Pairing a knife with a multitool is a classic EDC combo, but the requirements change based on everyday needs. Plus, David settles the sheepsfoot and wharncliffe definition, revisits knives as heirlooms, and what happened to Cold Steel’s legendary CarbonV Steel.

As I have gotten older, I understand why my grandfather carried a smaller knife . I know carry a Buck 55, Fisher space pen in a Hitch and Timber wallet. I love having everything I need in a small compact package. A bonus, it is all USA made.

As an electrician I carry a skeletool cx everyday. Would highly recommend to anyone who works in a trade. One handed open and closing knife no need for a dedicated knife as it is one. Screwdriver is a must for me, pliers and wire cutter comes in handy regularly as well. Without the extra bulk and weight of a full multi with a bunch of tools I wouldnt ever use.

I’m a landscaper and a skeletool is great for me because it’s in a small package. I only really use the pliers for when my pruners or loppers need to be tightened. I carry another knife or two already but the screwdriver comes in handy sometimes for sure.

I worked as a multi-craft technician in industrial maintenance. My first rule was that I didn't loan my knife, period. Need a blade? Here, use the Leatherman one. That said, I carried a gold class 941 with an M4 blade. I used it A LOT and kept it very sharp. It held a long edge. I also carried a Leatherman Charge Ti and bit set & ratcheting extension. This I did for many years and had no reason to change. In retirement I can't part from my EDC kit, but upgraded to a small Sebenza w/Magnacut and Micarda, a gift to myself that I'm really enjoying.

The most underrated tool on a Swiss army knife is the *corkscrew.* Nobody uses it, but it's absolutely amazing for untying knots! So much rope and chord can be saved by not cutting a knot that is impossible to untie, because with a corkscrew it becomes REALLY easy to untie any knot.

If you are looking at heavy multitools, the Gerber Dual Force has some appealing features. As mentioned, a Skeletool CX has a decent knife and doesn't require suspenders to carry. No love for an Opinel outdoors? The Rangergrip? Easy to sharpen, cut great... Also I've noticed there isn't much attention paid to the more nautical end of outdoors pursuits despite some knives from Sypderco that will at least survive the environment. Filet knives get a little attention from a few makers, rigging knives don't seem to have changed in 50 years (aside from 2 options from Victorinox), and reviews in these areas are rare. Also the Victorinox handyman is not a bad balance of weigh, bulk, and utility to go with a dedicated knife.

DCA. You had an example of a knife that works well in the trades on the table. The mariners knife with the marlinespike. The problem with that one in particular is it is made by Schrade. I've been in the trades my whole life and I used to have a Buck made marlinespike knife that lasted much longer than the Schrade. Marlinespike can be used to untie knots and break loose shackle pins, which is very useful around crane operations. The marlinespike also serves as your pocket clip. It would be nice to have a manufacturer build a quality mariners knife with premium steel and construction that would hold up to a tradesman use.

As an ex-soldier, my woods/hunting carry was a Kabar, and a Victorinox Camper that did most of my slicing (the Camper has an excellent saw blade, excellent can opener, and corkscrew). A space blanket, magnesium fire starter, small sharpening rod, and needlenose pliers, were in a small kit. No, no multitool.

My tradie blade that I think is a stronger contender than those presented: Cold Steel Recon 1 mini tanto. Triad lock, more comfortable than Air Lite and slim in pocket, 3" blade in Aus-10A that's decent enough while being easy to sharpen, hollow grind makes up for stout blade thickness and a BRILLIANT chisel tip. It's covered a ton of ground for me including chiselling out hinge pockets when I needed to hang a new door and didn't have any other tools handy.

Keep up the great videos. Just a quick note, I'm a huge super tinker fan, carried one for years, but other considerations I'd suggest: For urban EDC Victorinox compact (I paired one of these up with a spiderco tenacious and a leatherman sidekick for my wife) and the Victorinox pioneer X alox (specifically the x for the scissors) is a honourable mention (the alox models have thicker tools than the standard).

Over the years, my EDC has evolved into a fixed blade and 1-2 complementary multitools or SAKs. Currently I go with a TOPS CUT 4.0, Skeletool CX (pliers used more than scissors by me) and a victorinox rambler. This is in my own country of course. When I travel abroad (especially Europe) for work, i usually just carry a Victorinox pioneer X. Easy to obtain, non controversial.

Sharon Steel was in the town of Sharon, PA. My grandfather worked for them. I have a folding knife (can't remember the brand or steel right now) that I wrote my name on the back of the leather sheath in marker when I was around 5 or 6 years old. The employees were told that steel from their factory was used in that specific model knife. I think that qualifies it as a heirloom....

I’ve been thinking about my every day carry knives and gotten a little bored with my Spyderco that I’ve carried for years and years. I recently added a Victorinox Rambler to my keychain and I so love it. I’ve been looking for a sub-3” blade folder and really enjoying all of your KnifeCenter videos. I really like the look of the Civivi Elementum and it seems to perform well. I had one sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for days. But, today, I went on the Knife Center website and found the brown micarta version steeply discounted. Even with shipping, it was still $17 less than Amazon. Next, I’m thinking about a multi-tool to keep in my day pack and thinking of a larger Swiss Army Knife to round out any situations I might encounter. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks kindly for all the knowledge and wisdom ya’ll share!

Hello Knife Center, I almost couldn't agree more with your pairings, but have a couple differences that I think are worth considering. For the multitool, the Victorinox Rangergrip 78 gives a larger saw and when carried in the pocket is very useful as the primary go to EDC blade, adding a neck knife like the Condor Otzi, gives that smaller but not too small stronger edc knife with the strength of not being a folder (it has a blade shape and size comparably quite similar to the Banter), for the 4 in fixed, I carry either a Condor Bushlore/Aqualore/Cavelore or a Mora Garburg (though the Kansbol does a superb job of meeting that need)... That said, I was wondering which 'Survival' knife (in the 7-9in range) would you recommend as the best fit to be a fourth knife when the three knives mentioned above are also being carried? Thank you, and if you don't answer this question in a FAQs, would you please answer in a comment, as this is the question I'm asking myself for my next knife purchase.

I have just bought a Real Steel Scandi grind knife,purchased by accident. It is the sharpest knife I have ever owned but the blade and grind leave me wondering what its main uses are.I know it is a bush craft knife but I don't know what that means. Can you help out?

Ok I love all SA knives. With that said I don't see why they still make the tinker. The addition of the scissors on the super rendered the standard tinker obsolete.

DCA, could you please help with finding a classic knife with a modern touch, such as the CRKT Ken Onion Redemption, the Terrain 365 Otter or any Jack Wolf. Living in Canada our selection is a bit more limited but the prices are substantially more. For instance the Gunslinger Jack s90v with Nebula Fat Carbon is $349.99us ($476.88ca) from Knife Center but is $524.99ca at Blades Canada. I would like to keep the cost $300.00ca or less. Any help is appreciated and I understand premium materials have a premium price. I look forward to the videos like a favorite tv show. Shout out to Thomas.

Quality should not be a aspect of heirloom knives.
@decotYT

The point he was making was that a consumable item by nature is not something that should be classified as an heirloom. Would you call a pencil that eventually runs out of lead, an heirloom pencil even if it was encased in the fanciest of wood and plated with gold? Even though knives might have a much longer life span, if you keep sharpening them as you use them (just as you sharpen a pencil as you use it), is that limited lifespan on utility truly an heirloom item? That's why his point is that an item with a limited amount of utility may be of "heirloom quality" even if it fails to qualify as an heirloom.

I understand your point of view. I own several knives that I consider heirlooms, I'm the 4th generation to possess them and they will be passed on to either my children or perhaps my grandchildren. Are these considered heirlooms, I think so.

David, you are still wrong in defining outright what something is by definition. You are correct to say that: "...in my mind..." and have your own personal opinion. However, in offering publicly stated definition outright, Merriam Webster's gives a definition of "Heirloom" as "something of special value handed down from one generation to another" which means a knife could be an heirloom knife.
