My Favorite Fidget Knives from the Knife Collection.

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Perhaps one of the most important features for a modern pocket knife is to be fidget-able. Can you click it, can you flip it? In this overview of knives I have reviewed from my collection I discuss which knife locks are the best for click clacking. Are switchblades the best, or is it spyderco compression lock or Benchmade axis lock? In this video many cool knives are discussed and compared from high end autos, to interesting traditionals. You'll see blades from companies like Benchmade, Spyderco, Hawk Knives, Microtech, AKC, SOG, Protech, Sharp By Design, and Cold Steel. There's no balisongs, butterfly knives, gravity knives, but they're still pretty dope.

Potato batoning!!! Holy crap! There can be only one first.. Only one brave pioneer. You are the Neil Armstrong of potato batoning. Congratulations! I feel honored to have been witness to this milestone
😂 Agree wholeheartedly! Had to stop the video I was laughing so hard!
Yes, he's really gone up in my estimation.
The potato batoning was truly glorious.
I'm watching this in my high-school class laughing my ass off and my only excuse for the disruption is he's hitting a knife with a potato
"The buck 110 is the only fidget knife anyone needs!" (Uncle Randy) 🤷🏼♂️
I know right, like Randy Quaid in National Lampoon’s Vacation. 🤪
@@SimonRiley115 Haa! Harold and Kumar
This is true im Uncle Randy and I fuck Uncle Randys wife
I'm gonna say this just because, but the 110 is actually pretty good to fidget with if you have one that isn't overly tight. It has a good "pop" that also isn't too loud. Also, before anyone says anything about being an "old knife guy" I rotate my 110 with a ZT0456 and an Ontario RAT 1.
@@razgrizbird4562 lol.. it is kinda funny. Knives that aren't considered "fidgety" By most people have been knives I loved playing with.
This dude is like the knife communities Regular Car Reviews, and I fucking love it
Good job NOT trying to catch the falling knife. I was fidgeting with my Mini-Tempest ... dropped it ... and wound up in the ER with two grisly cuts and six stitches. Cat-like reflexes can be a problem. lol
*Puts on Fedora and slaps suspenders* I believe that you have overlooked the greatest fidget knife of them all! The Buck 110's glassy smooth textures and satisfying lock up make it infinitely "fidgetable" as you kids say nowadays. Plus it's useful grind and clip point make it far more useful than any of this new fangled stuff you've shown here. Yes sir, the Buck 110 is really a knife you can set your watch to! Plus taking the knife in and out of the button snap belt sheath it comes with adds another amazing layer of fidgeting! Yes sir, you really can't do any better. Nothing better than a bunch of steel, wood, and brass on your hip!
No hate to Buck 110 fans, I unironically love the knife as well!
This is a great video my man! And an awesome chance to check out some really cool knives! I'll be real honest and say that collecting and fidgeting is most of what I use my knives for haha. I'm sure my pioneer ancestors are ashamed of that, but I can't help that I just don't have to cut alot of stuff in 2022. Great video as always!
EDIT: HOLY CRAP I'M SO HAPPY YOUR SHARP BE DESIGN SURVIVED THE FALL! That's a pretty knife and it was hard to watch it tumble like that.
The Buck 112 Auto is suprisingly satisfying.
Holding my buck 110 when this video started....who hurt you!?
That was ground breaking! Batoning a potato, with a potato……you have just earned your oak belt sir.
This was a long vid, especially without featuring Zima, which is now owned by GSM. 🤣
GSM would buy zima
Mean nasty comment for the Algorithm.
I'm an actual Old Soul from suburban St. Paul, and although I'm not given to fidgeting with my knives (fidgeting behavior was aggressively suppressed in my day), I still dig your groovy, gnarly vids, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro!
Stop shaking your knee young man!
Loved the batoning potatoes! Thanks for the video AKB!
I love your videos bro. Always get a good laugh, as well as solid info. Hope you and the family are all keeping well man!!!
Batoning with potatoes, u really set the bar high with that one! Always impressed with your writing, such as "not normally impressed with non-flatulate sounds," and analytic details most of us don't think of when reviewing these things. i felt your pain when you dropped that Void XL. Nice diverse collection of fidgets. Always a pleasure the watch!
@ the 18 minute mark, that looks like Zakk Wylde's signature guitar paint scheme ~ love it
Batoning that potato with another potato was definitely the peak of your RUclips career
That beautifully strange Caribbean just won’t die.
Awesome sense of humor man, instant follow
i love that this video exists, you are a gentleman and a knife bro
SOG XR Terminus is my favorite fidget knife. The D2 steel version is just as fidgety as the expensive steels. XR is the name of the lock.
I just watched a guy baton a potato with another potato. I'm ashamed of my life.
I like how you summed up my conversations about benchmade with every reasonable person who owns one.
Watching you baton with a potato makes me realize I have not properly tested the true limits of my knives.
Once again the fact that the top choice is anything other than the Cold Steel Espada is outrageous
Espada XL get it right
@@mistrsynistr7644 only one that matters
@@theversacecowboy632 I miss the old cold steel videos from like 10 years ago...
Makers should be transparent and not hinder the dissemination of information about their expensive Instagram pocket jewellery. I'd add the Civivi McKenna and Baby Banter to the fidget friendly knives list.
Absolutely agreed!
Fking LOVE my McKenna
Yeah you wouldn't want you expensive knife to be all Rickity
First time watching your channel, pretty entertaining
Also, a couple one handed slipjoints I find super fun to fidget with is the Spyderco lil native and UKPK. The lil native is so fun and crisp but no half stop. UKPK has a nice half stop, but it's a lot mushier :(
Kizer Towser K is also a wonderful underrated budget drop shut fidget machine
Glad you are covering the important Potato Batoning performance.
Batoning a potato is the best thing I have seen this morning.
Finicky and Sensitive.....CoNFiRmEd LOL......you hooked me in the first couple of seconds!! I expect maximum sarcasm and dark humor on this one......
Great video. The slow-mo ninja moves at the end made me laugh out loud.
Thanks man!
This is the first video that I have seen on this channel and wow you are funny and actually dish out some meaningful reviews. Subscribing immediately. Keep up the great work man!
Potato batoning. This man is an innovator.
The Founding Fathers would be turnin' in their graves! If parsnip batonning was good enough fer them, it's good enough fer you!
Unless you are the kind of person who just enjoys flicking - I'm sorry, deploying - that one blade repeatedly like a brooding B-movie psycho (I don't judge), the best fidget knives are slipjoints. The drama! The suspense! Can I get that blade back without losing a digit by employing exactly the right pressure? You really have to know your knife.
In fact, I'll go further. The best fidget knife is a multi-blade slipjoint with finger nicks that are just slightly too small/too shallow/too far back. Try the decathlon of fidgeting!
You really didn't have to bring CRT's into this...
Sogging is when you do soaking so long it gets all pruney
Almost lost it when you buttoned the potato. And then did it again to make sure everyone got it. Wow. Hey I also have then NettleF. Love it….and skyline is from Cincinnati (🤣 just had to be that guy)
That guy already showed up. I’ll sum it up though- whether you think so or not, people outside of Ohio associate skyline with Ohio.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I have to special order it down here. Grew up in Indy.
My EDC knife is a LionSteel Myto Frame Lock Knife with the M390 steel blade, and It's pretty great for fidgeting with imo.
Hahaha that portion about SOG had my rolling!
The utter lack of butterfly knives, folding karambits, and katanas on this list is so disappointing. I would unsubscribe but what would that accomplish? Someone needs to be subscribed just to remind you you're enjoying bladed objects wrong.
Love your commentary, I'm in the process of building my own tiny corner of the knife community and just wanted to let you know it's refreshing to see someone else that doesnt do every single video in the top down view.. keep on keeping on
thanks patrons. Thanks bro, of the advanced knife variety. Those are some nice knives you've got there. My favorite fidgety knives are: Buck's 298 Sirus, pro-tech's Mordax, benchmade's 943, and the spyderco Advocate. Of course the buck 107 is also a nice fidget knife I like to use when I go fishing... even though it's a fixed blade knife, because of the sheath, it's fidgetable.
Love my Mordax
My fav grown mans toy is my Hogue Deka. I got the reverse-tanto-dual-grind-spacey-looking. Great EDC too.
OTFs are illegal here sadly. Would love to handle one though. Do the actually cut stuff or are they just for stabbing?
The answer is "it depends". If you base the answer on the fact that 90% of the Microtechs I see are all double edged, I'd say "stabby" is by design. However, if you look around a bit you can find single edged models that can be use for every day cutting tasks. I wouldn't baton with one...but them I'm not an Advanced Knife Bro.
I have a double edge microtech I just got. Its definitely for cutting as well as stabbing lol. Seriously. With a double edge you get twice the amount of cutting aha. Seriously I do use mine to cut stuff
Yes, they can be used as regular edc. My last one was a Microtech UTX85 single edge. In that configuration they are more useful as you can ride the spine to choke up or guide a precision cut at the tip. Most states that restrict them do so for CARRY, doesn't mean you can't use them at home or keep them in a collection. Try a Lightning, they're about $40 and will let you see if they are for you. Just don't expect a rock solid lockup. That doesn't exist in OTF world.
I love Winter Blade Co. So creative!
Did you baton potatoes? That is weirdly hilarious to me. I think that was weird enough to brighten up my day, a little bit. I am subscribing now.
Only one I liked from this was the factor !! Need one.
I was just thinking about using magnets as locks today and now I'm watching your channel for the first time and I'm blown away! Awesome knife and you're freaking hilarious!
Missed out on the in-stock Factor drop earlier today because of Shopify's dumb invalid shipping address error, but a new AKB video helps make things a little less sad.
Guess I'll go fidget with my Opinel or something.
Nothing like twirling that ring on the Opinel to soothe the pain of loss.
The Factor is off my list. All those magnets will mess with my pacemaker.
Dropping expensive knives! He's just like us!
People call him the Advanced Knife Bro...his friends call him Ol' Dagger Nips.
34th 🥇
The pain of discontinued cold steels is for reals. Thirsting for a broken skull, still kicking myself for not getting it when I saw one on sale.
Soooo I don't know much about knives but I do know a little about chili. Skyline chili is gravy... no-one but people who have never seen normal chili would think it is chili in any way....mind you I was taken to my first skyline restaurant after being told it was a Greek restaurant..it was not. Somewhere maybe a Greek owner opened one otherwise nope.
called out hinderer without calling out hinderer lol. justice for transparentknives
First of all What knife sharpening system do you use? Secondly you washed the potatoes , what did you make?
Just diced roasted potatoes in the air fryer
Tactical air fryer i hope
I think of not as "fidget factor" but as "deployment ease". Back when I did real work I didn't always have a consistent angle or position and a knife that could be opened easily or in different ways actually was an advantage.
Started exclusively carrying wave openers for this reason. Cold steels get surprisingly easy to close once you use them for a bit
What's real work? I mean, I did warehouse work, and handled bulk amounts of flooring for a while. I also have inspected X-ray machines. Which one is real? Both involve knives and measuring tape consistently.
OTF Nips . . . awesome!
Bad news: fingertips don't grow back.
Good news: no fingerprints = free to do crimes.
Great show! You're videos really help me sleep. Something to do with your sweet dulcet tones and you're subtle cries for help. It's like magic! My girlfriend says I fart and giggle in my sleep now. I'm also finding knives in bed with me in the morning for some reason... Did I mention I bought a two-handed axe even though I live in a condo?
Can't thank you enough for batoning a potato. That timeless bushcraft skill would otherwise be lost once we run out of trees (made into paper to visually explain that knives are sharp).
Also it's heartening to hear that things are still willing to be had sex with by that guy. There's probably a grammar mistake in there somewhere but it feels like it would somehow be worse to find and fix it. Thanks for the discussion on the fidget toyls.
Tell me you watch regular car reviews! Your delivery and tangents are just so funny (and yeah, are in the same spirit as his).
“Hate views” 😂
Cool video thanks.
Fellow Missouri Boy!
Drop-shut - emphasis on the drop
I super desperately want to get my hands on that magnetic knife. I’m gonna cry if I don’t get one on the drop.
Well did you cry or did you get one lol
@@zerostreakwindowcleaning4741 got the glitch over addresses not being valid at 8:02
i did. i cried. i make edc/knife tiktoks and i had so many vids planned
@@TheAdequateMedia damn. That sucks. I didn’t even try. It wasn’t one that really interested me.
@@zerostreakwindowcleaning4741 yeah i feel you. I built it up as something i'd get a good bit of content out of to be honest. nonetheless I'm definitely still interested, but I've gotten over the loss i guess.
More impressed at how amazingly Mr Winter's marketing strategy worked, they evaporated instantly
I just stumbled on this channel, im 4 minutes in, and he's my new favorite lol
Great video!
You were right the first time. They are kind of “toys”. If you can have fun with it, it’s a toy.
Nothing wrong with that no judgement. I’m a southpaw so I’m a total Spyderco fanboy.
They’re toys, shouldn’t have waffled. Or pocket jewelry
Recon I am a big SPYDERCO fan (for decades). Am also a lefty and discovered Benchmade axis locks years ago. Have 2 710s and an old Rukus large auto (no longer made). My favorite large SPYDERCO is a lefty liner lock that I snapped up the minute I saw it. Have wanted a Chris Reeve for years ,but they are a little out of my price range. Maybe someday.
@@bobstark4020 I’ve been EDC’n a Victorinox GAK for my job EMS transport. Everything I need nothing I don’t. And left hand liner lock. Plus affordable.
Interesting. Supposedly victorinox makes good knives.
you know you can close otf 2-handed, right?
Where's the part where you lick it and describe the taste and texture?
Fun fact, the neutral "newscaster" accent is closest to the accent found in south central ohio near the akron area according to linguists in the 90s
I don’t fidget with my knives tooooo often, but I will say that I prefer OTFs and folding knives with thumb studs (that have nice action / geometry)
But I DON’T like the axis lock. It doesn’t have the feel of crisp break and immediacy of a detent ball knife releasing on actuation. They have a sort of softer and gradual release. Not a fan of that.
And I prefer a liner lock or nested integral. Damn I guess I am picky lmao
I’m new to the knife collecting game and have pushed the boundaries of social decorum with my fidgeting. I’m winning though; my wife and kids have learned to tune it out. - Though not my favorite, my first Cold Steel, the Air Lite, surprised me with how fun it is to fidget with. (🏆 Sage 5 LW)
Heard you say “piece of shit”, had to sub right away. That covers such a wide spectrum of RUclips D-bags. Thank you.
You are a real knife badass doing the dual otf and compression lock knives. They should get you an award
I found myself batoning a carrot this weekend. Watching this video back I realise where I drew my inspiration from after I fell asleep after 6 mins of this video and only now watching the remainder. Thanks for that!
Thanks for coming back?
Sex with things. I tip my hat to a fellow gentleman.
spud batoning....nice.
i have a Crooked River Mini and that is al the knife i need.
Hey, I went to a "Lynn & The Meatboots" concert last weekend. Concert was beefy with a searing finish that sealed in the juicy goodness.🤣
Even though I often feel personally attacked while watching your videos, you're still the best and I aspire to be as good at being a smartass as you are. Seriously Bro, you're the best there is at this silly game.
I dunno. Pete @ Cedric and Ada is pretty close.
Careful on the potatoes, it can leave dark spots if you dont suck the juice off immediately.
I hear you on slip joints. My most fidgeted knives by far are lock backs. Spyderco Native 5 made me realize I’d rather fidget with a lock back than a compression lock or axis lock 🤷🏻♂️
Batoning through a potato won you a click of the like button from me.
You make me feel proud to be a Missourian
I don't like it!
Awesome video, brother 👍
The fidget god speaks.
More vegetable batoning!
i love all you're knives
Great work. At your age, to incorporate this much knowledge in such a humorous manner, shows a lot of talent. You’re a winner-keep up the great work. You’ll make a ton, eventually. Guaranteed.
Tell me why that void is worth it?
Its a fully custom knife. Low quantity, only one in this configuration.. I mean that's how custom knives work?
Baton those potatoes!
💪😎💪
The reate exo reigns supreme as the newest fidgetiest knife ever
Oh yeah i forgot to say I’ve held that one too
@@AdvancedKnifeBro its so addicting, much to my wife's dismay
Your favorite fidget knives...? How far from respected fo you want to be? To be really respected, you need a video titled favorite badass fighting knives, or for a million view video, Best Buck for your Buck!
The disrespectful tone!
13:38 He damaged a perfectly good brick with some knife. God I hate this channel.
I want to be best friends.
I have noticed ALMOST all the complaints you get on your videos are associated to commentary. You should try some silent films. Could be a hit…
Shabazz tried this once I think
good investment
*Tips Trilby Hat* "Sony Trinitron?" *scoffs* "I prefer Zenith Roundie's with the Sunshine™ CRT! I don't like the smoked safety glass RCA has & I'm not a fan of solid state!
_(sarcasm)
But on a serious note, 85CL gang gang. Love the video. If I hadn't went slipjoint crazy, I'd look at picking up a factor. Looks like a much more robust magnet system than my Spyderco T-MAG.
Dude I just subscribed and watching and you're mad funny! I'm diggin it‼ The price point is going to be a "factor" in buying one.😁 see what I did there? Thanks brother👍✌
Fun video. What’s that on the wrist there?
Think it’s the Hamilton Khaki seen in the last part of the Serge model two video I just did. Model number is in that vid.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro thanks. Bummed I passed on the model2, but c’est la vie. Maybe a khaki is in my future. Will look for your review if you get to it. Thanks for the response.
