When you first get into knives, it’s a major shock to the system to see just how much they can cost. We often joke about this by comparing them to what our videographer Thomas paid for his truck, but sometimes the cost is no laughing matter. A single custom handmade knife can fetch thousands of dollars; tens of thousands for something handcrafted by one of the true legends in the industry. But if that doesn’t scare you away and you find yourself going down the rabbit hole of ‘best knife for the money,’ you’ll find one name—and one knife—mentioned more than any other. That would be Chris Reeve Knives, and their Sebenza original frame lock folder.We could write a whole blog article about the history of this knife dating back over 30 years and the constant improvements to the design that have continued until today. But that’s not what we’re here for: this is an ode to the best folding knife money can buy and why it’s worth every penny.I bought my first Sebenza as a birthday present to myself way back in 2012, thinking in part that it would be the last knife I’d ever need to buy. I was right in one sense and drastically wrong in another. It was the last knife I needed to buy but, of course, it wasn’t the last knife I did buy. I’ve been fortunate to improve my collection with mid-tech and custom knives since then but nothing, and I do mean nothing, matches the quality of this near nine-year-old Sebenza.The Sebenza is everything you want and need in a folding knife, with hands down the best manufacturing tolerances in the industry. That’s what sets them apart from all the rest. Ever since the company’s inception, CRK’s commitment to quality has never wavered; they would sooner slow down production than deliver an imperfect knife. Chris Reeve Sebenza folding knife on wood background surrounded by watch, phone, and keysNine years later, and this knife still functions as smoothly as the day I bought it. Plus, I’ve never had to adjust a single screw on this knife, ever. Yes, the edge is no longer factory and the Micarta inlays look like they’ve seen some stuff, but it still locks up like a bank vault and glides open like butter. Chris never intended for the Sebenza to be flicked open—knowing it would put unnecessary stress on the blade when it crashed into the stop pin—but the sound of the lock engaging is one of the most distinct and pleasing sounds in the knife industry, a haptic pleasure you can’t help but enjoy every time you open the blade. When you buy a Chris Reeve Sebenza, you’re buying a knife for life. Send it in for a spa treatment whenever you want and they’ll re-tumble the blade, re-sandblast the handle, and send you back a knife that looks brand new. Ever try and find a used Sebenza? They hold their value like no other knife, because there’s always someone looking for a user or maybe a special one for a collection.   The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com

When a new knife comes out, one of the first things people want to know is: does it have washers or bearings? Both have their advantages (and disadvantages), but there’s no doubt that ball bearings are the de-facto favorite these days. But do they really make a difference? Many gravitate toward ball bearings thinking they’ll get crisp, clean deployment action every time. And as long as the detent is properly set, they’re usually right. Bearings offer a frictionless feel like nothing else. Plus, you’ll find them on high-end custom knives more often than not. However, that doesn’t mean they are the end all be all. Washers—phosphor bronze, Teflon, or otherwise—have been used in knives for decades for good reason. They do better than bearings when used in wet, sandy, or dusty environments. Washers are tried and tested and their simple, somewhat self-sealing construction naturally keeps debris from seizing them up. Pair them with a solid detent and the benefits far outweigh their only drawback: speed.Well, if it’s speed you’re after, why not let a spring do all the work? For knives where the detents can’t always be hand-tuned per knife, assisted opening mechanisms—Ken Onion’s SpeedSafe system, for example—are a great choice. Once the blade is deployed a fraction of the way, the mechanism takes over, opening the blade with authority each and every time. It’s dependable, easy to use, and nearly fool-proof, making it an ideal choice for a tactical knife. You can rest assured that your knife will deploy when you need it, plus they’re a mighty fun way to kill some time.Knife pivot bearings on white background: ball bearings, teflon washers, and phosphor bronze washersThat brings us back to the question at hand: do bearings really make a difference? Yes, I think they do. Now, don’t get me wrong, if you need a work knife or a tactical/combat folder, then no, you should go with washers; maybe even throw in assisted-opening for good measure! Washers are more dependable all around, often more economical, and they work just as well if you’re not the kind of knife-obsessed guy who writes (or reads!) an article about pivot bearings. Ball bearings are like extra cheese on your favorite pizza, or that cherry on top of a perfect sundae: not strictly necessary, just extra-special. In terms of folding knives, bearings give your knife that little something that makes you reach for it as you go out the door.Let’s be honest: bearings help make a knife into a better fidget toy, and that’s okay. It’s okay to derive joy from the way your knife operates. Sure, you may have to run compressed air through the pivot when it gets jammed with pocket lint, or squeeze some pivot grease in there if that doesn’t work, but the attachment to a new knife comes not just from using it, it comes from tinkering with and maintaining it over the years.

Some would call it the ultimate backpacking knife, others would say it makes the best EDC blade and one man at Blade HQ claims he can use it for #anything. If you haven’t seen the Bugout yet, you’ve probably been living under a rock, but nevertheless, here is an overview of the knife, a look at our Blade HQ exclusive Benchmade Bugout Black 535 BK-1902 and a rundown of other colorways and variants.BlackoutBlackout lovers rejoice! From its inception many asked if and when the Bugout would come in all black. Now it does!For this Blade HQ limited exclusive, the Bugout is now offered with a full blackout design making it more usable as a tactical pocket knife. Its exceptionally lightweight Grivory handles, blade, thumb stud and titanium AXIS® lock mechanism come in a jet black finish. The drop point, flat grind blade is coated CPM-S30V steel providing both excellent edge retention and versatility for many tasks. The Black Bugout will be available mid-July 2019.Shop Black Benchmade Bugout >Bugout OverviewThe Bugout was never meant to be a heavy-duty work knife. It wasn’t designed to take on large jobs or to fill the roles of larger knives. That being said though, the knife is incredible despite its slim profile and light weight. It boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio thanks to its S30V blade and Grivory handles. It out performs other knives in its size and weight class and holds up to almost anything you throw at it. When Benchmade set out to make a lightweight (it only weighs 1.85 ounces!) knife, they wanted to produce something that would bode well with ounce-counting outdoorsmen and the like. The Bugout’s slim profile is easy to slip into a pocket and almost forget it’s even there. The drop point flat grind blade makes it a great slicer especially during tasks like preparing kindling and feather sticks while camping or opening boxes and letters at work. We’ve even tested the Bugout in the kitchen and funny enough, it actually works pretty well for prepping food.AXIS® Lock: The innovative AXIS Lock from Benchmade is fully ambidextrous, allowing for easy opening and closing with either hand. It utilizes Omega springs and a tension bar to ensure secure lock-up and fast action.Grivory: Similar to Glass Filled Nylon (GFN), this polymer material is ultra-lightweight, and durable.CPM-S30V: This well balanced steel is considered by some to be an up and coming industry standard as many brands including Benchmade are utilizing it for more and more products. Its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance make it an amazing steel for knives that go wherever you go. With the Bugout’s classification as a mid-duty knife, it’s no wonder that the guys at Benchmade chose S30V for this knife.Drop Point: The drop point blade is a universal, great all-around blade for cutting and slicing. Its convex curve from the tip to the spine of the blade makes it easy to identify.Flat Grind: Consistent taper from the spine to the edge. Flat grinds are great for day-to-day use, and tend to be easier to maintain.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com

Among the more popular small and fifth pocket knives Spyderco offers, the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight has been incredibly popular. For 2021, Spyderco has introduced a pink-handled version of the lightweight Dragonfly 2, and part of the sales go to support an organization called Pink Heals. Let’s get into the knife first, and then we’ll tell you about the charity it supports.Size first. The Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight Pink is a small knife. Some would call it a fifth-pocket knife (that’s that little pocket inside your pocket on most jeans). It closes down to just 3.3″ and opens up to only 5.6″ overall. And, when Spyderco calls this the lightweight, they mean it. It weighs only 1.2oz.Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight PinkThe Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight Pink features a 2.28″ CPM-S30V blade with a satin finish. It’s .09″ thick and has Spyderco’s trademark Round Hole which makes it easy to open one-handed.This knife has what Spyderco calls a Backlock (the rest of us know that as a lock back – way to be different Spyderco). The handles are pink fiberglass-reinforced nylon with an ambidextrous tip-up wire pocket clip. We like how the handle and the blade choil come together to form a nice forward grip, finger choil when the knife is open, and there’s a good amount of jimping both in that choil and on the spine and thumb ramp, so you can really hang onto this little fella.As we mentioned above, part of the proceeds of the sale of this knife go to support an organization called Pink Heals. We don’t know the exact amount, but we can tell you about the charity.Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight PinkPink Heals says, “It is our mission to provide the pathway for giving that drives funding solutions to individuals and communities in need on a global level… Pink Heals is personalized support at a grass roots level and visionary leaders across the world are implementing our program at a rapid pace… The Pink Heals National Tour operates by the sale of merchandise, gifts, local sponsorship and in-kind donations…” You can learn more on their Pink Heals web site.Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight Pink Details2.28″ CPM-S30V BladeSatin Finish.09″ ThickSpyderco Round Hole OpenerLockbackPink Fiberglass-Reinforced Nylon HandlesAmbidextrous Tip-up Wire Pocket Clip3.33″ Closed5.58″ OverallWeighs 1.2oz.Made in JapanThe Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Lightweight is a great little fifth-pocket knife with light handle materials and premium blade steel.
