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
I've watched a few of your videos and love them!!! Your videos give a lot of life to reviews where in others I've seen are boring. Thank you for the time you put into all this for the every day knife nut!
I have a crkt folding razel with micaela scales and absolutely love them, the knife blade not so much but these scales gave me a jumbo itching for more!
Enough of this mumbo JUMBO, I need to get a CJRB in my collection. P.S., I appreciate you keeping your vids moving along without extra nonsense like some RUclipsrs.
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.
Man when I started collecting knives my wallet went from "jumbo" to skinny ! Haha, never had micarta scale before definitely want to check some out. Great vids
Yes! One of my absolute favorites on the list! The Asus! I know its got a jumbo pocket clip, but the way it attaches to pommel end makes it a winner for me. Same reason why I love my sere 2000. The only knives I have with micarta are all fixed blades from esee, and my Asus. Really need to up my folder micarta game!
@@TheKnifeBeater My sere is just the black one unfortunately. Bought it well after the closure of Al Mar Japanese produced knives and the price was just right on it. Definitely curious about the new SOG ultra xr, it has a deep carry money/pocket clip that looks quite interesting to say the least.
The Mixer Pinch slipjoint is a favorite of mine, and I just picked up the Civivi Elementum in OD green micarta with the black stone wash blade. Ive been dancing around the Elementum for about a year until they came out with that one.
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
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.
Jay, I bought a QSP Penguin in jean micarta and d2 steel for 30 bucks from knives plus... got it a week ago and have had a few offers to buy it. I love it. I've neglected everything else for the last week. Get one if you haven't.
No micarta scales in my collection, but that QSP Penguin is getting added to my cart. My wife is going to think I’m a JUMBO pain in the butt with yet another knife-but I’ll just say you really sold me on it. As usual, great and informative video Jay. And have a happy, healthy and safe 4th!
I love micarta, but only own the elementum version you showed. It feels different than what I am after in a micarta. The CJRB Feldspar, I missed out one. I made micarta scales from a Carhart tee shirt for a cheap knife and gave it to my son, he loves it. I plan to do more soon, but I am having both knees replaced this summer and 5 days after the first knee right now. Come fall, I will get it going again.
Was thinking about getting one of the micarta shamans from the guys in Golden. Well, if they'd ever stay in stock... Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on them releasing the Yo Jumbo?
I don't have a lot of micarta yet, but my very first and still favorite modern/non-traditional folder was the SOG Kiku XR with its linen micarta scales. The CRKT Minimalist has great micarta handles on most of its blade varieties too.
My favorite micarta knife is my esee 5. It's a real jumbo sized monster! Thanks for the great video Jay. That Ausus really caught my eye, for some reason I even like the giant clip and the blocky handle. I just thought it was a good looking design, and now I have to go spend some money on one!
My pleasure Howard, it's the least I can do. I think you are making a great choice with the Elementum. Especially now, since Blade HQ has some models in stock, but they won't be there long.
I just received the hazel micarta Hooligan for my birthday last week and I have to agree that the action is a little stiff, especially compared to my Elementum. However, sometimes the added wrist action just scratches my jumbo fidgety needs and the blade shape/performance is so sweet!
I recently got Joker NN125. It is a decent backlock. Maybe wouldn't be anything special with other handle, but micarta for around 20 dollars was a good deal.
Nice list! And wow, that GAW! The feldspar!? If I'm one of the lucky ones I'm definitely hoping for the Jumbo, even if they're both stellar looking knives. Still didn't find one on this side, and I've been looking since your first review of it. Thanks for keeping that dream alive!
I do not have a cjrb, but would love the jumbo sized knife, all my knives are jumbo heavy duty knives for work in warehouse and trucking , rat 1, cara cara Byrd 2, salt 1, cold steel max scout, bareknuckle , i enjoy your videos dude, you seem to have a jumbo heart , keep up good work , thanks bud
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.
I love green Mikado to my favorite! You always do such a great job with these videos. I was wondering. One of my favorite knives, the fox core, has such an amazing action and it’s got a great blade except the finger child is too small. How hard would it be to open it up a little? What kind of attachment did you use on your Dremel?
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.
I have a jumbo sized micarta hole in my collection for knives with micarta. The only one I've got is a pm2 with rc bladeworks scales. That one is pretty nice though. I'm super glad I modded that one.
Long time collector (jumbo), but never had any micarta(jumbo). Looked at the kizer azo lieb the other day (jumbo) and like the compact size (jumbo). Blade is 2.39" N690 steel (jumbo) and price is $55 (jumbo). Oh and by the way jumbo, jumbo, jumbo, jumbo.
I dont have any micarta knives unfornately. Maybe one day I will get one.....JUMBO. my favorite knife however is the CJRB Agave in Aluminum. I have quite a few knives but this one always comes back into rotation. I cannot explain it is just made perfectly for my hand it's like it was made just for me. It might not be made out of high end materials but I love it more than my others that cost way more.
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.
Thanks for the video Jay. Don't have any micarta yet, but hopefully one of these days! I bet the Feldspar would be good at cutting up some jumbo shrimp!
Man that micarta Feldspar is gorgeous! You can keep your super steel carbon fiber fancy titanuum lock mumbo jumbo - give me a solid tool steel blade with Micarta scales any day of the week!
Hi Jay - Love your channel. Favorite knife channel for sure! You asked about favorite micarta scale knife. I would have to add my Gerber Paul 2PM ivory micarta knife. I have it somewhere in my collection. It was my first "fancy" knife. bought it around 1980. need to dig it up!
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!!!
I have the jumbo Feldspar in jade G10 and love it. I’ll get the micarta version should it ever get back in stock again! On a side note...where did you find the micarta Elementum for $50? Least I saw was $67. Thanks!
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
I really enjoy my jumbo Feldspar. It is an awesome knife. I also have the Penguin and I’m finding it a great worker. Thanks Jay! Hope you have a great 4th!!
Lucky enough to get the micarta feldspar and loving it. Also the tuya talisman in micarta. Got a qsp penguin on the way in denim micarta. When I first started collecting I ended up with a couple of enlans with micarta scales. I would love to have a jumbo collection of micarta scaled beauties but even at the budget level there are too many great knives and finite knife funds.
That's awesome you were able to snag the Micarta Feldspar, I still can't believe I got one. It seems like it's been a bit since I was this excited about a $50 knife.
So glad you like the Selkirk. I have a small Selkirk and had such high hopes for it. There blade centering is so poor that the blade hits the liner when closing. Such a disappointment. By the way, I'll send it to you if you would like to review it.
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.
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! 👍🏽🔪
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.
Hey Jay, thanks for the vids. I know its not a budget knife, but it is micarta and I know you've reviewed it. What do you think of the QSP Pelican? I'm looking for a hard(ish) use wharncliffe, cheers
I do like the Pelican, but the lockup is super early. it's a common issue I've heard from several people. The lock has never failed on me, but it does make me slightly nervous. Hope this helps Rab.
I have to get some micarta knives. I had one, but returned it as it wouldn't lock up. But, have a bunch on my list, at least now I do. You keep showing all these great budget knives, I will need to buy the blade hq jumbo roll to store them in.
@@TheKnifeBeater After watching this video, I decided I really needed a micarta knife. I ordered the new Kizer Junges. I just want to thank you for your "lefty love" code for White Mountain Knives. I ended up paying $57 total, for a knife that (after tax and shipping) I would have paid 75 for any where else. That is almost 20 dollars towards another knife, lol. So, thanks again.
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.
I have a very good friend that’s very interested in the elementum so I’ve been giving it a close look and I do like what I see… I know they’re hard to get but maybe one of these days I’ll be able to get one… Great review as always keep them coming
Thanks for doing this! i've been wanting exactly this video forever. so i finally bought the cheapest micarta scale knife i could find on blade hq, which was the Browning Wihongi, but it won't even lock up lol. I wouldn't say that it was a jumbo error of mine, but I wanted to see what the cheapest micarta folding knife was like.
The only knife I currently have with micarta scales is an ESEE Laser Strike and I love it. I might have to chase one of the micarta mini Feldspars because I have a jumbo knife problem.
Great list as usual, Jay! I have a QSP Penguin from Drop coming at some point. I really want to get the micarta Feldspar but the jumbo sized one is out of stock at the moment and the small one hasn't dropped yet.
I got my first micarta knife the othe other day. Its the kizer sheepdog xl, and the micarta feels great in the hand, but pulling it out of my pocket is almost impossible because of the micarta gripping my pants. Is this comon with micarta? Will the grippieness go away with time?
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
thank you!
I've never had the opportunity to feel micarta in my hands before! I'm sure it feels great in jumbo-sized mitts
Lol! Yes it does.
I've watched a few of your videos and love them!!! Your videos give a lot of life to reviews where in others I've seen are boring. Thank you for the time you put into all this for the every day knife nut!
I have a crkt folding razel with micaela scales and absolutely love them, the knife blade not so much but these scales gave me a jumbo itching for more!
Nice wordplay Tim.
I just bought the olive green micarta Elementum. Just got it today. Love it so far.
Columbo Jumbo Gumbo. Thanks. Love your videos
Our micarta elementum is our most drop shutty smoothest one also. 👍
Maybe there is something about that version which makes it have good action.
Enough of this mumbo JUMBO, I need to get a CJRB in my collection. P.S., I appreciate you keeping your vids moving along without extra nonsense like some RUclipsrs.
The the Kicker with its new recoil lock
Thank you much James. There are a few CJRB's I'd like to try.
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.
Man when I started collecting knives my wallet went from "jumbo" to skinny ! Haha, never had micarta scale before definitely want to check some out. Great vids
Lol. I hear ya WC. Thank you.
I've got a Rough Ryder stockman with green micarta that's in my pocket everyday nomater what else I'm carrying.
I hear ya William, that green Micarta does look nice. Thank you
But is it a JUMBO stockman? :)
very nice I love rough ryder
Yes! One of my absolute favorites on the list! The Asus! I know its got a jumbo pocket clip, but the way it attaches to pommel end makes it a winner for me. Same reason why I love my sere 2000. The only knives I have with micarta are all fixed blades from esee, and my Asus. Really need to up my folder micarta game!
I've noticed SOG knives use that type of clip too. I do like the camo scales on the Sere.
@@TheKnifeBeater My sere is just the black one unfortunately. Bought it well after the closure of Al Mar Japanese produced knives and the price was just right on it. Definitely curious about the new SOG ultra xr, it has a deep carry money/pocket clip that looks quite interesting to say the least.
The Mixer Pinch slipjoint is a favorite of mine, and I just picked up the Civivi Elementum in OD green micarta with the black stone wash blade. Ive been dancing around the Elementum for about a year until they came out with that one.
Yep, I have the very same as you with the S35VN blade. Thanks Philip.

Thank you Larry!
Was thinking about getting one of the micarta shamans from the guys in Golden. Well, if they'd ever stay in stock... Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on them releasing the Yo Jumbo?
I agree, the Shaman does look nice with Micarta.
Got a jumbo smile on my face when I saw you dropped another video. Always a good time. Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.
Nice of you to say Pat, thank you.

I should have tossed a couple fixed blades on the list. That Ausus is a nice versatile work knife at a pretty good price. Thank you David.
I agree with feldspar in #1 spot!! My edc is a small feldspar with the jade scales. Never have handled the jumbo size feldspar.
Thank you John.
Thanks, Jay! And thanks for the additional KB stickers! The Civivi Elementum may have to be my first Civivi knife! I like it! Stay vigilant!
My pleasure Howard, it's the least I can do. I think you are making a great choice with the Elementum. Especially now, since Blade HQ has some models in stock, but they won't be there long.

You're absolutely right, that is a good deal.
Nice selection, Jay! These lists are awesome.
Glad you like them Ramon. Thanks for stoppin' by, nice to hear from ya.
Hey Jay Can you do a review on the kershaw tumbler I haven’t seen one from you yet love your channel keep up the good work jumbo 👍🏻
Yes! I actually just got one about a week ago. Thanks Mike.
Thank you Jay for this jumbo Micarta episode. Those are some pretty sharp looking knifes ;)
Thank you Mark.
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.
That's a good one to have Denny.
I carry a cutty little Candiru w/ micarta too - it's definitely not a jumbo jammer , but it's quite capable & quick!
Lol. 👍
Nice man love the top 5 always really like your top knife videos!
I appreciate it Anthony.
The only micarta knife I own is an old no name slip joint, but I do have a couple custom micarta slingshots. Yea I know, I'm a jumbo nerd
No way! Those sound pretty cool. I had no idea Micarta slingshots existed.
@@TheKnifeBeater Heck yeah, you can spend as much on a hand made slingshot as you can a knife
Great score on that micarta Feldspar. Extra jumbo good luck, subs!
Thanks Fubar! Yeah, I was kinda lucky, which usually doesn't happen often for me.
Nice list! And wow, that GAW! The feldspar!? If I'm one of the lucky ones I'm definitely hoping for the Jumbo, even if they're both stellar looking knives. Still didn't find one on this side, and I've been looking since your first review of it. Thanks for keeping that dream alive!
Thank you Roel.
I do not have a cjrb, but would love the jumbo sized knife, all my knives are jumbo heavy duty knives for work in warehouse and trucking , rat 1, cara cara Byrd 2, salt 1, cold steel max scout, bareknuckle , i enjoy your videos dude, you seem to have a jumbo heart , keep up good work , thanks bud
Thank you! Very nice of you to say.

Yeah, I know what you mean Tin Man.
Hi Jay I very much enjoy your reviews which make me feel every knife shown is a Jumbo deal to buy and can’t miss it.
Good wordplay, thank you!
I love green Mikado to my favorite! You always do such a great job with these videos. I was wondering. One of my favorite knives, the fox core, has such an amazing action and it’s got a great blade except the finger child is too small. How hard would it be to open it up a little? What kind of attachment did you use on your Dremel?
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.
Very interesting, I didn't know that about the 1st batch being rushed. Thank you for the info!
I have a jumbo sized micarta hole in my collection for knives with micarta. The only one I've got is a pm2 with rc bladeworks scales. That one is pretty nice though. I'm super glad I modded that one.
Very nice! I'll bet that PM2 looks awesome in Micarta.
well i love jumbo shrimp and i could use the jumbo cjrb to cut them up
Lol! Very good Sean.
Good examples of Micarta handles are found in several models of MUELA folders (Argamasilla de Calatrava, C. R., Spain)
I have a QSP Denim and Benchmade Proper Green Micarta , what a Jumbo set of knives I have
👍
Long time collector (jumbo), but never had any micarta(jumbo). Looked at the kizer azo lieb the other day (jumbo) and like the compact size (jumbo). Blade is 2.39" N690 steel (jumbo) and price is $55 (jumbo). Oh and by the way jumbo, jumbo, jumbo, jumbo.
Lol! Well done Stewart.
Real steel gslip in micarta, loooove that knive
That's a nice one Cody.
I dont have any micarta knives unfornately. Maybe one day I will get one.....JUMBO. my favorite knife however is the CJRB Agave in Aluminum. I have quite a few knives but this one always comes back into rotation. I cannot explain it is just made perfectly for my hand it's like it was made just for me. It might not be made out of high end materials but I love it more than my others that cost way more.
Yeah, the Agave has caught my eye a few times.
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.
Thanks so much Rick. You and those jumbo mitts.
Thanks for the video Jay. Don't have any micarta yet, but hopefully one of these days! I bet the Feldspar would be good at cutting up some jumbo shrimp!
Yes it is.
Man that micarta Feldspar is gorgeous! You can keep your super steel carbon fiber fancy titanuum lock mumbo jumbo - give me a solid tool steel blade with Micarta scales any day of the week!
Lol. I know what you mean because sometimes I feel the same way.
Recently I want to explore my carry options and I am all in for a jumbo knives size carry.
Thank you Pappa Rich.
Hi Jay -
Love your channel. Favorite knife channel for sure! You asked about favorite micarta scale knife. I would have to add my Gerber Paul 2PM ivory micarta knife. I have it somewhere in my collection. It was my first "fancy" knife. bought it around 1980. need to dig it up!
Thank you Rich! Yeah, that Gerber Paul is a beauty. I would love to add one to the collection someday.
Thanks for the great jumbo recommendations bro. Appreciate it.
No problem 👍
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!!!
Very nice vintage Spyderco Jack.
I have the jumbo Feldspar in jade G10 and love it. I’ll get the micarta version should it ever get back in stock again! On a side note...where did you find the micarta Elementum for $50? Least I saw was $67. Thanks!
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
Hi J. I only have one micarta knife. It's a GEC boy's knife number 15 in green micarta and it's tiny, nothing jumbo about it.
That's a nice little knife you got there Gilad.
Great video! That Statgear Ausus really caught my attention. I might have to order one to fill my jumbo knife addition.
Thank you Lei Xie! Yeah, it's a good one.
I really enjoy my jumbo Feldspar. It is an awesome knife. I also have the Penguin and I’m finding it a great worker. Thanks Jay! Hope you have a great 4th!!
Same to you Scott, thank you.
Lucky enough to get the micarta feldspar and loving it. Also the tuya talisman in micarta. Got a qsp penguin on the way in denim micarta. When I first started collecting I ended up with a couple of enlans with micarta scales. I would love to have a jumbo collection of micarta scaled beauties but even at the budget level there are too many great knives and finite knife funds.
That's awesome you were able to snag the Micarta Feldspar, I still can't believe I got one. It seems like it's been a bit since I was this excited about a $50 knife.
How does the micarta feel on that jumbo Feldspar? I haven't had any micarta from the budget brands yet, and I'm worried they might be too slick.
On the Feldspar, it feels pretty good with a fair amount of traction.
Hey Jay i just bought a Victorinox outdoor master with micarta handle but i could have used a Feldspar to cut up my Jumbo Hotdog.
Lol. Good one Bill.
That jumbo imperial probe droid intro is pretty cool!
Thank you for noticing. I wanted to have a somewhat unique intro.
I think the spyderco dragonfly is a sweet design. I wonder if spyderco will make a jumbo size dragonfly.
That would be awesome.
Thank you for the no nonsense reviews. After every review I have the urge to run out and buy all the knives featured.
Lol. You are very welcome.
Love your channel! Keep up the good work brother! 👍👍
So glad you like the Selkirk. I have a small Selkirk and had such high hopes for it.
There blade centering is so poor that the blade hits the liner when closing. Such a disappointment. By the way, I'll send it to you if you would like to review it.
Thanks for the offer. I had a small Selkirk myself, but got rid of it for the same reason.
I am super Jumbo stoked to see another great knifebeater video
Thanks Dustin, appreciate it.
The small feldspar is one of my favorite EDC knives... But I have XXL hands, would love to get my jumbo mitts on the larger version and give it a try!
Lol. Nice one Rich.
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.
No, not yet, but I sure hope to.
I'm just a schmo looking for a jumbo blade. I tried to buy the CJRB Feldspar, but I moved too slow. I guess I will stay ghetto and wait a bit longer.
Lol. The mini will soon be available in Micarta as well.
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! 👍🏽🔪
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 love shrimp cumbo, an really love a jumbo knife
Yeah Jay I need a folder with micarta . Really only thought about em on fixed blades. Enjoyed the video , now gotta get a cup of jumbo.
Lol. Yeah, I should of added a fixed blade or two to the list.
Hey Jay, thanks for the vids.
I know its not a budget knife, but it is micarta and I know you've reviewed it. What do you think of the QSP Pelican? I'm looking for a hard(ish) use wharncliffe, cheers
I do like the Pelican, but the lockup is super early. it's a common issue I've heard from several people. The lock has never failed on me, but it does make me slightly nervous. Hope this helps Rab.
@@TheKnifeBeater thanks man 🍻
I have a Spyderco, a few bikers, never have owned one with micarta scales. But I really miss my jumbo boker top lock.
Nope. Jumbo mistake here
Micarta is a nice handle material, you might like it.
Jay, Love the videos keep up the good work! I would love to see your JUMBO collection.
Thank you Gleb. I really need to do a collection video.
Those Fieldspars are awesome!!! I horded 3!!!
Lol. I do the same thing. Whenever I find something I really like, I end up buying a bunch of them.
Great stuff, Jay!
Another great vid. I like that micarta Feldspar! Do you prefer the mini or jumbo feldspar?
Jumbo is the one for me.
Fantastic video jay!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Nate.
I have to get some micarta knives. I had one, but returned it as it wouldn't lock up. But, have a bunch on my list, at least now I do. You keep showing all these great budget knives, I will need to buy the blade hq jumbo roll to store them in.
Thanks Cheryl. Yeah, you are definitely gonna need that knife roll, lol.
@@TheKnifeBeater After watching this video, I decided I really needed a micarta knife. I ordered the new Kizer Junges. I just want to thank you for your "lefty love" code for White Mountain Knives. I ended up paying $57 total, for a knife that (after tax and shipping) I would have paid 75 for any where else. That is almost 20 dollars towards another knife, lol. So, thanks again.
Glad to hear that you're enjoying that micarta Feldspar! We should be getting the small ones to BladeHQ sometime soon.
Awesome to hear, thank you!
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.
Yeah, I have a couple I would love to see in Micarta. Thanks Rusty.
I have a very good friend that’s very interested in the elementum so I’ve been giving it a close look and I do like what I see… I know they’re hard to get but maybe one of these days I’ll be able to get one… Great review as always keep them coming
Thank you Jim. Actually, I saw Blade HQ has a bunch in stock.
I got my Sharpener this week have not had a chance to put a knife on it yet but I’m planning to do it Monday or Tuesday… Going to be interesting
Thanks for doing this! i've been wanting exactly this video forever. so i finally bought the cheapest micarta scale knife i could find on blade hq, which was the Browning Wihongi, but it won't even lock up lol. I wouldn't say that it was a jumbo error of mine, but I wanted to see what the cheapest micarta folding knife was like.
I'm sorry to hear your 1st micarta knife is a dud, that sucks. I know the micarta Elementum is currently in stock at blade hq as I type this.
Thanks for the video! It would be fun to watch on a jumbo -tron screen!
Lol! Consider it done Aaron.
I have a jumbo love for micarta! I have the buck 112 slim pro and elementum in micarta
Nice wordplay Justin.
Another good budget video. Thanks, your pal, Jumbo.
Lol. Thank you Spike.
The only knife I currently have with micarta scales is an ESEE Laser Strike and I love it. I might have to chase one of the micarta mini Feldspars because I have a jumbo knife problem.
Lol! I have that same problem Adam.
The jumbo feldspar is way cooler! If I reply to enough of the comments I may win something for once in my JUMBO LIFE! LOL
Great list as usual, Jay! I have a QSP Penguin from Drop coming at some point. I really want to get the micarta Feldspar but the jumbo sized one is out of stock at the moment and the small one hasn't dropped yet.
i know, i keep checking Blade HQ for the mini Feldspar too. If I see it for sale, I'll let you know. Thanks Christian.
@@TheKnifeBeater They only have the small one in stock right now (which I wanted). It arrives today!!
i have the same elementum, I recommend it as well.
Thanks RC.
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
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to keep knives on this list around $50.
Thanks for another jumbo opportunity!
You bet!
Great review, I really liked the boxy one (forget name), the one with the jumbo pocket clip. It looks great folded up, feels kinda mandalorian to me
Thanks Tyler. It's the StatGear Ausus.
I can’t wait to get my yo jumbo. Loving that Micarta feldspar.
I hear ya.
Thanks again for the great video Jay. I have Jumbo hands and I really hope that the CJRB fits the mitts, If I win it.
You bet Kevin, thank you.
I got my first micarta knife the othe other day. Its the kizer sheepdog xl, and the micarta feels great in the hand, but pulling it out of my pocket is almost impossible because of the micarta gripping my pants. Is this comon with micarta? Will the grippieness go away with time?
Another jumbo vid, thanks jay!
You bet Dud.
Love the videos just found your channel been watching a lot of them lately. And jumbo giveaways not many do that
Thank you Brett! Welcome to the channel, glad to have ya.
