I am German and all my Böker Kalashnikovs are BHQ exclusives, and my brass Böker LRF is too!
Fun Fact:
The Böker LRF's "front flipper" (which it is not) also functions as an Emerson Wave Feature. You can also flip it open on your shoes, or on a table, or what have you that way.
Use a mat for disassembly cleaning and reassembly, so you don't lose parts
My first knife mistake:
Trying to put pressure straight on the tip on a slipjoint. And yes, it ended up in my finger. Thank goodness it went only into the side of my index finger, so no tendons were being cut!
I was trying to push the blade straight into something hard.
That made me go to locking knives for years.
Just recently (only 1 or 2 years ago) I got into slipjoints again, and I am ever so wary when I handle them. And since the big knife law change of 2003 in Germany, which I wasn't aware of until like 10 years later, made me switch to fixed blades and two handed locking folders, since you can't carry a onehand opening knife that also locks onehanded by default. This law actually made me carry more knives, so I think they failed with that one, lol. That's also the law that banned Balisongs, Ninja Stars, Gravity Knives, OTF's, Punch Knives (Fist-Knives), and Brassnuckles ... and what have you. I want a NKA in Germany too. So jealous of you guys!
Hey, your 5" fixed blade is a great looking piece. The M390 might not have been the greatest choice but it's a simple knife with really nice blade shape. Great work.
Haha, first thing I check when I like the optic of a knife is the blade length!
Great video. Thank you.👍
Wow, getting S30V as a first blade steel with 9 years of age. Lucky you!
The best self defense knife is one you can reach of grabbed from behind and isn't noticeable by the person attacking you until it's in your hand. A small full tang fixed blade that can be carried in the front of your waist, not the side or the back of you. Small blade, 2 to 2.5 inch blade, so if grabbed from behind you can reach down grab it, attack legs or hands quickly, but the draw is EVERYTHING. Make sire its light and comfortable to carry and won't become a discomfort with movement, and it's super easy to grab , draw and it's muscle memory. Simple is best, no moving parts or complication in the sheath and you should practice drawing it and putting it away iver and over until you can do it wuth your eyes closed or under stress without flaw, your life may depend on it, once you get it down, practice more lol, then just carry it and pray you never need it.
A big bad knife is great for war , not for self defense. Remember if you use it for self defense, you don't want to look like you were ready for war and it's not over kill.
There is no difference in law between use of a large knife and use of a small knife they are both lethal force.
Lmao. I tried googling all the times that someone used a knife that was purchased specifically for self defense. Big surprise. Doesn’t really happen. The real world isn’t John Wick
For the india shipping question - don't
even if Blade HQ or anyone else can ship it to you, most of our big city customs (since most of these will be shipped via air, they will land in a big city - Delhi / Mumbai / Bangalore) won't let you keep it. They will levy a crazy amount of duty if they let you keep it (sometimes as much as the knife price itself). But for big fixed blades they will just confiscate it without reason.
Perhaps this can be my knife mistake - shipping stuff to India :D
Maybe you can send it to someone living in US who can then bring it to you in India when they come home for holidays.
Beginner Pro Tip, buy a PM2 , buy severall good knives but acknowledge that the PM2 is always the best.
Beginner Pro Tip, buy a PM3, buy several good knives but acknowledge that the PM3 is always the best.
Facts
I always find myself coming back to the pm2 and para3
Both are just *chefs kiss*
That’s cute. But once you acknowledge that the manix 2 is the best all around knife out there you, you can finally be acknowledged as a man. Hahaha, just kidding! But the manix 2 guys…seriously.
We need a George collection video 😁!
Honestly, if you look for a knife for lighter to general use, don't need much of a design flash, only have max $50 and don't care where it comes from; I've been plesently surprised by Petrified Fish. Tested a couple of their products over the last few months and they all work wonderfully. Can recommend the PF818 for general use. 🙂
How have you and the HQ Crew been?
My go to titanium Frame Lock is the WE Knives High-Fin.
9:27 Hot take:
A Leatherman is not a knife, it is a pair of pliers. Unlike a Swiss Army Knife, aka Victorinox, which uses a knife as a base.
Please don't lynch me!
Got my first knife for my 6th birthday. It was a Victorinox Swiss Army (not sure which model but this was..1993). My dad gave me a 30minute safety lesson. I then left the house with my new knife, and promptly forgot everything he taught me. Lets just say... after cutting your finger clean to the bone, you acquire a rapid and unshakeable resect for the sharp and pointy things. I've been a knife enjoyer for 31 years now, complete with scars for evidence.
Hooking the string around the pinkie is a bad idea. The string belongs at the transition from blade to handle and is placed on the wrist. That way when you lose control of the knife it is not a sharp object swinging around from your pinkie, it is held close to the use position to regain your grip. Most put the string in the wrong spot on the knife.
Beginner mistake, hand your knife to someone without asking what they plan to use it on first. I was fortunate enough to be taught at an early age by my father that you don’t use a screwdriver as a chisel or wrench as a hammer, in a pinch maybe but whenever possible use your tools the way they were intended to be used.
Gotta say it's true, you don't need to re-sharppen very often, I use a steel from my kitchen cutlery set to freshen the edge. Brings back a hair popping edge 99% of the time.
I love my Bradford as an EDC.
Sharpening is a learning by error process. Over time, I’ve landed on the ceramic rod and strop. Never looked back.
Same. Sharpening was the only viewpoint I ever had, and at that, I was always intimidated by actually sharpening blades. I would either mess it up or feel like I never got them sharp enough. I eventually learned what I was doing haha but now I see that maintenance is such a bigger part of everyday use than sharpening ever could be 👍
Not a crescent wrench, a combination wrench.
Uhm, good Sir, sabering a bottle "cuts" off the glass head, it doesn't just pop off the cap.
I think Boker has a good video about that on their channel, it's an old video though, but you can find it!
And that's meant for bottles with a cork, for when you don't have a cork screw on ya. Also it's faster. Needs skill though, don't hurt yourselves.
Beginner pro tip, never buy a youtube banger! If it’s a banger they are free sampled to sell it to you! 👍
Edit: The absolute best blade shape for self defence is a run and get the fk outta there! You pull a knife without training you’re gonna drop it and get stabbed with your own blade! Oh and never ever take advice from idiots who wear a tshirt one size too small!
Yeah, good advice about extra-medium tshirt guy.
I accidentally let a lawnmower blade sharpening service sharpen my knife. They trashed it. 20 years later I fixed it.
I have a discontinued Kershaw never used an I love it. Just a knife collector. Originally from Zimbabwe but got kicked out in 2004 so now in UK. British passport, white skin and politically against Mugabe. Probably not clever but I couldn't stand for what he was doing to his own people.
I got 10 knives on my body right now. That's a normal amount, right?
11 when I pocket my wallet.
Where do keep your knives?
I am from Germany and ALL Knifes with a thumbstud AND a locking mechanism are Illegal to carry here in Germany !
Thats why i love Cold Steel so much !!
Great Quality AND you can remove the thumbstud to make them legal to carry here !
Cold Steel❤
es wird nicht legal bloss weil du den daumenpin entfernst, es zählt wie es geliefert/gefertigt wurde.
Yeah, s30 is very fragile. I had my syderco in my pocket with just one penny ,and the penny nicked the side of the spine leaving a small chip. It makes me mad. LOL. Syderco's warranty ain't gonna fix that crap. Not even worth trying. CRY.
don't be scared to try freehand sharpening! It's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be....If u can whittle a stick into a sharp point, u can make any knife as sharp as u need it to be...
He'll George
And do not let a falling Spyderco knife fall and go into your barefoot. Yes…..lots of blood. Big scar. Lesson learned…..hopefully.
Dropping a knife.
Hi
Dunning Krüger Effect basically just means idiots who think they are smart.
Beginner knife mistakes?
Beginners of what?
NEVER NEVER EVER buy a bowie knife stoopidest most worthless knives EVER
I don't collect knives, I just buy them because I want to have them. lol
Not sure if that counts as collecting. I bet it doesn't, and it doesn't need to!
