    Man I've love your content for some years now. I appreciate your humility and relatability. Never make me think I'm a lesser person because I don't have a 300 - 600 hundred dollar knife in my collection yet. I got many of the knives I own from your recommendations.
    Thank you so much for your work. Thank you

    Hey man, You have quickly become one of my favorite knife reviewers. I think you understand what most of us want, hi value, decent steel, reasonable price. How about a video on fully serrated folders? I cut a lot of cardboard and find that fully serrated works the best at ripping and cutting. What are your thoughts on the base Delica now selling at 85 dollars? Thanks

    • @TheKnifeBeater
      @TheKnifeBeater  4 года назад +1

      Thanks so much, nice of you to say. That's a great idea for a video! I understand why the Delica is so popular, but I think $85 is a bit much. Instead of buying one, I would probably put that money towards a Native 5, Chaparral, Sage 5, or even a Para 3. I would rather have something with a finger choil, but that's just my opinion.

    I've got a Benchmade Bone Collector with a Micarta handle. I'm not sure of the model, but I do LOVE it. The look of milled Micarta is tuff to beat and the strength-grip-durability balance makes it one of the best scale/handle materials imo.

    And great vid Jay. StatGear Ausus often goes unknown. It was one of my first knives getting into the hobby. I, unfortunately, got the version 1. No milling, terrible grind, mine was like 35thou BTE, and the whole thing wound up having red loctite with weak hardware. My first time disassembling the pivot the actual pivot screw snapped in half. I reached out to StatGear and they immediately mailed me a new knife. Version 2 is something I definitely recommend! They said the first batch was rushed to get out before the Holidays and the makers they used...well they struggled to say the least. The knife and makers were re-evaluated for V2 it seems.
    I ended up giving mine to the Neeves and I know Jerad loves it. It was among the first fabric feeling micarta knives under $50 I believe! Definitely recommend them and StatGear often has flash sales that put them even lower in price.

    Not a big fan of micarta but I wholeheartedly agree with you on the CJRB Feldspar. It's a great little knife. It will soon replace my Rat1 as my edc. Good action, great blade shape, good size . It's only flaw I'm my mind is the pocket clip . Hate them. They make any knife less comfortable to use . Their only use is to shred the top hem of your pocket and give you a hot spot under heavy use.

    Great list Jay, I have the penguin in blue denim micarta and it's pretty great. Btw did I send you have an XM-18, but I don't think I've seen you review it, did I miss the review? If I missed it, I'll feel like a jumbo dork🤓

      Lol. Wow Tom, you don't miss a thing. I did actually just get that XM-18, no review yet. Got it from DLT Trading. They get a bunch in stock and then they sell out ridiculously fast. I was like an obsessed crazy person, checking their website every day trying to catch the skinny sheepsfoot with working finish for sale. I almost settled for the spear point 3.5" xm-18 because I was tired of waiting. I watched your video on the xm-18 a few times to help me figure out which version I wanted.

    Nice list but would like to have seen your thoughts on the Kizer Lieb in micarta. Could have been on your jumbo list of micarta knives

    • @TheKnifeBeater
      @TheKnifeBeater  4 года назад

      Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to keep knives on this list around $50.

    The only Micarta handle knife I own is an original Gerber Paul. I later acquired the Gerber Paul II which is like a jumbo version of the original.

    Good examples of Micarta handles are found in several models of MUELA folders (Argamasilla de Calatrava, C. R., Spain)

    Hello Jay. No code word here. I really like the blade shape on that Penguin. As you say a dream for sharpening. Really enjoying playing with some recent aquisitions at the moment, though my wife is getting annoyed with the constant clack - clack. Ha ha. All the best my friend.

    I love micarta planning on getting aftermarket micarta scales for my Spyderco Shaman, Para 3, and PM2. I would love to see Micarta for my Jumbo sized Cold Steel AD10. Oh and I have some Rough Ryder micarta knives that I really like.

    My EDC is the same micarta Elementum you showed here. But my favorite micarta is a Spyderco Calypso Jr. from the early 90's. Used as a money clip and got through every airport checkpoint back in the day. But that was then. Not sure you can a nail file on now. Oh, and by the way, JUMBO!!!

      You bet Phil. I got mine from Amazon amzn.to/38eZYNw. I also see that Blade HQ has them in stock too www.bladehq.com/item--CIVIVI-Elementum-Liner-Lock-Knife--104242

    My Penguin did drop shut out of box. After breaking in, it was fall shut. Elementums are also hit or miss when it comes to action. I got one that was grainy and one that was drop shut. I have the small Feldspar micarta on my BladeHQ wishlist. Thanks for the great content! 👍🏽🔪

    • @TheKnifeBeater
      @TheKnifeBeater  4 года назад

      Thank you Jcruzr. I agree about the Elementum's action, which is probably why I'm not head over heels for them. I hope you're able to get the mini micarta Feldspar because there are a ton of people waiting for that release. I guess I'll just have to stay awake the next couple days.

    I wear an xl glove so many of the mini knives become 3 finger grip. I think if a company is going to do a mini version they should be required to release a jumbo version as well imo. Good top 5 budget Micarta knived.

    Don't know if you got to snag one of the jade Elementums, but they look on another level. S35VN blade, with a bladestock of .10 instead of .12 and seems to have even more milling.

  • @timbo4374
    @timbo4374 4 года назад

    Lots of good picks there Jay. I'm more of a jumbo guy than a mini guy, so the longer blades suit me more than the smaller ones like the Elementum. Still all good ones however, as I when I go downtown, they have a 3" limit, so I do still buy smaller blades from time to time.
