I noticed that you own knives named Guardian a lot. No worries I am the Serrated Sir! We should nickname ourselves according to some spec of our knife preferences?
Steven looking at Ben holding that Pelican Case full of his other knives looked like a first time father watching a stranger hold their child. Haha! Great video and collection!
In “Zac Needs a New Knife” he mentioned that there was an interesting story behind the Frost Cutlery Gator Back. I think it would be a cool video idea to bring some older knives and tell some story’s behind them, like bens slipjoint cut, the gator back, etc
A true addict, "... This completed the collection..." We all know, the collection is NEVER complete, there's always one more to acquire. Go rebels... Did Spyderco ever make a star wars addition? If not, they should create a wookie special.
@Eric Ocasio Spyderco is my favorite mnf. (they single handedly have created a life time financial crisis) and they have soooo many knives that's why I was wondering if somewhere in the past (during the early Star War days) if they had done a specific design with Star Wars in mind. I figured one of you guys would probably know.
I’ve had so many knives. I still have a few of my old lower end knives. I still have my griptillian that got me into nice knives. It looks so well used and even with half the screws missing it has no blade slop.
@@ItsKYRO13 so what does that have to do with him returning for a knife banter. They bring TH-camrs on for knife banters. He still has a passion for knives.
First knife i bought with my own money at the age of 16 I'm 50 now it was a Buck 110 still have it till this day. Anyone else remember your first knife and do you still have it
tommy6gun2 my first knife was a 110 and some nameless old school switch blade from a small shop outside Jackson hole. I was about 13 on a camping trip from MN, and could not believe the guy sold me the knives... not too long ago I’m only 26 now. Sadly lost those knives getting into mischief in my younger days.
Steve - you're alive??!!? Another great Knife Banter! Steve has sharpened all of my knifes and each one is not only Bloody sharp, but symmetrical and amazing! Nice collection - still think they should have added 1 or 2 more.... Steve needs a Reate! I am partial to the Valhalla myself. Oh, Karbadize and @WalkerCustoms1911 do some STUNNING work!
I met Steven when I visited the new store the day after you opened. Super chill dude with a lot of knowledge. I too thought he was Austin or at least related to him. I believe he needs a classy gents knife from William Henry.
Steven should have a self customised Opel No 8. That could be a knife banter episode, give No 8's to some of the staff and see what they can come up with modification wise.
Man I want that prototype knife. Great knife banter. Personally, I don't mind watching longer banters. Thanks guys for getting me into knives more. I'm normally a 20-40 dollar knife guy, got a couple higher end knives from you guys. I don't think I can buy a cheap knife anymore, the quality difference is so eye opening.
I carry an Izula everyday. Believe it or not I carry it tip up with the handle running down my right side. It eliminates my gut from getting in the way as I am also a bigger guy. The factory sheath has such good retention that don't worry about it falling out.
Slowly catching up on your videos. Always good fun, I look up every knife on your website during the podcast. My wishlist grows exponentially each time I see your videos. Darn it ;)
Yep i answered my own question watching enough of these videos. U guys are definitely mormon also lol. Love it makes me even happier supporting my brothers
Steven collects knives the way I do. I just go with what pulls me in. Unfortunately, there is no Pelican case I could put all my knives in that I could pick up.
You lucky son of a gun. I have to save for a year to be able to treat myself to a new knife unless I drop one off the Bridge. (Usually my Leatherman) 😥
Speaking of leatherman, I really love my crater c33. It's a really reliable piece I'll probably be seen as cheap for this comment, but I really find myself carying it alot.
Robert Stubblefield I was throwing a cast net around tocatch bait for fishing and I chucked my first quality knife in the middle of a pond ...rip leather man skeletool 😂😭
You guys should do a parody Knives Anonymous meeting. That would be hilarious. My girlfriend asked the other day how many knives I needed. The answer is obvious: just one more ...
1st - Steven your collection is wonderful! I can totally relate 2nd- Is there a standard height/length for short sleeves at BladeHQ??!! 3rd- You need some Benchmade 940 Osborne’s in your collection. 4th- I think I am having a financial crisis & need a Southern Grind SpiderMonkey! p.s. The “struggle” was real
535 titanium scales from rockscale are sweet. I just got some for mine along with some other custom work. Super stoked to see that come out of Steven’s pocket. Nice collection!
I like this guy he has the ZT566 , such a good knife . Elmax blade is unreal , I also de-assisted mine and acid washed my blade . Only thing I did is thin out the edge a little to help it slice more . The washers turn silky smooth after a while and it becomes basically nearly a drop shutting knife . So smooth . Unreal build quality from ZT . It's a tank man. And damn that white microtech is fkin amazing!!!!
Two things: One- There are other options than Empire or Jedi. My Ultratech wears a Mandalorian skull. And B) Steven needs a Spyderco. Probably a PM2. Customization options await!
I have a few Pelican or Apache cases that size full besides a couple more partially full lol. I filled one up since Black Friday lol. I bought a Apache 3800 and went online that night and ordered Nalpak foam cut for 40 knives in that size case, this was 2 days before Thanksgiving. I have filled it and half another case since lol. To many good deals going and to many discontinued Spydercos and Benchmades I wanted this year lol. I have a Berg Blades Iron Pup on the way now from Knifecenter and a CKF Ossum, Kizer Mini Begleiter, and Reate Starboy from BHQ on the way too have a bunch of knives pre ordered on Massdrop waiting on too and I pre ordered a bunch of the Spyderco sprints between a few sites. Just got the Rex45 Shaman from Knifecenter the other day same day my Rike M3 from Massdrop showed up and my GiantMouse GM6 as well all 3 showed up in the mail box that day what a day lol. I can't believe I got that GiantMouse. I forgot about the drop and like 3 days later they posted on FB they still had some left and I jumped on the site and bought one right then lol.
I have been wanting the Boker Mini Kwaiken but Because I live in Canada I cannot get it :( . That brass and micarta is amazing. That is hands down my favorite looking knife I have seen. Canada's knife laws are so dumb.
I actually just deassisted my ZT 0566 just a few minutes ago. The spring went rocketing out into outer space. I expect it will come back to haunt the earth in a few thousand years when it hurls itself back into the atmosphere and destroys all of future mankind. Other than that, I'm really glad I deassisted it.
It didn't void your warranty because if you ever need to send it in all you have to do is disassemble your knife and strip the ano, it's really easy to take ano off.
I carry a fixed knife on The Daily connect knife they're amazing I don't know why you guys don't like him or they're handy is hacked they're always there they seem always right in your hand when you need it
Your correct, you can get great knives for cheap! You can also get good cheap wine, or a budget reliable car. Unfortunately some of us will always have a penchant for the finer things lol

Or a thinner Seth rogan
I noticed that you own knives named Guardian a lot. No worries I am the Serrated Sir! We should nickname ourselves according to some spec of our knife preferences?
They had a clone war!
The black Hinderer is way cool! Steven is missing Spydercos but perhaps too inexpensive for him.
Oh yeah do not c any Two Sun knives?
This man is my spirit animal, "oh man i'm almost out of money" *buys a ZT*
Steven is missing the swiss army knife with the rocket launcher fold-out tool.
Steven looking at Ben holding that Pelican Case full of his other knives looked like a first time father watching a stranger hold their child. Haha! Great video and collection!
"rebels or empire?"
Me and an intellectual: the old republic
He's shamefully missing a Böker Magnum Rainbow Mermaid.
Progapanda you definitely win
IM SURE U ARE TOO LUL
that knife that Ben showed... I used to have one in all black. It was amazing. I wish I never sold it
Karl North Media what was it called?
Protech Newport
The Empire did nothing wrong.
Remember the Death Stars.
#NeverForget #NeverForgive
R.I.P the Death Star. -Steven
In “Zac Needs a New Knife” he mentioned that there was an interesting story behind the Frost Cutlery Gator Back. I think it would be a cool video idea to bring some older knives and tell some story’s behind them, like bens slipjoint cut, the gator back, etc
Frost cutlery? Have gotten several for gifts, but don't carry them because I can't trust them. Do they have any good ones?
Love Steven! Many long conversations in the storefront! So happy to see that I’ve rubbed off on him and he picked up a Chris Reeves!!
A true addict, "... This completed the collection..." We all know, the collection is NEVER complete, there's always one more to acquire. Go rebels... Did Spyderco ever make a star wars addition? If not, they should create a wookie special.

He's definitely missing an apocalyptic green Z-Hunter, it's shameful to call that a collection without one. ;)
Nick Shabazz is rolling on the floor.
I bet he is!
You are correct about Shabaz
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is missing from his collection.
Dustin Fletcher because it’s a boring knife everyone owns.
Stxn what is so awful about it?
Maybe that's because the majority of spydies are about the same.
or para 3
I don’t think collection is the right word if he doesn’t have a PM2
Do this with all of the collections in the office
Is that Lil pump on your profile picture
Louis Maximum post malone
@@HouseofJello STILL MUCH BETTER THAN LIL POOMP
Steven, Whata G! With the common man collection! (MORE PLEASE)
I’ve had so many knives. I still have a few of my old lower end knives. I still have my griptillian that got me into nice knives. It looks so well used and even with half the screws missing it has no blade slop.
Does anybody else wonder when Blade HQ hired an Austin clone?
We miss Austin. We want him back for one episode and we can get a revisit on his collection.
@@charleshainsworth1723 Pretty sure he does marketing for the company that makes bowflex and other fitness stuff so he's way moved on

Mine was a Gerber Paraframe and after I lost my 3rd I gave up on them haha.
Swiss army knife with 5 tools and I lost it about 6 months later while camping. Looked all day and cried myself to sleep. Been hooked on knives since.
First knife when i was 9.
It was a rainbow sheffield, because flashiness. Still got it, and still sharpen it.
Mine was a kershaw shuffle and my dad lost it when I let him borrow it.

Big fan of the Griptilian that first one out of the gate looked fantastic.

VERY NICE, GREAT COLLECTION for sure buddy!👍🤘☝️💪🏻🇺🇸 I Love your whole collection! Thanks for sharing it with us!🤘
Stormtrooper took some battle scars. Makes it look really good. Gives it some flavor.
Manix 2, CPM154/S90V, with peelply CF. Get it! Got it! Carry it! Love it!
Slowly catching up on your videos. Always good fun, I look up every knife on your website during the podcast. My wishlist grows exponentially each time I see your videos. Darn it ;)
I love the custom touches that he has made to his knives
Highlight of my week: the new Knife Banter
Yep i answered my own question watching enough of these videos. U guys are definitely mormon also lol. Love it makes me even happier supporting my brothers
🤦♂️
Wow Really awesome Video's of more new Knifes I love it!!!😍😍😍✌💜💜💜 keep it up with great work (BladeHQ) You're Awesome Guys !!!👍
My god this mans story hit so close to home " I just need to buy ONE really good knife" proceeds to get the most expensive thing I can get.
Steven collects knives the way I do. I just go with what pulls me in. Unfortunately, there is no Pelican case I could put all my knives in that I could pick up.

I use surplus 50 mm ammo cans. They have strong waterproof lid clamps. Cost $10 or less at gun shows.
Spyderco! Something like a pm2
Emerson, Medford 187F, ferrum forge crux, microtech socom elite manual, and a zt 0850
Yall should do an employee purchases video on the top 5 most spent
8:38 just when I thought it could never be done. The impossible has been accomplished.
jrs_ 2000 i thought it was a fixed blade XD
You guys should do a parody Knives Anonymous meeting. That would be hilarious. My girlfriend asked the other day how many knives I needed. The answer is obvious: just one more ...
You guys should do a knife banter based around small knives.
Just TIE fighters. You guys know. That beautiful motor sound.
1st - Steven your collection is wonderful! I can totally relate
2nd- Is there a standard height/length for short sleeves at BladeHQ??!!
3rd- You need some Benchmade 940 Osborne’s in your collection.
4th- I think I am having a financial crisis & need a Southern Grind SpiderMonkey!
p.s. The “struggle” was real
Thumbs up for that Rockscale Bugout. Quickly becoming my new favorite carry!
535 titanium scales from rockscale are sweet. I just got some for mine along with some other custom work. Super stoked to see that come out of Steven’s pocket. Nice collection!
Steven Should be the one doing knife banter. Hes obviously a bigger knife fan
Chandon he aint no cheap sucker
I loved this. A regular guy. Very cool
Sick collection
Southern Grind also did free knife sharpening during Blade Show, great people.
a buck vantage with natural canvas Micarta handle scales and cpm-20cv steel that's what's lurking in my pocket today!
Hey, I was carrying my copper/cf kwaiken today too!
That bugout is SWEET! I'm looking forward to picking one up soon
Currently carrying a Guardian Tactical Recon myself. Great great OTF for sure.
Funny, *struggle* for Ben on that Inkosi, good stuff guys....
I am carrying the Guardian 3 sheepsfoot with 3D carbon fiber scales and the Boker Kwaiken in carbon fiber and copper.
Definitely needs a Spyderco Smock, Amalgam or Drunken. Those are some cool new releases that I think would fit perfectly in the collection.
Everyone needs a knife they made.
The Empire by far.
I like this guy he has the ZT566 , such a good knife . Elmax blade is unreal , I also de-assisted mine and acid washed my blade . Only thing I did is thin out the edge a little to help it slice more .
The washers turn silky smooth after a while and it becomes basically nearly a drop shutting knife . So smooth . Unreal build quality from ZT . It's a tank man.
And damn that white microtech is fkin amazing!!!!
We need a full collection update for his collection
Shots fired @ 9:30! Notify the burn unit!
I love the little Easter eggs they throw in the video
Empire for Life!!!!
Two things: One- There are other options than Empire or Jedi. My Ultratech wears a Mandalorian skull.
And B) Steven needs a Spyderco. Probably a PM2. Customization options await!
A spyderco mantra was literally the second knife in the video...
Empire Vader is just too badass
I have a few Pelican or Apache cases that size full besides a couple more partially full lol. I filled one up since Black Friday lol. I bought a Apache 3800 and went online that night and ordered Nalpak foam cut for 40 knives in that size case, this was 2 days before Thanksgiving. I have filled it and half another case since lol.

Let the empire rule over all!
Would really like to see the rest of his collection. Maybe a mini series for knife banter?
I have the same exact Bugout. Almost the perfect Edc knife now.
Yeah! The Bugout is great, but I knew I had to have some ti scales to customize! Glad you like yours! -Steven
Blade HQ yeah once I got the Bugout I knew it needed either ti, g10 or cf scales. I went with the rockscales because I had $78 in eBay bucks lol.
I’m pretty sure you need a TRM Neutron! Just got mine in the mail and it’s a fantastic EDC. Very customizable so you might like that.
I wouldn't mind seeing a collection update videos
Awesome collection, but definitely missing the “majestic mermaid” knife. Don’t understand a collection without one. 😂
We couldn't agree more! Steven just has awhile to go until his collection is truly next level. :)
Assuming he has a para 2 and 940 he should have/try out a coldsteel recon 1 or broken skull
Espada XL
I love purple anything on a knive
I have been wanting the Boker Mini Kwaiken but Because I live in Canada I cannot get it :( . That brass and micarta is amazing. That is hands down my favorite looking knife I have seen. Canada's knife laws are so dumb.
I actually just deassisted my ZT 0566 just a few minutes ago. The spring went rocketing out into outer space.

You better hope it comes back, with that much velocity you may have just accidentally fired the first shot of an intergalactic war!
Needs a Strider. Man that XM was sweet.
Kind of surprised there wasn't a Pm2 in the collection.
Scott Pigsley I’m sure he has one. But that’s a boring knife that everyone has.
Love your episodes with custom stuff!
I love these collection videos! Steven needs to peer down the black hole of high end balisongs.
+ 1000 points for Kung Fury reference
It didn't void your warranty because if you ever need to send it in all you have to do is disassemble your knife and strip the ano, it's really easy to take ano off.
Financial crisis be like: "damn, I need a Benchmade 940-1 or a north arms Skaha II (in pretty Ben blue of course)"
LOVE my Osbornes
First time I've ever heard anyone like the empire...I never even imagined that was a thing.
I knew it was thing but only for bad people :) -Zac
@@BladeHQ Exactly! Keep an eye on him...
The empire is our only chance for stability, we must drive the rebel dogs out of this system!
that bugout though!
Today I'm carrying a Lionsteel TRE flipper with Ti lock side and black G10 show side
He is missing the Paramilitary 2!
I carry a fixed knife on The Daily connect knife they're amazing I don't know why you guys don't like him or they're handy is hacked they're always there they seem always right in your hand when you need it
I bought the pelican case at my first $200+ knife, which is an early Spyderco Techno.
The keyboard warrior clip from "Kung Fury".. ... priceless!! 😂😂😂
Knifes are tools, good tools are amazing to work with. I edc two fixed blade and two folders, total price less than 100 $
Your correct, you can get great knives for cheap! You can also get good cheap wine, or a budget reliable car. Unfortunately some of us will always have a penchant for the finer things lol
Empire popin rebels droppin. Dark side till I die.
I love the polished edges
Where are any Blade HQ Exclusives that sell out as soon as they are announced.
The real hero is the man that bought him the chive when he was underage. He put the man on a good addiction.
The Kershaw Chive was my first Knife too!! Unfortunately I have not had a financial crisis yet
Now that’s a bug out I would buy
Empire all the way!
That Ultra Tech is sweet!! Empire baby!!
You guys should make a video on how to tie paracord on a kinfe
