Let's be honest. We watch her channel because she's very knowledgeable about blades & because she's literally an angel on Earth.

[@danielschneider8101]

I'll admit to the first click, but every click after has been because I like the presentation style and the content. I'm a big fan of the review videos I've seen, although apparently I saw two points and intuited a line. Whoops. Hopefully we get more reviews in the future and some more outdoor material

[@MelissaBackwoods]

You are so sweet thank you 😭

[@prone_wolf8871]

😆

[@soggz4246]

Hi Melissa. Great vid. Some good pieces on there. Unfortunately over here, we ain’t even allowed to buy a blade over 3” ( unless it’s a kitchen knife), let alone carry one around. All the best👍🏾🇬🇧

[@stanwilson7040]

@@danielschneider8101 I watch her channel because she's a knowledgeable hot blond knife chick

[@Beartron.actual]

I like how genuinely she geeks out on knives. Makes the content more authentic. Great job. Keep up the good work.

[@stuartrollings602]

Wow and great job Melissa! You are an amazing ambassador for the knife world! Thanks for sharing ! ❤

[@Mo.89.]

Still killing it with the long form videos Melissa! Loved it thanks for taking the time to make this, I know it isn’t easy!

[@KnathansKnives]

Great video and thank you for showing us these amazing pieces! That Zane Keyhole Integral with the Ghost Fire Damascus was gorgeous👏👏👏💯💯

[@jimburnsjr.]

Fantastic video as always Melissa, thanks for showing us what real craftsmanship looks like.

[@nickziemer8123]

These blades were stunning to look at! I’ve never been to a blade show, but Melissa’s presentation of this video made it so clear showing the work and detail of each knife made me appreciate the end result of what these makers went through. I’m a rookie but I’m learning more everyday.

[@redfishradical]

It’s an absolute JOY HAVING YOU BACK POSTING HERE Melissa!! 💥🎉❤️👊💐 I’d love to see you feature your favorite outdoor/camping/bushcraft hacks & products! Your time returning here & sharing with us is sincerely appreciated!

[@joehalout3476]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. I would definitely love more of these in the future. I will make it to blade show someday I hope.

[@cococolares888]

Best in Show winner is so beautiful! I'm really glad to see brazilian friends winning prizes too. The Enigma was also beautiful. Thanks for the amazing videos, your enthusiasm with blades is contagious

[@johnlone207]

WOW! Thank you very much! I wonder how long it took for some of these Artists/Bladesmiths to finish their masterpieces; from idea to paper to material gathering/plans, to processing, and finally in to a finished blade. Did they took them just that one year, from one annual blade to the next for presentation; or maybe, that one sword or dagger or a knife, took over a year or so and finally presented it to the next incoming blade show? Or maybe, that some of some these Artists/Bladesmiths are that good & well-seasoned, that they made all of these in less than a month or so, as easy as farting in the wind. All in all, these are just awesome to see.

[@ericthomas8501]

Another great video, love your knowledge of blades and sharing with us. Always look forward to your videos definitely Always learning something new.

[@dougmiller7944]

Amazing artistry! 💯And YES! More More More More Please more. Love your enthusiasm and knowledge of knives and survival topics👏🏻

All of these blades are stunning. I cant believe the Damascus patterns- wow! My fave is the khukri (second shown i think, so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@korvusknull1447]

Fabulous craftsmanship! Thanks for the closeups!👍

[@BANHMIZON]

Thanks for showing all these exquisite knives. I have to say my favorite is the folding dagger at 6:25 for the intricate and thoughtful artwork. Love the colors and the chevron pattern on the blade.

[@johnnyquest5942]

[@95666]

4:18 incredible "chatoyance", had to look that one up.

[@gracepntfeugt1192]

You know, as a person whose knowledge of knives comes exclusively from watching videos on this channel, it would be cool if you could explain terms like Damascus, Bowie or Slipjoint. Like, for instance, what makes a Damascus, a Damascus and not something else? Anyways, great video. Your passion for knives is contagious. I might end up buying one of those gravity knives mostly because they look so cool.

[@user-bh9hi4bf1k]

they are some very basic knowledge in the knife world...

[@wolmntn]

I remember my knife making days. Fighting knives featured two of my daggers and outdoor life mag had some in them.

[@user-ik4fj7gx8e]

More more more please ❤

[@stephenpatton8690]

You are awesome.

[@VitalyMack]

I would love to see more non-Damascus steel categories!

[@fatmangaming2720]

Cool video. I'd like to see you do a video on more traditional slip joint knives. Flippers and auto are cool and all, but traditional slippies, have way more class, I mean they are just more visually appealing. Greater variety of patterns and materials. Glad I stumbled onto your channel and your Facebook page. Take care and have a kick ass day.

[@brianbarton2106]

right on!

[@billvan5219]

I'm going to have to watch this again on a bigger screen!!!

[@viet5929]

Would love to see more innovative design and opening mechanisms on knives.

[@hhyyuu667]

Awesome video!! The only thing about the custom winners that gets me is it seems like the majority of blades that win are Damascus other than the slip joint and a couple others. That basically tells me that the contest is “make Damascus if you want a chance at winning”. Almost every knife looks like an “art knife” in their category as opposed to practical. I would love to see knives win that have some practical value as opposed to how fancy they are. Maybe I just view it differently than I should 😕 Regardless, awesome video and content!! Keep it coming.

[@sadiqlathram4883]

Every time i was going to write my best knjfe i see another better knife. I notes that damasqus steel getting beter and beter every time. Thank u for this great video.
