All 19 Award WINNERS at Blade Show! 🏆

[@gtrules46]

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 😭

[@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.

You’re SO frikkin pretty ❤

[@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.

[@stuartrollings602]

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

[@williamburns-uw2gf]

Hi Melissa from NW Wales Great Britain. Thank you for a fantastic interesting award winners' video, inspirational designs. I'm passionate about all forging blades.

[@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!

[@pierrepower8343]

I 100 percent loved seeing these knives and your enthusiasm, love of knives and beauty made it even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing

[@jimburnsjr.]

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

[@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.

[@dougmiller7944]

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

[@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.

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.

Great video! We’re happy to support! 👏

[@scdub]

I just learned a lot - particularly that I need to get to Blade Atlanta very soon. I’ve never been but seeing pieces like this in person is well worth some plane tickets. :)

[@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.

[@尸缽疌]

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

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

Those are some absolutely crazy bits of kit. Would own any

Good work Melissa, excelent knoledge of blade work bur you are missing Mexican knife makers, there're few of them with artwork that can be mentioned in your videos, I garantee they are worth it.

[@MANYEl_l_0]

In this video, every knife and sword I saw was very beautiful and in terms of quality, excellent and unique. In fact, they are premium products that were created by humans and technology I really enjoyed looking at these products Thanks 👍🤞👍

This is amazing video , I am addicted to them. Huh, when did the host start?

[@tomfilippone6303]

The Gaucho knife has .925 sterling silver, not steel… i’m pretty sure you knew that, but I got so excited looking at that amazing knife that it was just a slip up. Completely understanding as all these knives are incredible!

[@GarrettsGear]

Damascus ALL the things! Lol thanks for sharing this video, a great idea if you ask me. That Shiro is just the perfect big edc ever.

[@Frank-ss6py]

Hey Melissa, I have a question for you? Have you used any knives made by Nathan Carothers aka CAROTHERS PROFORMANCE KNIVES? And his delta protocol hear treatment process for CPM 3V ? I have three of his knives and I have one on pre-order!

[@Anothermachine]

Will Steltor is awesome. I watch him and Alex Steele videos all the time. I wish they were still partners but he is very impressive and entertaining

[@darcyparks3435]

Beautiful as always ❤️ can't get over your beautiful hair nice knives kid.

[@dodgedavidson197]

That keyhple knife was insane

[@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.

[@basimmahmoud3840]

I think the winner must be your eyebrows, they are the sharpest blade, and they must be so, as to protect those most beautiful eyes
