you guys should really get Auston to work for you, if nothing else, on these video's. He has a good camera presence, speaks well, and is ridiculously knowledgeable of the knives. I am just very impressed by his knowledge, and on-screen bearing.

my god that zt999

[@one-of-us9939]

Matt... I SO agree with you!

[@rogerhamilton8029]

i sold mine :-( for me it was worth the 750 i paid for it but the secondary market prices were just too high to keep. i sold it for $1400 and got a custom g&g hawk deadlock otf

[@teddritchlien8952]

Im in vegas got 2500$$$??

[@CedricAda]

Awesome to see a classic knife youtuber on. Would love to see you banter with Cutlerylover, Nick Shabazz, or Darkchild

[@alexzavarro9769]

hahahahahhahahahaha that would be fucking great

[@runicknight8459]

idk if nick would do it, cuz no one knows his face😂

[@rileybracelin4274]

tnfire 0920 Frankie and Bird from Birdshot IV do know what his face looks like they did a video together

[@CedricAda]

Nick could hold the camera heheh

[@christully947]

Could do a Knife table with Nick Shabazz

[@fearthespear4242]

I carry a buck 285 Bantam that I've had since i was 6, and i have never had to so much as to tighten a piece of hardware on that thing, yet i still watch these videos that feature extremely expensive knives...great video, keep it up

[@mattbenson5250]

Somewhere there is a 12 year old kid with a more expensive CS:GO knife collection.

[@jojojaykay]

MLG Toaster *GET HIM ON THE SHOW*

[@walkermason143]

I highly doubt it

[@SeVeN-A7]

Who wants to even see those stupid painted blades lol

[@AK-hg6vr]

Matt I’m 12 and don’t play games and laugh at people who collect stupid game knives that are worth squat.

[@cupcakebunnyprod]

@@AK-hg6vr wow you are unique and cool.

[@xleeb0y13x]

Auston’s KZbin channel is one of the best out there and if you really like dogs he’s got a amazing Akita/Pit mix that is just amazing. Great segment guys. Next we need to get Nick Shabazz on here.

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

I love that you mentioned my dog! :-)

[@Mrb00st]

with his face blurred?

[@xleeb0y13x]

James Mackintosh I figure if anyone could get him to let his guard down it would be the guys at blade.

[@Ivan_I99999]

xleeb0y13x well if you look on one of his knife reviews, you can catch a glimpse of his face.

[@Bobster709]

You guys should show more KZbinrs collections on Knife Banter, I think a lot of people would enjoy it. Cutlerylover perhaps??

[@davidmayle6103]

Great video. Love how you are featuring guest collectors. Very neat to see how everyone’s collections differ.

[@David-qr9be]

He may be Austin but he's not our Austin

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

Correct, I'm your Auston!

[@rexczi6299]

:((((

[@BudgetBugout]

Great showcase!

[@rednosevideos9776]

Omg you guys have the greatest videos ever thank you for making amazing content

[@avg345]

I love to see Craig Brown knives pop up with knife reviewers. I've worked with Craig at his full time job for about 5 years now and he's one heck of a guy and a really hard worker with anything he does.

[@UMPking18]

Knife banter on the smallest knives they have in the shop would be cool.

[@Skipper_Jimmy]

Great exhibition and discussion with Epic Snuggle Bunny. I can't believe that I gave a "thumbs up" to a video that includes a segment with a sock puppet.

[@Kenko1]

Cool to see Epicsnugglebunny in person :) What a collection and a vintage inspired Tudor Black Bay to match ;)

[@mikestanley4457]

Charles Yeung ya I was checking the watch out the whole video

[@JadeGeminiM390]

Got the Tudor Black Bay...also a Watch guy 🙌

[@steveman751]

TheJagermeister917 Yeeee

[@johnj.baranski6553]

If he's only 10 minutes away from the studio have him in to do more shows.

[@THEHOWLSUN]

I'm not a big ZT fan but that ZT 0999 might have been one of the best knives I have ever seen

[@AG.Floats]

What is your reason not being a fan of ZT? They make amazingly fantastic blades

[@northernninety7]

@@AG.Floats I own a few and they probably will never be sold.

[@zaneklimes8897]

Please do this with other collectors. This is amazing.

[@charleshainsworth1723]

That Liong Mah Lanny flipper is sensational.

[@07Horn]

Another great knife review.....I’m still drooling over Spencer’s PM2 17+ collection. EpicSnuggleBunny’s insight and passion about knives is inspires me to keep collecting and trying to find the “perfect” knife for me. I’ve got a lot of respect for a Knife Addict that finds the value in a $35 gem without be pretentious even though he has full customs by some of the greatest knife designer/maker/craftsmen of today. Keep the videos coming!!!

[@michaeljames1334]

I'm a crazy collector like Auston and i have to say i love the way he presents all his knives. i never like to tell people what i have payed for a knife cause i dont want to come off as a jerk simply because knives happen to be what i like and some tend to be fairly pricy. While some of his are very expensive, he never comes off as arrogant or cocky which a lot of collectors that can swing for the big ticket knives often do. He is a poster child for the hobby that makes knife collecting seem more approachable than the people showing off. love it. bring him on more often.

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

Thank you so much for the kind words Michael.

[@jakeallison7240]

i wish i had these knives i am just a teenager that just started my knife collection and this chanel really helped me understand more about knives that i thank you for blade HQ

[@reznovhobbs1447]

Jake Allison what's in your collection so far?

[@jakeallison7240]

hey reznov thanks for asking i have a kershaw leek my grandpa gave me, a kershaw shuffle and a small cheap 2 inch otf. i live in texas so i am lucky i can have basicly any knife i want if i save up i am saving up for a kershaw launch 7

[@ramenoodle7853]

Hey brother keep collecting! If you get a chance at a brick n mortar store to handle a ZT do it, i love my spydies and benchmades but dang zt makes an incredible knife.

[@welovetheoutdoors4834]

Awesome man! U get anymore knifes lately? It would be good to know!

[@LanxPenzenpepper]

Loool saame!!! As of the moment i only have the strider 313 and a cardsharp knife and also a vintage military knife...

[@williamedington9894]

Really enjoy the video. Love see how personal collections can be. Really amazing.

[@yeaman992]

+EpicSnuggleBunny I completely agree on using all your knives. Knives are usually expensive because they are high performance, if it's a safe queen you never get to experience its full potential! I don't wanna be on my death bed and think, I wish I would've used more fun knives!

[@killabee-2384]

Love this guys content he's literally my idol in terms of knife collecting.

[@6FeetDeep4U]

Excellent commentary & knowledge of his collection. Would definitely like to see more videos with him in them.

[@peachjackson3856]

Wow, beautiful stuff. And such a great analogy when talking about the slipjoint.

[@Ryouchijtx]

Love seeing Auston on the channel~

[@vincef7487]

It's NOT a "good" problem! I suffer from the same thing. I tried to stop buying knives a couple of times ...but I just couldn't stop. ...I ...just ...couldn't ...stop.

[@colecon1012]

Great knife banter! That is a beautiful collection! (Part of the collection)...

[@dylanrb0350]

Good taste in watches also. Nice Tudor man!

[@thesmearthemagenetwork]

14:31 HAHAHAHA you guys have the best freaking editor!!

[@jolness1]

I love that he carries the blades. It's like how Porsche owners brag about how MANY miles not how few like other sports cars. A knife is a tool and while I wouldn't use a Nichols Damascus blade to chop wood, carrying a pocket knife does make you love it more. I might only carry it at work or a wedding etc but gotta carry it from time to time I think.

[@user-wr6nj8du1r]

The famous epicsnugglebunny...great collection (1/5 of it)...that shiro F5 silk though damnnnn

[@patrickconnors8403]

Wow, I love watching these; learn a ton.

[@futurerustanddust5992]

Fun seeing you share a small portion of your collection in person, Auston (Nice watch - get that thing on a NATO already). And thanks to BladeHQ for having him on!

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

it seems strange hearing Austin while also seeing him I feel like just his hands should be on camera

[@nicmaglio7306]

Great video lets see more of Auston on Banter! and nice shirt by the way Ben.

[@taeso2160]

Think it's amazing to hear that he uses and carries all of his knives.

[@paulhughes3961]

Really great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not quite at the level of custom or mid tech but I'm getting closer all the time. I do believe that there a lot of budget knives that meet the quality of materials, fit and finish that deserve the same recognition as there more expensive cousins.

[@RovingRoninEDC]

Can't believe it took me 3 years to finally see this.....imagine his collection today

[@YoungMulahBB]

Love this vids. Very well spoken dude.

[@joeymaximus8146]

Very cool that he actually uses these knives!

[@killabee-2384]

He makes the Bhq Austin look like a virgin knife collector. Love his channel super glad you had him in here!

[@Pew7070]

Whaaaat? 😆 Someone is epically snuggling with the bunny! 😆😝😜

[@anything_knife_related5647]

Really enjoy these type of videos.

[@eldridgeyoung2763]

Bunny made it big time now all shit . He is still my favorite KZbin

[@bilbsk.2510]

Very awesome collection ,inspiring video great info

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I find it so intriguing how people's tastes are so similar in knife collecting. But,.....some people have a very different idea of what a quality knife is. This man means business. That ZT999 is absolutely incredible.🥰😍

[@rhahnabunaid]

Subscribed because of these Banter videos. It's a shame Austin left, but I would love to see more of Mote! Keep them coming.

[@jwfraga]

Great choice to have this sugglebunny dude on. Nice job BHQ

Great video. Thanks guy's.

I know a guy in Tennessee who has 4500 knives. Mostly American maker customs and Queen/Tuna Valley. Yes, 4500.

[@revenant_renesis6439]

One could only imagine

[@926BigAl]

Love to see I'm not the only collector. Been doing it since the early 80's when I was in a knife club. Funny enough, we meet in the basement of a hospital every month.

[@BladeHQ]

Asking for a friend: which basement in what hospital? And the time and day of the next meeting? And do you accept guests?

[@926BigAl]

Blade HQ been a few years since I've gone once I moved. Was in the basement of Memorial Hospital in Macon, Ga. A few of my favorite knives I bought from Jim Frost himself in the early 80s when he would come on occasion.

[@SgtKong]

Double Austin and a Ben! Great video BladeHQ!

[@davidlarue2492]

I’m not a cheap sucker by any means but my most expensive folder is the base model manix 2 lightweight. Money just is very tight but I strive to have a very cool collection one day. How awesome it must feel to have such a beautiful display and collection. I hope one day at a time to have remarkable pieces I can be proud of.

[@511dydy]

Nice tudor black bay, fitting watch for the collection

[@qqqqq187]

Nice collection indeed. That Tudor black bay (watch) he's wearing is dope too!

[@JohnsArchipelago]

Very cool guy, you guys should make more of these types of videos

[@The4cp]

Incredible collection

[@connormatsis5103]

I love that ZT.

[@Damen0530]

Great colabration!

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I just love the WE 617 proto.

[@joshuajacob6402]

Love his videos and I'm so glad he could be on an episode of BladeHQ to show his knife expertise for why he bought what he did.

[@jasonsurage8421]

Awesome Vid guys

[@AntOfEgypt]

Great outlook on whether to carry a knife or keep it as a safe queen!

[@ianmanibusan2035]

I ordered a knife from you guys and I was really surprise when it actually arrived on time and really fast

[@lamprozar1]

I enjoy your reviews Austin you have a few knives I would love to own and I must say you look nothing like I imagine thank you both for sharing this video

rip austin, hello auston

Great collection

[@noufilasif323]

The first time in my life I actually enjoyed a commercial break

[@arrowheads46]

Fantastic!

[@mohamedakhand]

Nice Black Bay Austin!

[@joegercken4494]

So who gave the thumbs down? Seriously. You got a problem.

[@Michaeladar]

austin should be the new co host of knife banter

[@haydensmith8576]

Nice collection.

[@ianwong4912]

He is wearing a Tudor Black Bay Red, if any of u guys were wondering what kind of watch he was wearing

[@PaulK390S90V]

He should get into sharpening and get a KME! It has made my knife collecting more personal since I sharpen every knife I get no matter what. And it always makes the edge look so much better than factory edge. I love it

[@AndersonStClair-op4fe]

I love your editor

[@timbrwolf2238]

I'm just drooling over here...I hate that I love this video. lol

[@Silent420]

The Tudor Black Bay is epic!

[@eugeneBai]

So familiar voice! :))) Great guy!

[@budaflash]

Auston @epicsnugglebunny is the man!

[@DrFrankLondon]

Love the fact that the knives are carried and not only safe queens... I have way too many safe queens, especially Sebenza 21 large models...

[@DrFearCo]

The sebenza is not a safe queen. In my opinion if it is so expensive for you that you can never ever carry it, then it is too expensive for you to own it.

[@DrFrankLondon]

Dr Fear & Co. I have 13 limited edition CRK Sebenza 21 large and one which is a normal Micarta version. That's the only one I am using, the rest are collectors pieces. I think each and everyone may do what the heck what they want with their collections. I have other high end knives in daily rotation but CRK is what I am collecting. I don't know what drives your comment, envy or ignorance.

[@DrFearCo]

Frank Andre Holmestrand Envy? No. Go look at my channel. Ignorance? Also no. Maybe I just think of my collection a little differently.

[@DrFrankLondon]

Dr Fear & Co. I don't doubt your knowledge or your collection, but in my collection all of my Sebenzas except for one are safe queens because I have chosen to collect rear versions of my favourite knife. And if I couldn't afford them, I wouldn't have 14 of them in total. But I see them as works of art, like my art collection, and that's a choice I have made and I will not change that. Other knives which are more expensive are used on a daily basis, but because I have a soft spot for the CRK Sebenza doesn't allow you to draw conclusions which is based on a comment when you don't anything about me and my knife collection. Today I am carrying a Rask and yesterday I was carrying the Todd Begg Field Marshall, so my knives are being used but not my Sebenzas except for one. As simple as that. But we share one interest and that is knives and anyone can do what they want with their collection.

[@DrFearCo]

Frank Andre Holmestrand Well, I guess when I made that comment I wasn’t thinking that people could want to collect Sebenzas because I don’t see them that way at all which is wrong. But responding with “you’re just jealous” and then your second comment with “look at all the shit I have” doesn’t make me want to bow down to you.

[@infernoofawesome4112]

Bladehq should do a video with Nick Shabazz

[@CalebMcFadden]

Awesome! They did!

[@Mazeingpower]

best ergos on a knife and my favorite of all time is the Manix 2. It may not be super expensive ,but when you have it in hand you will understand.

[@nicolo0508]

He has a nice Tudor watch 👌🏼

[@masonmaharowski1206]

Great video

[@jpbernie72]

The Tudor Black Bay needs to come off the metal bracelet (IMO).

The editor is legend 😎😎😎😁👍🏿👍🏿

Best guest appearance so far! Next do Nick Shabazz haha

[@xabalba555]

EDC with Aaron that's not a bad idea. He can be wearing a z-hunter mask for anonymity 😂

[@blingn007]

Love how the bhq guy calls the Benchmade pocket clip damascus and epicsnugglebunny quickly corrects him with timascus. Like Yea son, timascus is like 150$ more. Get it right. Lol
