What other types of knives would you like to see? Let us know in the comments.
I was very interested in the filet knife as when I travelled to Greece on the annual holiday I wanted to take a sharp knife to the self catering place we go. The ticket is 50 pounds cheaper with hand luggage only so I have resorted to just talking a diamond sharpening plate and sharpening the knives in the apartment complex. The design is very similar to the one i thought of in my head. I am always trying to fix things
I've been searching for the old spyderco yukaza. Was plentiful back in the day but very hard find now
I wonder if CRKT purchased the rights from Marbles to use the Safety Folder design for that Filet knife ?
Very interesting and fun video.
I've been collecting knives for over 50 years myself and have always been interested in them.
I decided to subscribe to your channel ! ☺️🤗👋
Smith & Wesson model 6042
The last knife you showed was the same one I carried at school as a kid. Got caught with it but they couldn't open it. So I didn't get kicked out of school. It's been along time since I've seen one. Thanks for the memories.
That's a great story! Thanks for sharing!
Bro that’s illegal
@@ConnorM2007 only recently. dont be a karen now
@@ConnorM2007 dude chill not like he used it on someone no harm done heck I've accidentally brought a large knife clipped on my waistband with the knife faceing out to school in 5th grade once lol didnt get questioned about it all day then at end day I squated to put a book in my bookbag and I heard a clack from my knife hiting ground and remembered and snatched it off my waistband and threw it in my backpack realy fast I actuly done it 2-3 times idk how I wasnt caught
Did you drop it in the dirt?
I didn't know that CRKT was an acronym until today... Learning every day.
It just felt right as a name for a knife company as it is
Yep. I've also heard it pronounced "cricket"
I also own a roll lock knife. I believe that the brand is "Benchmark" not Benchmade. I bought it from a gun shop in new condition with a nylon type belt pouch with a velcro closure strap that, when pulled, partially extracted the knife, making it easier to get a hold on, in the factory packaging. I'm going from memory just now, regarding the brand, as it is packed away. Thanks for the informative showing of innovative designs of the time.
Maybe it is Benchmark. It was awhile ago. Thanks for watching!
It was Benchmark...a relatively small knife and tool manufacturing plant that on occasion tooled up to produce a limited number of these "roll lock" knives. A beautiful example of an American made knife (this is going back 30 years ago). I don't believe that the company exists today.
I also have a benchmark rolox my dad got in the 90’s it has cocobolo wooden handles and a leather sheath
@optimus crime did you not watch the video?
I've got several Benchmade knives but never heard of benchmark
I remember those belt buckle knives, every kid in the 80’s around my neck of the woods had those. I think I had two or three of them. Couldn’t tell ya what happened to them either a lot of moving around back then.
Fun stuff
Very cool. That frost cutlery knife is pretty rare now. Its a Barry Wood design.
Thanks for the info, and for watching. I always thought it was a pretty cool knife.
Anyone else made a similar design I wonder?
Great video! Love the honest simplicity of the cardboard display. Just knifes with nothing taking away from that!!
@Dad's Knives - I absolutely love that belt buckle knife. Would like to see more innovative knives that have been ingeniously concealed in various clothing accessories.
Great video. I'm a beginner knife collector and this was very informative for my future findings. Thank you sir.
Glad to help! We've got more videos about other types of knives as well.
The minuet you showed the last knife that you push the blade and it popped open I knew I owned that at one time. I have no idea where it is. But now I’m on a mission to find it. I loved the video. My grandpa use to have a box with “stuff” in it. I loved pulling that thing out and going through it. God bless you man. Great memories you bought back for me.
Thank you, glad to share a memory!
I'm 37 and I too remember going through the "Grandpa Box" of cool old unique stuff.
Sadly future generations won't be able to discover the Joy of things like this.
They either won't care because it doesn't have a screen, or Grandpa's stuff is mass produced Chinese garbage.
Gone are the days of small family run boutique shops making unique quality items.
Hell, just to get a decent blade these days you have to shell out damn near $500.
And that is just to get your foot in the door when buying a quality knife.
@@tylerwilliams6022 I couldn’t agree with you more buddy.
I'm not gonna lie, I came here for the knives but I think I'll come back for the man reliving his memories through steel.
😁
I found that silver Sheffield funny folder in my grandfathers tool chest when I inherited it. Took me for ever to figure it out.
Very cool and good to hear the story behind them too. Seen most of those, but always cool to see a new style.
The Frost swing handle knife is a copy of the Barry Wood knife...beautiful knives but a bit pricey at the time as they were essentially hand made. There are still a version or two out there today with Barry Wood's swing handle design.
My uncle had a big collection of knives. Amongst them were a few of the Colt Swing Knife that are like the Frost Cutlery knife. I was allowed to choose a few knives and that Colt Swing Knife is now in my collection.
It's so much fun watching people's faces when I open it. It's my absolute favorite!
It's a fun design, for sure!
I love these unique opening mechanism knives I have most of these and whenever I see 1 I add it to my collection
They really are fun, aren't they? We have a few more interesting ones coming up soon.
Thanks for sharing. Ill be having a look at your other videos. Nice one!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i really like that last knife, simple design and for a trick knife, hard to figure out for someone that doesnt know about it
I have two of the knives in your collection. My Dad frustrated people with the last trick knife you showed 45yrs ago. He gave it to me for my collection years ago. I also bought a CRKT roll Lock 2 knife a year ago or so
Very cool! Thanks for showing!
i love to collect as many different sorts of knives. browning makes the "easy money" which is also that swivel type of opening. apparently it's an old design and one of the earlier technologies for one handed opening. i love that gerber belt buckle knife! love those odd crkt's. they're so willing to do stuff that's out of the box!
Thanks for the comment! These "trick knives" are some of the most unusual knives I've come across.
I have the Gerber belt buckle knife and I wear it every day . I had to customize it, it liked to pop open on its own pretty regularly.
Cool knives . Thanks for sharing
That's cool, I think those are pretty rare these days. That could lead to quite the awkward moment if it popped open randomly.
Very cool knives! I really like all the mechanisms designers developed all these years. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video, great presentation. I have one of those knives at the end with the gravity sort of lock. That Rollock knife is super interesting, I wouldn't mind having one of those, but I wouldn't carry it! I love unique opening and locking mechanisms.
Glad you liked the video! I love hearing from people who have or have seen the knives in our videos.
All obvious except last. It got me.
I have a small thumb-flick knife anyone is able to open, but surprysingly many people can not close (like 80%) it has a build in lever/spring that needs to be pushed sideways and at the same time is a part from the inner knife body. Very compact but very useful for everyday purpose.
I really love small knifes with clips
Nice. I cover a similar knife in this video, see if it's the one you have: ua-cam.com/video/o0Sb9fXVHxI/v-deo.html
I got one of those Clark fork crkt knives for my cousin for Christmas. He loves it and still uses it regularly
Fascinating video! Very much enjoyed it. Thanks from a fellow blade addict
Glad you liked it! We've got more coming
those are a great set of unique knives.
I have a knife that opens very similarly to that last one, but the orientation doesn't matter. It's a CRKT Yea-Go I believe. You just push in and quickly release to deploy the blade. Interesting looking knife, hardly anybody figured out how to open it on their own.
Great great video and so interest that travels you in the past periods and how the makers thoughts. Thanks a lot sir!!!
You're welcome, glad you liked it!
@@DadsKnives Thank you so much for your kind reply!!! New sub.
Had all of these as a kid ❤️
That last knife was very interesting. I liked the shape of the edge
Excellent video. Those are some very unique knives you have there.
Thanks, glad you liked it. There's more where this one came from
Major kudos for the Rollock. A couple years ago I found one at a flea market in near perfect condition wearing the blue scales.
Nice find!
Now that was fun and informative... Thanks Boss.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a fan of CRKT, I own a number of knives from them... They produce unique, high quality tools at a great value IMO. Great video!
Glad you liked it! CRKT does make some good knives.
Moderate quality at best. More flash than function
I'm surprised you didn't bring out a CRKT Fulcrum. I love those knives.
I don't have one but I've heard a lot about it
Very kool collection, thanks for filming
Glad you enjoyed it, we've got more coming!
Wish I had known about that CRKT fillet knife, seems its discontinued everywhere now. Would be fun to have along kayak fishing. My EDC is a CRKT too, love their value and function.
What sort of bait do you use to catch kayaks.
@@Trev794 they're not picky eaters, it's the line strength ya gotta worry about.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome, glad you liked it!
My daddy had the last one he’s passed almost 2 years ago and I just came across the knife I carried in my pocket all day yesterday, I kept trying to open it and I heard the mechanism moving inside but it wasn’t opening so I gave it a tap on the table and it came open it must have been a bit stuck. Thanks for the video it assured my I remembered correctly😄
I thought I had a trick knife once... Turned out I was just really weak lol
Hah!
That was really interesting 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to share such a cool collection!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool. The last one i actually own a very similar one. Got it from my granddad years ago
Nice to see a Gerber Touche :) Loook out for Humbug Knives, like the last one, sometimes have a ball, sometimes have a bar ;)
I have a frost knife similar to that! Never thought I’d see another one they’ve been hard to find info on
It's always cool to make that type of discovery!
Those are really cool knifes! Thanks for sharing your collection
You're welcome, glad you like it!
Thanks for sharing, Dad.
You're welcome! 😉
This brought up some memories.
I got expelled from a school because of a trick knife I was borrowing from a schoolmate.
One side folded out, and slid the blade forwards, and the side locked back into place, inverted.
Took 'em awhile to figure out how to open it. I was hoping they never would.
Sounds cool, sorry you got in trouble for it!
If I could choose one of them, I would have the one with side panels of wood. a beautiful knife.
It really is
2nd and 4th one are amazing
Imperial made loads of those trick knives from probably the 50's through the 70's or so.
I bought one from a vendor at a flea market when I was a kid. Mine had a black plastic scale on one side and a white plastic scale on the other. Not only did the guy show me the trick to opening the knife, but he also taught me a rudimentary slight of hand movement to make it appear as though the entire knife changed color - from black to white or vice versa - when showing it to a friend. So it was really a two-trick knife.
That last knife was sold at magic stores during the 60s through the 80s at least and probably much longer. It was marketed as a "astound and fool your friends" type item. They were usually painted or anodized but due to their cheap build quality the coatings would wear off quickly.
Interesting, thanks for the info!
That Frost Cutlery knife was a copy of a design that was made by a custom knife maker by the name of Barry B. Wood. I had one of his knives back in the 1970's. I got to where I could flick it open and closed with one hand. It was a cool knife.
Very nice!
Not what I was expecting from the title. Pleasantly surprised by very interesting knives, I really enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it. We've got plenty more.
I had a knife that worked like the Frost cutlery in the early '80s. I bought it at a knife shop in Redbird Mall in Dallas, Texas. I lost track of it. I think it was stolen from a self storage warehouse that was burglarized. I've been looking for another one for years. This is the only one other than mine I have ever seen.
The one from your boss is one of my favorites.
My dad had that last trick knife, he called it a blow knife because he tricked us kids for years on how it actually worked. He would hold it to his mouth with the blade facing him; he would then blow on the knife, while secretly pressing the blade, and it would pop open. He would close it by blowing on it, and we thought he was magic, because we couldn’t open or close it.
That sounds very much like a dad thing to do.
Very cool!!!!! I have never seen some of those. I have a CRKT van hoy snap lock it’s kind of interesting.
Glad you liked it! I'll have to look into the Van Hoy Snap Lock
The original trick knife my buddy had one he showed me a number of years ago , i fumbled around with that thing for 20 minutes and couldn't figure it out , he finally showed me the trick , i had to have one . Went on ebay and found a new old stock one that night and bought immediately .
That belt buckle is sweet
i have a knife just like the last one. i can't remember where i found it, but i really like it. like you it took me awhile to figure it out.
I loved this video! I'm also a big fan of these trick knives! I have 3. But after watching this I might be trying to add some more to my collection!
Go for it!
I have over 120 😂
@@rory7984 120 trick knives?!?!
Oh no, didn’t see you said “trick” knives but i have some really cool Damascus ones
I love that ''whittler''.
That last ones a nice little knife just the right size for minimal edc and a cool action.
Just think how many people who watch this video have never seen one and then think the only reason they have is because you found it and didn't throw it away.
cool video love that last one
Glad you liked it!
I've never seen any of these knifes, very entertaining video.
Glad you enjoyed it! These were fun to share!
I really like the Paragon Warlock
A guy showed me a knife he had one time. Couldn't figure out how to open it. Turns out you just slid one of the scales while you were holding it and the blade swung out. It was a spring assisted opening knife. You just moved the scale about ¼ inch and the blade opened. It was pretty cool.
I bought my wife one of those crkt rollock knives. It works well for her because she keeps it in her purse. Don’t have to worry about it opening unintentionally opening.
That's a good use for it.
Very informative. Neat little collection. I found one of the ones you found in the dirt on ebay for $7 after watching this so Thanks for the content.
Very cool, glad you liked it!
That last one: get some Hoppes gun lube in a precision applicator, and squirt it in the mechanism. Has worked wonders for a lot of my seized tools over the years.
I like collecting expensive knives I definitely don’t need but CRKT really makes some interesting ones. One of the first ones I saw was the “Snap Lock” but my personal favorite that I own (also totally useless realistically) is the “Provoke” a pretty unique folding krambit. Nice collection!
Wow, those are both really cool! Glad you liked the video.
I used to have that last one as well and I swear I think I probably also found it on the street laying in the dirt
Hah, what a coincidence!
I have one of the last trick knifes. It is a neat knife.
Very cool.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching.
If you like trick knives, you'd love the Paragon Warlock.
The last guy who had that trick knife probably couldn’t figure out how to open it, so he got frustrated and threw it in the dirt…and that’s how you found it!
Cool collection
wow that frost cutlery knife is a cool knife
Very nice Gerber Beltbuckle Knife. 🔥 📛 🔥 📛. I specialize in Beltbuckle Knives
That's cool, what other belt buckle knives do you have?
In the mid-90s I remember a guy showing off a knife, asking people if the could figure out how to close it. I don’t remember anything special about how it opened, but there wasn’t an obvious way to unlock the blade to close it. The solution was that the handle scale rotated around an axis at the butt of the knife just a little, so you could push on the scale near the blade end to shift it a little in a scissor action, and that unlocked the blade.
I’d love to know if anyone remembers a knife that worked like that.
Sounds interesting but I'm not familiar with it
Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting, I'm probably on the opposite spectrum where I've come to learn I just won't really carry a knife in rotation if it *doesn't* have a pocket clip. Why do you prefer no pocket clip? And thanks for sharing these, they're quite interesting. Probably wouldn't be something I'd EDC since a requirement for my EDC is to allow for one handed opening, but its always refreshing to see something different!
Mostly habit. I like my knife down in my pocket. I want to reach for my keys or coins without a clipped knife getting in the way. I've never been comfortable with the folder in the back back pocket.
I feel like the Buck Paradigm could be in here it’s an automatic that opens when you slide the bolster to the side
Sweet I remember some of them WoW really cool
Great video...
Glad you enjoyed it
My first ever knife was almost just like the last one, my dad gave it to me and said "If you can figure out how to open it, then you are probably smart enough to have it." I was only about 7 and remember trying for quite a while before getting open basically just by dumb luck. I wish I knew where it was.
This is my exact same story .Grandpa said the same thing to me when i was around 7 or 8. My first knife. MAN i wish i knew where it was.
This was very entertaining. Thank you!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed!
That third one is a copy of the Benchmark Diamondback. I found them very difficult to open smoothly.
Yes, there's definitely a trick to opening it.
The Benchmark versions (now long discontinued) are worth a pretty penny on the collector's market. I believe Benchmark made three different sizes of this opening mechanism knife, with many optional scale materials. I have this CRKT version, but l really wish that l had sprung the bucks for one of the original Benchmark knives, they were truly beautifully made, but expensive.
You should look into the crkt fulcrum knife I got one of the very first versions and I love it
Great stuff
Fun video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Cool video, Thanx!
Great ! Thanks for show this . Best wishes from Germany 👍
Thanks for watching!
That belt buckle is fascinating
I had a two of the Gerber buckle knives, one similar to yours and a slim belt version.
In 1992 I worked at Gerber, lived a mile away.
I'de love to see that bolster slide release came in auto or be a geat conversion
That would be cool
what identifying markings does that frost cutlery knife have on it? would like to find one of those.
