I try to keep most of my knife purchases under 100 bucks, but that anv in magnacut scares my wallet...as an outdoorsman and runner my favorite knife is the Bugout for it's versatility between everyday tasks and those activities. The anv seems like a very similar option.
Watching from South Africa🇿🇦 - I had to check if Chris Reeves had any ties to South Africa as the names “Sebenza” “Inkosi” “Mnumzan” are from one of our native languages.
I am so jealous of the TRM with the Trout Scales lol I love river fishing for trout and I would love to have a knife like that in my collection. Bravo sir, bravo. Love your content man 👍
You know what they say about great minds…I grabbed a MAC2 3.5 as well right after a Rosie. I love the trout scales and have them for my Atom as well. I also grabbed an Abyss from Acrane. I went to look at the Crawler and left with the Abyss. The prototypes they had got me very excited especially for the Preytheon. I think they are flying under a lot of peoples radar. It was great to see you again this year and can’t wait for next year!
The 3d mini knuck toy was from mcnees out of the gumball machine or at his booth. Be nice is one of their slogans. I love the loot you came home with! It was good to meet you!
Stoked on the episode. I bet blade show could get kinda overwhelming. That's a lot of ground to cover. Thanks for the content. I hope everybody in the community is having a good one. 🤙🏾
Ok, if you are going to EDC a fixie, they combo very well with a micro multi tool. My fixie goes with a gerber dime, which has a tiny little thin scalpel sized blade, for tiny fine cuts and my Fixie is a tank for the opposite. Since you demand a slip style sheath, find a leather crafter and make a slip for every fixie you have.
Great video, I especially liked the T KELL knives, do you think you could do a more in depth review of each...those are some fine blades and a great company.
I wouldn't ever spend that much but that fixed blade CRK is beautiful. Great pickups man, I'm jealous! Edit: I'm just not spending that much cause I don't bushcraft or anything. If I did I could see spending 300 on a fixed blade
I got sent to Las Vegas 6 times during my USAF career. I never was lucky enough to get there during Shot Show, Blade Show (which I just heard of) or Sema. I seriously doubt I would have actually been able to attend any of them, but I always wanted to. Could you imagine if Blade Show gave out goody bags, like they hive out at huge celebrity events/ award shows?! Also, have you ever thought about EDC from a different perspective? I’ve seen your pocket check videos and you see a lot of the same categories of items. A fire starting option, a light, a multi tool, at least a pocket knife(most of the time also a neck knife and belt knife), cordage, tape, writing utensil, lock picking tool, and a pry bar keychain. You don’t show the firearms from the handful of videos I’ve seen so far. I have to look at everything slightly different. See, my EDC isn’t about being lost in the woods or camping sort of stuff. Me, I look at the things I know for sure I’ll need in a trip outside my home and take the fewest amount of things. Because weight is pain. The amount of things I keep on me have to fit in my front 2 pockets. I am looking into a sling bag to allow me to carry more, I just haven’t found one I like just yet. The things that would go in that would be things that could make my life easier in one way or another. I tried making a very small pouch and attaching it to my cane but the weight of it through off my gate enough to be considered a possible fall hazard. If I could make something that would really help the most, it would be a very thin legged tripod seat. I know they’ve made some for a century now but never ultralight or hidden, which is seen by others as a novelty and the person using it put in a category with lazy or similar. Even when I’m using my wheelchair I get put in those categories. One of my meds caused me to gain weight rapidly and I haven’t been able to find a replacement for that medication. But if we are in a place like a mall, that for some reason thinks carpet is a good thing, my wife has to help me because it feels like I’m trying to pull myself through soft ground and causes added pain from the sort of effort I have to put into going anywhere , I get dirty looks and people actually will address my wife instead of me, even if I’m the one that asked the questions…. All that to ask if you have ever thought of EDC from an injured already starting point? Mine is lower spine injuries that restrict movement and stability. My #1 is paracord and D rings.
Great finds and cool to see you didnt just go to all "famous" makers. Also awesome to see your genuine appreciation for the folks who watch and support your channel 👍
Hey Taylor I was watching you blade show video from last year and heard you mention you want a fitness tracker but miss your analog watches. I encourage you to look into the Withings hybrid smart watches. It has an analog dial with a tiny screen that shows notifications, steps, sleep all the other general fitness stuff and the battery lasts literally a month. Ive had the Steel HR for like 3 years now and love it. I work in an office so I wanted the look of a nicer analog watch over a fitbit and the battery life is what completely sold me. Not sure if you found something to fit your needs yet or if youre still looking but I would definitely check them out.
Ahhh dude I’ve had my eye on all different kinds of Acta non Verba knives. Just very sleek looking design to them but I don’t know much about Slepner? Schelpner? No idea... lol but yeah I don’t know much about it. An dude... their fixed blades are dope!!!
The backpacker and inyoni will both eventually be in magnacut but Tim said in a crk facebook video that they'll have to burn through some of their surplus s45vn first
Man I love your videos! You show so many things I want for my EDC or EDC backpack and my category EDC luggage. I will say though that everything is definitely expensive stuff most of the time. No judgment. Big fan keep it going :)
Another great video! I started watching you when I was building my edc and came to like your series on building an edc from select stores. Could you do best edc from 5.11 and Duluth trading co. Thanks !
Tyler you can buy paracord that glows in the dark and it works pretty good you just kind of have to rub it keep it clean on Amazon keep up the great work you're awesome
You can also get cordage for tents, etc. that have reflective material as a part of the cord from Nite Ize. It's great for not tripping over guy lines on tents. It's a little thinner gauge than paracord, and is green in color. Shines brilliantly under light at night.
The Mac2 3.5 is pretty awesome. I think I like my 3 inch better though. They are both awesome but the 3 inch never hurt my thumb lol. That 3.5 took me a while to figure out where to put my thumb on that stud to get it to open. Its broken in some now so its not so brutal but I have one with the frag pattern and green ano with Magnacut I got from McNees back in April when I was at my other house in Alabama then recently I got one of the TAD edition 3.0 in bronze with the topo and the fullers on the ti like TAD does. That thing is awesome.
Love the longer videos. But I was wondering can you do a video on getting kids into edc what would be a good start I’m looking to get my 14 year old into edc I was think getting him a nice Swiss Army knife but as he not much of an outdoorsy kid what would be a good one that might inspire him to get out and use it…. Kids these days
Great taste in knives. I want that backpacker so bad. Trying to find one now lol Just found your channel, I like it. Subbed for sure! Keep the content coming! Also, the room your in is designed so good. What color is the wall? Is that green? It looks sick!
I realize this video is 2 years old . And I'm wondering if anybody ever told you that a third is bigger than 1/4? just being a smartass. I just found your content so I'm watching the old stuff
I find it a little bit funny that nearly all of these products are sold out. Edc is so much fun. I realy like alot of the stuff i see, but after i got away from the custom and rare vape stuff i dont get hyped by edc things. I like the setups you show. But i dont have the time, money or energie to focus on a perfekt for my self.
I’m trying to track down a table in the side room. The company made cigar ashtrays out of micarta. I didn’t buy one and regretted it and cant remember their name. Hoping someone here might be able to help. Thanks!
Midtech is probably not the best adjective here... "Midtech" describes a level of technological sophistication based on what is available to the public. what you're referring to is more so the relative scale of production vs custom. "production" would refer to knives made on an assembly line in batches, and they usually follow a set of specifications and tolerances for those spec. (you can have lowtech midtech and hightech "production" knives) "custom" would refer to knives made completely one at a time from completely unique parts (no parts bins here) (you can have lowtech midtech and hightech "custom" knives) I think a better adjective for this situation would be semicustom. "semicustom" would refer to knives that start with production parts, but are then customized (like CRK UG series of knives), then hand fit and finished (usually to tighter tolerances than production). (you can have lowtech midtech and hightech "semicustom" knives) all this to say you might not be wrong about whether or not the knife is midtech, but you used the term wrong in the context. The only reason I mention this is because I see a lot of YTers misusing that vocab word (and im really bored RN).

The fact that he could probably consider all these as business expenses is hilarious to me
right!?!? i only aspire to be paid to BLOW money and play with toys 🤣😂🤣😂🤣☠️
Just post a video of everything you buy and you could do the same
I'm jealous
Fuck I gotta start a TH-cam channel. Being able to write off all the fun toys as business expenses sounds awesome.
☝️ but did he have to pay for everything?

T Kell knives are amazing, up and coming glad to see people are recognizing this USA family company.
Agreed
For sure. Just got a Raider a month ago and it is awesome! Looking forward to buying more from Tim's lineup.
100% Agreed...T Kell knives are really great American made knives, I have 3 and I'm still looking to get more in the future
I'm saving for a one of the T.Kell Knives
Stoked on the episode. I bet blade show could get kinda overwhelming. That's a lot of ground to cover.
Thanks for the content. I hope everybody in the community is having a good one. 🤙🏾
Awesome to see T Kell knives on this channel! Love the company and all of their products!

The new Ben Banter Knaf has a bunch of folks providing 3D printable scale directions too
Great video, I especially liked the T KELL knives, do you think you could do a more in depth review of each...those are some fine blades and a great company.

My friend and I were standing next to you when you bought the inkosi! Nice meeting you again, the only TH-camr I actually talked to lol.
THOSE SAK SCALES ARE ABSOLUTELY INSANE
I just picked up a Culex from We Knives also, amazing fidget knife.
Great video! So awesome hanging with you at the Show! 👊🏼🔪
Awesome stuff man, was great meeting you.
Great finds and cool to see you didnt just go to all "famous" makers. Also awesome to see your genuine appreciation for the folks who watch and support your channel 👍

DO you just keep adding to your collection or do you sell/get rid of some after a while. IF you pick up this many at every show you must have 100's!
Maaaaaan!! I am so stoked to see ANV knifes in your vids finally! Proud!🇨🇿
Ahhh dude I’ve had my eye on all different kinds of Acta non Verba knives. Just very sleek looking design to them but I don’t know much about Slepner? Schelpner? No idea... lol but yeah I don’t know much about it. An dude... their fixed blades are dope!!!
Those SAK scales are next level.
I really like the T.Kell knives. Fixed blades aren't usually my thing but either of those could make it my thing.
Agreed
The trout scales and the SAK scales were cool.
The backpacker and inyoni will both eventually be in magnacut but Tim said in a crk facebook video that they'll have to burn through some of their surplus s45vn first
Great to see some brands that weren’t on my radar. Thanks…
Thanks good review I appreciate the pricing for everything.
Man I love your videos! You show so many things I want for my EDC or EDC backpack and my category EDC luggage. I will say though that everything is definitely expensive stuff most of the time. No judgment. Big fan keep it going :)
I dig Chris Reeve knives and really like that Backpacker. Nice scores!
Another great video! I started watching you when I was building my edc and came to like your series on building an edc from select stores. Could you do best edc from 5.11 and Duluth trading co.
Thanks !
Epic haul, bro! So much good gear and even better folks behind them.
Way to represent Mr. Westberg on the T-shirt brother! Love my Berg Blades. Yesssssir.
I enjoyed watching your video, Taylor! Especially the part about my German friends! 👍
I picked up the same exact Mac 2 .. Same color and all.. Its suchva great knifw
Can u please make a video about fidget/pocket junk with maybe some budget options thanks that would be great!
I had so much fun. Can’t wait till next year!
The 3D printed Knuck is from Mcnees.
I need that shadow!!! I just went on a tour before blade show and begged lol but they have something very different coming soon!
Congratulations on the new place :)
I'm thinking that little 3D printed knuck is probably from McNees. "Be Nice" is like their main slogan and you bought one of their knives...
Tyler you can buy paracord that glows in the dark and it works pretty good you just kind of have to rub it keep it clean on Amazon keep up the great work you're awesome
You can also get cordage for tents, etc. that have reflective material as a part of the cord from Nite Ize. It's great for not tripping over guy lines on tents. It's a little thinner gauge than paracord, and is green in color. Shines brilliantly under light at night.
I would bet that 3D printed knuck came from McNee’s. “Be Nice” is his slogan
Wonderful video as always. Wish I could have attended but a family emergency was among a laundry list of stuff that got in the way.
What torx screwdriver set do you use when you’re showing the Knafs Co Lander?
Really gonna need to get the Chris Reeves Inyoni...
The Mac2 3.5 is pretty awesome. I think I like my 3 inch better though. They are both awesome but the 3 inch never hurt my thumb lol. That 3.5 took me a while to figure out where to put my thumb on that stud to get it to open.

That thing is awesome.
What a great haul! Thanks!
I have the smaller McKeens I freaking love that knife.
I've been looking for a shuffle fidget for way longer than I can remember, super jealous
I got in on the Kickstarter campaign for the Knafs Lander. It is $64.
Early. Mutiny-Metals is running a sale this weekend btw 🏴☠️
Love the longer videos. But I was wondering can you do a video on getting kids into edc what would be a good start I’m looking to get my 14 year old into edc I was think getting him a nice Swiss Army knife but as he not much of an outdoorsy kid what would be a good one that might inspire him to get out and use it…. Kids these days
When that lander comes out I have to buy one!
31:10 "That's what she said"
The whistle is cool!
Skipped a couple times and accidentally landed on this 31:18
I don’t know what you were talking about Taylor…
'be nice' is McNees slogan
27:19 oh nice, a weed stash compartment!
Wow cool knives bro
If you're looking for ideas for the wazoo belt, I wondered if it's uncomfortable when laying down on your side? 🤔
What wizardry do you have when you can pickup a stick and make a pepper?
One ? What’s the watch your wearing in the video, I love it!
Great taste in knives. I want that backpacker so bad. Trying to find one now lol Just found your channel, I like it. Subbed for sure! Keep the content coming! Also, the room your in is designed so good. What color is the wall? Is that green? It looks sick!
The ak1 is awesome
Great content 👍.. love the preytheon cool pair 💪
I realize this video is 2 years old . And I'm wondering if anybody ever told you that a third is bigger than 1/4? just being a smartass.
I just found your content so I'm watching the old stuff
11:48 What's the brand of yor ID Holder?
That's cool..
Can't believe we didn't bump into each other, had my nose in a camera the whole time though 🤷
I want to see a video on the wazoo belt.
Where’s the footage of TC from SMKW, and Ben Petersen??? 😁. Keep up the strong work!
In the last video lol
Nice knives pal 👍👍
You know you're early when it says uploaded 23 seconds ago!
I find it a little bit funny that nearly all of these products are sold out.
Edc is so much fun.
I realy like alot of the stuff i see, but after i got away from the custom and rare vape stuff i dont get hyped by edc things.
I like the setups you show. But i dont have the time, money or energie to focus on a perfekt for my self.
You kind of have my dream job bro
Tanto combo grind flip point! Lol
Where can I get that WE hat.... That hat is AMAZING!
idk why but during the entirety of this video all i could think about was how badly i want a spyderco native salt lmfao
If you're gonna be carrying more fixies, I should send you a TSK Lizard to try out.
What tool do you use to take apart the knife at @16:24 ish? Looks like a nice piece of kit.
I’m trying to track down a table in the side room. The company made cigar ashtrays out of micarta. I didn’t buy one and regretted it and cant remember their name. Hoping someone here might be able to help. Thanks!
oh damn..that anv m311
First video. New subscriber. Good Job.
The we mini malice looks like the civivi odium
It basically is. Designed by Ferrum Forge, same shape, slightly bigger, different lock.
I remember you from blade hq
What is your take on the SATU by Grayman?
I will probably be yelled at for this but, what's the significance of blade steels?
when will we get a house tour ?!

Insingo Inkosi is the DREAM folder for me! Unfortunately never gonna happen... stupid UK knife laws.
Where can I get one of those Laui fidget cards
What the hell does a dont worry stone do
You must have so much stuff!
I want the scalpel
How do I get one of those sheaths you showed at the end?
No Demko?
