Do you watch Youtube videos when thinking about buying a new knife

I was just wondering if there is anyone out there like me who watches a lot of Youtube knife videos. When I first start to consider a new kniife to purchase one of the first things I do is to watch every video on that particular knife to see what other people have to say about it. I think you can le...

I have all the knives mentioned and if I was going to pick one for outdoor use and not for every day carry it would definitely be the Manix 2 XL. This in my opinion is the best knife made not only by Spyderco but any knife manufacturer for the money.

You must be sick. One of those is as good a value as a knife costing twice as much anyway so you won't be out that much. If you do find the other one you can always send it to Tuffthumz or someone and have it customized.

As I was reading your post I was thinking of an all stainless Dragonfly with plain edge. A cross between a tank and a Rolex watch these little gems are very engraveable either on the blade or handle. Also, if he didn't want to carry it on a clip this knife blends in well with your change or is perfe...

I don't like the hollow grind either. I would say you will be just as satisfied with any of the flat grinds as you will another.

Love this knife. Mine came in last week along with four more Spyderco's. The lum chinese with carbon fiber, PPT, Sage one and Sage two. Even though some of the others cost twice as much I find myself getting the Translucent Blue Manix out of the safe to play with more than any of the others.

I just don't like anything about the GB . I had the opportunity to handle one at SMKW a few weeks ago and almost cut myself accidentally. It has no choil area and the edge is right there at your finger .I hate to think what would happen if you had an accidental closure.Also it is too slick and strai...

I really like the Paramilitary. I have two of the militarys that I wish I could replace with Paramilitarys. The Military is really too big and the tip down only carry makes it one I should have left off but hind sight is 20/20 as they say. The Para on the other hand is wonderful.

I would say that unless you have fire proof theft proof gun safe to store the pelican case inside of that you should invest in the gun safe first. Then install some type of dehydrator system. I just buy the closet dehydrators from Dollar General etc. that have the desicant crystals in the top and tr...

The Tenacious is one of my favorite paterns by Spyderco. I think it's about as close as you can get to the perfect knife. I wish they would make the Tenacious in a premium steel like S30V or VG10. Everything else is already there and all you would have to do is drop in a different blade.

I have two Bushmasters and they are fine guns. You'll want two. One in the G4 format and another one a little heavier in flat top for scope mounting. However if you want only one get the removable carrying handle/sight model that you can mount a scope on. I think Remington bought out Bushmaster so e...

I like some of his custom knives and the knives like the Haddock that he designed for Boker but I don't care for the Zulu. Recurve blades are almost impossible to sharpen with anything especially one as pronounced as this one.
