As someone who lived in the Philippines, I can assure you that you do not do any fancy moves with a bali-song knife when fighting. Its ideal use is to open silently and unobtrusively to be used covertly. The flashy moves are just movies, so I totally agree with your opinion based on what most people think they are used for. However, a real bali-song can be driven through a one peso coin that is sitting flat on the ground without any tip damage. They can be very sharp and very deadly in the right hands. Knives I hate: Tracker knives-multi purpose but do nothing really well. Oversized Bowie/Rambo knives- too big and heavy means slow and hard to maneuver in a stress situation. Zombie knives-the name says it all.

Well when it comes to steel of the blade it does make a differance, you can buy a Spyderco Para 2 for 185 dollars with CPM 45 which is good steel but if you buy that same knife with MAXAMET STEEL your gonna pay closer to 300 and that's because Maxamet steel holds a edge so long before needing to be sharpen, so if your not a great sharpener Maxamets a great steel to get I have 2 knives with Maxamet steel and used the one every day for 6 months just to see if it's true with holding a sharp edge and believe me it's true that knife will still slice paper like butter after 6 months of use.

@@JohnVentarino-ey5ln Then your knife is in his range of reasonable prices. I agree that it is very uncommon for one to need a more expensive knife actualy for more than 100$. I have a custom Sami made Leuku, with nonsliippery handle, bought for 84$; an EKA w12 Nordic for 99$; a Mora 2000 black limited edition 50$; special Swedish army multitool knife which I got as bargain for 30$; and a pen knife for under 10$. They are great for all uses and the only ones I still need every time I hike in rough terrain or mountains. The Lapplanders here have never changed the design in knives for millenia, a people who loves knife making and live by the harshest environments imaginable. Didn't the bushmen of USA and Canada have that possibility to forge thick ass big chunk of small swords to drag along the woods, or was it not possible to make in those days? cmn. They instead strangely had smaller or thinner knives than people think would be needed in wilderness. Probably dirt chdap to make and buy as well. So now suddenly, our times has descided that this thing of a simple iron tool is supposed to be expensive? Oh, I also just bought a Fällkniven PCx black folder for 140$. That one is more than my philosophy allows me to spend actually. I would never give less than 30 and more than 100$ for a knife, counting the material they are made from.

Up front Karambit knives . Especially with a ring . Cheap gas station knives ,especially those in folders . And last but not least zombie apocalypse knives . But when you need a blade the one on hand is the best . Don't hate on people for their different tastes.

Early on in the video, I had mentioned that I wasn’t hating on anyone. Maybe you were just saying that in general👍

1. Out the front knives (OTFs): While most of the time they are reliable, most of the time isn’t good enough. I’ve had them fail to lock open and fail to lock closed. I want a knife I can 100 percent count on. And an OTF isn’t it. 2. Knives with serrations: Yes, they can be useful. But I’ve probably used the serrations on a knife less than 5 times in my lifetime. As far as I’m concerned, knives with combo edges basically are a waste. 3. Folders that only have front flipping deployment: My preferred deployment method is a thumb stud. I’ll take a regular flipper too. But a front flipper isn’t as natural a deployment for me. The other two, I can deploy and get right to work. A front flipper I have to think to open and then readjust it in my hand.

Love everything you do and I'll get slightly nostalgic- butterfliy knives - as I kid I saw Burt Reynolds in Sharkeys Machine great movie there's a butterfly knife scene in there that for a twelve year old made me obsessed and I was able to get one to play with at a gun show when gun shows were gun shows . The wood and steel Buckknife folder for me again in 1978 it was all about the Dukes of Hazzard and they carried those Buck folders in a black belt pouch Bo and Luke Duke it was like a magical artifact I was never able to score one it was always out of reach at $30 had no birthday or Xmas coming for a while .

Agree with everything you stated. However, Case has recently produced more modern knives and not so much country like you stated. SMKW has them on their website. I do not like serrated edge knives.

I don’t like: Butterfly knives “Now this is a knife!” I don’t like fixed blade knives that pommel is screwed onto the tang as with some antler handles. My current EDC is a lock blade Buck 251.

Personally I carry two knives with me everytime, everyday. A fixed blade for self defense, and a flipper or OTF for any utilty/ cutting jobs. Using a knife for self defense is a very up close and personal business that requires you to have very fast reaction times, there's no way I'll be flipping open a damn Balisong when someone's already about to stab me while walking in a dark alley. I own a Balisong strictly just for fun and that's it. It stays in the house just for me to play with it when I'm bored.

1. Over-priced “super steel” knives (not that they’re bad; they’re just more than 90% of people need. 2. Locking knives with shitty locks. (If a lock has a defect, you could lose a finger) 3. Fantasy knives. (You do you, just not my style)

Thanks for the video. I can't honestly say that I despise any knives, but I'm not enough of a knife person to pay that much attention to knives that just don't speak to me. I'll see those junky knives at gas stations and think that they are junky. However, I don't give them a second thought after that. I just don't have the energy. I don't like knives that try too hard to be country, but a good knife that is authentically country is fine. I like the wood scales and brass trim of that classic big pocketknife. I like a well-made knife with an handle of elk or deer horn. If I were in a position in life to build knives, I'd probably ask some of the processors to give me deer and elk bones to use for handles and scales. I wouldn't care for a butterfly knife, but I don't despise them. I see butterfly knife stuff as its own martial art form. There are elements of martial arts that have little practical application, but they are a big part of the art. If someone wants to learn to do the butterfly knife tricks, that's interesting. I wish I had the coordination to do that kind of stuff. I'm not a fan of OTF knives. I'm not extremely familiar with their construction, and I'm sure that different models have different mechanisms. I suspect that they would be more prone to fouling from any kind of dirty use and would be difficult to clean. I suspect that the mechanism would be more prone to breakage with frequent or hard use. I suspect that they would be very difficult to repair. I think repairing an OTF knife would be more difficult than repairing a butterfly knife. I have this feeling that if I were stuck in a difficult situation for a long time, an OTF knife wouldn't be there for me over the long term. I'm not a fan of knives with extremely complicated blade shape. I accept that maybe some people are very skilled in using those knives with all of those odd shapes and angles and would survive much better in a difficult situation than I would. Maybe those people would be able to get the best use of each feature of the blade. If I were trained on all the intricacies of using those blades, I would love them. As it is, they just look odd to me and make me think that using them would be more frustrating than functional. I had an unpleasant experience with one of Cold Steel's social media representatives. There are certain Cold Steel knives that I love. I used to buy Cold Steel knives regularly. I still have most of them. Some are great knives. Some are good. Some are only okay. No matter what, I don't buy any more Cold Steel knives. Their online person was a jerk, and that has cost them many, many sales. I understand your preference for the appearance of black or gray knives. On the other hand, I sometimes like multi-tool knives in orange or yellow. In an outdoor situation, I like a color that won't blend with the surroundings at all. If I'm doing something and need to put down my knife for a moment, I want a knife that will be easy to see when I look for it again.

If you need to be able to find your knife, attach a piece of orange paracord to it. Next !

Oh my. Yes. Gas station knives. I agree. Country knives, I agree. (The buck 110 is a great example. As well as (almost) anything with bone scales.) I like butterfly knives just for the fidget ability and bc my dad gave me one when I was younger. But I wouldn't EDC one. For #3, imma say nail knick knives. I like my folders to have a thumb stud or a hide hole, for quick opening. (The exception to this will be victorinox knives, trappers, etc.)
