First Look At All The New Knives! Only the Good Stuff || SHOT Show 2023 Benchmade, CRKT, And More!

[@toddglover2054]

Zac and Ben set the standard for reviews! Both so relatable, solid dudes. The new colorways in the Bugout's are on my list, specifically the one you showed with the Narrows.

[@zacinthewild]

They are super rad!

[@woodswalker64]

First, it was great seeing the 3 or you together again (assuming Jamie was behind the camera)! I’m loving that Topps Eagle Ridge, and the Benchmade Narrows. And of course I’m still trying to get my hands on a Big Banter.

[@BudgetBugout]

Having 2 of my favorite people in one video warms my soul. 😊

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks buddy! It was great meeting up! 👊

[@maxlvledc]

Ben came through..14c28n..so I'll be picking up both a lander and his kit 👌

[@KC-nr3ou]

I don't know how I stumbled across your channel a while back, and I didn't watch any blade hq videos until after you were already gone....but for whatever reason I feel like you are the most trustworthy reviewer in the knife/edc/random coolness corner of youtube. cheers

[@khakicampbell6640]

Excellent video concept---> Only the Good Stuff! 👍 Action packed! Always a pleasure to see Ben, that review bombing was great🤣lol. Thanks guys!

[@zacinthewild]

Glad you dug it!

[@VisionWords]

From all the footage this year, there are a lot of fixed blades I really like but not many folders. This may be the year of the fixed blades for me (not that I need more of either). The Razel Nax and the ERSK were both standouts for me. But Tops and Condor both had a lot of cool stuff.

[@scotthalvorson1161]

Won me over im getting that 14c lander for sure, love you guys

[@GorggW]

I always look forward to your videos, and this one did not disappoint, beautiful knifes, good people, brilliant all around, thank you Zac

[@zacinthewild]

Thank you!

[@lucasmorningstar6290]

Hey Zac.... I don't care what anyone thinks but you are awesome at knife review and giving everyone the new info on the newest knives up to date, been watching your reviews for a while and your my fav👍 Knife reviews would not be cool without you, God bless 🙏

[@zacinthewild]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!🙏

[@JohnSmith-bf1sq]

Love the Zac and Ben duo!!

[@matthewchavez7668]

Love the Ben peek-a-boo! Also loved that you just showed your fav new knives

[@zacinthewild]

Got some more cool stuff cooking too!

[@pasquale78]

Great stuff from CRKT this year. You can always rely on those guys to com with some cool affordable designs. And geez, the stock on the ERSK!

[@ERRORFACE1]

Thank you Mr. awesome vid as always . You and Ben are my fav dudes on the platform. Keep it up and have a nice time in Vegas 👍

[@InconvenientKingdom]

I was really digging the Microtech MSI, TOPS Wood Nymph and the TOPS El Pionero. Spyderco always has cool stuff and I want to buy their stuff just because Eric Glesser seems like such a genuinely nice guy who loves knives.

[@bobjohnson1633]

Spyderco always has the exact same knives.

[@zacinthewild]

Eric is a genuine dude who has probably forgot more about steel,grinds, and knife uses then most of us will ever know👊

[@Mo.89.]

Freudian slip when Zac said pricing instead of weight - the Narrows price is outrageous

[@edcknifetool2145]

You ain't kidding 🤢

[@dolguldur4706]

Its a scam 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

[@clintwestwood3539]

Benchmade is such a shitshow lately. US made companies are seriously getting devoured by European and Chinese companies and they are cashing out as much as they can before this decade is over and them with it.

[@danielcluley870]

Ya, I saw the side profile of the handle and thought "that looks cool", then saw the price and the handle profile/thickness and thought "that's gonna leave a mark!" (in both instances)

[@dolguldur4706]

@@clintwestwood3539 sooner or later chinese company will buy and own american company 🤣🤣

[@BFVgnr]

The Terzuola TPF at the MKM favors, rather heavily, his CQB1 and CQB2 designs for Camillus back in the late 90s, early 00s. I've got on the CQB2, it's an awesome daily carry fixed. Compact, good steel, great blade design and just all around good. Glad to see that design is getting a re-look, especially with the longer handle, and I'm looking forward to possibly updating my CQB2 with that MKM

[@StuffSharpEnough]

Ben is da man!!! So glad to see a "Company" listening to the fans!

[@benbanters]

I like how “company” is in quotes. I’m not quite sure Knafs qualifies as a serious business yet. Maybe once we have adequate heat in the garage, we can drop the quotes? 😝Hard to say.

[@StuffSharpEnough]

@Ben Banters the man himself! 😱😍✌️ I drop the quotes any time. No matter the temperatures.😄 Knafs listens to the community, the prizes aren't exaggerated and the CEO is the communities most beloved mascot. You guys feel like friends making knives. Not like a "company" making money.👍👏👏👏

[@jd4edc]

LoL Ben popping up right as you started to plug Knafs 😂

[@benbanters]

I know my place. 🤣

[@reafkennedy3069]

The one I'm most excited about from CRKT is the new Razel fixed blade in D2. Already have one on pre-order.

[@knifedaddy5791]

I’ve watched like 20 shot show vids and this was my fav! Thanks guys, keep up the great work! Also the new lander looks sweet! Can’t wait to sneak one over the border 😉

[@madzero0]

Great video again!! Something different from all the sales pitches. Got a whole different list I'm looking out for but I forgot to put the Mini Overland on it. So now it is on it.

[@zacinthewild]

Glad it was helpful!

[@VisionWords]

Loved Ben's appearance! :D

[@troymanning3150]

I love that CRKT! Just ordered mine!

[@DylanLey]

Microtech MSI, Boker Z28, Benchmade Immunity, and the Cold Steel Mayhem were the standouts for me this year!

[@zacinthewild]

Great picks!🤘

[@planewalkerdavid1196]

Fun and snappy coverage. Great looking knives to look forward to.

[@samllovejoy1415]

We love zac and Ben!!!

[@zac_in_ak]

I love seeing Ben and Zac together. I already have two landers. I need some scales without the pocket clip holes since I fifth pocket carry them. The narrows looks fire but the price is way overpriced for what it is

[@zacinthewild]

Ben is the man!

[@benbanters]

Yessss. You should totally delete the holes and print your own. Fusion 360 trials are free. 🤓

[@ST-ue5fb]

Great video, as always. Fantastic to see Ben sneaking up on you. Such great guys!!

[@classicradio]

whats a good knife to get started in wood carving?

[@_everydayelias]

Best recap of all the shot show videos I've watched! Also Tops please throw out that long name and just name it The Gator

[@strawman817]

I'll be waiting for the new lander. You can't go wrong with 14c28n and micarta.

[@jamesadowney]

That scene with Ben sneaking up is the best part of this video. And I want that new Lander with 14c28n and micarta! You took a knife of intrigue for me and tipped it into "I want that."

[@paulhorn24]

Yes! Ben appearing behind the knifes is so funny. And than he starts to play with them like with toy soldiers or puppets!!! 😂😂😂

[@tvela595]

Great vid- always enjoy winding down at the end of the week watching your stuff :)

[@michaelmetler6315]

Cold steel Mayhem and Lynn Thomson signature Koban please.

[@michaelmetler6315]

Buck as a cool slip joint in micarta This year.

[@TryNxtTime762]

Ben genuinely seems like the most easy-going type of guy he’s always super genuine and always has a smile on his face,but I would be too if I had that job lol

[@VeniVidiVid]

Love the Ben photo bomb! 😂

[@eriktaylor5704]

Great coverage of shot show.

[@coyote4936]

i like the micarta handle lander

[@zacinthewild]

Same!

[@namisol3imani839]

The buck scout alpha looks 🔥

[@KF7UCK]

As a firefighter, that Tops Snake River Rescue ticks all of the boxes and none of the unnecessary ones that most rescue knives do… Blunt tip for prying sliding doors and windows out of their tracks… Check! A few serrations just in case… Check! The most important part: No oxygen wrench!!! We tie those things to our O2 bottles and hide extras all over our bags. No seat belt cutter!!!! A knife blade cuts seat belts fine. No glass breaker to ruin pants and knuckles!!!! Again… they’re in every bag we carry, and to be honest, when a vehicle rolls, the windows usually break. I don’t think I’ve ever needed a glass breaker in my 20 years of responding to car wrecks.

[@AL3X_H76]

Hey Zac, cool video again, thanks for showing. I like the way you do it, funny and informative to watch. Stay healthy and safe, greetings from germany 👋

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks so much for tuning in!👊

[@MrWinger1951]

Will be purchasing the MKM TPF when released.

[@drewp_edc]

Great video! I really enjoy these show coverages.

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks🤘

[@chipe420]

Those boker salvage Damascus knives are true art pieces. I’d love to own one some day.

[@95666]

Always good content on your channel. Video quality so good, is this the Sony a7?

[@twiggywolfedc]

Always a great video. Love how Ben was hiding 😂

[@whammofammo7346]

Thanks for a great video- CRKT bringing lots of good stuff. I see three new CRKTS in my collection.

[@awwwshucks443]

Really happy about the 14c28n lander. I am in the pnw and d2 is annoying with the wet. Great upgrade!

[@the37thagent31]

That new knife Ben showed looks AMAZING!!

[@markanderson8677]

I'm looking forward to the smaller Buck Alpha being available.

[@bobjohnson1633]

You mean the Bradford guardian 3 by BUCK?

[@justindelarosa9752]

That CRKT LCBK got my attention right away but that Buck Alpha Scout, take my money! Another great video my friend! Keep up the great content.

[@NG_Ark]

Always great to see you guys. Bought the Nax on Friday as something fun and different. Where are the pocket checks 😅

[@frankhunt5018]

So has Tops released the Eagle Ridge Survival Knife yet? I can't find it online.

[@knifetrain3118]

Very cool stuff! A new “Lander” in Micarta I’m definitely in! 👍

[@zacinthewild]

Same!

[@lowmofo]

What have you been doing to the knuckles on your right hand bro?

[@littlemouse7066]

that Buck Alpha scout would be perfect for me to buy if it wasn't made in too expensive materials. the same in 14c28n or nitro v?

[@snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

The Knax looks good and I want one BUT I have doubts about the slim handle stock plus drilled pivot holes, for it's intended use. I think there may be trouble ahead, even though 1075 will be tough. Keen to see the torture trial!

[@lorenfuchek105]

Good to see you at shot show again. I hope Jamie was behind to camera. Love the content yall put out. Keep up the amazing work.

[@zacinthewild]

Jamie is definitely behind the camera😁🤘

[@jjabberjaw8822]

OK, I guess I'm buying another Lander. I already have a few, but that stonewashed 14c28n looks excellent.

[@edc_victor]

The Overland Compact seems a solid option for me!

[@ForRealConfused]

Great video

[@cylentone]

Great format - "only the good stuff" and very personal comments about them 😎

[@Luk_at_me]

Great knives and Ben as background master 👏 👍 I'm really impressed by Boker P51 is awesome 🫡

[@jasonscott6906]

Great video Zac and Jaime! Always great to see Ben. His micarta lander looks great. Thanks for the awesome knife reviews, keep up the awesome work.

[@jasonscott6906]

Oh that Mkm fixed blade is really cool.

[@richardl5956]

Best Shot Show review yet 👏

[@gaslampnation735]

What is the scoop on the CIVIVI Kelvin cleaver?

[@timnichol6566]

Not featured but I can't wait to get my hands on the military 2. Very excited....

[@luket557]

What's your thoughts on the spyderco stretch 2 in k390? I have it in a cart but the back lock is throwing me off. Looks like the knife can still be flicked out. Just not as fidgety as some others and I'd be mostly getting it for the steel anyways

[@zacinthewild]

Definitely not very fidgety. Great knife and steel for sure from my opinion.

[@luket557]

@@zacinthewild Thanks Zac. Made the purchase from Bladeops 👍

[@minxm3378]

Straight to the point love it

[@zacinthewild]

Glad to hear it was useful!

[@hueginvieny7959]

I just bought the cold steel boot knife because of you and I'm looking for a good knife to keep in my flight bag so thanks for the reviews

[@zacinthewild]

Glad you ground it helpful! Let me know what you think👊

[@paultilde]

Thank you for video!

[@zacinthewild]

Thank you for watching!👊

[@CertifiedSunset]

I'de call that Tops Knife the "Bullshark" since it doesn't have a traditional tip to the balde and it's meant to be used in the water.

[@Dungame849]

Thank you so much Ben. So funny

[@sethmayo5542]

Love the Razel Nax. Sounds inspired by the seax knife. Great video I just got a fast back and I will definitely be modifying it and would love to see what you would do with it. I'm thinking of a color change and removing the nub of the pocket clip because I think it makes the clip to aggressive

[@zacinthewild]

Awesome!

[@kushviper]

Was hoping you’d talk about the MicroJimbo. No Spyderco at all?

[@zacinthewild]

Got something special brewing for them😁

[@cjenkins212]

Has anyone ever heard of the baliscissors? They look wild! Definitely worth looking up on KZbin!

[@MrJeb2100]

Great video. Go Buck!

[@airtadeo8570]

LMAO 🤣 ZAC, I literally heard nothing you said while Ben was puppeteering in the background

[@dickelstephen]

What a perfect video and wow for the MKM TPF. That’s going on the shopping list for sure!!!

[@zacinthewild]

It’s really cool!

[@dickelstephen]

@@zacinthewild Did MKM mention anything about HRC?

[@roostermasa0956]

Awsome video and I always wanted to go to shot show one day

[@Grayson_Baker]

Ben in the background. So stealthy!

[@knifenest7229]

I’m interested in that MKM

[@jonhughes2488]

Great video, best shot show video by far!!! I really thing the CRKT Nax is the winner, so freaking cool looking! Great job Zac and Jamie!!

[@Jasonsminiadventure]

I'm really excited about a lot of CRKTs new products.

[@slideordie95]

I would like the knax with a smaller handle for an edc

[@donsisco7118]

Awesome Video 👊👍

[@capnpicard6146]

I dont know what i would use the knaxe for but i must have it.

[@Ratchman_5000]

There's nothing quite like "Jimping in all the right places!" 😄

[@williammunsey3871]

That tops knife needs to be called the “Ox Bow”. Big bend in a river that slows flow so you don’t have to worry about being able to swim.

[@safromnc8616]

Am really excited for you guys to put that CRKT ax/knife hybrid thing through the paces (altho I'll probably get one regardless). When is the new Lander hitting ?

[@megacab]

I believe mid February

[@The4cp]

Alot of cool stuff this year. Just got my Big Banter! Ben why? How did you make perfect?

[@zacinthewild]

I’m totally sending him this comment🤣

[@benbanters]

It’s witchcraft really. 🧙

[@ggmanatee]

Feel like the Benchmade Narrows is going to have the same problem as the Cold Steel Code 4 where it's almost too thin for the larger frame. Frankly it almost looks like a code 4 with an axis lock.

[@benjamincarter6095]

Narrows is sweet. I want one.

[@jerlialprophet]

I would call that Tops the “Dive Bar.” Also, why would they not use Cruwear for that Benchmade?

[@EDCandLace]

Damn Zac growing like a weed, been here since 4k and you 100% deserve the success

[@michaelmetler6315]

The Case Congress in abalone 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@zacinthewild]

Case had some real good stuff!

[@tybeejeffro]

Zac that new employee designed dive knife from TOPS definitely needs to be named "Deep Six"!

[@tr0ubl3mak3r]

10:32 cameo apprentice by the man himself... Joe! 😆

[@zacinthewild]

Love that dude!

[@myvids3115]

Nice, this Lander version is the thing for me. I hope MKM has the heat threat covered. Italian M390 is not that hot.
