Today at Blade HQ on Knife Banter what are we doing Austin? Today we're talking
about spyderco's. We're talking blade sizes you look at those two next to each
others not a ton of blade to this guy. I can get your same boat okay I go say a
spy. What is up guys? Today at blade HQ on Knife Banter what are we doing Austin?
Well first of all we're back we're back with another knife banter. That's right it
was a one-week break over back let's um let's start by talking about our
beautiful play button here! Hey boy mom yes what does it mean
hundred thousand subscribers on all these boys all thank you thank you so
much we're super stoked about that and not be
more excited I think we've been running the tail for about five years now. Slow
burn so we got where we got slow and steady with a race so thank you to all
of you guys for subscribing there's a lot of us that work on this channel over
the years and it's cool to see that happen slowley.
Thank you. Now what is the real topic for the day Austin? Today we're talking about
Spyderco's and I love it yeah more specifically what the company the people
who work here what their favorite Spyderco's are. So what was their methodology on
this one? Sure so I basically just took a little pull of most of the employees
they weren't all here that day but we got most of them and yes we just went
with the top five top six picks seven so we carry a lot of Spyderco's here we
do and as US employees personal yeah we love we love them here and it for good
reason. Okay so what was the number one in the house? I mean probably the easiest
guess the paramilitary 2. We've talked a lot about this or is it over the latter
you must yes but how could I mean you there's nothing bad to say about it it's
true yeah it's just a great knife. Kind of kind of what everyone can well a
lot of people consider the perfect EDC blade so a lot of guys carry that one
and a lot of guys are currently carrying oh yes it's a little brother little
brother yeah the para 3. Yep so both the exact same knife we talked
about them previously as far as size goes other than size they're nearly
identical. Yeah absolutely the same blade style compression lock. G10 I mean great
knives yep very similar solid blade yep now I want to know what is in your
pocket today Austin? Look let's go with my pick this was actually my take this is
okay okay okay we plan to look at that we full time I'm delica prior to both of
us working here yeah we we owned about it guys any exact same blue yeah I have
a have a thing for this blue yes that I can't deny know if this is like this
probably might save one of my favorite knife yes yeah it's perfect it's
lightweight it's strong I like the portable full flat grind on it yeah and
that eat something Spyderco does look great a lot makes it a great slicer and
just a great knife. Easy to sharpen. How much is the delica? Good question 70 bucks
should we levy eight the $68.97 currently on Bladehq.com. Yep
that's why I bought it originally I am a cheapskate cheap sucker. True!
So I said what is a good Spyderco that yeah it's not going to break the
bank? Yeah and for me this is the only knife I
own two of. Really? Oh I'll do what yeah I've got a Karambit ring on my other one
but it's the emerson opener with the emerson opens the what is wise wise men
went wisemen company cranberry cranberry aftermarket accessory yep and it's got
it's got blue as well it's like a gray blue but yes yeah I like that one. The
only knife are you own two of? Yeah isn't that industrial I know I love out I love
my delica. That's awesome yeah okay so a lot of folks here on delica's. The other
one I see a lot of is the Sage. Yes in fact our marketing nope our product
manager has carried a sage for a lot of years yes in fact the sage 1. Yeah he
has a thing for carbon fiber interesting and this is a the overlay g10 carbon
fiber on there so you know but the sage series is great you've got a lot of
different color options a lot of variety and each model stage one two three four
and five has a different lock type yeah no that's definitely true and I think
something else interesting is that the product manager before him this was also
the favorite pick. Really so the last two product managers we've had both of
their pick was beside the sage so - it's a good knife. Yes it's hard I like the new stage
five would see it's got this basically same knife but with the compression lock
washing mark right yeah very nice and this one from Taichung I believe tied on
with s30v right 30b and I've done then like non-scratch pocket I'll try to
guess on the price oh I have no idea my guess 130 ish close $130.96. Outkast not
better yeah not bad not bad okay so the other one that our chief
creative officer carries frequently and he's tried to talk me into it for a long
time I haven't been talked in yet okay Mannix 2.
And why why haven't you bought it yet yet I'm gonna say yeah okay
the difference between these two others in the Loctite muscles bigger I don't
see that much benefit to Maddox - for me /
okay longer blade yep BT one on this one I'm not in love with the ball bearing
luck okay III I think it's fine yeah but it's not my favorite okay
then it's just a little bit bigger I'm talking I mean you look at the the
profile between those two it's definitely a large knife yeah well one
thing that is great about the Manics though is it comes in a ton of different
variety it does yeah lots of different blade stills lots of different colors
it's that's a that's a really great necklace you can get a détente handle on
it yep there is a gray Maximus currently yep so you got a lot of
options yeah with the manikanta lutely it's a
nice nice yeah I can see my jig like yeah but at the same time it's just big
it's a big night yeah I think it's a large knife but it's super light it is
very light it is yeah and we had a couple people mention that one as well
okay yeah absolutely okay the next one is my
Western your pick right written yeah okay I get to be on the show and so I
get to Kelly so now you know you get to be on the show yeah that makes me be so
this is the Dragonfly yeah and it is in each one
yeah now the thing I like about the Dragonfly we're talking blade sizes you
look at those two next to each other yeah not a ton of blade to this guy in
Kahala ground but that h1 steel is completely waterproof rust proof amazing
yeah I could be an evangelist for h1 steel seriously I know like I have taken
this on trips I've taken it on vacations in the water for a week yeah and it
doesn't rust yeah the other day I think we have spend what his favorite knife is
period that he owns and you said it might be this because of the steel he is
such a fan I am I am because I don't have to stress about yeah I think is
what you said his magic magic beautiful meadow and it holds an edge well okay
well that's good um so I don't own a dragonfly but I think they're super
great and I like that the top is kind of rounded here it's not as sharp but you
would see on the delica or something like that I think that's great and yeah
it's a great size kinda nice I like it I like the fingers with you because it is
kinda you know go film it yep and again another one that comes in a different a
bunch of different colors and blades feels so and this one's definitely your
your salt series one a lot of different variety and style
backs ya know Wow god oh god Wow God another wild cook actually I
pulled this one because our CEO carried this one for probably like three years
when true story I shouldn't know that true story okay he was not much of a
nice guy for a few years Wow he now carries a ZTE 450 and carbon
fiber yeah but he had this one on his keys forever he may still do but just a
little bug I had no idea um one of our photographers actually
carries the bug and swears by it she always has it on a keychain as well so
tiny and it costs what 11 95 or sometimes so affordable so affordable
yeah yeah that's a great little great little match okay and now the part
everyone's been waiting for is they want to see your spider collection this is my
spider coast collection right there we have unbreak them out we have almost
half of it on the table so I've got the two delicates and then I think everyone
knows yeah I have a paramilitary to the Jade luteum force do that's right and

I am I actually think I prefer the one I like the I like so I know I'm pretty it
doesn't bother me at all the compression yeah and something I

the box it is like nice its intimidation out there oh yeah absolutely
