❎KNIVES FROM THE VIDEO❎

4:57 Emerson- Mini Commander

[mikecz]

My hard use is always a fixed blade. Period. But for secondary “harder” tasks I love my SpyderCo folders.

[npenick]

Good to see Cold Steel getting some love. They're not what they were 20 years ago when they put out works of art like the Black Sable but they're still solid.

[Greg_M]

Cold Steel Recon 1 is my favorite tough folder.

[Mysmi]

The American Lawman is my daily carry and i totally agree with you. It is such a strong knife and what I really like about it over the other Cold Steels is that front choil. I love a good front choil.

[jamesbarisitz]

If you are interested in expanding your ZT inventory, the ZT 0560 is a great hard use choice. Lots of after market titanium parts for pimping it out too.

[jasonchatham]

Opinel number 8! I prep firewood with mine. 😎

[cylentone]

I like the approach of picking those that you would personally carry most, instead of picking only specs and test results.

[gladius]

Cold Steel Recon One with the spear point. I also love both my Demko AD 20 and ZT 0308, which has an unbelievable blade shape.

[silentstryker]

Cold Steel is my go to hard use for quality and price they are hard to beat.

[sublyme]

For actual hard use my go to knife is always, always, always either a RAT I or RAT II. My expensive "hard use knives" are way too nice to mess up!

[brigsomers]

Emerson has been my daily EDC for many years. Great American made knives.

[patricknichols]

If you like the AD10 check out the CS Bush Ranger. Better handle, way more slicey, pocket plate deployment, and better pocket fit.

[Errcyco]

It’s not current or very nice but the CRKT CK Folder is probably the hardest use I’ve owned. It tore the pockets out of my jeans just walking around with it clipped in.

I want that Adamas.. that’s a one and done hard use I’d be totally fine with.. maybe it and the mini. Perfect setup. If a Navy SEAL uses them, I’m sure it would work out for my use case haha

[chrisjosekuehl]

I’m really impressed with the Demko ad20.5, I’ve got the carbon fiber 3v version. The carbon fiber is very high quality and the 3v is super sharp and the whole knife locks up like a vault and is so fun to use.

[sawmillsam]

I don't have as many to choose from as you but I use my ZT0562 more than the others for hard use.
My 2nd choice is my AD15, 2nd only because the 0562 carries easier.

[mdubb]

Mini Recon spear point is a real sleeper and can be found for $50-60. Clip point easier to find, often under $50

[dlrmon]

The “Mini” craze drives me nuts...with my monster mitts most knives are mini. The same ZT0640 as yours is my current carry. The only hard use knife I’ve purchased duplicates of in case I lost one is the Recon 1 (Canadian Uncoated XHP & Spearpoint S35vn) been my #1 for some time. I do have the standard sizes of most of your list...and yes, the 4-Max’s are even to big for me...

[toddcarr.]

I definatly carry a hard use knife all the time. The Cold Steel 4max scout and Ad10 is part of my normal rotation one or the other is in my pocket. For back yard stuff the SR1 lite is a great choice. I've beaten on all three and I know for a fact that anything I throw at them they can handle with ease. Only thing I would trust more is a full tang fixed blade. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

[bubba]

Oh Mr Stassa would have been so tough to choose with all these great choices 👍

[chrisjosekuehl]

I can’t wait to get the new shaman in 15v, I don’t like the scales it comes with but micarta is easy to find.
