I didn't realize that Ben was behind the Banter. It's not a knife for me but I feel like it's been successful. Great for him.

So proud of Ben, Zack and the Blade HQ staff. You guys revolutionized the knife talk in entertainment, and gave us knife people content that we get to enjoy as shows, instead of the previous knife ads or independent reviews trend. Even Knifecenter's show with Dave Anderson feels inspired by what KnifeHQ had started and masters. Such a great time to be a knife lover!
Thanks for the shoutout George! You are the legend! Good times! 🔪 🐓
I love what Ben has created with the Lander. To be able to customize your own knife is just amazing. He listens to what people want and just goes with it.

Thanks Christine! 🙏
Great to see Ben.
Best intro to a BHQ video in some time. This was a joy to watch start to finish.
Ben nailed the transition issue and aptly addressed the crew changes. Each BladeHQ review crew brings their own “flavor” to knife reviews. New BladeHQ crews deserve the opportunity to add their own spin on knife content. Imagine what we all would have missed out on if Ben, Zac, Kurt, Dallas, and countless others around them at BladeHQ had been denied the opportunity to bring us joyous knife content as well. With those great memories in mind, many of us wish George, the rest of the knife banter crew, Blade HQ and all of its staff nothing but the best. P.S. To Ben, the solution to a messy garage is a garage burrito 😊. Kidding aside, I couldn’t build one myself. So, I brought a closet organizer’s design skills to the challenge. Storage/workspace design is the key to overcoming that never-ending challenge.

@@Leftyotism I tried that, but the clutter came back with a vengeance as though the Tasmanian Devil paid me a visit. 😏 Unfortunately, most garages serve as storage dumping grounds. That’s why I resorted to the “out of sight, out of mind” approach. The mess is still there, but it’s largely compartmentalized and better organized. Absent storage cabinets, everything just piled up.

So good to see Ben on Knife Banter again! Can't wait for my Lander to be delivered!!!
I really liked that Blade HQ put out a video very worth watching after Ben and Zac moved on. Ready to spend some coin on some new designs.
Oh Ben my, my sweet boy, it is so good to see your face again
It feels like ben went away for college, and absolutely flourished. So proud of what he's done, and can't wait to see what he continues to do.

Ben is the "Lamborghini" of the knife world. In that Lamborghini had a Ferrari, but it wasn't working for him and Ferrari didn't listen to him, so he went and made his own cars. 🤣
The Banter is so good it’s literally one of my favorites.
"What isss UP guys?!!" Man I really miss hearing that.

I agree with Ben. I’m glad to see him back on BHQ even if it’s for a guest spot. I miss Zac, Kurt and Dallas, but things change and I’ll watch. If I’m not into it, I don’t find things I don’t like, but I admit I don’t critique or look for improvements either. I just watch and lurk 😂

The Lander hits the nail on the head for what I’ve started calling “social carry” knives. That’s the exact opposite of a tactical knife. Its design language makes it as inoffensive as possible. No need to make strangers feel threatened just because you’re trying to do some quick task.

I usually tend to carry a gentleman style knife i definitely understand what your saying. I've had people freak when I pull out a full auto tactical blade, just to cut a box open 😆
@rapierlynx

"Social carry" is a niche I like - modern and classy, non tactical, not ugly, not as fancy or costly as a full on gents knife. Then again, I had a coworker call my Leatherman Micra a weapon.
Just ordered a Lander and I’m very happy for ya Ben.
Love Ben. Good to have him back for a moment. Also watch his other stuff.

Ordered two landers the other day. I’m relatively new to the knife world but Ben seems like a fantastic designer and person in general. Inspires me to be better everyday
I saw a very positive independent review of the Knafs Lander and then found this video. Seeing great reviews and then finding out Ben is behind it made me pause this video and immediately order one. Should be here in a couple of days, and I'm excited to try out a new EDC that is so geared towards personalization. Love the concept already!

Maybe Ben needs more space to put things in his garage. But good thing he didn't, because now we got the Tool-Bourito. I think it's excellent for keeping your Knaf toolkit always near you. Also great for on the run, I mean for traveling! 🥰

Please bring back the weekly new knives episode. The content writes itself, and we all like to hear about the new cool stuff. Mix up starter knives, high end and custom knives, and just weird random things. Maybe have very popuiar drops (Demko AD20's, Koenig Ariuses, etc... Brian Brown Yeagers) annnounced live at the end of those. Make it fun and ALSO an event.
Aye that tear down mat is GENUIS I’m for sure going to get one for myself.
