[ottodob]

[RondelayAOK]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! Makes this a compelling video, and I'm not even a "knifie"!

[pyrastome]

Bob is the awesomest name EVER

[DcLomas96]

you sound a lot like morgan freeman

[DrWrongPaul]

this is a great video !!

[belzach]

do you like the mantis z`mora for an EDC or because of the size you think is only for officers or military? cuz i like it a lot, and because i cant find the benchmade rukus i think i might go for the z`mora

[wwwknivestowncom]

@belzach I am sure it is a fine knife. Mantis has some good products and a good reputation, so if you like it I would not hesitate. Sadly, the Benchmade Rukus is discontinued so it is not surprising you can't find one.

[GABRIELISDABEAST]

@belzach Hey man i heard you like the rukus but you cant fin it!Heinnie Haynes.com and go on benchmade on the second page there is a benchmade rukus for £172.95:]

[belzach]

@GABRIELISDABEAST Hey thanks man, i just check the page and you are right is the mini rukus ... just need to know if they shipp to central america and how much is the total price ... but in $ hahahah :P

[GABRIELISDABEAST]

[thebigdee100]

What one fixed blade would choose as your favourite if you had to? :)

[B525shot]

Your woman bought you a knife :D That's awesome! Tell her, I've said, she really is a good woman :)

[sijja]

When you start off with your no.1 pick it kinda takes da fun outta watching da rest of da top 10............ but then again always enjoy watching your reviews!!!

[OfficialStupidStunts]

I like #2. Try and carry that sucker in your pocket! Isn't that illegal to carry? I prefer the assisted switchblade knives. I'm getting a small Stilleto for $8.99.

[zanuha]

@OfficialStupidStunts

Easy, no, assisted =/= switchblade, it's shit.

[OfficialStupidStunts]

@zanuha ...What are you talking about?

[mitchyslick420]

what is the cammilus product called?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@mitchyslick420  It is the Cuda.

[swissfa18]

I own the victorinox multitool as well! Its great

[matthias66]

Cold Steel Voyagers are awesome. I own the Cold Steel Large Clip Point Voyager, and it is still sharp, after several months without sharpening.

Love the look of the Benchmade Ruckus. And that thumbstud is pretty close to the blade, as opposed to being near the spine of the knife, for quicker deployment. Just wish Benchmade lowered the price on their knives, I find $100-$300+ for a knife a little too much.

[LABTacAndOutdoors]

I once had a Victorinox Huntsman model but it broke when i was cutting an apple.

[SNAFU111999]

How do you like the Kershaw Double Duty? Do you own a Chris Reeve knife? Great review!

[wwwknivestowncom]

@SNAFU111999 I did like the double duty a lot and did a review on it. I like the concept of thumb studs on a pocket knife. To make it perfect (IMO) I would have preferred it was not an open frame design. I like my pocket knives with a solid back. Old fashioned, I guess.

[xnickx29]

favorite tactical knife out of all these?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@xnickx29 The Rukus 610 has been my fav for a long time now and I just haven't found another folder yet that beats it. There are plenty that are just as good, but many of them are more expensive than the 610 was.

[xnickx29]

great video. do you have any of the discontinued benchmade axis knives? new or used?

[Lobo8784]

Good God, that Rajah I is a beast!

[dlizzle]

nice vid, bob...my current fav is the spyderco barong, and when spyderco discontinued that model i bought a few extra to have a lifetime supply! its surprising how many good designs are discontinued...get 'em while you can!

[wwwknivestowncom]

@h4h4h4 Basically wherever. I will often carry in the cargo pocket of cargo pants/shorts or in ruler pocket of carpenter jeans, coat pocket, briefcase, etc.... I try to avoid front pocket though as it can can sometimes get annoying depending on size/weight of knife.

[TheMystery7314]

my top 10 are all Kershaws ^^, but great little collection you got there :)

[devouringfate]

610 rukus is my fav as well!

[XXstephenwaiteXX]

where is the all kershaw knives

[albi131]

You are awesome Bob! Your videos are great.

[ColinOutdoors]

Great collection Bob, thanks for sharing

[EnduringEagle]

Great collection. It is amazing that many of these knives are not available anymore and that some of these companies are no longer around. Evidently a great knife is not necessarily a "popular" knife from a marketing perspective. I like the BM Rukas. Is it possible to order one and can the Rajah I still be ordered?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@EnduringEagle Sadly the 610 Rukus cannot be had now except on the secondary market, maybe at a knife show. The Rajah 1 is gone as well but only recently, so there may be some hanging around on the knife forums. CS was blowing them out for $99 but even those are gone now. You can still get the Rajah 2 though.

[EnduringEagle]

@wwwknivestowncom Thanks Bob as always..

[kenalexpearson]

i think the rajah 1 is discontinued too

[fredde90210]

No list is complete without a Spyderco

[whateverfast22]

hey Bob,

The AG Russell knife with the guard, what other types of knives have a similar guard? I'm looking for a more edc/tactical point of use. Any ideas?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@whateverfast22 The Case Cheetah knife is a swing guard. I have one of those too and it is a nice knife. I also have an old Schatt & Morgan swing guard but I think you would have better luck finding the Case.

[plami15]

great knives

[nls8520]

Hey Bob,

Is there anywhere that you know of to buy a near new Masters Of Defense Hornet as pictured in the vid in plain edge?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@nls8520 You could try the blade forums on the internet, the usual suspects and blade shows or maybe even e-bay. I don't know of anywhere in particular more likely to have one than another. If youhave no luck check out my review of the Blackhawk Hornet. It is still a good knife, just different materials and steel.

[BBQofDOOM]

You wouldn't happen to have a comparison between a Benchmade 610 Rukus and a 615 mini-rukus, would you ?

[wwwknivestowncom]

@BBQofDOOM I never did pick up one of the minis, but I am sure it is a great knife and being of the same llineage as the 610 I would expect it is a great user.

[Robobob10]

Thanks for the vid, Bob. A good one!

[blank10123]

That cam opening knife looks cool

[jedidraco89]

nice video 1st
