Big FRIENDLY Knives | Knife Banter: Reforged with Kurt & Dallas

[@centenre]

All in on Dallas being on more of the videos! He gives off that everyday dad vibe, and to top it off he is great at making a personal connection to the knives. Great job!

[@Sam-ee1jo]

Kurt is great as always. Dallas has a very soothing voice and represents himself very well.

[@colbr06]

Dallas is such a good dude. I like him.

[@WAD120]

I still miss the older guys… However Dallas is the best fit with Kurt. Show is good again now that Dallas is on…he brings authenticity! Loved that Acta Non Verba 😎 🇹🇹

[@kai_onizuka]

A moment of silence for our fallen brother and sisters overseas. Thoughts and prayers are with their families. Dallas you are the man! Keep it up brother 👍

[@redsky8509]

yes Keep Dallas!!! Those of us who were in or are still in the U.S. Coast Guard thank you.

[@charliejacobs8263]

Good patriotic energy coming from Dallas. Have him on the show more. And thank you for allowing Dallas to use this channel and this platform to send a wholesome message of patriotism 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@wrx2sti409]

Big beefy handed thumbs up for Dallas. Excellent co-host for Kurt. Genuine, likable, good natured representing knives in fun and positive way. Good work.

[@Gunfighter314]

Kurt is the man and Dallas is a welcome addition to Knife Banter. It's nice to now have someone with a great personality, good sense of humor, and awesome screen presence. He compliments Kurt well. Keep Dallas!!!

[@basic_survival]

Dallas and Kurt!! Let's goooooo!!!!

[@TheBrianjones12]

for a company that sells knives, your social media/editing/filming crews are top notch. for real. Kudos to the production crew.

[@realbroggo]

Forget your BFF, if you're feeling down grab your BFK and go outside and use it. You cannot stop smiling as you throw around a ridiculously large and impractical blade tearing things apart - why, just because you can! 😀 Thanks for the vid guys.

[@tmtrueblood]

Great to have Dallas back!!! As a retired Navy Chief I appreciate all you guys.

[@spence215]

DALLAS IS BACK…. I HEART DALLAS 💜

[@The4cp]

Respect and love to our military. That Gerber needs to be a fixed blade.

[@samuelrichardsonmcgravyber4559]

Dallas is a great guy, and obviously Kurt is the man. You two are great together 👍🏻

[@firstlast2514]

Glad to see some good chemistry through the screen! Much better duo. Seems fun again, instead of whatever was happening with the other dude.

[@riog4113]

Dallas is legit. Y’all make a great pair. I love that spyderco mini dao deal..

[@charliepeltier4038]

Dallas is awesome, carrying the boker strike in brass it’s the best

[@stout_tossme7541]

They are awesome. A beefy tank for sure.

[@matthewadler1329]

Nice. Dallas is a keeper. Glad to hear you guys are leaning in his direction.

[@tidge879]

Dallas is great! I feel like Graham caught a bit of hate, which was unnecessary, but he just didn't have the chemistry necessary for the show. Dallas, you're doing well, Graham, I hope your good and didn't take it to seriously.

[@afterforever21]

Aw... Dallas seems like such a genuine dude. I like him. Hope he becomes the regular!!!

[@edwardjenkinson8948]

Great vid, Great Duo, Great Big knives!!!!!

[@nunninkav]

They are all great looking knives. That USMC dagger is a beauty.

[@mtdmtdigital9244]

Both awesome men who you know connects with the audience through their passion for knives! More!

[@parkerkelly2654]

I EDC my Espada XL and it scares the shit out of everyone at work.

[@rickydo888]

Dallas is good companion with Kurt 👍👍

[@NomenclaturalMan]

Dallas is a great dude, Kurt and he go well together. Awesome show guys!

[@NMiller_]

Cold Steel 6" Luzon should have been on this ep. The slim shape keeps the overall package small, and the almost deep carry clip is great. I typically carry it as an inside the waistband, and totes have done so out in public: Lynn Thompson approved.

[@coldsteelcollector808]

Yes! Your absolutely right I own that also and it’s great....actually the 6 inch Luzon is my goin to the beach knife lol I always take that one with me 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@rm8874]

About the Spyderco Dao, its based on the Chinese broadsword common in kung fu(especially in Wushu and both northern and southern styles of shaolin). If you look up either "Dao" or "Chinese broadsword" you will immediately see where it gets its shape. The sword comes in a couple different forms(all having the same general shape of blade and handle), the ones used in wushu are thin, whippy and very agile and there is often a band of silk hanging from the pommel. The other kinds are more designed for war with a thicker blade capable of cutting through scale armor and heavy enough to inflict damage even through silk which was common in military garb for its famously cut resistant qualities. Some were more decorative and had rings along the back of the blade for rings to attach a flag or banner to. Some more specialized ones have longer straighter handles to allow for two handed chops and cuts for added leverage though the sword was usually one handed Its honestly a really cool sword and fun to play with, almost a polar opposite to the katana in the best ways. The Katana is swift and its movements powerful and focused while the Dao likes to sort of "dance" and flow. Change of tempo(slow to fast then back to slow again) in a sort of whirling motion allows for strikes and parries from awkward angles allowing for it to be hard to predict and sometimes even harder to block than most other swords especially if it is a good balance between hefty and flexible allowing the point to flex inward on a thrust if parried making over parrying sometimes necessary. All this said while I love the idea of a knife built around this concept the knife is more expensive than most actual dao swords which usually dont go over $200USD, I got mine for $70 though it was a wushu style(commonly used by law enforcement back in the day) and those worked fine for dealing with civilians with no armor but for war they would not use this style and would opt for the heavier thicker versions instead(reproductions would still often be cheaper than this knife, the knife is built to be a knife not a sword so its materials and structure are vastly different from the swords which is why its more expensive). I truly love the knife and while I have never owned a spyderco I understand their steel is trustworthy, but that price is just too high for me. Anyways just thought Id share what I know about the knife and what its based on, very cool.

[@stout_tossme7541]

Wow. That is some awesome info. 👍

[@jamesp4896]

I had stopped watching these but u guys won me over again lol

[@RaySchrantz]

I'm not a big knife guy, but that Spyderco fixed blade looks amazing 🤩

[@landontreinen3062]

Dallas is like a good ol’ boy and a goofy teenager rolled into one dude. Like a knife version of Jay Leno. I imagine him having a “knife room” at his house just full of knives that all get used and meticulously well maintained. And he walks around in there wearing a Canadian tuxedo just talking about all of his knives to anyone who walks in his front door.

[@robertruggiano748]

No one will ever replace zac, Jaime, or Ben but Dallas is pretty darn close

[@donaldcasey9922]

“How many whacks will it take Dallas to get to the center.” Sounds like the beginning of KZbin’s best new series! 😀

[@stout_tossme7541]

Lmao.

[@PoetFisherman]

That Darn Dao, man. Yyyyep. It's so beautiful.

[@jamessmith14000]

holy smokes that CZ blade is amazing!!! *mind blown*

[@Smoke_Bang]

I carry a raja ii at least once a week in my blue jeans pocket, it’s come in handy as a cake knife or at a crawfish boil

[@itsmr.d716]

All the knives you showed us guys are awesome!!

[@GOxHAM]

Big thumbs up for the Beverly hills ninja reference. Love that movie!!!

[@joemann3536]

Great show Dynamic Duo!

[@knifeguy9134]

The 3v nightfall is pretty sick for what it is! 🔪🤙🏻

[@TeamDeafmatch]

Dallas FTW! I would recommend another episode with you two! And btw - I’ve missed the Buck Talon!

[@NMiller_]

I so want a Talon.

[@ricardorubalcaba155]

Loved this vid! Thanks guys.

[@eddieguyvh4765]

CPM 3V for a dagger? That's actually insane! It's almost a waste, since daggers are not utility knives that get used often for cutting things ;D

[@lucassmith992]

Honestly expected more cold steel, but I love all of em

[@BurningMonkey]

I have one of the original Cold Steel Magnum Tantos, and it is a monster. The leather has long since rotted and I need a new sheath, but damn, it is nice

[@hostilemgtow603]

Sean Smith I just wish they were cheaper. They're nice, but they're also very expensive 🔪💵😵.

[@BurningMonkey]

@@hostilemgtow603 this was way back when they were substantially cheaper. It is a solid chunk of stainless, not the fancy laminate that they use now. Still pretty beefy and able to take a ton of abuse.

[@hostilemgtow603]

@@BurningMonkey Ok, gotcha I understand 👍🔪.

[@double-oh7200]

BladeHQ you guys gotta make a shirt for Dallas that says "Story Time!" On it. Great vid as always!

[@kevinwilliams5363]

Dallas needs to be the new permanent co host. Please.

[@nicohurter2973]

Kurt I am glad to see that your thumbnail is fully healed.

[@alpine1600s]

I picked up a SRK and an Espada XL last Christmas. I asked the Mrs. to wrap them for me. Now, she didn't read the knife boxes. So Christmas morning I unwrap both, take out the SRK, and unfold the Espada XL. Surprised her!🤣

[@patrickconner2507]

Kurt and Dallas 4 Ever

[@Cid_1]

So unusual to see Kurt without a band aid. But I reckon he would have another one in a few weeks. Keep up the great videos.

[@Mike-Wolfe]

These guys remind me of 2AM infomercials of the early 90s 👍

[@jjp7216]

BFK story: walked into a mini market, grabbed a Gatorade and go to the counter to check out. Girl in line in front of me is carrying a sword in the right hand & buying a 40 oz with the left hand. Nope, id was not required 😜

That's freaking awesome.

I'm waiting for the Boker Strike XXL. What's taking so long?

WAAA!!??? No Cold Steel Espada XL??? For shame!!! LOL Awesome job on the videos guys

Surprised nobody has modified the dubble down to flip yet. Would be epic to see one at a comp. Lol

They have. Look it up on KZbin

[@ridetheapex]

@@hunterglaspell5580 Nice! I will look that shizz up for sure.

[@rubenabrego6762]

How come your shirt keeps changing on the close ups Kurt 🤣

[@Deibodese]

When I was seven, we went out to Arizona to visit my grandpa. While there we attended a giant flea market, and one of the vendors was selling machetes. I begged abs begged my dad to buy me one, but he said I didn’t need it. I said, “It doesn’t matter! It’s a machete!” Later that day I was doing dumb stuff with my brand new machete. Turns out, if you stand a pine cone up on its end on concrete and split it straight down the middle, it pauses briefly before falling in half, just like in anime.

[@knifeaddict_2133]

The only bladesteel that excites kurt is "D2"

[@paulblanscet3411]

I like the new guy!

[@localsource3012]

Would love to see a best of USA Made. Thanks!

[@SprayEndPray]

Not sure a few of these will fit in the Jumbo roll. I just put mine up, and filled all 40. No more digging through the sock drawer.

[@swanboy_1328]

The first thing I noticed was that Dallas was apart if the video

[@darenmcgovern4285]

I think there will be a future episode cracking coconuts. Maybe get knife suggestions from viewers for that? Just a thought.

[@stout_tossme7541]

Yes. Yep. Lol

[@marcusmann5859]

should do an episode on double edged blades the forbidden fruit haha

[@ozbear5182]

i was really hoping to see larger folding edc knives Like the the Kizer critical and the sheeps foot Not Pocket machetes

[@Tonysoutdoorandedc]

That's funny cause I just bought the boker xxl for a daily 🤣

[@kadegreen5356]

Glad to see Dallas back. It would be awesome to see some overly obnoxious mythbusters-like "knife tests".
