Thumbs up if you're watching in 2020...
Blade HQ let’s be real we are going to be watching way past 2020
But...it’s 2019 now!?!also can u send me the ESEE 6?😂
Blade HQ 👍 I'll be watching till I'm 6 feet under.
How do I send you my shipping information for the GAW I just won? I'm still in shock lol. Thanks a lot brothers! Very appreciative.

Blade HQ my eyes aren’t that good
Sometimes I carry a self defence stapler, it takes practice but I can smack 6 staples in your head before you can finish yelling WTF and I'm gone !
This comment is amazing. Where are all the likes??? I give you 10 👍🏼
I agree; i have the patch! 😁 "from my cold dead hands" with the red stapler from the office.
LOL that would for sure make some one stop what they were trying real damn fast that would seriously hurt like hell it would hurt like a lego in the heal ....Thumbs up if you ever stepped on a lego block cause you know what i mean lol :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣this made my day
Lmfao
"If you're watching this in the year 2020, perhaps." Whoa, Ben saw into my FUTURE.
How bout 2021

By far the biggest pro for a neck knife is when your sitting especially in the car its right there, no fiddling around lifted a butt cheek to get to your pocket... :)
cutlerylover hi cutlery lover
@@CalebMcFadden hey :)
cutlerylover just got one (crkt minimalist) and i love it
Agree , and ever since i started wearing one i can not imagine not wearing it, its just so convenient
but all the cons of carrying a neck knife can be negated with the legendary VAN GOH CARRY
i’ve never realized how much of a “hobby” learning about and buying knives could be. my poor wallet #rip
Your not alone brother
It’s just cool that’s these things have detail and use too
@@CrashCarson14 keep calm and keep consuming and don’t ask questions
the instinct to collect and to some extent, hoard, probably evolved through natural selection. those who had a compulsion to surplus equipment and food, equipment being vital to the procurement of the latter, survived and reproduced. today, many people gave adapted to the big city environment where everything is provided for them, and have lost this instinct for the most part.
I love how when you're talking about prices, you say "if you're watching this in the year.... 2020 perhaps," as if that was forever away and here I am watching it in 2021.
The sheath for my neck knife is my neck. I just stab it into my neck.
Same
Same
My anus preforms well enough for a sheath, don’t need to make another hole
@ I swear this is on urban dictionary somewhere
I go with get method too. The neck keeps the blade well lubricated
Neck knife are useful when you're sitting, like in A car, A canoe or A Kayak
That's right. In a kayak having stuff on your chest is real helpful.
Or in a gas station, liquor stor, etc
Or wheelchair
Or poopin
@@Skedge 🔪 💩
I prefer nipple ring knives for jogging
.......me too, wanna get weird together?
Lol
If only I had seen this post before I lost both of my nipples in a neck knife jogging incident.
Esee needs to make one
@Kevin Olschesky yikes
When he said 2020 perhaps I was rattled
This actually opened up my eyes to a lot more ways to carry a neck knife.
I've been carrying a lot of EDC neck knives, and over time, I've grown a few preferences to carrying neck knives.
I've found:
-If you're running, get e knife with a longer lanyard (down by your stomach), so that it's not as obvious.
-Parachord is better than beads (especially for running and walking), unless you live in a hot area, in which it starts to smell bad (I sweat a lot, and I have a specific color of neck knife, and not a color of Paracord to match it.
-You need a happy middle ground between low carry and high carry. If it's too low, it'll get caught on tables, and if it's too high, it's too obvious.
Also, Zac, the bullet ant is known to be the most painful bite in the insect kingdom, and is comparable to getting shot.
Hi men, it seems u know a lot about this type of knives. In your opinion, is the crkt minimalist a good neck knife or it is too uncomforable?
@@albaeivanp7493Garbage! Neck knives are mkre kf a inconvenience and a waste of money. An edc clip folder KS far superior in everyday. A neck knife is for military and an extra hiding place, zero convenience at all, the sheaths actually do wear out, then a knife falls down your shirt, they are tk small for a good grip for more then a few seconds, great if your tied up or in a hostage situation, for everything else straight bull sh1t
Worn a neck knife for over 15 years. Type of work I do (construction and renovation) I would use it at least twice a day on the job. Also use another 1 or 2 days on everyday tasks (opening boxes, flipping lid on my beer bottle, etc). I lost so many pocket knives I decided to change to a neck knife - never looked back! For me brand not important as long as it is discrete, robust and holds a good edge. I have the same one for at least 5 years now and still going strong, despite a lot of abuse and sometimes using it as an incorrect tool - it's just always handy!
Proud owner of 3 neck knives...none of which I hang on my neck. Belt carry, but love them for their size. Thanks for sharing.
Same here, I carry my Esee Stainless Steel Izula with black G-10 handles on my hip.
Mine hangs from the turn signal in my car.
@@joenippynapolitan2907 That is a great idea.
*Van Gogh carry...*
YEAH
now a thing
Yup...
Dafoodmaster

Mm
Love it! 😂😂😂
I may not always have a pocket, but I've always got a neck. Hopefully.
"Van Gogh carry"
I lost it 🤣
This is my favorite part of the week. Thank you for free content!
Don't change how you do these videos, I crack up everytime you play the clip of the dude just saying "whaaaaat"
Thanks for all the great content!
Phillip Kaplan Absolutely agree with you.
I've had my CRKT Minimalist Drop Point for almost three years, and I almost always have it with me. Amazing how handy this little blade is.
does it being in a shit steel like 5cr15 not bother you?
@@acid6urns I mean it’s a cheap steel on the lower end of things, but calling it shit is a matter of perspective. It’s a 30ish dollar knife that’s handy to pull out when you need a sharp piece of metal. It’s not like your betting your survival on a 2 inch knife. Why would you build a 2 inch letter opener out of some super steel?
@@ViewingCasually i didn’t say super steel. i said 5cr is shit. it’s literally worse than 440a. they use 8cr on other minimalist at the exact same price which is an objective upgrade in every way and there’s no reason to NOT use something like that or 12c27.
I love that Spyderco ARC! I have been carrying the Cold Steel Mini Tac Tanto for the past 3 months. It's great!
I'm glad Zac's been on knife banter recently. I like the energy he brings, and he seems more relaxed on camera now. Plus he seems like the type of nerd I am, and I am anxiously awaiting the results of that diy micarta >_>
Natalie has a crush! Natalie has a crush!
Natalie M Ii
Your just hot dog hungry
He has Some Fishy White crusty stains on his Beanie hehe
Zac the type of guy to button the top button on his flannel shirt.
Tiny Supreme Yeah...kinda wondered about that. Hipster stuff or I'm just so square I don't get in.(entirely possible). I just don't get the style. It's kinda like the trend of wearing t-shirts under polo shirts...I don't get it at all. Open to any comments that might bring my neanderthal a#& into the current sensibilities...
i can't button the top button on any of my shirts, my neck is too fat...
My name is also Zac(h) and I do it as well. Maybe it's just a Zach (Zac, Zack, Zak) thing.
Tom Brooks you can tell this isn't the case. if this guy has tats it's upper arm all day long
Tom Brooks I'm only trolling, I have no clue what zachs body looks like lol. I'm just teasing saying Zach isn't cool enough for neck/forearm tats
I love this series, you guys are pretty fun to listen to
Super enjoyable, keep it up
PS : I love who is editing these videos (great sense of humor)
Recent Viewer. I love the energy on The Man of the Left (Ben?) has. LUL. Yall both seem like goofs, so thats what keeps me coming back to view more Knife Banter. Thanks for the shows.
I love the guy on the left AND feel like we could be best friends! I ALSO love the little edits, they make the videos unique and humorous.
Over the top and cringe worthy are why I watch Knife Banter. Keep it going.
I just found your channel and I love you guys...great humor! I love my neck knives and although they are not my primary cutting tools they do have multi uses. The fact that I have a neck knife readily available is (psychologically) comforting in the woods. Quick deployment. Visible. Strangely, other hikers step to one side of the trail when they see me coming; it could be the military tactical look with the neck knife :) My favorite neck knife is a Mora Companion conversion with a 4" ferro rod (or a Bic) attached with industrial Velcro. Total weight is 4.8oz including a 40" 550 hanger. I sawed off the sheath belt loop and smoothed the edges with sandpaper. In my backpacking trips around the world I never lost a neck knife. I've lost four pocket folders either by confiscation or just misplacement. The confiscation was at an airport when I forgot to put it in my checked luggage...my most favorite Spyderco, too. Yeah, it sucks to run with a neck knife but a sliver of duct tape will resolve the problem...that is if you don't have chest hair:)
Same in here, Top Gear for knifes
I bought the crkt minimalist drop point a while ago before I’ve even seen this video and I love it. It’s great for edc, everyday use, boxes, mail, ropes etc. it would be great for personal defense too in my opinion. Y’all really undersold/undermined it(granted y’all had the tanto blade but still). Good video.
Been waiting my whole life for this video
Matt Lowe 🤠🔪🤠🔪🤠
The guy with the 40 lb pack wants a neck knife that's 1/2 oz lighter.
Kemp English oz stack up fast when you are backpacking
You were clearly never in the military. Ounces = Pounds!!
An ounce in the morning turns into a pound in the afternoon
1 ounce of prevention = 1 pound of cure
@@nativedave I was in the military (Infantry) for 30 years and do agree that 1/2 oz. reduction in total weight means noting when you are humping a 40 pound ruck, two full one quart canteens, rifle, 200+ rounds of ammo, and two grenades,
You guys are the best over the top duo I've ever seen. Please Don't stop
Benchmade Phaeton. In the military and I carry it everywhere i go. I love the action...extremely addicting. Love yalls content. Keep it up!
Being as I ran...for years, with dog tags on; I would suggest that while running, put the "decorative" neckwear BEHIND you. I believe you'll find it much more "friendly". IF there is any discomfort...it's all behind you!
Ya, right where you CAN'T reach it. 😒 At least with discomfort in the front you can reach it & adjust it. Nothing worse than trying to fix what you can't even reach. Plus it looks weird & suspicious doing that.
you could also make the chain/cord longer and shoulder it under one arm : >
@@HelloHello-hk4sx Just but it between 2 pieces of clothing, lol.
Thanks for the free entertainment! I appreciate the hard work. P.s.- regarding your jog....always carry. You never know. Bad things happen everywhere regardless of the neighborhood type. Look forward to more vids!!!
Tbh I carry big knives everywhere, but in a fight I would use my fists.
okay so here's the funny thing I love your website cuz it's extremely well done and very informative I love your crew I wish I could come work with you I'm a former Marine and I'm a bush crafter I can't always relate to the usages of your knife or the perspectives but I just love watching you guys you are awesome such a likable video every single time thank you for your work.
Just found your channel and absolutely love the videos! Keep up the great work! 👍🏽
The funny thing is, I only ever use a neck knife when I'm naked.
Uhm
Me too I wear my Stainless steel Esee Izula when I'm Naked and Afraid.
Naked and definetly armed
I would be too paranoid the seats would fall off and shave my belly hair/if the chain or leather is too long cutting other things... BUT I wouldn't mind wearing it with proper clothing.
Sounds like a segway to a cheap circumcision
Zac is always prepared with a bottle of Cholula on desk. I can relate.
I just found this channel five minutes ago and I'm already subscribed!
I actually purchased the CRKT Minimalist Tonto about a year ago or so. I ended up after about a week taking off the neck strap and attached it to my belt with the provided attachment. I'm right handed and attached it cross draw at the left front of my belt. I have a really nice pocket knife but have found that I now go for this one quite often for many if not all of the smaller tasks. Actually it probably gets more use than my pocket knife. Funny, I bought a neck knife and ended up with it on my belt. Great video guys!
Wow!!! I can't believe I won!! Thanks a million and Happy New Year to you all.
Please let me know how to contact you for shipping.
If I were to purchase an OTF knife, I would purchase a Benchmade 4600 Phaeton. Benchmade products always seem to be reliable, and a "cut" above the rest.
Congrats man
I think blade hq should have a knife making challenge. Take two members and put them against each other. They have one week to make a knife, then they have their knives voted on by us the viewers to see who wins. Voting will be based off of size and usefulness.
Or... You could get four people and have them make a knife from scratch. Then submit them to a panel of judges. Man! I bet a show like that would take off.
joe gercken have fans make and send in knives. Blade hq judges them, and the winner gets a knife. Your idea of better though.
i would actually be very interested in seeing this happen. even if they made them out of wood to keep it easier/cheaper
I really liked the condor bushnecker and the cold steel Push blade. Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work.
I am a strange man (except here of course), I edc a spyderco aqua salt, and crkt m16 tanto, and a spyderco tasman salt 2 on a chain for a neck knife everyday at work for about a month now. I love you guys, this is a very informative youtube channel. Keep up the good work!!!!
I love the two I own. I'm a Police Officer so I like having defensive weapons i can get to with my off hand while retaining my firearm with my strong hand should someone attempt to keep me from going home or living in general. The neck knives I use are the Essee-Kbar becker-necker and the Black Jack neck knife.
R Sjr so you'd fight someone on duty with a knife ?
mick bott I hope he would. I’d rather see some idiot trying to fight a cop get stabbed by the cop then the other way around so. Yeah.
Dion St. Michael looks like somebody failed the police entry test. Get good loser.
Dion St. Michael fuck off go give your grandchildren some attention
@@outcast4389 ABSOLUTELY...If some turd was fighting me for my firearm and i was busy locking it down to retain it having an option with my off hand like a knife or another firearm would work well to save my life. As to training I have training while in the military often and training in knife for Patrol. So, yeah....
I'm really into super minimal for neck knives. I've got one of those little TDI knives, but my favorite is the Buck Hartsook. It's just a little sliver of S30V but it does everything I need a neck knife to do.
Another awesome video as always, just created a account on blade hq, love keeping updated on new knife releases and prices that beat amazon, keep up the good work!
I love my minimalist cleaver! It's one of my go to knives. I usually carry it cross draw on the belt and it's nice and out of the way. The finger choils make it feel very secure in the hand and works very well for shaving too lol pinch the front groove with the thumb and pointer finger and you have quite a lot of control.
could you do a knife banter on scout carry?
and here i thought they were for neck knifing
What are you doing here?!
@@skippygirl959 i have made some knives etc
Of all the TH-cam content I watch, hearing the Guy On The Left launch into "what I-I-iiiiis up guys.." brings a smile to my dial like no other. When that little bell shows me there's new content on TH-cam from Blade HQ, I know I'm in for another well made, intelligent (free!) info bite from Utah. You keep making them, and we'll keep watchin' em. Beyond 2020. :) Love your work, Team Blade HQ.
This is either the 2nd or 3rd video that I watched love you all. I have to admit I like it I dig it worth my thumbs up and subscribe.
40 pound back pack! Please look into ultra light back packing. You'll love it.
For an overnighter dude went heavier than my bugout bag...
“1 is none, 2 is one...”
3 is fun
But if 2 is 1 and 1 is none, that means that even carrying 2 puts you right back to none, right?
@@dirtysouthbushcraftandmma9784 .....holy shit your right. Only solution is 3. 3 and your done
I have the minimalist clip point... LOVE it! I have carried & USED neck knives extensively. I have used all sorts. I got good with one handed return to case too... I could the tip in the catch the sheath & hook my thumb on the sheath. I have used them them in lots of different situations...& jobs... once you get used to it...it is really handy
Around a year ago I got one of those cheapo Lightning OTF's just to play with. Liked it so much I just bought a Microtech UTX-85. Black handled single edge with bronzed hardware and a bronzed blade. Far and away the most expensive knife I've owned but man is it gorgeous.
If running with a neck knife is bad, man the poor girls. Lol

wtf, naw. Thats a real life problem, Weird ass. Elijah Fuck outa here
sports bra dawg, its not that bad
HerosMuse Sports bras aren't enough. Doubling them up and wearing super tight tanks tends to help a bit more.
Ironically the Sypderco was actually made for soldiers who were getting assaulted in the shower overseas
@Weyland Yutani Yes. If you get assaulted in the shower underseas you're shit out of luck.
I got a dirt cheap MTech neck knife when I was in highschool. I was a cook at a fast food joint and I loved wearing that thing. I could pull it out and use it real quick for opening bags/boxes and stuff. For me it was just as quick as a pocket knife and it was practical at the time. I like the security of a fixed blade as well. I don't know if these days I would use it enough for it to be worth it. I carry a Leatherman Wingman daily anyway. Nice video, I haven't watched the channel in well over a year but it's nice to be back.
Microtech ultra tech is my favorite OTF knife. Great videos keep them coming guys!
I used to Carry the Cold Steel Spike Tokyo, almost gutted myself....
What are y'all guys doin'?
Urban bushcraft or lumbersexual
😶😉😂😎
Forget that guy and his words... These clips are great and I'm hooked. Looking forward to the next one
My new favorite channel! I carry a beautiful Murray Carter necker everyday along with an Emerson Super Karambit as my edc. Karambit is strictly for self defense and cool factor since I can’t seem to sharpen Emerson blades lol.
I’ve been carrying a neck knife everyday (or most days at least) for at least 6 years or so. I’ve used and like my crkt minimalist, Emerson LaGriffe, and Alpha Knives Baghdad Boxcutter (nice Damon Lusky custom, but way to heavy for a neck knife, but I carried it that way for a solid year until I got the Carter).
Do a video on bayonet carry!
Haha
I wear a Junglas with a dangler from my pierced ear.
I watched this video and it made me try out my neck knife. I like having the option and I'm glad I brushed the dust off that crkt.
Great video guys! Appreciate the feature at the beginning. Killer content!
I'm a natural klutz and I've always figured I would trip over a damn rock, branch, hole or whatever and next thing I know I have my brand new " necker" stickin outta my jugular.
yeah something about having a knife around my heart/neck area just doesn't sit right with me..
That’s awesome !!
concealed or open van goh?
Always open.
Too soon.
I have a CRKT spew just bought it and i already love it
Awesome stuff!! Nice to see your designer, Josh is a traveling man...he'll know what I mean by that.
Memes are spicy as heck doggo and my favorite otf is the microtech boba fett large
Ben:carries a 40lbs backpack for n overnight "backpacking" trip hahahhaa. Bit much bro?
Great video, guys! Very entertaining.
I carry the Ruko Neck & Boot knife. I bought this knife probably over 10 years ago and I thought it was one of the worst purchases ever because I could never find a use for it. I lost the clip, the chain broke so it was just a knife and a sheath. But I made an adjustable Paracord necklace for it and it's actually very comfortable. I even wear it when I sleep. You guys brought up a very good point, I rarely use it because my muscle memory doesn't go to "neck" when I think "knife." But the SECURITY, knowing you have a blade on you (or another blade) is such a big relief.
The boss won't pay for heating ? What's with the beanie ? ;)
David Anderson probably a balding diversion strategy
Lmaooo yes
I sleep with my knifes lol

Like your whole collection, or just whatever you were carrying that day? 😅
@@joshglover2370 whole thing. and it's not a small collection
@@FPSNovaS Nice! 😀👌
Great video. Like always. I just started wearing a neck knife about 2 months ago 2020. Most would think it's a little big for a neck knife an esee Xancudo in s35vn. With a 3 in blade and about 4 in handle. I used to think neck knives were silly but boy was I wrong. I use it all the time. I still carry my benchmade barrage and leatherman but you can't have too many tools on you. I have been looking at that spyderco arc.
Just watched Feb 2020!!
Love the CRKT minimalist.
You guys forgot the tops mini scandi neck knife
Best reason for wearing a neck knife is. Just in case, the lower half of your body and fixed blade gets consumed by a shark. You still have a way to defend the upper half of your body! And possibly retrieve what was taken ! )
Another reason to wear a neck knife is that if you have bee's attacking the bottom half of your body, you can grab a knife from your neck area and fend them off
I purchased a small clear kydex neck knife sheath for my UTX 70 from you guys and finally have a knife I don't mind hanging around my grape. I agree that weight is the primary determining factor when it comes to neck knives, so I made a simple paracord neck lanyard and find this to be the perfect combo for me. Zac & Ben....try this set up for one full week and do an update video. I believe that one of you will change your minds. I wear mine outside of my shirt because of the knifes size, most people think its a flashlight; this really amuses me of course.
Dude! I'm stoked for next week.
13:46, hey, It's 2020, gonna check the price

i dont trust folding knifes after the lock failed an nere cut my thumb off
badwolf you should use a spork
Fixed blades are highly Dependable' I always have My Esee Stainless Steel Izula with black G-10 handles 💪 🇺🇸
Folding knifes only with Triad Lock so that these shit will never happen again!
I carry a Microtech halo 5 and halo 6 some days, they have a nice little kydex belt holsters. I NEVER leave home without taking one of them. The halo 6 is a polished hell hound tanto, halo 5 is a standard tanto elmax. LOVE THEM!!
He went ALL OUT! OUTSTANDING

Where's the Becker Necker?
In the trash. While the Esee Stainless Steel Izula with black G-10 handles is on me. 💪
I have a Becker Necker. It’s on the shoulder strap of my hunting backpack. I’d never wear one on my neck. Seems silly to me.
Just got the Urban Edge 2 1/2" double serrated neck knife from Blade HQ & I love it. Super fast shipping in 3 days. Great service & price. Looking @ a couple CRKT Minimalists. Thanks, guys.
I have 2 CRKT Minimalist one with a bowie blade and another with a Wharncliffe blade love them both
Where is the eldris?!
I kinda wish Spyderco didnt feel the need to work in the Spydie-hole on every knife.. it ruined the aesthetics of that neck-knife for me without adding any function (that I can ascertain at least).
Also, these videos are great! Thanks guys.
It's a legal thing, spyderco patent ran out on the spydie hole so they bent trademark law to keep others from using it, now they have to put it on every spyderco in some way to keep it a trademark. If a non-spyderco has a round hole, they got permission (benchmade griptillian line), are not subject to U.S. trademark law (ganzo) or it isn't round (oval shaped shaped for example).
And spyderco fans and haters I'm not taking sides, just sharing info.
i dont think its really any worse than having their logo or a makers mark
I agree with you, the blade shape isn't aesthetic. But maybe it's more functional for it's intended use: wider puncture holes when used for self-defense.
My favorite OTF was the microtech ultratech, but mine has had so many problems staying on track. Well built with the functionality of a $10 gas station special!
My EDC is the minimalist cleaver I carry as a neck knife a lot of use and recently been having issues with it falling out randomly other than that no complaints it's served me well
Casey Neistat style 😂🤙
OTF...knives like that wish I didn't live in Canada :(
Will K I feel your pain
Same.
Same in germany
or California 😔
Kitchen knives are more dangerous than any other knife and I feel your pain here in Australia
My favorite OTF by far is the microtech scarab. Perfect size balance between the ultratech and combat troodon. Solid knife from the guys at microtech!
I have the Esee, it was a freebie in some sales pitch. I've carried it on and off 4 or 5 years. Nice knife, good size for my hand.
