer. I hope to see more from them. Id totaly buy something from the company that manufactures some of my favorite Spyderco models. Moki should send more stuff to KnifeCenter too now that I think about it.
Someone please tell me how those red scales are held on to the kitchen knife. I see no pins or screws. I don't get it. Those benchmades seem like a pretty good deal.
Those $400 Benchmade bushcraft knife looks like a rebraded Mtech one of their employees bought at a Portland gas station.. The Acta Non Verba you showed is leagues ahead in both design and execution at less than half the price and its sheath was also superior to the Benchmade.
I love this channel, keep up the good work. I'm one of those knife collectors that sometimes get stuck looking for the bargain. Yeah, there are lots of well made knives that don't cost very much.

So, in going to write down the price of every binge worthy knife I find for a month, see what that comes out to, then look for something really special for that price. We'll see
The Kambou, love that blade shape, loses me with the handle shape. The Buckhorn, damn, THAT is tempting. I'm going to need to get my hands on one to see if it fits my mitts.
Other than the size and the steel, how is the GiantMouse any different from the Boker Nessmi? Or how are the Ace Biblio/Riv significantly different from the Pilar. Design seems to be getting a bit stale.
Ofcorse Ken Onion wins Awards he could literally take a dump & shape it into a knife & he is still going home from these shows with awards the man is a Legend my very 1st knife I bought with my own money when I was about 14 years old was a Ken Onion designed Kershaw Vapor.
I love Benchmade's designs, heck their Axis lock is still my favorite knife lock ever made. But they need to come off those crazy prices, they are all over the place, most of the time they are $50 more expensive than they should be, then sometimes they are right on the mark, like with their new Magnacut lineup. Cruwear is great but by no means does that or the carbon fiber handles make it worth $450 to me for a 4 in bushcrafter. And Carbon fiber is not that expensive anymore anyway, it's not like it's the nicer marbled or Phat carbon stuff. That knife should be $250 max. Even if it was Magnacut it should still be around $250 to be competitive with even other USA made Magnacut knives. Really don't get them, they are more about their name now than anything. Just like ZT. I'll take a Esee or a Buck all day over them at this point. Sad to see them at these exorbitant prices.
I don’t understand why people love the axis lock so much. They just have such poor long term durability. Whenever I carry a knife with an axis lock I have to constantly worry my knife will just break though totally normal operation. That sucks imo.
@@jonesyxxiv You must have used cheap imitation Axis lock types. I have never had one fail and I have used them for near 20 years. I have seen that some Benchmade knives have issues with their axis locks though, DBK did a test on the Adamas folder and it failed but BM fixed that problem and the other Axis lock BM knife they tested was rock solid and even passed all their insane testing. I'd rather it over a frame lock or liner lock any day of the week. I absolutely HATE liner locks.
@@The1stDuhZeez Benchmade axis locks are notorious for failing. Omega springs snap all the time. There is no way you’ve been in the knife community for any amount of time without hearing about omega springs being unreliable. My bugout’s omega springs snapped from just closing the knife.
@@jonesyxxiv As I said "I" have never had one fail on me. I also don't, and would never own a Bugout or a Griptillian. They are cheaply made and it shows. I never had one and never will, now their other knives that are properly made that I own, and have used for years have never failed me.
@@The1stDuhZeez Well I guess you are one of the lucky few, but your personal anecdote doesn’t override the data. The fact you haven’t personally had one break doesn’t override the fact that they are they are much more likely to fail than most lock types. There is a reason many brands started to include extra omega springs with their knives.
I’m a huge Benchmade fan, but their pricing has actually pushed away from them. I wasn’t such a spiderco or. Kershaw fan, but I am now I have bought more Civivi then Benchmade I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I bought a Benchmade they’re pricing is ridiculous. I am getting totally turned off by that company.
I would more imagine it’s about paracord to hold your hand to the knife or a specific grip use(gimmick). Also potentially stealing some Spyderco vibe….I don’t like it at all probably because the blade looks bigger than the handle, here we go again with that trend, that in real life sucks for a small knife.
It would be good if you would warn someone if you have such a shabbily made knife like the T.M. Hunt Custom Yuma Fixed Blade on your table! Seriously, who pays 300$ for something like that? Especially when you can get an ANV for 100 less?
I see Vance made is full speed ahead with prices as usual. It’s not that I don’t like their knives, it said, I feel that they’re taking advantage of the use her. And don’t tell me it’s American made. We all know…
I know I'm old, but over the years of price shopping for knives, I haven't found a single knife worth more than a $100.00 made by any body, I've bought a couple Randall's at estate sales for under a $100.00, so why would I pay more than that for any thing that's currently made, just not worth the price.
Redonkulus prices for the Benchmade knives along with the Case knife. A few I'll not be buying. When a Ken Onion sells for $200.00 less, need I say more.
If I were judge I would want to go to Italy and hangout at the beach with the Italian girls. A trip to Virginia meh….lmao kidding I don’t think it was rigged but I bet the size of booth you bought mattered!! Along with additional advertising purchased….

@postalsteve I am speaking to how I use stainless steel synthetic handle kitchen knives at home, not how a professional chef using carbon steel blades and supported by club-fisted minimum wage dishwashers does things.
