I picked up a Vision R in the Damasteel! ..at first it felt awkward because of its unusual design…but part of the fun of this knife is getting into "it’s groove". Once I did, 😊 it is now one of my favorites FOR its splendid uniqueness!
Awesome list. With so many contenders even getting to 25 is hard. From this list, for me, it's the We Big Banter. A bit like Goldilocks, the first Banter was a bit small so I passed and waited; the second was even smaller with lower spec materials so I passed and waited; then the Big Banter came and it was just right! Sharp blades all.
My best buys this year were the Spyderco Spydiechef, We high fin, Kunwu xtao, Spyderco Shaman exclusive from kniveworks, Spyderco sage 1 in Maxamet, custom Pukkoo and Leiku from Pawel Michalski and two custom fixed blades from zlk knives (workhorse and a hunters).
Awesome selection of knives, there have been so many great knives this year I'm sure you had a hard time just picking these 25. From budget to premium the knife selection has been amazing, definatly something for everyone. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
Neeves could you give some advice or reviews on combination edge blades. I've always carried a combination serrated blade and wondering if I really need to
I got the timascus/carbon fiber Dromos and it didn't have the same problem with the inlays as yours did. I was sorry to see that when you got yours. I still appreciated your honesty when it was an issue. Great video and excellent lineup for the year 👌Got a few myself on there🤘
How about if you takeoff the scales and spray them with a clear coat maybe that would change the texture on the scales and brighten them up to. I’m not sure how to work with Apoxsee but maybe that’s an idea also.
I'm looking for an automatic out-the-side and would like your recommendations. But, don't know how to send you this request - especially so I can give you more details of what I'm looking for.
Just read some of the comments, can't agree with some, but I liked most of your choices. Good video, hope your significant other finds her replacement knife more to her liking.
Any chance we can get a video of who does exceptional heat treatments on their steels? That way we know which steel to target or maybe which knife design we might want to pay up for better steel or even drop down to if offered in a lower grade of steel.
Definitely love my F22 and am a big fan of the Kickstop and ended up getting chavez 229 for that reason. I’m actually shocked that not a single quiet carry made it on this list 😮. I’m patiently waiting for them to restock the drift L with the knurled handle. Might have to get the nine in magnacut to hold me over till then lol 💸💸
I’d be interested in setting up some affiliate links or discount codes for you for our shop. We are just starting out so we only really carry Microtech and Benchmade right now. How can I contact you to talk about setting something up?
Knives I wanted but won't buy due to the clip: SBD Apex, WE Vision R. Ordered a Penguin Plus jigged Ti yesterday. I have the Subjugator too and love it. Bit me good though.
Yo Jarrod when is your next live I wanna ask you about sharpening I'm having a hell of a time with an m390 Chavez it's a user and it was razor sharp when I got it and I wanna get it back or better
That kick stop is awesome. There were several knives on here that I didn’t even know about. Bama has been disconnected too long. Lol 😂. Great video man.
Good calls on all those knives. Have a few on the list...and for me the vision r is my top knife I bought this year.. love the damn thing. Always finds its way into my pocket..
Definitely will be looking at a few of these bad boys in the video lol. I usually only buy on a folder a year bc I usually spend over a few hundred on one so I want to use it as much as possible and I don’t have a job like you dealing with knives unfortunately or I’d have a huge collection 😂 but I got like 500 bucks saved up to the side for a new knife but my biggest problem is that there are so damn many awesome knives out there that look amazing and function great and it makes it hard to just buy one haha. I really like the f22 kick stop, but I’ve been looking at arcane design as well and their Bowie style folder that looks like a beast.
I would agree with you. It is a bonus though, it’s never been something I’ve noticed until I got the 20.5, I’ve got the carbon fiber and 3v so I don’t know if they are all like that but I do notice the sound it makes compared to my other knives and I like it.
Can we get a campaign going to push companies into properly doing their plunge grinds for sharpening. The slogan can be “take the practical plunge” and you should be the spear head of it! I cannot see any practicality in a scooped/sloped plunge grind all the way to the edge and especially when it meets up with the stop pin. To me they should all be either 90° like spyderco uses or leave a decent amount flat before starting the slope.
Man, that rockwall is so disappointing. I had a monkeyedge exclusive in magnacut but sold it after a few warranty qc issues, and ultimately, the deciding factor is the edge retention on such a low hrc. I've heard you alsaynfor a while they were supposed to bring up their hrc but I'm calling b.s. and I'm upset about that, too. They keep drooping different variants althea all black dlc and recently the nexus variant both with garbage hrc still. I would've pulled the trigger on either of them had they raised their hrc, but it looses the fine edge almost immediately, and seriously whats the point in a knife of that size if it won't hold a fine edge. It's not like your gonna baton it and imo that's the only thing magnacut with that low of an hrc is good for. Idk man your great, Your content is awesome, but that claim about raising up their hrc is sus.
So are you a meth cook then?? I'm not understanding the dirty hands at all..if anyone feels offended you don't understand being a meth cook isn't a issue I'm just trying to feel included with the whole understanding what exactly is going on..
BHQ always bout a bag Jerad. No discount codes, all gas no breaks with them. I get that there a businesses but man they are cut throat. Anyways awesome video great line up of toolery! It would be dope if they did an escort In that fat carbon they have on that drop bear. Yes that Malice came over it’s super tingy. Thanks for always bringing solid content. The numbers don’t lie man and I remember when you first started out doing this. Who would have thought. Much L&R respect always. Sending you and Kara my 4 P’s: Peace Positivity Prosperity and Progression! 🫡
Yeah I'm trying to get more affiliates to work with, I'm very blessed to have them as one and thankful, but hopefully I can get more soon, GP is great but they never have what I need to link in stock or atleast not consistently like bhq

WOW! What a great video... I drooled the whole time.
Love the Black Mirror. You can still get it at 142-148 but you do have to wait.
I got the Hogue Deka Magnacut a month ago and it’s been in my pocket every day. I also love my Demko 20.5 carbon fiber 3v.
Love that High fin looks like a large Goblin blade and one of my favorites.

I love Elmax. I wish more companies would use it.
Same. Prefer it over 20cv/m390.

Damn that WE Mini Malice deserves to get bumped up a couple spots…. I normally don’t do button locks but may have to make an exception for that one!
I was very surprised that Ben’s design he carried a bench made valet and loved it
Keep the Princess happy homie!
Wow, lots of fun cool knives!!

Wish someone would review and recommend good pocket knives for big handed folks. And that holds up
Nice knives, I’ll have to add some of those to my collections.
Apex shut action acoustic are of nail clippers.
Didn’t know about that giant mouse. Have been eyeing the ace clyde.
That escort lookin smart 🖤
Just when I was searching Netflix for something to watch..with no luck… 30 min vid hell yea I am lol
I love that buck i want thr s45 and carbon fiber version

Couldn’t you send that We to knife molders to get the handle polished?

Do you find that your knives with bearings require more maintenance than your knives with washers? Thanks again for all content!

How about best USA made knives for 2022.

The mokuti xl Penguin is crazy.

Good stuff.
The kizer deviant is such a good deal of a knife

What ! You didn’t include the CIVIVI Clavi?
Alot of amazing knives this year. I'll still take the Hyfin since Kara doesnt like it. 😆
That kick stop is awesome. There were several knives on here that I didn’t even know about. Bama has been disconnected too long. Lol 😂. Great video man.
Good calls on all those knives. Have a few on the list...and for me the vision r is my top knife I bought this year.. love the damn thing. Always finds its way into my pocket..
That nasty scuff healing pretty nicely, Neeves! Happy Holidays, BladeMaster!
Very nice sir.
ive been wanting that fairchild for awhile.. gunna have to find a way to justify that
Sometimes, preorder knives are sold out BEFORE they’re sold out😅.
Anyone looking for a NOT overpriced Black Mirror, they popped up on White Mountain Knives this morning. I snagged one.

I’m surprised no Twosun’s made your list
Spyderco blazes us with innovation or not this year.
👍
Great list, but the "acoustics" of a knife have never been a deciding factor for me lol.
I would agree with you. It is a bonus though, it’s never been something I’ve noticed until I got the 20.5, I’ve got the carbon fiber and 3v so I don’t know if they are all like that but I do notice the sound it makes compared to my other knives and I like it.
No QSP XL link. SOOOO many knives I like are $300. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa😢😢😢
Algorithm push for my man
At 31:30 I heard that name Really wrong .
No Divo?? 😮
Edit: still a great list 👌
Spyderco Canis > Yojimbo
Agree?
Fury nifes the best
Either Kizer gets him paid the most or Chinese knives are his favorite of the year lol. I love Kizer❤️
Love that hifin and beacon. That particular SBD is going to stick around for a while. The ugliest SBD model they have 😅

very strange, not a single knife I like :(
Algorithm push
Yeah that forced patina really looks forced or even painted 😵💫

Too big.
Not knowing a lot about knives, they all look basically the same and way too expensive
So are you a meth cook then??
I'm not understanding the dirty hands at all..if anyone feels offended you don't understand being a meth cook isn't a issue I'm just trying to feel included with the whole understanding what exactly is going on..
Theres nothing more boring than a plain grey/silver blade and handle. Its uncreative and frankly pretty lazy for the asking price of many of them.
