NEW Old Pocket Knives - Modern Traditionals | Knife Banter Ep. 78

[@andyy1591]

It's funny that u guys talk about knives biting. My family has a running joke that a knife isn't really yours until it cuts you. I've actually given a knife to my brother cause it bit him before it bit me.

[@ArcticGator]

back when the k.i.s.s knives first came out i got one for my dad and one for my uncle, a day later my uncle went to use his to cut something and sliced his thumb pad wide open after opening it upside down and putting his thumb on the blade when he went to use it, so we joked about the whole "now its yours it drew blood" thing lol

[@ezraveno558]

Oh dear lord. That man's voice was speaking through my headphones and into my soul. He nearly put to sleep countless times throughout the episode with his deep, smooth, melodic voice. He's out there giving Morgan Freeman a run for his money.

I carry a traditional trapper every day and have always carried a traditional pattern throughout my hole time carrying knives it honestly makes me feel proud to carry around what my oldies used because no matter what anyone says... It works. Papa bless from Down Under love the vids keep up the good work 👉😎👉

[@abesapien9930]

That knife maker in the middle doesn't need to be so humble--his work is absolutely incredible! I hope he continues making great knives.

[@solelyedc]

His 3 custom really and honestly were the most attractive ones on the table .. such nice work he does 👏

[@03_austindrake88]

Jared Oeser's knives are so incredibly awesome. I love his attention to detail, fit n finish, and his blade shapes.

[@conservativecrusader80]

Jared is the most chill knife banter guest ever! Dude is hypnotic.

[@DRNKonTIDE]

I don't think I've yet seen another knife enthusiast with the level of quiet dignity that Jared has. Pretty awesome.

[@artsohc]

Dang, I was hoping you guys would pick your favorite at the end of the video. Also, I could fall asleep happy listening to Jared talk about knives.

[@blitzshoba123]

I really like Jared Oeser's knives. Great to hear him talk about knives.

[@BenKickert]

I like Zac and I like Kurt, but it just isn't the same without Ben.

[@BenKickert]

How can you not have Ben on this episode... nearly everything on the table is less than 3" and he would be able to get his finger end of all of them.... Granted, none of them are "Ben Blue"

CalypsoRaz not Portland, it comes from China....

[@calypsoraz4318]

@@jfpinkston1 perhaps their manufacturing but, the business resides in Portland. Hipster mecca

[@joeymorales2565]

Omg I really can't believe anyone could buy those knives. Legitimately nothing special about them. Below average materials at super steel prices

[@Bob-kn5gw]

Joey Morales same I was so close to getting one but decided to go with a benchmade thank God

[@sanulsomfan1]

Fallkniven is a Swedish company. And the real name "Fällkniven" actually means "the folding knife" In Sweden we have a long tradition of steel making. So we make shure to put the best steel in our knives :)

[@paul_schuette]

Wow! Jared's designs are stunning! I love how he blends old and new styling so seamlessly.

[@walkerprescott393]

I know right? That one with the Damascus scales and undescribed blade shape was gorgous!!!

[@paul_schuette]

Walker Prescott Pretty fantastic. I think my favorite is the Persian style one. The scale material and shield are just phenomenal.

[@The4cp]

I had a moment like that in a grocery store. My buddy needed to open his coffee beans for the grinder so I just got my PM2 out. Old ladies were staring in a panic. Yet they said they felt safe with him open carrying his gun like 20 seconds earlier!

[@lxplumm1]

This video makes it easy to see the difference between a manufactured knife and one that was hand made.

[@oud25]

I love how calm he is the whole episode and then just i just cut myself.

[@CATDABOSS]

Yet again, whoever edits these videos is fantastic and deserves a raise

[@-a13x-75]

i honestly wish i still had a war hardened grandpa to talk about knives and other cool shit like that. i'd kill to see his reaction to getting him a really nice knife he's never seen before... there's nothing like some man to man bonding time between a grandfather and grandson

[@enochjukie]

Really appreciated seeing Jared Oeser on the show. Super classy dude with some fantastic custom knives!

Okay I gotta ask it because I slacked off for a while.. where the hell is Ben where the hell is my whaaaaat issssss up guys where is he fellas what have you done.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. That said, it's always been a team over here, and it's my turn to run a more supporting role for the rest of the team. Plus, it's hard to keep my hair and nails so perfect in these things. My hair stylist bills are through the roof! ;) -Ben

[@cintage]

Oeser makes some gorgeous knives. The longer I collect knives, the more I like slipjoints.

[@oddyknocky5948]

the hole in the kizer slipjoint is for onehandedopening. thats why i love it. i live in bavaria ( germany) and its illegal 2 carry onehandedopening and locking.

[@citystar87]

Production serge panchenko so excited I have a couple customs can't wait for this line to come out 😀👍

[@walkerprescott393]

I have no problems with traditional patterns being modernized with newer materials and dare I say, the inclusion of a pocket clip? I love my old slip joints and I still have the first knife I ever bought when I was 12, a case sod buster jr! It's worn, modified a little, sharp as hell, and well traveled! I would love to see a modernized version with g-10 scales and vg-10 or sv-35 blades and a lanyard hole, I'd buy one!!!!

[@strahinja907]

Case sod buster jr

[@yajgal4141]

Dude in the middle looks and sounds like Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne

[@DrTittieSprinkles]

Dammit I was enjoying the video and Jared's voice put my grown ass to sleep last night with that soothing voice. It's the equivalent of laying on the couch with a blanket on after Thanksgiving.

[@gavocrazy]

Ben's so much cooler now that he put on a bit of weight and grew the beard

[@shaneintegra]

Jared almost has a ASMR vibe going on when he talks lol

[@leadballoon06]

That Persian is beautiful!!! 😮😮😮😮

[@esporev]

that Persian is amazing.... he is a real artist

[@connormako4455]

THIS WAS THE VIDEO I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! I have always been looking for a modern traditional but never found one I really liked. I’m definitely going to look into these.

[@drdoll1]

I tell you what, I think Jered Oesher has designed to best looking and highest quality fit an finish of any traditional type knife maker out there. I've signed up for the lottery style purchasing method. I'm very impressed.

[@mcscotty325]

Love this video. I'm all about the art and aesthetics of knife making.

Hey it’s Craig the sak collector. You know this video was right up my street been in UK. Wow awesome 👏🏻 as always Zac loved it brother. Some great knives on the table. And now some more slips joints I want. Awesome have a great weekend lads. Cheers 👊🏻🥃

[@chibbi0382]

I carry a victorinox pocket pal ( mainly because I live in the UK) and I find having a slipjpint is enough because I don't on a normal day have to cut down a door but maybe just open a box, in which case a slipjoint is perfect.

[@jacobstout9769]

That Persian blade is stunning.

[@dave308ek92646]

Jared Oeser makes some amazing knives, nice to see him in this group.

[@13bravoredleg18]

My favorite beater slip joint is a Douk-Douk. My expensive slip joint will always be a Gene David Crossbow Laguiole. I love stout backsprings!

[@redclaydipper]

That mans voice is just so damn soothing

[@RambunctiousHamster]

Took me forever, but I think I finally found the most unpopular knife on Blade HQ. Looks like it's the "Byrd Meadowlark 2 Lockback Knife Brown FRN (2.84" Satin Ser) BY04PSBN2" Took me almost an hour of clicking next on the knife page from the back(this was not the way to go about it, lol). Over 30,000 knives, and sooooo many are unavailable. But I found it! Please don't send me this knife if this won some type of contest, no one wants a brown Byrd Meadowlark, haha.

[@cailiqingsheng]

This J's knives are real arts!!!

[@paulyoder865]

Simply by adding a liner lock to a traditional pocket knife pattern will make it a hot seller. The main objection to slip joint knives is the lack of a lock.

Ok where’s my boi Ben at you don’t just kill off the main character before u even get to episode 100 😭😭

Are we ever going to get the epic duo together again?? ;-(((( I love Kurt but Zak and Ben are just such an epic pair and I miss their bromance. Always enjoy the videos, thanks so much BHQ!

[@mj1653]

I carry all types of blades but to be honest the overwhelming majority of the things I would use a pocket knife for on a daily basis can easily be handled by a small slip joint traditional style knife, glad to see them modernizing. Everyone likes to own a big flashy flipper or tactical knife until you have to pull it out in public and use it, then you get the odd looks and scare children...

[@MrJonthebassist]

This is a great video! I would love to see a video like this about modern friction folders!

[@HezakiahRhinehart]

Would you guys ever consider expanding you expertise to items such a swords and historical knife type tools and weapons. I am a huge fan of historical swords, particularly medieval bastard swords and I would love have your guys knowledge touch on this subject area from time to time.

[@nathenwallis5664]

Name suggestion for the blade shape on Oeser's dress model- the Sheeps-hawk

[@tonygabriel4020]

Great video but the Oeser “reverse sheep’s foot” with the blue scale is a beauty beyond belief ... cannot believe anyone would find it objectionable!

[@lewisward4359]

Jared Oeser beautiful knives. I considered a Benchmade Proper a year or so ago, but didn't like it, being a more traditional knife user. I still Often carry my 1940's vintage Schrade Walden carpenter. Instead of the Proper I went with the Benchmade Emissary 3.5" which I love, but can only carry when hunting and/or fishing. Last summer I picked up a Lionsteel Roundhead M390 with carbon fiber scales, another classic modern traditional.Blade HQ doesn't carry.... I have a few Queen Cutlery Ross Oar Carvers that are getting scarce as hen's teeth.I tried a small Case Whittler with CV steel. Doesn't cut it for woodcarving. Th best is still the Henckels Congress with 4 blades or even the 6 blade version. Great steel. I grew up with carbon steel blades (Case and Schrade) in up until the mid 70's and have often been disappointed with stainless until I tried a Benchmade mini griptillian 154CM and over a decade ago I picked up the SOG Vulcan with VG10, for the time a pretty good steel. Not sure I would pick up another modern traditional unless it was designed for woodcarving.

[@ulfrinn8783]

For having a channel dedicated to knives, and a website that sells them, they're not very well educated on a lot of these. Half stops on slipjoints isn't what stops them from closing on, and cutting your fingers, holding them properly is what does.

[@Mrbowgod]

My biggest issue with this video is you guys showed no Spyderco slip joints. I wanted his opinion on the roadie

[@DrMarlowski]

Not sure what's smoother: his knives or his voice
