Great vid. Reviews are good but some unscripted on the spot commentary is a nice change. Firstly, working in a knife store surely the employees can maintain decent edges on their blades. It's easy to maintain a sub 250 BESS on almost all blades. (NO hate - just a comment.) Second and what I loved the most is seeing how many employees & customers were carrying customised & modded knives. Engraved blades/handles, aftermarket scales etc..... Some awesome stuff out there!! Don't see enough of this. Sharp blades all.

A little surprising the numbers seen in this video, I know my USA old timer 8OT senior is like a razor but my even older Schrade Waldens open stocks are even more scary. If i was there the day you did that though i think despite carring a Victorinox alox cadet and Demko AD20.5 titanium sharkfoot, i would be curious about how sharp my keen kutter 3 3/8" cattle knife is. That old KK is onecof the most ridiculous knibes i have owned with how "keen" of an edge it takes. Wish i knew its model but it is old enough that it would have had a model number etched on it and that is long gone.
