Oh God. So, apparently some group of VERY MASCULINE people have already made "Lambda Male" a thing. This is both hilarious and sad to me. But I'd like to reassure you, this is a "ordering of Greek letters" joke, not a sly reference to some very weird chunk of the internet.
You don't need to have huge hands to be have nice knives and items. I am Asian and relatively my hand and wrist is smaller than other american people but i am little appreciate that i can enjoy 2.5-3 inches knife comfortably and doesn't looks like i am playing with toy knife. I love elegant small knife like william henry B10 and classic style watches, You might not find you will fit the style you love or you like but i am sure you can find some style you will looks great for who you are and you will love it after everyone will compliment about how you looks and live. I love your channel and don't be a man, Be yourself.
How the hell did you spit 5 mins of strait satire with no pause and an intelligent flow of salient points? You're the Eminem of our generation, but so much whiter.
Oh, it was outlined on an iPad next to the camera. I’m not that good. But beyond that, You’ve just gotta lose yourself in the review the moment you own it you better never let it go.
I have no problems with your masculinity, use of the Greek alphabet, or your love of polysyllables. I do, however, take umbrage at the your lack of clairvoyance and telepathy. Someone who has reached your status on UA-cam should be able to know which knives I own and love and, therefore, say what I want to hear every time you do a review.
Don't take it too hard, Nick... At least your hands can reach the end of a Pringles can without tipping it over, spilling the crumbs all over the place. #Lambdamale #Alfalfamale
I appreciate you accepting my alpha manliness Nick. My calluses throb deeply in pleasure to this video. Now excuse me while I go knife fight my fellow alpha men.
Bahahaha, that was the most efficient, humorous, clever, and Satirical Beatdown I think I've ever seen on a Knife Channel. A few of those phrases were topnotch wit. Right up there with some of Ada, and AKB's videos. It needed to be said, Nick, we all see these people and often recognize the over-compensation factor. Personally, I would find them simply entertaining and even funny, except some of them dig themselves into a rabbithole and become unstable and manic. Your expertise and blatantly honest reviews is what I come here for, doesn't matter to me if you were Mini-Me in a tutu.
Every year for Christmas, I open presents with a sledge hammer... in each hand. There simply isn't a better way to do this. If you can't dual wield sledge hammers... what are you even doing with your life?
Thank you for finally recognizing that everyone else on the internet is built like a greek god. Not a single small or overweight person among us. Not one.
I absolutely love this video and as soon as you said "since I'm a lambda male I'm not even on the same wavelength as you" I couldn't take it anymore. At that moment I realized the incredible wit of Nick Shabazz.
Nick, my comment 2 yrs ago was really confusing and kind of snarky. I was also high back then. I had a really bad habit of taking prescription pain killers. Since then I've been clean and sober for almost 2 yrs. With that said, I enjoy your videos and enjoy your critical thinking. You have a very fresh way of reviewing gear that I can just all around trust. Since I've ditched the drug habit I also ditched my liking of cold steel knives and took a liking to knives that have blade lengths of 3" or less. I just find them more controllable and realized that's really all the knife I need. I've also really enjoy your flashlight reviews as well. Definitely learned a lot from your channel. Cheers.
This is phenomenal. Nick your sense of humor. It's wonderful. Also the first UA-cam video I've ever seen where the creator actually urge subs to unsubscribe.
I've always enjoyed knives, but recently been much more interested. As a guy that welds, torches, and works with his hands, I value your knowledge and advice. I find you a "go to" for knife buying decisions. What you do for a living doesn't affect any of that. Thank you for what you do, I appreciate every bit of it.
I work in construction..I notice a difference in your preferences but I still love the videos and consider this one of the more unique channels due to a more white collar view point.
Dear Nick, I don’t collect knives, watches, or pens-yet, I watch your videos because you’re an entertaining individual. Your voice puts a smile on my 5 month olds face. He loves you too. Keep the content coming my friend.
Don't know how I missed that post until now, love it. Gotta get a kick out of the internet-operators stationed for front line tours out of their parents' basement.
Nick, on behalf of myself, and many others I hope, I very much appreciate your informative videos. You do an excellent job of highlighting the useful functions of your gadgets through analytical means. I can tell you with confidence, that you are more manly than the cowards who would tear you down to inflate their own egos. Fear not, for their insecurity drowns them. Also, reasonably thinking human beings can understand that combat makes up likely the smallest percentage of the purposes which knives fulfill.
This rant is on point Nick. Its great to see a creator handle the comment section in this way. You may not be a, "Real Man" or a, "Man's Man", but you sure are an Intelligent Man. Thanks for all the outstanding work. Cheers!!!
wow, i am going to bookmark this so i can watch over and over!!! i suspect anyone pecking around youtube and making snide comments might be evincing(?) a tiny bit of insecurity, but most will never be able to recognize this in themselves because it would cause a major breakdown (my take at least). keep up the great work!!!!
You sir are simply one of the good ones (for whatever that's worth from me). This is the best post response to this sort of nonsense I've seen in a long time. 👍😎
Lambda is an interesting choice of Greek letters. Were you aware that the lambda has been one of the symbols of Gay Pride ever since the late 1960s? I enjoyed today's video in the spirit you meant it to be.
Too funny! I consider myself a reasonable human being. Remember haters, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Merry Christmas Nick (and all reasonable human beings.)
I proudly stand among the Lambda Male 300 to hold the pass at Thermopylae. I humbly offer my Cold Steel Tough Lite, which I used today to build a cardboard sleigh for my daughter. It has LED reindeer. I have never been in a knife fight, and I've hugged my brother and father, but not at the same time and certainly not daily.. Please reply for my resume, which also has reindeer. To the Nick, I don't buy a knife or stab a pig carcass without your review first. All the best.
I’m weirdly not sure if I should continue to laugh outrageously or simply feel validated in many of the ways you just described..... Either way Keep up the brilliant work 😉😂😂
Hilarious! But remember Nick, how truly alpha can a man be who needs to edc chapstick to keep his manlier than man's lips moist? Fighting lions bare handed? Check. Survive in the wilderness with a toothpick and a paper clip? Check. Dry lips? Dead on arrival.
Chap stick is a great fire starter, wound protector, for sunburn, rashes, and lips. There are even uses that are not mentionable in a family oriented video such as this. LOL😉
I’m glad you’ve finally come to terms Nick. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. I wish you peace on the long journey you have ahead. I just hope you are able to heal from the tortures you’ve endured.
Nick Thank You for the most entertaining video of this morning. I am a subscriber and don’t plan on going anywhere. Frankly I get tired of the self named alpha males too. Many pick fights with no idea who is on the other end of the conversation and would take a pass if they knew.
Potentially the best UA-cam monologue ever produced. Denzel Washington would be jealous of such eloquence. (Alpha-male Interpretation: "Well play'd, bro!")
I’m a 2020, post quarantine subscriber, so I just saw this video but, 😂 you are so funny that I think you’re ready for prime time. You’re vlog is not only educational but entertaining as hell. If HBO ever offers a UA-camrs Comedy Special you should try out for it.
Nick, I love you. I don’t like commenting on videos. I’ve done so less than a dozen times. But I wanted to express my appreciation of your lack of manliness.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a early Christmas gift (hope that doesn’t offend anyone) lol.. Just love your Rants. You can give a tongue lashing with the best of em. This will become another favorite video of mine. Keep up your spirit and go Lambda Lambda Lambda. Least you still get the hot girl in the moon walk.
First video of yours I saw was about the Benchmade 940 and how it wasn't as good as the ZT 0450 and I thought you were silly. Now I look forward to your videos, I respect your opinion although I don't always agree with some criticisms, and I even got into watches thanks to your channel (Damn you Nick...). You're doing solid work here Nick and I hope you continue as long as you find enjoyment in sharing your opinions with us.
Oh God. So, apparently some group of VERY MASCULINE people have already made "Lambda Male" a thing. This is both hilarious and sad to me. But I'd like to reassure you, this is a "ordering of Greek letters" joke, not a sly reference to some very weird chunk of the internet.
Nick Shabazz you're manlier than even Hercules could wish to be
Just think of it this way. You'd have a WAY easier time reaching up in a vending machine, and grabbing delicious snacks out.
No Omega male?
There is nothing more fragile than the "manly man"! To hell with the lot of them.
You don't need to have huge hands to be have nice knives and items.
I am Asian and relatively my hand and wrist is smaller than other american people but i am little appreciate that i can enjoy 2.5-3 inches knife comfortably and doesn't looks like i am playing with toy knife.

You're the Eminem of our generation, but so much whiter.
There is vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.
He did work himself into a turgid , manly rhythm...now didn't he!
I think it's called an iPad and lurks or cowers perhaps, just out of shot.
Oh, it was outlined on an iPad next to the camera. I’m not that good. But beyond that, You’ve just gotta lose yourself in the review the moment you own it you better never let it go.
That was epic
Nick you are simply a gem
Can we send this to every 'tactical' knife reviewer on youtube?
LOL. Well done sir. “The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”

I have no problems with your masculinity, use of the Greek alphabet, or your love of polysyllables. I do, however, take umbrage at the your lack of clairvoyance and telepathy.

I feel less masculine for having watched this... better buy a Medford.

I'm actually slightly overweight....lol....
No need to lie to make nick feel better you humble beautiful greek godlike bastard.
@@nebulamask81 hehehe...
Awesome. Watched this while folding laundry. Going to watch it again while I do the dishes. You know, keep my household running. Good job Nick
I literally just got a chapstick ad at the end of this video.
The only thing missing in this video is background music "Now you're a man a mighty mighty man" from Pete @ Cedric & Ada.
Well I was thinking "It's Raining Men" would of been another great way to go lol.😂
Ha ha. You got it man.
"And the titanium will submit to your comfort." Shakespearian bathos.
I commend the ethos of your bathos.
I love the people who get emotionally wrapped up in what someone else EDCs. You do you, and I’ll do me, see how happy we can be!!!
I absolutely love this video and as soon as you said "since I'm a lambda male I'm not even on the same wavelength as you" I couldn't take it anymore. At that moment I realized the incredible wit of Nick Shabazz.
Oh so all those male enhancement emails I get are talking about making my hands larger?
Funny.
RobertJLessard lmao this got me legit lol
Well done
I laughed to tears! Bravo!
Took me a second to get

This is the best video of 2018. Hands down. Way to go Nick!

Pfffff there isnt 4 ways to kill someone with chapstick there's 6 lol
Seven, if you keep the paper wrapper
Exactly why your channel is so much better than most that focus on similar things.
This is freakin brilliant Nick! You sir are one of a kind and indeed a true treasure!
I work in construction..I notice a difference in your preferences but I still love the videos and consider this one of the more unique channels due to a more white collar view point.
Gosh this is just what I needed to hear today! An absolute thank you Nick, that was definitely a thing!
I massage sandpaper for a living. And for a hobby, I fight mountain lions, and for lunch I eat glass sandwiches.
You sir have a ton of abrasions. I dont care how manly you are!
I’ve had to watch this at least 3 times just to fully appreciate all of it. Bravo sir, bravo 👏
Well done, Nick. Sounds like you are too smart to take these comments to heart. Love the review style and substance, carry on please.
Dear Nick,
I don’t collect knives, watches, or pens-yet, I watch your videos because you’re an entertaining individual. Your voice puts a smile on my 5 month olds face. He loves you too. Keep the content coming my friend.
This is the best rant video of 2018. Thanks for the reviews, Nick!

Wise move coming clean before the Ax Police show up!
That video was truly amazing. For those who missed it, the Ax Police: ua-cam.com/video/64prbFJVBTM/v-deo.html
Over the heads of most who would benefit from the logic of this. Great vid!
I just found this. Thank you. I have not laughed so much in months. You have made the rest of my day.
If I could subscribe twice, I would. You are awesome man, keep it up 👍🏼
Can we start some sort of club for wuss bags who just like gear? Lamda Male Knife-Loving Society? Gotta be a good acronym somewhere...
Lambda males unite!
In!

There are so many layers to how amazing this is.
This rant is on point Nick. Its great to see a creator handle the comment section in this way. You may not be a, "Real Man" or a, "Man's Man", but you sure are an Intelligent Man. Thanks for all the outstanding work. Cheers!!!
This is hands down the greatest video I have ever watched I'm my life!! Thank you for this GEM!
From EDC reviews to a poetic angel.
wow, i am going to bookmark this so i can watch over and over!!! i suspect anyone pecking around youtube and making snide comments might be evincing(?) a tiny bit of insecurity, but most will never be able to recognize this in themselves because it would cause a major breakdown (my take at least). keep up the great work!!!!
This is the most beautiful shot fired in the history of all shots fired. And it was suppressed with the silencer of satire. Bravo.
I love this....doing unspecified manly work with seal team 6!!!! OMG this is so amazing! It is perfect Nick!
You sir are simply one of the good ones (for whatever that's worth from me). This is the best post response to this sort of nonsense I've seen in a long time. 👍😎
Really needed a laugh tonight. Thanks so much, keep being you.
I am awed by your sarcasm sir. Best regards and Merry Xmas.
It's hard to be more manly than I when I'm sporting such a pristine example of facial hair.
"...like a bathub of bacon grease poured onto a black truck's hot hood on a Summer day..."
Yeats, eat your heart out.
“This guy on this cold steel knife review is a lambda male” *cuts boot filled with pork for dinner while typing comment in the dark*
I know this is old but I still love that you made this video, Nick! HAHAHA!!!! You are amazing, I absolutely love your sense of humor!
“Often on Cold Steel videos” 🤔
Imagine that?!?
Lambda is an interesting choice of Greek letters. Were you aware that the lambda has been one of the symbols of Gay Pride ever since the late 1960s? I enjoyed today's video in the spirit you meant it to be.
Bathtub of bacon grease..... I'm hungry now.
Thank you for another most excellent vid
I whiskey tango foxtrot to myself all the time reading the comment section on your videos. Good day sir. Keep doing your thing.
Is this the opening Monologue to Braveheart 2???? YES!!
Too funny! I consider myself a reasonable human being. Remember haters, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Merry Christmas Nick (and all reasonable human beings.)
This whole video was absolutely incredible beginning to end.

This. This is hilarious.
Also, I used the word "murdery" in conversation the other day. I blame you
I’m weirdly not sure if I should continue to laugh outrageously
or simply feel validated in many of the ways you just described.....
Either way
Keep up the brilliant work 😉😂😂
This is the funniest rant I've ever seen on YT. You're the best, Nick!!!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO NICK!!! Very well done... You, Sir, are a good man!
This was so nice to stumble upon again. Nick is a gem.
This is why I love your channel.
Lambda male? Maybe I need to read Brave New World again, I don't remember that caste lol
I choked on my coffee when you talked about going to laceration town.
Can’t stop laughing! Absolutely perfect.
LOL!!! I never knew callouses could throb! I can now die a happy man!
Thanks for finally coming clean Darling Nikki. I can tell a great weight has been lifted.
Bonus points for the prince reference there.
Was reminded of the Seinfeld "Man Hands" episode. Isn't that Thrunite a bit large for EDC?
Hilarious! But remember Nick, how truly alpha can a man be who needs to edc chapstick to keep his manlier than man's lips moist? Fighting lions bare handed? Check. Survive in the wilderness with a toothpick and a paper clip? Check. Dry lips? Dead on arrival.

Wow. Trolls are something, aren't they? Great vid Nick. Love it, keep it up.
I’m glad you’ve finally come to terms Nick. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. I wish you peace on the long journey you have ahead. I just hope you are able to heal from the tortures you’ve endured.
... A bathtub of bacon grease poured on the hood of a black truck on a hot summers day.. that is the BEST thing i have heard in months great job!
I feel like this video is going to change lives... good on you!
Nick Thank You for the most entertaining video of this morning. I am a subscriber and don’t plan on going anywhere. Frankly I get tired of the self named alpha males too. Many pick fights with no idea who is on the other end of the conversation and would take a pass if they knew.
Nick it's ok because you're a fashion blogger. Keep the great content coming.
“Firm, rigid, masculine hands” that hand gesture was probably not the best choice there.
Potentially the best UA-cam monologue ever produced. Denzel Washington would be jealous of such eloquence. (Alpha-male Interpretation: "Well play'd, bro!")
This is the best thing I've seen all day.
This is amazing. You had us at throbbing callouses
I’m a 2020, post quarantine subscriber, so I just saw this video but, 😂 you are so funny that I think you’re ready for prime time. You’re vlog is not only educational but entertaining as hell. If HBO ever offers a UA-camrs Comedy Special you should try out for it.

Love your choice of words Nick.
You've dealt these commentators quite the rebuff by responding with sarcasm.
This is the greatest video on youtube. Ludicrously intelligent and hilarious.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a early Christmas gift (hope that doesn’t offend anyone) lol..
Just love your Rants. You can give a tongue lashing with the best of em. This will become another favorite video of mine. Keep up your spirit and go Lambda Lambda Lambda. Least you still get the hot girl in the moon walk.

The only sad part about this video is the fact that a good part of the audience won't understand it.
Good God man this is golden and hilarious!! Thanks Nick! 😂😂😂
PLease be who you are and keep it that way, which is the Nick Shabazz I like! Everyone has his own style.
