There could never be a Knifeaholic's Anonymous... We'd all gather in rooms and realize that everyone is carrying something and just spend a ton of time sharing and comparing and then leave going, "I must go buy that now..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Austin and I'm a knife addict."
*"HELLO AUSTIN"*
"When I worked at BladeHQ I bought my first Osborne 940 and it all went _downhill from there..._"
You'd never be able to hear the testimonials of your fellow knife addicts at the podium because of the sound of knives opening and closing! 😳
lmfao
sounds fun when we meeting
@@raymonddowling5553
We'll meet at bladehq... everyday
lol
In total the knives rack up roughly to $515.40
Devin Cross
A rick hinderer xm 18.
SUPRISING
third of the way too buying a Stitch then! haha
also thats retail. so depending what the cost price is there is a possibility they could have cost him closer to $300.
Devin Cross ya, to think he could have a high-end knife by now. Like a Chris Reeves or Medford OR Microtech
Using prices (besides the ones stated in the video) from 11/30/16, the total is:
$507.58 for just knives (before tax)
$920.28 for everything (before tax)
Damn you Griffen! XD
-Austin
I've spent that (and more) on a single knife. Which is to say, the hole gets deep, my friend.
But it feels so good.
It is good.
The sickness gets worse. Bought 2 dammy sebenzas, then decided I needed a small 21 insingo...1600$ later...
but he will get probably a massive discount haha
Fun discussion. I'm liking this series.
The Late Boy Scout I love your videos and your such a good person.
Austin has my dream job. But like him my paycheck would go right back to BHQ.
I'd tell them to keep half my check so I could take a couple knives for 'free'.
Welcome to the knife community Austin! 🔪👍
BudgetBugout could u make a video where u compare the three new moras so the eldris, the garberg and the kansbol (if possible before Christmas 😉). And could u go more in the detail when explaining if for u the kansbol is a god knife or if u would step up the game to the garberg!
That d be awesome,
Moritz (germany,15)
Hey Momo, Javier here from Argentina. I don't think BudgetBugout will put up that video in the timeframe that you required, but if you're torn between the Kansbol and the Garberg you might want to check the video that Everydaytacticalvids did on the Mora 2000 vs the Bushcraft.
Think of the Kansbol as an updated version of the 2000 and the Garberg as a stainless batoning apt version of the bushcraft. I would go for the Garberg in my opinion, because of the grind, the Garberg has a complete scandi (which will eventually turn into a microbeveled edge, and I personally love those), whereas the Kansbol has that multi grind that goes from a scandi near the handle to a flat grind towards the tip, which looks great but doesn't function as well when carving wood.
However if what you do mostly is hunting/skinning/cooking and ocassional feathersticks and light batoning (and I mean really light, branches of up to 3 or 4 cm in diameter) I would go for the kansbol; since you got a scandi part near the handle for feathering and the flatter grind near the tip for skinning, you don't need as beefy of a knife and the price is not justified, in my opinion.
Hope it helped. Hope you never get to win another World Cup. Ever. ^^.
Momo 010814 i got the light my fire it's a nice knife but I wouldn't baton it, so you you want to throw it in a bug out bag and only use in extreme conditions go for the garberg or even a flock field knife don't know if you want to carry it or use in sthf . If you use it for hiking small tasks and carving then get something cheaper with a thinner blade I'm pretty happy with the light my fire you don't have to care about using it or the ferro rod because it's cheap and the ferro can be bought single for other hard tasks I use the boker para one which is currently my edc while I'm searching for a fullsized fixed or a nice folder it performs pretty good even without handle. (17,Germany )
I wish I had the money to have a knife addiction lol. Great video guys, you make some of the best.
That needs to be your motivation to make a business... lol no other reason to succeed other than to buy knives.
I was knife ballin until my business got crushed by covid
Austin does not have a problem. I have spent 7000 on mid-tech and customs and I am not a rich man! I just spend every penny I have on knives! do you know of any Knifeaholic's Anonymous meetings I can attend!?
We hold one in our store once a month. Then we sell everyone knives before they leave.
Blade HQ if I even lived in the same state as you guys my wife would be asking me for a divorce after we lost the house! lol
Blade HQ Why is the torq bar like $200
I could work 40hours a week there and spend my whole check on gear if someone didn't watch me
bobby shaw yeah, double edged sword working at a knife dealer as a knife enthusiast.
Recycled Firefighter wallet? Are they made from real firefighters?
Just 2 dollars a day can help these poor fire fighters get the help they need so please donate know
Can you guys do a limited edition benchmade 940
So glad Ben is back. Austin seems like a cool guy. Welcome to the addiction!
Austin is an amateur when it comes to knife buying. That or my knife collecting is more out of control then I thought.
Timothy Nelson same here, this is amateur knife collecting, I have a serious problem compared to this
PkwyDrive13 I was about to say the same thing... I definitely have a real problem though 😂
Timothy Nelson haha I think they said he started collecting in July. He's got a nice collection though !
same here
It's not bad for 5 months worth of collecting and you have to wonder what kind of money he makes.
im going to say in the next 6 At least one OTF and a fixed blade....
Why do all these knives look unused :( This guy is like all internet forums personified
we should get updates as much as possible of his updates
Austin don't feel bad. Many of us have the same problem.
I do
How about a Blade HQ Benchmade? A 940 would be sweet, but I'm guessing it's unlikely, so really any would do.
everyone here has a knife problem
Great video!
Bad thing about the kalashinkov:
"IT'S HEAVY AS SHIT."
shannonandsheila1
Yup, even found a copy of John Coltrane's Blue Train album. On of last century's best.
RIP good music 😩
Love these types of videos, I'd love to see some more.
everyone needs a 940. you'll never want another knife unless it's a 940 series
I second that
I personally think the 940 is to small for my liking, I like something with more weight
Ray Reasons ZT0350 for life.
I feel your pain Austin I have 15 or 16 I lost count it's been weeks since I have bought a knife my skin itches I tried rehab but it didn't work and besides rehab is for quiters o God help me
No lie, I thought 1:00 was an opening to a "My Strange Addiction" episode.
Listen up, if your knife collection fits in a coffee cup then well,,,,, you can finish the saying.... Haahaa! Jk Austin, you're off to a good start!
Time to go custom. Warning ⚠ you will look back at these purchases as the really inexpensive early days and you may never go back!
Great choices so far and at least you probably aren't stuck paying retail like the rest of us! 😁 Great job.
its ok Austin I have the same problem
There is only ONE true knife problem- STORAGE SPACE!!!💯💯
my name is Austin and I also have a knife problem/ addiction😂😂
Austin Sutherland I have over 40 Spydercos , benchmade, zt and Microtechs that I've acquired over the 2 years since I got back into collecting😂😂
Jesus same man my name is Austin and I have the same problem
It's sad when they say Austin has an addiction and then you take a look at your collection and it's like 6 times larger... then I buy another knife and I'm not sad anymore😁
You're in bladeHQ, you've got to love knives and that's a must. I'm so jealous. :p
nice touch with the series. puts a human face to the company
btw Austin is my favorite from bladeHQ, well spoken and not obnoxious at all.
Good thing you don't collect guns. Now that's an expensive hobby/ pastime.
I'm right there with you Austin I just don't happen to work at a knife Place otherwise it would be really really bad. But I have the addiction also can't help it have loved it ever since I was a boy scout.
That thumbnail looks like a nightmare waiting to happen.
He got number 300/500 on the squid. That was the last one to come with the Lucas burnley patch. I missed it by a few. I got 305/500
I had this problem when I worked at a record store. Yes, an actual record store.
This channel is like the Johnny Carson show for knife enthusiasts. Better than watching cat videos I guess.
I did the same thing after starting with benchmade in april.... I bought i think 18 knives)most Benchmades) since. lol
We need another installment of this video
Really enjoying these knife banter videos!
no wonder the torqbars sold out so quickly
Ben, you don't have a 940... Buy a damn 940!!! Even I have one dude, they're so worth every cent man. I'd offer to sell you mine, but only for your first born child, lol
Don't tempt me like that! Some days you can't help but want to sell a 4-year-old! ;) And I definitely need a 940. I'll get there. -Ben
Blade HQ Ben, I don't have a single CRKT knife. If you get a 940 before Christmas, I'll get a Fossil (small) and a nirk tighe and do a review on both of them.
Blade HQ There is no such thing as having to many knifes
Blade HQ imma 10 year old and im looking for a 1st knife
Glad to see you back, Ben! And Austin, you need an "Inspector" from RecycledFirefighter.com for those field notes now...Its the perfect addition to finishing out an already awesome EDC notebook setup :)
Keep up the great work, BHQ! Always fun watching your all's videos.
I feel ya Austin. I must own near 70 now....
He has spent 826 dollars
Recurring series for sure! I dropped $100 just on those jade G-10 skylines on cyber Monday so that I could use one and still have a pretty one to fondle. Welcome to the Knife Knuts Austin! I missed that PM2 from Blade HQ, I was bummed. I LOOOOVE Jade G-10.
I too have a problem, besides watching too many TH-cam videos.... Swiss Army Knifes, especially anything with the Gadsden flag (yellow) knifes. Need to order Bens T Shirt for the wife, a wolf fan, unfortunately saw the shirt after ordering the Skyline in Damascus and the Begleri.
Very nice collection so far Austin it only gets worse my friend!
The morale of this episode is "Never underestimate the power of good Dear Mr. Peterson resume"
Austin, you need to buy some Case knives. You will have a whole other addiction. Traditional knives are so cool! I have over a dozen different Case knives plus numerous Spyderco, Kershaw, CRKT, and Moki (fantastic Japanese knife company who makes all of the Al Mar brand knives).
love these kinds of video guys!!!
940 definitely is a wabi sabi knife
You guys are fun.
Love my Opinel 10. Drilled a lanyard hole and use it in the garden and for other dirty tasks. Pro tip: The acid-forced patina doesn't work on the INOX version because it's... INOX. I get the CARBONE version 'cuz it holds an edge better and you can stick it in an orange.
Ben, it's good to see you back to BHQ - you're better than CRKT (not dinging them, but still...) Nice knife conversation, thanks!
He doesn't have a problem at all compared to a lot of us knife enthusiasts...this whole video of Knives is a week for some of us...
Thanks for the vids guys. Nice to see them. I hope you guys can maybe do some upcoming vids on any of the highly anticipated coming out or even some highly regarded mid techs. I know mid techs are pricey and not feasible for everyone but maybe 1 or 2 hear and there would be cool. Thanks!
Austin if you like traditional knives check out some friction folders
I just ordered a svord
BM 940 carried for 20 years sounds nice BUT how many sets of Omega springs would you have to store in a drawer to in order to keep it working ?
Everyone dont breaks omega springs u either dont know how to use the axis lock of u pull it one hand
if Austin likes hiking then I'd like to see some hiking/gear testing videos. Utah mountains are supposed to be beautiful!
It’s cute and fun and I enjoyed it...but oddly a company that *depends* on collectors as aggressive or even far more aggressive than him seems to treat knife collecting as “wild and zany” in this video. Would be like a casino making a video saying “believe or not some people are in here every week! I saw a guy lose $100 in here the other day!”
What, he buys a new knife every two weeks? Why not every week? ;-)
Austin has excellent taste! I own and love most of those knives. I predict he will soon have a Benchmade Mini Griptillian.
This is Great... Im sitting at my desk with my PM2 940 B&B G10 KWE sorry.. With my Olight s20r and my glock 19 and its always got my 30 round mag in her. I just got the 940 and other then the bevels are a little uneven and the centering is off its not bad I really like it. I really want a SKYLINE and im gonna try to order one asap.
definitely an awesome vid guys. and a happy welcome back Ben. you still rock.
👍☺
damn dude my grandson is buying spears repeatedly i hope it does not develop into a PROBLEM!!! i have on punishment for throwing a javerlin at my husband's co-worker's son........he is onpunsih
Really enjoying the series... have the tenacious, Byrd cara cara 2, buck vantage to name a few. Austin should check out the CRKT swindle since he likes warncliff blades.
4:50 XD
I was the first person to order the brass torqbar Sunday! So excited
I like his excitement. Reminds me of myself when I show off my cool tools
Just imagine a cafeteria fight at bladehq, that would turn into a bloodbath really quick😂😂😂
It's easy to blow money on CRKT knives. They make so many high quality knives from many different designers. Too tempting. Love the M16 14z. and M60 SOTFB tospeak of actual large knives.
Im glad ben is back haha great video i order all my knives from you guys
When I was selling cutlery I could never keep a Benchmade 94X in my pocket for more than a day. Didn't matter how rare the model, how limited the edition, how expensive it was. Within 24 hours someone would ask me, "Well what do YOU carry?" And *poof* my 940 variant would disappear into the new customer's pocket. Once holding it, they had to have it. Purple, blue, red, green, black, serrated/plain, black/plain, the knife vanished and a customer left with a grin from ear to ear. BUY one. You'll love it.
Austin is just getting into the knife addiction. I bought 2 Damascus sebenzas at the same time. My wife opened the box...Ive spent over $5,000 on knives this year from bladehq alone...support groups anyone?!
The way right dude(aka larger dude) looks at left dude(aka smaller dude, and more knowledgeable dude) makes me thinks that larger dude, is gay for smaller dude IMO. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Hahahahahahaha. but seriously tho. You're gay. You know how I know? BC you said it disappeared in your pocket big dude. In all seriousness tho, I do enjoy your knife reviews. Keep up the gay work. Hope I didn't make you feel to uncomfortable. Btw not gay. But your editor makes you both seem like you're both really gay. Which probably means that he is in fact gay. Have a gay day, Gaylord's.
Keep doing these videos
I was like oh wow. It's on sale... when was this video released? Hopefully withing past 2 days...
Oh, just 3 years ago.
Damn you BHQ
Austin ain't got shit, in the last three days I think I've bought $1000 dollars from blade HQ. All knives, mostly folders except for a Mora.
920.28 if bought online more if bought in the site due to tax all that in less than 6 months it truly is a addiction probably more expensive than drugs😂😂 PS: your welcome ben
No need to let the hobby get out of hand. You want to explore the various types. But sell off the ones that don't move you. I own two near identical Boker Kalishnikovs that are my favorite all purpose knife. I have a Spyderco Delica that I like as a utility knife. It's light enough that I carry it the most. It works best when I am wearing lightweight sport shorts. The materials used make for a very durable finish knife that will look good the rest of my life. I have a Benchmade Proper gentlemans folder that I will likely sell off since I don't carry it much. It's really made for a guy who wears a suit to an office. Most recently I bought a Steel Will, Cut-jack flipper knife. I just wanted to aquaint myself with the flipper type. I don't like it better than the automatic knife type.
You think you have a problem lol I started collecting 6 months ago I'm up to 57 knifes I'm down 7500 dollars I can't stop I keep finding ones I have to have it just had delivered today the spyderco roc and the benchmade mini crooked river
Always been a Spyderco fan. Favorite Spyderco is my Paramilitary 2 knife Digi Camo G-10.
Knifaholic's anonyous might be necessary lmao.
Hope everyone at Blade HQ is ready to do a update video coming up soon to see how many more he has added to the collection! Love the videos guys. Watch them as soon as possible then just for fun to get my daily dose of knives (similar to the feeling of crack) while flipping my Griptilian or my Kershaw Launch 4 or Blade HQ exclusive stedemon spinner! The addiction is real 😩
I have a major knife addiction. 200+ knives
I have the same problem lol 40+ knives. Over $2000.
Doesn't seem like much but I'm young and don't see myself stopping
I was one click away from buying a Kalashnikov and then I checked Boyer’s warranty. No warranty or service. Yes, I know it is cheap. But that bothered me
Time to go custom. Warning ⚠ you will look back at these purchases as the really inexpensive early days and you may never go back!
Great choices so far and at least you probably aren't stuck paying retail like the rest of us! 😁 Great job.
They kept saying austin has a problem. I never saw the problem. About 3/4 of the way through the video i realized i had a problem.
Me, my dad, my brother, and my cousin were using an air compressor on a regular plastic fidget spinner. We were smart enough to wear some gloves, but we got carried away and the spinner blew up. One piece hit me just under my eye and im very lucky cause i would have probably went blind in my strong eye. That was the last of fidget spinners for me.
I right there with you. Brothers in addiction bro. I tend to go for the 4" or 3.75" blades for edc. 4" is our CT legal limit for carry not ownership. If I'm going to get a small knife I usually go traditional like a stockman or something. I don't see the point of going smaller on a tactical blade. The sheeple factor isn't even a thought for me. As long as my knife is legal I couldn't care less what people think about it.
I have knife envy for that jade para 2. Although, for me personally I think the para 3 with dlc blade would be more my speed but ooohh those sexy jade scales! 😂
Nothing like a knife problem...
not to bad when u compare it to mountain bikes and accessories, paid 900 4 my baby +3000 grand on after market shimano parts, makes a 940-2 at 160 a great toy,sorry tool (;
Austin. I get you. i have knife problem. My dad just started to give me some leverage when buying knives. I have 14
so he works for free?? or rather in return for knives... lol
Pays tax in knives.
I've got it worse than Austin !!!), 100's of knives,,,, 1000's of dollars. 😧 🔪💗
