This was such a fun video to make! Hope you all enjoy. Support my channel on Patreon: bit.ly/melissa...

[@glennbrymer4065]

I really like seeing those blades that are used everyday for year's! They have character. You did real well on getting people to open up. Everybody was proud of thier knives!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Right?! When I asked the one gentlemen (Steve) he was like, “oh I just have a plain ol’ working knife” and I was like THATS THE BEST show me NOW😄😄

[@Leftyotism]

@@MelissaBackwoodsThat's the spirit! 🥰

[@redriver6541]

My Endura looks like it was at ground zero in Hiroshima......but I absolutely love it. It's a part of me.

[@fyokota]

That is exactly what I was going to say.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

This was such a fun video to make- thank you to everyone who took a moment to show me what they were carrying at the show!

[@arguellesiii]

Thank you for the pocket check! - @sphnx9

[@llxHANSENxll]

Pretty eclectic group lol

[@mgtowlevel5293]

5 year olds with automatics. Seniors doing splits. Kids strapped to the gills! LOL fun times!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

😂 so I will say that the automatic belongs to the grandfather and he handed it to the kid for the video 😆

[@mgtowlevel5293]

[@scottwilliams8334]

That's Texas!

[@d4ngerd4n]

sounds like a typical gun show

[@markusdowney5457]

and you weirdos in the states wonder why you can go anywhere without being scared.... lol

[@threespeech7605]

Wow that was good fun! Can't believe I watched a 15-minute pocket check video, and was hooked the whole time.. nice job Melissa!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Yay! Thank you!

[@TaskerStreete]

Same! I wish they had these kind of Conventions in Australia, I'm in awe of all these beautiful blades.

[@nickziemer8123]

This was so fun to watch the pocket check! Please do more!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Will do 🫡

[@DDuffy143]

Omg the little kid melted my heart!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Literally obsessed with him

[@seanahern9160]

The Pokémon REs 😭

[@christopherdibartolomeo3789]

Thanks for all the videos of the show Melissa. They have been very cool to see.👍

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Glad you like them!

[@stephfran9761]

Great video, it's always fun to see the enthusiasm among the knife community and to see all the smiling faces.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

It’s my favorite part about the job - I really love the community

[@avigator]

Knives are a fetish.

[@Henrik.S8]

Additionally, it's hard not to smile when a gorgeous woman who shares your interest comes up to you and asks you questions.

[@musze3000able]

That was an amazing video! I don't understand why KZbinr's don't do more of these videos anymore! Any pocket check video will always get my view and like! We'll done!

[@Katzekoschi]

Love this kind of videos you’ll never know what people pull out of their pockets 👌🏻

[@seanc9507]

I'll take a wild guess and state that most guys wouldn't mind getting pocket checked by Melissa! Lol ❤

[@Mikey_Trailz]

That Kizer prototype was sick! I can't believe he didn't show us at the Kizer booth! Thanks so much for the "FullTang" patch! That literally made my day!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Oh hey it’s you! So glad you enjoyed it! And the Kizer Cleaver is wild, I will have my eyes peeled for it’s release 👀

[@Mikey_Trailz]

@@MelissaBackwoods Great video! 🙏

[@awdobsession717]

I’m keeping my eye out for that as well

[@Murdoc2080]

Was just about to comment the same. Loved that Kizer design

[@elde667]

Wow. What a slice of humanity! Very interesting and very nicely done Melissa. Thank you.

[@johnnyadams8897]

Was great meeting you there Melissa, thanks again for taking the time to talk a bit and do some rad pocket checks!🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Thanks Johnny!! It was great chatting with you all!

[@erichall6627]

I really liked this video on KZbin, because it was longer. I watch your shorts on TikTok. They are also great. I would watch more of your KZbin channel if the videos were longer like this. Thanks for all of your knife content you create.

[@ClintWestVood]

i dont collect or anything but have been running a Buck 110 for 15 years now. no wiggle, use it everyday. its my baby

[@billh.1940]

All these knives look like fun, but i will take a buck everytime. I have a 110 folder for about 40 yrs.

[@claudecooley4829]

Love the pocket check it's so interesting. Hope you do another one.

[@clandestinetactical]

This was 1 of the best pocket check videos for EDC I’ve ever watched 😅❤… no boring bs Hopefully 🤞 you do part 2 :)

[@Kenman_DanKenman]

What a great weekend in Texas. It was my first show. The pocket check was fun. I forgot to mention my custom laser marking can be seen on my KZbin if anyone is interested. Thanks again Melissa. I look forward to seeing the rest of your Blade Show footage! I am busy editing all of mine today! If anyone has never been to Blade Show, I highly recommend it! Great community!

[@anssimyllymaki1624]

11:49 Steve the Designer: that is wicked cool knife!

[@keltheblacksmith9271]

It was well worth the wait to see Frank Machado of Two Bastards Hammers showing off Cowboy’s gauntlet blade and hideaway card/cash wallet. That was sweet!

[@AdrianTregoning]

Oh please do many more days of these. 15 minutes flew by! One of the most interesting ones for a while. Amazing how tastes vary - love it! Greetings from South Africa

[@martinniedermeier3405]

I'm not (yet) into knives (because of the strict carrying restrictions here in germany), but I love that you showcased such a lovely, tight-knit community who share a common interest/hobby.

[@10use]

8:24 His reaction. After "I can tell you actually use it." 😂😂

[@ToRo909r]

This was a cool video, love to see all the excitement and smiles 😊

[@pleasetrylater6832]

Those knives are sick!! I had no idea there were so many knife collectors!! It blows me away. I will be adding to my collection from some of these. There was not one knife that was the same. So unique! Impressive. The folks in DFW are part of my state. Love to see them enjoying themselves.

[@MSkachenite]

I am women and I live in Europe. I have 7 Victorinixes (SAKs) and 2 Leathermans. If knife has not at least one more tool, for example, a bottle opener or scissors, it is not valid knife for me. I carry everydau 3 knives: The 58 mm Victorinox Signature Lite with scissors, nail file, LED light and pen. My second keychain tool is the Leatherman Squirt PS4 with 4cm long blade, pliers, scissors, screwdrivers and bottle opener. Sometimes I use my third knife- Victorinox Compact with biger blade, biger scissors and bottle, and can openers. I don't need knives without tools.

[@franklinj1038]

Awesome thanks Melissa I'm sure fun times! 🔆

[@jonasgeez2140]

That lil boys bag of stuff was so cool

[@marktate4466]

That was cool! Fun to see all the regular people.

[@DJNeedlz.]

Great video Melissa! Thank you for all the work you put in to these videos full of hidden EDC gems.

[@tommymcevilly2413]

Girl you are outstanding your personality and knowledge is just wonderful

[@Code_Fish]

0:29 that’s me in the rangers hat!! I had an amazing time!

[@gregpappas924]

love your pocket check vids, very fun and cool, melissa!👌👍

[@Jeff92346]

This was a fun video. It's great to see the range of what people are carrying.

[@Jaden48108]

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Lot's of unique folders, and friendly folks!

[@LouisL-q8z]

Loved this video,, lots of awesome blades. People do not hold back on their passion.

[@woodentulike2no]

I was lucky enough to get to meet Melissa on Saturday. Even sweeter and more beautiful than she is on Video. Thanks for being such a great Diplomat for the Knife Community!❤

[@Wiisher]

Love these types of videos!! Thank you! Can't wait for whats next

[@theriversexperience9383]

That is so awesome that Steve Jennings (Feather Damascus with the clear handle) was in the video, he came down to Wichita Falls, all the way from Kansas, to bring me a Power hammer that he made. He traveled with us down to Blade Texas and this was his first Blade Show. He's in the video I released on Tuesday dropping it off at my shop. He's gonna be stoked to see this. edit: You also got Frank (Two Bastards) my Hammer sponsor on here, that's pretty cool.

[@JoeKyser]

This was a great idea for a video. We were able to see some cool knives. thank you very much. By the way your hair style is so cute.

[@hectorthrills8193]

That fellow with the Kizer prototype, is wicked! I usually dont like cleaver style but i like that one ! And shout out to all the ballisong people! Some slick moves no one is talking about

[@44Mag]

Thanks for this one....I was planning to go to this, but it did not work out. Glad to be able to catch a few glimpses of it! (My pocket check would have been a Kershaw OSO Sweet (Good utility knife that you can afford to lose on a job site) and also a Microtech Ultratech (born on 01/2020 with Elmax steel) I hope you had fun....

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Smart to travel with a knife life that. I do not carry valuable knives on me often at the show, because I am always fumbling in and out of my pockets and afraid I will lose them.

[@irvsstella]

This expo would never be allowed in the UK, and everyone of the patrons would be arrested just for carrying these beautiful knives. Great video and thanks for showing some cool looking blades.

[@STLMTB]

what a fantastic video. I loved seeing what other people carry and the youth representation was amazing!!

[@sambaggins2798]

I’ve got the same Benchmade 940 from BladeHQ. Love that knife. M4 steel. It holds an edge pretty well.

[@JEDI938]

I learned more about different knives as a Newbie from this post. Just subscribed!

[@treyh0079]

You go girl, u did great at the pocket dump! 👍🏻👍🏻

The little man’s blade is a Bradford sheep’s foot. Bradford make some amazing knives. I love them.!

Melissa you are awesome. I just love your fun videos.

[@B-leafer]

Very nice investigative journalism! Made my day. Ty PS: I like the "gauntlet" and would make mine to carry my cell phone with my Condor "skirmish" fixed blade on the outside.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Melissa, thank you for sharing this informative video. It is fascinating to see what knives are being used as EDC. Stay safe out there. 😊

[@wadeking]

Melissa.......you're good!!!!, and this pocket dump video is excellent!!!!, probably my favorite videos (by you or anyone else)......pocket dumps are just plain good::::::::))))))))

[@christamez734]

Bahahawa, I watched the whole thing. I went on Sat. And would my pocket check would be boring, Kershaw Covenant. Great show with a lot of nice customs.

This gives me joy. Then again, I am TEXAN. I will shout out to Cold Steel!

[@Tusk2001]

WOW! Sone really cools stuff! (Really) wish I was there. I would be the one wearing the blade embroidered bib. Thanks for doing this. My wife carries a ZT 0350 (because we couldn’t find her a reasonably priced 0400. She named it, “Rule #9,” after the Gibbs’ (NCIS) rule about always carrying a knife. Thanks for showing females carrying EDC because it makes her feel less like a standout. Also, I absolutely have to get myself one of those gauntlet knife/gauntlet/wallet combos!!!

[@flamitaz]

That hypnotic custom...was cool indeed! Seem like a really cool, easy going, salt of the earth type people! I like blades, but some of the prices are...gotta save for a while type prices. 😂
