Tell them Nutnfancy sent ya'
The piranha virus is an amazing, incredibly sharp auto.
everyone thinks switchblades are illegal in California but they aren't. switchblades are LEGAL to have inside of your homr. they are only illegal to carry out in public. possession isn't banned.
Piranha is a high quality American made knife. Top shelf. Buy with confidence
Don't stop doing knife review nutn'!!! I love them and end up watching them multiple times. Big fan here!
ditto!
+cdrwilson Thank you. Message received.
+nutnfancy Show the DNA some love! 1.x ounces!
+nutnfancy ya man i really love the krv's I've prob watched all of them...you do a great job thanks
+cdrwilson Me too!
high praise. I lean Kershaw but I may have to grab this
Still a great & fun vid
I bought the all black Virus, and it is a lot of fun to carry. I actually use it daily to cut print vinyl and tape from boxes. I live in CA, but I care not about the knife laws...
Perfect and super lightweight, the TNP Knife Show continues with another US Made auto: the Virus. It is a smart and elegant EDC choice. -nutn
You should do a Piranha factory visit.
I'd prefer a solid folder like Cold Steel or Spyderco over this cheap and instable looking toy knife... The companies mentioned handle all kind of duties perfectly!
how many piranha knives have you handled?
+David Burke do you know what I use my knives for? I know the purpose, I can tell that it won't stand...
I'll assume that means zero.
Got it.
***** if you want a fixed blade, buy a fixed blade.
(fwiw, anyone who says they cut carpet with a folding pocket knife is either lying or an idiot)
+Paladin Yogi I'm not a Carpenter, but you are right. I need/want a tough lock... Like the triad lock of cs... And I'm only speaking for me, I need something stronger than this auto knife
so early 90's looking
what do you guys think about the piranha toxin?
What a sick knife! Any plans to do an update video on woods blades?
Great to see more reviews for Piranha, good stuff Nutn!
+BirdShot IV Thanks, I love these blades
Well thanks +Nutnfancy I just ordered one in black and orange !!! OSU colors
Nutn your like QVC for dudes. I can't help myself!
I have the Marbled Orange version, AWESOME frickn blade.. Not really a fan of the pocket clip though, wish they would get rid of that second bump in the clip.
I love the slender design. Don't much care for the marbled handle, but I'm betting it would grow on you.
We need more 20+ min knife vids Nutn... Thumbs up if you agree!!
I agree
agree
+TheWestboom Roger that. It comes into play if I do more competitive options.
+nutnfancy just do your old style krvs. go into pou size wieght feel if you dont whats the point of doing them anymore. if your not into it just stop doing them
+TheWestboom agreed
dude I totally bent the crop out of my piranha predator large model in purple... I was pretty bummped... also did the same thing with my large espada... I find that with scrubs the are so lightweight that the knife moves your pocket around a lot and ends up catching on things....
So how do we find out the legality of these in our jurisdiction? Does a CCW permit cover pocket knives?
Only thing I disagree with nutn on is the clip. Yeah grinding off an eighth of an inch from the clip is really what prevents you from scratching a car. 🙄 I mean come on nutn, that's just silly.
My kershaw launch 7 has flew out of my hand u are absolutely correct .
ah jeez - another piranha knife I have to buy--saw the one in the kershaw auto review and bought it-same color and all--and I am not a knife guy or an "orange" guy !
almost all of these paranha knifes are amazing. I haven't wanted a new knife for a while but I might have to get one.
Sound like you were saying prAna Nutn lol
I would love it if it was about 70 price range
Just another thing us Californians can't have, because the state gov says so.
nice looking knives
Problem is the laws regarding auto knifes are so insane in most parts of the US I never carry one. Paramilitary seems to be the best bet for this price range if the auto is an issue.
Pay $40 more and get an Auto Benchmade Adamas. It's big yes, but I have been carrying one at work for over a year now and I don't even notice it anymore
I meant wouldn't of got the Charge
Just purchased the Cold Steel Broken Skull knife of a resent video. Guess....I will be buying this knife next....
+Elliott Coker *recent
+Dr. Rockso yeah...yeah....my iPhone auto correct needs work. Thank you!! Grammar Police.
Elliott Coker Just doing my job ;)
That scale probably has one button to change the stupid ass imperial units to metric. So please show both. thanks
Looks like these don't work for lefties.
Love your knife reviews nutn...I became a Prepper and gear fan because of your show up to 10 knives now dude...contagious! Lol.
+Gilberto Esquivel It only gets worse... over time you'll start to look for any celebration excuse to buy another one! Graduations? Birthdays? Solstice? Just paid off the last knife? Buy another one...then look forward to the next. Knives are an addiction :/ -TD
+nutnfancy hey doodle love your show too! and I didn't think it would get worse...I'm boned!
Awsome!!
Whatever happened to old school Nutnfancy coupon codes, a la BHQ?
I'll have to add it to my wish list.
Now that's over prided for what you get I'm sorry. It may be nice looking but not worth $140
+infamouscoma886 It's funny how the market has changed. Now $140 for an auto is too expensive? That was nothing 5 years ago. I agree there are many great options for much less. I've reviewed an infinity here. But commenters here always bitch about Chinese Made product, support US only (while they type on their Chinese produced Apple computer!), blah blah. Well this is US MADE and it costs what it costs. Embrace. -nutnfancy
yet various versions of it are sold out. if anything it would seem to be underpriced.
Show me how you engrave your name on the knives! Do you do it freehand or do you have someone do it? It looks good.
+woolval Looks like freehand. Good freehand, but you can tell.
Any chance of a Kershaw launch review soon?
he's done at least one of them already

Best auto knives for $22, Ganzo.
Ganzo does now make a Microtech clone for like $50, its on DHGate...but the other stadard autos are way under $30 usually, sometimes under $20...I have 6 Ganzos, they are all solid, though I dont have an auto version....they cant be beat for the price in my opinion...people whine about the designs, but kershaw, spyderco, benchmade, all make stuff in China, and they are not price competitive to Ganzo at the quality levels.... to me they are the best value going, hands down.
I have many knives, the Ganzos are put together better than my Spydercos....and I use my knives bro, dont just look at them in front of the TV.
There is no shame in the game....I get a knife, and keep an extra $150 in the pocket...no corporations have allegiance these days to anyone, all of the knife makers produce in China...I am stacking gear while its cheap, it wont last....I know whats going on Brohemian....trust me. You want to have a sort of sentiment for something that doesnt exist....march right into Bankruptcy for all I care Brotatochip.
Just bought a piranha but went with the DNA for second kind of cool.
I do not understand why people in the edc world are so concerned about weight. I carry a buck 110 and a super tool 300 in leather sheaths on my belt evdry single day and hardly even notice them. These small knives and tools are nice of course but how useful are they compared to there larger counterparts?
Large knives are impractical for someone with a desk job. I'm a designer, why would i need a super tool 300 everyday. The 0560 is eye candy for me but I'd rather carry a Sog Twitch XL rosewood.
Some people carry a lot of gear EDC. If you carry a knife, phone and wallet only then knife weight becomes less important. Add a gun, spare mag, flash light, pepper spray, multi tool and other stuff then suddenly you need lighter gear.
The Indian Reviewer I suppose if one works a desk job they do not need such tools. I am a Boy Scouts of America park ranger and use what I carry several times a day.
dragon166666 I still do not understand the concern about weight. My edc consists of wallet, cellphone, master keys to a Boy Scout camp, Buck 110, St 300, CRKT m21-14, 2x aa led maglite, fossil speedway watch, Colt trooper .357 6in. barrel, and my old buck kalinga.
Maybe 6 pounds of stuff but with a good leather belt and a shoulder harness for the colt it all carries like nothing.
+Charlie Breslow I hear you and yes, as I've represented here for 10 years now, many carry heavy knives. However I never meet them. EVERY gear check I've ever done the guy has either NO knife or something very light and small. So you'll have to accept that's the majority of knife carriers. -nutn
Just bought one
nutnfancy - Any option on the
Piranha Predator as an auto tactical EDC? I want an auto that can serve as emergency defense. Sub $185
That clip is the same as the one on a Sebenza.! Great design!
Is Piranha an American company or do they just make knives in the US?
+Zach Cushing American company
usa produced is great, but that handle still looks like womens jewellry :) ---thx nutn
Yeah buddy that's a sweet looking blade for sure.. Digging it
auto blade gov. overreach is B.S.
I've been eying that forever, gonna have to grab one
Picked one of these up recently based in no small part on your review and it's a great knife. I chose this as my first auto blade and it provides a whole lot of quality and value for the relatively low cost.
$140 bucks for a little dinky knife?
I bet you can break that blade in half with very little effort.
An SCHF36, an SCHF37, or a KaBar. Those are beefy full tang bladed knives.
Bring back the feature length KRVs Nutn! Love what you're doing but miss the old school KRVs. Thanks!
I would like to add another category to this blade: Gentleman's EDC blade. For those of us who wear dress pants 5x days a week or more, you can easily run out of pocket space. Yes, you can clip a Spyderco Military, Benchmade Adamas or a ZT 0560 to ride shotgun on your pocket, but many times, you keep those for the weekend and reach for a smaller blade. This blade fits the bill! I would love to see a Gentleman's tactical/EDC knives review series sometime!
i bought a bodyguard based on your review a while back but it was stolen a little over a year ago, i live in ohio, so therefore my states laws are a little messed up on auto knives, i would just really love to hold one before i go out and drop the money on it...being a kid and all, i don't have all the money in the world to experiment and take the loss...i love auto knives for the cool factor and the practicality, especially in tight situations...since i am not old enough to carry a concealed weapon, i am torn between this and a benchmade "auto" and from what I've seen at gun stores in my area...the benchmade's just never seemed as good as the piranhas, (our stores sell auto knives but they are only available to law enforcement)...I have my ways of getting the knife online and keeping it strictly in my house, I am 19 years old now but you turned me into a gear nut when my parents split in 08 and i was bored and turned to youtube...i blame you for over half of my purchases lol i miss your old table top reviews in that shady looking back room.
I really like the S30 piranha but I'm saving my pennies for an Infidel. HEC FTW.
More KRV's!!!!! Going to buy this knife thanks Nutn keep it up!
Finally some KRWs from you Nutn. Outstanding as always :-) Feature lengh would be better though.
Hey Nutn', I hope the Virus comes with a condom... I need a tissue! Great review, I getting one.
Thanks for getting back to basics with you knife reviews. Get back to your roots!

Glad to see the knife show getting some love , I was starting to think that not much put out by the manufacturer s had you stoked . Like many other tnp' ers , I have made multiple knife purchases over the years from your reviews. Thanks for all that you do
+nutnfancy thanks for the knife reviews sir! I'm newish to blades but I have learned lots bout them from watching your reviews!
been here since the flash 1 review. we are loyal and there is interest believe me. Honestly I could listen to you talk about any product.
that's really nice I really like the color like with my Letherman Charge camo,and if there wasn't a camo version I shouldn't of got the Charge
so I like quality and style
Great vid as always
Both of these knives are awesome. If I can manage to convince myself to buy another blade....
Do miss the KRVs.... Best part of this channel - says me! subject to review lol
I commend you nutnfancy. You're a good at what you do and that's making us out here in the real world informed.
Thank you...
Hey Nutn! Are you gonna be at the NRA meetings this weekend?
Thanks a lot Nutn now I got another must have blade on my list. You've sold me on so many already. I don't regret a single one. Thanks for the work you do!
140$ for a pocket knife ? Are you crazy ? You can get an Opinel for 12$ ...
It's called variety
***** Heureusement, non ...
+Nicolas Mamba And yet they sell by the 100s
$12 for a pocket knife? are you crazy?
you can get a box cutter for $1.
It's less than $200, hell it's less than $150! Looks like it's pretty feature packed for the price.
hey nutn can you review the kershaw shuffle?
Review the Benchmade Arvensis!
Kinda wish this review was longer, more in-depth, showed testing, and showed competitive options. Still a great video.
I'd love if you did a kind of re-review or long version like you did with the paramilitary 2.
Nutn! I have been waiting for this video!
I love it!!! old school krv!!!!
Great review, sure do like the blade shape and speed of deployment.
Could you do a sharpness test with the predator please! Keep up the good work!
Or with any piranha knife thank!
Any knife guys want to explain to a knife noob how this Is legal but switchblades and butterfly knives are banned?
Uneducated politicians and scare tactics as usual? Thanks!
it's the scary factor
Balisongs were banned because when they came to USA and other countries and there was this massive craze where everyone bought them and then (A LOT OF) stupid people tried to "play" with them and cut themselves up, not because it is easy to conceal.
A "switchblade" knife is considered any automatic knife or out the front (otf) knife. Switchblades are not illegal in all states. The best thing to do is check your states knife laws, as well as the local laws. For instance I live in Alabama and I can legally carry any "switchblade" that I please, but California limits the blade length of autos to under a 2" blade. Hope that helped
neither autos (switchblades) nor butterfly knives are banned.
Junk knives bought two both have the same problem pocket clip problems their customer service is crap they told me there is no fix, sho much for lifetime
These knives are junk had two both of them had the clip screws wallow out and piranha would not warranty them told me they seen the problem but had no fix
My piranha is a beast. Flawless and top quality. I'm surprised to read this comment.
