[@starcoglan]

I am a woman who owns nearly 100 knives. My husband, who owns zero, does not understand my addiction. He is kind enough to feed my addiction at Christmas and my birthday, so he's a keeper. Valentine's Day? Flowers die, but knives are forever.

[@BirdShotIV]

lol that’s awesome 👏

[@erhon5]

I’m trying to convince my fiancé that knives are cool but he’s being stubborn. At least he doesn’t want me to get rid of them 🤷‍♀️

[@BDevi0us]

Frankie is the Knife Queen 👑

[@IanSmith465]

That picture of Frankie at the beginning should be made into a poster 😮

[@BFVgnr]

Merry Christman Frankie and Bird!

[@BirdShotIV]

👍👍🙏🙏

[@plynch113]

Don't knife shame folks for carrying cheap.ass knives. At least they have one in the pocket. Some.people do.t have a lot to spend. Merry Christmas!

[@BirdShotIV]

you got it, thanks for sharing 👊👊

[@JJoker69]

Knives have come along way since my first Barlow for sure...

[@the_knights_edge]

Merry Christmas, always love it when y'all put out new stuff!

[@Mikey_Trailz]

You guys are one of the first knife channels I started watching when I was bitten by the knife bug years ago and have always enjoyed the different lane your content lives in due to the fact that you guys are a couple. My wife has a few knives i gifted her but she just doesn't get into it like we do unfortunately. Her favorite knife is the Jade Kizer Lieb. My 6 year old daughter is a whole different story she is a daddy's girl and is such a lil knife nerd! Anyways thank you for not just being a set of hands at a table unboxing/flicking some knives! You guys make great videos and content. Happy Holidays!

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for sharing and happy holidays to you as well 🙏🙏

[@danlarom5965]

Yes!!! Happy holidays!

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you 🙏🙏

[@powerplay4real174]

She's oh so cool in the knife Community and it's so much fun having her ,she wears her finger nail polish and thump flick like a expert. Y'all are the coolest. 😊

[@africanwidow]

Wow. Nut N Fancy. Need to go back and watch some of his again! Great kitchen video!

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you 🙏

[@Edcreviewer]

Carried my NF project endura the other day! He is one of the OGs.

[@RobotechII]

He has a lot more stuff on his Patreon but even still he has slowed down a lot on knives.

[@BirdShotIV]

I think the first knife review I ever saw was 2012, a SOG, might have been the Blink

[@Rain_dropshutty]

My husband got me into knives, and i have been collecting quality knives for about 2 years now. I carry 1 to 2 knives every day.

[@BirdShotIV]

that’s awesome

[@davidbaize4825]

Well, I have a new girlfriend. She has been studying knife blade shapes and is now a new student to knife collecting, my fault, lol

[@BirdShotIV]

great to hear 😆😆👊👊

[@JD-ie4fv]

My wife also loves her knife collection. She also color matches. Keep up the great videos, we watch you guys all the time. Peace.

[@BirdShotIV]

Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@dinner_workingsly]

So glad it’s more than just FancyNut for knife channel options. I can’t stand that dude. You guys are great, been watching for a couple years now 🍻

[@byronkennedy7912]

Congrats Frankie and Byrd for almost 10 years at this (Nick Shabazz too !) Now ... is there a new line of Tacti-boob (TM) to be released in tyme for Christmas 2024 ?!?! I think this IS the best way to get Everyone uh .... involved. The Kershaw Shuffle is a great knife gift for anyone ... and, of course, Victorinox (there's at least one for all).

[@CharlesJeske-lm8pd]

I also own a solingen 1902 hawkbill knife from sears and roebuck! It was advertised as a combat knife.

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Awesome!

[@jasonbeecher509]

Awesome show. JB had your shirt on today

[@mikejurnak0324]

Yes, he did 😂

[@powerplay4real174]

My lady likes to buy me knives every now and then and I always appreciate it 🙏

[@bobbiekenny3262]

Thank you Frankie

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

I have one of your original Frankie and Bird Victorinox SAK classic SD with the banned birds with knives. I also have a couple of Frankie's drawings that I requested from Blade HQ a few years ago. You guys are always fun to watch. They make 🔫 for women also. S&W Ladysmith.

[@BirdShotIV]

much appreciated, thanks for being such a loyal fan all these years 👊👊

[@mgjkoehler]

I have that white Ozark Trail knife, and I have no problem with it. It cuts, it's fidgety, so light. I alternate with my spyderco and Kershaws.

[@BirdShotIV]

that’s awesome, thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@cintage]

Well, I’m not a girl but you are one of the channels that made my knife enthusiasm go through the roof. Thank you, guys.😊

[@BirdShotIV]

that’s awesome, thanks for sharing 😆😆👊👊

[@rtz549]

The good thing about these $5 and $10 knives is they could bring a lot of new people into the knife community.

[@BirdShotIV]

absolutely 💯 Thanks for watching

[@the_swinging_axe]

My wife carries knives and loves her modest but high end collection (7 or 8) I made sure she has a few fixed blades, multitool, Swiss army knives, and some folders. Thank you!

[@BirdShotIV]

Thanks for sharing 👊👊

[@Time2shine11]

Gave my wife benchmade Bugout to edc in purse it’s always on her , my daughter got her a leatherman rev last year, now she wants the donut knife . That’s how you do it folks

[@MyKnifeJourney]

Thank you for always keeping it fun

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching and sharing 👊👊

[@devilman3806]

My gf watches all these knife channels with me. She gifted me a Buck 119 Alaska Guide last Christmas. (Was my EDC this year) I bought her a Alaska Knife Co ULU for her birthday. (She loves it and bought one for her friend) She only has 4 blades but her collection is slowly growing.

[@BirdShotIV]

great to hear 👏👏

[@glenngoins3100]

Orange is the new black.

[@HeartMarksman]

Theres always tons of money to be made when hobbies that cater to mostly men, do something that women enjoy (and i dont mean just by making things pink). My favorite example ive seen of this was when Animal Crossing New Horizons released on the switch. (Ik gaming isnt just for guys, and animal crossing isnt exactly a mans game but hear me out.) The cozy nature of the game, and the progression buildung an island with your dream aesthetic not only appealed to the exsisting player base. But managed to also reel in new players, many of which were women who had never owned any type of gaming console before. It did this because it allowed players to flex a creative muscle that they dont get to do often. That is not easy to do, and flew under the radar for many, but to me was an outstanding feat. Its not easy to be bold and stick the landing which is why it hardly ever happens successfully. But there certianly is a huge untapped market for anyone who can genuinely captivate instead of just making pink tax junk.

[@zacharybarnes6731]

Thank you both for all ur knife videos the knife soul rod just wouldn’t be the same with out you 2

[@tomt5745]

even after 9/11 my father walked through airport security with his Vic SD in his car key ring over and over again. old, grey and a bit leaning forward and limping. not seen as a threat. i stood behind him once and when asked he responded, well have you seen my hands? i can not open a wrapped sandwich without help.

[@marklawrence855]

I live in the UK, and can only carry slipjoint knives, do you have any slipjoint knives?

[@sharpwhits0167]

You guys are awesome. I love your sense of humor. I have long been considering starting my own channel with a different format than what is typical. If I ever dive into it, I definitely want to see if you two would be a guest.

[@BirdShotIV]

much appreciated 👊👊

[@marticoombs2925]

I’m a woman and I like knives! Found your channel within this past year, and enjoy your info and the banter! My husband does well to gift me knives and helps feed my addiction 😂. Thanks to you both for your channel!

[@BirdShotIV]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@alpine1600s]

My favorite Ben BHQ vid is their big folder vid.👍🤣

2nd 🥈

[@truthseeker6045]

Someone gave me a used knife … and it absolutely grabbed me. My experience with knives, before that, was the old timer type knives . This was a Kershaw with an assist … I had no idea other types of knives existed. I ended up buying my two nephews knives based on the colors they like. They are literally HOOKED now. Young adult males and never had a knife 🤦‍♀️. I fixed it lol 😂! My daughter has a knife in her purse …. 👛 I am a knife girl FOREVER! I post on my fb page and that alone has inspired my dude friends to get more knives ! I LOVE watching your vids ! I have you and the Melissa Backwoods girls to watch … That’s the only female knife girls, out there to watch that I know of !!’ It’s crazy! I love the knife guys .. but I am so glad there are at least a couple females to watch . There should be more !

[@BirdShotIV]

Thank you 🙏 🙏 for sharing this!!

[@lwilson95990]

I always get my wife a knife she really likes spyderco, civivi and victorinox! My 7 and 8 year old girls want one two but i don't think they are ready !

[@plynch113]

Got my daughter (21) into knives. She has a nice collection I gave her and she uses and carries them. Also just recently got my wife of 24 yrs into knives. She has a pink dlc dragonfly and for Xmas I got her a limited edition protech PT plus Tiffany blue and pearl button, she loves it and is super proud of it!

[@BirdShotIV]

that’s awesome, thanks for sharing

[@dinner_workingsly]

My daughter is 22 now, and I’ve been trying for over a decade to get her at least mildly interested. Hasn’t happened yet. She knows how much money I spend on them being an obsessive collector and I think that has yucked it a little bit for her. However, her boyfriend is loving the fact that I collect because he gets some pretty awesome gifts.

[@richardbergstrom3305]

In 2014 I was really into Spyderco's DF2. My then SO decided to liberate one(not happenin Hon) I preordered a purple DF2 for our next Coupleversary. I'm literally Golden despite Seki City (lol). Wasn't sharp enough for her- now wears "my edge" (Bird when you know, you know) and is carried/used by her daily(a nurse btw).

[@BirdShotIV]

👍👍👏👏

[@cardsfanatic]

One year for Christmas my wife asked for a knife. I bought her a Boker Kalashnikov. She really liked it.

[@bordercollie7798]

Love Rudolph!! I like my knives and carry one in my purse, one under the seat in my car, little ones for opening things in the car and at home and two in my pack I use while hiking. I’m a 74 year old woman!

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for sharing 😉

[@carlstanland5333]

EDC: Every Day Cat

[@babycornell49]

I am a woman. I carry two knifes in left pocket everyday and they are the Civivi Mini Praxis and the Keizer Banish . I carry the Mini Praxis since last January 2023 and I just got Keizer Banish at the end of November 2024. Only the other 2 good brand knifes I have is the Kershaw Cathode & the Gerber Paraframe Mini. I am looking to see what other knife are worth having in my collection next.

[@harrytuttle1446]

I feel that I am in danger. How many women I know are carrying knives in their bra?

[@BirdShotIV]

possibly more than you know…

[@harrytuttle1446]

@ Dear God. I am a marked man. I can’t believe it has come to this. If I must die I pray that will not be D2. It really gets rusty when concealed in boobs.

[@Fishbag61]

I got into knives around two years ago, and since then, I've given out probably 150 knives. About 40% of those knives went to females... some of who have legit started their own collections...Thus, solidifying the old adage, "Knives...Girls love em too!" 😊

[@wickeddreamdesigns]

Yes everyone needs a knife just listen to Gibbs rule #9 always carry a knife

[@stevekushman3030]

My wife hates knives.....aaaaargh. My friends love em. I've been rounding up some of my knives that I started out with years ago and gifting them to friends and others who normally can't buy them for one reason or another.

[@carlito5552]

Hi, it's me from August 2026. Women have completely taken over and yes they carry knives among other things. Thanks to Frankie Bras have become enormous and women not only use them for tacti carry, thru seem to have taken the place of purses and backpacks and general airplane luggage. You guys have 43 cats and live on your "catio" and have given your house to the cats. Thankfully yo are still doing videos amd my wife has given me permission to continue to watch. Pretty much all the knives are vibrant colors here in the future so the value of all the titanium and plain knives has thankfully skyrocketed. My collection quadrupled in value. I am so glad to see that women have become more involved with knives now.

[@BirdShotIV]

😆😆😆😆👍👍

[@DrBlazer50]

A Kershaw Chive rainbow colored got me into knives in 2003. I still have that knife, actually I have 2 of them (I live that they have the production dates on them). I consider them my Holy Grail knives because I'll never get rid of them.

[@Stuart-er8qz]

Hello chaps, my daughter got her first swiss army knife. Shes got two SAK, a case and a Mora Eldris for xmas as i cant afford the pink Spyderco she loves. Hopefully she'll be into the hobby for life (shes eight now).ATB👍👍👍

[@Ravenankh]

I never heard of a “tactiboob” before now. Now I will use it on a weekly basis at least

[@cgolf100]

Got my wife and working age daughter a Mini Praxis for Christmas and found an Ozark Grail for my daughter. Heck my daughter has a better fixed blade than me;)

[@BirdShotIV]

👍👍👊👊

[@antlawa]

Hey, Frankie and Bird! Antlawa here. I had some health stuff going on, and drifted out of this fave hobby o' mine for a year or so. And good news... I'm back! Thank you both for being there to help me ease back into my hobby. Err... obsession 😊.

[@BirdShotIV]

Welcome back! :)

[@jamesfischer3694]

I've tried and tried and beyond tried to talk knives with my wife. She is a super hard sell on that ... Yeah .... Impossible to change her mind that "I'm just crazy " 🤷

[@DocDazzler]

I’ve gotten several knives for my wife and daughter. They don’t like them as much as I do, but the smaller knives are very desirable for them. Both of them like the mini Bugout and the baby banter. My daughter even stole my wife’s green micarta baby banter. I think the first knife I got for my daughter was a Kershaw scallion. My wife has the Spyderco tattoo cricket and now the dragonfly. I can’t find the tattoo ladybug anymore. I did get her ladybug in K390 and I got the manbug in K390.

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Thanks guys ....Happy Holydays !!!!!!!!!

[@williamthompson2859]

I really miss your little pugs that you would dress up!

[@timtitus2532]

I've tried to get my wife into knives. I've given her a Benchmade fixed blade and a limited edition Bugout and a Victranox. She still hasn't caught the bug. My granddaughters have received knives from me and want more. My daughter received an assortment of 30 knives from me a couple of years ago. I don't think she's too interested, though. I think she might have sold some of them at a yard sale 🙄

[@BirdShotIV]

ok thanks for sharing and trying, don’t give up!!

[@timtitus2532]

@BirdShotIV I'll never stop trying. Not in my nature to quit.

[@samuelshamston8275]

My wife loves anything pink. I started with a pink spyderco. I got her a Victorinox SD for her keychain as they come in countless different prints. Recently I took it off her keychain to clean it. Man she pissed when she went for it and it wasn't there.

[@samuelshamston8275]

They recently legalized OTFs in my home state of PA. I of course had to pick up my first Microtech OTF. My wife wasn't happy when she found out how much it cost. But when she finally found the strength in her little thumbs to get it to fire, she lit up like the fourth of July. She now has the same variant in a bad ass pink/purple. It sits in the center console of her SUV in perfect condition. She tells me each time she uses it she almost poops her pants but gets a rush when that blade flys out.

Wife no chance Niece has a SAK from Girl Scouts and wants my donut bestech ququ (no way I think her school will disapprove) Female friend stole my snecx mono

[@BirdShotIV]

stole it??!!

[@WillEDC]

@ lol. Um. I usually pocket dump at cafes and my friend was intrigued with it. Box cutters usually don’t look so sleek. Anyway I didn’t realize she took it and then said you can keep it if you will use it. Her background is Tech Reviewer and owns her own home automation business so she’s normally opening lots of boxes. I think this type of person can be attracted to tools but I still think it’s a bit rare and it’s more of a male dominated field. From my experience, young girls are just attracted to girly color items but it’s just not practical for example to give my niece knives because 5 days of the week she is in school where she can’t carry. My wife and her sister actually were attracted to my Rike Cicada and asked “what is that? It’s beautiful” not realizing it’s a knife. I suppose it looks more like a pendant. So I suppose there is a niche there to cater where it would have to be ornamental? Or have some kind of high end material or maybe mother of pearl that could attract someone but even then I feel it’s a hard stretch. I have another friend who is into exploring ruins which you guys do as well. Caves, old British ruins etc. She’s tattoo up and gothy and really loved the rike hummingbird but no interest in anything else. I’m thinking outdoorsy women should love knives but I feel they don’t. Not from my experience. Hikers or ultra runners, never an interest. If I look at my local sports store they carry only a cheap folding knife meant for food. So perhaps that’s the right segment to target. Folding knives catered to picnics and restaurants like a Laguiole, Opinel etc. I would add Opinel in some feminine color to the list as a female knife gift for picnic use.

[@kristophermeek8689]

I have been trying for the however many years I have been watching you guys. She is not having it. I'm still trying, though.

[@wildfree4203]

I miss those old times you mentioned, they were better. It’s evident why!

[@sharpwhits0167]

I gave my dad a cjrb mailea several years ago when they first came out. Since then, I have bought him a benchmade bugout, qsp penguuin, sog xr, a twosun with cf and s90v and more. He refuses to carry anything but the maileah. I've sharpened it for him enough, I'm going to have to replace it for him soon.

I think there are more of us that like knives than you think. And when you think about it- I think in our everyday lives we have more uses for them than the men do

[@Edcreviewer]

Hell my wife is out in the shop with me most of the time grinding right along with me. Shes very in to knives and has been since we got together. Knives and guns is how we met lol, 20 year old hottie in a Crop top and Daisy dukes dinging 1moa steel plates at 800-1200 yards stole my heart as soon as I seen her the first time 20 years ago I knew that woman was gonna be my wife and when I seen a Spyderco Clip-It in her pocket that was it I had to talk to her. So I asked her if she wanted to shoot my 30-378 wby mag out at 1200yds and she said yes, we talked and exchanged numbers and was married 7 months later and been together EVERY SINGLE DAY since we got married, she's my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better relationship with a knife loving long range shooting hot blond that still looks 20 at 38. Women in knives is something that needs to increase because right now there aren't many and we better cherish the ones we do have...

Happened to me with watch collecting. I found about 70 I like 😂. But lost that enthusiasm and sold off about 50. Now I have 20 in the box that no longer excite me. Been on and off with knives, I’ve got around 65-70 currently and trying to choose one to carry has become daunting. I’m bored with them but can’t stop buying shiny new things I’m supposed to like.

I want to know why Bird does not know the names or brands of mist knives. It seems that Frankie is the brains of the 2. At least when it come to knives. I was under the impression Bird got Frankie into the hobby. It's doesn't matter really & I don't know why I'm bringing it up. I would like to see Bird a little sharper with the knife brands & names. Go Boob Taclie carry. Woo Woo..

I don't understand your response to my comment. So your saying that buy US made knives isn't a good value? Or it doesn't matter where it's made? Please explain your response to my comment. Thanks

[@BirdShotIV]

lol you had us worried for a second. We both thought “when did we ever say anything like that??” searched it, it’s someone else who responded to you. You need to go back to your comment and reply to that person.

Buy American knives, because price for quality US is not much more then the quality coming out of Asia.

In no way is it worth the money. Like most collector hobbies, people rationalize their spending. It isn’t rational, practical or a good value.
