Community Call Out From Super Steel Steve: My Thoughts On Him, Slicey and Our Community

[@robertkain7890]

Dude, Nick Shabazz is a FAR SUPERIOR reviewer, compared to Slicey Dicey! And if you host GAW's, you should be ready to send off as soon as you receive the winner's location info. If you aren't, then you have no business doing it in the first place.

Great hearing from you buddy!! Thank you for sharing this!! 🤙🏼

Hey JT, best wishes for the future, I've also was in the food service industry and know just how tuff it can be, and I have not one but two children so I feel your pain. It been a pleasure to watch your channel, if you ever get board of the 9 to 5 come on back, we all miss you all ready. Again thank you.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Thanks a lot John, much appreciated. Best wishes to you as well.

[@EagleJim62]

I think Slicey is done. I've watched him for a couple of years and liked his videos. I think he plateaued, he knew it, and he was just going through the motions. I don't know all of the particulars, but there seems to be enough going on that it appears that he has some major character flaws rather than just making a few mistakes. Now I'll go back to looking for good knife videos.

I appreciate your take on this. I got burned by Bryan, but I simply unsubscribed and moved on with my life. There are plenty of great channels out there like yours is/was, so I can get my knife reviews from people that don’t cause drama. I don’t have a channel or a platform (and personally don’t want one) to raise awareness to the shady things someone is doing in the community, so I appreciate someone like Super Steel Steve or OCD-4-EDC that can point out a situation and let some people avoid getting taken advantage of. I’ve enjoyed your content and wish you the best of luck with whatever your next path is after the door is closed to this channel.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

I didn't like slicey. I un followed him long ago. The Knife community is ignorant overall. Its what happens when so many people are involved in any large community. Its sad to see this happen and the fanboys reactions who pushed it off. He's not apart of my community and never will. I can't stand listening to his opinions. So I don't really care what he does. I just hope people wake up.

[@TheLastRanger]

Thanks for sharing, had no idea this was happening nor did I watch SD anymore. I only watched him about a few months into the pandemic. He had expensive tastes in knives which I do not so I found people like you and JB that were more down to earth kind of guys and gave me a honest vibe. Maybe he can pursue his stand up. I hear he calls himself a comedian? At least he has a fall back career?

[@JTsKnifeLife]

I didn't know about this until a couple days ago either.

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Good to see you in another video. Excellent commentary on the situation. Hope you're doing well.

[@tungsten_kirbide]

If he had come out and said he screwed up and not blamed it on his unborn child and the loss of his mom and even his daughter leaving for college. If he had just said “hey I screwed up I’m going to make it right” I might have believed him but he decided to make excuses.

[@Corbs627]

Good to hear from you again JT! I have enjoyed Sliceys channel for a long time now. He started up shortly after I got into the hobby. It was neat to see the channel grow. I’m kind of in the same camp you are on this. I like to think the best of people and I’m hoping this is just a case of someone who got overwhelmed and couldn’t fulfill his obligations. I think it is obvious he could have done a better job at managing things but as you said I’m just hoping that he can make things right and move forward. Thanks for the video!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

I think it's definitely more than not fulfilling obligations. But there is still an opportunity to fix things.

[@tkindschi]

Not a LONG time viewer, (because I'm not a long-time knife guy), but I must say I like your style. Beyond that, the drama is flying over my head, and not sure I want to change that. ;)

[@birdlaw1019]

I'll see you a Claude Lemieux and raise you a Darcy Tucker; good analogy! Sadly, Bryan's actions seem to indicate a pattern of behavior stretched over multiple years. How could a knife maker/company ever see fit to send him items again, after he has sold things he was supposed to review and pass along or use in a GAW? Also, the luxury watch that showed up immediately after his truck marathon fundraiser ended, was extremely suspect and sketchy.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

I really am not trying to investigate all the details, but it does seem that there's potentially more to this than anyone was ever aware. Not good to hear.

1ST time on your channel. Of course the algorithm's are sending me all of these videos lol ... sounds like we have some mutual friends. I completely agree with your description of Steve. I had him with me on a podcast for a while. As i said before, Steve's heart is always in the right place... maybe not always his brain.... lol but i love the guy. Slicey and i are acquaintances and we interacted before. I haven't had him wrong me so i can't comment that way. Shit happens and i think its good for him to make good with all the ppl that have been wronged. I don't think kicking him out of the community is our choice to make ... its a platform of freedom... like our great country. I'm just surprised to hear anyone say hes the best reviewer, personally i find him bland... lol I think that in the end, we should all mind our own business. we are all adults, why can't we just act like it. Everyone chill out and stop making videos about this crap... it just makes it draggggg along. As you said the community doesn't need a savior... anyways ... good video!

[@yuritesticoff1141]

If I gave him thousand+ dollars for a website, he would get sued, and he would have criminal charges against him for fraud. That's not careless or busy, it's criminal. I will sell knives to people who ask or just to three guys I know who are in the business. Other than that, I refuse to put my faith in my generation, with whom the guys I grew up with were lying l,.violent, thieves, none of which had any morals even the "good" ones. It took me almost 30 years to not look at all people like they were out to get me. That's my own problem, at age 36 I've learned to deal with people diff. I never lived like trash, but I grew up poor, started working in a garage at 13, saved money, paid for my own education. Got a hard but good job etc. But it wasn't without major trials bc of liars, thieves and borderline sociopaths that I tolerated to just get along before measures had to be taken . The stuff Brian has done are things children do, or criminals, which one is he? I don't know. But I know one thing, they would eat him alive "inside". Maybe he should do a comedy podcast if he's so into it, where he wouldn't be dealing with merchandise, bc he's never going to live that down as far as a reputation goes, that's just a fact, this the internet, nothing goes away. And those companies that are sending him free knives to review under the condition of they were to be giveaways, aren't going to let him off lightly, they have high dollar legit layers on retainer, and will put him in a court just for fun, and to make a point to the rest of the knife KZbin community. There will be repercussions with knives being sent out to KZbinrs bc of what HE did. He f'd up. It is what it is, in the end he hurt himself the most, but he also made companies think twice about slinging knives for free to tubers, and he stole from people who work for a living. Hopefully he'll learn from this and not slip into deep depression and be a man about it. I've gone through most of my life with serious disorders that affected my mood and the way my brain processes information and that cause severe chronic pain. If I could change how I react to disappointment, failure, hatred from others, he can. But as far as knife world goes, he's toast, at least with guys like me, grew up in the country, but I'm not a hick, I'm not dumb, I worked with my hands my whole life but I've got a bachelor's of science degree in Govt/Religion, and I don't like being played one bit bc I'll give most people a chance or two. Times are changing in this world, and guys that do what Brian did are less and less tolerate by people like me. I've had my life shatteres by dishonest people at work, and in my personal life for things they did and shucked the blame on me. I didn't give up or pout, I moved on to the next thing, why they stayed the same person or self destructed. Let's hope for Brian's and his wife and future child's sake he not only learns from this but changes and not make things even worse.

I am just a guy who likes to watch videos about knives. I appreciate different channels for different reasons. Sometimes I like channels because they are solid and right to the point. Sometimes I like channels that have some comedy involved. As a viewer I can just sit back and watch. Somethings I have noticed is that the knife community is a really tight group. In all groups there is always going to be a drama queen. Someone who actually feeds off the attention. This is true in all social groups. I believe that some channels get so many subscribers that their head swells just a little bit and they take a big head view over the rest of the channels. When I see this happening I turn away from those channels. I have actually seen a channel big head make fun of a subscriber in a way that was inappropriate. I find that to be absolutely ridiculous and it really shows the big head syndrome. This is not appropriate in any society. If you have a subscriber that you don’t agree with just don’t answer the comments and definitely don’t bring it up during a broadcast. There are just some people who can’t help themselves. There are some other channels that R gray in their comedy and don’t alienate anyone whatsoever. I appreciate those channels the most and I share their videos. I really appreciate the knowledge I gain from all channels. They help me so much when I am making a decision to purchase a product. The ones that are tasteful get the most attention. However there are still those that have so many subscribers that their head gets in the way. I understand that you tubers do this for some sort of incentive whether it be monetary or just for fun. I don’t really agree with KZbinrs selling products directly from their channels. And someways I feel that they have a lot more opportunity to have access to knives the common person does not. I understand there is a pass around group and some channels receive knives from their viewers for a review. I don’t have a problem with that. Well I do have a problem with his that KZbinrs don’t have to go through normal channels to gain access to products the common person does not have access to. This is a unfair advantage in the market. Especially on knives that are so scarce that there is nothing available.. I am not the only viewer that has came to this conclusion. Especially when a knife reviewer sells a product he received directly from the company. This is a huge problem. I am totally turned off by this and I view these channels no more. On the other hand I don’t have a problem worth knife reviewer‘s selling knives on consignment from other viewers. I find that to be appropriate in some ways.. Innoway I’m just a knife guy that likes to watch knife reviews and I wish we could just got back to talking about blades and handles with a little bit of comedy for entertainment. It’s up to us to steer clear of the drama queen and the big head channel.

Well, I understand what you mean, and I also notice when channels that grt stuff for free have an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. It does raise questions.

I get it brother. I really do but a 22 minute video of you desperately trying to find a way or actually asking us (the community) if we would accept slicey back is honestly pathetic.. I'm sorry man I just want to be very blunt. Your beating around this whole video ...? Why? It anything you're hurting yourself. You wrote this whole video. Basically asking for the community to put money in your videos (which the vids are cool for sure) but supporting slicey and relating to him about forgetting a thing or two .. like no. Nope slicey I'd done. At first maybe it was on accident. But there's proof over two years now. He knew. HE knows what he did. That's why he made those pathetic videos. No how I know why? Because he still hasn't paid what was due. He asked people to email them. Several was Led on. He is a thief. His "agenda" was exactly that. But damn bro? You could of made this video in 3 minutes. Rambling over and over and over about slicey?? 23 min? Reading off your lines? Don't tell me dicey asked you to make this and promised you some $$ or a shout-out. Sorry to be so blunt. But , it does seem like you are and we're personally involved. Or you wouldn't run this half hour film on your channel brother. You lost my sub and I know many more will unsubscribe. Take care of you and your fam. Think he cares a damn about you?? He hid behind his unborn child. That's the definition of guild. Do some research before rambling about slicey. I have personal proof. (Items sent to me) let me know. I'll show you the email and the knife. I was so embarrassed

1) Didn't write a thing. 2) Never made a single cent off making KZbin videos. Ever. 3) Stopped making KZbin vids a while ago so losing subscribers doesn't matter. 4) Haven't lost subscribers. Thanks for your opinion.

@@JTsKnifeLife I'm just calling it as I see it bro.. you said something like "we need to make the community aware and this is how you can do it , give a little money to the channel" that sounded SO bad man... I'm sorry but it did.
