A friend of mine told me a story a while back. He knew a guy that was a guide up in Alaska, and was sitting around at camp with the people he was taking on trip. They were all bragging about their expensive knives, and the guide bet them $100 each his little folding Buck could do something their knives couldn't. After all agreeing to the bet, and the guide stood up and threw his Buck into the river and laughed. Waste of a nice Buck, but he won the bet! LOL

I like knives, but swords peak my interest more than anything else. Honestly, any cutting I ever do I do mostly with my cheap 10 dollar folder. Expensive knives are NOT a necessity, but I like them so I buy them anyways.

@RebelWrestler45 I have all three. And I keep up with my classes at the university. You are lazy, and trying to discredit my ways by hinting I have no life confirms it. it takes me a couple weeks to put a knife together. I work on it Saturday mornings before I head to work. I put 3 hours in at a time at the very most. You have to enjoy making them, as I do. Maybe you stare at your collection, play video games or whatever. I make things with my hands.

@azreal289 Some of us have jobs, friends, and girlfriends

In all honest truth you buy things because you dont want to make them. I wont comment on responsibility or manliness because those are seperate issues but I promise I enjoy my knives more than you do. even if youve read your knife porn magazines, stared at pictures of it for weeks and then get it and pose with it infront of your mirror every day to justify the boatload of cash youve spent, you still dont enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

[azreal289]

look guys, its nice that you have the money to buy neat looking designs. perhaps your one of those people that just buys things. When I see something cool I dont say hey I want to buy that. I say, clever idea I'm going to make that. Then I make it. I could spend $70 on a kabar. Or I could drive to my local scrap yard and buy a piece of d2 tool steel bar stock and hammer it out into a half inch thick blade, and grind out the shape using stones I found by the creek and make a sheath for $20.

omg .... you have probably a few knives that are razorsharp .. shave your beard with them

I appreciate your common sense approach in your videos. Too many of the people doing reviews on youTube act as if the only acceptable knife is something that will kill a bear; if something comes out that will kill a kevlar wearing bear, then they just have to have that, and nothing else is acceptable. Truth is, odds are pretty good you're gonna be bear food even if you paid a million for your knife.

maybe you would not need money if you did not spend it on expensive knives...

i bought a benchmade stryker and it works great and i love it but when the blade is shut its not that centered..it kind of favors the right side of the handle,i looked at some of my s.o.g assisted knifes and they are simular ,is this something common among assist knifes?it hasnt caused any problems with the funtion of the knife,it just kind of bothers me not knowing if that is normal or not,i dont really know to much about assist knifes as i usually dont buy them.....thanks
