Not to just echo the television man but I gotta be fair to bechmade, those are nice versions and not as preposterous a price tag. The copper brown is hella sweet

Benchmade magnacut is max 62 hrc. But only seen tests up to 61 hrc. Not sure their magnacut is that good heattreated really. I want one but damn... Im gonna wait it out.
@kinfecenter Which knife did you think would take off or be more successful than currently achieved? I'd be hyped to pick up something "overlooked" in the $75-$150 range. No specifications other than that :)
Easy, spyderco Watu, very very under rated and rarely seen model that can be had for really good prices and is an absolute laser beam of a slicer... I paid 115 dollars for mine about 6 months ago and at that price or even 150 bucks it's a knife that you will find very hard to beat and like I said it's such a super slicer that you will fall in live if you like/need/want a super slicey edc. Another one that Is super slept on is the Spyderco Sway back, it's normally in the 190-200ish range but can be got on no MAP sales or during black Friday sales for about 140 (bought mine 2023 black Friday for 130 and that's a whole lot of knife for 130 bucks) Another banger that's slept on now that can be had at 60ish for the 14c28n model or 90 for the s30v model is the Kershaw blur. Possibly one of the best do anything work knife type edc designs that you can buy. The Kershaw composite blade Dividend is superb for 85-90 bucks if you like super slicers... now if you want to get in to the budget world the k110 full size Beluga or 14c28n Mini Beluga from petrified fish is phenomenal for 45-50 bucks... they was incredibly popular like 3 years ago when they first came out but they are overlooked and slept on now. Or if you aren't worried about it being a slept on model and just want the best 150 dollar Knife you can buy... the K390 Stretch 2 from spyderco Seki city. It's probably the best 150 dollar ultra high performance user knife that you can buy. Dollar to performance value, the k390 stretch 2 is literally untouched imho (and I'm sure a lot of others opinion as well.)
It's nice to see Benchmade is pricing the Osborne correctly 😂 honestly I would buy the 9400 if I could However I think the Civivi fixed blade is kind of expensive for what it is, not that much but still a bit more than what I would be willing to pay for it

Dave, I'd really like to see your reviews on several budget knives, namely the Lothar Lich King (silver), the Sanrenmu 1005 GC (sometimes GL or GQ ?) and the Holtzman's Gorilla Survival Folding Knife series. What are some of your opinions on these? Many thanks!
These aren’t really reviews, the videos from KnifeCenter are infomercials. Since KnifeCenter doesn’t sell any of the knives you mentioned it is doubtful you will see a review. If they are familiar with them they might post a comment here.
Dang...that Swiftfin is amazing.... I am a huge WE tiger strip Ti fan...but not the Damascus blade/price. Put those TS scales on a 20CV blade and I'm in. Come on WE make it happen.
We live in a world where benchmade is pricing themselves out of the market. You can get a Kershaw Bel Air right now with the same materials, made in the USA, for half the price of the 940 with magnacut. Insane.
Totally agree!!! I was going to post the exact same sentiment. No reason Benchmade needs to be gouging their customers when so many other quality knives are better priced.
We live in world where kids like you don't take into account that a huge portion of Kershaw's product line is made in China whereas Benchmade's entire product line is made in the USA. Not to mention the Osborne has a longer blade than the Bel Air. But keep crying about how you can't afford to buy stuff you really want.
@@scottmackey4182 there's a very good reason Benchmade can price their products higher. They don't have a single one of their products outsourced to China whereas Kershaw does. That's not "gouging" that's pricing according to profit margins. Grow up and realize that outsourcing affects pricing.
@mugsofmirth8101 grow up and realize that the "butterfly tax" you're praising and defending is nothing but a company that is taking advantage of you. The Bel Air is made by the same factory that puts out some of Zero Tolerance's most loved designs. The plain and simple truth is that benchmade hikes their prices higher than needed because they have customers like you who will buy it anyway. It's your money, spend it like you want, but it's my sense of humor and I'm going to laugh at you for it.
It would be so cool to see a modern take on a "barrel knife." The market may or may not be screaming for one at the moment, but a scandi ground barrel knife would sell like hotcakes if you ask me. Let's see this become a reality knife community!

God that’s a terrible price for the magnacut 940. Since they are running the stuff at 60-62, you are better off just getting s30v. For almost the same money as one magnacut 940, you can get a Deka and a KC exclusive k320. Hogue runs their magnacut at 62-64.
You guys have really gotta get some lighter coloured shirts. Holding all of these dark handled, and /or black bladed knives up against the dark green shirts just makes them invisible. Thanks for doing these videos every week, I really appreciate them, and you folks.
Love the look of the spear phisher but $280? If it was half that price I'd place my order now but a 300ish knife needs to stand out. This one looks good, but not that good.
Ya’ll ever get stuff that just won’t sell? Cuz I see so many super bold and odd designs, like a lot of WE stuff, and wonder, ‘who is that for?’ Not mad at it- but just when I think I like odd knives I see something truly out there that melts my brain a bit lol
Do you guys look at your own videos? You hold up a black handled knife with a black blade in front of a dark shirt. It is difficult seeing the outline of the blade.
USA made a lot of Magna cut. And China made a lot of Nitro V ..! I think i only see some Magna cut steel knife in USA. None other country use that steel !! ^^
I've reached the point that I believe the only reason they show Benchmade in their videos is for the engagement the negative comments bring to the algorithm for views... almost 300 for that basic knife and 350 for a little carbon fiber and gas station painted orange blade... smh
