Damn dude. I watch a lot of videos in this exact format, and your choices here are excellent. I really respect your eye, and your presentation is super solid. If you have more content....I'm looking forward to that.

I have the 940 carbon scales and it is a fantastic knife.

I like your honorable mention of mini grip but with sheep's foot blade profile san thumb stud.

My ZT 0804CF, ZT 0920, ZT 0456 and ZT 0562CF (all have CPM-20cv steel for starters) all exceed the ZT's you mentioned (and yes I have owned or at least handled the ones you show as well, so I can fairly compare them) and I would also put my Reates (I have 4 of those, Horizon D, blue Wave, Torrent 2015, mini Horizon D Ti) or WE's (I have 3 of those, 702-b integral, 704CF-P and 801 Minitor) up against any of the ones you list as being 'better' high end EDC's.

I think if we’re talking ZT the best I’ve owned is the 1. 0920 2. 0220 3. 0770cf

Jesus guys, pick your battles in life. If you don’t agree with the video just go click another one.

Chris reeves 21 Subenza. Is the best. I own the wood inlay version and is epic

[fullfire]

really? the 0801Ti? That beat out the likes of the paramilitary 2 or the para 3? The mini griptilian or full size griptilian? Sebenza?

Blood was shed in the making of this video

[rexczi]

Why the heck did you choose the 562 over the 562CF?

[viet]

Tell us why the knives are good. I can read the spec. sheet my self.

[dalecarpenter]

You don't mention that the axis lock is the second strongest lock on the market !
Liner locks are not strong and they are dangerous because they pop closed under hand pressure and you have to put a finger in harms way to close them !
The triad lock is the strogest lock on the market !

If you are looking for high quality (not custom) knives, look towards the Chinese manufacturers. WE knife co ltd, Reate, Rike, Kizer... maybe Bestech and/or Stedemon.

[AGMartinez]

None of those are Lock Backs.

Pocket Knife Lock Strength Test 1 by Blade HQ. Average Weight in LBS: Liner Locks 243, Frame Locks 277, Lock Backs 370.

@43 seconds wtf bro there's so much wrong with that 🤣

[Blingem]

Wow click bait crap... you’re not going to get any subscribers this way. Either you have no idea what a high end knife is or you do and you were just trying to get clicks.

Benchmade has several Osbourne designed knives. This is the 940. It is NOT a “high end” knife.

The only knife on here that could semi be considered high end is the Anthem. Your reviews are extremely generalized. You didn’t even mention the difference in the new axis lock spring design on the Anthem due to the patent running out on the original axis lock.

[aaronark]

Pressure release what r u talking about? Its called a detent.your prices r off as well.need to research better!

[MegaSpongebob]

Nice but you guys aren't very competitive on prices

[glamlifeleesh]

The dude talking is silly and not knife knowledgeable

[Onyxnitram]

It’s all about opinion. I hate benchamde knives every one I have purchased is so dull I could use it as a butter knife. I hate sharpening so I really dislike benchamde. I own a griptillian and a benchamde barrage.
