I cut my finger open trying to do this

Illinois just recently (2017) allowed public and private carry of OTFs for FOID (Firearm Owner Identification) card users over 21. I carried a dual-action OTF everywhere I went because it has an easy action and can be opened and closed with one hand. Extremely practical. A college classmate saw I had one and asked "Isn't that illegal? You could just press a button and stab someone!". I proceeded to take a single piece of paper, put it in front of the opening, and activate the action. The knife came off the rail and failed to deploy. This idea that OTFs have absurd opening mechanisms is based on ignorance and misinformation from political agendas.

Even modestly sized fixed blade knives tend to raise eyebrows more than most folders. I'm not going to field dress or skin game with a folder because I don't feel like spending hours taking it apart, cleaning it, and refinishing it, but for every day use, fixed blades are definitely not considered socially acceptable in many, many contexts, whereas a "gentleman's knife" certainly is. Nobody bats an eye at a sub-3" slipjoint or a classy looking small Sebenza 21, because they look like the tools people are used to seeing, but unless you're talking about carrying around a paring knife, which I sort of doubt (and which would just make people wonder if you forgot to leave that in your kitchen), people will be intimidated. Also much easier to put a 3.5" folded knife into a pocket, readily accessible via a pocket clip, than what is probably at a minimum an overall length of 7-9" of fixed blade if it's a very small one.

Dang, coming from the gun community, those first two minutes of the video hit home! That’s exactly what we’ve been dealing with. I never really hand someone my gun unless I’m at the range, or at home, but as far as the laws and stigma, definitely relatable.

To not use it would be doing both the knife, and its maker a disservice.That's just me though, I do admire the restraint of people who collect and put them in a case. It does have its virtues though. I have a friend who is a collector, and lost his job so he didn't work for a while. Since a lot of his knives were limited runs in mint condition he managed to sell some of them for a profit, which kept bills paid and food on the table until he could get another job. I'm sure it gutted him having to sell them, but it's better than being put out on the street.

I have many knives in my collection, but most of the later ones in this video I don't have because they are illegal in Australia. We don't have assisted knives as a general rule. I can't see the advantage of one anyway. Great video. I am always cautious handing someone one of my knives. Often they handle the thing in a way that's almost guaranteed to either damage the knife, or damage themselves. The amount of times I've seen them use a knife in a way that if it slips or cuts suddenly, they'll stab themselves, shocks me.

it's really entertaining and educational to watch someone rant about knives. the way you fold and unfold your knives kinda brings into perspective how heavy mine is. my own knife is really heavy when you first grab it, and when you try to fold or unfold it there's lot's of resistance. it's more of a stylish knife than a practical one, and it's satisfying to see someone manage to quickly draw out this vibrant collection of knives and give a good lesson about them.

I've found that if you hand a locking knife to someone you can generally expect to have to close it yourself. No matter how simple the lock is. I used to carry a folding kobalt utility knife as a backup (until I misplaced it) and people would open it and get confused by the mechanism that holds the disposable blade in place.

The difference is that guns are purely weapons. You don't use your gun to open boxes. As some people say, don't pull out your gun unless you are ready to kill.

gubx42 no, guns are tools. You could use a gun to open a box, but thats not the most effective tool to use. There are many more uses for guns than to kill. Yes when you’re carrying, dont draw unless you’re willing to defend your life and others by taking the life of the threat. But, guns are tools just like knives, just do different things, you dont use a pair of pliers on a bolt, you use a wrench.

Great Video! Everything you said was right on point with things knife people are faced with. Everyone has their own comfort level with regard to how much they are comfortable spending on their knife hobby. I have always loved this hobby because it is a way to find common ground with people that are at all levels of the knife collecting hobby. Before I let any one hold one of my knives, I always ask myself the question, "Does this person look like they are capable of hurting themselves with it, or doing something stupid?" If I get the general impression that they have been blessed with reasonable common sense, I lend them the knife.

On the expensive knives side, I just tell people that people enjoy art that’s on canvas, this is art in another form and I enjoy the creators work.” That usually eases people up

Expressed extremely well. Thanks for this presentation.

Watched this because of a commenters suggestion on another video. This definitely has me hooked.

"Why would you need a $200 knife? A $40 knife does the same thing just as well!" "Why would YOU need an $800 iPhone? A $300 phone does the same things just as well!" Except with knives, the more expensive one actually lasts longer and works better. Aside from some of them being basically functional works of art, of course. With phones I've found the more expensive they were, the sooner and more frequently I had problems with them. I had an old phone I dug out of storage after a couple years that STILL HAD A CHARGE (continued using it as a portable FM radio) and my dad had an old flip phone that was missing the entire top screen half and still used it for a long time with the still-paired bluetooth. Knives are usually actually worth the extra money. Wow, sorry for the weird phone tangent.

You were out scouting, handed a knife to a kid and your knife got dirt on it and you're complaining........ You are an idiot, anyone who carries a knife while scouting then complains when the knife gets dirt on it is not a real knife person, if you buy a knife that you are worried about it scratches you shouldn't carry knives at all cause you are braindead stupid. A knife that you think is too pretty or cool to use cause the knife might get damaged is not a knife anymore, it is a paper weight or jewelery and it means you are a poser. And anybody who mentions they were out with their scouts is either brave or stupid.

@ Metal Complex im on you amazon store and theres alot of knives ive had but what is your best recommended daily carry knife in the medium price range?

I once handed a Boker Kalashnikov to a friend of mine. He asked how to open it, and naturally, I said, hold on tight, and push the button. The thing jumped right out of his hand and landed on concrete. The knife was fine, my friend was fine, but there was a big annoying scratch on my otherwise clean knife. Also, I once handed my Benchmade Griptillian 551bk-1 to my sister. She used it, and once she was finished, looked at the thing like it was from another planet. And then tried to force it closed without even messing with the Axis lock.

It’s so funny that you released this video today. Just yesterday I handed a female coworker of mine my swayback jack style wharncliiffe slippie to cut something. She was having trouble getting it to cut the paper she needed cut so I glanced over to see what the problem was....she had the knife upside down! She was literally using the spine of the knife to try to cut the paper and it obviously wasn’t doing very well. Haha 😆 But after pointing out to her the correct way to hold and use it, I could actually see what she saw. Because of the blade and handle shape, it actually does look like a straight back blade shape with the spine appearing to be the cutting edge. Haha. It was a Rough Ryder Micarta Work Knife. Look it up and then flip it upside down and you’ll see it. 😂🤣

I grew up kind of sheltered and very withdrawn. Someone handed me a knife to cut a ziptie and I scared everyone at that table including myself. I am commiting to being aware and learning how to properly handle them. I've got my first knife coming in now, it ain't a switchblade but a basic hunting one. Thanks for the video, I appreciate the knowledge and the enthusiasm for proper knowledge in regards to handling them and for the people new to the community.

I’m 15 and getting my first knife. I don’t have a father to show me the way, and my mothers only getting me a knife in remembrance of a family member (their names on it, they are very important to me). This was useful, thank you.

Unfortunately in the UK you can’t carry most of the knives mentioned, all we are allowed is a non locking folding knife under 3 inches long and we need to have a very very good reason to carry it. It’s even illegal to carry a Gerber EAB Lite which is a small knife that uses standard utility blades, since it has a liner lock, it’s completely illegal to carry even though using a Victorianox in self defence or to fight would be more effective. UK knife laws are very stupid and driven completely by fear and bad press, cause banning a knife just because it locks is nonsense, no liner locks, no frame locks, nothing other than slip joints like on Swiss Army knives. Even carrying an opinel is illegal because of the way it can lock open or closed ffs.

When some one ask me if I have a knife, it totally depends on the person asking. Someone I don't know or not close to gets an immediate "Nope, wish I did!". If I do know them, then it turns to "What do you plan on doing with it?" because even if I am carrying a cheap knife that day, I spent time putting an incredible edge on it just to hand it to someone and then watch them scrape a dried up piece of gum off the concrete floor and hand the knife back to you, or something else just as random or stupid. So no matter what kind of knife, always ask "What do you need it for?" before handing it over! I agree with everything you said! Great video!

I sell private label meats to grocery store chains. I stopped lending knives to employees and vendors because although they are used to sharp items such as box cutters they aren't as you say "knife people." The first time someone dropped my Delica tip down bending the tip and I got a "Oh sorry." The second time the guy that borrowed my mini grip pulled it out of his pocket opened because he didn't know how to close it.
