That’s a frame-lock on the Sebenza, which is not the same as a liner-lock.
3:03
Also, another frame-lock on that ZT.
I'm not seeing a Buck! everyone has opinions favorites ECT. I carry a buck 110 gets the job done
I live by the Buck knife factory. I take advantage of their tent sales. I got a $140 knife for $30 because the handle was scratched.
I have carried a knife since I was a kid. I am 65 now, still carry one. I have a homemade 5" fixed blade in a horizontal homemade sheath. I live on a ranch. The knife is used all the time.
Ferro rods do NOT require carbon steel to ignite. I've used Stainless Steel (yes, I know carbon can still be in those metals), broken glass, obsidian, sharp spots on granite. The striking object only needs to be harder than the ferrocerium, with a sharp edge.
@Seedavis397 just so you guys know your claim that Benchmade went "woke" or "left" are half truths. They do donate to and support local democrats. Now, the reason they do so is because those officials support a plan that teaches high school students the skills they need to graduate and go to work for Benchmade. Now not only does Benchmade benefit from this so does Kershaw, Schrade, CRKT, Gerber, and I'm willing to bet those companies support the program too however no one is butt hurt over them. And who said other knife companies don't do the same thing the biggest difference is they're not posting it on social media and even then they did it to support their local PD.
I just started carrying one for usefulness, but it does help me feel safer and more prepared for anything when I'm out and about, especially with kids in tow.
If I carry a knife I cannot legally say it’s for self defence.
It's dumb. You can kill someone with a BiC pen with a stab to the neck. Ditto on just about every tool in the tool box.
@@tombob671 "You can kill someone with a BiC pen with a stab to the neck."
True. And it you admit that you are purposely carrying a BIC pen to stab someone you are now carrying a concealed weapon.
That's why seatbelt cutters and glass breakers are such great features to have on a flip knife.
You should always refer to it, organically, as a tool. Mine always has been for manufacturing work but even at home/EDC. People who dislike them hear “knife” and it’s a bad thing for whatever reason. If I must, I’ll say pocket-knife. Cause that’s what they are.
Several people gave the best advice. A knife is a tool and that's what you should say. But be ready to have some examples of how you use it as a tool. I mainly use mine for opening Cheetos bags.
Fortunately, I've never needed a knife for defence, but, due to health, have found it advantageous to have a knife to gain access to packaging that others can open with their hands. Victorinox makes several small pocket knives that can fit on to a keychain. I still have a Spydercard knife in my wallet in case I encounter a particularly tough container that I need to open. Of course, for convenience, especially if camping or fishing, I can add a one-handed folder like a KaBar Dozier folding hunter. To those of us by with limited dexterity, a small,handy pocket knife is a Godsend.
Ive carried a knife since i was 8 havent left the house with out one since high school ive carried all types but my favorites are traditional slip joints as they are very basic and easy to use
I have three benchmades, a triage, griptilian and mini barrage in my collection. I've had spyderco and don't like them and I cannot stand liner locks. I won't carry anything else, regardless of their politics.
My EDC knife is basic Smith & Wesson with a thumb stud. Blade is half-serrated and also has a glass breaker and pocket clip.
Yep...S&W makes some decent utility folders. I still own and carry may S&W S.W.A.T. First Millennium Run knife which is nearly 24 years old.
My dad bought, sold , collected and traded hundreds of those CASE knives in the 80s and 90s
When my grandfather passed away in the 80's I got his CASE collection some are from the 50's still in the boxes and will never part with them
You don’t carry a brand of knife because they went “left” who cares if it’s a good knife it’s a good knife
@Sootch00 can u pls do a Video on your Martial Arts Training?
You can have the best knife in the world but if you have a crappy sheath you won't carry it! When looking at fixed blade knives always look carefully at the sheath and if it is adjustable or you can add a utilaclip or a cold steel C clip or something similar. A lot of people just buy a knife they think looks cool or whatever but don't pay attention to the sheath and ultimately they don't carry the blade because of it. It's at least as important as the knife unless you or someone you know can make a custom sheath. ⚔🗡⚔ And yes benchmade has gone off the rails💯 I no longer buy them or carry the ones I own! It's a shame really! 😢 🤷🏻♂️
Definitely American, sadly most of those knives shown are illegal in the UK. A locking knife of any description, what ever is illegal to carry (but not to own). Non locking 3inch or less is legal to carry. HOWEVER carrying one for self defense is also illegal, YOU CANNOT CARRY ANY ITEM DEEMED TO BE A WEAPON FOR SELF DEFENSE IN THE UK.
Nice video but not for the UK.
You stopped carrying a knife because the manufacturer has gone...left? Lame.
I'm left and I carry a 1911, a MRK IV and a M1A, SOCOM.
I always have my Victorinox tinker on me, in a belt pouch.
I’m 46 years old. I’ve had a knife on me my entire life other than when it was restricted by law.
For me, walking out the door without a knife would be like leaving the house with no pants on.
About two years ago, I bought a buck 110. The only reason I did is it’s one of the few knives still made in the United States by Buck. I can tell you it’s one of the best purchases I ever made.
@@theresalways-1Get the Slim version, it has a slimmer polymer handle with a pocket clip and thumb studs to open it with one hand. The two negatives are that the action is hard when opening with one hand and the studs get in the way when sharpening.
I've been carrying a knife every day since I was a kid. Started out with a Case with two blades. (I'm 57).
People know I always have a knife and people are constantly asking to borrow it. Lol. I tell them to carry one
Civivi Mini Praxis 3" D2 steel with G10 handle. My EDC blade. $30. I've found it to be good quality and a great value. You could buy several of these instead of say the Fastball. It's easy to spend too much and collect too many.
EWw when the ZT spits out fluid from its pivot 😆
Edit: and Cleaver blade at 7:00 isn’t OKnife, that’s a Kansept Korvid I believe 🤷
I carry 2. Osborne 9400 for personal use ( food , clothes, medical) CJRB Crag for work ( rope,wood, plastics).
my edc knife opened up a pack of 2 new kitchen knives that were donated to my mosque, my late dad carried a Buck 110. . a few years ago I found one nearly identical to that 110, the one I found lives in my tackle pocket in m rod bag. I have gotten a few people out of a jam with my edc knives as well as open alot of boxes and packaging in my mosque especially just before and during Ramadan
ZT and Sebenza are framelocks, not linerlocks.
Several terms not defined here, for beginners. EDC= Every Day Carry.
You can't beat a TKell fixed blade! Check em out! They're second to none! 💪⚔️
Can you break a car door window with an ordinary pocket knife? My one car has a tactical pen in it with window-breaking tip, but the other car has a regular stockman knife.
I'm particular with where I store the knife, and people call me "OCD" but I don't want to be hunting through stuff to find it!
BTW- use mineral oil to coat the blade so it doesn't rust.
6:49 - that's a Kansept Mini Korvid, not an Oknife
Never underestimate the sharpness and cutting abilities of a good quality serrated knife blade 🔪
Yep. People do not understand physics. Serrations equal more cutting surface area in less linear space.
The only place for a serrated edge is at the dinner table with cheap cuts of meat. In my opinion, if you love a serrated blade, you haven't yet mastered the art of creating a truely sharp edge. Happy Days!
@@richardelliott9511 "if you love a serrated blade, you haven't yet mastered the art of creating a truely sharp edge. "
You haven't yet mastered the laws of physics. How many saws have you seen that are fine edge? A knife is a tool. One blade type does not fit all applications.
Since the age of 8 years old, their isn't a day I haven't had a pocket knife on me! The only thing I'd have anxiety if I didn't have..
I have 10 reasons why you should carry TWO
The Black Legion folding trench knife is my pocket knife of choice.
Very powerful and durable.
Has a set of knuckles for punching, glass breaker, and seat belt cutter.
Great knife.
Peace out!!!
I think everyone should see this video. The knife and watch are two of (imo) the most important inventions in humankind. I carry one every single time when I leave the house and living in Texas, I use mine about 4-6 times a day at least. In any case; it's better to have it and not need it every single time.
I have plenty of knives and dont need anymore reasons to carry 1 but anytime theres a knife video i click 😂
One overlooked knife I have always carried is the Klein electricians knife Drop point blade and a locking flat tip/scraper blade. Plus I also carry another locking blade as well
I’ve got the Cold Steel Spartan. I love how it deploys when you pull it out of your pocket if you need to. Good design.
That sebenza and others like it are frame locks, Not a liner lock. Nice collection 👍🏼
I’ve carried a Buck 110 on my belt everyday for 47 years. My Dad gave me my first on my tenth birthday and there hasn’t been a day since I’ve not had a Buck 110 on my belt. Duty Belt for 25 years LE career, edc urban carry, hiking, camping, hunting that Buck knife has been my constant companion.
Yes. Having trudged through Iran, Afghanistan, SE Asia, and other places, it would be a number one choice. I have at least a dozen in an ammo can for shtf. I wear work out shorts so I carry something else.
He called the sabenza a linerlock lol
6:20 That's what she said.
Multi tool (with knife blade) is underrated.
As a patriotic, American, and a patriotic channel you left out the best American knife money can buy. The Koenig arius made in Boise Idaho. Yes they’re obscenely and extremely extremely expensive. But they are the best American knife money can buy. Thanks for sharing that wonderful video.
I carry a small, basic SAK, I've used it 3 times this week.
Hey Don, I had a friend (who is now retired as a federal agent) who told me if he had to choose between a knife and gun…….he would choose a knife because of the many things you can do with it in a survival situation!
Well what situation are we talking about? If a man’s challenging me to a gunfight, you can throw that knife option away…
When you see the IDF training videos of a gun verses a knife in close quarter, it will open your eyes to how effective a knife really is. Thanks Skeeter!
@@jasonsolis5416 I did say in a survival situation!
Eh in a survival scenario I’d still rather have a gun. I can take 2 rocks and chip off a piece for a stone knife. I can then pry one of the rounds apart carefully and use the powder as a fire ignition aid if really necessary then I’ll have char for a bunch of stuff (making dry coal, water filtration char, char cloth, boiling water in a found or wood vessel made by hot coals burning out a log etc).
I’ll be armed with an effective weapon and can drop an enemy with ambush tactics and probably acquire better gear.
@@user-nl4ir7cx5r ok, cool!
I keep flip knives in each of my vehicles that include a seatbelt cutter and glass breaker. You can find sturdy ones at military surplus stores for $15 or less.
Do you have a video on multi tools?
Thanks for the great videos
Awesome video
He's got some really good knives on here. The first 2 do not have locks. They're called slip joint knives. Good for light work but not the best for "heavy work". The longer lock knives are the ones that have the inside "liner" that acts as the lock when the blade is deployed. The frame lock is the one where the "handle" or frame acts as the lock when the blade is deployed. Those are the most common. Then you have the "cross bar" locks and button locks. Those are knives that some consider safer as it applies to opening and closing the knives because your fingers are out of the way when opening and closing. You can get a really good knife that says for $50 and up. I would recommend getting a blade in D2 or better steel. Also, just because a knife company is an "American company" doesn't mean the knife is made in the USA. Often the less expensive knives are made in China or Taiwan. Both countries are good at making knives these days if you go with the right knife company. Kershaw makes the most affordable USA made knives that typically are just south of $100. As a matter of fact, they make an assisted opening knife in 20cv, which is an EXCELLENT steel, for around $90. If you're willing to spend more companies like Hogue, yes that Hogue, Spyderco, and Microtech are good to start with as they, typically, have good QC and are solid and reliable. If you're wanting to spend somewhere around $50-$80 companies like Civivi, Kizer, Kershaw, and Cold Steel are good to start with. Those companies also make good knives north of that price point. Knife nerds, like me lol, can really get into the weeds on types of steel but to be honest as long as you properly maintain your knife you should do fine with anything above 9cr. Also, Worksharp makes an excellent sharpener for those who want to maintain their pocket knives which goes for $60-$100. That will help you maintain your knife. If anyone who's bothered to read this far has any questions I'll be glad to help. Be safe and have fun!!
I can never give a straight answer why I carry a knife? I always say because I can.
I just carry it to get by in my regular normal real life .I cut paper, plastic wrap or ties, bags if I need to, food, cut open a box, cut that annoying string on my shirt that keeps getting pulled on everything,simple things in life just needs a knife to say hay you going to cooperate with me or do I have to use this.
Now let's get that ketchup on those fries.
There's no monsters I need a knife for. 2024 not Mad Max I can go buy a lighter.
Very informative. Thank you.
Nice collection Sootch! I noticed that little cleaver you mentioned is actually a Kansept Korvid! Just thought Id mention for anyone looking!
I was expecting interesting reasons for EDC'ing a pocket knife.
Instead l heard simplistic and obvious, almost child-like descriptions of popular knives.
A waste of my time.
Speaking of Benchmade, if you want to support a company that actually deserves your money, is made in the US and isn’t liberal nonsense. Buy a Hogue Trauma, it’s the same as the Triage but with some improvements. Ritter works for Hogue now so that’s why Hogue can sell it legally.
I carried a girly little folding knife for most of my life, but when I started crafting my EDC, I replaced it with the K-bar fixed-blade Acheron. It's perfect.
In most european countries you're not allowed to carry a knife in public unless there is a good and viable reason for it. For exemplet in Sweden where I am from, you will get fined or even get jail time if repeated carrying a knife in public area. If you are hiking, fishing in the outdoors then it's legal. So the situation is crucial. Therefore carrying an edc knife is not legal here, sadly 🤫☹
I am retired now but have been carrying a knife since I inherited my 1st one in 2nd grade from my grandfather. Even in my retirement, some type of blade is part of my edc, although it might be a lot smaller these days.
Why doesn't he like Benchmade anymore?
A while back, they donated to a group against the 2nd Amendment. They even cut up a bunch of guns.
My top ten reasons to carry a knife.
1. Because I can
2. To cut
3. Because I want to
4. The 2nd Amendment
5. To fondle
6. To slice my way through obstacles
7. They never run out of ammo
8. To open things
9. Not to fight with since I don’t have training
10. Because I am a man among men
I have a crkt m4 folder as my edc. But for bush craft or outdoors I like esse
I've carried a folder or small fixed blade accompanied by a Victorinox farmer or hiker as my EDC as long as I can remember. I couldn't imagine not having them. Every single day, they both come in handy for something, especially if you work in the trades.
Carbon Steel isn't needed for a Ferro rod. That's flint and steel. Any sharp object will strike a Ferro rod.
Sebenza is overpriced like Benchmade ... change my mind
Sebenza doesn't have Benchmade's QA issues, though.
I used carry knife when I didn't trust my dad, well since I am not living at home i can sleep without fear of being killed in my sleep.
I love my O knife Rubato 3 is my EDC, a brilliant piece of kit.
I cannot bring a knife to my workplace. I still don't understand why I would need to carry one.
When you say you don't carry Benchmade any longer because they have 'gone left', what do you mean?
It’s an arm under 2A per Heller Caetano and Bruen.
These city laws are unconstitutional
What about Dynamis knives and TOPS knives
A Buck 110 should be on that list imho
Great knife!! For some reason the
“Old School” knives with brass bolsters and wood handles never seem to make the list. The 110 is virtually indestructible.
You're mistaken when you say that your knife needs carbon content to be able to strike a Ferro rod the only criteria you need is that the material is harder than your Ferro rod and has a sharp edge or corner, you can use a stone or a piece of broken glass as a striker.
Love my Knife and fire starting stuff, thanks Don!
My favorite edc is a gerber ez out skeleton. Light weight an good edge retention, easy to sharpen
Lost two victorinox knives while travelling and the last trip i took an Opinel. Way less options but i like it.
I have a Civivi chronic flipper. Really comes in handy for Amazon boxes lol
Why would a knife cost 300$ that's ridiculous.
I always have my skeletool on me! People in my area are softies so its not so scary to see a mulitool vs a folding knife..
The Swiss Army knife is the most overrated thing to ever be invented.
I’m partial to my ESSE knives.
They are nice but a little bulky for EDC.
@@papimaximus95 the Izula II is a nice little belt knife. I carry that one every day.
@@brucekaren6693 Nice!
Love the channel been listening for years.
Love the "x reasons" format, keep it up
I feel necked without my blade!
7:19 - what do you mean, that they've "gone left"?
👍👍
Victorinox Forester for me everyday.
Benchmade went left? Go on……
Wow, great video!
Victorinox is my every day carry when traveling. Their one handed trekker series is fantastic. Their little key chain knives are extremely useful as well and will take care of a lot of daily tasks. The Victorinox given to me 40 years ago is still a favorite. Buck 110 rides in a Nylon pouch on my belt when I’m at home working on our property.
Multitools are good or a real slim basis SAK.
I still have my old KA-BAR locked up in my closet. I don't plan on patrolling the streets of the DMV with it.....but I'm sure its dull by now (had it with me while in Iraq). Can I sharpen it with the same tool I sharpen my kitchen knives with?
More like 100 reasons
Agreed
Lots of beautiful knives!
That ain’t a knife, THIS is a knife! 🔪
I am thankful to live in Florida. My little city is insanely safe & secure, even still, I carry a kershaw something.
I don't use it very much, though. I did use it while camping during a spur of the moment trip.
Along with my edc 357mag & 2 speed loads. I usually carry a tactical pen if not carrying the kershaw.
In a different, less polite shtf situation. I keep on stand-by my Vietnam era M7 Bayonet & scabbard, and my (for now) bushcraft knife is a Gerber Strong arm (I do need a suggestion for a better Bushcraft knife)...
Im a chef, in a shtf situation. I know what types of knives i need for food prep, skinning wild game, taking down big game, cutting fish, vegetables, or wild edibles. Those knives do not look tactical. They aren't fighting knives. They have a kitchen purpose. Carried in my Chef Bag, I have enough tools to do any type of cutting job.
Love Floridas Freedom, but we need to do more to stifle the crime in our big cities like Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, St Augustine, and St Petersburg, to name a few problem areas.
I do not always carry a firearm, but I always have a self defense Tool in my pocket. Something is better than nothing.
Get a Tactical Pen if you're stuck in a Less-Free Infringed State.
The Case knife & Swiss Army knife are called "friction folder" or slipjoint style knives.
A liner lock is INSIDE the handle. The ones your showed were called FRAME locks.
1. good comments and advice.
2. I have been to places in the world and under conditions that 99% of the audience will never experience.
3. I won't give my choice among the tools you aptly presented. I will say this. Develop the skills to use any of those tools and you will be far ahead of the learning curve if you need to use the knife. The skills are in cooking, skinning, self defense, making objects out natural material, safely opening packages.
4. Having had an avocation of buying used tools and restoring the same and also having been a knife dealer, start with learning how to maintain and sharpen knives. Having handled hundreds of seized, used knives, what I have observed is a lack of maintenance. Learn that skill and you will never have to pay retail for a knife.
I’m a diesel technician. I carry Benchmade adamas for 3 years now. I use it daily, to cut boxes, rubber hoses, air lines, small pry bar tasks, gasket scraper using the spine, and flick it at my co workers as they walk by lol
