Agree ... I was tempted to forward this vid to some neophyte cutlery guys. However, you have to be fairly familiar with the blades shapes to be able to follow his logic. The video is, therefore, relatively uselss for those folks. I doubt they'd watch more than a couple minutes of it.
Only because I recently had been watching knife videos, I could follow along. Though the descriptions were good, I could see how it’d be hard to follow.
It would have been easy to have a board on which to draw those curves and make it more evident. Some were not clear at all for someone getting to the subject for the first time. Drawing with your finger in the air does not do it well. Basic teaching tool.
Benchmade coined this marketing term "Reverse Tanto" for the release of the 940 in 2000. They wanted to take advantage of the success of Cold Steel's success in their Tanto models. However, even considering the illogicality of this name should be enough to know it cannot exist. Where is the secondary tip, and edge? Why doesn't this shape show up on knife shape posters, or mats before the year 2000? The Shape already exists and has since the mid 1860s. It is the K tip, or Kiritsuke. Do not let members of the knife community lower its standards with this type of shape naming nonsense. Otherwise my Kizer Chili Pepper is now a "Reverse Hawkbill", or an original Japanese Tanto is a "Reverse Sheepsfoot".
Haha thank you for writing this. Spot on. I remember first hearing the word reverse tanto and thinking huh that is the same shape as my kiritsuke or bunka that I use in the kitchen. I guess "Benchmade Pocket Bunka" just doesn't have as cool a flow
Owns a knife company, makes educational video to teach about each knife type and their uses. Decided to use hands, not knives, to demonstrate their shape. Can you really blame him though? I mean who realistically has access to that man types of knives?
Great info. Need actual examples for us visual guys
great video, some pictures to illustrate would have been nice
Yeah but who could have access to all those kinds of knives..
Thanks for going over these knifes. Knowledge is great to have. Keep up the great craftsmanship Josh.
Looking forward to owning a MKC product.
Cheers for the crash course on blade types matey. Very educational indeed.
🙌🙌🙌
The hawkbil was designed as a pruning tool for pruning fruit trees.
Great explanations, but would be nice to see the actual knife. Not a video for a beginner.

It’s cool to put an actual name to the knife types. Thanks
Other than the erroneously labeled "Reverse Tanto" which is a K tip or Kiritsuke.
You must be kidding. Making a video about knife shapes without showing knives 😮

You should show the knifes you are talking about.
I have just bought 3 of your knifes.
Awesome video, would have love to see edits in the video showing each knife style.
Thoughtful review. Agreed: not a fan of gut hooks.
Great info. Love your stuff.

I have a skinner set from track knives it’s really old.
What shape is the speedgoat?
An image or two would make the video informative and quite shorter.
to bad he did not show examples of the blade styles
It’s kinda Russia is a country in a place called Europe with people living here. Who’s in for a Cammela MKC model no tax on pointy tip?

Appreciate the expertise, but next to useless on this platform without illustrations or actual physical examples of the knife type being spoken about.
Even in Montana we need photographs to illustrate the discussion. Lacking illustrations or photos this UA-cam is worthless
spey?
wrinkler knives
No offense but we’drather watch a video of knife sharpening, making, using, and displaying while you’re talking
I'm trying to learn and would like to see the knife while explaining. If you know the terminology, you probably know what it's used for.
Great info. Love your stuff.
