    BHQ is much more than the KZread channel ... True I got into the hobby after watching a Knife Banter and found Nick Shabazz ... But I also learned about the hobby ... I got my first grail from their Bargain Bin and I their customer service is awesome ... Every the knife optimist I look forward to the future.

    I've watched knife banter for nearly 3 years now. When Austin left I didn't think much of it, Ben left and then announced the We Banter so again didn't think much of it. But now Zac and Jamie? Something is going on at BHQ. Either management is awful, or maybe the pay isn't good. But to the BHQ execs- you're fan base and consumers are noticing this, and at this point you're gonna start losing customers. Just a heads up.

    I really like a lot of the automatics that have come out these past years. But for some reason knives with assisted opening is illegal in Norway. It happened during the late 80s. They where banned along with other "scary" things like nun-chucks. And this is kind of weird, because my house is full of guns and swords. All perfectly legal...

    Yeah here in Virginia it’s illegal to have Autos, like I can open most of my knives with one hand about as fast as it takes an auto to open, but nope they’re just illegal to conceal carry so I can’t have any auto knife no matter how small, it’s stupid.

    Automatic knives are illegal in my state but if I wanted to openly carry around a katana on my hip it would be perfectly legal. Same with firearms. I could carry around a medieval flail with no problems, but a little 2 inch protech would be a crime.

    I've ordered like 4-5 Kalashnikov models (standard, hawkbill, the Donut!, cleaver-style, and a couple others). Sure, I wouldn't baton w/ them or anything, but for under $50 they are killer little workhorse knives (and yes, I know I could get something "premium" for the combined cost but where's the fun in that?). They're also pretty modular so if you have more than one you can usually swap parts out to make frankenstein models.

It really reflects poorly on the company that you lost two hosts in a month without explanation. Without having a vested interest in your hosts I don't have a vested interest in your company and you become the same as every other knife dealership.

Seriously I would save up as much vacation, personal and sick time just to stay there for as long as I could. Bonus if you could have access to the knife library, knife spa treatments, one on one knife yoga with a staff member, etc. Just a thought. Good luck Jamie, I'll keep up with your adventures on IG.

    I think we deserve a real, non-pr explanation for why the people who made this brand more than just an online knife shop keep leaving. I bought from BladeHq instead of Amazon because I wanted to even though I could have gotten quicker shipping with Prime. Pay them what they are worth if that is the issue because if not you will lose everything. I don't know if the higher-ups realized how important Zac especially was for the company, you better not lose Kurt.
