This is a follow-up to the DLO LIve! EP.10 where I talked about knives, knife shapes and different steels. These days, you can get a surprising number of adequate quality knives with D2 or similar steel blades for under $50, which is exactly what I focus on in this video.
We took a look at:
Ontario RAT Model 1 (recommended)
Ontario RAT Model 2
ESEE Avispa
ESEE Zancudo (recommended)
CJRB Centros
CJRB Small Feldspar
CJRB Ria (recommended)
Steel Will Intrigues
QSP Parrot (budget pick)
CRKT CEO
Bastion Braza MiniBro Cleaver (mostly here for shits and giggles)
