Tested in 2017: Adam Savage's Favorite Things!

[@tested]

Watch more recent videos about Adam Savage and the Tested team's favorite things here: bit.ly/2uoT0Cw

[@jamesgriffithmusic]

I could literally watch a video of Adam talking about how much he hates me and I'd still enjoy it more than most things

[@joost199207]

Haha, spot on.

[@henrytran4155]

It'd make ya feel so special :)

[@Scrivscribe]

This comment is hilarious, I hope he reads it haha

[@failandia]

and you would agree and start hating youserlf even *MORE*

[@Eli-fj3sc]

I'd probably be like well dang I hate that guy to

[@professionalcommenter]

I love that Adam is very appreciative of different artists and that he understands good quality work when he sees it.

[@oliverdots]

I love how someone so talented and full of knowledge never ever comes across condescending in any way. I feel if you met Adam in person and asked him a basic basic question, he'd spend as much time with you as someone asking him something really complicated. Lovely guy.

[@ryantrue4844]

Always loved watching Adam! His technical knowledge is outstanding and his love of things is amazing

[@d33b33]

Except when it comes to the chef's knife. That's a fake layered damast, it's a pair of decorational damascus texture metals forged onto a cheap thin center piece of superior non-patterned steel. Still a good knife because cheap modern steels are superior to the most expertly crafted antiques, but it's like showing up to Pebble Beach with a 2015 Toyota Prius, proclaiming yours is the best car there. Technically, you're correct, also: you're an ars3h0le. Neither proper Damascus nor pattern-fold forged damascus stops having a pattern a few millimeters from the cutting edge. That's a US$12.- AliExpress knife.

[@pandamann9639]

Honestly, dude. Who cares? I get the point that you're trying to make, but do you really have to get so defensive about everything? And because I suck at speech and debate I'm just gonna go through each one of your points to see if its bullshit or not. First of all, proofread everything you type *before* you go and post it on the internet. That's all I'm going to say about that. Also, I believe the term you are looking for is 'pattern welded steel', the act of forge welding many layers of different types of steel, then etching them in an acid solution (commonly ferric chloride) to reveal oxidation colors of the steel based off of their nickel content. The other "true" Damascus steel can also be called Wootz. Wootz originated somewhere in India as crucible steel. It is also said that the original recipe or process for true Damascus steel was lost in time, so we can't really know which one is the "truest". Now. Your Prius/Pebble beach comment. I get it, but you could have put a little more context into that. You *could* take a 2015 Prius to a 1950's Pebble Beach race, *or* you could patent your time travel technology and take a god damned Bugatti instead. Next point: *NOTHING* I say, NOTHING you can do will let you keep the visible pattern of the Damascus near the edge of the knife. Y'know why? Because that's where you sharpen it ya bozo. Ya kinda have to remove material off of the edge of a knife to make it sharp. Because shocker- A thinner edge on your blade means its sharper. (Any thing that can be deemed as sharp is anywhere between 30 and 0.03 Microns thick (30 microns = 1/1000 inch). Of course you could possible cold-forge and edge on the blade, slowly hammering the thickness down to that scale, but then you'd just be wasting your time. Finally, where in the hell can you get a $12 knife of that quality and design. Because unless you are pure magic with your time travel and "pull whatever the hell I want out of a hat" abilities you can't. You really cannot get a knife like that for $12. I actually went to the makers website and found the exact knife Adam is talking about here. Its $450. That is a $450 knife of undoubtedly amazing quality that could probably cut you if you looked at it wrong. (OK, that last part was a bit of an exaggeration but my point remains). All in all, there is nothing here that Adam has done wrong. He described the knife in 'basic' enough terms for the general public to understand. I'm sure he already knows that that knife is not technically "True Damascus" but if you go to google and look up "Damascus knife" a pattern welded one is gonna show up if you like it or not. He's also supporting a local business that hand makes each one of their knives, not some corporation that stamps millions of knives out a minute. And besides, Didn't your mother ever tell you, "If you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all."

[@Mikelectric]

Ryan True what technical knowledge. Hes a jackass of all trades

[@Nick_Barone]

No

[@iamforsaken_1]

Not downtown London, it’s smack bang central London. I can see my work from there 😃

[@Nick_Barone]

Watsonisawesome no

[@seniorxj2931]

I love this guy. Such simple things that make a man smile. He has the ability to collect Ferraris yet a fancy Sharpie is all he needs!

[@AS__77]

Adam didn't mention the actual price of the Mandalorian skull, but it's around $230. That's an incredible price for something like that. The Sharpie holder was cool, too.

[@minhvo5406]

Man Adam really does make everything interesting

[@mantis7331]

I could watch you review your favorite clothes all day

[@GarryFullerSr]

I Like the look of that jacket. Going to have to check them out. It's about time for another Shop tour Adam. Happy New Year and Tack-Care.

[@oakwind]

For those searching for the skull, it's a Mythosaur skull from Mandalore.

[@koolaide321]

What website does he sell it on

[@younghex9577]

How much does it cost he didn't say

[@SilverKrow]

it's $229.99

[@Nick_Barone]

OakWind no

[@Lolbama2012]

Adam is so adorable when he's passionate about stuff

[@Sanzo_Himura]

Seeing Mr. Adam Savage in a Amerigan jacket really brought a tear of nostalgia in my eyes...A pair of sunglasses, and a cowboy hat and he's off to piss Walrus Mr. Jamie Hyneman and together they'll go bust some myths! It's a glorious 15 years run, but the new hosts and episodes suck hard!!!It's really not the same without these two...😭😭😭

[@williamwinder3466]

Anyone else realize just how truly amazing and wonderful human speech can be?

[@HMalacco]

Adam is just the best. I think we should have a special where he talks about his philosophy. It is definitely a type of art and at least his public persona nails it down when it comes to it. I would love to hear how he goes about life and what keeps him so upright. Thank you all from tested for this great year in content. Happy New year for you guys.

[@marioaraya7765]

Adams favorite things: 12.000 views in 1 hr. The rest like 30.000 in 1 day or more. This channel is about Adam. I joined to watch Adam build stuff. I would watch Adam build a paper plane and enjoy it.

[@_yellow]

Adam is the reason why I'm here too

[@princeedmunddukeofedinburg]

"last Jedi is fabulous" hahaha

[@jbeckmann6145]

number 3, number 4, doesn't matter, Adam's one of the coolest people.

[@billypilgrim1]

Joey and Adam had the best picks for this year

[@Zaku186]

I wonder if he knows how many of us would kill to meet him and tinker with him. dude is a badass and a really genuine guy.

[@atropabelladonna12]

I just might buy one of those jackets...looked sweet.

[@age6021]

Adam is without a doubt, Legendary!

[@ThePreston159]

Ahh yes, two third items and an "Amerigan Giant" jacket. Gotta love it!

[@GeneralHobbies]

mannequin on a turntable, like a pro

[@danielwillits2173]

Hi guys. I love this end of year series! Thank you. Just so you know Adam, the centre of London is not ever referred to in the uk as “downtown” (but I’m sure you knew that👍🏻) we usually call it “central” London... although that particular gorgeous model you have is of the “city of London” which is the actual city within Greater London and is now mostly the financial and business district. It has a fascinating history for you to look into. Lovely model though

[@rightydoctor]

Seconded, always central or city of London. Irked me a bit when he said downtown

[@lasarith2]

Daniel Willits probably one of those things America’s say for our equivalent ~ pavement = sidewalk, ground floor = first floor, lift = elevator Rubber= erasers etc.

[@SlytherinReviews]

I loved Star Wars The Last Jedi, it was awesome and it had a fitting message to the late Carrie Fisher in the credits too

[@ianitor1530]

Because of your last recommendation for American Giant, I actually visited them on my holidays in California (I am from Germany). Bought the hoodie in tar color and it is amazing! Next time I will definitely visit them again and buy more stuff :) Too bad they only sell the hoodie at their office

[@jacobstordahl8288]

Try washing stiff canvas/ Carhartt with vinegar!

[@JjJ-kj2ot]

So glad I found Adam again, finally something to look foward to with my coffee in the morning. Happy new years to the Tested team !

[@samdsingh]

I would love to see Adam and Jamie working together at least one more time. Always loved them both when they were hosting Mythbusters

[@articus7849]

I could watch a series of you talking about random stuff you own. This is amazing

[@Kyle-jb3hr]

That knife is absolutely spectacular

[@jonathanwieringa8808]

and now, the favorite things video everyone was waiting for!

[@TendrinLP]

Been looking forward to this!

[@helloothere6671]

Adam thank you so much for what you do, you inspire me to work hard and study every night for school I hope to go to West Point and major in Engineering. Your videos on here always inspire me to keep going thank you so much for what you do!

[@magicnik8881]

I like that jacket! Happy New Year to you :)

[@probablynot8154]

I could watch this for hours.

[@daunteuflay4859]

adam seems like a fanatic

[@jonathanwieringa8808]

yees one day builds!!! i love that he mentioned it! can't wait. happy new year Adam and the crew!

[@Tatro300Ultra]

I’m surprise this videos isn’t five hours long everything seems to be his favorite thing in all of his videos.

[@DJJAW11]

... I have asked before now, but what make/model, was that tan jacket, you have warn a few times, for example, on the Prometheus set etc?.

[@skateboards5298]

Holy shit, I did not think Adam would have anything that I actually own and use....lo and behold, he busts out the Sherpa....I love the Sharpie Sherpa!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Adam, love your builds and you and your family have a Happy New Years.

[@iTroysGhost]

The only thing I'd want a scale model of London for is to step on it.

[@RegalRobot]

Thank you, Adam! We're excited that you've included our Mando skull! We'll take a moment to thank Miyo Nakamura who did the original sculpt, & our whole team for their work on mold/cast/paint. If anyone would like to get one of these skulls, they can find them on our site: www.regalrobot.com/starwars

[@trevetrimble2990]

Glad I found this channel! Could watch this kind of content all day. Keep it up Adam/Tested :)

[@DKTractors]

Great vid Love my American Giant hoodie I’ll have to check out the mechanics jacket

[@camstheman12]

my favorite things consist of Adam, adam, video games, and adam

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

such a nice skull!

[@stevenduffin6201]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference?

[@davidb5205]

For some reason, the fact that your profile name is "William Jakespeare" made this comment way more amusing.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Adam... You're a fanatic about everything you OWN...!😂😂

[@mariekusnirik4430]

OMG that Mandalorian Skull is SO AWESOME!!! Gotta have that someday!

[@DanielMB]

Love that model of London. Although we say ‘Central’ not ‘Downtown’. Happy New Year, fella.

[@nexus1g]

That city would be so fun to paint with as much detail as possible. Add tiny, little people and cars and stuff too.

[@steverino6954]

And then pretend that you are Galactus!

[@jokeal3613]

You have access to so many interesting things, I want to buy 3 of these. Would love to see one of these a month???

[@aramisschmidtke3142]

Channeling your inner Fonzie in that jacket, Ayeeeee 👍👍

[@adamblaknovski279]

Make a lit mirror cabinet with a glass shelf to put things with two cool sides in so you can see underneath.

[@zorbcck]

Adam, please do a video talking about your favourite pens! I know you done a "Everyday Carry" a while back mentioning a few pens/pads you used but would love to hear a more in depth video about your stationary choices!

[@zwartdude]

I see he is building a box I can't wait to see a one day build!

[@chevy1986]

Sweet a new Adam vid. Great stuff u got there.

[@openchaos]

Adam said he was a bit of a pen fanatic! I would love a video of his collection :D

[@1ZazaTree]

I'm gonna be going to England in the summer myself! Awesome cast

[@rosenracht]

That skull is metal af!!!!

[@Iltpgs]

On the note of pens I recently purchased a Lamy tripen in black. Changed the blue cartridge to a black one and have since bought two more pens. It is by far my favorite carry around pen so I always have a red and black pen as well as a mechanical pencil. Solid weight. Brass tubes comfortable and durable. Best edc pen you could ask for

[@itsparker64]

Hey I'm so glad you like Carhartt!! It's one of my favorite brands, and my mom is one of the sales reps!

[@debsmith7050]

Happy New Year

[@Montisaquadeis]

Knew you guys where saving the best for the last day of the year

[@NefashusLP]

Thanks Adam!

[@BROON71]

Happy New Year, Adam!! Yay! New One Day Builds.... (please let there be some box builds.. 🙏🙏 )

[@mieguistumas]

Such gorgeous things deserve the gorgeous word gorgeous.

[@Preske]

that jacket looks great.

[@HomeAutomationX]

Happy New Year...!!

[@relikvija]

THAT is downtown London? that looks like Mars 4822

[@inco9943]

it's actually central london

[@gfbtfbtfilyfxbtyewqqef]

What we've all been waiting for

[@5botball]

Love the turning mannequin’s expression!!

[@joeyeyers8392]

it would be great to see a one day build on the resistance ring from THE LAST JEDI!

[@gcmprints2060]

It would be really nice if you included links to all the products and stuff you guys mention (especially in these year-end videos) in the description of the video!

[@Phillguy]

I second that. I can understand why there aren't links in the notes.

[@Phillguy]

Yeah, apparently adding the links is way too difficult to do...

[@blaflaggin]

They give you plenty of info to go and find them for yourself. And they avoid people accusing them of creating these videos just to spruke products.

[@Phillguy]

Is a simple list, so when I am done watching this video, can go to these sites so much to ask?

[@adamtinweb]

[@TyBraek]

Did anyone else think that casting of London was a box of sand at first?

[@JoeLaFon3]

You're an everything fanatic, Adam.

[@ScoobySnackT100]

I watch most all of your show , Adam tested it is awesome love how you get pumped up for what you about to do as you did on Mythbusters ! Happy New Year !

[@kezadrone]

The Sharpie pen holder could be used with a battery and small pyro charge to become an awesome James Bond dart firing device. :D

[@isabelahart9377]

I’m seeing braincamp in Brisbane I’m super exited! Happy new year

[@giant3909]

The fav things video I was waiting for!

[@steverino6954]

I just received my sharpie Sherpa in the mail. Thanks Adam!

[@dane4073]

Adam you where my favorite mythbuster and I love your channel keep it up

[@jonathanfox1]

"Downtown" London? Love it!

[@cofiddle]

Such satisfying objects

[@freerobux5668]

that skull was amazing

[@thomaslevy2119]

The 3-D city-scape model is excellent. However, I would be terribly tempted to paint all the buildings, streets, etc. And that would take a very tiny brush, several months, and I would go out of my mind doing it!

[@thomaslevy2119]

SJB91088: If I bought one of these, it would be New York City (I was born there). Can you imagine how much one of these models would cost if it were fully painted? Only millionaires could afford to buy! And imagine the poor assembly line workers in China who would have to paint them! They would all be blind by the end of a year.

[@Jemppu]

ooh! I need that Sharpie thing! Neat.

[@jansalverda3832]

Adam you need to watch "map men" in youtube you'll love it

[@gabiballetje]

First time i've seen a mokumo gane style-ish damascus blade. Pretty cool.

[@Rickenbacker69]

I just love to watch Adam loving stuff :).

[@LSPD1909]

I could see professional chef Adam Savage.

[@clayhudson8892]

+Tested Does Adam use fountain pens ever? He really should. They are SUPER great!

[@justmeish1997]

YAY ONE DAY BUILDS!!!!!

[@jamesvelkey8939]

literally made an "ooh" noise out loud at the folded steel knife

[@ChrisKendallCK]

Just for the point of interest.. 'Downtown London' is called the 'City of London'

[@thoast]

Adam: I am a bit of a *enter ANY item* fanatic 😁

[@brocksimmons9815]

You get a jacket and you get a jacket everybody gets a jacket!!
