Would love to see this type of video for multitools, pens, and flashlights! Love seeing actual use out of edc gear!
Agreed. Even though I have to many of all of them. I'll take some more 😂 I got my first 2 EDC prybars. Hopefully that doesn't turn in to a Gun Knife flashlight and pen type of habit. 😆
@@GBall_Vision Lean into it. No sense fighting. Just don’t get into watches. You can spend a lot of money on guns, knives, and pens, but watches get into “you could have bought a car” territory surprisingly fast.
I second that!
Didn't know people carried pens in a digital signature world that we live in.
Same not a fan of tools as pocket jewelry their money tho so I don’t care but me personally have to use not trying keep pristine for the next guy like not fucking your side so she’s tight for the next guy
Damn dude. Just subscribed. Been browsing your videos and you’ve lost some serious weight in the past year. Way to go! Thanks for the great videos with quality camera work.
The second you opened that tool roll my peasant ass was lost 😂.
Congrats on your new look, hope with the changes you're feeling well. Loving your videos like always
Agree on the Shiro being one of the best EDC out there. I too have many great knives, but my Hation (same size as your Zero) is a great usable size, super light, slim in the pocket and SO satisfying to flip and close. I’ve had a knife in my pocket everyday for 30+ years and didn’t know of this brand until this year, and it quickly jumped to the top of my rotation.
I just bought the Work Sharp Ken Onion Elite. I am very impressed in just over 40 strokes on 3 belt gradients and I can shred paper with my kitchen knives. They are the only knives I have sharpened so far with it. I highly recommend it, it was available on Amazon Prime a week ago.
I actually just picked up a Work Sharp Precision. For what it is, at it's price, it's worth picking up, especially if your getting into sharpening your own knives. Nick Shabazz made a really good video about it, showing how to use it and such, and he's the reason I picked one up.
They're AMAZING value.
Can they sharpen maxamet
Bought that Work sharp as soon as it came out...I've literally fine tuned every knife I own. I really have a top 3 that I EDC the most. Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight blacked out - Civivi Elementum Button lock in Blue CF shred/Damascus - Benchmade Mini-Freek.
Thanks for showing us an insight to what you carry. I think everyone has at least one of these on their grail list. Even better to know such good knives get used and not just show pieces.
Glad to hear the NoFX reference! One of my favorite bands of all time. Good video!
I just got my first knife. I got the Hinderer designed ZT 0562Ti. It’s a damn good knife so far, and I love the fact that it is a meaty overbuilt knife.
Yessssss! Finally some Homer Zhu love. His work is absolutely amazing. Awesome arsenal of blades there brother 🤙
My precision adjust is my favorite bit of knife related equipment. My friends are always impressed with the edge I put on their knives!
Whoa haven't seen one of your vids in a while , you lost a lot of weight. Good for you bro 👏👏💪
same, and DAYUM BRO, Ok. mans has got slimmer.
Was about tosay the same
Yeah, he stopped EDC'ing his appetite.
Yup. That was a surprise. Looking great man! Nice work
Luv it... keep up the great work. Love the spydiechef man!!
So many beautiful pieces. I want all the peña's ha, I really like his caballero, mula, and trapper. Right now I'm aiming for a Cheburkov Strihz and a quiet carry waypoint.
Nice lineup and review. I like that you found 2 used Shirogorov's, and put them into your user rotation. I'm headed in that same direction, two of the smaller Shiro's to be used. They really are first class knives with precision machining. The 3.375" versions (Neon, HatiON) are just about perfect for EDC, and a pleasure to fidget with. Life is too short not to carry and use a nice folder.
Shiros are some of the ugliest knives ever made.
That Homer knife is absolutely awesome. What a conversation starter as well!
nice top 10. love the TREX. been eying his stuff for a while. hoping Joseph makes a mini isotope as the current size is a little large for me.
My Best Damn EDC Topo Tough Clip is showing up on Wednesday. Shipping was crazy fast
actually ended up arriving today, so only 3 days from order to arrival. So far working great with my urban carvers quick release since it's made of titanium
Sweet! Fast follow up! Way to go my man 😎🙏💕🎈and an ice hardened Damasko chrono on wrist!
Thanks for the review - the swag swayback is my favorite edc knife
I recently purchased a Benchmade North Fork. It is in their hunt line but is proving itself to be a great little EDC. The diamondwood handles make it nice around the office and with only a 3 inch blade it is a great size for EDC. You should check one out.
I love all the knives in your top 10, I like the Civivi nOX, the m4 bugout, the homer zhu t rex, the pena mula, the unumzaan, and the protech Runt. My only question is that why wasn't the PM2 in that list. I am getting into knives so I want to get a pm2 or a benchmade, not sure though.
Great vid, great blades and glad to see wear on the nice knives. I think spydeychef is my next buy:)
I haven’t seen one of these videos for a bit, Taylor looks way different from a year ago, lost a lot of weight. Great job man.
I freaking love my Neon Zero! My only complaint is the pocket clip tension came so tight plus the minimal ramp for it to go in and out of pocket. I did get the clip usable, I too gush over that knife!! The knife that jumps in my pocket most is my Holt Haptic, such an awesome knife!!
Are the shiro slicey they look thin behind the edge never held tho
@@Luke-pb4pc yes, I own the neon zero and a quantum and both are super slicey! The grind is very nice on both.
I love Shiros. I have the F3 NS in blue carbon fiber and the thing is insane in terms of construction, feel, looks, action, and cutting ability. Can't imagine how good the Shiro custom division and full customs are. Way too outside of my price range though. The F3 NS is already expensive AF.
Thanks for filming
Nice rotation.. I’m usually carrying either a spyderco dragonfly 2 (green g10/vg10), a ZT 0450, or a sanrenmu 7010. Usually one “higher end” knife and the sanrenmu.. the sannie is the one I’ll use for more questionable tasks or hand over if I’m asked for a blade.
I’ve also got a bug on my keys and usually a leather man sideclip in my backpack.
Literally was about to ask for this video
I absolutely agree with you. The ‘zaan is the ONLY tanto blade that I would ever consider buying/ owning!
Would you do a video on the types of steel that are used to make these knives? Start from the easiest to sharpen, the best of holding an edge, and the differences between the stainless steel metals used. Wrap it all up in a list so I can see the difference and that will help me in determine the knives that I might want to purchase. One of the best all around knives is an Imperial that I bought from Walmart 30 + years ago and I haven't a clue what kind of steel it is made from. I just know that the grind and the ability to sharpen quickly is great.
The video we have all been waiting for
I had no idea the Isotope can be so smooth and drop shut. I love the smooth and drop shut action on my Axon, Impulse and Synapse XL, but my Isotope is just all gummed up.
Yess wells customs are great been following for a long time!
been waiting on this one!
While I own a Civivi Elementum my most carried Civivi is the Elementum Button Lock in 14C28N blade steel. This blade geometry/steel cuts like a laser!😎👍👌✌
I'm carrying my new PM2 and Deka Wharnie in Ultem and Magnacut quite a bit lately
Have you tried the spartan harsey yet? Such a great knife. I had 2 choose between that or the zan first. Went with the harsey and was not disappointed.
Hey, Taylor, great video as always. I was wondering how the nitro v blade on the NOx compared to the s35vn blade on the elementum. TIA
love this set
Love the channel. Off topic question...what watch are you wearing un this video? Thx.
The Civivi Elementum is the PERFECT size for me. ❤ As a woman I have smaller hands, where the Rat I felt like a darn katana to me...always had to use two hands with it. Looking forward to getting the smaller Rat II. Perfect dimensions for me seem to be right around 3 inch blade, 4 inch handle, 7 inch total length. 😊
Just got my daughter a civi elemintum with titanium scales woth skulls on it. She's 13 and loves it
Nice Damasko! I always go big screen so I can try and identify your watch. LOL!
I’ve been shopping the items you have, but we live below the poverty threshold so some of the prices these things cost make my wife yell at me haha when I tell her I want it! I really wish they would lower the prices on these. I will keep an eye out for used/ cheaper items u have shown. I wish I could use/ handle/ carry all the cool gadgets and tools you show me in every video! If you ever want to get rid of any I would be honored lol 😉! Thanx for the great content & Keep up the great work!
I have wanted a Homer for some time just can’t spend that much on a knife. Awesome knifes, the Civivi Nox is something I want to pick up.
Top most carried knives with a bead a lanyard on every one. 😂 Good content tho man! Thanks for your work.
Love that M4 Bugout from SMKW. Where did that lanyard bead come from?
What I carry most: Bug Out, Delica 4, Buck select 112. slim, Benchmade 940
Have you checked out the Civivi Baklash? It’s a bit bigger than the Nox, has a full finger choil, and is less expensive to boot.
Excellent Video - Can you do another for best USA made EDC knives?
Great video again. Where’d you get the clip on your Spydiechef?
I’ve got the hation zero which is basically the neon and it’s my perfect knife
Clicked the video because I liked how the grey and blue flat grinds in the thumbnail looked.
They're shiro's. No wonder why I liked them
I'm going to get a Work Sharp Precision Adjust, but should I wait for more stones to come out or should I buy one now and get the stones later?
Hey man where do you get all the different lanyards on all your knives? I like them alot
might need one of those wells
Bro, you have more money in edc knives than I do in my whole wood shop, graphic design equipment and edc kit combined. How can you actually use a $700+ knife? I’d be sharting myself.
@Paul Smith but I don’t spend money on call girls, let alone a “high-class call girl” (oxymoron really).
Why would someone pay for sloppy 150ths?
If you had to choose between that M4 Bugout and the 945, which would you go with?
"Medford meets a Jesper Voxnaes design." That thing is beautiful.
Kershaw Blur?
Normally my EDCs are Damascus knives that I can sharpen, often MCusta knives (damascus with VG-10 in the middle). They are easy to sharpen. Some times (I mean only one time only) I also carry the real damascus stuff in the wild (even the one of 4000 dollars). I always take a new knive in the wild but as an EDC it are sandwitch damascus only (so often MCusta's). So I carry expensive knives as EDC: I like it to show them.
I carry some cheap ones form CRKT, like side openers (snap lock and daktyl) but only on request as conversation knives. CRKT have cheap fun knives.
Only got one knife...my custom sheepsfoot griptillian with jade g10 scales...if I ever get another knife it's going to be the titanium bugout with s90v steel...without the coating I feel like it messes up the washers and isn't as smooth to open and close
Your collection never ceases to amaze. Awesome content, my dude.
Taylor, are you not a big Spyderco fan ? I know you have the Chef but it seems like most EDC content creators, sing the praises of either the PM2 or the Para3. I know you have some old vids with a PM2 in them but i dont think I've ever seen you handle a Para3. Just curious your thoughts on those models. I respect and value your opinion. Thanks.
Personally, I think the QC waypoint is the perfect EDC knife, but I see the argument for something like the Shiro. It's a similar design philosophy. Pretty minimalist, slim, ~3.25" blade, great steel. The kind of knife that'll disappear in your pocket, until you need it.
Thought i heard you say you were in NC before. Recently moved to NC. Thought we had to keep it
Been carrying a Gerber EZ Out for around 20 years....it's done what I've needed it to do all these years...I have no clue what, if anything, I've been missing out on not having an expensive knife....do I need to find out????
Hey Taylor, do you ever carry more than one knife? I find myself carrying my many blade and then a back up, for those who may not no how to use a knife lol
Nice looking watch
How about this for a video title: 10 sick knives that are NOT CHEAP! 😂
Appreciate your videos my man.
I really like my r2 in d2. For about 35 bucks, i feel its out standing. Have had in my pocket for 2+ years
GREAT knife (I have the same--OD Green Nylon handle with black coating, no serration). If you're going to go liner lock, go RAT or ZT (imho).
@@keats27 I've got the same configuration. Heard the steel was only semi-stainless, so I grabbed the coated blade to help. Fantastic knife.
@@admiraljosh definitely lived up to the hype.
If you like the Neon Zero, you’ll love the Holt Haptic. It’s better in every single way, other than availability
The holy Haptic is quite notably worse, too many quality care issues with the haptic and with holt in general.
I like that China custom nice 👍
Can we get a pry bar/ pocket tool vid that doesn’t only talk about the TPT? 😂
i would love a to have a umnumzaan cr says its made to use.. the problem is would you use a 450.- knife to give it a beat? i chiped my pm2 within the first week after everybody sayd its a tank as well.. what you think?
Before i die i will go to blade show and meet T Mart. I swear. He has opened my eyes to a whole other world of goodies that i shouldnt buy, but enjoy. Ty sir.
If there was Nox XL… woof, that would be incredibel
I think the opinel no 8 is perfect for light use edc
When are you going to put the Damasko on a Nick Mankey? I think it would look good on one!
That T-Rex is bad ass. I also like the Hero
Left an Abo!👍
Have you been getting sporadic night sweats? Muscle gain overnight? That spider bite on your left hand, you might be turning into Spider-Man of our universe. Best Damn Spider-Man? 🕷🕸 🔪🗡
A shame you and I don't live closer as I can fix the edge back to beautiful in just a few minutes. Retired Knife Maker of 47 years in the business.
I too use expensive knives. However, my knives went for many times the cost of this one. I use the best I can find. That is the purpose of our making them in the first place. Not just to look at. Hell, we could make them out of cheap as dirt steel if all they ever needed to do was sit in a case and be admired.
Sadly, one very famous knife maker and past Knife Makers Guild Presidents did exactly that. Fine daggers and not so much as heat treated. GRRRRR! Pure junk at thousands of dollars each.
I could tell you stories!
KnifeMaker
Hey Taylor. I know the video is about those awesome knives but that watch brother… DAMN… Could you give me some more info on that sweet watch.
I’ve been carrying a knife in my pocket every day for over 40 years and can say without a doubt the benchmade afck is the best knife ever. Every year someone gives me a knife to replace it. I carry the new knife for a week or two only to go back to the afck. Benchmade please remake this knife!
The Umnumzaan is an awesome knife except for when your hands are wet/slippery. That thumb stud pretty much makes it impossible to deploy the blade in slippery conditions. Someone should mod the thumb studs to have more texture for grip.
If you had one choice would you pick a Herman or sheeragoreof
Awesome lineup. Just can't wrap my head around when guys say they use their EDC pocket knife for food prep. That's just so dang crazy. Get yourself a couple decent kitchen knives and get to slicing.
I find when I’m at my dads house I use my pocket knife because his kitchen knives are all very dull. Gotta use what you got.
Love the watch, what brand and model please?
Guy talks about EDC but doesn’t actually mention his EDC in the video including his watch....go figure?
You should check out the civivi appalachan
Honest question here, you say that you love to carry all these expensive $450+ knifes, but do you actually use them or just keep them in your pocket and use other tools from your EDC? I say this because I couldn’t make sense of beating up a nice knife like that during my daily tasks. I get the idea of buying them for the collecting/cool toy aspect
Absolutely. I have trouble even beating up less expensive knives. If it’s over $100 I’d for sure carry it, but I’d not be cutting ANYTHING but cheese with it 😂
@Paul Smith except I didn’t pay $700 for my hot girlfriend 😂
@Paul Smith yep, and she washes my clothes, cleans the house, makes me dinner, does all the grocery shopping, walks the dog, drives the kid to school etc etc.
It’s more of a subscription service ;)
Taylor, do you still have the Pro-Tech RUNT 5? And if you do will you consider selling it?
Which watch are you wearing?
Good morning, what watch are you wearing?
Consider trading that runt? got a Microtech utx-85 blue anno. dagger blade. one side plain, one side serrated. plus $100
I wish you’d make a video showing you actually using your knives. That would be awesome!
I want the neon zero! I don't know where to find it though.
Homer Trex gang 😂 love the video
