    If we ever needed proof that the Benchmade customiser has Too Much Power, that green knife is it! But seriously, thanks for another great video Nick, and thanks to Pete for getting the ball rolling.

      That knife is too funny, right down to the details (the upgraded steel with partial serrations)… you can tell quite a few people had a lot of fun with that. (Also pretty funny that Benchmade takes their custom work so seriously that they asked Nick for permission, lol.). The knife community is filled with a lot of really great people.

    Coincidentally, this video popped up the day after I finally completed the Thrifty Thursday winner collection. The collection consists of (in order):
    Opinel No. 6 Carbone
    Ontario Rat Model 1 Aus8 (olive green handles and stonewash blade)
    Cold Steel Tuff Lite (dark earth handle)
    Kershaw Cryo Tanto (stonewash/blackwash)
    I have to say that the Tuff Lite and Rat are my two vacation folders (not including a Milwaukee Fastback Compact).
    Thank you for helping me get so far in this hobby. Your reviews have taught me so much. Without you, I might have gotten into collecting watches.

    Benchmade Mini Barrage is my favorite knife. It’s was my first real knife and I got it in blue and stone wash from Warriors and Wonders with a limited 200 in that color. Made me feel special when cutting rope lines at work out on ski hills. I think they just order from custom shop bulk. Since gotten more Benchmade knives. Wish I could get a full Benchmade in red. Could swear the option was available a year ago but since disappeared.

    The Benchmade customizer, on its own, is a beautiful thing... I wish more companies (at lower price points) would offer the same exact services. I understand why it might not be efficient / effective from a profitability or production standpoint but....... if Gerber can swing it, so can others.
    P.s.: I should not be able to make a Gerber Fast Ball as attractive as I can using that customizer.

    Has Nick ever commented on exactly how this pickpocket took place. How exactly does someone pick pocket a knife? How could you not feel it considering clips actually have tension? I mean I can understand a wallet or something like that but a knife and how would they even be aware it was worth their trouble? This story has always confused me

    • @NickShabazz
      @NickShabazz  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the (highly accurate) youtube videos I've seen about it are correct (leave it to the algorithm)...
      It's not about doing it without the person feeling. It's about creating more obvious incidental, and awkward contact, to hide the smaller contact of the wallet, watch (or in this case, knife.)
