The Stump Lifter features a 154cm blade in a hollow grind and also includes a bottle opener for your beers and Sodas.

This is just the beginning of Advanced Knife Bros "Stump Series". Next will be The Stump Splitter, The Stump Scratcher, and the much anticipated Stump Humper!

[@9mmmike642]

I’d like to preorder the Stump Humper immediately if not sooner!

[@MG-me7iw]

Will there be a Mother Stumper?

[@nandayane]

I’d order a Stump Splitter, A big advanced chopper sounds great to me.

[@joshuastroud67]

Please make the stump series happen!

[@flipflat4814]

If a stump has a big backside I'm not against humping it, don't judge me 🤷.

[@maxlvledc]

I am seriously proud of what you have done..I'll be getting one 👌

[@patrickbledsoe2176]

I wanna see this review

[@craigmiller8654]

With the current crop of cookie cutter youtubers pretty much only reviewing chinese imports and pretty much only talking about how fidgety it is and how many ways it can be "deployed", your channel is quite refreshing. TYFYS...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I mean I do this too- but I like to make sure I put it all in perspective.

[@rotationalbox588]

Everything is made in china

[@landontreinen3062]

Hell yeah brother

[@KarenS8877]

My son just surprised me with the yellow one. I love the way it opens. It can be dramatic if needed💯

[@shimm758]

First KZbinr who made good design

[@joshuastroud67]

I'd love a brown burlap micarta version! Your walk through the whole process was super interesting. I hope these do phenomenally

[@SandboxQuint]

Can't wait for the Stump Chump fixed blade bushcraft knife.

[@arrowheadguys7637]

I swear if these sell out as fast as a GEC drop I'm going to lose my mind...

[@Ian.stearns]

I absolutely love hearing your thoughts on the design process and prefer to hear all the details in a longer video as this one. I appreciate all the attention to detail and keeping the price point on the lower side, this hopefully allows me to grab 2, I’ve been eyeing a green and yellow/orange. I REALLY hope to see more runs in different colors (purple would be cool) and future pattern options. ❤

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

If these don’t linger around on the shelf too long more colors are gonna be coming.

[@nandayane]

Purple Bone!

[@Leftyotism]

I will restrain myself from making a lewd comment about purple bone! @@nandayane (Sounds great though!)

[@warpedweirdo]

I received the knife today. Thanks, Mr. Bro, for the time and effort you spent on this project; I'm *very* happy with my new knife! And it came _frickin'_ sharp.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I love it! I appreciate the kind words!

[@davidfortner9620]

AKB, 4 year watcher. Wishing you the best and happy holidays to you and your family!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you! You too!

[@Nutsackfart]

​@@AdvancedKnifeBroHow about you review a good knife like a knafs lander 3. Ty.

[@area51.52]

I love the screwed pivot construction. Great choice. I’m going to grab a zombie green one. They’re really good looking.

[@mikereese15]

I gotta tell ya. I am not by any means a traditional knife guy. But man are these gorgeous. That blue denim and the orange/yellow bone are sweet. Looks great man. Hope they sell out quick for you and that this is only the beginning❤🎉

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

The stump reminds me of Log on Ren & Stimpy (a good thing).

[@mourndogs]

I'm too broke to be a collector but damn the fomo is strong here. I got a couple old slip joints from my grandpa when he passed and I've always loved the simplicity of a knife that doesn't get you weird looks in public. Beautiful work my dude.

[@RadDadisRad]

I would call that yellow one “Buttered Popcorn Jellybean”

[@christophwilhelm6431]

Adding the orange was the right choice

[@jonnyg5510]

I don't want you to fail, quite the contrary. I'm really excited for you and excited to have something you designed. You know your shit and the loudest boos come from the cheapest seats. Keep doing what you're doing, bro!

[@b-rj1171]

The yellow one really looks like a beer.! 😃😎

[@xeoknight845]

Video they sent of the bottle opener is super funny, big fan of qsp now

[@EastCoastMan603]

Your use of large white block lettering and neon red/green/pink arrows, in the thumbnail is impressive. Most impressive. But you are not a bought and paid for influencer yet. “You must feel the influence flow around you. Here, between you, me, the stump, the knife, yes, even between the hand and the slip joint .”

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

grafic design is my passion

[@robmusial]

Got the blue micarta delivered and liked it so much I bought the bone one as well. Great quality and great "fidgetability"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nice!!!

[@nor4277]

This is one of coolest knifes I have ever seen.I love the orange one .but probably won't be buying one, disable vets aren't rich.but I had to tell you ,you design a very amazing looking knife.I hope you keep designing knifes.

[@jimshort9266]

Would definitely like a single blade version. Normally I carry a folder with a clip but something with less bulk to drop in the pocket as a back up or as primary when wearing slacks would be great. I missed this one but will keep my eye out for the next one. The 154CM and colors on the bone were great choices.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The stump fish is kinda the spiritual Successor to this. A bit more of a sunfish proportions and a single blade. Check out my Instagram feed for the “concept art” and the CAD.

[@Neeverseen]

What an unexpected and welcome surprise. Wouldn't have thought that you'd go for a traditional design. Might actually import this to Germany.

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

Congrats AKBro!!!

[@erhon5]

I appreciate the look behind the scenes! Super excited for this drop

[@5door]

Whale Canner is the greatest name I’ve ever seen. How about a limited run with dyed whale bone, maybe encase the packaging in blubber? (In for green…good work AKB)

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

Nice one bro! Congrats. Looking forward to it👊🏻

[@Steve_G88]

Looks great!

[@HoldenMyOwn]

I got mine as soon as it went live!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!

[@richterknives]

I’ve watched about 70% of your videos. I’m a fan for sure. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve laughed out loud watching this. I commented on this video because this is the most interesting and captivating video I’ve seen you make. I commend you for trying this and going through with it. It’s a big investment. I love how you went through every detail and all the drawings. Love the half stops. One of my favorite knives it’s the GEC Johnny in the spot and it’s obvious it has some of that vibe. So yours is singing to me. Great video bud.

[@drp6574]

Using a hollow grind was a great call, glad you went with it. Should be easy to keep a screaming edge on it!!

[@patrickmunneke8348]

Man i want one. Hopefully you made enough for everyone.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don’t know who everyone is. But I made enough for the hardcore fans. If they sell out I’ll do a run in a different color.

[@conjandysecurity]

This is awesome. Looking forward to adding one to the collection.

[@Christopherr380]

Can’t wait to get one

[@gregtomamichel973]

Very beautiful creations. Nicely done.

[@artemkanarchist]

Thanks for your work, I really appreciate you doing the stuff you do. The knife really did turn out beautiful!

[@Aaaaggg300]

Beautiful work brother !!!

[@KungFuTweety1]

Congratulations 🎉 looks great!

[@dropkickengage2194]

Just got the blue version delivered this afternoon. Cool little knife, good work AKB.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yes!!!!!!

[@RadDadisRad]

I use leather sleeves for my OTF and Balisong knives. Nice to see you offer sleeves for your Stump Lifter. Side note for anyone looking to add a sleeve to their EDC. I suggest having the leather worker add a rivet hole in a top corner so you can add a leather or paracord tail this allows the tail to hang slightly out of the pocket so you can draw the sleeve and then release the knife.

[@Jestickals]

Where to get the sleeves? (Sorry if it's mentioned in the video, I won't have time to watch it all for a bit.)

[@gadsden8745]

Nice knife, will look forward to ordering one when it releases.

[@dlrmon1]

Interesting process you went through...Congratulations!

[@marshalllaw123]

I’m excited to get me one!!

[@campbellwallace3774]

I've been watching for years, always love your humor and style of video making, I always take your comments and advice on knives and i can't wait to get my hands on this

[@Tuffer12]

Awesome video! Love the knife

[@chaddamron3877]

Great vid - nice snapshot into the process - looking fwd to these dropping - congrats again amigo 💥👍

[@user-zg3vs9mt5k]

Love that amber! Great design.

[@craigrj232323]

Gonna have to pick one up. Doing my best to help keep you off the mean streets. Love your videos.

[@thx712517]

Congrats, Advanced Knife Bro. Great to see you succeed!

[@rickyhurtt5568]

I love the knife. Just hope I can afford one before they're gone. Thanks for the video. Always love em

[@reaganm.8818]

These look awesome, congratulations! Thank you for keeping it affordable for us average knife bros!

[@ExploretheMallee]

Congrats, man. They look great - good luck 👍

[@RyanPennington87]

Congratulations. Beautiful knife.

[@Spacedog_42]

I was just looking to get into collecting slip joints recently. Stumbled upon your channel to find this. I have a Boker Coffin in magnacut on order and just placed an order for your Denim Micarta Stump Lifter. I like the choice of 154CM. The yellow bone sold out pretty quick, but I look forward to whatever you decide to release in the future.

[@knifetrain3118]

Very cool looking knife! Great job. 👏

[@NoNotThatPaul]

Stump Lifter ordered!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Awesome!!!!

[@Player_Review]

Congrats on the production, the work looks good. Reminds me of a German-made (flagship) Boker I owned for a day or so and then returned the $200-300 beauty. While I'm perplexed that it has zero skullcrushers, I think it is impressive you were able to do what you did do and am excited what you could do with the right blademaker when a relationship is formed or one of the behemoths wants to increase their net revenue streams. Basically, everything about this you and BladeHQ and people you brought in from complementary industries, it is all _so_ frickin' cool! I'm just pissed that not every blademaker in the world begged for you to have them do your project and bent over to accommodate your vision, for parts plus labor or something below wholesale cost. Maybe your next project will be a kukri, but instead of shoehorn polished garbage scabbard it'll be a nice stitched leather and instead of the crudely machined wood or horn handle it'll be micarta, but I hope you still have the blades made out of salvaged Mercedes leafsprings. I'll set up a crucible in my backyard, where I hypothetically can make one knife every few months with a railroad tie. In seventy years I should be all tooled up for production of whatever orders you're wanting my factory to fulfill. Trend charts indicate that ballistic knives could be quite popular in 2094!

[@Sin_Dinero]

Can’t wait to get me that green bone, beautiful knife man!

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

Congratulations on designing your own knife! The cigar/Churchill pattern is a good choice and in one of my favorite steels. Happy New Year!

[@syco8490]

gratz on the design, looks cool and it will be useful

[@kymcopyriot9776]

You are a legend AKB - well done. Looking forward to repping the Stumpy from down here in Australia.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Look for an email from me in the next week about yours.

[@crookmcstealie]

The style of this channel keeps me watching, I've been pretty bored with watching most knife channels that feel like infomercials but I'll keep watching your channel and DBK probably forever. Your design is great, I don't drink beer but I love a cooling beverage in a glass bottle so if I can afford it I'll be attempting to get one of those. Great job!

[@PMCKnivesAndTools]

Looks cool mate

[@zerobladehonmono]

I've basically quit knives at this point but just had to get one right as they came up on BHQ. Even have to course mine through a forwarder as they don't ship to me, but I'll be more than happy to carry this daily. Was hard to pick between the green and the yellow, but went with the green after a coin toss. Looking forward to getting it in a month or so!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nice!!!!! Thank you!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!!!!!

[@MitchBollig]

Quintessential AKB...exuding modesty, self-deprecating essay brought to life in a most gloriously assembled and edited fashion. Lo to those who were too 🟨 to stick around and hear about cousin Brad and the tab lifter😂. My review won't be for a month or 2, but I can tell you as a 4 year follower on the Toobs, your knife juxtaposes greatly with everything your channel represents, including the stump shield which is indistinguishable from a coffee cup and a garbage can. 👊

[@dourmoose]

Sucker for the blue. Are you now Boutique Knife Bro? 😎

[@blueswan2175]

Thanks for the insight about your hobby,very interesting 👍👍

[@davidcooke8825]

That’s a beautiful little knife. Congrats! Looking forward to the AKB kukri.

[@justinwood3054]

Great job! I set up notification on Blade HQ to get one.

[@jeremybodell3619]

You had me at hollow grind

[@scottnovak4303]

I ordered one. Looks good to me and I’m glad to support the channel!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!!!

[@ShawneeUnion]

Congrats on making this knife a reality. Awesome that you learned how the sausage is made.

[@schaduwfarspire9493]

I also got mine today. Being a slip joint fan, it will make a great addition. I hope it is ok to mention I got here via Metal Complex.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

No man… he is a great dude. Love him

[@NoNotThatPaul]

ALLL Purpose Stump Lifter delivered! The most expensive knife I have ever bought (shipping to Canada, customs) and I have an Esee 4 (second most expensive knife I have). Love it, looks great! Good work AKB

I'll definitely be getting one :)

This should be goodish

[@datafoxy]

You are very cool story bro. I hope this does very well. Looking forward to buying this.

[@benjamin9901]

As someone obsessed with creative and design processes, i appreciate this video

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I tried to make it come across that there are compromises- and just because one place has done it like this- doesn’t mean this place can. And it’s truly a collaboration between the designer and the maker

[@benjamin9901]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro I'm not a knife collector anymore although I enjoy your videos, but this one has me tempted. I think it's a great design at a great price point and the compromises worked out well

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

Merry New Year's yipikahyaaaah!!!!!

[@retroransom9861]

i am into these a lot!

[@mcsquirgle]

super excited for the stump lifter! more cover options in the future would be great! maybe a jigged bone? or maybe even.... MAGNACUT??? more patterns is a must btw if these sell out as fast as I anticipate they will

[@motaman8074]

Extremely dope.

[@NWEDC]

After seeing that last scene, I would rename it the Stump Splitter. Nice design, congrats! I will be snagging one.

[@jamberrycloud]

Oh man I would love a wide boy whaler with main blade and secondary full-sized fork.

[@wsieber89]

Do I need one? Definitely not. Am I buying one? Absolutely.

[@codybroadway8496]

This is dope I’m pumped. The knife looks really awesome man. It looks like the most refined version of my grandfathers, wet dream. I have the funds set aside and my schedule ready to race everyone at 11 am central he’ll I even made a blade hq account

The real drop is tomorrow. There was an early patron drop today for an hour. 10am Mountain time. Be there!

[@patrickwashburn4501]

I just picked up another yellow one. Looking forward to these.

[@1718bb]

I've been carrying it since I got it. No joke it is my new most favorite knife. Love that slicey hollow ground. Love the classic look. Love how heavy it is.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It’s a bit of a chunker- but within reason. I’m glad you like it… I tried to do the things I like to see in slip joint. And I’m so glad QSP finished these as well as they did.

[@Mike-mi3yw]

I got mine today. It’s better than i even imagined. The yellow is waaaaay more attractive in person than on video. Enjoying the design and QSP really knocked it out of the park.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yes they did. Glad you like it- they are very nice looking in person

[@warpedweirdo]

I got mine today, and you're absolutely correct: the knife is way more beautiful in person!

[@MrAliaspostmortem]

It's a great design, I believe. 👍
