You should check out the Combative Edge M1 folding knife Mike. I have a rotation of 6 Edc's and that's my favorite folder to date! There will be a video up on my channel soon where I talk about my edc rotation, the M1 is an amazing knife.
And just to join the discussion, Sage 1 and para 2 are also part of my EDC, though I tend to save the sage for dressier occasions. Lately I've been swapping out between Para 2 and my Benchmade 580.
Great stuff, dude. You'll really like the mini grip. It's still my absolute go to for EDC even after all this time. Just really hard to beat that design.
Once I get paid next if no one else has taken the Emerson off your hands I would be interested (if you would still want to let it go). If you want to take my Mini Grip for a test drive first before trading someone for one let me know. Keep up the great vids.
@edgedweapon88 Hey man! I already have made trades for a mini-grip and a full size grip. I am really pleased I was able to find a couple people who wanted to get rid of their griptilians because they didn't like them. I know for sure I like the full size one, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the mini. As of today, I still have the Emerson. I've been getting lots of PM's from people saying they are interested, but that's about as far as its gone.
Nice collection you have there Mikey. Just got into collecting knifes and my first one was a Sog Flash II Tanto. Nice knife for the money,but I am sure there are better pending what one wants to pay. I payed $41.00 for my Sog and would recommend it to anyone. Got a Sog Digital Aegis Black Tini (AE-06) on order also for a decent price. Never the less you got yourself some nice knifes there!
@mrcaptain93 I have been shooting once and my camera jacked up! I was ticked. I have a bad tendency also to get caught up in the actual shooting as well and not to be able to focus on the filming part haha.
Go for the CRKT M16-13(Z,T,ZER, LE, etc.) It's a fantastic EDC blade! Plus the customer service is second to none! I have 3 of them and they are fantastic. They way out-do Cold Steel....
@militarykilroy I have had an M16 in the past and didn't care for it at all. I like Cold Steel way better. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
I hav been wanting the cqc 15 for a while! I have a Spyderco manix 2 (brand new) and a Spyderco resilience which is also new that I would love to trade and I'll throw in a few $! Pm me if you want!
@KnifeGuy47 Very much appreciate the offer my friend, but I am not interested in either of those knives. I already have a Manix 2 and have had a Resilience in the past. Thanks a lot for watching and for your offer!
Functionally its in great shape. I found I didn't like to carry it much because of its size. The blade is decently sharp and can pop hairs but its not shaving sharp. I already have a persistance (and love it) and I don't have the funds for the Emerson unfortunately. I've been meaning to try out an Endura though.
I've got a mini-grip that i've stopped carrying if you're looking for a trade. Its just too small length-wise for my hands. Its the 556 Mini-Grip MDP. Nothing like a cool knife video after a long day at work.
@KrazyCash Is there anything you see here that you'd be interested in trading for? What kind of shape is it in? I always appreciate you watching my friend :)
@guitarmikey2 I can post a video so you can see it in its present condition if you'd like. I keep it in its original box with the plastic wrap and all.

I'm in the same boat. I keep going back to the Delica and Endura because I really like them and they do stuff.
If they cost the same, Benchmade's mini and Griptilian might replace them. Emerson's more money than I need. The Sage and paramilitary are on my list for replacements. What am I missing for about $100-$120? These knives keep getting better and I'm many years behind the times.
@SmokingandTyping Oh man, the number of knives in that price range that are awesome would take all day to list. Are you familiar with Kershaw as well? They are coming out with some really nice new blades this year.
@guitarmikey2 Oh, tell me about. There are way too many too good folders in that price range to ever keep track of. I like Kershaw but the flipper is too switch bladey for me. I'll take a look at their new stuff. Thank you. Good stuff.
I'm trying to talk myself out of buying another Delica if something new has come out that does the same thing better. I'm not a collector but landed on your vid.
Nice blades man. I'm with you, I recently sold a few knives to make room. My tool boxes were getting filled up too quickly. I really love that 15 man. If I hadn't recently bought several knives I would totally take that 15 off your hands!
I would advise to check out the Spyderco Gayle Bradley or if you want to u can stop buying $60 spydercos(not that it's a bad thing ) you can pick up a Sebenza in no time .
@chavezchavez556 I don't think I can spend that much on one knife when I could buy a gun instead...But I see what you are saying. I'm already spending the money on knives, I guess its just the difference between having one or many. I do really like the sebenza though!
@guitarmikey2 I think all knife guys need to try a sebenza at least once in there life ! It's worth it just think about it would you want 3 Taurus revolvers or one really nice Smith ? I don't have a Sebenza right now but I'm saving up $20 out of each paycheck to get one .....
Lately, when I go to gun shows, I look for a decent Schrade Old Timer. I had one as a kid and I want to get it back. Great video and good luck on your hunt.
Currently rotate Sage 1 and Para 2 and they're both awesome. Sage is a bit more sheeple-friendly. I fiddled around with a Griptilian and it's just way too thick for comfortable pocket carry, at least for me. Buying a Mini Grip this weekend, it's the perfect size for me and it gets a lot of blade length from that small handle
i have a nwtf knife and i love it but it is pretty rare
