Yes to outdoor and testing content.

New series: beat the icon field test. First video is like it is now, end with a competitor. Sequel video is the field test.

Use some stuff? Sure. Lets see a, "most absurd knives, actually being used" video, like the one you shared here.

I won't buy or use anything that resembles a SAK if it doesn't have scale tools, with tweezers being the most important. also, I realize you may be limited to things you can sell from your website, but the Nextool TSA has replaced the Vic Classic SD on my keychain because I always carry another blade, and would rather be lightly equipped in bladeless places than not at all

The main issue with any Benchmade and "tankiness" is the Omega springs. There is always the chance of those snapping from shock or from stress over time. I have a Mini in Magnacut and I love it, but it's very hard to "trust it for life" considering the main locking mechanism is reliant on what are essentially, paperclips.

I would absolutely LOVE to see some outdoors test videos. I watch other channels with that content but I'd love to see the way you guys do it!

Whimsical for me goes to the BFB Panic at the Picnic man. You can't help but smile every time you see it. Especially when using it to cut a sandwhich in public.

The "modified wharncliffe" looks like the lines on stealth fighter canopy.

A single-edged Deba knife is a knife specialized for dismantling fish. Normally, Japanese people don’t use Deba knives for any other purpose. and It would be difficult to sharpen it. For multi-purpose use, I recommend Santoku or Gyuto. The sharpening method is the same as for Western knives.

Rambler. The Rambler takes the taco when it comes to max performance options packed into a small form factor. Love it, love it, love it. I would still like to see a Cadet X though.

what is your opinion on titanium pry bars? it seems to me that titanium being more brittle it wouldn't lend itself to being more than a fancy carry piece and not useable for actually prying on something.

I just got giant mouse tribeca titanium it's a unbelievable knife.

👍

I carry a SAK Rambler in my 5th pocket everyday for years now I even have backups for when I lose them or they fall apart in the washing machine. I use the flat head, Phillips, and toothpick more than my $500+ folders! Also, if you guys did an outdoors review once a month or so I think most of us subscribers would definitely watch it. This is the only knife related channel I watch EVERY video that is put out. Thanks for the great content!

Nextool is really gaining some traction lately with the their multitools. I was a huge fan of the Leatherman Juice series once upon a time, but after I broke one I didn’t have the money at the time to replace it. Now I can’t. But the Powerpint filled the void very nicely. I use that thing daily. I’m seriously thinking of modding it a little bit though. As soon as I saw “Best Mini Pocket Multi-tools” my brain always goes to the Powerpint first anymore, when I used to go to Juice or Squirt. I have a Gerber Dime and it will definitely do in a pinch, I just like the Powerpint better. I’m interested to see if the mini and micro plier or scissor based multitools will make a come back. And I’m very curious about Nexttool. I like all the videos you’ve done, but I really like the “Beat the Icon” series. Those are fun. I’ve seen several people post videos about this and thought I’d ask you: What do you think is or will be trending in the next year or so? Not necessarily blade steels, but fixed vs folder, blade shapes, multitools (scissor vs plier vs one piece), locks, deployment, etc? Thanks to you and Thomas for all your hard work.

I’ve only been watching the channel for a year or so know, would definitely be down to see some field videos!! Let’s see u test the pocket tango obviously! And maybe a spyderco one would be cool too

Two of my favorite small multi tools are the Learherman Micra and the Swiss & Tech ST53130. Alas, I don’t think KC carries either one.

The Longhouse and the Highbanks look fantastic. If I may make a suggestion, it might be worth contouring those scales even if that increases the price $20 or so.

Kizer is probably my favorite company right now. They strike a good balance of style, practicality, and value. At least for me and the stuff I do.

The fastest out of the gate switch blade is a Protech the Buck is a close second

😍

DCA, I adore the slipjoint version of the Spyderco lil native. It's a bit more substantial than the UK pen knife, but even less visually offensive to people who aren't used to seeing knives, since the blade is shorter. I go to the UK where legal options are few, but, honestly, this slipjoint gives me total confidence, and I have a Sabenza. Specifically, the lil native feels solid when gripped including the choil, but even if I don't choke all the way up, it's ergonomically impossible for me to close the blade on the fingers holding the blade. My question is this: what else fits the bill? Take my money!

Lmao bro gonna go hunting

A whole new wave of people starting to prep for the next toilet paper shortage so outdoor survival and prepping type videos would be great! see how long you can survive with just a cap lifter qualified multi tool and a reverse tanto! 😊

HI DCA, that little fifth pocket you refer to on a pair of jeans can also be found on some trousers and shorts. I have several pairs of both trousers and shorts in my wardrobe that has the pocket. It is commonly called a fob pocket (for a pocket watch) or a coin pocket for obvious reasons. Hope that helps! Big shout to you, Thomas and Seth. Keep up the good work!

I carry a Leatherman wingman in my fifth pocket everyday, fits perfectly, has a clip to keep it in place, and is very capable. Love it.

Glad you mentioned the SOG PowerPint - I def find it fits in 5th pocket and it's well-equipped. But that said, I almost always swap it out for a Skeletool in my normal pocket just before I head out

I EDC the Leatherman Rebar in my Fifth pocket... Fits beautifully and is way more capable than any listed here

PowerPint has never let me down and gradually just becoming more and more useful day to day for me

Outdoor videos please! 👍👍

I just. Today put in my order for a rat 1 in the AUS8 in all black with the carbon fiber/G10 handle

I've carried the Victorinox Mini-Champ for years now. It is amazing for most daily tasks, with great scissors and two blades that seem to remain sharp for ages and are so easy to sharpen. The best tool? The orange peeler. It is great for parcel opening nail scraping, and spicule gouging! Wouldn't be without it. I dummy cord mine to a belt loop which means I can put it round my neck if I need to.

Are "premium" steels really that premium? Mass produced premium doesn't seem premium to me ?

Thank you

Surprised not a dealer for Milwaukee and Knipex.

I want to ask, what folding locking knives would be best for one handed action for lefty’s?

My current favorite 5th pocket knife is a recently discontinued model from Olight called the Otool. Titanium and 154CM construction, one hand opening with a great liner lock sheepsfoot blade on one side and a bottle opener, prybar and deep cutting hook tool on the other. I think Olight recently cut back or dropped their outdoors line which the Otool fell under.

Plato: "A knife is a sharpened piece of metal" Diogenes: *grab a car doorframe, rub it in the concrete* "BEHOLD! A KNIFE!"

Spydercos are my favorite. 🎸🔪

Still love my Leatherman Juice with the corkscrew.

Stick to my sak tinker and weatherman squirt. Good combo for me.

Your Pocket Tango videos have me wondering: what are some examples of tasks a nesmuk vs lambfoot style blade excel at?

IMHO is Otacle P1 is WAY better than the Gerber Dime. I do like the package opener tool on the Dime, but outside of that everything is better on the Otacle. The Otacle is, unfortunately, missing a file, but the file on the Dime is worthless.

Regarding the forest-located vids, FAQ oriented around outdoor would be a nice episote to test the waters.

Has anyone ever seen the victorianox watch makers multi tool? I do have one. 🇨🇦

You should do a segment on Mini folders too (strictly knives). I have a bunch of mini folders that I love too. I always carry one in the tiny pocket above your regular jeans pocket along with a regular size folder clipped on my pocket. I wish companies made more Mini sized folders. They're fun to have just for simple package opening purposes.

I liked the "using the knives" videos - outdoors and the cardboard slaying. I'd like to see a video of seatbelt cutting with rescue tools. How hard is it actually to cut a seatbelt with those tools vs a nice sharp knife?

Leatherman micro mini is awesome have cared for over 20 years

Leatherman Juice CS4 (original version) has been riding in my 5th pocket on the daily, and for over a decade. So handy.
