@mattcourtney710 It's more to do with the shock of the pricing far north of other brands of similar or better quality, not so much the product/quality itself. Your dollar may go further (materials used, design, styling) elsewhere. I enjoy mine, but I have only bought when they have offered extreme discounts that place the discounted price at a semi-tolerable range.

I loved the Spyderco Sage 5, but in my opinion the wire clip was the fatal flaw with that knife. I ended up losing one after it fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice immediately that it was gone. After I bought another to replace the one I lost, I ended up bending the wire clip on it not once but twice. Thankfully Spyderco was kind enough to send me several replacements for free. However, I wasn't doing anything crazy with the knife. It just ended up bending after accidentally rubbing my side against a hard surface like the corner of a countertop. (I work in construction). Another problem with the Sage 5 was after a few months of carrying it the carbon fiber laminate peeled off on the side. I'm not even sure why. I never got it wet or did anything to it. I'm still a fan of Spyderco knives, but now I carry a shaman. The shaman has more heft to it so I can actually feel it in my pocket. And I have equipped it with a deep carry titanium pocket clip that is much less likely to bend.

This was very interesting as I started collecting knives less than a year ago. I had no real history as a knife enthusiast other than the common experience of growing up with a Buck 110, so when I finally started collecting most of my early choices were unqualified, unbiased, and merely based on simply what just appealed to me. A little later I "discovered" knife reviewing channels such as yours, became more informed, and probably made some choices that I might not have early on, and though my top 10 would undoubtedly differ from yours, here's the really interesting thing. I have 6 of the knives on your list...which says nothing about me, something about you, and everything about the greatness of a knife, (or knives) that would make the list of both novice and expert alike. Opinions will vary as they rise, fall and swirl around in an endless ocean of sources...but simple truth has a knack of floating to the top...Good is good! 😁 I very much enjoy and appreciate your channel sir.

One thing about the XHP is its awesome steel but....HOWEVER it can be a bit of a PITA to put an edge(back) on....I also EDC a TOPS UTE (and, usually, a P365 but that is another discussion)....and the UTE is one of the most useful and indestructible knives on the planet(and used to cost less than 1/2 what they do NOW.....oi...) I'm 61yo, and have been a 'knife guy' since the early 1990's and EDC'd a Benchmade Mini-Reflex 2500(YES, the original, not the 2550) im CM154 for almost 20 years(and still have that one).....and I wont EDC anything that costs more than $125(used to be $100), anymore.....older....wiser.....less brainwashed by THE HYPE!!! I can offer one very relevant piece of knife advice.... YOU are the ONLY one who will know that you didnt spend $400(or whatever) on a knife....and YOU are the only one who will cry when you lose/get stolen/break/whatever a $400 knife. Simplify, carry a spare -carry a throw away, too!!! but dont spend a LOT of money on an 'EGO BOOSTER'...THAT IS A FOOLS ERRAND!!! You are spending to prop up somebody ELSE'S EGO!!!

@@dawg4135 I really like it, but I do struggle to open it compared to another small knife like the Civivi Baby Banter for example. It's better now it's worn in a bit though.

@@dawg4135 I think the addition to the cost on the mini is because it comes in 14C28N and not D2, however the cost of steel is probably so minimal to these companies so who knows right? lol

@@SussexEDC that’s the same problem I had with the Knafs Lander. It was a pain in the ass to open based on the placement of the thumb stud and no indentation on the scale. But it’s SLOWLY getting better. I’ll have to pull the trigger on the QSP. I love the other versions so why not.

I’m shocked you didn’t list the XM-18! But, I find them a bit large personally. Great job!!!

Availability is the reason they aren't listed. That and price. Two big factors when it comes to recommending "EDC" knives

DLC 3v Clip Point AD20.5. Dropped like an extra 300 on custom Ti scales and deep carry clip. There is no reason for me to ever buy another knife, I've had it 2 years... But I want at least one more in megaslice.

nice list overall but in my humble opinion the Bugout definitely deserves a spot on a top 10 EVER list for edc knives. even if it isn’t king of the EDC lightweights anymore, its design pretty much paved the way for other great knives (Deca, Para 3 LW, etc.) to exist in the first place. love it or hate it, gotta give credit where credit is due.

Hi there. I know it's not my top ten, it's yours, and you manage to put different kind of knives in this top 10. So i'm not commenting to correct you, just for the talk and the sharing. Great top ten, in which I would replace some of these to put a We Banter, awesome little EDC, and some contoured micarta comfortable handles, as the Kizer T1 or the Civivi Sokoke. Maybe putting an alternative to the Sage, with the Native. I know, not the same fun locking system, but quite same ergo, and i love the back lock and the slender design with one curve from the edge of the handle toward the blade tip, with some more alternative with the steels (Magnacut incoming on this). Greetings. Edit : usefull video for anyone beginning a collection, and maybe lost inside the river of available knives in shops.

Against my own well-being I am going to share with you the name of the best knife. Ready? It is the Kershaw Chill. Best bang for the buck. I am amazed at how it keeps the sharpness for a long time. Hope you don’t pay attention so that it remains cheap. P.S. If you pay more than $50 you are collecting or hoarding, not working nor camping.
