You know what really grinds my gears? My stepdad wont load his ladders into his S-10 that have been just laying on the ground for weeks in my Mom's backyard. I brought it up to him the other day, which was a bad idea on my part, mainly because I interrupted his Busch light drinking time.
I have one of these is the squiggle blade motif and like it very much for similar reasons, its different and I enjoy watching the orbital gears. Great as always man!
You do you AKB! People are here for you more than the reviews. God knows I watched the double dragon review or whatever and I haven’t ever played the game :)
I have a version of the Gearhead. I haven't got any dog shit in it yet cause I almost never carry it. I just like to fidget with it now and then to remind myself that I bought a $150 knife just cause it looks cool and that's ok.
I’m also a Hugh fan of the Hawks. Their steam punk mechanical ⚙️ designs are generally intricate yet very functional! Mantis knives impresses me every day that they still somehow sell knives. This is probably their best model ever made. Admittedly.. I have their balisong/ Karambit in my collection 🤦♂️ I think the only thing I that suffers is the ergos around the index finger… as you mentioned I still appreciate the design and I can dig it! Perfect office knife
The love that Advanced Knife Bro has for Hawk designs warms my heart. Seriously man, when you get down to it, knife collecting and the knife hobby in general is ridiculous but it's great and fun because of the passion people feel about certain knives, and the enjoyment they get from that. And I think you represent that very well. I don't see myself ever owning a gear driven knife, but the face they exist are just cool man! Great video Bro! I probably wouldn't have even known this knife existed without this video and your instagram!
Any collecting is kinda silly. I mean what are you going to do with your collection of kinder-egg-toys? Also, didn't know this knife and now I want one... very expensive in Europe
"I am sure all 40 knives in your practical knife collection are practical." Thank you! Somebody finally said it. I am new to the knife community (because there apparently is such a thing, who knew?) and it amazes me that people will nick pick the silliest stuff. "That knife is over priced because other knives offer blah blah blah...." You are dropping almost $200 on something that will mostly be used to clean out finger nails and open amazon packages. Let's check practicality and value for money at the door. Buy what you like.
I just found your videos. You crack me up man. Just sarcastic brutal honesty. I love it. Nothing about this hobby is practical..... yup. My friends think i'm crazy for spending my money on knives too.
It’s always great to see when a new video has been posted. Your comedic style is great and you have single-handedly almost financially ruined me by getting me into this fantastic hobby. Keep it up man looking forward to the next upload!
that moment when AKB says "I took a loss" and shows 7k views ... id take that, I actually gain a lot of inspiration from your videos for my own channel, keep up the great work your videos are the most entertaining knife content ive seen!
Your beer reviews are great, don't stop doing them! I watch all your videos...you could review Lego models of small forest animals and I'd still watch. My only Hawk knife is the Kershaw Induction. Sure, it's a cheap Kerrrrrshawwww, but it's still pretty awesome and I love it. Never even heard of this Mantis, gonna have to pick one up.
While you’re no Lynn Thompson, both you, and your knife videos…..they…..they complete me. I’m not ashamed to admit it publicly. Lol keep up the good work!
Cool review, appreciate your humour and take on the knife world.... The ring probably is made of steel, something tells me soft aluminum isn't for making gears. Maybe if someone had checked with a magnet, lol, just messing with you. Keep up the solid content, I go to my happy place each time you upload a new video.
It's a cool looking design but I agree with you on the frame lock. With my clumsy ass I'd be cutting myself all the time. Not into Damascus either, but the regular ones look really good too. Might pick one up just for the cool factor, cause my table drawer is really into cool knives.
I'm kind of new to your channel, but I absolutely love your dry sense of humor. Perfectly twisted. As for that knife, are we still doing steampunk things these days? To quote Peter Griffin... Yuck.
I’ve checked out this knife a few times, but haven’t pulled the trigger. After watching this review, I’m still not sure if I’ll get it. I want more beer videos. I have lots of knives, but I’ve had way more beers. I need an influencer as influential as yourself to tell me I’m drinking the right beer. Enough of the right beers and I’ll end up buying a Mantis.
New sub. Been collecting for years and haven't come across something like that. I do have a deadlock and like it a lot. I love this hobby. Thank's for sharing that one. The ad15 is a scorpion lock. You nailed it.
I know it’s all satire but the image of your neighbors watching you kiss your fingertip and patting each of your knives individually and gazing upon them with love…. 😂😂😂
Honeymoon may be over or a barrage of other reasons why....but don't let this stop you from making content. Ready to pop 80k subscribers....life is good....the sillier content the better.....for me, as I also have mental defects with symptoms 😄😄😄
There's something about these that remind of Stormtrooper vehicles on track-tread that ratchet to launch guys on jetpacks.... As opposed to a speeder bike.
Moved to TN 18 yrs ago. Drive by Smoky Mountain Knife works all the time. Can't tell you how many times I hear " Sheee-yit I ain't never give no too hunnert an' fitty for no knife They got knives fer tin bucks at the gas station ". That's OK Skeeter, you an' Billy Bob just move along, go drink a Schlitz and let the men buy the well crafted items. Like this fine Mantis Hawk with the copper folded into the squiggles. Ain't that just nifty ? " ( it certainly will be when I swing by there at 10:30 this morning. )
Admittedly, I'm a knife w**** but not interested in this knife. Your review, however, was a refreshing surprise from the world of knife reviews and I watch the shit outta them. You got my subscription because I enjoyed a review about a knife I'm not personally interested in. That might be a first. And I laughed out loud. Not a first but a surprise. Anyway, pulling for ya. Keep it coming.
Similar design to the old Camilus Lev-r-loc. I always thought a lawyer turned engineer came up with this to skirt the restrictive laws of New York and California. The gears can attract pocket lint, sure, but this thing is too cool to get dirty. Just don't. Nice review.
Bro I like all your videos and I watch everything I see unfortunately though I have my notifications on I don’t see everything you post I never see your view videos unless I’m in a deep dive drunken state playing with my nerves in the middle of the night just spent way too much money on eBay and Amazon or maybe looking at but hole pics on a microtech private page regardless keep it up so there’s no punctuation I’m doing 100 on the highway right now
I love all your videos unconditionally, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro!
Pinning this one!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro at last, my life is complete!
My god, you have a knife with actual user scratches on the blade. I salute you sir.
I am glad you pander to the fans and the random guy out there who hates everything.
You know what really grinds my gears? My stepdad wont load his ladders into his S-10 that have been just laying on the ground for weeks in my Mom's backyard. I brought it up to him the other day, which was a bad idea on my part, mainly because I interrupted his Busch light drinking time.
Your understanding of step dads is next level
my stepdad can out drink your dad!
Finally AKB taking a side in the Gear Wars. The thing people don't realize about the gear wars is they weren't really about the gears at all
I have one of these is the squiggle blade motif and like it very much for similar reasons, its different and I enjoy watching the orbital gears. Great as always man!
You do you AKB! People are here for you more than the reviews. God knows I watched the double dragon review or whatever and I haven’t ever played the game :)
Why have I waited so long to watch this video? Your commentary always makes me smile
Love the every-day comedic delivery! Keep it up!
I have a version of the Gearhead. I haven't got any dog shit in it yet cause I almost never carry it. I just like to fidget with it now and then to remind myself that I bought a $150 knife just cause it looks cool and that's ok.
A knife with so many lubrication and cleaning opportunites, love it ! Thank you for all your reviews.
Always my favorite new video in the feed.
Is he not the best? AKB you need to make full length movies! Pure genius!
I'm sure my 10 year old would love it.
I’m also a Hugh fan of the Hawks. Their steam punk mechanical ⚙️ designs are generally intricate yet very functional! Mantis knives impresses me every day that they still somehow sell knives. This is probably their best model ever made.

Ha ha!
I would watch a CRkT Ritual review 🤓
I really enjoyed the cleaning pad review, I shared it with my Mom, there were a few Mom questions.
The cleaning pad review! Ha ha.
The intro to that video still applies
Lol I see what you mean
Just a fascinating design. I love that it’s a thing. As always you’re pure gold.
The love that Advanced Knife Bro has for Hawk designs warms my heart.

All your videos are winnahs guy! Even watched the whole Subaru review.
It’s always great to see when a new video has been posted. Your comedic style is great and you have single-handedly almost financially ruined me by getting me into this fantastic hobby. Keep it up man looking forward to the next upload!
I thought I was the only one getting dog shit in my knives. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Best knife/beer/watch/social commentary on the tubes. As a gadget-knife, have you seen that Rat Works chain-drive jobber?
Put out anything, and I’m gonna like it!
Thank you for some insights and a morning chuckle, or at least the latter. 😉
This knife would be perfect for a lefty like me.
that moment when AKB says "I took a loss" and shows 7k views ... id take that, I actually gain a lot of inspiration from your videos for my own channel, keep up the great work your videos are the most entertaining knife content ive seen!
I'm just here for the beautiful shots of the stump. I did just order a Gearhead though, damn you!
I did this morning too!
Best knive videos for sure, almost makes me want to go sign up to his patreon.
Your beer reviews are great, don't stop doing them! I watch all your videos...you could review Lego models of small forest animals and I'd still watch. My only Hawk knife is the Kershaw Induction. Sure, it's a cheap Kerrrrrshawwww, but it's still pretty awesome and I love it. Never even heard of this Mantis, gonna have to pick one up.
The lint in my pocket jumped out and clung to the screen at the mere sight of those gears. Looks cool though.
I like it, it's a steampunk knife. I could use some dails tho.
While you’re no Lynn Thompson, both you, and your knife videos…..they…..they complete me. I’m not ashamed to admit it publicly. Lol keep up the good work!
Cool review, appreciate your humour and take on the knife world.... The ring probably is made of steel, something tells me soft aluminum isn't for making gears. Maybe if someone had checked with a magnet, lol, just messing with you. Keep up the solid content, I go to my happy place each time you upload a new video.
Does it need the gears? No. But it’s beautiful.
Woah! That little UTX-70 snuck in the lineup shot. Pumped to hear your thoughts some day in the future!
It's a cool looking design but I agree with you on the frame lock. With my clumsy ass I'd be cutting myself all the time. Not into Damascus either, but the regular ones look really good too. Might pick one up just for the cool factor, cause my table drawer is really into cool knives.
Probably going to get that drop point knife. Looks super cool
Quite interesting! As in your reviewing as well... I dig it! Thank you, J
I think you just talked me into one. It’s the good kind of weird.
TH-cam is getting Missouri Tight on giving me notifications👍but I by God made it back
It’s not my favorite Hawk but it’s my Hawk. It fits in my hand.
This guy gets it.
I don't love your videos unconditionally, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks. Keep up the good work bro!
tiktok finally calmed down on knife stuff. great vid as usual
that opening is sick
Frankly, I'm not into fancy knives, but one has to reckon this one is pretty ingenious.
I'm kind of new to your channel, but I absolutely love your dry sense of humor. Perfectly twisted. As for that knife, are we still doing steampunk things these days? To quote Peter Griffin... Yuck.
Advanced Mental Defect Bro. We love ya man! When are you going to do a giveaway of one of those deadlocks? 😎
Uuhhhh…
@@AdvancedKnifeBro no pressure Bro. Just DM me and I’ll give you a shipping address 😎. I will be awaiting my knife. Thanks in advance/d

More than one video a month? I can't keep up. I think the one beer review I'd watch is . . . Victory Golden Monkey. (o)
New sub. Been collecting for years and haven't come across something like that. I do have a deadlock and like it a lot. I love this hobby. Thank's for sharing that one. The ad15 is a scorpion lock. You nailed it.
All your videos are my 1/2 favorite
Just watch them twice
I know it’s all satire but the image of your neighbors watching you kiss your fingertip and patting each of your knives individually and gazing upon them with love…. 😂😂😂
Thanks Bro. It would make a bro a dull boy if he was always thinking about being practical👍🏻
Love the shirt!! Gavin is in the photo on the listing at PVK as the mannequin xD
Man your humor is………. well humorous 😅 Subscribed!
Just ordered 129 of these!!!
Locking up the market
Thanks for sharing 👍
Love your content man! Keep that shot up.
Yeah I'd say after the 5th or 6th knife bought practical goes out the window. Not to mention the hundredth like most of us own

“There’s nothing about this hobby that’s practical”….gd right.
I love lamp.
"Does a knife need..."- Yes
Do I need? Yes!
Am I the only one who likes the beer reviews more than the knife reviews?
"It doesn't lock, it's dangerous" 🤣
If you decide to sell that Mudd let me know 👍
Always enjoy the reviews.
There's something about these that remind of Stormtrooper vehicles on track-tread that ratchet to launch guys on jetpacks....
As opposed to a speeder bike.
Buy what you like 👍 👌 That was perfectly said...
Dude your humor is incredible LOL
Nice video.
These are very Steam Punk Driven blades & I would even consider a 440c "cheapy" in Tanto, just for you!
That knife was used in the gear wars, By general gear head.
This knife is my lifestyle, yo yo yo.

( it certainly will be when I swing by there at 10:30 this morning. )
Nice Channel
I appreciate your humor
Analized aluminum has its own channel on the hub, or so I hear.
"faux car Bonne fire burr"
love ya man!
I'm scared that my finger skin might be caught up in the gear teeth!!
Admittedly, I'm a knife w**** but not interested in this knife. Your review, however, was a refreshing surprise from the world of knife reviews and I watch the shit outta them. You got my subscription because I enjoyed a review about a knife I'm not personally interested in. That might be a first. And I laughed out loud. Not a first but a surprise. Anyway, pulling for ya. Keep it coming.
2:40 Me literally about to comment the Buck Marksman and then totally getting called out for it was hilarious
Hey! What about the Marksman??
I dont even drink beer but I like your beer videos. Mantis knives look... troublesome though I'm not going to lie
Oh nice nutsac. I have one too
It worked! I'm sorta here.
HI DAD! ily
I've had that knife for a while it's a wall hanger for sure but if I'm being honest, it's a pretty fuckin bad ass wall hanger.
But i love your beer reviews
The analytics show only -11, but it was more like -25. Waa-wah
@@AdvancedKnifeBro sorry to hear that bro. I hope that dosen't stop you from making beer reviews.
You should consider them pro bono work, for the needy
I’m a gross left handed person and I love you. Just wanted to let that me known 😅
I would be very curious to see what kind of knife a watchmaker would come up with.
Similar design to the old Camilus Lev-r-loc. I always thought a lawyer turned engineer came up with this to skirt the restrictive laws of New York and California. The gears can attract pocket lint, sure, but this thing is too cool to get dirty. Just don't. Nice review.
I like me some gears!
A knife absolutely needs gears but I would love to see automatic hydraulic gearbox on knives.
Great vid😁👍👌
Bro I like all your videos and I watch everything I see unfortunately though I have my notifications on I don’t see everything you post I never see your view videos unless I’m in a deep dive drunken state playing with my nerves in the middle of the night just spent way too much money on eBay and Amazon or maybe looking at but hole pics on a microtech private page regardless keep it up so there’s no punctuation I’m doing 100 on the highway right now
I just cannot talk myself into spending $100+ on 440C as cool as the mechanism is.
I have a Mantis....not sure why though.
Can't say I hate it, can't say I want it. Like that chicken liver appetizer at Sakura.
Un petit commentaire pour le référencement 😇
