For me a beater knife is used when I use it I expect to damage the blade or quickly dull the edge. My favorite beater is the Cold Steel Tuff Lite that I carry in my tool bag, love the ergonomics, I keep it hair popping sharp and clean. I would buy this folder in premium materials. I agree with you liking the Manix over the PM2.

My beaters are my most carried ever day blades. Sage 2 5 days a week, ZT-0562 on weekends. The 562 looks the part, someone really screwed up on the sharpening. On top of that I often have a Ruike 801 or Firebird FH-21 or Squid if I'm really doing something stupid.

I own the Manix 2 lightweight blue version with CTS-BD1 steel ,great steel I only needed to touch up the blade now and then easy to keep sharp , I never had to fully sharpen the edge. My only complaint is that the lock with spring gets dirty and clogged up and you cannot take this version apart to clean it, So that is a problem with this design on all versions of the Manix 2. I prefer the lock back for a folder because it is the strongest lock ,I know many do not like it but I do on The Spyderco Native Chief , Dragonfly and other knives. I have the Byrd Meadowlark 2 FRN and I like the 8Cr13 steel it is no problem for me and is easy to touch up or sharpen. The Byrd knives are a great value and good quality. I carry a small fixed blade GEC H110 or other small fixed blade for reliability and a folder as a backup knife. The GEC #H30 and #H40119 Hunter fixed blade is a great EDC and field knife .

Two new beaters for me that are really quite a value, Spyderco Cat and the Byrd Crow, both in Carpenter BD1. When I got into knives 2 years ago, I shied away from BD1. Can't believe I was so naive.

I think the SG SpiderMonkey is such a sadly underrated knife. I've hardly carried anything else since I got it. It is a tiny bit pricey, admittedly, but I agree with you it's such a well built knife. I'm concerned more about losing it than ever breaking it. The only thing that's really replaced it at all in my pocket is an Ultramar Redencion I got more recently, so I'm sure you can understand that had to get some pocket time haha. I'm going to have to try out one of those Bareknuckles and the Baklash now. I just got a Dividend because they were on sale and I love it, but I do prefer the 14C28N from my time spent with Leeks, which I didn't realize the Bareknuckle was sporting. I love that Kershaw does the hollow grind, too. That's just the best. But .0013 BTE on the Baklash??? Didn't know that either!! Definitely need to give that a try as well. Thanks for an awesome and informative vid!

Hi Brian, watched your STAND-UP video, then this. It's been an entertaining 40 minutes of you. Would have loved to have heard those couple of jokes you forgot to tell. You were terrific up there. Anyway, I dig your beater collection. I noticed the ZT-0562(Ti) made it in. That was the folder that kicked off my knife collecting hobby. QUESTION: I am so curious why people don't talk about the ZT-0220 much at all. Same blade shape as the 0562, it's S35VN instead of CPM-20CV - no big there. But in ways I believe the ZT-0220 superior to the 0562: (1) the ZT-0220 fills your hand better, it's a bit heavier in a nice way and it is the same overall length as the ZT-0562 and (2) the ZT-0220 has this cool forward choil that does not sacrifice edge length. But nobody mentions the ZT-0220 as though it has some ugly, unspoken history. If there is something really sucky about the 0220, please let me know. Thanks. John

There are a bunch of them, but I’m still always checking for the next new model. Any brand new ones on their way?

Manix is an amazing knife, the Sprints are great and keep it interesting. Code four is also way underrated, its as tough as nails, and carries great for a longer knife. Interestingly enough Gerald at outpost 76 and SSSteve prove the Rat Aus 8 outcut Ontarios D2....... GB2 is also a wicked worker for the money. M4 is also overlooked, but it shouldn't be ..... thanks again, GREAT vid Bryan, but you did leave out the beloved Lawman, EDC of doom )-;
