The WE Knives/Elijah Isham Eschaton Art Knife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

- Today, a review I've written and unwritten twice already, of the weirdest and least practical piece of cutlery to ever cross my table, the WE Knives and Elijah Isham Eschaton.
Here's the Birdshot IV Video I mention: • Brous Echelon vs WE Es...
Elijah Isham: “Bet you won’t make this”
We Knives: “Hold my beer”
Peter Galione That is literally what happened
Elijah Isham That’s awesome.
Best Quote ever
lmfao
“Hold my sake”
I don't know this guy Elijah, but he seems like someone who is regularly communicating with long forgotten gods from eons past.
This comment is very witty and entertaining and I tip my hat to you
''reviewing this knife as a tool for cutting is like complaining about the taste of the forsting on the cake a stripper just popped out of'' lmao..
how do you come up with this stuff.
00:30 This knife (I've always thought) would be a really good addition to someone cosplaying as a Klingon.
Right on!
My thoughts exactly!!!!
Qapla' !!!
This video reminded me to carry mine today! Love it. Not a knife to take to the woods, but for a day around town it fits the bill. Believe it or not I actually EDC this thing a lot. But I carry everything I own and I rarely come across anything that truly needs a “hard use” knife. I love unique/ weird knives and this one definitely falls in that category.
The blade is made out of m390 because you never want to HAVE to sharpen it
...and would probably never use it enough in a lifetime to need to even strop it. At that price, I'd do as Nick did and just show it to non-knife savvy folk and watch the reactions. Hang-on, there's an idea for a TH-camr with a few hundred or so to drop for the sake of our entertainment :o).
It doesn't really look that hard to sharpen with any modern system. For the most part, both edges are straight. No recurve or anything.
If that was true they would have used Bohler's Vanadis 10 steel which is harder still.
@@hellcatdave1 a rod system like the sharpmaker should do it
@@BradGryphonn I use $1500 knives... A knife is a knife.
The Hawks are the mad scientists of knife engineering, Isham is the mad scientist of knife design, and I'd tap deep into my savings to buy a collab from them no matter how expensive that beautiful, beautiful madness would be
"Nuttier than squirrel turds." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Joshua Burkhead he took that from me myself and irene
Me, myself, and Irene might have got it from elsewhere, I grew up hearing "nuttier than a squirrels fart". Seemed like a common saying in South London.
Elija has to desingn a automatic, then you have a Autobot...
This video basically sums up why I love this channel
I hate art knives but but this one?!? I LOVE IT!
The shade thrown at Brous was hilarious, Nick you savage.
I know this is an older review, but I come back to videos I've seen before because I get some of the biggest, most boisterous belly laughs from your reviews. Especially when whatever is on your table just has you at a loss. Thank you Nick.
Love mine. I'd take this over something immensely boring like a sebenza anyday. It's a long knife at almost 9" but it doesn't feel all that big since it's so light and thin, compared to something like a Bodega or Max Evolution it seems smaller. I'd equate it to almost like a Tighe in the feeling but less broad even. Cuts just fine for me with packages, steak, loaves of bread, etc.
"This knife may or may not be a decepticon." Best part. had me rolling.
Love this knife,as an art knife, but at it still work as a knife.. great work Elija Isham...
I haven't felt so muc genuine joy while watching a youtube video in a long long time. Thanks for that Nick! As for the Knife: I am thinking about it... I wasn't but I am now.. so thanks for that.. have a good one.
This is the king of mall ninja looking knives!
Cool review... I’ve tried getting into this thing but I just can’t get over the way it looks.. it is very well designed indeed.. you really pointed out a few things that made me like it a little more...
That's a gorgeous knife... If you don't look at it.
Given the surprisingly decent ergonomics I have a feeling that, if you got rid of all the holes in the blade, filled in some in the handle to preserve the balance, and gave it a sensible grind, this would probably make a good cutting tool that would still look relatively badass and out there, especially for those of us with larger hands. I realise this is entirely missing the point but it's something I couldn't help but spot.
Don't hate it because its different. Is it made well? Of good materials? Does it flip well? Is it balanced? Yes on all counts. If I see another spyderco which looks like every other spyderco I think I'll go buy a Z Hunter
LewyTheFlyS13 different strokes. Funky art knives aren’t for me, but I can appreciate some of them. This one is just too non functional to me. I like the Zeta though, looks a little more useable. I like nice knives but they have to be practical for use and sharpening.
You said fiancee again !! Wife man wife 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
firstname lastname if you noticed very close. The ring was on his finger...
Elijah Isham: Highest end mall ninja knife designer
Wait, did he say that Kizer have a knife called the Soze? What is it and where can I buy one!
subroc you are not the only
i love how nick is such a huge dork. the transformers jokes at the end had me cracking up. he only shows his true colors once in a while, but once he gets going its like "ohhh ok i get why this guy is a knife nerd."
Well now we've learned a little bit more about Nick's bachelor party. Enjoyable review as always 😉
Hey Nick, don’t know if you’ll ever read this but this very knife you reviewed just landed in Australia. I purchased it off eBay (they mentioned it was once yours, I can confirm now by the serial number) and had it sent to a company who specialises in exporting from the US, they sent it to an unspecified country in Europe by mistake and sent me a 45lbs computer server instead. After a month of angry emails they finally retrieved it and sent it to me in Australia. I remember you saying selling this was one of your regrets until you got the Damasteel version. Just thought you’d be interested to know the journey this little knife has taken. I’ll take good care of it.
Enjoy it!
Love the Stargate reference
It’s an exercise in design and manufacturing expertise, over function. As a tool I’d take the Rat 1 over this any day of the week. Sorry I won’t get to meet you at Blade Show
N/A because the rat 1 blade will be easier in the field to clean and the handle will be more comfortable to hold over long and hard use.
Best quote "Shine bright, you crazy diamond"
Finally you did. Been waiting
the larger blade hole also doubles as an eyeliner stencil!
As impractical and weird as this knife is I love it!!! Thumbs up as usual Nick.
Man I really want that knife! Worth the money imo
This review is just awesome. So glad you did it without passing out because "what the heck" 😂
Curious that Nick made the stipper cake analogy so soon after his wedding 😝
Perfect for the lunchroom. If your lunchroom is located on the Klingon homeworld, of course.
Love the Pink Floyd reference
Nick, the best way to look at Elijah's work is "Its for looks and actually works well." just be prepared for some odd cleaning, and in this case odd sharpening and honing.
If you still have the Eschaton, is it for sale? I’ve been looking for one for a while now to be my grail knife, and I’m looking to buy.
“At some level $350 is a lot of money?” Don’t you feel as though most of your subscribers are at that level? I sure as hell am.
Custom Knife Factory Decepticon-1 was a very real knife. it shares many design cues with the Eschaton and was a bargain at only $1070 us.
Love your content mate. Hey what university did you go to?
Made for SCI FI movies and impressing your friends. Stay tuned for Elijah's Arrakis, Pleroma and Ǣterna coming in November 2018........
"...nuttier than freakin' squirrel turds." I will be using that in the future.
CountSmackula he got it from me myself and Irene.
@@mforrest1508 it's an old saying that's been around for years in varying forms. I grew up in South London hearing the saying "nuttier than a squirrels fart", I've never seen Me, Myself, and Irene.
Interesting, beautiful design that seems to be well executed. But what would I do with it? Am i really going to use this knife and risk scratching it? I'm not.
I spaced out toward the end.... this knife comes with a stripper?
I have one and it does gather a lot of attention. Once I saw it, I had to have it. Such a strange piece, but glorious in its decepticon identity.
High speed low drag bushcrafting Decepticon. That knife might be a Dinobot.
I wish they made a version of this with the same handle, but a slightly more “normal” blade.
TubieMcTubington they do now! They just announced it at blade show
Hayden Nininger what’s it called?

Hayden Nininger 😍
I have the Ti version, I carry it, it cuts, it works.
That's like saying, "I love this stained glass window! It cost me $62,00, but I can see out of it really well!" XD
No disrespect implied, if you can carry that it'd better be at a museum of modern art 'cause that's the only place it'll fit in.
Thanks a million Nick, i didnt know there was a kizer (keyser) soze and now i gotta preorder one. The usual suspects is one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite
Maybe the most interesting piece I've ever seen...
Great review...
I’ve got it on a display stand in the living room.
Castle Bravo Why?
Which is exactly why I want one.
Omg you got me with the Stargate themed comment! Hello hello nerd!!!
I drew that knife when I was 7
Lost it at 3:35. "Holy'er than the fricken Pope." 😂😂😂 sometimes I'm just here for the commentary tbh.
The Department of Defense has announced this is going to be standard issue for the Space Force.
That stripper analogy! classic. Excellent and very fair review.
Nick- Hilarious review and right on the mark. I have one of these and can now get into any Star Trek Convention for free. Great for batoning and any bushcrafting :-) The Brous Echelon was a piece of garbage. Not one broken edge. Isham won't work with Brous anymore. He did an earlier knife with Brous called the Raven and it has many similarities to the Eschaton and is of way better quality than the Echelon. I like Isham's crazy designs and have several. I think your wedding ring could use some champhering.
I now love your channel even more. With that pink floyd comment at the end. Man i love me some floyd .grandchester meadow is proabably my all time favorite song from them. ..love peace and afro grease
Wowowowowow now we are talking!!!
When did Riddick become a knife designer?
I wish I could find one of these sooooo bad… Eschaton and Zeta are last knives I need to complete my entire Isham collection 😭
Art knife . Full stop. Did it also come with a frame?
There should be a head-to-head comparison of this and the CKF Decepticon - it'd be like two bald men fighting over a comb..!!
What happened to your Norseman? I thought it was blue not gold, or is it like that dress from a few years ago?
It's the Dress. In all seriousness, a good friend bought my original one, then offered me a great deal on another from his collection later on. :)
Love the design
The flytanium scales will cover the entire handle and for the first time the entire blade.
I hate it, you know gunk and shit is just going to get caught up in all the holes when you cut anything. Fuck cleaning that. It's basically a knife to show people and leave on your shelf.
At what point is a knife not a knife, only a sharp thing?
Nuttier than squirrel turds, that is my new favorite line.
"Complaining about the flavor of the icing, on the cake, that the stripper just popped out of." Is a close second.
“Nuttier then freaking squirrel turds!”
I wonder if Elijah's design process is similar to Frank Gehry's (as depicted on the Simpsons)
I’ve searched for a review on the 918 by you
I swear I saw nick review this knife several months ago. I think I've lost my mind O_o
"Star Gatey knives" awesome
I’m here from 2022. Nick has dropped to one video a week and Elijah died in a gunfight.
Nick, this is a very unusual knife. Please do a review of the Spyderco Delica in ZDP-189. I'm starting to think this is almost the perfect every day carry knife. Thank you for your great reviews.
For a man who regularly wears a Batman mask, I am a little disappointed that you didn't approach it from that angle.
All those holes and where should a Norse Klingon put its lanyard?
Wow, just wow. Great to see one close up & personal.. & ermmm fiancé?! 🤣❤️
I think it's a fantastic knife and looking at what attracts you i'm surprised you aren't keeping it.
The official knife of Alien 1,2,3,4,5&6!
Wait what end is the blade on?
re sharpening. When Bird reviewed it, I asked that question. He said it was easy...he was not being sarcastic.
This is actually a pretty decent cutting tool. I EDC this to work almost every day and work in the financial industry in an uptight office. Every now and then I flick it open in front of coworkers to cut some chicken for lunch or open a package and relish their confused expression. I pull in too much money for the company for anyone to say shit to me.
This was taken from the Klingon empire.
Great review, thanks
More than meets the eye.
No comments on this one? Wow. Nice knife.
if i bought this knife, i know i would be through with collecting, because it would mean i already owned everything ever made that could be construed as a knife. this is, at best, a movie prop for a movie i would never watch.
Hi Nick! Huge fan here! 😊
I have an integral knife design that i want to get produced and it will be my first knife design. People on the social media loves the renders of it and i will be glad if you can make a review of it when the prototype is ready. I really don't know how to contact you in a private conversation so please if you are reading this, please hit me a message and i can share the renders with you. Have a great day! 😊
lol great review..love his knives
more holes and fullers than a Todd Begg factory outlet.
Nice.
This is the weirdest thing I've gotten really close to justify buying. I would never carry this. I would probably just sit at home after work and just look at it, and I can't say for sure I'd be able to feel the obvious regret I should feel for doing it.
This is one of those knives where the good that I can say about it is that I have a lot of respect for the materials. I just think the materials would have been better used making a great tool rather than... whatever that is. I see how some could love it for being an art piece made of quality materials, just that’s not me personally.
Tactical cheese knife?
I love that knife!
