Is Zac's Knife Collection Any Good? | Knife Banter S2 (Ep 9)

[@bsojdfo]

I genuinely felt bad when I heard the gerber multi tool story.

[@cutlerylover]

Nice :) what I love more than a high quality knife is a knife with a story

Hey Jeff

[@dieseldabz7104]

Every knife I own has a story.

The Buck 110 is such a classic design. I want an auto real bad.

[@The4cp]

It's worth it. If you can shave for the s35vn it's even better.

[@gavocrazy]

not worth it. i own both. its just a novelty, the og is cheaper, sturdier, has less to break. bucks fit and finish has gone down quite a bit too. save your money for gas.

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

I've got one but I mainly got it for the brass and micarta. Not a fan of the auto setup, it's really crunchy and stiff. If they'd make one in a standard lockback, it would be a winner.

[@gregundahood202]

Bought the 110 elite when it was on sale and came with the free boker. I’ve since sent it back to buck hope it comes back and impresses me. It wouldn’t deploy reliably and blade play wasn’t as good as I would expect from a knife at that price point...🤞hopefully it comes back the In the condition I hope it does

[@ssunfish]

Sakesman at gift counter of local Sportsmen's Warehouse lusts for the Buck auto but with elk ivory fir the release button. You made me remember that.

[@jeremy483]

that "YEAH BOIIIII" is exactlt how i feel sometimes when carrying a larger knife as well. always just explained it as a more secure or safe feeling, but that is way more appropriate

It's the only way I could think to say it. -Zac

Nobody: Zac: "I use my tools"

[@BaconBeast11]

It's a lot of knife "abuse" not "use" if you ask me. I mean he snapped his buck canoes blade and destroyed his HKs tip. Made me cringe watching him use it on his bike.

[@BaconBeast11]

@Redacted 00078576 you use a knife to cut stuff. Not pry things. If you damage your tools to where u have to repair them or worse, snap a tip, then that's abuse.

[@owendennis4797]

TheRealGiblet if you payed attention to the other video, his buddy snapped the canoe, not him.

[@Austinmitchell19xx]

Zac has a really cool knife collection it totally suits him! 😎 Film a range day and show your gun collection next!

[@landonjackson9377]

BladeHQ not GunHQ lol. But still a cool idea 😂

[@lordmeme8432]

It always makes me happy to see "well loved" knives, it just shows that they do their job and that they do it well just with how much they're used

[@Rabble1narms]

love SAK's, especially victorinox so never stop the mentions and they have so many great designs and options.

[@tracecify]

Zac you talk about the compact non-stop, but it shows you're genuine. You do you man! The best part about blade hq is that you guys come across as real people. Real people have preferences and sometimes we repeat ourselves. ;) Don't lose that authenticity!

[@jacktheripper6610]

Could you guys make a video for left handers? It’s hard finding a good edc for lefties!!

[@theDAK71891]

I am a die hard lefty. Razer Deathadder Left Handed mouse. My conceal carry firearm of choice is the H&K VP9 because the slide drop is ambi and so is the mag release. QVO wingman holster is lefty. But my two knives that I use strictly is my CRKT Carson Design M16-04Z with the lock and CRKT Snaplock without the pocket clip for left handed opening. I have seen a few autos with left handed people in mind. And yes, I agree that @BladeHQ needs a knife banter for lefties!!!!

[@BrianMiller1973]

Juicy EDC I grew up using them so much, it’s not a problem. Kind of an “only way I know it” kind of thing.

Frost Cutlery Pirana Bowie 😂 I found one in my grandma's garage when I was 12 and I'm pretty sure I still have it in a box somewhere

[@jedwout7510]

Zac should get a benchmade 940 osborne. I got one and it never comes out of my pocket great user and still sharp as ever

[@csquared4538]

Sharpen your damn knives man!! He likes building things and working, putting a good edge on a knife and learning that skill should be right up Zac's alley.

[@coryames1170]

He does sharpen his knives. But with how many he has he probably just hadn't gotten to sharpening the ones shown in the video.

[@ryanoconnell4938]

I was curious about the “dragon knife” and I opened it wow. I got rick rolled

[@artsohc]

I agree with D2 and M390. D2 was my first "nice" steel...and now I'm a M390 boi.

[@theok5213]

Mine was s30v

[@REgamerPRO]

I have never used m390, i have s35vn and its great for me. Is m390 any better?

[@brianhilligoss]

Definitely love me some D2 and now M4.

[@brianhilligoss]

STD it’s a great stainless. Probably the best in stainless knife steels.

[@AlexanderSLeBlanc]

STD s35vn is a bit easier to sharpen than M390 but yes M390 is better in every other metric. I only have to sharpen my M390 blades 1-2 times a year and I use both of them daily. Cuts cardboard basically forever.

[@Lethal_Intent]

Zac needs to sharpen up and strop some of them chips/rolls on his blades! My OCD tingles.

[@BladeHQ]

I would agree😁-Zac

[@JK-fu1bn]

Nobody: Kurt: "that... is awesome"

[@rufusgillespie9940]

i dipped from blade hq for like 6 months and come back and I realised that i was here for austin and ben, and really "lets talk knives" come on guys

[@jordancypihot496]

an opinel #10 is just perfect for me, im a carpenter and the tip of the knife is just slim enough to fix the jams on my nail guns and its sharp and the carbone blades get the nicest patina,i stripped the varnish and sanded the handle of my opinel and coated it with boiled linseed oil. you HAVE to try it

[@isaacprice6633]

Seeing that buck 110 auto completely sold me. I'm buying one ASAP

[@neeko7878]

First knife I was ever given was a Schrade version of the “Buck 110”. Mid 80’s. To this day, never sharpened and still sharp as hell. Used a bunch, especially for fishing. The patina is Amazing. Keep it in the original leather sheath so there’s a bit of green on it too. 👍

[@chuckv5150]

Zac, dude. Unbutton at least one of those buttons on your shirt. Ya gotta be more chill than that.

[@zac_in_ak]

I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more compact

[@OOOO_OOOO]

Never stop talking about the SAK Compact Zac! I actually purchased one because of you and loving it. Would be awesome to see you mod the compact.

[@zombieteenager007]

Hell yeah, new Knife Banter! Glad to see Kurt again after a while.

[@G0ATHR0B]

Im telling you, you have to check out the SAK Cybertool S/34. It has an in line screwdriver with interchangeable bits. I won't rewrite what I already stated on the SAK BHQ video but just to reiterate I use it all the time for carpentry needs and the bits have yet to give out. You might think its too thick, but its reall the perfect SAK.

[@HarlequinJitsu]

Zac's genuine unbridled joy for these knives is great to see. Put me in touch with a few there which I might have to track down. Not easy to be a British collector though

[@grumblykitten6813]

Yasss I’ve been waiting for this!!!!

[@dieseldabz7104]

I know its really nothing special but I've wanted a Buck 119 for several yrs now as when I was a kid my father carried one in his semi truck and I used to "play" with it. Yrs after my father's company closed and his trucks were sold I remembered it and hunted high n low for HIS knife. He then passed away a few yrs later and it has yet to turn up. Now every time I see one it reminds me of my father. Need one for my collection to feel complete.

[@b.anonson8711]

Yup lets make that video happen. Custom victorinox sounds amazing.

Appreciate the shoutout on Collection Connection! You'll have as many as me in no time Zac! #TheAddictionIsReal

[@honestdave]

I have a 1970 110.

[@AnomadAlaska]

For the scales, drill the hole over sized. Fill the hole with epoxy. Then drill the correct sized hole. Then you'll have an epoxy bedded hole of the correct diameter. Use a contrasting dye to color the epoxy fill for extra credit!

[@BladeHQ]

I like the way you think! -Zac

[@AnomadAlaska]

@@BladeHQ I learned it building sea kayaks. "Drill, fill, drill" for any through hull fittings.

[@Apex_grind562]

I was a critic at first with out Austin or Ben , but these dudes have chemistry.

[@MilledSteel]

The compact, or any SAK, rocks. But you should also try the pioneer, spartan and Tinker.

[@tatesolveson4714]

Ooh, I have thinking about a build knife, something simple and classic-a tried and true design and remake it, my idea is a kershaw leek, refinish the blade, stonewashed it, then still out the liners a bit to lighten it, make one scale micarta and texture the clip side, just make one big build video about one knife

[@joarflesja1516]

Great story. I got me a leatherman tool and the first wave in good condition again. I hade the when i was younger working om the farm. Fun to find them used i good condition.

[@joeallen2354]

Nope. The compact is sweet and I do the same thing. I've been carrying a SAK as a secondary knife for about 5 years now.

[@menelmacar3]

I share Zac’s sentiments on M390. I like it way better than D2, and I think S30V. Especially after I got and carry my Bradford Guardian 3 in M390. That’s what made me fall in love with M390. I feel like that could be a good big game caping knife.

[@Frizzlefry7]

At least Kurt didn't leave Georgie hangin'. Good job, Ginger Beard!

[@isaiahcantu1762]

They were originally made for disassembling rifles and opening cans,but I received a swiss champ on my 16th b day and I lit s a smoke with magnifer,very coool.

[@watermillwoodsman5232]

I carry a leatherman charge titanium. Give it a try. It's never let me down. Hunting, camping, or working on vehicles.. it's a handy tool. And the S30V blade has treated me well so far.(3 years)

[@mrducky2915]

You should have a functional version of that frost cutlery knife, take a pencil make an outline and make a blank. Put a copper and micarta handle on it too.

[@pauldd334]

As a lover of good working knives, Zac should get a Benchmade Adamas. It’s unbeatable.

[@wis1024]
