Nick Shabazz reviews 8lbs of knives from the TSA

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

The bear paw knife is a knife I got for my mom in the early thousands! It had to be 2000 or 2001.I tried to engrave her name, Aleisha not Alaska, but being 8 or 9 years oldish, I wasn’t very good. This is incredible! It was in my dads old hunting backpack she tried to use as a carry on going to Colorado and she never checked the pockets. I can’t believe this, I remember it being claimed a few years ago and the story she told about it but what are the literal odds that ended up here. It was claimed by TSA in 2012, and its almost 20 years old now. I’m sending this to my mom and dad right away, what a small world. This video pops up in my recommendations for whatever reason, I watch it because why not, and I made it this far in the video to see it. My excitement can’t be shared by the rest of the viewers, BUT THIS IS LITERALLY UNREAL with the set of coincidences leading up to this.

True story.....I was doing a bag check on a female passenger who forgot she had a knife. Pulled it out... received a wonderful story how it was a very expressive knife her boyfriend gave her for Christmas. She wasn't sure it could ever be replaced....me looking straight at her.....no offense but this is from home Depot, I think it was a black Friday deal. Your man probably got three of these for $10 or $20 bucks! ....she was pissed off. Told me to toss it and she stormed off.

[@philipendres1882]

Some people don't even spend $5 on their knives...

Why would somebody buy tsa knives in bulk? You won't find rare or expensive knives because people go through them before bagging them. People who claim to find expensive knives probably toss in a knife they bought.

[@Odin9Realms]

True story, I had a small gerber in my backpack I forgot about and the Toilet Seat Administration (TSA) found it so I gave it up, about a year later I was browsing eBay for used knives and came across the same model gerber being sold in a TSA lot from a guy in Atlanta (where I had to give it up) further inspection showed that it was my knife. I could tell due to some unique blemishes on the blade and scales, so I ended up buying my same knife back just for the story, since this was a cheap backup knife anyway.

I don't mind crkt but they don't have many truly budget friendly knives. They have way to many 8cr knives that they want 50-60 dollars for. I prefer Kershaw because they seem to have more affordable blades though they have poor material knives that they want over 50 bucks for too just not as many imo. Cold steel is a good one though for price to material ratio. Nowadays I prefer Chinese brands because I can get way better materials for the price.

Mine is from 2005/6 and it was my entry knife into the knife world and it surprisingly has very smooth and fast opening and no side to side blade play. Gave it a razor sharp free hand sharpening. The other thing is if I lose it at work it won't bother me. My usual carry is a Buck 110 aluminum, Buck 560 titanium, Gerber 06 Manual or Adamas. I'll be honest though, I almost had to give myself a pep talk before I started carrying the Paraframe again.
