Pro tip: If you put a towel over the knives on the "shelf", they don't call out to you when you walk by.😉 I keep my extra knives in a tool roll where it's nice and dark in there, & they can't see me when I pass by. 👍
I've been collecting knives for about five years now. And in that time I have never wanted a Benchmade. That is until the "super" freak. And I must say it is quickly becoming my favorite. Great video as always.
Ive been collecting knives for about 10 years. However i only have roughly 5 knives. 2 buck 110’s, a becker bk-2, gerber paraframe, and a kershaw keychain knife of some kind. And a few swiss armys. And i have never wanted a Benchmade. I didnt care for the bugout. Felt cheap in hand.
I still have and use my Leatherman Wave that I bought in the summer of '99 while in the Army and in Kentucky. Still in like new shape as I tend to take great care of my gear and always have. Thanks for this video and good content.
The base level Freek with the rubberized handles is one of my favorites.. but it's not a good option if you wear jeans. I'd like to get one of the new Presidio's. They seem like a good deal for about $110.
Using Leatherman Charge TTI with S30V blade for the last 13 years. Best multitool ever saw and used. Used it a couple of times to break out of a storage building with a broken door handle. Used it for all in-home assembling (mostly IKEA) and adjusting stuff. Used the saw blade to cut small branches and make hide. Used the file to sharpen spear points! Using the blade regularly for opening boxes, letters and etc. I even used the blade for filleting and skinning FISH! That S30V blade only sharpened once (recently when I got my new sharpening system). So, the S30V blade held the working edge (paper slicing sharp) for 13 years! Ok, I am not using it every single day, but still, that is a very long time to stay sharp! If I had to rely on single EDC tool that would be my Leatherman Charge TTI. You may also consider getting one!
Ups and downs of content creation: I know them well. I've been on a stills photography slump for quite a while now. Sometimes time off is all you need. Glad to see you back and I have really been enjoying these videos.
Great video. I only have a Kerrshaw Barge for work and a Kizer Vanguard Begleiter for home jobs. But they do the job. Easy to sharpen and semi good edge retention.
Glad to see your taste come through on the odd bits. Crack me up. A knife I got for Christmas and have absolutely loved is the Buck vantage pro w/s30v. Not a buck fan boy. Normally like Benchmade, Spyderco and cold steel. Should try it. Best of luck, friend.
Just got the spide🕷chef and it’s kinda perfect. My top three would be my olamic whippersnapper, 🕷chef, and any of my full size reeves (maybe the umnumzaan)
I feel very similarly about my skeletool. I do need to get around to send it in for new wire cutters though. also I have no idea what you're on about, that channel trailer music video is amazing.
Great choices...I just recently acquired an atom love it... And I've been using a perpetua since the second version it's been a great knife They got a blue version now l also own the gray version need to eventually grab a spidie chef .... But the next one on my radar is the protech Malibu 👍👊
I have a brand new Blue Protech Malibu Gp knives exclusive acid wash blade i got two one I bought one my wife bought thw exact same it has never been flicked accept to take pics to sell. I don't have PayPal is my only dilemma. I am getting an atom shipped to me Monday I got lucky and got the gray g10 scales.
I recently acquired a sypdiechef during the MAP holiday. Between the TRM atom and the chef, I presently enjoy the chef more on account of the blade shape and geometry.
Hey love the channel... As a fellow Aussie... (Melbournian in Crazy-down at the moment!) I have only earlier this year started to get right into EDC.... Knives I have bought so far CRKT a CJRB amd Victorinox Tinker, I was wondering if the community could recommend where you and others buy your knives? Do you purchase from Aust retailers or America direct... Cheers and keep up the Aussie approach (and humour) to your content.👍👍
I hope that you haven’t done anything harmful to uncle randy. I know he can be tough on you at times, and sometimes, even a little “extreme.” But he’s a solid American. A true patriot. One dude I would go anytime to have a drink with, even if I was still working. Uncle randy is a great American. And as I write this, I actually carry a little lube with me at times... I’m ashamed. Tbh, what would a police officer think when they find lube in my edc bag and a bunch of knives. They’ll think I’m weirder than ol uncle randy, and I’m half japanese, so they would throw me in jail here in Cali. On that note, I’ll stop carrying the lube 😐. This was one of the first channels I found on UA-cam, with THE ABSOLUTE MOST BRUTALLY HONEST knife talk I have found. You are hip to the trends, but don’t always sync with them, you do your own thing while reviewing, and you think for yourself. Your level of creativity is very clear. And it’s very amusing for us. I actually save up my videos when you release them, so I can have the true “binging” effect I get with shows on tv. You are more entertaining to watch, than some of my mainline Comcast/Xfinity TV channels on major channels. We have forged in fire and some other knife making show and they’re ok... but this is effing magical what you do dude. For years I’ve been saying this to my friends who I try to get into knife collecting, or at least to have a feeling for what I’m always going on about. First place I point them is here.
missing you buddy glad your still going Ever since i got my Benchmade Crooked river and mini Crooked river i'v stopped buying and getting ready to start selling the 6 large spyderco cases i'v filled collecting . Have you ever found the knife that scratched the itch so well you lost Interests in the knife hunt?
Fine selection. No FRN backlock spydercos? I'm not sure why, but I really like this - maybe 'cause I'm having a G'n'T with lots of ice (it is summer here). Maybe do more kitchen+drinks+knives videos? Anyway: gonna cut some cucumber with my Endura now.
ima huge fan of my perpetua. my v1 blade on v2 handle just holds an edge so well and it comes back with stroping so easy. not to mention in polishes like a beast. I dont get it, it seems like 2 times the steel compared ton14c28n but when you look at the ingredients ya dont see it.
"I think I need to get a Spydie Chef..." *sees price* "...nope - nope, I really don't NEED one." :) :P Seriously though, my brother's a chef. That'd make a great gift, if I weren't a cheap-ass SOB.
Perpetua was designed by TJ Swartz, not Ferrum Forge(they'd never design something like this) and it has Nitro-v not Aeb-l. Very similar steels with Nitro-v supposedly having a finer grain structure than Aeb-l, though it being a low carbide razor blade steel archiving hardness of 64hrc I don't know how much finer you can get.
Maybe I'm just picky, but it's hard to get jazzed about a knife that uses thumbstuds anymore. I'd rather have a round hole, a flipper, or a front-flipper any day of the week.
OH MY GOOODNESSS!@!@!@@ 3:36 This is surreal ! ohhhh mannnnnn~!!~!~~ way to break the fourth wall there Pete that was pretty great! That just made THIS video, “the greatest video on the internet!” I’m pretty sure that benchmade’s heat treatment is done well enough to be trusted. Hopefully it’ll give the spyderco M4 steel a run for its money(or probably beat it since the angles will be either equally low or more EXTREME!)! UUUuuufff That KME stuff is not cheap brother; not cheat at all! My sincerest apologies to Tree for that. You can blame this one on me bud. I wish I was able to help you pay for it… it’s not like I don’t want to help with moniez. One day. Sorry bud. I’m still a student. To be fair; I haven't been bringing up CPM-M4 Steel EVERY single video hahahahaha ALSO! MORE RUST TESTING(could you try using key-lime juice too? They have those in Australia right? No offence hahahaha) AND DEFINITELY MORE DICKHEAD SURVIVAL VIDEOS BROTHER~! Why not try out the land at your new house for a DickHeadSurvivalVideo! I saw the two M4 videos you’ve put out the one about the military and that was pretty sweet! Those kinds of videos are neat & SINCE I’m here I might as well say EVERYTHING! One: I hope you start making money off micarta scales from your twisted sisal ropes! Two: have you ever considered trying out the buck 124 in particular or the Buck 620, 119, 120 or the buck 500? Three: I hope you continue to be happy making internet videos because you are awesome dude no seriously shut up yeah no yeah bro yes you are awesome ya absolute legend Sorry home slice I had to hahahah congrats on the new house hope all is well in life, and that you, Tree and your family are all having a good time in life. Thanks again. I wish I saw this video earlier(school is a vicious thing man)… I don’t know how to say it man: just dude sorry to hear about Cedric bro Big hug peace peace by the way this is me

I can't get behind the Freek. They ripped off Doug Ritter's RSK Mk1 after they discontinued it. Hogue is now making the RSK Mk1 for Doug, and that's the knife to have.
I do not understand what you are saying when you are naming your favorite knife. Trying to Google it, but impossible to get the spelling right from hearing you...
Nitro-v on the mass drop perpetua and was made by Millet. First version had non heat treated clip and liners.
anteck7goat hah, got about everything wrong there didnt I! Shoulda just called it a spoon and moved on - sorry folks! Pinned 4 correction
Lol also a bigger pivot head l see they got a blue version now 👀

The Super Freek, is Super!
I sold nearly every Benchmade I owned, once that knife got here.
👍🔪🍀😎
Same it was the first benchmade I bought and it’s awesome
I would suggest the Hogue Ritter Knife. Similar blade, better value, great steel, good lock.
Ive been collecting knives for about 10 years. However i only have roughly 5 knives. 2 buck 110’s, a becker bk-2, gerber paraframe, and a kershaw keychain knife of some kind. And a few swiss armys. And i have never wanted a Benchmade. I didnt care for the bugout. Felt cheap in hand.
The 940 and valet, they are my favorites🥰
Legend has it Uncle Randy lives behind The Shelf keeping a watchful eye on that Buck 110.
I carry my Skeletool cx all the time. in IT it's perfect for server and network device installs and so on.
I still have and use my Leatherman Wave that I bought in the summer of '99 while in the Army and in Kentucky. Still in like new shape as I tend to take great care of my gear and always have. Thanks for this video and good content.

The Banter is my go to knife when I fidget a blister on my hand from another knife. So insanely easy to open
This video never gets old

Who knew I would love pete taking a break from UA-cam? Totally worth the wait for new dank memes and sharp knives.
The shelf skit was quite funny and genius :)
Glad to have you back my friend. Hope that creativity flows.😊👍
Call that drink "the Uncle Randy".
well its kinda a girly drink, it should be called the Aunt Randy
I wish quality videos were a result when I would go on benders. Hats off to you sir. Do knafs not drugs.
The skeletool was my first too! No matter what knife I buy, I still carry this.
The k390 ladybug is so awesome. Can't wait for the dfly and delica to get the same steel
Great to have ya back mang 🤙
Great selection. A couple of these I absolutely adore. Especially the Freek and Drop🍻
I've never seen a Hondur Accord. It's sister company Honda is quite prolific though.
Haha ‘touch me on the butt’
I'm a new subscriber, by the way of Advanced Knife Bro.
I watched a couple of your videos and like your channel...cheers.
My hard use folders were the bolker kalashnikov but now is the spyderco shaman.
Excellent video! Thanks again 😎👍
The Banter is truly the most vanilla favored knife I've seen, no thrills, no frills.
Exactly! It's the least threatening non-grampa knife-guy knife. And it is stupid fidgety!
I feel very similarly about my skeletool. I do need to get around to send it in for new wire cutters though.

The heel of your spydiechef looks a little flat from sharpening so much. Mine is starting to look the same. It just shows a lot of carry love
25+ years.. same Sebenza in my jeans pocket.
It gets most summer days off when a CF Caly3 or a zdp Dragonfly step in for shorts duty.
With the folder game hitting home runs and grand slams,I’m happy with my Skeletool cx and pm2
Awesome video Pete.
Entertaining and informative as always 👌
Now that is the drink of a real man. But hey, let's be honest, we have all done it. Teenage party drinks, love em. Awesome review.
Have you been doing field amputations with that Spyderco Police?
This was great I really appreciate it. I'm looking for a TRM Atom!
Was the s35vn an upgrade on the banter? I thought they were nitro-v steel.
missing you buddy glad your still going Ever since i got my Benchmade Crooked river and mini Crooked river i'v stopped buying and getting ready to start selling the 6 large spyderco cases i'v filled collecting . Have you ever found the knife that scratched the itch so well you lost Interests in the knife hunt?
Is there a knife similar to the TRM atom that’s under $100? That being a liner or frame lock, over 3” blade that is thin and slices very well?
Bump up 30 buckaroos and get a spyderco manix 2. Flat grind, slicey as hell out of the box, strong lockup. Solid knife.
Fine selection. No FRN backlock spydercos? I'm not sure why, but I really like this - maybe 'cause I'm having a G'n'T with lots of ice (it is summer here). Maybe do more kitchen+drinks+knives videos? Anyway: gonna cut some cucumber with my Endura now.

When you get a chance I think you should check out the Protech Malibu. I think it's probably one of the best edc knives ever made.
And talk about ease of use!
@@LarryEMorse Yes! Fidgeting with the damn thing is so addicting.

"I think I need to get a Spydie Chef..." *sees price* "...nope - nope, I really don't NEED one." :) :P Seriously though, my brother's a chef. That'd make a great gift, if I weren't a cheap-ass SOB.
How many EDC knives must one have for them to no longer be a true EDC? I have about a dozen, and my pants are starting to sag from all that weight.
Get a decent belt and some suspenders and a belt with extra pockets.
That's actually a good point. If you have multiple "every day carry" knives, are you truly carrying them every day?
Keep shaking out the vodkies!
