The "Give A Knife, Take A Knife" Recap: Mini Reviews of All 7 Knives I Got Back

[@03_austindrake88]

I really enjoyed following the GAKTAK videos/knives as they made their way around. The GAKTAK has been such a great idea. Great video once again JT.

[@davidh0159]

It was fun to watch the transitions from reviewer to reviewer. Very interesting batch that finally made it home.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

So cool to see what made it back. It was alot of fun to watched everyone's choices. Such a great idea

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the GAKTAK!!!!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Ofcourse!!

[@Every_Day_Aaron]

What an amazing final collection!

[@FordHarbor]

Cool to see the knives return and what made its way back.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@badmunkyedc1]

Such an awesome way to spend the year! It was really cool seeing what people picked and what they put in! I would love to be in the next one if you do it again!

[@prestochango2812]

I like that ZKC and the Godson is always cool.

[@abc456f]

Thanks for explaining the process of giving/taking. Cause right away I was thinking, take the expensive one, give a cheap one.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Yeah, and the people in it know better than to do anything really that hahaa

[@winchesterinc.5643]

I really liked the frame lock Piercer when it was first released but thought it was overpriced for what it was. Yes sir, those serrations are pretty sweet. I’m glad you liked it. One more Mandalrion episode to go! I’m excited but then sad because we won’t see anything SW related for a minute.

[@Joshadamwyo]

Solid summation of the Piercer, a knife not quite finished in design. Love the GAKTAK idea, can’t wait to see the next iteration!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Thanks a lot!

[@bobb.9917]

WOW! ....That Stedemon is HUGE....I like the look and the line of The GSD, definitely NOT the materials, though! I have very few autos, but I do own a steampunk model of The Godson which I really really LOVE! ....Man I LOVE the looks of that Falcon/tanto ...I dig me my tantoes and that looks like a stylin' beater knife for me!!! (never saw one before!).

[@lionknives3]

Hi JT! This Series is a great idea! Thank you!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

My pleasure!

[@pop4803]

This was fun, thanks.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Sure thing, thanks for checking it out!

[@thomaslanders6244]

Usually I’m on the same page but I like the SW Piercer and Artisan. Not a fan of that big 4” knife. I’m not a tactical/SD knife guy but just got the BM Fact 417 for $148 marked down at store up in Maine. Must have sat 2 years cause it’s 467 of 1200. I wish the blade was a little wider and a 3”-3.25” size would be perfect. But, I think BM is back. The edge, centering, lockup, action etc. are flawless. Not too many 4” blades that are light enough to carry in pocket of heavy flannel shirt. Ease of carry is huge for me, don’t do a ton of cutting in the city. Glad you are happy with your knives. The GSD is a good design, not an auto fan but the Protech is nice too.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

The Fact was impressive. I enjoyed that knife a lot actually, yeah!

[@randyf.9188]

Seems like it worked out for everyone. "Don't be a panzy" was my favorite part. 😆

[@Zen_Ali_123]

Coolest idea ever! Next time maybe 5 knives, 5 guys Just kinda has a ring to it.

[@mattharvey968]

Eating at a 5guys restaurant

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Great idea!

[@beardedgear]

Been excited for this one!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Thanks again man, loving that Protech!

[@rickkerans8485]

Some really good knives made there way back. Was hoping you didn't like the Stedman lol. I don't know why but I like natural micarta. Glad you got some back you really like and plan on holding onto. I remember the extra was someone took a knife they didn't have anything they wanted to part with at that value so they did 2 knives to get to the value. That really looks like fun.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Interested in that Stedemon?

[@tombrown8800]

You started this ? I caught a few videos concerning this give one take one group. Like the Artisan, cute little knife. The Steadman is my kinda knife, big blade, stand out color handle, price don't break the bank. That Bastinelli Falcon is my favorite, like the point style of this tanto, 2-tone blade may give me grief down the line but makes me happy now. The Pro Tech is of course beautiful but you outlined the negatives associated with it. As for the CRKTs completely agree on one & disagree on the other. I'll let you decide which is which. Thanks for doing this, great project idea ! You rock !

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Yeah, this was my idea that I first did a couple years back. Definitely a fun time! My guess is you disagree on the Aux and agree on the GSD?

[@tombrown8800]

@@JTsKnifeLife sorry JT, I agree on the Aux, disagree on the GSD. But I also like "old" things that no one wants.

[@stephenbarone4053]

I totally forgot about the GSD. I totally forgot I once owned it. Great looking knife, but too heavy and I remember the detent being too stiff. Just another great design CRKT has laid waste to.

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Definitely wasn't their best execution, but still a neat knife!

[@jakefromohiostate]

I’m such a huge fan of Steel Will...I’ve proclaimed them my favorite production knife company! I’m drawn to so many of their designs....all but 2 really. I’d like to eventually check out that Piercer. I’m a big fan of the Tenacious and it sort of has some similar lines/feel to it. I think it’s awesome that you do this pass around man! Look forward to following the next one

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Are you a Bengals or a Browns fan?

[@jakefromohiostate]

@@JTsKnifeLife neither....I’m a basketball fan😉

[@JTsKnifeLife]

@@jakefromohiostate Fair enough, as long as you don't like the Browns hahaha. Shoot me your address when you get the chance. 👍

[@LUC.Knives]

I would love to get in on this if/when you do it again! Really cool idea

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

GSD all day!

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Yessir!

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

surprised the ZKC D-01 made it back, why is you could not keep a knife? I believe you said double side ?

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Yeah, the Mictotech was dual edged. Extremely illegal.

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

@@JTsKnifeLife Hmm, must be a FL thing huh...

[@johnwest4492]

Hey JT, where can I pick up the Falcon ?

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Not sure exactly, to be honest. Seems to be sold out in most places.

[@Cameron_OKG]

What about the case ? . You wanna sell it ?

[@JTsKnifeLife]

Which Case?

[@Cameron_OKG]

@@JTsKnifeLife the Case teardrop jack . Green one .

[@JTsKnifeLife]

@@Cameron_OKG That one was taken in the passaround. All those starting knives are gone.
