I liked the Spyderco PM2 so much, I bought two! The standard blade with the digi-camo scales and the Tanto with the black G10 scales. I swapped the scales between the two and love both even more!!!
To me, the knife I carry most is the best. That would be the Spyderco Para 3 in digital camo with black S45VN. Other top knives of 2021 for me would be brass QSP Penguin, XL Sheepdog and the Mannix 2 LW.
My favorite purchase this year was a Benchmade mini bugout then I added Flytanium crossfade copper scales. I left on the orange thumb stud and back spacers. Looks great!
First live with Blade HQ. My best purchase of 2021 was the blacked out Spyderco Tenacious lightweight I picked up towards the beginning of the year. That knife goes to work with me every day and never let's down.
Got together with my sister's family and my parents for a holiday celebration. Was so happy to see her sport her Boker Mermaid that I gave her a while back.
I bought a bugout last year along with some other knives. Just kicked off 2022 with a Para 2 purchase. Absolutely love it especially now that the base model has been upgraded to S45VN. Crazy that all these years after it came out it’s still a top seller. Thanks for the vid!
I bought a Bugout last year because I wanted a EDC with a good steel but I‘m completely unsure how to continue… 1. go with high quality steel knifes that are ~ 100-200$ or 2. buy knifes I just like no matter what steel it has… are D2 steel and other steels in this price category good enough for EDC? I don‘t mind sharpening them… I live in a city so the chance ending up in a survival situation is very small😅
bought that kershaw on sale for like 10 bucks. the price was right and its not a bad knife. oiled it a bit and loosened it and opens fine. good knife i dont feel bad about beating up. a couple of my buddies bought one too
I got a QSP penguin with denim micarta. Its a pretty great utility knife. I just got a boker mermaid a few days ago. Needed a slight pivot tweak, but it works well. I got your exclusive Civivi Elementum with the stone washed blade and copper handles. One of the best knives I ever got. Benchmade mini bugout is next on my list. I like the smaller knives.
I own both a QSP Penguin and a Civivi Elementum and I love them both. 10/10 would recommend you look at getting a Spyderco Para 3 if you can afford it. Its by far my favorite knife for edc.
I bought a ridiculous amount of knives just this year. Lol 😆 Kinda hard to pick a favorite, but I grabbed a electric blue and a white kalashnikov, swapped everything and ended up with a slick looking white and blue one and a extra black on black one. Was fun, and a cheap project from just keeping an eye on your sales. Hope everyone has a great new year coming and beyond 👍 (Edit: get the red boker back in stock already!! I grabbed another white one...🤦♂️🤣)
@@mrbeyondthebeard it's super fun,cheap, and you get something unique out of it. With the variety of kalashnikovs always coming and going, the combos are almost endless.
Two weeks ago I purchased a Nura 3.0, an SRK Compact and a Leek reverse tanto from you folks. I love the blade shape of the Nura 3.0 and this is my second Nura 3.0 I’ve purchased. Put some oil on the Nura’s bearing/pivot and the blade will flip out much easier. I would prefer the Nura to be manufactured here in the states instead of China. At least the Leek is made here. I may purchase another SRK Compact cause the price is right. Wish the SRK sheath had the mounting options the Gerber StrongArm has but the price for the SRK is right.
I can't afford most of the knives from the USA, so I want to choose well and not overpay. These two knives are just available in Poland and have a price to live on
I’ve gotten a few second hand bugouts and a BHQ exclusive Kalashnikov this year (among others but those are highlights) but my favorite was the BHQ Exclusive Flash Sale Kizer Beglieter. Absolutely phenomenal knife. Can’t wait to see what else you guys come out with as exclusives in 2022!
I wonder what the best sellers were in the higher price range. Maybe consider doing the best sellers in 3 different categories next year? Just a thought. Always enjoy the content 😁
I have three Elementums I bought both of the s35vn blade HQ exclusives for 59.99 a piece I think it was on the 26th or the 27th they were marked down so I ordered one of each. And I have one in D2 with olive micarta. I’m gonna die the natural G 10 scales Either brown, green, or graphite. I’m gonna put the olive micarta scales on one of the s35vn versions and put the natural g 10 on my D2 version. Keep making videos and I’ll keep buying knives.
I got my brother-in-law the Böker USB since he does coding professionally, and I figured he could appreciate a knife that imitates some of the tools he works with. I haven’t heard from him yet what he thinks of it, but I got to try it out a bit before wrapping it. It fires so hard that the blade basically materializes and dematerializes. It’s fun to watch.
King Kong carries a Benchmade Adamas Auto. I have put mine through so much. The FDE finish is beat up but that knife with the cruwear blade has been nothing short of amazing since I started carrying it when it came out.
Are Civivi and WE knives part of the same company? I have been seeing a lot about a Civivi Baby Banter but now I see the full size is made by WE knives……right? Kinda confused here.
You guys should do some sort of challenge with a Para 2 against a Bugout! Similar to when you did the CJRB feldspar vs the Civivi Mckenna in the Epic EDC challenge!
Some of those Kershaw flippers have great action, but you have to work it in a very particular way. My Bareknuckle is like that, fantastic knife, but there's only a specific way it opens easily.
Starting the conversation of categorizing the blade shape of a Spyderco knife is basically asking for a headache. At the end, you accomplish nothing, and you wish you could just have your time back. Its a damn good blade, and lets leave it at that.
that black widow is so gorgeous.. hope i can have one from you guys as for my 1st knife😊 happy new year guys.. a subscriber here in the philippines.. god bless🤟
I have the all black Boker Kalashnikov. For the money it is a fantastic knife. Feels good in the hand, D2 blade, fast and snappy! Well made knife for the money. I doubt you will be disappointed if you get one. Happy New Year!
I did get quite a few knives this year 2 pm 2s in different color ways. A para 3. Like 5 Civivis. A protech Malibu. A few autos. But my favorite one I think is the bug out. I got a bunch of aftermarket scales. Some super cool stuff from Etsy!
Hinderer Ranch drop point in 3V and natural micarta in the fixed blade category. Jake Hoback Husky flipper in Nitro V and natural micarta/Ti for the folder. Doesn't get much better than that!
Sorry guys, I missed out on several knives on my list because I was never notified when they came in back in stock. Several others in different knife forums complained about the same issue. Contacting Customer Support did not lead to any resolution. Very disappointed.
Ahhhh yeah! Fun to see the Banter in the group.
WE love the Banter!!! 😀

I'm planning to do the same. Im looking at the black coated blade and I'm looking at the antique stone washed copper handles.
First live with Blade HQ. My best purchase of 2021 was the blacked out Spyderco Tenacious lightweight I picked up towards the beginning of the year. That knife goes to work with me every day and never let's down.
I’m done buying knives for this year (2022) I bought 2 Praetorians, and a Micro Praetorian :,)
Got together with my sister's family and my parents for a holiday celebration. Was so happy to see her sport her Boker Mermaid that I gave her a while back.

My best knife of 2021 is a TOOR field 2.0 in battleship grey with walnut handles and dynamic fluting with copper liners sharp a f !!!!
Have you used it? I hear that coating comes off easily. Does it?
I'm hoping to pick up a Toor sometime this coming year. Ive been loving them since they came on my radar

Love the year wrap up! Heal fast Dallas! Bonus points for Kurt’s beard!!

A knife banter to end the year off! Hell yeah brother!

One of my favorite knives is my Keizer Feist what other knives of similar size do you suggest?
I carry my pm2 tanto black daily since the initial run. Absolutely great knife!
Same here it’s become my favorite carry
I’m still enjoying my SOG Pentagon and BladeHQ exclusive, OD green Terminus XR🔪
Your Pentagon have blade rub when deploying and retracting on the insid of the handles like so many others have?
Love to end the year with a good old knife banter. Could you guys do a video on steels in the coming year.
Bought 6 of the QSP Penguins with custom inscriptions as gifts for my groomsmen this past year. We love them!
The best knife of the year is my custom knives, and the Osborne 940
Never heard of your knives before but sure have plenty of Benchmades
you can advise which of the knives of this steel is better or make a comparison video .kershaw link 20cv hogue deca 20 cv

Since last night I am obsessed with Benchmade Station Knife! I wanna pair it with BlackBear Custom Kydex breakaway Chest rig! WHOO HOO!!!!
I dig Dallas representing the Oregon shirt!
I wonder what the best sellers were in the higher price range. Maybe consider doing the best sellers in 3 different categories next year? Just a thought. Always enjoy the content 😁
I'm loving the whippsnakes cup
Hey guys ! Very good idee to show them the best selling of the year ! We need a good knifes "shop and channel" like you in France. Thanks a lot
I still have my 25 year old Hen and Rooster.
SRK; best blade in the bunch. Just got the forged cold steel boot knife.
Thanks for everything guys! Happy new year!!

My wife has The Mermaid, I have the QSP Penguin, Para 3 g10, and the Ben Blue Banter. Good stuff guys. Happy New Year 😊
I have been beating a Kalashnikov for about 4 years everyday use and still kicking
of all that.. the QSP Penguin for me... is the best knife... its just so fidgety and super smooth to deploy...
Same here. Quality wise mine outperforms the Chinese Spydercos any day.
I got my brother-in-law the Böker USB since he does coding professionally, and I figured he could appreciate a knife that imitates some of the tools he works with.

I wonder what the NET bought this year! Breaking out a cup of coffee right now! ☕️
Kurt rocking the Talon gear, nice
King Kong carries a Benchmade Adamas Auto. I have put mine through so much. The FDE finish is beat up but that knife with the cruwear blade has been nothing short of amazing since I started carrying it when it came out.
I have acquired many of these over the years
I would like to see a blade hq exclusive premium boker mermaid. Super steel, titanium handle, ball bearings, the works
Let's go whips!!!!
It was a good year for knives
Thanks review, i just buy 2 qsp penguin titanium, and 1 qsp penguin brass.
Banter. Best of all time
Did you fill out an accident report?
I just want to know where i can get one of those mugs you are drinking from
That thumb roll on the Kershaw bali was crazyy actually
Looked over at the water bottle and noticed that someone is a Whips fan. Hoping for the third title this year!!
I purchased the lucha last year, it's a sweet knife
Hey, guys-
Nice job, great video!!! Happy New Year!
My Spyderco clip was great until it fell off , do you know where I can buy one for under $20?
You guys must have got a hell of a deal on those mermaid blades
I got the Spyderco paramilitary 2 with aluminum handles that just dropped and sold out
Where did you get that Oregon shirt?
im digging the whipsnakes sticker there Kurt
Dallas needs a Mermaid! 💯🧜♀️
When are you guys opening international sales.
Great video guys!!!! Lol I have alot of these same knives!!!! Happy new year ...I love blade hq
Thanks for show off fun.
Link the Boker Black Widow Kalashnikov video with the stories ~!
Great video guys
What are your guys thoughts on the crkt berserker
Are Civivi and WE knives part of the same company? I have been seeing a lot about a Civivi Baby Banter but now I see the full size is made by WE knives……right? Kinda confused here.
Happy new year’s. New knife? New stitches. I got 6 from Santa.
You guys should do some sort of challenge with a Para 2 against a Bugout! Similar to when you did the CJRB feldspar vs the Civivi Mckenna in the Epic EDC challenge!
"3 inch blade hence Para 3"? How long is the Para 2 blade?
Why not put them in order?
The green shirt looks like the state of Pennsylvania(PA)! Nice!
I thought it was Oregon lol
It's a Benchmade shirt representing Oregon where they're based.
Carbides!
I want aluminum or titanium scales for my Claymore..... But unfortunately flytamium say they're not going to make any
I’ve seen someone baton a Bugout. They can take a beating. The guys at Dutch Bushcraft tried to break it and couldn’t with even insane use.
Is that PM2 Tanto ever coming around again?
I love my Civivi elementum
Thanks for show. Good stuff.

Twosun TS 301-D2
Boker Kaizen, Demko AD20.5, Civivi Cogent, kizer swaggs swayback and crkt ceo flipper, silly auto correct.
A knife in the hand is better than two in the store. The best knife is the one I have in my pocket. 😜
I got a mini bugout a month ago and the lock already broke
Dallas always has me laughing 😂
BRING BACK THE UTAH STOREFRONT! - Hi Ray *Salutes*
SEI Productions shirt! Nice dude!
Are you guys ever going to cover brands like carved knives?
Buck 110. All. Day.
Damn, Kurt is a lacrosse fan!
I just got a recon tanto and man does that thang slice lol
that black widow is so gorgeous..
hope i can have one from you guys as for my 1st knife😊
happy new year guys..
a subscriber here in the philippines..
god bless🤟
I have the all black Boker Kalashnikov.
For the money it is a fantastic knife. Feels good in the hand, D2 blade, fast and snappy! Well made knife for the money. I doubt you will be disappointed if you get one. Happy New Year!
The Nura is ruined by the coating on the blade, its filling up the detent hole and thats why its weak.
Para 3, hence the 3" blade... Just like the PM2 has a... Oh, wait a minute... lol
Bruh I miss the old version of this with the little guy you know who it is and they not even pretending it’s the same rip bhq
Waiting on the benchmade proper to return

Hinderer Ranch drop point in 3V and natural micarta in the fixed blade category. Jake Hoback Husky flipper in Nitro V and natural micarta/Ti for the folder. Doesn't get much better than that!
@@ReadyEdge Depends on who you ask
Got the Hinderer Ranch too! Maroon micarta.
Boker mermaid rocks! 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boker Mermaid IS Grail knife!
I didn’t know you were a lacrosse fan, Kurt. A little disappointed in you being a fan of the Whipsnakes, but happy nonetheless
Spyderco call it the "leaf shape" blade.
