Hey Jay! Noticed your tee shirt and wanted to say thanks for the shout out from a lifelong South Carolinian. Love your channel. I have to stay in the “budget” end of the knife spectrum for the most part and I appreciate you doing a super job in that arena. Keep up the good work and thank you for your service!
You never let a manufacturer know you are willing to pay double. You already have them all some of us don't and now they may be more expensive. Thanks for the video .
I got the praxis Damascus, and the kizer towser k. Love them both. The kizer towser is a very smooth knife. Love the top 10. My towser has blue richlite scales.
The black on black Praxis caught my attention. I like what you pointed out on the blade to handle ratio! And I love the SR1 Lite. Got both clip and tanto version AND have gifted a couple of em too! Great video!!!
Great video Jay! Nice list.The Kizer mini Roach is awesome I got both versions and swapped blades and removed flipper tab from one of them. Keep making the great content.
Harnds Assassin, I have to agree a knife that gets overlooked far too often. The action on mine is just beautiful, I would have paid double for this knife. And the Kizer Sheepdog, forget about it. Hands down one of it not my favorite all time knife. I have several Sheepdigs, with and with out flipper tabs.
Great List! Another knife you may want to check out that would fit in this list is the CMB Knives Predator. It's like a budget Koenig Aria in G10 and D2, but with an Axis Lock, all for less than $50. My favorite Praxis is the latest version in black burlap micarta (they call it "black coarse micarta").
Hey - don't talk about paying more!! Prices are going up enough as it is!! Must admit though I agree with the Kizers, Cold Steel & RAT knives. They all deliver so much quality & performance for their price. In particular my RAT 1 (I know not technically on the list) and SR1 Lite just get a hiding and keep performing. Thanks Jay - stay safe.
SOOO Glad you mention the Ganzo!! I accidentally stumbled upon the firebird and it has become one of my favorite edc's!! Love thge blade , the lock system!! I just wish there were more places to purchase them!!! Amazon will not Ship them to me in NY!!!! does anyone else have that problem?? I ask to assure myself that its because I live in NY and not a personal computer issue.. LOVE GANZO!!
Jay another great video. I love a ton of knife utube channels, I have to say you bye far are the one who has prompted me to immediately get on Amazon an buy something. After the video I am checking out the Petrified fish. Thank you sir. Oh if possible could you mention the watch you were rockin in this video! THANK YOU BROTHER!
Informative, Quick and Fair. 🙏Respect🙏. An impressive list of great budget knives. I agree with your insight and thoughts on the lineup. I feel smarter viewing your content. I have the wood handle praxis and its great. I would not feel bad if I had paid double for the Kizer Original, The Civivi Ortis, The SRM1005, Eafengrow EF966 or The FreeTiger FT801. All budget-friendly and fidgety. Wait.....did I just leave off the Ganzo-753M1? 🤣 Be well and Keep it coming.......
Yeah I agree, the wood handle Praxis is such a good looking knife. The Ganzo 753 and Eafengrow EF966 came so very close to making this list. Thank you!
Another awesome video. Would like to buy the mini roach, but no lefty luv. So I ordered the mini October instead. Hope you are having a dandy weekend !
My favorite type of pocket knives is folding cleaver blade knives. I have 3 folding cleaver blade pocket knives. I have the Buck knives 263 HILINE with A D2 stonewashed stainless steel 3.25 inch cleaver blade. And black G10 handle scales. And I have a Gerber Flatiron with A 3.6 inch D2 stainless steel satin finish cleaver Blade. And A blue Micarta handle scale And I have A Kershaw Static with A 2.9 inch 8CR13MOV stainless steel satin finish cleaver blade.
@@TheKnifeBeater yes definitely the Buck knives 263 HILINE is definitely are great knife. And oh okay. And hopefully the Buck HILINE will make onto a list of yours in the future. And your welcome.
Glad to see you got your mini Roach also. I got the blackwash version and I did remove the flipper tab. I have hardly put it down for the last 5 days. It is totally worth more than the asking price (and the closing action does improve with more fidgeting) and I ordered it 60 seconds after I saw it. So now I can move on to the eventual purchase of that Towser K. To quote the Joker from Batman, "You have the most interesting toys." Keep it coming. Be safe.
I think if they switched the steel of the praxis to nitro v and asked 70 to 80 bucks for it they would sell just as many as they do now. Thanks for the dope vids brotha 🤙
Her Jay, I carry a PRAXIS with the Damascus blade. I feel it carries extremely well for a large pocket knife. Really like the Kershaw auto launch 11, might have to get one.
Hello Jay. Some classics in there. The thing is, in the last couple of years some of these knives have already doubled in price. Like the ganzos, Haarnds, PF, SRM, ETC KNIVES. ALL THE BEST.
But.. part of what makes them soo good, it that we are NOT paying double!!! 🤓 I have hundreds of knives, but still carry the Dozier to work all the time. It's so light and strong and ergonomic, with no bearings to get fouled up with crud. However, I don't know if I'd purchase it again if it doubled in price. I'd probably choose something else at that point. (like one w smoother action lol)
You could literally only collect knives under $100 and have an amazing collection now. I want the BHQ Kershaw Launch 11. 20CV with that blue pivot is sweet.
Fantastic list! I love my SR1 and launches. Thank you for another great one. I appreciate you for subscribing to mu channel when I started out. You're an awesome guy. Slowly growing and having a great time.
I hate when finger choil enters deep into the blade, like with that Kizer mini roach. It disturbs the whole aesthetic of the blade, and it just looks like it's broken or something.
Frankly, I hate Civivi for what they've done with the Praxis. They released it initially with black scales and a silver blade and then this god-awful tacky fake gold colored liners that made it look like some trashy gas station in the hood piece of crap. They had the green handle Black blade available, and like I said they had the black handle, but they never put them together for a black on black. They've since released a black micarta and Black blade but of course that's half again as much money. Why they would not release a black handle Black blade for $42.50 makes no sense. They would have sold tens of thousands of them. I also think you should have called out Harnds for naming that model the Assassin. It's a beautiful knife I'd love to have, but could never carry. If you ever had to use that knife in a self-defense situation and you're in court, you're going to get absolutely nailed for using a knife named the Assassin. That name is absolutely asinine, why don't they just name the next one "the murder knife.". Sorry for the ranting, those two things just really bug me.
I appreciate people that speak their mind, so rant away. I didn't really like the gold liners either, but I could tolerate it because I just love the design. You're right, a black on black G10 version would've made sense.

@@TheKnifeBeater nah thank you man love the reviews best on youtube.

Thank you Jorge! That's a good idea giving those as gifts because they feel way more expensive.
Hi Jay, fantastic selection as always. The mini Roach is amazing
Thanks Daniel! Yeah, I'm impressed with it.
Great video Jay! Nice list.The Kizer mini Roach is awesome I got both versions and swapped blades and removed flipper tab from one of them. Keep making the great content.

Yeah, I've got one of those Predators on the way to me, I'm looking forward to trying it out. Thanks Danzig!
Another great list Jay. IKIV had no idea that knife existed.

Despite all of the neat budget options nowdays, the RAT2 and the Dozier are still a couple of my favorites. Great list, Jay!
Yeah, those are two deals that are tough to beat. Thanks David!
Awesome list! Thank you!
love your energy my man
Hi Jay . Thanks for the great vids
My pleasure HB. Thank you!

Thanks for giving me some great ideas for Blade Show purchases, Jay.
You bet David! I would love to go one of these days.
Dude! Jay! This is the first vid I’ve seen from your channel in many months! Where have you been? Good vid btw.
Thanks Robert! Do you maybe not have the notifications turned on? I've been uploading about once a week.
Whoa! Thanks for the #1 spot and the support!
Hey Jay I love your list they are great can you do one of fully ambidextrous knives that would be a good one thanks for sharing 🍻
You bet Grim, thanks for the idea.
@@TheKnifeBeater You’re welcome Jay
bro, i broke down and got the Civivi Elementum. I'm not disappointed. deploys fast and easy. and u can't beat the price. again, thank u for your time.
Oh yeah, it's a solid knife. Thanks Charles!
Another awesome video.
Would like to buy the mini roach, but no lefty luv.
So I ordered the mini October instead.
Hope you are having a dandy weekend !
Yeah I was kinda surprised about the one position clip. Thanks Greg, you too!
Is this legit ?
@@gregsobek722no, its a scam, just look at how many times this guy spammed others in this same video.
@@maxlvledc that's what I thought, thanks for letting me know.
Awesome video! Where in South Carolina are you at? I lived in Charleston for 15+ years.
I like the purple and Damascus praxis that sheepdog on list as well as the assasin knife 🔪 💜 great vid jay

Awesome Video!
Will you please post a list of the Names of the Knives and the Mosels? That would be so much appreciated!

Kizer did such a good job of making something unique in a very crowded market, I respect that. Thanks Carmen!
Jay! I know you like the ganzo's and you need to get yourself an adimanti samson!! Picked one up recently and it is awesome! Great video buddy!
Thanks Will! You're right, I do need to check out that Samson.
I think if they switched the steel of the praxis to nitro v and asked 70 to 80 bucks for it they would sell just as many as they do now. Thanks for the dope vids brotha 🤙
I would pay $70 for a 14c28n or nitro-v praxis all day.
We can only hope the praxis comes out in 14c or NitroV!
Omg, that would be awesome, I love that idea! Thanks Michael.
Hi J, Brett from downstate I like the praxis, I have blue g10 with gold liners satin blade, it's just about perfect! great vid as usual buddy!
Yeah, that one is a beauty! Thanks Brett!
Great list Jay.
Thank you Rusty!
SR1 is my favorite knife. It was my first serious knife.
Her Jay, I carry a PRAXIS with the Damascus blade. I feel it carries extremely well for a large pocket knife. Really like the Kershaw auto launch 11, might have to get one.
I love that Damascus version too. I didn't expect to like the Launch 11 as much as I do.
Hello Jay. Some classics in there. The thing is, in the last couple of years some of these knives have already doubled in price. Like the ganzos, Haarnds, PF, SRM, ETC KNIVES. ALL THE BEST.
Yeah, unfortunately some have.
Really have enjoyed your reviews. Wanting to ask some questions about a Petrified Fish knife the Scholar . How can I contact you?
Have you tried a Kubey Tityus yet? Strange name, great folder. Fun list man!
oh yeah, big fan.
Ruike P801 is a knife I would pay double for, definitely. I still think it’s the best quality per dollar knife on this planet, and has been for years.
I couldn't agree more Keith. There's a lot of knives that deserve a spot on this list.
Nice Seiko Arnie !👍
Good choices thxs
Yea the Assassin is redic...and the drop is redic.. the Praxis...can't even..it's soo much better than most othe other knives out there.
But.. part of what makes them soo good, it that we are NOT paying double!!! 🤓
I have hundreds of knives, but still carry the Dozier to work all the time. It's so light and strong and ergonomic, with no bearings to get fouled up with crud.

Thanks Brandon! I wanna buy it too, but it's tough for me to justify buying another one.
Don't forget the CRKT PILAR 3 ‼️👍
Oh for sure! You know I love that one.
Haha loving the probe droid intro
I'm liking the Cold Steel SR1
Glad they made the flipper optional on that mini roach. Pity the clip isn't ambidextrous
Fantastic list! I love my SR1 and launches. Thank you for another great one. I appreciate you for subscribing to mu channel when I started out. You're an awesome guy. Slowly growing and having a great time.
Nice group of knives, these are all in my wheelhouse.
Nice! Thank you Pietro!
Kabar Dozier in d2 is $40 on amazon right now, not $80.
I hate when finger choil enters deep into the blade, like with that Kizer mini roach. It disturbs the whole aesthetic of the blade, and it just looks like it's broken or something.
I got a s&w model velocity. It realy suck😡
I love your videos! Can't say more!
You're the best Dogan, thanks!
Once again a great list of knives! You could do this ten times over and still have not cover all the great knives out there!
So true! Thanks Matt.
Dam,cool,knifes
Lol Jay, it seems like your #1 pick has some serious problems?...
Yeah, I guess I highly value it's unique features enough to overlook some of that stuff.
@@TheKnifeBeater Nothing wrong w/ that. Warts and all, as they say
Luke the shirt I live in sc
Thanks Andrew!
Mate! NEVER try to pay more!! 😔
See if ya can get a discount.....😏
Alternate video title…. “10 EDC knives that just doubled in price!?!”
You better hurry and buy em then

Dang, you caught me.
