Man I was just complaining in my head about how long I had to live without a great knifebanter vid. Then I checked youtube and oh jeez... Bang You guys are great!
30 seconds in, i just gotta say you guys are a monumental part of knife history. Here's to many more seasons of the best show by the best knife retailer in the best community on the planet
RAT3 has been my go to fixed blade for a decade now. I can’t break it, I’ve tried. Ordered a custom leather sheath for it to make carrying more comfortable behind the back. I cannot speak highly enough of it.
The Kershaw Leek is my edc, blue/black aluminum handle with a standard liner lock. I’ve had it for three years, and it hasn’t failed me to this day. On top of how durable it is and how well made, it just... feels nice. It’s light, spring assisted for instant opening and I’ll say, I don’t go anywhere without it.
The Gerber Strongarm, for a fixed blade, is an AMAZING knife for the price. It has been part of my kit in service since they came out with the Coyote Tan. I love the Esse but in my kit the Strongarm won’t be replaced. Keep up the great work guys!
My favorite knife on the table is the Civivi Elementum, it even comes in Gray G10 and two different wood scales. I'm extremely selective and it's probably going to be my next knife in my small collection.
@@The4cp Te tip of the blade and the sharpness on my Tenacious has warped after cutting some particle board... Sad so Sad. Im waiting for my R2D2 that I just ordered to do my comparison.
@@amadeospapa5673 see, I find it way more utilitarian. Easy to control, huge cutting/slicey capabilities, and still in a small package. Besides, I carry a squid/pilar as a secondary knife. And my main EDC is almost always a drop point blade. So I like having my secondary blade as something a little different.
@@ezraveno7422 Whatever works for you! I have heard wharncliffe blades work nicely for utility purposes, I guess i just like the aesthetic of the squid more.
Victorinox Compact is what it was called... I was never really interested in them just cuz I had a bad experience as a kid with one nearly cutting my finger off! But this compact has soooo many awesome features that I might buy it!!! 🤙🏼
Thank you for the observation. I don't like the camera zoomed out while they open the knives. And I don't care if the guys can open them in. 004 milliseconds. How about zooming in and showing them closed?
I'm all about the Begleiter. Good steel, good construction, classic, simple lines, super comfortable in the hand. I like the full size better, but definitely want a mini as well.
@@jamesconley6919 I think it's a coin toss between those steels for general use. Both take and hold a nice edge, aren't too hard to sharpen, and resist elements well. I'm led to believe VG-10 is slightly more corrosion resistant while 154 can take slightly more physical abuse, but neither on a $50 EDC would be something to complain about.
I work on a farm. I tried many knives and the only one, folding knife I settled is Cold Steel Pocket Bushman Folding Knife 95FBZ. I cut the rope, cut small trees if I have to and it is indestructible. It is not quick release, but it's the only folding knife I ever owned with the integrity of the fixed blade.
I carry my opinel when I'm out in the woods and stuff for food. Just feels right cutting fruit and cheese haha. For work I like having a clip so it's easier to get out of pocket. Got some cheapo Gerber knife that looks like a razor, actually really nice for opening boxes.
I’ve got a buddy at work that absolutely LOVES the crkt squid, we work in an industrial plant and he’s one of the maintenance guys. He’s had at least 3 of them since I’ve been there and he uses it every day to scrape, pry, cut, everything you name it.
Rat 1 and 2? Also would love to see an episode of Tamote's knife collection (hope I spelled his name right) He seems like a man with sophisticated taste
Nothing beats Opinel, less than $20 with a decent steel a blade with a wonderful geometry for slicing and a solid lock and it is so lightweight that it floats on water. Just checked and blade HQ sells Opinel, so there isn't really a good excuse.
Wow congrats on the new set I love it and love you guys enjoy it and use it well my friends I'm not really a budget knife guy but my small knife is the chaves redencion I got from BLADE HQ the best knife store hands down
I love the SAK Compact but it is actually significantly more expensive than similar sized Victorinox models with more tools in those. Very weird seeing it in a video dedicated to Best Bang for your Buck. You're definitely paying a larger premium for less tools with the Compact. Yeah, it's a great urban SAK but you're overpaying for what you get.
Here's my opinion on knife banter, I love most of the early videos that are about topics like budget, favorites of each brand, favorites under 3 inches/over 3 inches, favorites of a certain color, favorites of a certain blade steel, favorites of a certain handle type, favorites of a certain price range, stuff like that. But most of the videos you were making towards the end of season 1 were uninteresting and just stupid topics. We wanna hear about more than just 5 or 10 blades in each category, so if you make a second or third episode of the same category, we would absolutely love it.
bladeHQ: Civivi's colored liners look like gas station knives also bladeHQ: MeRmAiD kNiVeS! I don't know what gas stations you have up in mormon-mecca but they sell good knives if they're comparable to Civivi.
@BladeHQ Please leave the product info/name up on the screen the hole time it is shown buy time you see something about the product that you like, you have to stop and rewind to make sure you remember the name. Keep up the great work guys #BladeHQ
Gerber Dime is the best keychain multi-tool out there. I don't know of any other tool that has pliers scissors and removable tweezers in such a small size. I have several. They also make the Dime Travel, where they replaced the blade with a luggage zipper pull.
Delica 4 all day long. It’s a GD work horse. I’m impressed for its price how well it’s holding up as my daily work knife as a cabinet maker. I use it 5-10 times a day for so many different tasks.
I had the Link 1776 in M390. You have to preorder it (it's never in stock) and wait months to get it. It came in the box so dull it couldn't cut paper or shave hair. The edge grind was uneven. I resharpened it and it took an hour. FINALLY got it mirror finish and hair popping sharp and 1 week at work light cutting, breaking down the occasional cardboard box and cutting tape, it went dull again. A simple strop wouldn't bring it back. I think they had a new guy sharpening it and burned the everloving crap out of the heat treat. I've tried of getting burned knives from Kershaw :( I had a burned edge problem with the Leek too.
Got both the Iona and the M390 Link. Gotta say, the Iona sees a lot more pocket time than the Link...and the Link is my favorite Kershaw. The Iona is more office friendly. And where I live, there is a confusing maze of jurisdictions where 3" is considered too murdery. The Iona is at 2.9". Safe and less intimidating.
@@giovanidiamonds If nobody ever gives Buck any love for their 420HC which is more like vg10 or better, then heck no should spyderco (an even more overpriced company on average) get away with 8cr for 25$+
@@msharmall7298 You didnt answer my question though. IF you beat on your knife, you'll know what im saying. Plus spyderco heat treats all of their steels really well which helps tremendously. Buck also heat treats their 420HC well, i've heard
I'll take the Squid all day. It's my EDC and when I almost upgraded to a Pilar. CRKT came out with an upgraded version with D2 steel. I probably won't trade it out unless I have to.
Was waiting for your upload in the past few days. Thought you guys were slacking in the last videos. But damn gotta like the intro and the new set! and the 360p 😂
got to say the link is a great knife it retains its edge quite nicely. ive been carrying mine going on a year as a beater knife and it slowly worked it way it to that main slot.
I'm actually really stooked about that knife that had all the different tools... Something Compact... Looked like a swiss army knife.... Anyway that one I'm really interested in! Another awesome episode fellas!!!👍🏼🤘🏼✌🏼
I would personally reccomend the K-bar USMC military utility knife. It is a good bang for your buck. I bought it for 90 dollars and it comes with a full leather sheath and it is a great quality blade.
Best budget knife I ever bought was an Ontario utilitac 2 got a collectors first production run when they came out aus8 steel 35 bucks or so g10 handle bought it when I was 16.been carrying it for 5 years now
Love the Ontario RAT 1 and 2. They're cheap, well built, come in alot of colors, and they make great gifts. Got one for my wife, our babysitter, and it'll probably be my kid's first knife.
I bought the Squid because of how much Ben loved it. I didn’t realize how small it was and initially I was annoyed, but the squid has come in so handy I carry it everyday. Still excited for the Pilarge though!
I have that exact Keyshaw link. I bought my dad one for Father’s Day last year and loved it. So when I found it about a month later for $35 it was a steal

30 seconds in, i just gotta say you guys are a monumental part of knife history. Here's to many more seasons of the best show by the best knife retailer in the best community on the planet
The CRKT Pilar III with D2 is a wonderful knife for $52. One of my budget favorites.
Yeah! The tenacious is a workhorse. Been using it in the field awhile now. Nice stocky blade, strong handle, quality steel, and a great price.
Kurt: “I have medium size hands, guys.”
**a full size Christmas ham with fingers flops out on the table**
I'd say 1 you missed is Ontario Rat series. D2 big or small. Great knife.
agreed can't get a better dollar for dollar knife than a rat!
RAT3 has been my go to fixed blade for a decade now. I can’t break it, I’ve tried. Ordered a custom leather sheath for it to make carrying more comfortable behind the back. I cannot speak highly enough of it.
Came here to post this.
I agree completely.
Rat 2 in D2. The BEST option.
The Kershaw Leek is my edc, blue/black aluminum handle with a standard liner lock.
I’ve had it for three years, and it hasn’t failed me to this day. On top of how durable it is and how well made, it just... feels nice. It’s light, spring assisted for instant opening and I’ll say, I don’t go anywhere without it.
Exact same man, same colors and all. Had it for a year now.
Yeah buddy! New set looks awesome guys... cant wait to see what new vids you have coming!
Thanks! We got to get you here since you made the intro.😁
Tenacious needs better steel for that price nowadays. I still love my redish one.
Yeah at this point there are too many knives you can get around the same price with better steel
Looking for a new knife at that price point, what do y’all recommend with better steel?
@@aaronlunzmann6534Twosun or Ganzo knives.
@@aaronlunzmann6534 Any of the cheaper Civivi knives or Steel Will knives.

Brandon_The Crow absolutely love my blur!!! Got one at wal mart a couple years ago on roll back pricing for $30 and have edc it ever since
No R2D2? Could replace the tenacious with that, 8cr has no business being at that price anymore.

Right. And to be honest I didnt expect much from the pro lite but it ended up being my edc for months. Too bad Lynn sold the company

I chuckled at the dramatic music and camera work for the knife hunt part.
"As you get with all Civivis, perfect centering." Well, that is certainly not true. Mine is stuck to the right even when I loosen the pivot.
Do an episode on boot knives/daggers!
Also great job like always!
"If I lick it, can I keep it"..."sure". hands down the best and most genuine moment, hahahahahahaha.

I love my ESEE 6 but maybe bang for buck should be the Benchmade 200 Puukko.
Love the Pro Lite! Carry it at work every day. I prefer the Bowie to the tanto, have both though.
I've been carrying Spyderco Tenacious for 12 years now. The knife is like a very close friend at this point
