Best Budget Knives Under $100 | Knife Banter: Reforged

[@tidge879]

Dallas should be a regular. Knowledgeable, funny, kind.

[@ADB-zf5zr]

IMHO, he seemed to be a permanent, he should be permanent... Dallas isn't just great, he has chemistry with Curt.!

[@davepirtle9790]

Humor in any setting is welcome , add knowledge and it's a winning combo

[@adamhorton6727]

Dallas, by far the best co host with Kurt! (no offense to anyone else!) but definitely bringing the humor and working great off of one another! keep Dallas on Knife Banter!!

[@jmigoyo321]

Haven’t see these in a while. What happened to the other guy? (Rode motorcycles)

[@damyr]

@@jmigoyo321 I've heard he was charged for possession of a controlled substance, but I don't have any other details.

[@jolness1]

@@damyr Can't find any reference to it (Zac Whitmore). Typically when people commit a crime and are charged, it is super easy to find references to in court documents published online or news articles (in smaller towns). I have not heard that personally.

[@cshad9788]

Took me about 30 seconds to realize this the best replacement so far.

[@ParamountPocket]

@@jolness1 lol dude he was just messing with you. Zac moved on, or basically just got another job a better job, haha he didn't get arrested.

[@jacobbcox1985]

Dallas is the man he is our co host. Sorry everyone else he is just too kind and funny, plus you can tell he loves knives

[@gibbsfrazeur7927]

Dallas is your guy. Bring him back for more episodes.

[@Ted_P]

Dallas is a great co-host! It’s ok that he likes the tiny knife.

[@oneshadowone]

Dallas you are the man. I'm 70, retired Army first sergeant, and Senior Drill sergeant. I carried a Buck 110 on my belt everyday and a leatherman, both workhorses. I have knives from $15 to $650 as my EDC rotation. You guys are great together, would love to see you Dallas on a more regular basis. Talk about custom parts would be great.

[@TheBudgetguy_K.T]

What kind of knives do you carry. Any fixed blades? Hope to make knives someday and it would be awesome to hear from a military veteran and what you like.

[@cloakofshadow1]

thank you for your service, sir.

[@robertanderson1015]

You MUST get Dallas on your videos. You and he make a perfect team. What I like is that you two are fun and funny, but not over the top. You focus on the knives and thorough discussions of them. But the natural humor is sprinkled in. Too many producers on KZbin make it all about THEM, showing off or trying to be comedians… and the product is like an afterthought. So you two are a breath of fresh air.

[@UniqueApex]

Absolutely love the CIVIVI Pintail... and I was not expecting to. I lent it to my girlfriend's daughter on her birthday to open her gifts and she quickly fell in love with it. And because of how many times she complimented it, I ended up gifting it to her. That's when I realized how much I like the knife... so I went out and bought myself another one =^)

[@angieray9106]

Dallas… It’s not the size that matters, it’s how you use it. Yeah, I just went there. 🤣 Love you! And, yes. He does pull out his pocket knives at restaurants!!!

[@firstlast2514]

Ha! You just made his comment about using his knives at restaurants so much better! Thanks for chiming in.

[@BeatsPatron17]

Finally a co host who will probably start making me watch some Blade HQ videos again. Other guys tried so hard and came across like a jerk. Thank you Dallas

[@XGurro]

Dallas is awesome. Kyle is great too.

[@roycolglazier1061]

Ditto! WhutChew just sed! FUNALLY, a little chemistry and a good incentive to check in religiously. Well done & well said!

[@brandonlapine5174]

Dallas needs to be a regular on here for sure! He’s hilarious and knows his stuff

[@MayhemMechanic]

Dallas is definitely a keeper. Him and Kurt work well together on camera

[@Tanner8585]

Dallas is the best! Have Kurt and Dallas more often!

[@jamesR1990]

Give that man a raise. He just saved your KZbin channel

[@davidaful]

My grandpa passed last year and I was given one of his old classic knives. He’d use it for everything from opening grease tubes to cutting apples and turnips. One of my prized possessions for sure

[@noonespecial9840]

Dallas had a great energy. Have him on more.

[@akapabs108]

Never since Jamie mumbles-gate have I seen the BHQ community so united.. Dallas has won over the masses!

[@zevindd]

Yeap, Dallas feels right for the show!

[@edwardgonzalez9093]

Dallas was a great guy to have on; what a cool dude.

[@pedropagan735]

Dallas is the man, Kurt and Dallas, oh yeah!

[@crunchies3096]

I've owned my civivi Elementum for over a year and I couldn't be more proud of a pocket knife! Amazing quality and durability in a decent sized package!

[@mattboyer7466]

Dallas is my favorite host so far. Please make him a regular.

[@xvor_tex8577]

Dallas is just awesome I hope he'll become a regular to the show

[@BolsteredBlades]

Gotta love the joking around...but on a serious note... Hey! Remember us knife girls out here too ok? 🤭😆😁 I keep a gladius in my bathroom lol no joke!! I can't be the only one!! The Mermaid is most awesome! Had one for along time cuz MC of Metal Complex tempted & turned me on to it...had to have it! Thanks guys & thank you for your service Sailor!! 💪🏻🇺🇲⚔️❤️🇺🇲

[@gz4789]

Keep Dallas on as co-host...great attitude and vibes with Kurt well.

[@Deibodese]

I love Dallas as a co-host! He really has experience in what he’s talking about, so he keeps it live, natural and interesting! Also, I’d love to see more fixed blades. Rather than making a special for them every now and then, include them in each show! I carry an Izula every day, and that thing continues to impress me every day! Plus, it’s only $50!

[@danielwendell542]

Love my Izula, a truly excellent knife with a pretty small footprint and absolutely bombproof

[@Deibodese]

@Daniel Wendell That’s the truth. I keep testing the limits of my Izula. Currently I’m up to using it as a shovel when digging small plants up around my property. It does dull kinda fast doing that, but otherwise it’s fine.

[@danielwendell542]

@@Deibodese I've used my as an improvised foothold while tree felling by hammering it in, standing on it, then knocking it out afterwards. They're really are stout! And mine always gets back to shaving sharp after a few runs along a ceramic stone, even if it does get a bit dull after digging or cutting hay!

[@SchinzonofRemus]

Dallas is a knife guy.. Great change!!! This guy mods his gear... WAY BETTER!!!

[@tipandachris7814]

The most interesting part of this and the last video has been seeing the aftermath of Kurt's thumb!!!!!!!!!!!! Get 'em. Put me in coach! Also, Dallas is hilarious!

[@jakemiller3688]

Dallas was a great addition to the episode! Bring him back!!!

[@gladeshunter8796]

Dallas and Kurt work well together I enjoyed the humor .

[@centenre]

Not to keep beating the same drum… Dallas! This is one of the best episodes I’ve watched so far, awesome banter(get it?) between Kurt and Dallas. I’m fairly new to the knife community, never knew how much fun it could be!

[@jamesgoodlet7557]

I'm not gonna lie I'm loving Dallas!

[@brendanferris6193]

Dallas is a great co-host! He seems genuine. He isn’t trying to win anyone over!

[@jonathancupp3686]

Yes, Dallas is a winner! I vote to keep him… just as long as Kurt stays too!

[@Ssedc]

More of Dallas please. He knows his stuff and is very interesting to listen to

[@joeeasterling5652]

I have a tiny Old Timer stockman that me grandfather carried for years. The main blade is broken in it but it will always have a home in my collection. He carried a yellow handled Case trapper after that, when he passed I think my cousin got it. It is always cool to have things to remember people who have gone on with.

[@burkedavis1095]

Dallas is definitely the right direction

[@grandkid25]

Dallas is quite the salesman!! I think I need that itty bitty knife for my purse! Luv ya bro!!

[@nickmorrison1771]

Keep Dallas PERIOD! Hell of a job. You both feed off of each other perfectly.

[@codysmith3125]

Dallas should be on more. I just got my spyderco para 3 lightweight and absolutely love it.

[@wes8382]

In our family it is a right of passage as my sons grew they started with a pocket knife then graduated into survival knives as they matured. In my best friend's family and ours the giving of a knife is something that means that person is important to you. This tradition goes back generations including the giving of knives between families. I look back through my knife collection and don't just see a knife but memories of people I love and respect.

[@roycolglazier1061]

A great family story - thanks for relating it to us! Best wishes that ya'll keep it going, paying it foward in your family

[@kielclasing565]

When I was a young boy my grandfather used to tell me stories of his adventures with nothing on his person but his Barlow knife, which he referred to as a “pea knife”. In one adventure, he was swallowed by a whale and was able to carve himself out with his knife. It was the story that got me into knives some 30 years ago. I miss my pop-pop. I believe everyone should have a knife story and it would make a great banter vid!! Keep up the great work guys!!

[@sprint051]

Dallas fits in well. His stories are great and he has a sense of humor that is genuine.

[@johnsilvia5495]

Thank you for your service Dallas. Massachusetts corrections officer here, keep up the good work brother!!

[@chrisreuther4546]

Dallas rocks! Thanks for bringing him on

[@JSKrush]

Would love to see that future episode of Dallas's custom Bugout!

[@PatientPete]

Agreed

[@garyjackson672]

Keep Dallas great personality and humor.

[@davidferguson1378]

When I was 13 I was in the air cadets up here in Canada. The officers told us we needed a good pocket knife, and Camillus was supplying for them. But they weren't the best quality, so I started researching pocket knives. I came across a video (this would have been about 7 years ago now) with Ben in it (the one and only Ben from OG knife banter). He was reviewing some of the best EDC knives, and I settled on the Benchmade Mini Griptilian (which no longer fits my 20 year old hands). I ended up customizing it on the Benchmade site, and waited a month for it to get through customs. Now, 7 years later, I have about a dozen knives, which together could probably pay my tuition this semester. I even started designing knives, and hope to start producing them when I graduate. Love this show, as knives are one of my two main interests. Makes me feel like I'm part of a community, and everyone could use a bit more of that these days. Hope we get to see more of Dallas in the future, I very much enjoyed hearing his banter. Cheers Fellas.

[@Hunter-pc1iy]

Y’all %100 need Dallas full time. Not to toss the other Broskis but this man is perfect.

[@clem8fan]

Dallas is the guy Kurt needs to be with on these, that other ginger with the attitude needs to hit the road!!

[@wakediver]

Dallas is awesome! I did corrections in the army, and it's great having someone so relatable. About 14 minutes in he really got me; I've had people on knife pages confused about a shower knife when I talked about mine.

[@tylerbarnes7628]

Keep Dallas on. Also how bout doing an episode on what got people into knives or why they carry them. Personally I started carrying one when I was around 11 because of something that happened to my aunt and uncle. One day they were driving on a highway and the car in front of them flipped. The lady driving was trapped in her seat belt upside down. Nobody that stopped had a blade on them wich was odd since this was in Montana. My aunt and uncle were able to find an old pair of scissors in the trunk of their car and managed to cut the ladies belt and get her out of the car right before it caught fire. Ever since that day I've carried a knife. I've always seen it as an essential tool for day to day life.

[@JustAnotherDayToday]

Love the Grizzly Adams look guys.

[@ParamountPocket]

Definitely the best co-host for Kurt! This is the duo id like to see from here on out 👍 and maybe sometimes throw in Kyle! 😂

[@cjray5418]

In full disclosure, I am Dallas’ brother. Here is my knife story...so, there I was...deployed detachment commander commander on an Air Force mission in a foreign country, a Major at that time. We were issued these awesome knives that had a spring assisted opening function. I was out in the tarmac (Air field) waiting for one of our crews to return from a mission. I was absently-mindedly springing the the knife open then closing it against my leg. During one of my reps, I let my middle finger wander between the blade and the case, slicing the end of the fleshy part of my finger almost off. I stuck my hand in my pocket where wrapped in a tissue and received the crew and helped them unload, then Beelined it to the medic. I convinced him to dress the wound off the record, haha. No Purple Heart for me! Unlike Dallas, I am not much of a knife guy! And great job, baby brother, you killed it on this episode!

[@sovner]

A few weeks ago I was playing with my spyderco Native while i was at the computer. I left my knife in my lap with the blade open, and forgot about it. After a while I felt the need to go to the toilet and then I was hit in the foot by a pointy suprise. And sudenly there was blood everywhere, but don't worrie I cleand it all up before I went to the emergencie and got my foot stitched up :)
