NuKnives driver is cool but ABSOLUTE miss not having at minimum the T6/T8 bit, and I agree T10 should be included as well. Great selection today. Thanks Stassa!
Another great video. I feel like I'm missing why so many reviewers are loving the ZT. $360-$450 for what looks like a standard button lock with titanium handle. Is it because they are making something people may actually want? LOL Or just that it is USA?
@@williamsipe1151 I wouldn't describe it as overpay as much as pay to support jobs locally. We haven't invested trillions of $$$ into manufacturing the past 50 years like China and pay much higher wages.
It’s got an attractive simplicity to it and it’s actually ground to cut reasonably well. A good comparison would be something like the quiet carry drift - a rather plain design that’s well executed. It has neutral ergonomics so a lot of people can carry and use it. The USA made part definitely helps. And I think a lot of people miss the glory days of ZT. They haven’t released anything compelling the last couple years.
@@roadracerqx893 I did a short on it with the dremel th-cam.com/users/shortsPJjFHmB7lXY?si=7nrWd9Sv78kaXwET if you have any questions feel free to let me know 🍻
I have been excited about the superhawk. It like the xl sheepdog etc is just a cool big knife. I love the expada xl and that Lil guy will be a good 5th pocket 😂
The Nu Knives driver definitely needs improved thumb studs. I have the utility (several) and theyre slick. Also an upgrade to Wiha bits is almost a must: T6/T8, Phillips/flat, no strong feeling for last one.
@@natehoover5266 it was just me being funny and it made some of my trolls mad so obviously I had to keep doing it. I just don’t like to always be so serious it’s fun to throw a curve ball every once in a while 👌🍻🍻
@Stassa23 oh yeah definitely. Your "peace" ✌️ at the end of every video is awesome. Its my favorite part. Lol. I just didn't know if there was a backstory I missed. Keep having fun brother!
That ZT is high-end steel and components. Nice knife, but i can't get over these knife companies not flush mounting the pocket clips so they're not raised like that. Im sure it costs extra money for them in the milling process but its not like the knife is cheap. Companies should not cut corners like this on high end models or even mid grade knives
The Reel Steels are slick. I dig Ostap Hels designs anyway. I hope you're surviving the snowstorm hitting y'all on the Gulf of Mericuh 🤣🤣 Oligarchy literally changing the name the same day a historic Arctic Blast hits the ENTIRE USA Snow storms in the deep south 🤦🏽♀️ We Native Americans be like:😣
Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Your next breath isn’t guaranteed, and if you die in your sins without being saved you will spend eternity in Hell. Jesus is coming back Soon!!!!. Christ is LORD of lords, KING 👑 of kings, and GOD of gods.
Nuknives change the bits and the thumbstuds! Im not buying anything with those thumbstuds. You'd think with all the knife reviewer complaining about those thumbstuds they would have made the change by now
These companies need to pay attention to its customers, smooth thumb studs? REALLY. What planet are you living on…who is designing knifes and who’s approving them..totally out of touch with customers good luck with that ….get a real knife guy to design knifes not someone who’s had a few flea market knifes and call themselves a designer lol
Great video !! Love the Tuya knives and that Kansept is a beast !! Looking foreward to the reviews and testing. Thanks for sharing !!
Nick, we got about 10" of snow in Lafayette. How'd yall hold up around BR?
@@Seth45Dn we got about the same
I'm in Port Fourchon. Our rescue boat is packed to the gills with snow.
@jbjohnson8609 this about the only time I don't miss working offshore. Yall be safe brother.
@Seth45Dn haha I hear dat. Thanks, brotha! Y'all too!
That screw driver needs torx bits. I'd like to see the review & testing of that big ole Kansept!
Love that ZT. Hope they’re back from the dark place they’ve been for a few years. And the Kershaw is 🔥! Awesome reviews this time….thanks Nick.

Definitely want to see a review of the Orion Knives.
Review the Kershaw kindred. Thanks for the look stassa. Peace.

That's the made in America tax. Some happily overpay to get an American-made product.

@@just9911 I get the comparison, but even that has Vanax and beautiful knurling on the handles. I'm glad there's more out there.
Definitely agree about the bits!
I love that ZT!!!!
Tuya has made some real cool knives lately also that kansept superhawk is crazy i like it hey great video man 👍
The Tuya Anzu is damn tempting, but I gotta go ZT 0044 between these 👌
Snowed out in Houma pretty coolI don't think in forty three years.I've ever seen this much snow in louisiana.
@@CaptChet81 same here, that last one 7 years ago we got 3” and ours measured 9” in our neighborhood and I’m mind blown 🤯🍻🍻
@Stassa23 i'm in the river up here in baton rouge.Right now, still crazy.Seeing the snow covering everything.
That Kershaw looks interesting. Thanks Stassa
I got the red carbon fiber tuya a few months ago and its a fantastic knife. It was good from factory but with skiffs its awesome
For sure needs to be torx bits and i agree wiha if possible
Good favorite! Clean design.
I hope your stay warm bro Baton Rouge is white 😂
@@patrickmccrea3455 yeah it’s just crazy, I was in shorts two days ago 👌🍻🍻
@2:02 Thought it was a tattoo gun. haha...My idea, no stealing it.
I have zero tolerance for those prices 🙃
The Matsey knife by Tuya is really cool. I like that one the best. Shame about the sharpening choil/plunge grind
What do you use to open up the sharpening choil? Does a Dremel work ok? What kind of bit needed to easily get thru the metal?🤔
@@roadracerqx893 I did a short on it with the dremel th-cam.com/users/shortsPJjFHmB7lXY?si=7nrWd9Sv78kaXwET if you have any questions feel free to let me know 🍻
@ ….Awesome, thanks☝️😎
Damn i love that tuya wolf!! Wish i could get it in Canada!!
What were those 3 notches on the Wolf?
@@JimMcPartland I’ll have to go back and look not sure what notches you are referring too
Chapel Hill, really, that’s here in NC 20 minutes from me! I might have to pay their site a visit!
@@bionick4281 let me know if you find out anything about them because I am always curious when they say that the company or brand is from the U.S. 🍻

The Wrath v2 is my favorite, especially with that dlc finish. Just wish the point of the blade came down a little more.
@@jbjohnson8609 same here if it was down to the center of the pivot it would be great 👍
@Stassa23 totally agree!
kindred real nice for the money just got one in mail
Where does the "Pokey, pokey tip" thing come from?

Check out the oknife U1 pro. Folding utility blade with a built-in screwdriver
5 minutes wasted on a screwdriver 😂

A Liner lock on a utility knife? That’s an oxymoron!
Two poky poky😊.
Its 2025...no more "button (stick) locks" please.
Anzu is as boring as it gets. I'll take the Vanguard breaker over that personally.
@@alanr3577 I like the Breaker as well I have one on the way 🍻
