This channel was created so I can share my thoughts on cutlery. Though not a review channel per se, you will learn about different knives. How to modify, care for, sharpen, and fix, as well as some history and insight all with complete honesty and humor. Comments about said humor are the most common. Videos need to be fun and light...right?! Otherwise, they are like watching Defensive Driving courses. If you would like to benefit from the experience of a lifelong knifeaholic, maker, and repairer (not sure if that is a word) then you have come to the right spot.
I have no sponsors and am beholden to no one. Anything I break is tossed in the trash and never sent in for warranty claims. My folly, my dime.
Thanks for watching!

Pocket Clip Problem Solved with This One Simple Change
Find out why I’m ditching pocket clip knives for good and switching to small fixed blades. Say goodbye to ruined pants! Good quality jeans are not cheap and once your pocket clip knife starts chipping away at the fabric at the top, and anywhere else it showed signs of wear, you are well on your way to destroying them. Watch and see just what they have done to all my favorite jeans.
Oh, and for you regulars with a sharp eye for detail, I actually made this video prior to the one about the cutting boards while wearing sunglasses. Really could have used them that day, but it was much more overcast and I could man up for a while. But, in hindsight, it was pretty stupid.

Which Buck 110 Fits Me Best? Uncover Now
Knife is very nice❤
If you need proof that knife laws are BS, simply compare laws in NY vs. Oregon. In Oregon, the knife must NOT be concealed, especially in regards to "automatic" knives (which I believe are entirely illegal in NY for no good reason) and fixed blades. In fact, in Oregon, there are very few limits on fixed blades as long as they are clearly visible - exactly the opposite of NY. Go figure.
I carried a940 for years but I lost it every other week. Went to a case sodbuster jr. Pretty happy with that.
Try a mora ... plastic sheath and clip for belt or pockets.... depending on size.
What belt clip are you running with that sheath? It looks molle compatible.
Small TekLok
Why? Bend the clip out. That's on you.
Lost a couple of folders with pocket clips catching drawstrings on jackets, (which I now remove). And, yes, seems like Carhart pockets fray worse than any other brand. Trying fixed blades and ultimate-clips.
I had purchased a number of knives when I was in a place that they were all on sale 59-69/% off So I got some Spyderco man bugs and lady bugs And BUCK PRINCE and 110 w/sheath I used the small ones as gifts and everyone that received one has raved about them
I always carry a clip-on knife and don't have any issues with the pockets being destroyed.
In California we aren't allowed to carry fixed blades😢😢
I never believed being told that pocket clips would cause you to lose you knife until it almost happened to me. Now I just take em off.
I love Bark River Knives, I however received a Highlander Special I purchased from Amazon. Very sharp, but the blade is like ⅜ " bent to the left!
I bought my first Buck 110 in the early 1980's. I gave that one as a gift to my younger brother and bought a new one in 2021. My EDC has been and is the Buck 110. I love them.
Bone should not cause chips!
You are absolutely correct!!
Ecxelente
Never had a problem with the clips wrecking my pockets. I like pocket clips for the convenience but think they are uncomfortable when using the knife for longer tasks. When I am working outside I will carry a fixed blade or a folder without a pocket clip in a sheath.
It's really my fault for constantly fidgeting with the knife and taking it out of my pocket.
@@knifetimestory well one advantage to a folder is the fidget factor
How/why does a pocket clip knife cause such a problem? Knife in or out of the pocket? I've been wearing knife "in" for decades and not one pair of pants has worn out the pocket before other wear made them unwearable. If the knife is too big to be clipped "in" the pocket then it probably would be too big for comfort while sitting in my office chair. So my "pocket" knife is smaller, and I have a large folder in the desk drawer, in the truck, in the night stand, down in the basement, and etc. for when bigger is needed. And did you say a knife on your hip is illegal? On private property? You need a new state. One day I was out working and needed to make a quick run to the gas station (about 2 miles round trip) to fill up the gas cans. It wasn't until long after I was back at work when the .357 on my hip snagged on a branch and I realized I had forgot to remove it before my errand. (Normally I feel "concealed" around town makes me less of a target should someone of ill intent happen to be in the vicinity.)
No, no no. That knife is LEGAL. Maybe I spoke too quickly, or you were listening to slowly.😂. Also… That kind of pocket wear is the result of 25 years of constantly playing with the knife that’s in my pocket. In and out in and out in and out and using the knife as a fidget toy rough estimate… 25 times a day. That creates a lot of wear and tear over the years.
While I like the BRK ULB a lot (I picked up two or three over the years), I do prefer the similar but somehow better for me BRK Mini Kephart (I picked up two or three of those as well over the years). All in 3V. Perhaps it's just that bit more of blade length. The sheaths mostly seem to be the version you ended up using. Slips into the front right pocket and carries well.
They sure do have a lot of choices. But...the sheath thing really irks me. Glad I have alternatives.
I don’t know how you all destroy your pants. I carry a pocket clip knife every day, and have for at least 3 decades. I very very rarely ever see any wear on my pocket. The pants wear out in many other areas long before I ever see anything on my pockets. Maybe it’s the quality of pants or the fit, I’m not sure but there has to be another reason.
Carhartt. Patch can be seen in the thumbnail. That's about 25 years of lots of in and out and washings.
That pocket clip thing is NYC not NYS... Autos/Balis aside, knife laws here are kinda reasonable IMO, especially by NY standards.
Nope. You are misinformed. Watch this and then tell me what you think. But watch it first. I won't debate the issue. ua-cam.com/video/A1407hA1Beo/v-deo.html
Hey, I agree, but I found a simple solution to the problem. I dont carry it using a pocket clip, but with a paracort at my belt. This means the knife is hanging down from my belt into the pocket. This way I dont even realize I have my victorinox swisschamp with me, but when I need it, it is right in my pocket 😊
That's a clever solution! Using a paracord for easy access is a great way to keep your SwissChamp handy without it being in the way. Thanks for sharing your method!
I was also looking for titanium cutting boards. A LOT of the Amazon listings claim 100% titanium then they mention stainless steel.
It’s definitely confusing when listings mix materials! Titanium cutting boards could be a game changer in the kitchen, but clarity is key.
Thanks. Oh, spend some money on your glasses and replace the right lens before it breaks more on damages your eye. Safety first.
😂 Thanks for noticing. Those are my outside work/saunter into the woods glasses. I promise I have a pristine pair for all the other times. Forgot to change for the video.
I’m still using my Buck 110 folding Hunter that I bought in 1972.
That's awesome! The Buck 110 is a classic and it’s great to hear it's still serving you well after all these years!
Nice, clean content. No surprise sponsorship, no demands for likes and views.
Wow. Thanks for noticing that. I really appreciate it. Oh, by the way, did you subscribe? 😉😂
@@knifetimestory I’m subscribed
Thank you. I was joking of course. I've found that without emoticons, I'm seriously misunderstood. They would come in handy in my everyday personal interactions with people.
The NY State knife laws are just another reason for Long Island to leave and form their own State
LI. I've been there and well, I'll admit I was in the western part and basically they are all NYC people who can't afford NYC. Perhaps the easter part is better. Used to be all farmland out there. Upstate is the part that should secede from the NY and form a new state. We get hammered tax-wise for NYC BS. And...we provide them with all their water. How about calling it North New York and then charging NYC for all the water and electricity it uses.
@@knifetimestory Yes Nassau County, the county closest to Queens(NYC) has many people from the City but they vote Republican as they have seen high property taxes, along with high electric rates too. Suffolk county has boomed in people not wanting the colder temps of Upstate, and they also vote Republican & most Dems are conserative in actions. The farmers are being pushed out and no one is on board with Gov "Huckleberry" plan for heating pumps and no fireplaces, or no gas stoves. The NYS gun laws don't favor law abiding citizens and NY is too lax on prosecuting crime in the "blue" cities. The DA's in the 2 LI Counties have been voted in to try to clean up the Gov's mess.
I most often remove the pocket clip from my pocket knives. Carry either in the pocket or in a belt sheath. Buck 110 is my most commonly carried knife.
I too vacillate between carrying my 110 in my back pocket or in the sheath.
@@knifetimestory I made a simple leather pocket sheath for my 110. Holds the knife and a pen or small flashlight securely. Actually, I made two: one front pocket (a bit bulky, but works well) and one for the back pocket (Excellent). The key with pocket carrying a 110, I find, is to keep it upright or vertical.
Being a pocket knife carrier for 50 years I noticed recently a big trend in smaller straight blades. From the street as well as what's being made available. Tried it, love it!
It's awesome to hear that you've embraced the trend of smaller straight blades! They can be really practical and versatile for daily use.
Clips destroy pants, leather chairs, vehicle finishes, doors, etc.... And it interferes with pocket carry of a revolver. Done with clips. I wear carpenter jeans and the tool pocket is perfect for my Spyderco.
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
subbed fellow upstater and liked the new studio lol.
Glad you liked the new studio!!! Thanks for watching.
I always put a shim on my pocket clip to loosen it enough so it still hold het doesnt wipe out your pocket
This is just my nervous habit of constantly taking the knife out, opening and closing it a couple times, every hour or so, over the last 25 years. But...I may try your idea if I decide to start carrying clip knives in any newer jeans.
Knife laws are just freaking stupid. I quit carrying pocket clip knives because I lose them. I carry a knife in my pocket always and usually one on my belt if I’m working. I have large hands and I think I was probably pulling the knives part way out of my pocket when just going after my wallet or what not then they would fall out later on.
I totally understand your frustration with knife laws! It can be challenging to navigate them, especially when you're just trying to carry a useful tool.
@ ahh useful tool. My wife’s pet name for me 😂
That is a problem with clip knives for sure.That part of the right pocket gets torn up before the pants are worn out and ready to be thrown away.
Totally feel you on that! It's so annoying when your pants give up before you do.
Odd. I've worn a pocket-clip folding knife for around 30 years, various makes and clip designs, and never once had one eating my pocket the way your pants are showing. Perhaps it's a difference in environment - I was a city/desk worker all my life, didn't have a chance to spend large amounts of time working outdoors, so maybe that makes a difference. But for me, this is a solution still looking for a problem.
Or...it is 25 years of constantly taking my knife out of my pocket only to fidget with it and then put it back in. It's really my fault.
Just lightly sand down the spot where the pocket clip land on the scale and maybe try to reduce the pocket clip tension. And for the pants already destroyed you can ask a leather worker for their spare scraps and make a new pocket lip with some thread and large needle. Just cut a large enough patch to cover the entire worn area.
Benchmade 940 is perfectly smooth, but when you obsessively take the knife out, play with it, and then put the knife back, tons of times a day, over 25 years, yes, the jeans are going to look like this!!!😁
@knifetimestory yes I know. I've got about 85 pieces in my knife collection that I regularly rotate. Only 1 pairs of my jeans look like this and I repaired it with the leather scrap suggestion I mentioned. Only difference is its the rear right pocket because I only carry my knives in my rear pocket. The knife that has done the most damage is my Emerson's
Beware of those Free Range Karen’s.
Excellent line. I believe I may use that someday...with your permission.
@knifetimestory Abso-freakin-lutly!
or....use a smal gas burner and bend the clip to the right strenght , but dissasamble it !
I almost lost a pocket clip knife once, kneeled down to pick something up off the floor. As I stood up I noticed my knife clipped onto a knitted blanket. After that, I always carry knife inside my pocket, especially aware of the expensive ones.
You're supposed to carry a pocket clip knife clipped inside of the pocket too tho?
great info! thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you found the info helpful! Thanks for watching!
I’ve owned a dozen different Sebenza knives over the years. I’ve moved away from frame lock knives and prefer liners and lock backs now. Sebenza is a great knife but not worth half of what they charge for them. Titanium is not a precious metal. Now I stick with Benchmade, Cold Steel and Spyderco for far less than half the price. Quality just as good.
Excellent points.
Correct! I would want to see a sheath or clip if I were law enforcement! Husband just puts giant knife in pocket! Not much sense but that's NYC
Nothing in NY makes sense.
The Cold Steel Luzon has a nice fat and wide clip made out of the handle material so it’s not a tight metal clip. It’s what I use for work and it doesn’t shred my jeans at all.
Thanks for sharing that. Good info.
Igot the Spyderco Manix 2lw in CT’s bd1n!! 👌🔪
Hey, thanks for watching. Hope you like the Manix!
@ ya I just picked it up and love it!!! 🔥
Great to hear!
I carry a Swiss army knife on a homemade clip made out of a large cotter pin and a fishing clip. It works great. I have it where it fits loose enough to slide over the denim easily. If you still have a problem with clips wearing out the top of the pocket, I would think the best course of action would be to whip stitch the area where the clip normally lies on new pairs of jeans and then replace the whipping if it wears out so that the denim under it would never wear out.
We would like to see a video example of this homemade clip you've devised.
@BoDiddlydodah it's so simple it doesn't need a video. It is a suspension clip. Hopefully this link will open a photo of it. It works great. I've been using one for years. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lvb6n1lvyiwq7o71bvc51/2024-11-22-12.01.57.jpg?rlkey=sigz0fmx8fcvcvpayxpjim87d&st=0b51e43q&dl=0
I’ve got to try that!
@@knifetimestory are you seeing a link to the photo of the clip (UA-cam doesn't allow photos in the comments section directly)? I posted it earlier and I can't find it now.
Yes, there is a visible live link. I always hesitate to click them. But since you followed up, I have clicked it and like the concept. Thanks for sharing that picture.
What kind of knife are you carrying? I carry a Benchmade 940 every day and have been for 20+ years. Maybe a little wear on some of my pants, but nothing to make me think it is destroying my pants...
Generally my heavily modified 940. But, in the video I'm carrying my again heavily modified Paramilitary 2 with 15V blade.
Get the made in USA not the china
Always!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thank You . I needed a good laugh.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
I got tired of shredding pockets too and just put a slip joint knife in my pocket instead. If I’m using a knife outdoors I’ll grab whatever knife is suitable but for constant carry a medium sized slip joint is fine.
😂😂 cheap
