Nice man. I been waiting for this one. Grate job my man.

Dude been hoping for this!!!!

Jake.... your killing me. Been trying to get both of these with no luck.

Great comparison. Inspires me to do some of my own.

I really want an Axon, but I got very lucky and scored a Yeager M. I got the KnifeJoy exclusive in Damasteel. Love it, carry it every day. Paid the KnifeJoy price, which wasn’t bad, considering the Damasteel. Worth every penny.

Was hoping someone would make this comparison!

Love the shoutout! :) those clips really detract from the Vero's. The knives are well made, the designs are good, they're fun knives! But those clips.....

I’m with you on the inlays. I want the ODG one but I’m gonna have to hold out for the new drop in July.

Don't own either but they both look fantastic. Thanks

Interestingly I scored a Yeager recently. It's a great knife now my EDC.

I would really be `hard pressed’ to pick a winner between these knives. A clip `facelift’ on the Axon would make this a dead tie between the two and, as stated I really couldn’t pick a winner. The inlay on the Yeager is really nice and that sets it apart from the Axon but, that’s why I’d like to own the pair 😄 great vid Jake, thanks 👍😀

That’s crazy that the bottom has fell out the price of these knives(secondary). The vero axon you can get right now on secondary 275.

Do you remember what size Skiff bearings you used on the Axon?

Great combo but out of my price range. Great video.

How did you do that clip? I have a extra one I’d like to try that finish on

I’ve got a knifejoy pvd Yeager and a frame lock axon. For me the axon wins in ergos but I have big meaty claws lol. Their both keepers for me personally especially where you can’t get either currently

Great video they are out my budget right now, however I really want an axon anyway I will have to stay with my sheepdog non flipper for a while 🤷🏻‍♂️

This knive no complain ...same same best ... Micarta handle so good grip 👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Great review. Cant quibble with anything said. This might finally be the start of the vero bubble bursting (which, come on, was bound to happen soon).

Wish I could get a Yeager! Have u reviewed the Iron Pup yet? If not please do.

I paid 390 and 400 for a brass Axon liner lock and a frame lock! Last week both brand new! I might have got lucky I am selling the liner cause it sucks! Framelock is so so but will probably sell it as well!

Hi man. Very good comparison. What’s your thoughts on the next Axon? Do think it’s gonna be pretty much the same to the one you sold?

Good showdown. The one area I disagree is the carry. Ughhh the Yeager clip is so bad on actual carry. Nearly ruins it. The axon clip is not the best but it’s fine and slides in and out for me. Ultimately the lower starting price for the Axon (when available regularly) is also a win for it. Otherwise, I love the Yeager more for the reasons you cite. Although I like the lines and design of the axon more than the slightly odd swoop on the back of the Yeager (which doesn’t affect the functioning or anything whatsoever).

Ove both of these and I have never handled the Yeager but I think this was a good comparison. I think the Yeager is the clear winner.

Is there not someone making an aftermarket clip for the Vero models? Seems like a smart move for someone who makes scales and stuff... Cerberus?

Hey Jake I’m in the market for a reate k2 tanto do you know where I can grab one???

Damn you just saved me 280 bucks!!!

Fatality 🔪⚔️🩸 Yeager Wins!

Hey Jake! Always love your videos, and I agree with your reasoning and conclusion here each step of the way. Both great knives, no real need for both, and the Yeager wins out. And I know, I know, I know -- suuuuuuper pedantic, I'm sorry 🙄 -- but you have "Wharncliffe" and "sheepsfoot" backward. Like at 8:35, you said the Axon (which has a gently downward-sloping spine and a sloped front) was "more sheepsfoot-y" and the Yeager (which has a straight, almost-parallel spine and a steeper decline) "more Wharncliffe-y", and it's actually the exact opposite. Neither is a "true" Wharncliffe, of course, as those don't have any transition point at all and just follow a single taper from base to tip. There's a pretty solid blog post on the history of the Wharncliffe and what makes the different shapes different over at Knife Depot: blog.knife-depot.com/history-of-the-wharncliffe-blade/. (Their entire blog seems to have _just_ gone down recently, so here's google's cache: webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Xi691VC1mf8J:blog.knife-depot.com/history-of-the-wharncliffe-blade/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) Anyway, thanks for another great side-by-side, and apologies again for being obnoxious. 😂

Except reate qc sucks. I’ve had so many reates that have a tooth at the choil

Great videos very well done - But-Whomever told you that's a self defense knife would be playing a practical joke on you. That in no way is a factual statement- in fact just the opposite- that being said most who teach self defense would highly encourage you never to use a knife . Learn some self defense - BJJ - some wrestling, kickboxing MMA. You very quickly realize a knife is not a healthy option for self defense. But just got the BBY looking forward to getting it. just sold Vero.

Great review. But as one who owns both, the quality, aesthetics and beauty of a Vero End Cut Carbon fiber Axon is simply superior to the Yeager. You viewers go online and examine both, various photos. Trust your instincts. You’ll see.

BB blows the V out of the water!

First!
