Personally, I've bumped, but haven't crossed, the $150 line (yet). I use, abuse, and lose knives, and, as such, typically carry a sub-$20 Kershaw Mixtape (love that knife, btw). But, I respect and appreciate those willing to buy premium knives, because those folks are who finance new technology, making bargain knives so much better in the process. Everyone has their use case, respect and support that, and we can continue to have a wonderful community.

I expect more costume changes in the future.

I remember back when people would refer to the Jade g10 as "ghost g10" or something like that

Right on bro.

Am I the only one experienceing sound issues with this video??? Joke...it was a joke. I enjoyed the video. Thanks AKB

Oh god. My nightmare

Great narration and unique humor as usual. Love your vids…

I think you really nailed it (batoned it?) with the smaller companies having more hurdles than we know. It’s very easy to complain when there is no skin in the game or we don’t have a full picture of what’s going on behind the scenes. And there is always a “behind the scenes,” for any person, company or entity imho. I appreciate that sentiment about things and I think you nailed it. And I also have a few guns, but I don’t ever tell anyone that they can “buy a gun for that price!” As my customs are handmade and art that I can use, and my guns are all collectible pieces that I also use or compete with in uspsa- but I know that there is a price for a machine made gun from a factory and there is a price that I pay for someone’s time spent with handwork and refined skill. It’s a completely different animal imho. I love guns but I spend more on my custom knives because I can use them and pull them out to show my friends and not get arrested. It screeches in my ears when I hear another gun guy say that about knives and it really puts it into perspective as to how much they might not understand about the process of making a gun, compared to making a knife, and especially at the custom knife level.

Thanks for your work! Still looking forward to future beer reviews though...

Just making the knife easier to like. The AUS10A was pretty good already but I got the S35VN also and it feels a bit nicer with the g10 but equal with fit and finish. I am glad he is giving people all the options.

These reviews are very helpful. I just subbbed to your Patreon. Appreciate your videos!

🎉

I can’t afford fancy sharpening system, I just use free hand,it’s not great but sometimes I get it right,,that knife looks pretty cool 😎,, I like ALL knives I don’t have preference except Mora Kniv,those are my favourite…❤

He has a holiday sale on his website. I bought my 3V AD20.5 in Coyote for $200 and got a free armiger 2.

Beautiful knives bro. I want that espada bad. Some day

“You don’t have to buy them if you don’t like the price” wise words for our knife shopping hobbies. Maybe I should start saying this to by clients at work. Hahaha

Isn’t that true of everything?

Oh the epic audio issues.😅 Yes the acoustics of the 20.5 are awesome. The sound and feel of it. Night quite as good as the sound of opening a schlitz.

Hell yeah.

Now that AD is blazin' his own path, who is Cold Steel's new star designer? Don't hold out on me. I know you have Lynn on speed dial. (Please review the 4-max scout)

epic,bro

I miss my Demko.

Love my Demkos. Yeah the 20.5 is offered in a clip point or sharks foot but not drop point. The 20 and 20S are offered in drop point as well as the other points. Oh and there's the new Tanto 20.5 now as well.

Nice😊

They like shooting open their Amazon boxes got me 🤣

Yup the shark lock is the best sounding mechanism out there. I have a Knifecenter D2 sharksfoot version, and dream to have a full fat Demko MG (but kinda too big for my urban needs?).

Good review. I was going to leave a cutting but witty reply but I dropped my bag of peanuts and I have to pick them all up before the racoons with their dexterous paws get here. They can be trained by the government to plant tracking devices on or IN you. But all in all a good review.

I have two 20.5a and a 20s. Sometimes I feel like the 20.5 is a better knife at being a knife

You know what I don’t remember? Any EPIC meatloaf review! Still waiting, ok lets see the Demgo…

Oh, youmay not remember me posting a pic on another social media platform about a Japanese 'electrician' knife. But I found out it was from the 50s/60s. A very early 'Marvel' electrician knife.

Wish they would add the magnetic detent to these from the factory. The action leaves a lot to be desired.

But, that clip point, drops😯 Does the drop point, ever like to, clip? 30 year knife collector, and I’m still confused!

Ffing knives man . Oh yeah that new material called grivory 😂

any chance you'd know the thickness difference with the grivory/g10 and the Ti handles/why the aftermarket scales aren't for the 3v Ti?

I do not know the thickness difference, but I do know flytanium mills out the pivot for these upon request- so presumably the grivory and the g10 are similar ish.

I never had an issue with grivory as a material itself, but that 20.5 handle was probably the most uncomfortable knife to hold in my collection. I had to throw some micarta on there. Also, at the risk of being an annoying twat, any updates on a release date for the stump lifter?

Not yet on the release date. Production has started after I passed along a final note on one thing I wanted improved. I would have to guess winter?

I would even go further with the price... once you have 5+ knives no futher knife is going to be "good value".

Frankly I think the sharpening vid would have worked better as an ASMR. Would also work for plain old fidgetin and slicin boxes. Click, click, _shhhh.._

My thought of the day is 'Micarta is a plastic'. why do we think it is a premium thing...plastic

Yea bro, keep the videos short, my attention span is able to keep pace. 20+ min of AKB "droning on" is tough to sit through, unless ive had a couple 🍻

You very skillfully avoided the topic of the full size AD20 market, understandably so. I don't think I've had a harder time tracking down any other knife. Took me over a year to find a slotted slicer at a reasonable price. No shortage of Ti slicers on ebay, of course the scumbag scalpers are all asking $1,000+. I hope science creates a way to punch people through the internet someday.

I think the Aspada XL is entirely reasonable! But to each his own.

Over the last 2 years I thought I was tolerating you well. Then out of desperation I began thinking I was becoming a fan. Our bromance has ended as quickly as you put those shoes on. I tolerated them at first glance but then I saw how tight they are. Sorry bro I can’t do it anymore.

I hate being on stage- and I just got an explainer from the KZread app saying why my videos aren’t more popular.

Hi patreons!

I can only watch videos that are no longer than one minute. You also have to talk to me like I'm a toddler and make sure to point directly at everything, while making random noises or slamming something every two seconds. Also I noticed you weren't playing a video game in the bottom half of your video. I hope you can take this criticism to improve your channel. Think you.
