DCA or Thomas or even Seth, I am looking for a new utility knife that can handle other EDC tasks as well. Would prefer a knife that could use standard utility blades but not a deal breaker. Have seen a few ones over the years from new knives of the week videos. Bonus if it includes pocket clip.
Shun has the perfect knife for this application.
Hey DCA, I am looking for a new bread knife. We currently have a Wusthof 8" Classic single sided serrated blade knife (lower end steel). My wife makes the BEST hard crusty breads & this knife just doesn't stand up to the daily cutting task & needs constant sharpening. Can you recommend a bread knife that will stand up to the daily cutting chores? I understand this will not be a cheap purchase so I set my expenditure limit to $300 or less. I can sharpen a knife but this is getting tedious.
Thank you DCA, I’m adding the Boker to my wishlist on the website!
hey dca. I'm looking for a knife I can easily wear with a pair of shorts, what do you think of the boker magnum? or any other lightweight (under 3oz) sub 3.5in ambi lock under $50
For the measured once, cut twice segment the RoseCraft Blades Swaggs Barra is also an option.
Some of the Ka Bar history was cool what about some history on some of the knife shapes or something like that???? Would be cool, I think
Hey, DCA I have a serious question: I have had hip reconstruction surgery and am being subjected to crutches for the next several months. What knife would you suggest is the most bestest for “crutch carry”?
Whenever someone asks about a folding knife for use with food – particularly meat – my first thought is cleaning. You wouldn’t want to put a knife covered in jous back into your pocket, and personally, I wouldn’t want to cut a steak with I knife I had been using to open greasy Amazon boxes that just arrived on a boat from China. So how do you properly clean a folding knife well enough to wipe on a nice steak?
It would also be helpful if you talked about the CA Prop 65 warnings. I might be more OK with toxic chemicals in a work knife than with a knife I plan on using to cut food.
Hello DCA, been following the series for some time now.. There are not a lot of cutlery channels in Europe, not to mention here in Croatia where I reside.
I started the life of a hunter 2 years ago and one problem is constant – one hunting knife for all tasks (not in the woods but with the hunted animals). Is there a decent knife for skinning and meat processing? We hunt mainly hogs and roebucks.. Sometimes a deer.. Now I have a selection of knives for these tasks. Meat is tricky – but the skin is even trickier is the knife is not sharp enough.. My budget is between 150-200$..
Thank You in advance, best regards, Josip
Technically a sabre grind is just a high Scandi grind, and then you still got no information whether the bevel is ground convex, flat or hollow.
15:25 Uhm, my light summer pants care. As they are lighter and can move more around, so the lesser weight the better, to avoid pants pulling. (Like when you sit down and the pocket knife pulls your pants to the side and put uncomfy tension on your leg, so annoying!
13:27 Uhm uhm leaf shape.
Pro Tip:
Ballistol is food safe and also acts as a disinfectant, which makes it great for treating wood and preventing bacteria to sneak into it. It's also a penetrating oil so it goes right in. It also doesn't gum up and all the good stuff. (And ofc it's also food safe.)
I love my Urban Trapper with the backlock and the nailnick for such purposes. Also Lucas Burnley a design, made by Böker Plus (their segment focused on innovation).
Wow. I'm shocked (but maybe shouldn't be) at the number of comments hating on knife enthusiasts carrying a knife they choose to actually use…but for some reason they are "triggered" because it is used for steak or food.
??? heres a question for yall… i love the look of that petrified fish hourglass, & ive seen several knives as of late with a similar style, ie bronze bolster with an old school lookin handle, & i really like that classic look, but every single one ive looked at, including the besttech swordfish for example, has a right side only pocket clip? …so any suggestions as to a classic bolstered knive in that 3 plus inch size range (btw must be a FLIPPER deployment, & absolutely NO front flippers, i hate them!) …& on a side note, are these knife manufacturers just ignorant to the fact that left handed knife enthusiasts with money to spend even exist?!? always enjoy yall videos, thank u gentlemen
Hello David and Thomas! After several years, finally my wife has decided to get her own EDC knife. She decided that the locking and opening system that works best for her, after testing using my knives, is the burton lock. The problem is that, for the uses she will be putting it to, it would be best if it had washers. Is there a button lock knife with washers and a 3 to 3.5 inch blade? She is right handed, thanks!
In response to the Most Serious Question of the Day, this is the one time it would be good to get a knockoff knife.
I'll let myself out now.
The hardest thing about using any of my knives for a steak at the restaurant, is trying not to drag it against their plates…it’s a real conundrum lol
The handle on that JOC Dogwood looks ridiculously skinny. Can’t imagine it being comfortable to use in hand.
Opinel as steak knife.
it was a huuuuuge fail to remove the bottle opener on the WE Knife version of the Qubit … I would have ordered it right away in flamed titanium, but like this its a no no. I hope WE brings the Qubit with in flamed titanium or other premium scales or wood. I was so disappointed WE even name it Qubit even though it really differs in design and function
I just love a Greg Cimms MagnaCut chefs knife. Way over budget. But you’ll never regret it.
Civivi is a fail in this list
It costs more than $100 but I would go for a Perceval L-08.
Petrified Fish Hourglass in ya face fellaz
When the carnivore diet people collide with the EDC dorks on the internet. Behold the EDC steak knife. Which they will use as often as their knipex mini cobras. AKA…. Never…..
The best folding steak knife out there is a GreenThorn F3NS. Under $100 last time I looked. Yes, it is a chinese Shirogorov clone and it is verrry well built.
As far as kitchen knives, just buy Dexters. You’re welcome
Hey DCA. Love the channel and look forward to new videos every week. My question has to do with sharpening different grind styles. I have a Work Sharp Ken Onion sharpening system, but I’m weary of using a convex style sharpening system on a hollow ground blade. Is this sharpening system safe to use on other style blade grinds? Thanks
