I’ve long since given up any pretense or attempts at justification as to why I “need” knives. I know full well that 98% of my interaction with a bladed object is going to be spent on the couch in front of the TV just playing with it and admiring it’s design and construction and I’m totally at peace with that.
Finally, someone else gets it.
The other 2 percent is using those knives to open the package from Amazon/Ebay containing more knives.
this especially holds true with otf’s. the perfect fidget object imo
I bought my big combat knife to defend my home against unopened amazon packages
Yeah,I got one in every room-you just never know when an amazon package might jump out at you!
Truthfully, we don't actually grow up, our toys just get more expensive and more dangerous.
I know what toy you're talking about...
I am knocking 70, love my knives, and have no intention of growing up.
Truth.
I wish I could stop buying knives.. 🙄
@@cherrybomb3713 And then you would find something else, and wish you had bought a knife.
Every knife producer will want you on thier marketing team when they see this video. You just made me feel perfectly justified to buy every knife I ever wanted. Thank you!
We need more 'tactical suicide prevention' videos, for real.
I'm of the camp that definitely buys the odd combat knife/dagger/sword/whatnot and eternally vacillating between buyer's remorse and a childlike 'NEATO!' as I hold said implement.
Also LOL at Lynn overcommitting to his watermelon cuts... in a REAL melon fight, that's a surefire way to get seeds in your eye, man!
The brutal, honest truth, and I am guilty as hell.
Someone else already said it: we absolutely need more tactical suicide prevention videos.
You've given me a lot to think about today. Thank you.
My collage teacher asked me: Why do you have a Black 6inch Kabar Tanto that is used in some militaries.
I replied: It is a Black 6inch Kabar Tanto that is used in some militaries, their is no greater reason to have a knife.
He said: Can I play with it?
This guy goes to collage
I’m going to show my wife this video when she asks me why I’m buying another knife.
I've been a knife lover all of my life. Lately, I've watched hours of Bushcrafting videos, and I just have to have one of those knives, though the odds of me ever being out in the woods again are near zero.
Very scientific. This theory has been peer reviewed and everyone concluded that you, are indeed right.
Your dog just staring at you while your flailing around with the blade. Glad you cut to that because I was thinking the same
I'm 12 minutes and 14 seconds younger after watching this! Thanks Pete!
I'm 39, I've been buying and playing with knives since I'm 18 and one thing I can assert for certain about this is that one does never possess enough big, dangerous looking knives.
You know when you see that insane crazy as fuck, totally unnecessary looking knife? And then you know you must have it? I just had that experience again today. Seemed like a custom one built in the US, I don't wanna risk importing it to Australia with our shitty customs.
Little dangerous looking knives can be fun too
I always like seeing Cedric in the background, wagging his tail and awaiting some affection. I had to put down my old boy last Friday, the time goes fast...
Brooo I am so sorry to hear that.
This is by far my favorite knife Channel. I like to nerd out on the steels and know what it's capable of. I know i probably don't -need- even a quarter of the performance. Side note from the age of 6 to 12 I was a ninja for Halloween
Sending this to my wife. You just explained it in a way I never could. Thank you!
The prepper thing is so well displayed. I still enjoy thinking about my theoretical bug out bag.
Man, you nailed it! It's for the inner kid fun!
Really enjoyed this one. Big gratz!
I even had to share your clip to my lovely wife. :))
I look at it this way ,if I'm ever going to legitimately need a combat sharp thing there will be nowhere to buy one ,so I'm stocking up now .
This is every bit why I like large blades. They are just fun to use. You captured it well
This was fun and interesting. It's like the Weird Al version of a Jordan Peterson lecture. A wise man once told me, having a defensive tool in your EDC is like having a fire extinguisher in your home. You hope you'll never need it and you might never have to use it. However, you'll sure be glad you had it if you do.
Whoa!!! You just described me! Yet I'm still trying to find that perfect combat knife. As a former US Army Ranger and lifelong outdoorsman, I gotta tell you though: serrations on a blade really do suck. My latest object of hard-knife romance is the TOPS Desert Nomad! Almost a perfect combat knife. Slicer, stabber and stainless..with a hilt.
Your videos are fantastic- informative yet playful. Aloha from South Georgia(US, that is..)
This is the weirdest and somehow best knife video I have ever watched. Quite the accomplishment.
Thank you! It's so refreshing to see a UA-cam channel that doesn't take itself so seriously.
What I learned from watching this video:
Apparently Subaru makes lawnmowers.
I had no idea.
Multiple stomach aching out loud laughter moments in this one! Cheers to you, pal
This has to be one of the best videos on the entire internet, specially for us knife nerds.Thanks for all Pete!
A lot of my friends buy fancy kitchen knives to scratch that itch
Pete! It's a shame I can only give this thumbs up once! My wife is annoyed with the volume of my laughter.
You hit all the right points my friend..now to go do knife stuff because I wanna
“EDC karambit” I died! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Possibly the best film ever on knives on the internet!
The Dog! 😂🤣😂 This was holarious.
“Thrust, hack, drag and pull.” Absolutely. You fucking crack me up Pete.
Perfect balance of cerebral and goofy, great vid!
This may be the best video you’ve ever done. Instantly one of my all time favorites anyways. Hilarious and so much truth. Now, where’s my 6” Luzon, I’ve got a box with a new knife in it to open. 😂😂👍🤘
*combat roll* "I need to speak with someone!"......great video!!
While under 200 comments, I just wanted to tell you there are some reasons to keep tools. I'm a knife guy and have spent way more than necessary on way too many knives. I have 7 Folders in rotation and as most of you will my 2 go tos. I have bigger blades I almost never use since I live in a metropolitan area, but like to take them camping 2/3 times a year.
I also had a trail boss axe I lent to a non-knife or Weapon friend for a film production and he forgot to give it back for some time.
It was his luck, cause when his building was on fire and his door didn't open, he used the axe to break free and it became his that day. All I'm saying is, it's fine if you collect things while still being reasonable and paying the bills. But even if youre Anti-Lynn at least have one thing to crack a door open stashed in your flat, you'll never know!
Excellent! I've stayed away from combat knives in 10 years of knife hobby--until last week!
It might be time..
Pete tellin' it like it is: no fluff, no muss, just the Bucking truth. Love ya, man.
This and DBK are my favorite UA-cam channels by far. Thank you for the hours of my life I have spent watching Your videos.
What about Advanced Knife Bro.? He is funny in a dry way.
@@JohnC29 That guy is awesome. I've seen all of his videos as well. Very well written dialogue and definitely funny. Good call
I've been a collector since a little boy. Have hundreds, but haven't bought one in a decade due to one thing or another in the adult life. I went to a show here in Missouri recently and the FIRE that ignited within me upon arrival was really intense. I felt so much younger and was so ecstatic I bought four ,three for me and one for a girlfriend. I coundlt believe I went without for so long. The fire is back.
I’ve never asked you for a favor and now I have one to ask for, Artisan Cutlery now has a budget proprietary powder metallurgy steel called AR-RPM9 which at the moment can be brought on one of their knives for as low as $55 and I’d love to see where it stands in comparison to other steels especially since no one has tested the formulation and it is not publicly known.
This video popped up as I was sitting here fondling my new SpydieChef that I randomly bought because of you. Now, because of this video, I feel better about fondling this knife. You hooked me up twice.
"you make things about lighter subjects, like killing your neighbors over a can of beans."
I totally needed this today. Thanks Pete
This video nearly killed me...Best "almost dying" ever! Thanks!
It's a good discussion that resonates with me quite a bit. We all like to poke fun at other people for their "weird" hobbies, but truth is deep down we are all just kids pretending to be more mature than we actually are. I think it's healthy and necessary to "unleash" some of our more childish and primal desires in a non-harmful way. Thank you for making this video.
This was so great! Thank your for not taking our hobby or yourself too seriously, Pete!
2:57 - Awesome! Most accurate, honest and funny vid I've seen in a while. On point with Thompson. Approaching 50 & guilty, no "regertz"!
Every generation needs a Teddy Roosevelt/Ernest Hemmingway type figure. Lynn Thompson is ours.
Hail Lynn!
Except for if you vote him into office, I swear it will end with people in internment camps and everyone wished even trump back.
@@starkparker16 proving my point instantlyXD
@@UmpalumpaofDeath Hail Lynn!
@@UmpalumpaofDeath I'm imagining Steven Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, cept with Bowie knives for everyone
Very different video but definitely one of my favorites you’ve done. Thoughtful and well made. There’s something to being a full grown dude wanting to recapture that energy of childhood or primeval man or whatever, thanks for another great vid Pete. My favorite blade for this purpose has to be the Spartan
I have a not so normal but serious love affair with my Cold Steel Spartan. When I hold this beautiful blade in my hand, I inexplicably yell SPARTA! I just wish this heavy bead blasted beauty would stop making my Nepolean Dynomite Stars and Stripes Flag bodybuilding pants from falling down!? :)
Thanks for making me laugh today. That was really well done!
Interested in that teepee in the background and its crazy that Subaru makes lawnmowers
You had me at ”Excuse me, i have some knife to do!”
I love the spirit of this video so much!
Thanks.
Greetings from a little belgian knife channel
Too funny ! I still have my Dads’ old WW2 (Naval) K bar. When commissioned into the USAF, (Vietnam Era) I was issued 2- 7 in combat knives, (Camilius) still have those.
Superb!!!
Hey slicy dicerrrrrs
Hey Slicey, what do you actually do with all the dicey pieces after slicing them? Love yer channel too Amigo!
All of this explanes why i love my cold steel 4 max, i'm 56 but the little kid is stil alive.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Love this video! This is the reason I own a sword. There are zero practical reasons for me to own a sword. I have zero training with a sword. Regardless, when I pick it up and swing it around a bit, I get to re-experience being a kid pretending to be a pirate, ninja or knight. It brings me joy, and that's ok. If anyone judges me for it, so be it. That's their problem. :)
Right! Did I need to buy a $160 bushcraft knife when I barely get the chance to go car camping once a year? Yes! The inner what if ninja/ bushcrafter needed satisfied!
Yep. There is absolutely no reason for me to carry a Microtech OTf to work in the office. Except that I can and it is fucking awesome. Great video as usual man!
Peter Pan's got kids?!?
I just got a Chris Reeve Pacific in the mail today - magical! Aloha, Pete!
Love This Video ! Im 57, still love my knives ! What is even worse, sometimes I get the itch for another ! Best joy, giving them away to others after I get board with them. (I never tell others what they cost with the hope they will use'em)
You are a bloody genius brother! Love your work! Thank you for your contribution to the community.
I keep a Cold Steel Rajah III on me even when I'm sleeping. It's 3.5 inches long and it'll cut you to the bone. It's legal in all 50 States so I can travel with it, and it's just as good as a fixed blade. (Seriously look it up. You cannot beat Cold Steels Triad lock system.)
Fantastically well said sir!! This is one of the many, many reasons I love your channel and content!
My warmest regards all the way from the UK
Once you dive into folding knives, you go from buying cool things then different size things on to different lock type things then when you really get stuck in your reading about elements and how they produce different carbides lol. At least that's what I did. Oh and survival bushcraft.
You are funny and full of truth. It really is a dream come true to be an instructor of survival.
Your videos are inspi-rational!!!
Love the fun you put into an all to serious group, keep going, Good stuff!!!
really dig your video here though- addressing the truth of things and breaking out of the dream is rather refreshing! Carl Sagan, Dragons of Eden- the god damn R-complex is a hell of a thing- and all the other layers as well
Dude I enjoyed the little chat we all just had. 100% real, much respect pete. Take care man. Good seeing this side of things once in a while.
Just watched this today (1/7/23). This may be my favorite of all your videos lol. Awesome.
Excuse me I have some Knife to do right now... and axe and what ever ells i can find that's sharp and sticky... love your videos
The question "Why?" asked and answered. Great video sir!
Yup. 100%. Thank you for for putting it in words and pictures, Pete. I will now pet my big ass Eickhorn German Expedition Knife.
I was just wondering earlier today when you’d upload next lol. Fantastic, and hilarious, video as usual, sir.
I think I like knives because they’re a culmination of many forms of material sciences
Wonderful video, thank you so much! :-) Provided me with lots of fun on an otherwise quite unfunny day!
Absolutely spot on analysis with some excellent satire!
Hilarious stuff! Randomly found your video. Made my day, Brother! Subscribed.
Also, that's pretty cool. I had no idea that Oregon trail was also popular in other countries
After watching this, i decided to buy the knife I had in my wishlist.
Oh damn, Oregon trail?!
Christopher Crane it do be like that
Your funniest video ever! The unbelievable part is that’s also the most thought provoking video. Brilliant! 🙏
Absolutely fantastic! Well put.
Great video Pete, case well made. For me it’s about that feeling of adventure, which I suppose is the same feeling you are alluding to here. Knives are tools for fun. Cheers mate!
My inner child loves you
I once stabbed a box to death just for staring at me...
"Just changed my lawnmower with muh knife" bwahahaaarrrhahaollolololzzzzzz !!!!!!! 😂🤣👍
Pete I have so much to say. First , that knife reminds me of the Tops Operator 7 . I was thinking about one recently but decided against it. Course it also is influenced by the K- Bar f/u USMC knife.
You should be able to make a living from your knife reviews ; but alas no justice in this world. Your dedication to edge holding ability of different steels is truly inspired yet your dry humor is on point. I have laughed & laughed at many of your vids including this one. BTW , you're right I'm watching this in the US.
Great vid dude! Having cut myself several times playinging round with my knives turns out my parents were right ... Sharp things are dangerous
Nice Teddy Fresh hoodie! I'm gonna order the black/grey version when fall comes around.
Perhaps your best video ever! And not just knives!
Always enjoy your perspective. 👍
First video of yours I’ve watched, enjoyed it. Cheers 👍🏻
I love your videos and this is no exception. I feel guilty financially for wanting and buying “cool” knives and tomahawks that I’ll never use. I never looked at it like this hobby is to us being adults as playing with wooden swords was to us being kids.
Thanks for putting this hobby and feeling towards dangerously sharp things into perspective. Now, if only I could convince my wife regarding this perspective...
This warms my heart. ❤
