The Yojimbo 2 epitomizes the concept of the "tactical Wharncliffe." For users concerned with light discipline or those who simple prefer non-reflective blade finishes, this dynamic folder is now available in a low-profile all-black format. Its hollow-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, and all its handle hardware, including its nested stainless steel liners, standoffs, screws and four-position pocket clip, also have matching black finishes.

 Look at the Yojimbo 2 Thing flicks out so well just like any Spyderco blade for that matter right now This thing is currently on sale at the link in the description for One hundred and fifty one dollars. So just over 150 bucks. This is a full-size grip and if I put this right here, it's About the same size as the yojimbo 2 here Of course, it looks a little bit different because of the cutting edge You might get a little bit more of a cutting edge on the bench made because there is a belly to it Whereas this is just a straight wharncliffe blade the ergos are great on both of them However, if I had to pick a knife for self-defense, of course I'm going to pick the one that was basically designed for that now since we made the comparison in the beginning here We have the CRKT provoke. This is such a wicked knife I love this thing just for the design of it and how it functions If you want to check the video out that I've done on this knife You can find it in the description down below now comparing this right next to the yojimbo 2 It's roughly the same size But this one is used so differently that it's kind of hard to make that comparison for the most part You're gonna be holding this one in a reverse grip the reverse grip on this one Is actually very nice

My thumb has a pretty good purchase up on the end here And again, I'm not using this for self-defense, but feels like you could do some damage with it So there we have sort of an obscure Comparison now, I'm sure you're curious what knife I would pick for self-defense again This is not something that I really do all the time for the most part. I do carry a firearm I have trained with a few different blades out there one of them being this one right here Now this one stirs up a little bit of controversy because you can't actually get these anymore No one really knows what happened to the company

 It is a wharney Wednesday my dudes What's going on everyone back with another episode of stuff and things it is lockdown knife week another day or still inside We're gonna go right to the hashtag now. Let's see if there's anything that actually relates to what we're looking at today I'm waiting for the day that someone actually Post the knife that I'm making a video on here. We actually have a good one This is coming from Bob Margolis who I actually met a few weeks ago his two different Amtac Northman blades here He has the live blade and then of course a trainer This one's pretty interesting because they are self-defense style blades and I actually trained with these exact blades right here with Bill Rapier I don't have a whole lot of knife training under my belt However, these are blades that I have used specifically in self-defense scenarios training Of course, and you're going to end up training differently with whatever blades you have Also on the lines of self-defense We have this right here the CRKT provoke and this is a killer shot from my friend Peter McKinnon now Believe it or not karambit style blades like that like the provoke which I happen to have right here The original design for these was not actually self-defense They were actually designed as an agricultural tool to sort of like scrape at roots and cut things like low in the dirt They have obviously since been adapted to be a very good self-defense blade This is one that I've never trained with however, it's still along the lines of self-defense and that definitely relates to the blade We're taking a look at today. So this one has been in my collection for quite a while now I would say probably like six or seven years and of course, we are taking a look at the Spyderco Yojimbo 2 The Yojimbo 2 was designed by personal defense trainer Michael Janich I actually had the pleasure of meeting him not too long ago in person

 Although we didn't get to talk a whole lot It was really cool meeting someone whose knife design I love so much He designed this thing with some refined ergonomics to really complement the contour of the human hand now Like I mentioned the overall design of a self-defense knife like this is really going to dictate how it's going to be put into an Application some blades will have a little bit more crossover than others like the Yojimbo 2 compared to the Northman that we took a look At in the beginning, but others like the Yojimbo versus the CRKT provoke You're looking at a completely different knife there drastically different design means There's probably going to be a pretty drastic difference in how you use it As far as the specs go the Yojimbo 2 has g10 handles Which are very grippy and the wharncliffe style blade is made out of a CPM s 30 V The blade length is coming in at just over three inches a handle length of four and a half inches giving an overall length of Seven and a half inches the pocket clip is very standard for a Spyderco knife giving you either tip up or tip down Both left and right handed configurations Of course It does have a relatively large size spidey hole there to flick this thing open and then you can see it lock into place on The rear here with that compression lock Alright guys, here we go. Close-up. Look at the Yojimbo 2 Thing flicks out so well just like any Spyderco blade for that matter right now This thing is currently on sale at the link in the description for One hundred and fifty one dollars. So just over 150 bucks

Self Defense or EDC? | Spyderco Yojimbo 2

  Handle also seems slightly small for my hand in the primary grip...middle of fingers often on points and handle horns can jab base of thumb, on top of hindering Spydie-Drops (partially concealed hole doesn't help here either)

Close...

Pros; This is the sharpest knife out of my 20 plus knife collection. Lock up is perfect, fit and finish perfect. Blade is perfectly centered. Beautiful blade, and looks awesome

Exceptional quality, 3 year review

CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE 
The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. 

SHARPENING 
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur. 

CLEANING 
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times - this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher. 

HISTORY & HERITAGE 
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.".

America's Test Kitchen

Our previous winner turned in another gold medal performance: “Every slice is perfect,” said one tester. It was comfortable and sharp, with a long, tall blade that was “just flexible enough so you feel like it’s doing what you tell it to.”

Testers found this small knife best suited for more minor kitchen tasks such as slicing an apple. Its thin, bendy blade reminded us of a boning knife and, indeed, its flexibility and stature made it dexterous enough to easily and comfortably break down a chicken. However, this flexibility required testers to apply more force to keep the blade steady, which meant it took longer to chop onions, mince parsley, and cube butternut squash. This knife is well suited for someone who doesn’t have a lot of confidence using a traditional chef’s knife. But for those doing a significant amount of chopping, slicing, or mincing, we still recommend our favorite 8-inch chef’s knife.

Still the best—and a bargain—after 20 years, this knife’s “super-sharp” blade was “silent” and “smooth,” even as it cut through tough squash, and it retained its edge after weeks of testing. Its textured grip felt secure for a wide range of hand sizes, and thanks to its gently rounded edges and the soft, hand-polished top spine, we could comfortably choke up on the knife for “precise,” “effortless” cuts.

"There's a reason we have 20 or 30 of these in this kitchen," said a tester; others agreed, calling it "Old Faithful." They found it notably sharp, with "great maneuverability." In sum: "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."

Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife) Pioneer -will last a lifetime and can be passed down. It’s all metal, very classy. Not American made, Swiss made.

My husband turns 40 next month, and I’d like to get nice him a long-lasting (preferably American made) gift.  I’m not talking sports car or anything, but we do okay and it doesn’t have to be inexpensive.  I just want to get him something that will give several years of joy and use.  Has anyone received anything like that?  Thanks for your help

Suggestions for a nice present

 As that utters the tool useless if they break. You can work with it, but not long afterwords. My latest is the leatherman wave due to these problems.  UPDATE: I dont use this anymore as the scales broke off and the knife bent a little

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife, Black Victorinox Large Pocket Knife Clip Pouch, Leather Black 33210 Carrying Case (Pouch) for Knife - Brown   Update, 11/27/2020 Even though I use this knife every day, usually several times a day, it’s still just like new. Owning this model Swiss Army knife is like having a miniature toolbox on your belt.  This is the third Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp pocket knife that I've owned. I carried the last two SwissChamps in a black leather Victorinox Pocket Knife Clip Pouch (B000HJKT9Q)

 This leather case has a belt loop, rather than a clip. Before I ordered this pouch, I read a number of the many great reviews on Amazon. One of the reviewers, "Tool Collector," noted that the SwissChamp was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. "Tool Collector" suggested using Neatsfoot Oil to soften the leather of this case

 Wanting to avoid scratching the new knife's shinny new ABS scales, I purchased a bottle of Neatsfoot oil to have on hand for when the new case and knife arrived.  When I received my new SwissChamp, and the Swiss Army leather case, I was disappointed to see a number of large scratches on both of the ABS scales (grips). The SwissChamp, which arrived in a sealed Victorinox cardboard box, wasn't wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper, or anything else. While I'm not sure how the scratches actually happened, I suspect it may have occurred during shipping

Beautifully Made, Compact, Multi-Tool

 I would recommend the purchase of the applicable leather sheath. Although the knife is not excessively heavy it is a little bulky and more suited to belt carry for EDC use.

 but I think the scales are going to be a problem over time no matter how you carry it.

A valuable tool. 2 year review. pro's and cons

 I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it. And (2:) The Price. I paid at the time about $73 which is a lot but to be honest, even though you get a lot of functions, it seems a bit steep

 Not strong but flimsy plastic. It will no doubt break if dropped while open. I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it
