Pocket knives have come a long way over that past 50 plus years. Where I grew up, as kids most of us carried a cheap Barlow. By high school we saved up for a Case knife. The variety of designs and quality of materials available today are mind blowing.
I so done with $260 knives that are no better than $60 Civivi knives. Magnacut and fru fru steels are fine and dandy, but of few people can tell the difference when all you do is fondle the knife and use it 3 times a day to open Amazon packages. Love the show, sir. I'm just weary of krazy prices.
I love GM knives and I have a decent collection of Jesper Voxnaes designed knives. I have the Ace Sonoma V1 (full titanium) and the Ace Jutland (black coating and burlap micarta). Other Vox designed knives are CRKT Pilar 3 and Pilar 4; Viper Belone and Vale. All have a curved handle and a metal back spacer.
I'm just tired of the overpriced small stylish or current trendy folders, like those Jack Wolf little guys.. 300 bucks for those!!. Nope, I'll put my CS SR1 Lite up against em any day.
I love their designs for their attention to comfort during use, particularly for both large and small hands (I have tiny hands even or a female). I have the Tribeca, Farley, and the Vox designed MKM Mikro. These are no pouch pretties- I beat the hell out of my Tribeca and Mikro every day and they are up for anything work throws at them while my hands stay comfy and happy. The Farley is my most city/European laws-friendly apple slicer. All are nice to fidget with too. Yes they were pricey, but I’ve found them worth every penny.
You just described every Chinese knife brand in existence within the first 2 minutes. And everybody has fallen for the marketing hype/grift. Nobody remembers their knives a month after release, and good luck naming any a year later. And you really nailed it with the 'soul' part. China knives really do lack that feeling. It's hard to explain, but when I handle a USA-made knife (or really anything made outside of China), it just hits different. GM is a knife company worth getting behind as long as they keep producing in Italy. They have a few knives OEM'd in China, but most are in made Italy. I don't own a GM knife yet as they tend to run too small for me (I prefer 3.5"+ blades generally speaking) but they are really nice looking. Jutland is pretty close and that blade is indeed very nice. Good stuff as always GT! 😎👍
@@ob1856 well said. I think you summarized the state of the knife union pretty accurately right there. The quality gap between China and USA-made still exists, materials and action be damned. There's simply no pride of ownership attached to something made in anonymous factories by wage slaves that ultimately only profit communism, whether these makers want to admit it or not. But that's the ultimate goal: take money out of our economy and pour it into theirs. I may not be able to control that with certain goods, but I sure as heck can with knives.
Pocket knifes are mass productions tools these days and they feel not special anymore (except collectors items). Feels like every day five new (different) pocket knifes of each brand come out. Companies only throw out variations of already known designs and only rarely does a new, unused design appear. How many knifes you really need in your life to be happy and like to use everyday? 1, 3, 5, 10 or more? I have 6 different knifes collected over the last 30 years. I have them in different sizes and for various purposes.
This Italian knife maker’s are doing an exceptional work, the lines , material, design & quality are fantastic. Cross bar or button lock will be preferable, I concur.
@tacticalcenter8658 Lionsteel have their blades heat treated by another certified company of Maniago that guarantees the quality of the treatment to Lionsteel.
Way too much 💵💵💰💰 for me... Anything over 40, 50 bucks and I'm out. I would be too afraid of losing it, subsequently causing me to leave it in a drawer and pull it out every once in a while for a show and tell. Pretty knives, but I'm out.
There are two types of knives, those to be used as tools and those for vanity. Knives all look the same because that form and shape is the one that works best. If you have small 200$ plus pocket knives, those are vanity knives. Yes, Magnacut is one of the most expensive steels commonly sold. I'm not counting the bonkers steels like the Rex 121, Maxamet and the likes that are just ludicrous and meant as pure vanity knives. No one really needs 70+ RHC pocket knives. You can buy incredibly good knives under 200$ that'll take insane punishment and possibly outlive you. Anything over that amount and you're breaking diminishing return odds. You're not gonna get much more improvement for your money.
I have an Ace Corta that's crazy nice. It was made by Reate for GM. I'm very interested in the REO, and may pick one up at some point. If I'm being honest, when I got the email that they were coming out with a Biblio "XL", I was kind of disappointed when I saw it was 3.25". To me that's kind of Xtra Medium. It is nice looking though. And I never heard of the Yacht, and it's really nice looking. Have a great weekend Aaron.
What's this "heart and soul" knife business stuff? Aspire for that in a potential spouse, and count yourself blessed if you attain it. For a knife, anything 1) affordable, with a 2) decent steel, a 3) versatile blade profile, 4) with a deep enough carry pocket clip [, and if possible (and it is) 5) doesn't help fill the coffers of the C.C.P.,] is--to my estimation--a perfectly acceptable knife.
Nice blades. I am also fed up with the flood of copy/paste knives. If a knife doesn't put a smile on my face, I don't buy it. My last purchase = Artisan Xcellerator 😃
Way overpriced and for European (like me) it's totally ridiculous to buy one of their knives as they only sell from the USA, stupidly increasing the price for no reason, their knives going from Italy to the USA (first extra import fees) then back to Europe (second import fees) so basically their knives only feed the tax system of both EU and USA for no reason and are 2x as expensive as all their major Italian competitors for no reason.

That’s fine brother some of us have harder use for our knives. Different strokes.

An XL under 3.5 inches? That's a shmedium ! The Yatch has potential, but again, size matters.
I love my Biblio xl. Totally agree about the heart and soul. Market is flooded and these stand out for sure.

Poor heat treatment though
@@tacticalcenter8658 no issues so far with my Italian Mkm or the vipers but I’ll keep my eyes open

you could up your budget to at least ~$60 as there's a lot of really nice stuff at that price point.
Put it in the same place at the end of the day and put it right in your pocket after you’re done with it and you won’t lose it.
Do you a link for that worksharp portable sharpener? It’s nice
Any update on the Victorinox short video? Curious as to who will win?!👍🏿💯❤️
Yes! Next week the video will go up

I love GM knives; they do sub-3-inch blades (my preference) as well or better than anyone!
I'm not a fan of liner locks. My favourite is the crossbar followed by the compression lock and lock back.
I like the knives but not the price. Barely any below 200 bucks.
It is true but you get what you pay for!
@gideonstactical true! I'm a spyderco guy and I'd rather have some of these than another spydie lol tempting. I already have like a 4 grand cart 💀
i own the GM Jagt i noticed liner lock is unusually hard to depress when closing other than that great knife dig the crowned spine .

G 10 all day long for me !!! Gotta admit, those wire clips dont do it for me. Especially at that price point
Good thing they have those extra ones for $12 now.
@@gideonstactical roger that ! I can rock that optional clip.
200+ for a liner lock..... nope! Liner locks and D2 (yes I know these are not D2 steel, just sayin) are so yesterday....

Good vídeo!!!!
Not a fan of GM knives, nothing special that makes them stand apart. Plus I hate liner lock knives with a passion, cheap and unsafe.
Good video! Giant Mouse make great knives!
Ace nice I use Mkm
Blades remind me of some kind of bird beak .
I have been carrying the buck 110 since 1981 this is all you need for camp, you are showing defense knifes.
Algorithm for the comments....
Always appreciate it Charles!
Giantmouse Italy has terrible heat treatment. Avoid.
I have seen the opposite from several sources lately

Please no more lock backs or liner locks. I wouldn't mind a button actuated liner lock/compression lock!
