IS THIS THE PERFECT AMERICAN MADE EDC KNIFE?!

The American Blade Works Model 1 may be the perfect American made edc knife. 20CV, micarta, bearings, titanium pocket clip and backspacer and ALL HAND MADE for $200?! I can't imagine a better choice than that. Lets dig in to the design and why I think this knife is soo good.

[bubba]

[mikereese]

Wow Sherif. Very educational. Learned alot about design language. Thanks. Nice review

[jim]

Thank you Sherif for broadening my thought process how I could be drawn unknowingly to different attributes on some knifes. Very educational for me!

I love a nice simple design! I've always worked on the K.I.S.S. method keep it simple stupid! Has always worked for me! I love your designs! They are great 👍

I’m gonna scoop the model 2, I love titanium liner locks and Magnacut at 63-64 sign me up. I can’t wait to see your new design either. I love the Grazioso. One of the most underrated knives from Kizer IMO.

Different strokes for different folks .. we all have different tastes in knives. Like art. For example none of the knives you showed appeal to me personally .. but you love them. It’s so interesting to see how different (yet the same) us knaf dudes can be. 🤘🤘💪🔪

Just stop working with Chinese OEM's 🤣 Kidding. Who would you even be able to OEM with here in the US? I'd be very curious to know.

After seeing your previous collection videos, I never would have thought you heavily favored overseas knives. Definitely a few to be sure, but most of what I've seen you show off has been made in the USA or somewhere else outside of China 🤷‍♂

ABW knives are really impressive looking. They're definitely on my list! I don't have any Emerson's yet, either, except for one of their Kershaw collabs (the CQC-8K, which I love still). I'm watching out for listings of the mini A-100 after you, and Erica's EDC, spoke highly of it. I see nothing but praise for that one! Same with the ZT 0640. Beautiful knife, love that design so much.

I think the big reason as to why I love those designs, and of most knives I find attractive, has a lot to do with what you pointed out: the design language of them is very appealing but not overdone. I'm in the design world as well, and so I'm always drawn to good, utilitarian, practical design; not just crazy designs for the sake of drawing attention to them. You can tell when the design is well balanced because it keeps your eyes moving along without getting stuck in one particular spot of interest, or it has multiple points of interest to bounce around to. Good stuff man! 👍

i have that exact ABW model1 (black micarta) and I love it. but if that backspacer is titanium then mine is magnetic. lol. they are not titanium. it's still a awesome knife. I wish it was, clip is though

Somewhere an EDGY AMERICAN got a tear in his eye after hearing ABW mentioned
