We had ourselves a great year in 2022, and we’ve got the knives to prove it. From collecting more fixed blades to finding a new multitool, and of course filling out with our bread and butter EDCs. David wanted to find a big folder, and Seth bought MORE Spydercos. We can only imagine what the new year will bring.

Lol, when Seth said “If you buy a knife with the intention to modify it right away, it’s probably not the knife for you.” I let out an audible chuckle. I have skinny scales, ti deep carry clip, and ti backspacer for a shaman sitting in a drawer waiting for my shaman to get here. I don’t even plan on carrying it stock, it’s getting modded right out of the box. I just love modding knives and making them my own, particularly Spyderco’s. I own 5 Spyderco knives right now and only the Spydiechef stayed original.

I think thats from the standpoint of a person who normally doesn't mod their knives knowing they're going to have to mod them to fix a feature they don't like, not someone who just likes to mod everything to make it their own as a standard practice

12:25 “Dao” in Chinese is a literal translation to the word “knife”, much like “messer” is “knife” in German. However, as with messer, the definition is slightly different from the English word. Chinese dao is a single-edged cutting implement, spanning from kitchen knives, utility knives, to single-edged swords. A double-edged “sword” is called “Jian” for differentiation.

I have carried everything from Spyderco, to Benchmade, to Strider, to ZT. It wasn’t until a friend showed me his Cold Steel Voyager XL that I found the knife that I had been looking for all my life. It’s larger than average, but I have large hands and it feel like it belongs on my hand. I have one that I’ve been EDC for 3 years. I purchased two more to keep on the shelf in case I loose my EDC.

That ATS34 Nessmuk is the same as 154CM, I remember when the steel to get was the Japanese Aichi Tool Steel 34 and that was because Bob Loveless was having a hard time getting Crucible Steel's ball bearing steel 154CM, the designation stood for 15% Chromium, 4% Molybdenum Chromium Moly and was developed in the late 1950s for hot working jet engine ball bearings, the moly giving the hot work ability without tungsten which was in short supply. My first and last foray into an underground tungsten mine was in the Tungsten Hills near Bishop, CA. I made it to lunch and first elevator up, if that's what you would call that thing. Seems I don't like being underground in small tunnels.

Seth and DCA, over this year, I have found that I carry a fixed nearly every day. That being said, I do have a suggestion for you DCA. When I want a large folder, I reach for my Strider SMF every time. It is wildly comfortable, and the "snap" acoustics from the titanium frame lock and the aluminum show scale are spectacular! If you haven't tried a Jim Skelton fixed blade, they have become my true everyday knives. I am enamored with them. Merry Christmas all, enjoy your time with friends and family!

Happy New Year! Great stuff guys! One of my favorite go to carries in my collection is the KnifeCenter exclusive Bestech Swordfish with tuxedo handle and black S35VN blade. It's a perfect 4" folder.

My only disappointment was missing some drops on pieces I would have liked for my own. I’m glad to see the Presidio 2 on the table. It never gets the attention in Benchmade’s lineup like the Griptilian does. It’s a solid knife that’s been around a long time. And Behring Made makes some beautiful knives too. They have a steady output of knives each week. But if you see one you like, you better pull the trigger. They sell quickly.

@davidbaker6195 6 ай бұрын

definitely two knife geeks. i do have to say i appreciate the recognition of the brilliance of the Leatherman juice but then he made a comment about the best one they made(at least from a cabinet makers who uses sharp blades dozens of times a day) The purple one, whatever it's number has the pliers, saw, scissors(not as good as Victornox but not bad, and the best file on any multi tool I've ever come across. Diamond One side, rough bastard on other. He was going to chuck the file? I can't explain how great it is to have a file right on hand that can deal with a dull blade. Even if just for a temporary touch up before it's sharpened. Many years ago i realized that REI couldn't restock these 4 juice tools and thought I'd better get a spare purple diamond hone in case. Well, in case happened when i absentmindedly decided to escort my wife in to her flight. i took my Spyderco and keychain Victornox mini champ 2 off but forgot i had the juice on my belt. Tsa melted that down I'm sure. Now my basically brand new replacement sits in the bedstand but is still incredibly handy every once in a while. But I'd rather have it then lose another. My Swiss champs are in drawers where they can be really l readily reached for. I think Benchmark is over rated and my favorite edc has been my spyderco yojimbo for many years. It's supposed to be s 'fighting' knife but i use it in my woodshop for everything from box cutting to intricate carving. I suppose it's a bit heavy for most but the trade off is worth it. Just picked up an Artisan 3.5 inch cleaver and it's by far the best new blade for me in 23. Civivi is great but kind of a snooze. Bang for buck is Coast (yup) skinny ass founders series with the tanto blade. for under $50 it succeeds on every level and is better looking then it's crkt look alike ceo. So used to bigger blades the tanto feels like a toothpick in my pocket.
