Your comment about knife enthusiasts not buying good kitchen knives was interesting. I have liked knives as long as I can remember but I did not start collecting high quality knives until a few years ago.

I love these videos? DCA gets more screen time on my tv than anyone from Hollywood ! Just wanted to add a couple things-too bad the Leatherman Juice CS4 is no longer in production, it would add serious “juice” to Carlos’ blue hiking kit. That model only came in blue if I remember correctly-mine is, I’ve had it in my pocket so long it is no longer under warranty! Also, I’ve seriously wondered about the lack of super steel kitchen knives. I am a very hard user and mostly stay away from the latest, greatest steels, my edc is a Buck 110 and you will not ever convince me there is anything better (yes, I’ve owned a few $200+ knives). I like a blade that I can completely wreck during the day and fix while watching just one Knife FAQ! That said, I would love to have a Magnacut or 20CV kitchen knife! I think the kitchen is the perfect place forget about chipping and making edge retention king. Seems almost exactly opposite to me-put VG 10 on EDC knives and M4 in the kitchen! Also DCA, could you do a Knife FAQ that focuses more on the right knife steels for the job rather than whatever is in vogue? 420HC, 12c27, 14c28n, etc, are still really hard to beat in hard use, readily maintained steels. Also, why does the knife community have such low regard for 420HC? It is almost the same thing as 12c27… It is one of the best hard use stainless steels going. These are simply the best outdoor steels going, edge retention isn’t always king, keeping an edge serviceable is. However, I think the opposite would be true in the kitchen. Could you possibly do an episode that focuses 100% on the merits of the steel for the intended for job without regard for price or whether or not it is considered a premium steel-explore the subject a bit more in depth?

Hey, DCA (and team), hope you’re keeping well. I’ve been shaving with a straight razor for about 8 years because I enjoy both feeling smug about sustainability *and* self-mutilation. Almost all the straight razors I can find are carbon steel - why is this? Are high end stainless steels and/or particle steels not suitable for a straight razor? Very much enjoying the channel.
@seancollins3711
Жыл бұрын
That would be because carbon steels are tougher and will hold an edge longer (most of the time) than some modern stainless steels for a fraction of the price. Because of the nature of most razor blades out there today, which are "disposable", there is no real need to spend time resharpening them when you can buy a pack of them and have new ones ready to go, companies can mass produce these blades for very little money. Razors need to be very thin and very sharp and shaving beard hair is actually quite hard on a blade so thin and sharp, you would have to sharpen a stainless blade more often than a carbon steel blade. To summarize, carbon steel blades will hold up the the abuse better for cheaper. Like with anything in the blade world, you can usually find what you want with a bit of searching and if you really want a stainless razor, I say go for it but it would be in your best interest to learn how to sharpen them as well because you don't want to toss a high quality stainless steel in the trash.

DCA, I am a scout leader and have two Eagles graduating from high school. It's that time of year! One is heading to AZ the other to GA. I want to keep them active in the outdoors and present them with a knife that they can carry while camping and hiking in those states, but keep them out of trouble with the college authorities. I was thinking an SAK or multi-tool, but wanted to tap into your experience and opinion. Under $80 would be great. What are your thoughts? NAM

Hi DCA, your videos ALWAYS deserve a thumbs up (kudos to Thomas also, really important part of the game) but you really would deserve a double one when mentioning Italian food in Italian language... Probably even triple if the food is in reality actually vino! 😉

I like the Banter, just not crazy about thumb studs.

@@jerrypomroy2375 I would go with the Spyderco Salt 2. The LC200N is basically rust proof and with this sweat becomes no problem. You get a very lightweight perfect knife that works so well.

DCA, looking for a recommendation: I have the Sencut Citius and I love how it has such a narrow profile without being too narrow like the CEO. Looking for something similar with better steel under 300. I am currently looking at the ZT 0707, any others I might be missing that I should consider. Bonus points for a milled pocket clip but not essential.

If you catch a sale you can easily get a SOG terminus XR for under $150. I was even able to get the LTE carbon fiber version for around $100. I completely forget I have it with shorts.

There are soft-loop (scout loop) cross-carry options that would work great with those taco sheaths - and would be easier on the tactical muffin than bulky tek-loks 😉

DCA, are there any modern folders that come with a corkscrew? Something fidgety, easy to open and close, with a good blade. Bonus points for a hollow grind! My current favourites are the Elementum II and the Pyrite. I usually have a Victorinox Compact in my bag in case I need to save the day at a dinner party (has happened twice in my life so far, what a feeling) but it'd be great to have one I can use as my main EDC knife.

I've taken the corkscrew off an old cheap SAK knockoff and added a large strong keyring to the end of it. Works well, and stores well in a pocket gear organizer or attached to my Leatherman sheath.

Hey DCA. Love everything you do! I always thought carrying a boot knife is the most BA way to carry. Are there any decent boot knives out there? Are there any ways to reconfigure great edc fixed blades into a boot style carry? Thanks!
