Check out a little something we have been working on: fortwild.com/
We went around Blade Show West in Salt Lake City to find out who had the sharpest knife? If they win the challenge they get $10 if they don't we have a little surprise from Work Sharp Sharpeners! Would it be the Custom Knife Makers? Would it be the EDC Aficionado? Or Would it be Lynn Thompson!!!!!? If you think this looks easy try it at home and tell us how you did in the comments.

Worked no problem with my Higonokami Irogane xD
I can guarantee all mine would pass 👌
You know your knife is sharp when you can cut the flat of the page.
How did I meet Lynn Thompson today, but didn’t meet you? Bummer for me.
@@mbrousseau22 Hey! Small world, neighbor!
Lynn Thompson is the freakin' man. He can EDC what every other knife guy only dreams of. It would be downright weird if he didn't have a Espada XL in his pocket.
"Can I try it with my sword" fucking sent my sides to orbit, what a man.
I met Lynn today and saw that Espada up close! What a character.
Well, at such an event he especially has to live up to his own name. Not that I doubt he doesn't, lol.😅
I was like, “Why does Lynn have a cane? I hope he’s ok.” Obviously it was a sword cane.
I thought the exact same thing🤣
Legend
The fact that Murray Carter’s journeyman was disgusted that people couldn’t simply cut paper had me cracking up. 😂
Lmao Lynn Thompson is a legend for carrying all of that!
Genuinely he does that daily, even for the last decade plus, and carries a couple guns. The man is armed deep.
Lynn Thomson is the epitome of a bad ass, what a legend, that's what you want in a knife maker and designer, someone who isn't afraid to use their stuff and get behind it cheap or expensive
He is a super passionate guy!
that dude was sooo cool! no hesitation, instantly goes "lets try my sword". great guy
Lynn Thompson’s cane sword: effortlessly cuts the paper. Medford: “that’s a brave knife to do some paper cuts with” 😂
lynn thompson was exactly how i imagined he would be lol
Exactly!
4:16 i’m laughing my ass off
@@zacinthewild lynn pulls it out of narnia.
As always, I love Lynn Thompsons passion. That was a nice blade that cut the paper long ways. Super sharp.
what is the name of his first folder ?
Seems like every other knife show on TH-cam that I watch, I always feel like they take forever and I want it to end. With Zac and crew, they always end so quickly and leave me wanting more because the content is so good. Keep it up, guys!
Thanks for watching man! Means a lot🤘
@@zacinthewild good Sir , why are your videos so short , i need more ,More!!😂
DANMIT I WISH I WAS THERE! NOT ONLY COULD I HAVE MET ZAC, HE WOULD HAVE PAID ME
Next time for sure!!!
@@zacinthewild one of these days maybe I could get you on a live. I'd love to have you on
would be a legendary crossover episode for sure
lynn in the wild always is a trip, the man really is just clanking around armed like a knight of old at all times
All times😎
What a fun video!! I must practice with the short blades….all about technique!! Amazing giveaway too!
It was great talking at the show!👊
Yeah, I'd have had no probs with my kitchen knives. I keep them really sharp and I'm forever testing them on the old A4. But I'm not at all confident I'd be able to do it with something I was EDC'ing -- say, a Spyderco PM3? Even if it was really sharp, I'm not sure I'd succeed.
Great seeing you in the video Zach!! Love ya dude!
The guys over at Carter Cutlery are awesome dudes. They make there knifes in a small town in Idaho and they will walk you around their shop and show you the whole process. You should reach out to them and do a video with them sometime.
Ah man, another great video! that Lynn Thompson cameo caught me off guard 😂
He saw us filming and was very kind to jump on and show us some stuff!
@@zacinthewild That cane sword...
Lynn is the man.
👊🤘
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night th-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
I just freaking love the content you guys have been making......throughly entertaining.....
Thanks so much🙏
Great video Zac. Lynn Thompson's cameo was epic. Keep up the great work. 👍
He’s was such a treat!
Lynn looking like a Targaryen, along with that Valerion steel!
GREAT VID! Man ….Lynn is a LEGEND! Thanks Zak.
Thanks for watching!👊
Sharpening is such an art. I have learned so much just by trial and error. Mostly error.
I’m definitely one big error with sharpening but getting better all the time.
Great stuff Zac ! Thanks for the time and effort you put in these videos !
Thank you for tuning in!
This makes me really reconsider how sharp I need to keep my knives. I refuse to take a knife out of the house if it’s not cleanly cutting paper.
Zach’s Stuff, Rocks. I love supporting my local Fam.
Dude is a great guy!
Lol ole dad bringing the heat!!!!!!!
Loved the interactions with event goers! I knew the cane was a sword! Lol Thanks Zac!
Lynn never disappoints🔥
This type of videos are awesome. Hope you'll do more like these, just getting to know what people carry and how much do they take care of their blades is pretty cool.
i tried this at home, surprisingly difficult! new knives was easy to push through, but any knife that was used before needed some finesse. great video
Sharpening is something I really need to learn.
It’s such an important thing that I am such a slacker about. I’m really like liking my Worksharp Precision Adjust. It’s great makes me look way better at sharpening then I am😁
My recommendation: buy an inexpensive but quality knife with a steel that's easy to sharpen and then buy the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener and practice, practice, practice. If you screw up the blade no big deal because, cheap knife!
Thanks!
my advice, another amateur: just buy an Worksharp precision adjust and eventually the upgrade kit. for home; if you are outside, its not suitable. maybe if you are outside with a car or a boat.
Lynn Thompson! What an OG! Best part of the video!
Your channel is wholesome, I like how you appreciate all knives
Another great man on the street thing. You know I love these. Proof that it's not as easy as it looks!
It was such a great place to talk to done awesome knife guys!
Mr. double or nothing giving me goosebumps - love it
Zac that was a super fun idea. Loved it. I use a Work Sharp Precision to sharpen all my knives 🔪 with the addition of 3M lapping films. Mirror finish with a stropping will cut paper all day and split hairs. Great video!
I need to work on mirror finish stuff after I learn how to sharpen well😁. Sounds like an awesome system you have going!
Lynn Thompson is a legend... crazy how sharp that sword is.!
Lynn Thompson is a legend, and you can hear how sharp his knife is !
Didn't know about the worksharp sharpener but have been looking for a good one. Because of this video I'm going to get one now. Thanks!
freaking Awsome!!!! Thanks Zac!
Lol. Just happened across this. Wife gave me a Work Sharp for Christmas and it's the best thing ever. Razor sharp in no time
This was fun. Thanks guys!
Watched this last night What a hoot Love your man in the street videos Thanks
VERY smart video idea. thanks for this!
That Carter Cutlery guy sold me on their stuff
The guy with the Medford Praetorian Auto gave me a chuckle when you said “that’s a brave knife to do cuts with” 😂😂😂.
I’ve owned a few Medfords and yeah…they don’t cut paper very good. My buddy who sharpens knives had to reprofile each of them as they have an almost “battle axe” (wide and rough cutting profile) type of cutting profile.
If I ever bump into you, I’m using my Rockstead 😎👍🏽.
Imagine if Lynn Thompson failed the test... I mean, that's the whole business he's indirectly betting on lol. He didn't disappoint me at all. Speaking of which, I used his CS Leatherneck to remove and break down some old plywood sheets for my home renovation as well. It's a really convenient tool for the job, and the edge is still sharp as if nothing happened. Good stuff!
Oh man I loved this one Zac! Thank u! I tried the test with the knifes I had on me while I watched. Pena Lannys clip, Southern Grind Bad Monkey, Victorinox Tinker and Case Copperhead all passed the test, Gerber Dime did not lol but I carry it for the pliers 😉
I found myself wanting to be there to show off the hair whittling edge of my Native 5 LW. 😂 Keep up the good work Zac.
I’ve been eyeing that Worksharp Ken Onion edition, I really want one of their sets. I own at least 15 knives now, a lot of which is thanks to you, Zac, lol. Glad you’re doing well, sir!
Ben loves the power sharpeners. I’ve been really digging the Precision Adjust Pro. Hope you’re enjoying the blades😁
Another fun premise!
Lynn Thompson is a legend loving the content
That forged in American is sic!!!! 👌🏻
Going to sharpen my knives now, thanks.
Lynn Thompson!!
Great video ++
Loved this video too, great idea for a blade show crowd.
Hey! My family and I are in the BG talking to ben at the end! haha how cool. Great vid, Zac!
Some of those guys have really sharp knifes that won! Lynn Thompson always carries a lot of knifes on him! You don’t want to mess with him! Cool video Zac!
This one was a ton of fun!
Nice to meet you at Blade Show Friday.
Always enjoy your enthusiasm 👍
Meeting everyone was awesome!👊
OCD for EDC!! Good to see u two
Loved this video, very creative. Nice job Zac!
Thanks so much!
That was interesting, well done.
this is hands down the best EDC channel kudos zac
Thanks man! Means a lot🤘
Lol Ben just casually in the background at his Knafs both at the end.
Brilliant idea for this video. I'm loving your content, guys!
Thanks man!
Great one again. You guys enjoy blade show west!!
It’s been a blast. Tons of great people🤘
This was a fun one. The dude at the end just showing off lol
lynn is my blade hero. i hope he lives long and happy
Good thing I usually have my two-sided Fällkniven CC4 ceramic stone in the leather pouch near me, to touch up on my most frequently used knives regulary. 😅
I usually have them at least paper cutting sharp, and I also learned to cut a little differently depending on which knive I am using. 🤓
Wish y'all were in my neck of the woods in Texas. Love the videos keep up the great work
LOVE LOVE LOVE that blade talon has
Should make a channel just doing this all the time
Molly and Justin in the house
🤘🤘
Lynn Thompson the man 🤜💪✊he the reason I bought the cold steel espada XL
You seem like just a genuinely nice dude. That's neat.
This was a fun video! I lived my whole life for someone to ask me how sharp my knife is hahaha that’s cool.
Zac, awesome to meet you a blade show west! Love the videos!
Glad we got to chat!
Extremely fun video!!
It was a blast talking to everyone too!
No way you find him and he performce like that. What a legend Thompson is!
Loved the video keep up the good work man
Lynn Thompson is a BEAST!
3:50 Lynn Thompson is awesome, even does his sword :)
Lynn Thompson steal the show 😂
I need to go to a show, but good works guys I enjoyed this, definitely wanted to se more lol.
Zach’s stuff is good stuff. Been a subscriber for years
Clever content idea. Good job.
I just try to think about what would be the most fun💪😁
What an awesome pocket check
More like an edge check😎💪
Great video man thank you 🙏🏼
Cool video Zac!
It was great meeting you yesterday! Love the video!
Great meeting!
This was the best challenge and it was hilarious.
So much fun to shoot and talk with everyone too!
the Espada XL with Blue scales is very nice
Zach the man in a Zac video. Love it! Guess there comes the next give away.👍
Zach is the man!
Great videos and always fun stuff you make.... I'm a fan from philippines.
Simultaneously the best and worst free advertising for a knife maker🤣
Of course the Carter Cutlery people can do it. "Scary sharp" is Murray's thing!
You'd sure hope someone that sold a sharpening course could make a sharp knife.. and by god they can. And now it's available for free on his channel
I did not know who Lynn Thomson looked like till now he was in front of me and my son in law waiting in line to go the blade show west anyway A knife enthusiast came up and started talking to him the y seemed to know each other he pulls a 15” knife out of a roll and swallowed it in front of us we were in total shock it was worth the $20 to get in
Yeah, @Zach’s Stuff is amazing. Really great guy, great video too guys!!
Really great dude!
Yessss👊🏼💪🏼 it really is about technique…I’ve learned that over the years..still have trouble sometimes
Same!
I mean, all the technique in the world isn't going to make a dull knife cut paper, but I see what you are saying.
was wearing my medford thorn and carrying my medford micro praetorian t. 3v drop point.
4:28 i thought that big ol knife was huge, and then my bro pulled out a sword💀 "lets try my sword" he said. absolute mad lad
Never been sold on a worksharp sharpener. Always been able to rely on the tri-stone to get er done.
