This guy isn’t buying the knives from TSA. He is buying them from an eBay seller who may or may not have gotten them from TSA. So even if TSA agents are not skimming off the good ones, (I don’t think they are, for the most part,) the seller is skimming anything of value, selling it at a good price, and then boxing the low value stuff because it is not worth listing individually.

I feel sorry for the guy who got his Case knife confiscated. He's likely an Old timer whose had it for decades.

TSA confiscated knives can be found at government surplus auctions. I’ve regularly seen entire boxes of Benchmade, CRKT, Gerber and other decent knives. I bought a box or around 75 knives with a mix of very good to average knives for $500 at auction last year. Many good knives in the mix. I still see them in almost every government auction.

Those buck 55 lookalikes seem to be interesting for light edc cutting tasks. Something that you're not afraid to ruin with dirt or duct tape or even lose.

What's interesting about this knife and seeing he got it from the TSA is that my brother got me one of these surplus knives for Christmas of 22. I forgot I had it in my backpack when I went on a flight. They said I could return it to my car, but I was dropped off and a little behind so I just let them have it. That happened shortly before this video came out. I wonder if that's my knife 😂

"This folder might be worth cleaning up even though its small" Ill have you know that its perfectly average sized

I always enjoy these confiscated knife videos. I see a lot of tactical junk knives and Swiss Army knock-offs, but seldom see a quality knife that would actually be a useful tool like a stockman style, trapper or jack of any decent quality. I don't know who would be impressed by a purple anodized tactical knife with a color-matched blade, but I would be too embarrassed to carry something that trashy. My grandfather would be rolling over in his grave if I ever did!

I worked at a sporting goods store in a touristy town for quite a few years. We had Benchmade, Spyderco, CRKT, Leatherman, etc. and probably once a week someone would come in to buy a replacement for something that got confiscated by TSA. As much as I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm betting there's more than a few TSA agents walking around with some confiscated items.

I've seen lots of random knives but some of those are super cool. Like the hammer multitool and a few of the wood handle ones. That was a fun vid to watch! Thanks so much for making it!

Either the TSA is "absorbing" all the good knives or Americans are walking around with shockingly poor quality knives in their pockets. No excuse for that! A good knife is not that expensive and they last for decades. They're much cheaper than any of the handguns I carry everyday.

You probably know this but -- for your viewers -- the red one with the skull on the scale and the blade that forms an concave curve is a Karambit style knife.

Per TSA, they DO NOT “confiscate” knives. They give the owner the option to return the item to their car or put it in checked luggage. The TSA will never take your belongings forcefully. That’s why you will NEVER find an expensive knife in these, because the owners would know the worth of those and not give them to the TSA.

If you have the Swiss Army clone with rubberized grips that’s what I’d want. It’s probably a Swiza and if they function as nice as their features suggest they should be more popular than victorinox

They definitely have people to identify valuable cutlery and individually list it

Wonder if my Boy Scouts of America Swiss Army was in there. Not a fan of Swiss Army knives, but that one was special to me and I stupidly forgot it was in my backpack. I didn't have time to mail it back to myself, so I had to say goodbye. That really sucked.

The State of Michigan auctions confiscated knives fairly often.. The price that the boxes go for is quite high and there is no shipping, you have to go to the warehouse and pick up the boxes. Too many buyers willing to pay too much for a chance to find a deal.

Most states do this and those that have too little inventory for regular sales often sell everything to contractors.

Are you going to toss the "inexpensive" knives? Any fixed blade knives?

I have been giving them away. No fixed blades. But it would be awesome to see TSA try to take a Bowie knife.

Very nice , but they didn’t steal the knives

Someone really thought they was slick and tried to sneak on a plane with that key knife 😂 but I could understand a person just forgetting it was on their keys.

Looks like some high quality leaverite

This selection has definitely been picked over. TSA padding their income with the nice ones.

Maybe people who don't win their knives at a carnival just try really hard not to leave their knives in their pockets when approaching tsa. I know I'm always stressed about it.

They were picked through by someone who knows what to look for, before they put them in a package. I had to turn over a very small case pocket knife worth $50 to board a plane (that I forgot I had) and had to board the plane anyway. Most stories I heard also had to turn over their everyday carry knife or knife tool set (like a SOK or Leatherman) that was worth some good money. All you got there was the picked through junk knives that the TSA employee didn't want to weed out.

I didn't know so many people carried such crappy knives. let tsa have them instead of dropping them in the trash on the way in. Some body has cherry picked that box before sale.

At some point people need to realize that these are already run through. The sellers cherry pick the quality knives that make it out of the TSA workers hands. You will never get a high end knife in these packs.

That was the reason i made this video. However, sellers on eBay tell me they are selling more that ever now

I know this video is a year old but I love the husky knives

I had a buddy that worked security at the football stadium here. He'd get like 30 or more a night. He had bags of knives he would just give me. Got so many great and expensive knives in my grab bags.
