Forget premium knives | These 3 underrated options destroy the competition

Stop overpaying for pocket knives. In this video I show you 3 budget traditional pocket knives that punch way above their price and easily compete with “premium” blades. If you’re into slipjoints, Victorinox-style EDC, or classic working knives and you want real cutting performance, good steel and solid build quality without wasting money, this is for you. I walk through each knife’s strengths, weaknesses, and real-world use so you can avoid common knife buying mistakes, skip the hype, and build a smart, affordable everyday carry and collection with knives that actually earn their place in your pocket.

With over 1,100 videos and over 7 million views on this channel, I've restored, reviewed, and tested more traditional pocket knives than anyone else on YouTube.
