A good knife story I have is that my dad has been carrying a Benchmade reflex mini II for as long as I can remember and when I was a kid we were going on a family vacation and had to go to the airport. My dad forgot he had his mini in his pocket and security wouldn't let him through. They gave him the option to get it mailed back home or it would be confiscated. Instead he exits the airport and burries it in the dirt by the drop off area. A week later when we came back he goes to the burial site and his mini was still there. He's still using the knife to this day

My K, I used in Iraq for over a year. When I came home I passed it on to my son who carries it everyday and when he is out with his guard unit. He won't give it back so that's a great sign. (Purchased it in 2006)

[@moslimislam5714]

I know you followed orders, but I highly dislike you for being part of the cause that is now a huge catastrophe that will last for generations. You created a problem that allowed for a 1000 problems to arise. The Americans greet you as a hero, but you are a villain to the people it directly concerns. Good luck to the Iraqis cleaning up the mess, I guess.

[@kevotoolz6158]

I'd hate to say I spent my time training the people how to police themselves. But I won't feed into your dislike. That's your opinion.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

Moslim Islam We, meaning US troops, didn’t create a problem.... powers above us definitely played a role in the lack of stability in the region, and guess what.... The time I spent in your country I learned a great deal about the world. I learned how weak people were, that many are born without a spine, that the feeling of entitlement extends beyond the fortunate ones, how those that do strive for success are often sabotaged out of jealousy.... I can go on about all the negatives I experienced first hand. How those that consider themselves a patriot and wish to take the fight to those that dare desecrate their ground, only cower when they are needed the most. The honest are few and far between. Those few are the ones I wished well and hoped they didn’t have much hardships cause their fellow countrymen were total pieces of shit by any modern society standard. I guarantee that you personally never experienced any issue with an American troop if you really were a stand up guy. We simply didn’t give a shit about anybody other than our brothers by our side. We fought those looking for a fight. The rest were a bunch of bitches so take an honest look at the situation. Don’t blame Americans for your countries lack of integrity and their poor ability to defend themselves. For fuck sake your army would show up in sandals and a wife beater. I don’t remember your country for the shit I saw. I remember it for the hope it had and you confirmed that there really wasn’t any hope to begin with

[@dillonnj45l.18]

@@hailtothe_rooster1572 first off I'm not an Iraqi. Not even from the middle east. Secondly: notice how weird your perception is. You were only there for the people who pick a fight with you? You are the one travelling half the planet with a loaded gun. Then you continue to say that they should learn to defend themselves like it's their fault. As if their inability dragged you out of your bed from the us all the way to Iraq with a gun. Look. I'm not interested in your personal story. I adressed the concequence and results of the us's involvement. The documents have been leaked. The wissleblowers have spoken. There is absolutely no case to be made from your perspective.

I got a good knife story: when i was a young lad of about 15, I bought this POS knife set called the "don't tread on me knife combo" or something tacticool (dumb) like that. one day I was fishing off this dock and I got a massive hit, like, rod yanked from my hands, and almost pulled into the water. I grabbed it and over the course of like 30 mins, I proceeded to wrestle this massive flounder to the surface and get it on the dock. this thing was like 2 and a half feet long it was huge. a small crowd of tourists kinda formed around me and I was feeling all cool and stuff cause I am a local and non of these people had probably even scene a founder before, so naturally, to show off, i decided to cut the head off the fish with one swing of my knife. I raised it above my head, brought it down hard, and the fucking handle exploded in my hand, and the blade snapped out, bounced off the dock, wizzed past my head, and anchored itself into the pier 20 feet behind me. it landed about 2 feet from some old ladies that were watching me. Ive never been more embarrassed. and that's when I learned about quality knives.

Back around year 2001, I worked in a quarry and had a Spyderco with the 4" blade, Endura I think. I used it quite often cutting conveyer belts. While running a stockpile truck I lost it, could find it anywhere . About 6 months later while removing crushed stone from under the bin I had been working under I found it. It was in a puddle where the truck had been parked while being loaded. That knife had been run over hundreds of times.by a truck 22tons.After washing it out I was able to open it. The blade was still in good shape.Took it home and boiled it to get the last of the crud out. Resharpend it, oiled it and used it for a couple of more years.

Knife story. One night I was drinking at my friends house and ended up walking home. My EDC at the time was a CRKT thunderbolt ( I have big hands) I loved that knife from the day I bought it. That night I slipped in a field. When i awoke the next day I couldn't find my knife. I called my friend to see if I left it at his place and looked all over it was gone.☹ About a yaer later I was walking through the same field and slipped in same place as that night. When I went to stand back up my landed on something metal. It was the same knife. 😲 I gave it a quick cleaning and it just had one spot of rust on the blade and a little oil fixed that right up. Sorry this is so long just felt I had to share

[@lyledoberstein5539]

I have had my Kalashnikov for over 6 years and it has been the best knife I have ever carried as a edc. It saved my life once when I fell out of my tree stand and was hanging from my safety harness. I reached in my pocket,grabbed my auto, wrapped my legs around the tree and cut the harness and slid down the tree to safety. I would buy 100 more of these knives but mine just keeps on functioning.

[@sparks6177]

I had a gerber freeman drop point that my dad had gotten me and was my favorite edc. one day I was working on a job site and the belt sheath I had it in opened and dropped it out somewhere, I looked for probably an hour, under the house through the yard and never found it. About 6 months later while on a trip to Minnesota my dad calls me and said he found it, when I asked where he said it was in the top rack of the truck and sent me a picture of the knife in almost perfect condition, it had ridden in the open all winter through ice storms and gold rainy days for the better part of 6 months and not a speck of rust. Needless to say I was happy to have it back, unfortunately I’ve lost it again but I expect it to find its way back one day

I just bought one of these for my wife to carry in her purse.... and you guys were able to put her name on the handle. I got her an orange handle so she can find it easier.

My father had a Kalashnikov 74 He had two, but the first one he only had a few months before he left it on the back of his truck and it flew off. The second one he got shortly after and used it for well over a decade in heavy duty construction. He passed away a little over a year ago and his knife (worn out more than the one in the video) is easily the most sentimental object I have. I now carry my own Kalashnikov 74 as my primary knife as a deputy sheriff. No matter what you use a knife for, the Kalashnikov is a great choice.

I pulled out my M16-04Z and used a rubber dead blow hammer to hammer it through the JB Weld. I was able to lift myself six inches off the ground. I'm not a light guy. I was 225 LBS at the time. I just knew it would snap. The blade never broke on me. I used it for another year before I gave it to a friend once he made Life Scout. Ever since then, it's been his EDC knife. He loves it and I had a backup M16-04Z that I've been carrying for the past 5 years. I've never had one mess up on me like Kershaw and Gerber have.

I Own 3 Boker kalashnikov auto knives and love them. Pretty much all I carry. Just ordered the warthawk myself.

[@kokyudosa]

I love the Kalashnikov! I have one in every size they make. I gave one of the skull jobbers to a friend last last Christmas. He loves it. Since I wear dress slacks at work, I carry the black on black mini-Kalashnikov tanto blade every weekday. I also have a "Red rocket" and an anniversary edition at home in my knife wrap. Yeah, I might have a Boker Kalashnikov addiction. Edit: make the purple. ;)

I'm glad to see so many lefty knives coming out lately. I can finally carry the way I was born to!

[@williams.1130]

My dad had a Kershaw cryo he took with him when we went hunting and of course he lost it. So the next year we are setting up our ladder stand on the same tree we always use when i go to grab the seat cushion on the ground there lays the kershaw in the dirt. Flipped open like a champ and no rust at all. Dont know how cause its often wet and humid here in NC. But some kershaw voodoo has kept it going and he still has it to this day. That was 5 years ago.

[@jeremy483]

That last story is perfectly like my Kershaw kuro.except i was helping build a fence for a friend. Turns out 6 months later, times are hard, i move in with him.maybe a month or so after that, im cuttung the grass, and trimming the wild bush at the corner of the yard...after trimming down thw bush, i roll by on the riding mower and chunck over what i thought was a thick piece of limb...nope u found my kershaw, beat to shit and almost stained brown under the mower. Still worked.still use it for lawn care.

[@displacedredneck]

Agree totally. I’ve been through dozens of small-medium auto folders and 3 years EDC later this guy is hands down the best all around, pound for pound, bang for the buck. 100 out of 5 stars.

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

I've used mine daily for at least 6 months now and is still kicking ass. Looks rough but that just adds character

[@joseflipsok614]

I’m dying at the edit where he dropped the Damascus kalashnikov

[@craigaxe2251]

I work for the United Breast Cancer Foundation as a truck driver and we pick up donations people give us to help the cause. One day I was carrying my para 3 and opening boxes with it also I was throwing big heavy bags of clothes into these huge bins. There are lovely Spanish ladies at my job who sort through the donations to see what we can sell at the store. I get on my truck and do routes for the day but I checked my pocket and my knife was gone, so naturally I freaked out and checked everywhere but had no luck so I left for the day. I come back later and asked the maintenance guy who speaks Spanish to tell me how to say knife in Spanish so I could ask the ladies and right when he said the word, one of the Spanish ladies looked up and was holding my knife! She had been using it all day it snagged on a bag of donated clothes ended up In the huge bins and was sorted and kept by one lady and she gave it back and I hugged her she laughed and said it is a really sharp knife and made her day easy!

I have the Boker Green Mamba Kalashnikov and it did in fact deploy in my pocket. Cut me pretty good too. Understandable though because I carry a bunch of crap in my pocket with it. Still love it.

[@nubbylovin]

I used my Kalashnikov in a Greyhound vs semi truck accident. Cutting victim clothing and breaking glass. I love these knifes. My first one (still have it) came without a clip.12-14 years ago. Please ask Boker to produce a LARGE AUTO! These knives are amazing in my opinion, competitive with knives three times their price. I would love to see 1 produced with 4 1/2 inch blade.

[@timtimkthy2945]

Burgundy handle and a dark purple blade would be so fucking sick... btw... I was fucking dying from that knife drop scene 💯😂😂

I helped build a house for this well known globalist. During the project I lost my Kershaw leek gold finish somewhere in the attic. I was upset, but I moved on. After about six years I went back to the house for a service call and happened to find myself back in that attic. There was a duct that I had to climb over to get to the problem, but as I shine my light in front of me I can see a glimmer on top of the duct. I don’t know how, but there was my knife stuck into the duct board like it was Excalibur. I honestly think some other tradesmen found it and left it in a manner to help me find it. I for sure thought it was buried in insulation.

[@crashinto0078]

I bought each of my groomsmen one for my wedding. Great knives.

[@mattsliepka1432]

Great idea!

[@forrestwebb67]

9:17 they missed out on a perfect opportunity to call it the damasnikov, also super stoked they FINALLY have a left handed model

[@griffinplenert9209]

My mom found an open Kalashnikov handle up sticking out of the sand on the oregon coast at low tide. This thing was beat to hell by the ebb and flow and still snapped open on the first try. Either boker has the best PR team in the world or this is the best knife ever made

[@andrewlackie1453]

I had something happen to my first knife that was crazier than the grass story! I could even send it in for a knife banter episode! So here’s the story: My first knife I received when I was 7 years old and it was a small Victorinox Rambler. My parents bought it for me and I was stoked to have my first little knife that had tools on it so I could open little packages and use the screwdrivers to fix little things. I carried the thing with me everyday and I loved it for years. Even when I got an actual licking pocket knife when I was older I would still carry my little victorinox around with since it had other tools on it. Well my grandparents used to live up in Alabama and as a kid when we could visit all of the cousins would play in the backyard and climb up and down these huge trees that they had there. Well one day while climbing in the trees my victorinox rambler slipped out of my pocket and fell on the ground in the woods somewhere. When I noticed that it was gone I spent the next three days searching the entire yard and all around the trees just trying to find the knife. I never found the knife and we had to head back to our home in Florida. Fast forward over a year later my mom gets a phone call from my uncle saying that my cousin had found a little Swiss Army knife sticking out of a mole hole in the backyard. She say something shining in the sun sticking out of the ground and went and picked it up and it was my first victorinox! They needed up mailing the knife down to me and I still have it to this day! I’m now 20 years old and it’s the knife I’ve owned for the longest!

Good. Old. BladeHQ. Gosh dang this is my favorite store!

[@kilogangstafuzz]

My knife story: Was going to a concert In Bell Isle, Michigan. Forgot I had my Boker in my pocket. was told to get rid of it. but we took a bus from Detroit to the Isle. so I buried next to a tree. Came back 4 hours later to get my knife and security came over to me and said he watched me bury it, and wanted to make sure I came back or he'd have a free knife. that was 4 years ago and still using my Boker Kalashnikov.

[@melprice]

My first knife was the partially serrated tanto. That knife started my obsession. Since then I sort of baby my knifes but I know I shouldn't. I used my AK for three months on a temporary gig building hoop houses. 60 to 80 holes a day filled with cement to support the fence poles. That equates to 90 to 120 bags of 80lb quickcrete cut open open with my AK. Stabbing it into the bag and cutting the top off, blade slicing through paper, aggregate, sand and concrete. Never sharpened it once, just swirled it in a bucket of water at the end of the day. Snappy after day 90 as day one. If some kind gentleman hadn't stolen off my porch one day I'll bet it would still be rocking it today. I've bought one since but I sort of baby it now, I need to quit that S H 1 T. This is a working knife.
