hello everyone, don’t worry my apartment is clean now

[@frakismaximus3052]

That James brand knife is real nice but I understand NYC has strict knife laws. You might want to check on those if you haven't already.

[@soulboxphoto]

I’m glad its clean

Good job on the clean up! Now you can go outside😂

Michael, coming from an enthusiastic knife guy: PLEASE DO NOT BUY THE HELLGAP!! The James Brand makes very mediocre-at-best products in general, but the Hellgap is especially bad. They make sure good looking stuff, but that's about it :)

Go for the Bradford Guardian 3! An amazing knife, small enough to Cary around everywhere and cuts apples like you wouldn’t even believe

[@colomboluke]

Congratulations on the 5 years with Taylor! 🎉

[@Mr-Merchant.]

This sort of video is why I’m subbed to you. That’s a great idea for a journal, I will have to use that! Glad to see the two of uses overcoming the distance!

[@skandahooligan88]

I've got a Bleu de Chauffe canvas tote. I get so many compliments on it and the size/lack of pockets means it gets a lot of use.

[@mbessio]

I am much older than you, but I truly love your content, your sense of humor and above all being genuine and not fake nor pretentious. Keep it up Michael 👍

[@protocetid]

It’s not entirely genuine, KZbinrs receive free products not out of the kindness of a company’s heart (such a thing doesn’t really exist lol). They get them in the hopes that the KZbinr will feel obligated to give the brand a shoutout and that the product will show up in the background of or be worn in videos. These are subtle forms of advertising. Since this guy is a businessman, he probably knows this, so his compliments are less about gratitude and more about giving the donors what they want.

[@mbessio]

@@protocetid I understand, I'm not that naive. What I am saying I feel he-as a person- is a genuine guy, down to earth. For instance his mate on theo and Harris is full of himself and it's obvious.

[@protocetid]

@@mbessio He could be, I only watched like 3 of his videos. But don't forget how many famous people have an on camera persona that is dissimilar their true personality, their true selves are revealed when met in person, by inside sources or in scandals. Never meet your heroes is a saying for a reason, celebrity worship is silly.

[@jonnyb1438]

Dude, Stirling is the best! I live about an hour from their brick and mortar location! You can go and check out their whole production and the owners are soo nice. Never thought I’d see a local Arkansas company on the snail! Totally cool and love your work man!!

[@friedpork_owl]

Happy 5 years. The 5 year diary is such a cool idea. Cheers

[@unclegrandfather1]

I'm right there with you on the Opinel! I live in France, and these things are available everywhere: supermarkets, tobacco shops, garden shops, sporting good stores...and yeah, they run like 10€. They even have rounded-tip knives for kids. The steel keeps an edge for a super long time. The museum is about an hour from my house, and I'm planning to visit it this weekend. Enjoy your time in Denmark!!

[@rileyelliott8063]

[@grantwisniewski2530]

Your videos are so entertaining. Keep it up man. Safe travels to Europe.

[@DaleKamp]

I've been using my Opinel No. 8 for 13 years. Has developed a nice patina on the wood, and the metal is blackened to prevent rust.

[@antihouse7753]

I've had a carter and an opinel for years now, love them!

[@dkim87]

love the jacket in the video; if you don't mind sharing, what is the brand and name of the jacket, and where could i get one?

[@magnetpull7587]

Thank you for mentioning that opinel spoon upgrade. I've been looking for a light and small spoon solution for camping for ages and since I bring the opinel anyways I'll give that a shot

[@jessicaroberts2915]

Just here to say your writing (or off the cuff) is so enjoyable. Thanks for making these videos. I have laughed twice already.

[@stevemendez3535]

That is so cool, that you work in the watch industry! And I say this, because I am totally blind I have no vision whatsoever. I have been blind for the last seven years and I always enjoyed wearing a nice watch but now my issue is they do have watches for the blind, but They are a very, very poor quality. It would be nice if one of the manufactures would try to solve this issue it should be waterproof. It should have a quality leather band and it must talk of course. They do make the talking watch is an analog and digital, so this would be interesting if you could try to tackle this issue. Thank you once again.

[@stevemendez3535]

The Timex Iron Man would be a perfect platform. Also, the G-Shock would be a great platform. Both of them have analog and digital platforms. That would be perfect. This would be a great starting point.

[@Dea_Decay]

First, congratulations on 5 years with Taylor! Second, or maybe third, I am ordering that fork knife and spoon set, that's amazing, The number I didn't pick last time, I was just looking at that bag company, Bleu de Chauffe, put it off as I have a lot of bags, but now, somehow, I'm on their site again.

[@coryjblock]

Look at all that wall organization. SOMEONE is getting efficient (old vlog callback). Another excellent video!

[@WhiteVaille]

holy shit, yeah that french bag is stunning. I absolutely love how refined but rough it is.

[@WhiteVaille]

aagh, alas, no silver hardware! as much as I love brass as a metal, for personal fashion I try to stick to silver metals.

[@Dreyno]

Don’t get too “into” knife steel would be my advice. I thought I needed high class knife steel. “Good” knife steel tends to be hard to sharpen and not worth the price or effort. Something you can sharpen easily is better. Edit: Like the Opinel. Or a Victorinox. The latest, greatest knife steel tends to be more brittle, hard to sharpen and doesn’t always have the same corrosion resistance. Don’t get me wrong. I still have some modern knives with flashy steel but it in no way makes the knife more usable or dictates what I have in my pocket (today, a Vicorinox Rambler on my car keys. So small it’s barely there but does most things I need).

[@MultiVance123]

Knife steel is a huge rabbit hole. There’s the blade material itself, the heat treat on the steel, and then the type of grind on the blade in conjunction with the actual edge angle. When it comes down to it, I completely agree that the flashy steels in a lot of high end modern knives are cool and can definitely boost performance, I have found that ease of maintenance has become the most important aspect of a knife steel for me.

[@ernie8419]

ayyyy dude. i think we are due for a new version of this. thanks. also ur killin it

[@williamsturgiss5275]

I loved the video but I came here to comment that the ad reads were the most entertaining I've seen in a while and I actually didn't skip ahead for once because of that. Thanks for keeping it fun and interesting!

[@maxroucaille2446]

Taylor's pronunciation is almost perfect, you can tell she does know french well it is like 98% there My only tips (for those who REALLY want to nail it 100% for some reasons) is on the "bleu" word: close the sound just a bit more. anglos speakers tend to make a very open sound. If your mouth does the same shape as when pronouncing "blue" then it is probably slightly off. If it helps, imagine you are directing the sound in a direction, and aim for the floor. These closed sound are in my opinion what betray even the most fluent anglophone most of the time. (but don't worry too much about "A" or "O" sounds like in "Chauffe", no matter how you say it, it will probably match an accent somewhere in France) Anyway, again very good pronunciation and I wouldn't mention it if it wasn't on topic!

[@geomardomingo1672]

I hope you enjoy your knife journey!

Ahhh well I’ve spent the last day binge watching your channel. One of the KZbin channels I wish had infinite videos. Can’t rush perfection I guess - cheers!

[@radfoxuk8113]

Switched from Opinel to an Antonini Old Bear, never looked back, just superior where it matter, the lock, ,never even thought this would close on my hand, but Opinel, always, through multiple examples, would work itself loose on even the lightest work. My wallet is a Vulkit, it looks like leather, feels like leather, hell it even smells like leather, but it's thinner, and has 2 quick access slots for cards or folded cash, and all of it has wireless protection for your cash cards. Got a Casio G-Shock too, but one of the ones where the characters are white, while the background is black, as I find that far easier to read, and is easier to read in dark lighting, even without activating the back light. I just have a small set of steel cutlery from IKEA (Also some steel straws and chopsticks), I feel and experience has shown me, that having cutlery that is purpose built is better than trying to make other tools work as cutlery, funnily enough they are the best cutlery I have, even though I got it all from IKEA, apart from kitchen knives, which were Aldi / Lidl, and my steak knives which are Lagioule.

[@drtybrdy75]

Happy anniversary to my favorite metal slug🎉🎉🎉. Btw, I’ve been watching your videos for around 5 years as well. So maybe it’s our anniversary as well, swoon😊. Anyways have fun in Denmark duder.

[@Bernard3rd]

Hey Michael, Thanks for your interesting content. The spelling of your French postman bag was not obvious for me to find in your write up. How is it spelled exactly? Thanks so much.

[@habl00pep]

Knives can be nice but decades of knive crime in Scotland means even being caught outside with a 3 inch blade on a multi tool ( without probable work usage) can result in prosecution ( police discretion if they believe it’s for work) I have some opinel garden tools and cutlery and they are awesome

[@viis]

@K.M.V S our (Canada) knife laws aren't really that bad, they just can't be used for self defense, no autos, no balisongs, no gravity knives. The big thing is that CBSA is super weird about importing knives. I had my Chris Reeve Large Inkosi seized because they thought it was a gravity knife. Worked several months for an appeal for that thing because no chance I'm forfeiting a $700 CAD knife.

[@IGmeanwell]

In NYC your pretty limited to what you can carry based on blade size and locking mechanisms. All autos are illegal in NY, you can own them just can’t carry them. In the city though if your caught with any sort of flipper or semi auto mechanism It’s probably going to get confiscated. Up here in the ADK we can have under a 4” blade while carrying as long as it’s not an auto mechanism. I have a civivi KI-V mini to make sure my carry is legal where ever I go, of course we could all just carry a Swiss Army knife. Edit: NY State also does not want you carrying any sort of gravity deploying knife.

[@goboogeeee]

Love Stirling. I just started using their shaving cream. They have some inspired smells. I don’t know what on Earth inspired the “Ben Franklin” scent but surely something did, because it is crazy. Not necessarily crazy good, not crazy bad, just crazy. It’s an interesting experience.

It might seem conventional enough but its so general that the search engine cannot pick up anything WHILE you dont use any words that are good for search engines. the word cant has 2 ways to write so it halves traffic, live instead of like or love, without and cant are negative words that people dont usually search because they are negative words, and the worst one of them all; the number 10 and I.
