[@DrDrewdude]

Dude has the world’s largest knife store in his pants 😄

[@croatialives]

I think he's worried his misses might touch his knives so he carries his whole collection

[@Hungrybird474]

Go Dopey bro . Hitting the shows is living .

[@johnfisco8382]

He has more knives in his pants than I do in my collection

[@reconvlogs3024]

No wonder he needed the crutches 😅😂

I wonder what belt hes wearing? 3:30

I don’t want anyone ever saying me carrying 2 blades is excessive

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Pmsfl. To true

[@derekdavis6508]

I carry victorinox evo grip 10, cold steel safe maker 2 push dagger made in Japan, and sometimes my cold steel mini recon 1 bowie in Aus 10.

[@kushviper]

The 2nd guy has more knives on him then I have had in my entire life 😮 EDIT: I wrote this and then he pulled out like 2 dozen more…

[@frankberkemeier]

A walking talking hardware store. :-)

Tac force belt

Second guy wanted to show off his collection. No way he’s carrying that daily and being functional.

When I used to work at SMKW I did actually carry that many on the dailey

[@SMKWcom]

We don't mind as long as everyone has a good time

[@staceyroberts9177]

@@SMKWcom That’s fine but I believe that those types of responses defeat the purpose of a pocket check, which is to reveal what the individual prioritizes for an everyday carry load out. I’m sorry, but nobody carries dozens of knives everyday. Perhaps, one readily deploy able folding knife, a neck knife, and maybe a very deep carry slip joint knife in a leather slip is appropriate. For example, routinely I carry a Cold Steel Espada LG in my back pocket, a CRKT SPEW around my neck, and a Boker Trapper in a leather pocket organizer, along with a Zebra F-701, and a Coast flashlight for a well rounded everyday carry. If I want to go a little crazy, in the immortal words of Bob Ross, I’ll add a Buck 110 to my belt or a CRKT Squid to the fifth pocket of my jeans. Overkill is putting it mildly for those guys; one is none, two is one, and a hundred is just plain fun!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dondee5439]

At the 5:15 mark, how many knives does that guy have in pocket dump? I stopped counting at 33.

The only reason they’re carrying those extra knives is so when they switch counters, they can say that they carry whatever Knife from whatever counter they’re at. It’s all too try to help sell. It’s just a sales tactic. It’s not necessarily about what they EDC or don’t EDC. It’s more about the selling product. I don’t Usually carry more than three knives at a time.

Why are these dudes carrying their entire collections with them? Maybe I missed some context but the people carrying 3+ knives at one time are exactly what makes people think knife people are weird.

[@SMKWcom]

Well fall festival at the world's largest knife store isn't just a normal day! It is a place to come see new and old knives make new knife friends, and carry as many as you want. Just wait until you see some of these guys at Blade Show and how many they will carry then

Pocket checks aren’t really interesting when people are just carrying a bunch of knives they don’t use just for the sake of carrying a lot of knives. The whole point of a pocket check is to see what tools people carry to accomplish daily tasks. This is actually dumb.

Hey, it’s free country, to each his own. Do what makes you happy, but if you are claiming you use more than two or three knives on a given day you’re lying. At that point you are not carrying knives for any purpose other than carrying a lot of knives, which is fine but don’t lie about it.
