Chris I know you've covered your knives many times, but us being your fans love seeing your blades. Even though some of them get purged to support your addiction, it's always nice to see what and why you kept certain ones. The 30sec review,,,,loved it. That Jessica BK7, wall piece for sure.
Chris, that is a great collection. You should be able to cut, craft and survive anything. Your videos are helping me narrow down my choices for a first bushcraft knife. Keep up the good work.
Hello Chris, Thanks for another great video, and thanks to Smoky Mountain Knife Works. We stopped in there a few months ago , our first time. Wow, an amazing store. A quick visit turned into hours. Take care, Ben from Nova Scotia
207 likes 1 dislike that says something!! Love you vids and fro some reason was intrested in your entire collection guess I don’t have to wander any more 😂 The secret word JESSICA
Your recon tanto is the best out of all of them😁😁😁...glad you kept it😊..its low key a good bush knife. Chops, feathersticks, notching, batons throgh hardwood, strikes ferro rod, food preps pretty good, stabbing power,easy to sharpen up sharp,defence,tough as nails, 5mm thick spin and best yet its cheap😏
truly enjoyed this video Chris, hope you might consider doing the same kind of video in the near future for folding knives, and also flashlights, and even multi-tools ...or other themes/subjects to further educate the world on what makes/models of various EDC gear are not only truly worthwhile over the long haul, but also are keepers too. thanks again.
Any knife collector knows occasional rust is inevitable. Those rust erasers Smokey knife works do a fantastic job cleaning up your blades. Polishing up brass gives a nice shine. Shout out to them. Thanks for sharing your collection. Just might have to try your challenge with my Buck collection.
Great job! I can't even say Hello that fast! Love the collection! I'm jealous! I gave 3 knives away for Mother's Day. Can't stand when a mother doesn't have an EDC! Thanks for the GAW and the "Knife Show"!!
Chris, I really appreciate you sharing. I don’t make UA-cam videos, but if I start, I think I will accept this challenged. I have a few knives myself including some US made Schrade low production run knives that most people have never seen or heard of. Schrade Avatar, one of my favorite EDC folders, with a serrated blade and a fine blade. Have 3 or 4 Survive knives in LMax, several Tops (no TB Tracker yet) and a handful of Benchmade, Spyderco etc... I do have any Bark River knives, but I do have a Brian Evans original with three sets of scales. Thanks again for all the reviews!
Nice group of blades. I used to play the video game Turok in the late 90's. Esee 6HM, oh yeah. Cool surprise for viewers, appreciate it. I have a JX5 on pre-order!
G'day Chris, I missed the GAW but then I don't watch your videos for GAWs. Thank you for this, disciplined, look at your knife collection. What surprised me was the similarity between your stash and mine. I don't have the interesting multi-function blade design knives you have but apart from that I'm heavy on your knives (except the JX4 - don't get me started!). I'm also heavy on LTWK and DLT blades, both of which I adore for their handles, fit and finish. Like you, I love big, beautiful knives with super steels. Then there's my 1911 which is so precious to me because it came through the wonderful folk at Dark Timber Brotherhood (via DLT) and they put a DTB etching on it for me. As I will never be able to get one of Pete's customs; that 1911 will go to my grave with me. I've even got one of those brown leather baldric carry slings with the brass fittings. It is the most beautiful baldric out there. I'm so honoured to have got to make friends in the US knife community; a better bunch of people I've yet to know. Finally, I really enjoyed your 30 second challenge, testing yourself like that was extremely entertaining! Thanks, mate! Cheers, BH
I spoke with TOPS customer service just a couple days ago. They replied that should be releasing the Tops SXS the little version of the SXB sometime soon. Cant wait.
Just wanted to say really enjoyed this video. But I enjoyed most all your videos. I'm a relatively new subscriber ran across your videos and really enjoy the honesty and lack of other people's opinions. I watch to hear your opinion and base my own opinion on that. Keep it up and keep it fun!
This was a good video to show the range of what's available all in a half hour. I'm always on the fence about what size or shape so being able to see them one after the other was a big help. And thanks for the giveaway!
Hey Chris, my fantasy GF Jessica has a huge knife collection, a cabin in the White Mountains, and is an expert brewer. She’s working on her short-comings.
I always like your compilation overview review of your Jessica list collection. To be honest, I missed it since last 2 year you did the big one bag of blade.
Hello Chris... looks like a fine collection. I look forward to these type of 'refresh down memory lane' videos and often save 'em to my knife list... helps me recall so many of the names of all this hardware.
Recovering from cancer and would love to have one of the give away knives to look forward to getting outside! Just wanted to also let you know that I have really enjoyed your channel over the years. Thanks Chris!
30 seconds... turned into 30 minutes! Happy I watched all the way so I could get my WINNING entry. TNX for GAW. Looking forward to getting a new knife.
My buddy showed me his jx4 when we went camping and I fell in love with how it felt in my hand. I’m torn between the jx4 in 154 vs a bark river aurora 2 and or mini. I just might have to pick them all up sometime in the future but I’m scared their going to get discontinued before I get my hands on one. It’d be a great first fixed blade edc for me
You know you have a problem when you have “categories “ of knives. Lol
I don't see any problem here except maybe storage...
Chris I know you've covered your knives many times, but us being your fans love seeing your blades. Even though some of them get purged to support your addiction, it's always nice to see what and why you kept certain ones. The 30sec review,,,,loved it. That Jessica BK7, wall piece for sure.
Im sure Jessica would LOVE "TUROK" any of those knives!
Chris, that is a great collection. You should be able to cut, craft and survive anything. Your videos are helping me narrow down my choices for a first bushcraft knife. Keep up the good work.
Great video! I am post surgery stuck at home and this made my day!
@ablackprep thanks man
Wow man, speedy recovery and get well soon, your knives and family miss you.
@@timpande6900 lol thanks Tim
@@davidkurle5418 lol
I got the Tops Backpacker’s Bowie about a month ago, and I absolutely love that knife. Going to be a keeper for sure!
I missed your big bag of knives vids. I thinks you should revisit it and do an update!
Chris I am loving the 30 second knife reviews, you should do something similar with other gear (flashlight, multi tools etc.)! Keep the videos coming
hey Chris thanks for the many videos I actually bought my BK7 because of your videos .
Love your vids, got my HB and Grizzly from DTB because of you.
Now we’ve got to see a 30 sec per knife video review for all of your folders!
OMG There was no BK9! How could you... Just kidding, just kidding. Great vid.
"i don't like showing my knifes"
Beep beep (alarm sounds).
"I really wanted to keep going on that one!"
Always appreciate your giveaways. Thanks, Chris.

The Dream Team for me would be the Bark River Machete, The Bravo Tope Recon, and the Bravo LT
Great to see what people who use knives all the time keep around in their collections
I like the surprise idea, very cool. I like the 30 second review concept as well. Lots of awesome blades to see. Totally have to get a Jessmuk.
Awesome video Chris. I'm glad you still include the BK7. That's still my go to survival knife. It's never let me down.
I spoke with TOPS customer service just a couple days ago. They replied that should be releasing the Tops SXS the little version of the SXB sometime soon. Cant wait.
Oh boy I love surprises!! Thanks for the opportunity chris!!
Awesome round up of your current collection. I love all your bark river blade.
These vids are great because we get to see what stands the test of time. Thanks for the update.
Nice format to handle your comments, and wrap up your sweet collection timely manner.
I’m in.. would love to have either one. 30 seconds is a nice twist. Harder that it looks
No rust on a Jessica. Thank you for the look in the knife vault.
Great video, very reminiscent of the early days! Thanks for giving back to the fans!
Its always sweet to see an update on the collection and see what sticks around. Thanks for the vids.
Thanks for the opportunity!!
The dark timber custom is really a beautiful fixed blade. Wish I have something as nice in my collection.
Just wanted to say really enjoyed this video. But I enjoyed most all your videos. I'm a relatively new subscriber ran across your videos and really enjoy the honesty and lack of other people's opinions. I watch to hear your opinion and base my own opinion on that. Keep it up and keep it fun!
What a fun video!!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Another great video, Chris. Thanks for another chance to get my hands on a fun new knife!
Nice collection of steel.
Awesome collection...the custom Jessica is amazing!
I really need to up my collection after seeing this... Simple but entertaining, love your videos!
This was a good video to show the range of what's available all in a half hour. I'm always on the fence about what size or shape so being able to see them one after the other was a big help. And thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome video. Can't wait to see who else shows off their collection.
Always jump in on your giveaways, Chris - nice quick run-through of your keepers, too! (Knew Jessica would make an appearance.)
Great collection. Love the Bark River PSK.
I love listening to your knowledge of knives and value your opinion and design of knives I appreciate it a lot as an aspiring blade smith and designer
I like most of the bark river you show in this video. Nice effort on showing it us your stash!
Knives knives knives....never gets old Chris thank you sir
Thanks for the give aways. And it is always good to see what you have kept over the years
Excellent review and video, as is always the case. And yes the Lon Humphreys knife is a masterpiece. All written in less than 30 seconds.
Love these long knife videos! Thanks for the GAW!
The struggle was real, with only 30 seconds per knife. Fun video. Jessica says we love GAW chances!
Hey Chris, my fantasy GF Jessica has a huge knife collection, a cabin in the White Mountains, and is an expert brewer. She’s working on her short-comings.
So many knives so many options to carry. Your Jessica list knives are most of my grail list.
Watching all these knives made my mouth watery
I always like your compilation overview review of your Jessica list collection. To be honest, I missed it since last 2 year you did the big one bag of blade.
Thank you Chris and SMKW for the opportunity to win.
Thats a pretty great selection I'd say. I'm envious. And that was one heck of a surprise!
I love this knifeporn cumpilation! Great collection you sir have there!
Good stuff...lots of money spent here....but true joy is PRICELESS.
Well now, that was fun! I have a few of those. Want a few of those. And will probably end up buying a few of those!
Always appreciate your giveaways. Chris, thank you.
Awesome collection Chris. Keep up the great work.
Loved this format nice to see what you keep.
Thank you smkw! Thanks you Chris. Love your big blade collection.
Hello Chris... looks like a fine collection. I look forward to these type of 'refresh down memory lane' videos and often save 'em to my knife list... helps me recall so many of the names of all this hardware.
Great bunch of knives. Loved the first dark timber.
Thanks Chris, I enjoyed this alot.thats quite a pile of knifes you got there.
I loved the 30 second perimeter. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Yeah, I was surprised that was all you kept, but those are all fine looking blades!
Recovering from cancer and would love to have one of the give away knives to look forward to getting outside! Just wanted to also let you know that I have really enjoyed your channel over the years. Thanks Chris!
Good fun Chris ..enjoyed this style much ..thanks brother
30 seconds... turned into 30 minutes! Happy I watched all the way so I could get my WINNING entry. TNX for GAW. Looking forward to getting a new knife.
You sure have the best collection of bark river and other great knives I've seen I love them all !
I love to watch your knive reviews. Please keep it up!
i liked them all especially the EEESE 6 with the black handle
Excellent curvature to the bill of your hat. Well done.
Thanks, Chris, for the GAWs
What does it mean to be on the "Jessica list?" And why do so many of the knives have Jessica related names?
not sure I could part with those knifes either ... thanks for the little show-and-tell
Love the videos and appreciate the information very much and all the helpful tips. Keep up the great work
Always appreciated!
Either one of those two blades would be an awesome addition to my camp kit!!
It may not be a really large collection but (with one or two exceptions) a very, very nice one.
Nice collection Chris, a lifetime of collecting
Huge fan, Chris. Picked up many of your recommendations. You and Gideon burn up a lot of my free time 👍
The GAWs are always great. Thanks for allowing us into your knife life!
You have a great knife collection there. I still have my BK7 because of your videos in the early days of your channel.
Going to SMKW on Friday for A LOT of blade therapy and to treat myself on my birthday
BTW....I like your collection
I enjoyed it when you go outdoor and show us what the review subject can do. Hope you get well soon and do more outdoor review.
30 second reviews, but still 30 minutes long. Awesome stuff
Awesome collection and another great video. Thanks Chris !!!
Great collection Chris. I love videos like this to see actual knife users and the knives they own, not just what they review.
Very nice collection love those dark timber knives ive got few folding knives but im gonna have to start a fixed blade collection
Great looking collection Chris.
My buddy showed me his jx4 when we went camping and I fell in love with how it felt in my hand. I’m torn between the jx4 in 154 vs a bark river aurora 2 and or mini. I just might have to pick them all up sometime in the future but I’m scared their going to get discontinued before I get my hands on one. It’d be a great first fixed blade edc for me
I’d mainly use my knife mainly for whittling food prep and various camp chores since I go to the upper peninsula quite frequently.
Based on what you're trying to choose between... I'd say go with the JX6
Loved seeing what you kept. Especially nice to see some of my old favorites again like the Peterfied Orginal Jessica.
