Bob DeMarco: Coming up, a historical look at the Yatagan. I discover a Cold Steel that I knew I'd love but I didn't know I'd love it this much. And then we're going to talk about 10 great waveable folders. I'm Bob DeMarco, this is The Knife Junkie Podcast.

Announcer: Welcome to The Knife Junkie Podcast, your weekly dose of knife news and information about knives and knife collecting. Here's your host, Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco.

Bob DeMarco: Welcome back to the show. One of my favorite comments from this past week was from HCL Salt, who said: "Speaking of seatbelt cutters, in 2022 I was involved in a rollover car accident and wound up trapped upside down hanging from my seatbelt. The car was starting to fill up with smoke, and I could not get my seatbelt undone for the life of me, no matter how hard I tried. It was a very scary situation, and luckily a bystander came and pulled me out. Turned out I had compression fractures on my L1 and T12 vertebrae. This was actually the reason I decided to get my first knife, as I never wanted to feel unprepared for a situation like that again, whether directly involved or as a bystander. That feeling of helplessness is something I will never forget. On the bright side, it introduced me to this wonderful hobby (disease? 😂) that has been so much fun to learn about and go down the rabbit hole into a world I previously had no idea existed to this extent. This community has helped me learn so much interesting information while connecting and having a good time. Thanks for putting the time and effort into doing what you do Bob, I really appreciate it, and your passion is evident".HCL Salt, thank you very much for the kind words, sir, and what a great testimonial as to why everyone—man, woman, and child—should have a pocket knife. Something durable, preferably something locking for this kind of situation. You don't want to be cutting yourself out of a seatbelt and have that knife fold on you. So, it just goes to show why everyone back in the day carried a knife, so let's all head back in that direction. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but maybe you can tell a friend or gift a tasteful pocket knife to a friend. All right, that said, let's get to a pocket check.

Announcer: What's in his pocket? Let's find out. Here's The Knife Junkie with his pocket check of knives.

Bob DeMarco: In my front right pocket today, I had one I haven't carried in a while. [winks] This is the Spyderco Spydeichef. Mine has been customized by Mike Emler. I wanted him to make this pointy, so he took off the rounded tip of this otherwise sort of chef's knife looking knife, and he blasted the blade and made it wickedly sharp. For some reason, I could never get this LC200N very sharp, but he did a great job. I love this knife and I don't carry it that frequently, but I did bust it out because, well, basically we were eating some pizza in its proximity, I ran to my knife case to continue the cutting with this, and so it's been out. And it is a great knife, and I'm also kind of going through a Spyderco phase. I just bought a CruCarta Native Chief from my buddy Shane of Edie American Bladeworks. I can't wait till that thing gets here. What a cool knife.Also in my pocket today, without a leather slip, is the beautiful Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow. This is the second production run of the Gateway Barlow. Gateway, the name of that series, implies the fact that it's inexpensive and it's your gateway to this wonderful brand that has so many different types of knives and lines of knives and finishes of knives. And of course, they have an awesome premium line, they're quite expensive, but if you like the designs and that fit and the super sharp and sturdy capability of a Jack Wolf knife but don't want to pay the premium for the finish and the materials, get one of these Gateway knives or their steel series, which is a step above this. This is a $75 knife and worth every penny. 14C28N, beautifully full flat ground. You've got a nail nick on that nicely designed, very traditionally designed clip point blade that has a downward angled straight edge that cuts great. It's almost like a recurve with that, but then you have that low belly and the low tip making it a very utilitarian clip point and also gives you a lot of belly to sharpen through over the life of the knife while still maintaining a clip point shape. So awesome knife, and I love mine in this Miami Camo Carbon.Next up on my belt, my old school TKell Knives Agent 001. This is from the first production run with the purple handle. This is still probably, pound for pound, my most carried T-Kell knife, my most carried Agent 001, though the new ones I've had from the latest production run, which were milled by NCC Knife Works—man, they're incredible. They're so good. And I've been carrying those, I've been loving the battle lock grip, but I was just sort of pining for the old school, for that purple burl G10, that proprietary G10. So nice. I love this knife. There's still some Agent 001s left from that run, I believe. The run they did in February, I believe. So if you like a perfect double-edged self-defense knife, a do-everything EDC knife, go check that out.And lastly, my emotional support knife, you may have seen it before, it was on screen a moment ago, but it's this beautiful Randall Made Combat Stiletto. It's the Model #2-7. 2 is the model, that's the dagger here, the combat stiletto, and the -7 part refers to the fact that it's a 7-inch blade. This is one that I like to brag about because it was a case of perfect timing, which is rare for me when it comes to grabbing desirable knives. But this one just happened to be at The Knife Center five years ago, at least, and it's the exact configuration I would have gotten if I ever ordered this knife. However, if you order the knife, you're waiting five, six years to get it from Randall Made Knives. So they just happened to have the knife I wanted in the configuration I wanted. I jumped on it, and I've never regretted this knife. It is so incredible. And, you know, the Model 1 blade, that Bowie style blade, that clip point blade gets all the recognition when it comes to Randall Made Knives, I believe, but this is one of the most beautiful daggers ever made. Look at that. It's gorgeous. Commando shaped handle and pommel, aluminum pommel, brass double guard, symmetrical double guard. Absolutely beautiful. You can get it in different configurations because it is a Randall Made knife, but you will wait six years.That's my pocket check. Tell me what you guys had. I had the Randall Made Model #2-7 , the Agent 001 from TKell Knives , the beautiful Gateway Barlow , and my special customized Spydeichef. All right, let's talk about Patreon, before we do, I want to show you the Agent series. I pulled them out, I might as well show them to you. Agent 001, the 002—this is the one I designed with Tim Kell—and then he's like, "I'm going to put new blades or different blades on these handles," and I said, "sounds like an idea to me." And that's the 4, and then this is the 7, the famous number 7 by Thomas Alas. Look at these beauties. I hear the 6 is coming out, the 5, the Bowie, the clip point just came out. I need to get that one, but this is the assortment of Agents that I have. Almost the full series of Agents. Go to theknifejunkie.com/tkell and order one for yourself.All right, let's talk about Patreon before we get to Knife Life News. I just want to show you the latest cool installment from Jim. It's The American Edge 250: The Reclaimed Edge. This is talking about when European steel in the form of European swords and such and other things that were brought over from Europe were reclaimed and turned into trade knives and other sort of early American knives. So cool. So this is a series about the 250th anniversary of the United States that Jim has been curating. Super cool material if you like history. Everyone loves history, right? And I think a lot of knife people are interested in history because look at the stuff behind me—this is all sometimes the lens through which we see things: art, or tools, or what have you. So go to theknifejunkie.com/patreon. There's all this really, really incredible historic content.

Bob DeMarco: First up, from the venerable We Knife Co., this is the Dracarys. And this one harkens back to the old days of We Knife Company when they first came out and they were doing a lot of proof of concept knives, a lot of show-off knives. Look at what we can do, you know? And early on they had the Dracon, like in dragon, and it had dragon scales milled into the sides of the handle scales. And just really, really beautiful contoured titanium with dragon scales in them. Very high relief, by the way. Well, the Dracarys is a tip of the hat to that. 3.6 inches of M390 blade steel. Beautiful, beautiful blade. Reminds me of a sharp finger or something like that. An extreme clip point that starts right at the thumb. I'm sure some of you are talking to your screen saying it's a drop point. It's not. That is a clip point. Really nice M390 blade steel. It's got a teardrop thumb stud, reminds me a little bit of the Microtech Amphibian. It's the only non-cylindrical, non-circular thumb stud that I find acceptable to the eye or to the thumb. It's that shape, so it looks beautiful on this blade. It also has a flipper tab, traditional four-finger flipper tab. Titanium frame lock. Again, as you can see from this aspect, here is beautifully contoured, so nice and rounded in the hand but also has these deeply milled dragon scales on the side. Really nice stylized dragon scales. Right-hand, non-reversible pocket clip. 3.66 ounces, available soon for $375.Next up from GiantMouse. This one is beautiful and exciting. Will I get it? No, it's a little rich for my blood. And I've mentioned many times I admire GiantMouse knives from afar. They are beautiful. Of course, that's the Voxnaes-Jens Ansø company. But Jens Ansø took off from the company after 10 years last year, so it's all now Vox et al. But this is a really cool one. This is a collaboration with the U.S. S.E.R.E. school in Reddington, Maine. The knife is called the Reddington. What is S.E.R.E., you ask? It's Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape. It's the training they give fighter pilots and other pilots and various people who are high-value targets and have specialty missions throughout the U.S. military. And it's a survival school that teaches people how to survive, evade, resist—meaning resist interrogation—and then of course escape capture. So this thing is really, man, it's a beautiful and impressive blade. 5.1 inches of MagnaCut. It's a very broad clip point blade. It's got a center spine row of jimping, which I think is kind of cool. Jimping, when you look at it closely. Finger guard and choil, slight thumb ramp, but that finger guard has a hole in it so you can make a D-guard with a lanyard going from the lanyard hole to the guard hole. Really, really nice looking knife. 3D milled canvas Micarta handle scales, so nicely rounded but not totally rounded, it's not going to turn in your hand. Full tang, this is made in Italy, available now with Kydex sheath for $425.Next up, Sencut, they have a new slip joint. I was racking my brain, did I have others, and racking the internet, and I couldn't find another slip joint from Sencut. I know Civivi has done it, I know We Knife has done it, but I couldn't—so correct me, I'm sure I'm wrong, drop one in the comments. But this is called the Sencut Braxx. B-R-A-double X. And it reminds me, I have to say, of a modernized Sod Buster. Doesn't it? I mean, look at it. This is 3.12 inches of D2 in a drop point. And for a slip joint, 3.12 inches is pretty big. Drop point with a pull on the other side, a machined pull. This thing has a Micarta handle, or you can get it in wood or G10, with steel liners. It's got the standard Civivi-Sencut pocket clip on it, which I think is handy. Let's face it, slip joints, it's nice to have a pocket clip on them because if you don't have a leather slip, they just bang around in the bottom of your pocket. It's kind of a pain. 3.55 ounces, so not the lightest thing in the world. Available now, $43.50 for this is the MSRP. A nice looking kind of modernized Chinese Sod Buster.Lastly, this one's another cool-looking slip joint, this is from Bear & Son Cutlery, a company we don't talk about too much. But I would like to have them on the show sometime. They are a company out of a family knife company out of Alabama, making all their—most of all their knives in the states. I'm not sure if they have a foreign line or not. This one they're calling the 4.5 inch D2 slip joint. Man, is that a handsome looking swayback. And not a small one either. Now 4.5 inches, that is actually the length of the handle. Now usually with slip joints, I'm used to hearing measurements in slip joints speaking about the overall length with the blade open. 4.5 has to be the handle because the blade itself is 3.25 inches of D2, a beautiful Wharncliffe, sort of saber ground Wharncliffe there. Comes in red or black G10 or a really nice looking blue denim Micarta. A very stout and short little chody clip there. I like the look of that clip, I have to say. Nail nick in the side for easy open, but it does look like you can pinch it open. [laughs] 3.6 ounces, available now, 90 bucks for this sucker. So that's the MSRP.

Announcer: You're listening to The Knife Junkie Podcast. Here's some cool knife history with The Knife Junkie's The First Tool.

Bob DeMarco: All right, let me—I have a few examples. [clatter] Sorry about that. See, all sorts of things happen, you never know. All right, I've got a couple of examples of things that are influenced by this next one, but I'm so glad to be talking about this. This is the Yatagan. So picture an Ottoman soldier in the heat, moving through a crowded street or a tight line of battle. At his waist is a blade that looks almost wrong at first glance. No guard, a pommel flared out like a pair of ears—not this one incidentally—and a blade that seems to bend in two directions at once. We call this a recurve. That is the Yatagan, part knife, part short sword, and unmistakably Ottoman. Museum collections describe it as a distinctly Turkish weapon, common across Anatolia and the Balkans, often carried by Janissaries, tucked in the waistband rather than hanging from a sword belt.And that shape is the whole story. A Yatagan usually has a single-edge, double or recurve blade and no cross guard. Instead, the pommel spreads into those famous ears in cross-section, helping lock the hand in place during a cut and a slash. It was compact enough for infantry to carry easily but still fierce enough to deliver serious chopping power up close. In other words, this wasn't a gentleman's sidepiece; it was a working blade for soldiers who expected to use it. What makes the Yatagan especially fascinating is that it lived in two worlds at once: on one side, it was a military sidearm of the Janissaries, the Sultan's elite troops, used from roughly the 15th into the 19th century. On the other hand, it could be astonishingly ornate and beautiful. Surviving examples in major museums like the Met in New York are adorned with gold, silver, coral, and ivory, and bear fine inscriptions. One of the earliest known imperial Ottoman Yatagans is associated with the Sultan Bayezid II, and another early example linked to the court of Suleiman the Magnificent shows just how luxurious these blades could become.The Yatagan was also a statement of status, craftsmanship, and identity. Then history turned, as it always does. In 1826, Sultan Mahmud II crushed and abolished the Janissary corps during the Auspicious Incident, ending the institution most closely associated with the Yatagan. But the blade's silhouette refused to die. In 19th-century Europe, that same recurve profile inspired the so-called Yatagan bayonet, showing how a distinctly Ottoman knife left its mark far beyond the empire that made it famous. That's the magic of the Yatagan. It sits right at the border between knife and short sword, between battlefield tool and status symbol. And this one is the Apoc Survival Yatagan Machete. It's called the Atreus. Really, really nice knife. And then here is a knife I've designed as a collaboration with TKell Knives, also based on the Yatagan, inspired by it. And this thing hopefully will someday make it to production. But both inspired by that beautiful Turkish knife that I love so much.Announcer: Why pay full price for gas and food?

I saw a great deal, I had to buy it. I've been slowing down on my just impulsive knife purchases because I have a lot of them, I have to get rid of some, you know? So unless it's a great thing, something I'm really into, I'm kind of like exercising discipline. Couldn't do it with this. I've been wanting this knife for so long, and it was on Amazon for 27 bucks, and I jumped on it. And I've used it all this past weekend. This is the Cold Steel SRK-C. C for compact. SRK is one of the most—and I'm going to use this word that I think is way overused—one of the most iconic knives that Cold Steel has ever produced. It's been used by countless outdoorsmen and women and Navy SEALS and military types of all ilk. And then recently, after years of serious success with that design, they came out with this smaller version. 5-inch blade and SK-5 blade steel, so that's a carbon steel, and but that same sort of contoured handle, everything just scaled down a little bit. And it's awesome. I love it. I've fallen in love with it really quickly. I kind of thought I would. I like it better than the regular SRK personally. If I'm going to go up to SRK size, I'd rather just have a Trail Master, frankly, but this is like the perfect on-the-belt knife for me.All right, let's get to it. Waveable folders. Now when I say waveable, I am using a someone's actual term. The wave comes from the Emerson knife. And when I'm really talk about waveable, I'm just talking about pocket deployable. So there's something on the blade that catches the blade—these are folders—that opens the blade as you extract it from your pocket. So when I say waveable knife, I'm talking about a knife that opens, a folding knife that opens as you draw it from the pocket without any extra effort from your hand.First, it's got to be an Emerson. So I'll show you not the first Emerson that had the wave, but my probably favorite Emerson in my collection. This is the Emerson Seax. But there is the wave. And that's why it was named the wave because it looks like a wave. So the story behind the birth of the wave: Ernest Emerson had gone from show knives and beautiful art knives into a more tactical style of folding knife and he was making some folding knives, fighting knives for a group of Navy SEALs in California. He added this thing to the top of the blade as a thumb ramp but also as a blade catch. Like if you're fighting someone with a knife, you're going to catch their blade and be able to, you know, torque it out of their hand or control it like a Spanish notch on a fighting Bowie. It didn't really pan out to work well as that, but they discovered that when they pulled these out of their pockets, that wave, that blade catch for catching your opponent's blade would actually catch on the pocket and auto-deploy the blade. And so the wave was born and patented. I like that the wave is larger—why if you have it there for that purpose, why make it any smaller than it needs to be? Emerson Knives Seax, one of almost all Emerson knives with that wave.Next up is from Spyderco and Byrd. My wife has a Spyderco Delica with the Emerson wave on it. I did not get that for this, I got my own and this is the Cara Cara 2 from the budget brand Byrd from Spyderco. Really nice knife. I got this knife because I was watching Scott Babb of Libre Fighting use this and I was like, "man, that is so cool." It's a nice inexpensive but well-made Spyderco style knife using that Emerson wave feature here. On my wife's Delica with the Emerson wave it actually has the patent number and a tip of the hat to Ernest Emerson on the blade there; this one does not since it's a Byrd. The Byrd knife has the opening hole, but instead of the circular hole, it's more bird beak shaped, I guess. This one has a really aggressive row of serrations deeply embedded in the contour of the edge and then it has this step up to that sort of little tearing edge there and then the rest of the sharp edge coming to a spear point. Byrd Cara Cara 2.Next up, this one has a different style of waveable blade. This is the Cold Steel Ti-Lite. Now this knife has—this is a tip of the hat to the traditional stiletto. You can see that, the traditional Italian stiletto. Now with these quillons they had an incredible opportunity as designers at the time. I think Phil Boguszewski designed this, but to reorient the quillons so that the top quillon was facing forward and the bottom quillon facing back. Which would, A, look right and B, function better when deployed because you would be able to press your thumb up against the jimped quillon like that as a thumb ramp. But they did not do that because they didn't want to mess with the Emerson wave patent, which if the quillons rightly—which is how they should have been—if they were reversed, it would have messed with that. So anyway, you can still wave it out of the pocket using the jimping on the fading side of that quillon just by drawing it and engaging the pocket—it works actually very, very well. This is primarily a defensive style blade, a long pokey stabby kind of blade. This is something you would definitely behoove you to wave open if you had to actually use it. If you don't, you can front flip it with that quillon too very easily using either the forefinger or the thumb.Next up is the 599 Fox Karambit. One of the—a knife that has pretty stiff action, so that there's no blade play, I keep the action pretty stiff on this. But the reason I don't mind is because I'm not pulling it out and flipping it using the flipper tab; I'm pulling it out and waving it using that wave right there. Fox Knives makes these beautiful, beautiful karambits—see there's the Emerson patent right there. N690CO. Fits great in the hand as just a hawkbill knife without the finger in the ring. It's a pretty nice setup with the finger in the ring though, slightly changes your grip a little bit. But nice for a karambit. I'm not a huge fan of karambits anymore, and I have the training version of this by the way, and this flipper tab is awful on your opponent. It just gouges and it's worse than the blade. I mean, of course the blade is aluminum and dull, but the flipper tab on the trainer is just gnarly. I've hurt people's forearms using that. But a great knife, I like Fox Knives and they do a lot of cool sort of Filipino-inspired and Malaysian-inspired stuff.Next up is a beauty from my friends at DC Blades. This is the Sting. And you can see an obvious place to wave the blade right there. And this is what you have, this is what you get when you wave this thing out of your pocket. An absolutely—well, it's beautiful. This whole knife is beautiful, I think, when it's open and it's also beautiful in hand. But look at that stunning blade. Nice Persian blade with a compound grind. I think bulking up the grind a little bit is helpful for tip robustness, but for me, it just looks cool. And then you add the swedge, oh it looks even cooler. Feels really, really nice in the hand in the sort of saber grip, but definitely designed and optimized for reverse grip. It's perfect, got perfect thumb placement for reverse grip including that little hollow right on that surface where your thumb can just dig in and pull back and you have ultimate control of this knife. This is OEM'd by Miguron, that's M390 blade steel. You've got sort of Pinkerton-esque jimping on that thumb ramp. Nice backspacer there. And then I'm a huge fan of this really handsome swirly G10 in these inlays here. The knurling of the titanium is very nicely done. This is the DC Blades Sting, a super cool waveable self-defense knife.Next up, super defensive, super ultra-defensive, a beauty from Dirk Pinkerton who does take advantage of this technology a lot. This is his Inversion. Now he—the first Inversions came out through Kizer and it was more of a reverse tanto style blade, and then he's done a number of runs through his own Pinkerton Knives private label and they're awesome. This is the Pinkerton Knives Ringed Inversion, so this is a run he did with the rings. And that ring is perfect. Perfect ring. You don't have to change your fist at all, it's sitting exactly where it needs to be. You can remove it and just use standoffs and have it like a non-ringed knife, a ringless knife, but this one to me excels in the ringed version. Now this is S35VN blade steel and I believe Artisan did the OEM work on this. He's an incredible designer. Look at this when you flip it upside down, you really see the contours and the profile, so nice. But this is a pikal style blade, meaning it is optimized for this reverse grip style of fighting. He on his knives often designs with a thumb plate, but he also offers this sort of wave that you can put on afterward or aftermarket. He ships them with his knives so that you have a waveable option and you better believe I use it every time.Next up, Emerson design but produced by Zero Tolerance. Zero Tolerance did three collaborations with Ernest Emerson. The 0620, which is what this is, the 0630, which looks like the CQC-8—so a curved clip point blade really nice—and then of course the most popular and beloved 0640. But this one has the wave and the Zero Tolerance 0620 and the 30 have these nice big generous waves. I like that the wave is large. If you have it there for that purpose, why make it any smaller than it needs to be? It also is a very generous thumb placement. But here's the thing: if you don't want to wave the knife open, you just pull it out like this, put your finger over the blade. This was the G10 and Elmax version. This thing's just great, super sharp, super great to look at and would be an incredible self-defense option.Third to last here, let me be careful as I close this, this one was my dedicated car knife for years. It was a gift from my brother-in-law, a former Marine, and this is the CRKT M16-14ZSF. And I believe that this was first made for Force Recon, Marine Force Recon, or they say special—I think that SF is for special forces. I think it had a Marine Corps affiliation. Anyway, you can see that the giant guard, the huge quillions on this 4-inch blade—this one is AUS-8 I think. Man, this thing is an ultra-robust knife. This is sort of an aluminum here, it's got a weird sort of wood pattern on it. Steel liners. It's got that double locks system so that's on spring. Really, really sturdy tough knife and that big quillion waves this blade out of your pocket like it's going out of style. So you need a quick auto-deployment knife, this is a great one. And one of the safest on this list because of the size of that guard. You do not want to run up onto that blade.Next up, this one's a beauty from Arcane Design, the Antimatter folder. Israel Bacchus and Arcane Design, very, very influenced by sci-fi, science fiction, that aesthetic and those stories, and you can see it on the beautifully sculpted clip. And you can see the Something Obscene Manufacturing logo there because he helped in the production of this knife. Anyway, look at this beautiful double-edge dagger. That's why this one has the novelty factor. It's the only double-edged folder I have that is not an out the front. This Antimatter just—well, it's one of the few and it is so beautiful. The handle is incredibly comfortable, those double choils keep it totally symmetrical but also really, really comfortable and secure in the hand. M390 on this and imminently waveable with these super cool quillions.And last up, is going to be a Cold Steel who has very much taken advantage of this concept and why not show you the biggest of them all, there's the Espada XL. Now, the Cold Steel version of the pocket catch is this Andrew Demko designed thumb plate. That thumb plate appears on many, many of the Cold Steel knives; I actually wish it appeared on more so that more of their knives could be waved open. But it is not only a thumb plate but it's a pocket catch. You can see the thumb plate is like two-thirds wider than the blade itself and tapering towards the pivot with jimping on the side, so it's definitely meant to catch onto your pocket to wave open. Now this one, this is a 7-and-a-half-inch blade. It is a long blade to be waving open. I find it makes me nervous to wave this open, quite frankly, because sometimes I feel like I'm going to stab myself. And I ordinarily don't feel that way. But it's big. You don't want to tag a dog's head or a kid or a person's leg or someone who you don't realize is behind you. With these larger knives, larger than 4 inches, waving it out of your pocket—you gotta be ultra-careful. But practice obviously is what it takes. Cold Steel Espada XL for the win. All right. Well, until next time, don't take dull for an answer.
