Instead of a Penguin, I have a ST 103. Same shape, a bit longer. This knife looks like it would fit right in with the Bedouins in the desert, If you take this one out in the 'wrong' place, Somebody is going to scream and faint. I really like this one. Tip up or tip down doesn't really matter to me, just a matter of muscle memory and practice. If you need to open this really quickly, bring a pistol.
I like having the Penguin, ST103, and Pelican. It's three sizes of the exact same knife! Such a great design! Yeah, you wouldn't want to pull this one out in the breakroom🤣. Thank you for contributing to the "survey". I'm getting a lot of great input! Have a great weekend, Tim!
This is a solid option for my camping tote. That blade shape is borderline silly for EDC but totally workable for cutting twine, shaving tinder, slicing hot dogs, and stabbing angry wombats. I normally hate thicc ole handles too but they are certainly better if you're wearing gloves. I have stocky knives for camping but man they are all so boring! The looks you'd get whipping this out to sharpen a marshmallow skewer 😂
😅 Or if someone sitting around the fire says "anybody have a pocket knife I can borrow😆 I think it would be a great camping knife to have in the tote! Thank you aawillma!
I got this one in jade a couple months ago, hoping it will work well for food prep in the camp ground this summer. I like that the flipper tab doesn't lift the cutting edge from the surface all that much. Thanks for the disassembly, I'll follow along when I take mine apart for some KPL love.
Oh, it does seem like a good campsite knife! I'm with you on the flipper tab. It is annoying when a good cutter gets blocked by a huge flipper. You are very welcome bro! Have a great weekend!
I have 3 EFs and for the money you cannot beat them. I have seen some folks comment that they think they are copying other makers. I personally do not care and for the price and workmanship, I’d buy them all day.
Yes, it's a highly debated issue. I like the EF's I've seen, and they are a good value. I'm glad there are knives out there for folks that want to collect knives, and not pay hundreds for each one.
The fact that your just as excited to open a ef knife as you are a two sun or kizer knife shows your love for the community and how genuine you stay on or off camera!! Love ya brother beez!! That is a cool blade shape tho for real! Lol
I have the 951 axis lock and it’s slick as hell. Ordering the 963 next. Also axis lock. Both have deep carry clips as well. I have switched from expensive knife collecting to budget and I have no regrets so far.
@@BeezBlades yes for sure. And it made collecting fun again. Just wasn’t a return on investment over 100$. So the fancy ones sit and the budget ones get used and collected.
I didn't even think about tip down carry being a thing. I learn something every time I watch this channel. The video is great, a new knife to me. I like reading the comments, funny, interesting and like I said I learn a few things.
Tip down carry was all I had known until I discovered modern pocket knives, and the knife community! Thank you for the kind words, brother! I love learning new things about knives too! There's a wealth of information, and we all share it! Have a great rest of your weekend!
I love how your thumbnails have a shot of your review knife from directly above it. It makes it so you absolutely can't tell what brand/model it is. It definitely peaks my interest to see what you have on the table for today. Great job!
Great video again, Beez. I wasn't too interested in the knife at the start, but I might be now. Tip up, tip down doesn't bother me as long as the detent is good to hold the blade in place. Have a bee-lessed day.🐝🐝🐝
Morning. Awesome stream last night.👍 I was thinking of an overripe banana when I first saw it.🤣 Nice though. Kinda looks like a stork when open. Congratulations, 🍷 hiccup, your a mother. 😂 Alot of great budget knives out there. Thanks for the video Beez. Have good weekend.
Afternoon brother! I read this, this morning. Just now getting a chance to say hi. I'm kind-of thinking the underside of a blue whale for the blade. Hmmm. You are very welcome, and a great weekend to you Dwayne!!
Great video. This is a wicked looking knife. I have carried both ways. Tip up and tip down. Tip down were my Kershaws. I found a more rapid blade deployment on tip down. My fingers were closer to the flipper upon deployment from the pocket. I did have a tip up blade open in my pocket once. A strong detent is needed for tip up carry.
Thank you for the feedback Kevin! You make some great points! I've had a couple knives get me good because of tip-up carry and weak detents! Have a great weekend, my friend!!
Right!😅 It was a great day Greg. I saw you comment this morning. We had a warm day pass through and it was nice to be in the sunshine! Now, it's going to rain for 2 days😆. Thank you, brother! Have a great Sunday!
Good morning Mr. Beez, I'm not picky about tip up or tip down. However, I am picky about the socks I wear. Wool socks, always wool socks. Absolutely agree that knives shouldn't have to always be serious looking. I feel there's quite alot of us that think that way. Examples : The Dessert Warrior, CRKT Ritual... right? Ok, enough of my blabbing. Pork roast in the slow cooker today!
Afternoon MrJeronimofo! (It's afternoon now, but I read it this morning) The only time I've worn wool socks is in the winter. Interesting. Exactly! Sometimes when I show a fun knife like this, I get comments from folks that are taking things a little too serious. It's knife collecting! It's fun!! Thank you, brother! Have a great weekend!
To start tip or tip down is not that big of a deal for me. In fact a pocket clip is that essential for me. I can carry a pocket knife in my pocket. But I wear cargo pants, not everyone is going to have the roomy pockets for that kind of carry. I prefer a tip down carry with a pocket clip. This is awesome looking knife. Its different. And it is a Fidget Monster! Are you kidding me its a front flipper? Awesome! Better materials and I would pay a lot more for this. Awesome find Beez, thanks for sharing it with us. You find the best budget knives.
Thank you TopDog! You always have great input! I was blown away when I discovered it was also a front flipper! I can't wait to play with this thing as soon as I know the thread locker is good and set! You are very welcome, brother! I find some, and others are found by awesome members of the Beez Hive!!! Have a great weekend!
I'm having so much fun with all of the budget knives! I want one of every size, shape, and color😅. I like it when I'm surprised by one too! Thank you Justin, and here's to a great rest of your weekend! 👊
That's Sick!!! I don't really care for tip down carry but in this case I wouldn't mind. My Spyderco Military is tip down, so there's that. Carrying tip up is a bit safer, with the blade being up against the back of the pocket. Tip down is well suited for back pocket carry for the same reason. Great review 💥
Jeff! I finally get to reply! Thank you for the insight. I'm liking all the input from people on the tip-up/tip-down carry. That's a good point about back pocket carry too! Thank you, brother!
For me, the tip-down configuration usually interferes with the ergonomics too much, especially when employing the pinch grip. However, if overall the knife makes an impression, like most other things, it can be overlooked. At the least, the clip can always be removed, which improves ergos but can limit functionality like safe one-handed opening and closing, as one sometimes needs the purchase area a clip affords. Occasionally, a tip-down knife adds to the vintage look the designer may be trying to achieve overall, and is therefore fitting.
They pretty thought this through, much going around for opening options as well as holding possibillities. Quite awesome for a budget beater. Thank you BB.
Thank you imiggy!! It's so much fun, and goes so quickly!! You are welcome! I always enjoy familiar "faces" in the chats and live streams. It's my extended knife-family🤗. Have an awesome weekend!
It’s definitely a long blade for those who like them. Another large budget knife that has a 4in. plus blade is the S-TEC TS011. 4.5 inch blade and 5.5 in handle. Thanks for the look Beez!
Thank you for always recommending knives, Matt! I have an official list of knives to check out that are recommended by Hive members. You are welcome, brother! Enjoy your weekend!
I love it. Looks like a great working knife for lots of different tasks. 😍😍 I like that there's a long cutting edge but not a necessarily a huge chonking slab of metal. It long & thin unlike my CRKT Raikiri.
That's pretty cool you're not arrogant it's right if people don't correct you or to show you where you're wrong you never learn. I'm a work in progress I'll never know everything about anything!
You should check out the Sitivien ST115 & ST116. Pretty similar knives but has the pocket clip in a more reasonable place. Think they both are around $20. Great knifes for the price :)
Hey Beez, how's your day going? I haven't had breakfast yet, don't know what I'm having. This is a cool knife, but I'm going to have to think about that tip-down carry. The price is definitely perfect, and in the long run I doubt tip-down will bother me enough not to eventually get this knife. Worst-case scenario is I drill and tap for tip-up carry...
What up Ed! I made a late breakfast/early lunch. See. I knew we would get some good feedback on the tip-up/tip-down debate! Thank you, brother! Have a great weekend!
Faster deployment, tip up, more comfort, tip down . Not all that long ago all knives were tip down carry. Don't care either way myself. Have a mate who cries over the loss of tip down on anything decent.
Unique blade indeed.those force your fingers into a certain grip thing though is not favorable. Then add in the clip in those forced finger placements, might be to much to overcome. Thanks 🐝 Beez 🐝
I prefer tip down carry. My very first pocket knife I carried religiously was only available in tip down carry and now my hand instinctively knows where the deployment is. I always have to flip the knife around with tip up. More knives should be made in tip down.
I was thinking the same thing. I will definitely be trying it out in the kitchen after the thread locker sets! Thank you, and have a great weekend Terry!
Been buying and collecting for 4 years and have never bought or tried "TIP DOWN" because 99% of knife reviewers praised a knife for being "TIP UP". Ya think I'd be struck by lightning if I bought this Eafengrow or switched clips? With "TIP UP", my thumb and forefinger, drawing the knife out of my right hand pocket, is all that closer to the knife's pivot, flipper, stud, hole, disk, or blade fuller for quick deployment. No? As to this Eafengrow, this long knife is going to be my perfect skinner/boner in the kitchen. Here, it's simply "TIP IN".
Well said, sir! A vote for Tip in. Excellent. Kitchen and camping is definitely the theme that's coming from the group. Thank you ths tai! Have a great rest of your weekend!
The pro of carrying a tip up is when you pull the knife out of your pocket it flips out straight down automatically if you have tip down you have to flip the knife around in your hand before you deploy it in order to deploy It Forward or else you deploy it backwards
Thank you Travis! I love hearing the different reasons for either way. The history of tip-down makes me wonder how newer folks to knife collecting feel about it. You rock Travis! Have a great weekend, my friend!
I am not super well versed in tip down carry. However I do have a Harnds Blazer, tip down carry (also comes with a pouch). When I pull it from my pocket I don't have to do any fumbling with the knife to deploy the blade. It is perfectly set in my hand to deploy. Perhaps because of the size of the knife? Anyway, my concern is the knife coming open in the pocket. Tip down if it opens its pointing at your leg, tip up if it comes open its pointing at the back of your pocket, much safer.
This knife is a lot larger than I usually buy biut for the price I think I'll try it out. As far the pocket clip question goes - I don't care since I generally just drop the knife in my pocket without using the clip. If you are using the pocket clip it seems as if tip up would be better/faster since your had goes on the knife the wayt you have to hold it to deploy the blade. I'm new to the knife3 community but you are one. of the few TH-cam channels I watch without fail. Thanks for all the info.
For the price. Its a 🏆 winner with me I like funky different blade shapes and it's D2 not to bad not to bad ! And 3 different deployment methods look at it Just look at it great show. HI from the 🇬🇧 👋
Now, I am not knocking this knife at this price. It has a lot going for it. I just want to make it known that many on the internet have tested the steel on Eafengrow knives (specifically the ones with their logo) do not actually have the steel that is advertised or stamped on the blade. Quite often the actual steel is 8cr13Mov. Thanks for the review.
I do not have the ability to test knives. So my go to for testing results is Luv Them Knives channel as he posts the results and then does a video usually showing the test paperwork. No room for mistakes. He has tested EAFENGROW and found it to be real D2 in most of the knives. I would check for a specific knife model rather than relying on, the "most". Also Eafengrow has CH under their wing, who in my opinion is always reliable. Not defending Eafengrow as its always the genuine steel, because the older ones are not, more likely some form of 440.
Good afternoon Matt. Thank you for the info. I do know that Eafengrow has a new owner, who vows to always label steel correctly. I'm not sure how recent this knife is, but LTK has tested a bunch of EF's and they show true D2. This one? I don't know, but like you said, for the price..eh. Thank you for the insight, brother! Here's to a great weekend!
@@BeezBlades thanks. It has been several months since I looked at any Eafengrow testing, so it may actually be D2 steel. I was not aware of the new owner. It is good to hear a commitment to correct, honest labelling of the steel.
Definatly a cool knife. Love the size of it and the ergos look great. Crazy how much knife you can get for so little money. Interesting that they went with steel ball bearings but as long as the action is good it really doesn't matter especially st this price point. Thanks for the look see Beez and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
This has kind of that Persian shape but it's not too crazy. I prefer a tip up because it seems like there is less fumbling around to get it deployed out of the pockect. I appreciate all of these good budget knives especially now since my car died last week. My knife budget just took a nose dive.
Oh no! Not good! Having a car break-down is the worst! Yeah, I don't have a big budget for knives, and that's why I focus on the budget lines. I am fortunate that the pricier knives are donated for review, because it gives me an opportunity to share. When a knife hits the $60-70 mark or higher, I have to put more thought into weather it's a good investment for the channel, and something that Hive Members will enjoy seeing. I hope you get the car figured out! Thank you for your support Ken! I like your channel picture, because I instantly know who it is! Have a great weekend nevertheless!
I am not super versed in tip up and tip down carry. I do have a Harnds Blazer, its tip down carry (also comes with a pouch). And if put in my pocket using the clip and pull it out, I don't have turn or fumble with the knife, its orientated perfectly for deployment. My concern if any would be it opening in my pocket.
Duuuude! Tell me what you think when you get it! It makes you just want to cut and chop things😅. (Is that some Yoda coming out there?) Thank you brother!! Have a great Sunday!
I carry tip up. I few of the spydercos I left tip down but because of the hump I couldn't reach past it to get my keys out of my pocket. It blocked like half my pocket off where tip down allowed me to slide past it easier.
Hi Beez! Cool knife and great video! Some of these budget knives are really impressive. I have a Sitivian that I have razor sharp and the action is incredible. My Penguin is also impressive and especially for not having bearings, which is my only complaint. I still have a long wish list but with these budget knives I should have a nice collection within a couple years.
Looks like a decent beater! Though the tip down carry kills it for me. I have tip down knives but tip up just deploys quicker for me, and seems more intuitive.I think it deserves a nickname, how about “Pat Scimitar” Thanks for the review Beez!
I remember in the early 80s they had like in the grocery store stand the Barlow that's all it said Barlow is probably a $4 knife and my step brother thought it was the greatest thing lol
*Looking forward to getting my "finger way up in there" **13:19** (LOL!).* *Seriously, I'm a tightwad who works knives, and I see a lot of value here.* *I'm getting one in "Jade".* *Thanks for the review. - Thumbs up # 295 - SUBSCRIBED - notification bell hit*
🤣🤣🤣 Love it! Hahaha, thanks for the chuckle. I can't help but drop at least one innuendo and about every video 😅. I hear you! I'm frugal with my money too! That's why most of the knives I review are budget knives. Thank you, TropoCal! Welcome, my friend!
HELLLLLLOOOO...... BEEEEEEZ! Great review! I'm totally sold on the dudads. They work so good. I just got ...... micarta...... my first pack last Friday. Why did I wait so long to get some? See you next Friday when you're Live from the Hive! #petbentley
I was totally surprised when I realized it was also a front-flipper!! I thought it was kind-of funny to add the countdown to my aha moment😅. An added deployment is always awesome! Thank you, Travis! Have a great weekend!!
Dude, I missed this one in your posts yesterday!? What’s up with that? Just when a creator thinks hey can count on somebody…. BTW my vote is for the “Angry Skunk”
Instead of a Penguin, I have a ST 103. Same shape, a bit longer.

I am not crazy about the blade shape here but really like the ef936. Its on the way! Thanks for the videos
It's very different, that's for sure!
Oh, nice!
You are very welcome, William! Have a great rest of your weekend!
That bad boys got triple deployment
I prefer tip down carry. My very first pocket knife I carried religiously was only available in tip down carry and now my hand instinctively knows where the deployment is. I always have to flip the knife around with tip up. More knives should be made in tip down.
Ah. Good to know! Thank you, John!! Have a great weekend!!
actually looks like it might be pretty decent for food prep.
I was thinking the same thing. I will definitely be trying it out in the kitchen after the thread locker sets!
Thank you, and have a great weekend Terry!
That is certainly a crazy blade. Pretty cool.
Blade for days!
Been buying and collecting for 4 years and have never bought or tried "TIP DOWN" because 99% of knife reviewers praised a knife for being "TIP UP". Ya think I'd be struck by lightning if I bought this Eafengrow or switched clips? With "TIP UP", my thumb and forefinger, drawing the knife out of my right hand pocket, is all that closer to the knife's pivot, flipper, stud, hole, disk, or blade fuller for quick deployment. No? As to this Eafengrow, this long knife is going to be my perfect skinner/boner in the kitchen. Here, it's simply "TIP IN".
Well said, sir! A vote for Tip in. Excellent. Kitchen and camping is definitely the theme that's coming from the group.
Thank you ths tai! Have a great rest of your weekend!
The pro of carrying a tip up is when you pull the knife out of your pocket it flips out straight down automatically if you have tip down you have to flip the knife around in your hand before you deploy it in order to deploy It Forward or else you deploy it backwards
Thank you Travis! I love hearing the different reasons for either way. The history of tip-down makes me wonder how newer folks to knife collecting feel about it.
You rock Travis! Have a great weekend, my friend!
I am not super well versed in tip down carry. However I do have a Harnds Blazer, tip down carry (also comes with a pouch). When I pull it from my pocket I don't have to do any fumbling with the knife to deploy the blade. It is perfectly set in my hand to deploy. Perhaps because of the size of the knife? Anyway, my concern is the knife coming open in the pocket. Tip down if it opens its pointing at your leg, tip up if it comes open its pointing at the back of your pocket, much safer.
This knife is a lot larger than I usually buy biut for the price I think I'll try it out. As far the pocket clip question goes - I don't care since I generally just drop the knife in my pocket without using the clip. If you are using the pocket clip it seems as if tip up would be better/faster since your had goes on the knife the wayt you have to hold it to deploy the blade. I'm new to the knife3 community but you are one. of the few TH-cam channels I watch without fail. Thanks for all the info.
You're very welcome, my friend!
I'm with you on the tip up carry. I'm so glad you enjoy the content! Hope you're having a great week. 🌞👊🐝
For the price. Its a 🏆 winner with me I like funky different blade shapes and it's D2 not to bad not to bad ! And 3 different deployment methods look at it Just look at it great show. HI from the 🇬🇧 👋
A reason to carry tip up is when pulling the knife you can just flick it open ready ti use quickly..
Thank you William! It's fun to see the different reasons in the comments!
This is fun!
Have a great weekend, my friend!
@@BeezBlades Just call me Bill....
Now, I am not knocking this knife at this price. It has a lot going for it. I just want to make it known that many on the internet have tested the steel on Eafengrow knives (specifically the ones with their logo) do not actually have the steel that is advertised or stamped on the blade. Quite often the actual steel is 8cr13Mov. Thanks for the review.
I do not have the ability to test knives. So my go to for testing results is Luv Them Knives channel as he posts the results and then does a video usually showing the test paperwork. No room for mistakes. He has tested EAFENGROW and found it to be real D2 in most of the knives. I would check for a specific knife model rather than relying on, the "most". Also Eafengrow has CH under their wing, who in my opinion is always reliable. Not defending Eafengrow as its always the genuine steel, because the older ones are not, more likely some form of 440.
Good afternoon Matt. Thank you for the info. I do know that Eafengrow has a new owner, who vows to always label steel correctly. I'm not sure how recent this knife is, but LTK has tested a bunch of EF's and they show true D2. This one? I don't know, but like you said, for the price..eh. Thank you for the insight, brother! Here's to a great weekend!
@@BeezBlades thanks. It has been several months since I looked at any Eafengrow testing, so it may actually be D2 steel. I was not aware of the new owner. It is good to hear a commitment to correct, honest labelling of the steel.
Definatly a cool knife. Love the size of it and the ergos look great. Crazy how much knife you can get for so little money. Interesting that they went with steel ball bearings but as long as the action is good it really doesn't matter especially st this price point. Thanks for the look see Beez and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
This has kind of that Persian shape but it's not too crazy. I prefer a tip up because it seems like there is less fumbling around to get it deployed out of the pockect. I appreciate all of these good budget knives especially now since my car died last week. My knife budget just took a nose dive.
Oh no! Not good! Having a car break-down is the worst!
Yeah, I don't have a big budget for knives, and that's why I focus on the budget lines. I am fortunate that the pricier knives are donated for review, because it gives me an opportunity to share. When a knife hits the $60-70 mark or higher, I have to put more thought into weather it's a good investment for the channel, and something that Hive Members will enjoy seeing.
I hope you get the car figured out! Thank you for your support Ken! I like your channel picture, because I instantly know who it is! Have a great weekend nevertheless!
I am not super versed in tip up and tip down carry. I do have a Harnds Blazer, its tip down carry (also comes with a pouch). And if put in my pocket using the clip and pull it out, I don't have turn or fumble with the knife, its orientated perfectly for deployment. My concern if any would be it opening in my pocket.
Cool knife man .
I like that lube application device I need some of those
Did it again Beez. Only 5 of the black left on Amazon (well 4 now). Sweet it looks.
Duuuude! Tell me what you think when you get it! It makes you just want to cut and chop things😅. (Is that some Yoda coming out there?)
Thank you brother!! Have a great Sunday!
Definitely wicked! Kinda big for me but definitely sweet👌
It could be your pocket sword! You would have to get bigger pockets!😆
Thank you Sar e i e a!!
Haha so true! Or carry a sheath😂 😉
I carry tip up. I few of the spydercos I left tip down but because of the hump I couldn't reach past it to get my keys out of my pocket. It blocked like half my pocket off where tip down allowed me to slide past it easier.
Oooh, okay, okay. See. I knew there would be good reasons for both! Thank you!
Have a great weekend!!
I’ve been seeing this brand around a lot and it makes me think of the song Even Flow by Pearl Jam. 😂
🤣 Now I have that stuck in my head!
@@BeezBlades #SorryNotSorry 🤣
Slick knife! I like that odd design!!
love seeing how knives work. thanks!
yeah, that is a fun blade. I do like some long knives. I have bigger hands than average
There's a lot of guys with bigger hands, and this would definitely fit the bill! I bet a lot of edc knives seem small to you.
Thank you, brother!
Cool knife for $30 bucks 👍🏻
Right! It way more than exceeded my expectations!!
Thank you Mike! Have a great weekend, my friend!!
Just bought this model and am excited how it looks and feels.
Best live stream on the interweb!
Interesting. I'm a fan of more traditional straight lines. Pocket clip looks better than other Eafengrow offerings!
I think this one had a longer screw also, in the base? Maybe not, just bad eyes after a long day watching TH-cam, your the best brother.
Great video, Beez ! Question : Who, besides amazon, carries Sencut ? Hard to find an alternative source. Thanks, Beez. Have a great weekend !
The sencut site and Amazon are the only places you can get Sencut as far as I know.
Enjoy your weekend brother!
Wicked shape and form. 3 body standoffs liner construction 💪💪💪
Interesting shape
INTERESTING BEEZ , LOOKS LIKE AN OLD TIME SICKLE
tip up carry in the right pocket with the blade opening next to the pant seam. It's about .5 ms faster to deploy if you are right handed.
Hi Beez! Cool knife and great video! Some of these budget knives are really impressive. I have a Sitivian that I have razor sharp and the action is incredible. My Penguin is also impressive and especially for not having bearings, which is my only complaint. I still have a long wish list but with these budget knives I should have a nice collection within a couple years.
That would make a great camp chef knife
Nice knife I actually really like the EF knives never bought a bad one
Looks like a decent beater! Though the tip down carry kills it for me. I have tip down knives but tip up just deploys quicker for me, and seems more intuitive.I think it deserves a nickname, how about “Pat Scimitar” Thanks for the review Beez!
IT is crazy huge
the Blade is too Long for my taste
Funny to See in the Video but i save the Money for the next awesome Knife
Looks like that one would get some use in the kitchen. lol
Exactly 😆. I think it would be a good one for camping!
Thank you Laura!
Crazy! Fidget friendly for all
Very Nice… another wish list item, Tks!
You are welcome! Thank you, Rory!
These eafengrows are really decent knives I have 3 ok 4 if them and have never had an issue with one.
I like it!
Very nice
I remember in the early 80s they had like in the grocery store stand the Barlow that's all it said Barlow is probably a $4 knife and my step brother thought it was the greatest thing lol
*Looking forward to getting my "finger way up in there" **13:19** (LOL!).*
*Seriously, I'm a tightwad who works knives, and I see a lot of value here.*
*I'm getting one in "Jade".*
*Thanks for the review. - Thumbs up # 295 - SUBSCRIBED - notification bell hit*
🤣🤣🤣 Love it! Hahaha, thanks for the chuckle. I can't help but drop at least one innuendo and about every video 😅.
I hear you! I'm frugal with my money too! That's why most of the knives I review are budget knives.
Thank you, TropoCal! Welcome, my friend!
@@BeezBlades
*Perfect place to be, Thank You.*
HELLLLLLOOOO...... BEEEEEEZ! Great review! I'm totally sold on the dudads. They work so good. I just got ...... micarta...... my first pack last Friday. Why did I wait so long to get some? See you next Friday when you're Live from the Hive! #petbentley
Friday will be here before you know it!! Doodads for everyone! (I wish) lol
It's a front flipper man my guy at work has that exact knife
I was totally surprised when I realized it was also a front-flipper!! I thought it was kind-of funny to add the countdown to my aha moment😅. An added deployment is always awesome!
Thank you, Travis! Have a great weekend!!
The reason i watch all your is your funny commentary lol Your ocd like me 🤣 Not sure i like tip down carry though
И ещё один комментарий в поддержку канала 😎👍
Very nice,very Very nice
Hey Beez,how can I get a Beezblades sticker and a queen bee one?
@@robertfeely8775 Send me an email. It's in the video description👊✊
Yes, sir! Very nice, and a big ole blade!!
Definitely enjoy your videos
Looks kinda like the Kizer Doberman!
Dude, I missed this one in your posts yesterday!? What’s up with that? Just when a creator thinks hey can count on somebody….
BTW my vote is for the “Angry Skunk”
Eafengrow,Sitivien & Jufule is all the same company if I'm not mistaken.
CH as well!
Good morning..
Good afternoon Ed. I hope you are having a great weekend!
First Beez!
Early riser! I hope you are having an awesome weekend Brandon! Thank you, brother!
