For a brief little run there, I was afraid MTECH had joined us in the real world, and "Terrible Knives" videos were a thing of the past! But, you kept plugging along, and restored my faith that some knives just runneth over with terriblity.
The writing on the flag knife is the Preamble to the United States Constitution. The Declaration of Independence begins "when in the course of Human events, it becomes necessary..." I've missed these videos a lot. If Mtech ever starts using real blade steel and figures out how to do a detent correctly, they may one day move up to Camillus levels of "bad but not terrible."
After starting on a Gerber paraframe, I graduated to a Smith&Wesson. I thought they were a well known company, so they'd make a good knife.... I was very wrong. The lock bar travelled completely over the blade tang. It locked up, but could only be unlocked with the help of a penny being used as a lever on the liner lock.
This is the series the world needs, the terriblity… as soon as I saw the title, instant click. The starting with the neon green corncob of doom, chef kiss. I’m pouring a bourbon and relaxing to the pain of my favorite knife reviewer. Cheers!!!
Hello Mr. Shabazz. I come from Germany and i have subscribed your Channel for a long time ago. I ❤️ your Videos . You are cool and funny. You are my hero off all RUclips Knife Canal s. With kind regards, your Gepard 🐆 Oh, in english it means, cheetah.🤔🤣😂😅 
This is one of the funniest videos that I've seen in quite a while. We really need smellivision to fully appreciate the sensory joys of gas station blades. Thanks Nick for a fun filled hour fourty one.
This video reminds me of every third Saturday of July where my sister blindfolds me and I get to dig through the spice cabinet with only my sense of touch then I get to huff at least three random spices that my stupid hands have decided to grab
Lol at the smith and Wesson being a POS. They make great firearms so you’d think their knives would be good, but you’d be wrong. I made the mistake of buying one once. It looked cool but I dropped it one day and it broke in like 3 different ways. Complete garbage.
@@krisrhebergen it wouldn't be so damn depressing if they at least contracted a quality OEM for their knives. Just imagine how different the knife community landscape would be if 2 decades ago firearm makers gave a damn about the knives bearing their name/logo.
6:55 Those text are in deed in Chinese, somewhat deformed (as in compressed horizontally), but still recognizeable. It says "红色营火", meaning "Red Campfire", which corresponds to the tent icon to the left. Also, trilled to see new episode of the series making a return after the almost one-year-break!
WOW, the dragon knife!!! One of my friends has one and he carries it almost every day. Same knife but with a red dragon. He has had it for at least 7 or 8 years. It's got a pretty wobbly blade but still locks well. He has some good knives but I think he carries this just to spite me and other friends that carry expensive knifes. He calls it the knife that saved China! Don't throw that one away, it might actually be magic. I can't explain how else it has lasted so long.
The toucan on meth knife definitely smells like some sort of crack-bird. Like a twitchy, slimy myna bird. Thanks for taking a few sniffs for the team, Nick. You do it so we don't have to. 🤙🏾
That's called a trench shovel. It's a fairly useful tool when made with a good steel. Of course there are higher quality versions. Cold steel offers one that is not foldable but much higher quality I am sure. Russian special forces supposedly carry shovels like that for use as a tool/melee weapon. They are pretty versatile, tbh.
I find that the ones from surplus stores,the used military issue kind is always good quality steel wise even if the technology is kind of outdated weight wise for example,but it's a lot cheaper than a modern one of similar toughness.
The weird part is, I remember being around 8 or 9 years old and looking at tons of knives. I remember riding my bike to all the different stores and outlets to look at knives. I remember something like 90% of knives having designs and metal that even as a child, I could just tell it was horrible crap. I then found a used Leatherman at a yard sale down the road were a Old man sold me a Leatherman for next to nothing. I could tell it made him happy to pass it on to me. I appreciated its quality and the old man because I knew he did me a big favor. I took that Leatherman on so many adventures as a kid. I remember using the saw to notch vines for water because we seen it in some 80's action movie. Worked great. 🤣👍
I own the extreme hawkbill shown at 1:23:00 and use it regularly. I bought is specifically because curved sickles are difficult to find nowadays and I need something to cut weeds and tall grass around my house. Mine is the plain edged assisted flipper version, marked as AUS-6. Whether that's true or not, it works very well in the role of a grass cutter.
I also share a fascination with terrible knives, though unfortunately I can’t afford to amass a large collection of them. I love going to small little shops in semi-remote places just to see what absurdity I can find. Sometime around last thanksgiving when I went to the general store in Drummond Island Michigan, I came across an unbranded cheap knife that just blew me away. This wasn’t terrible by any meaning of the sense, it was a chunky spring assisted $12 folder that ended up replacing my Gerber Stag Stockman knife as my edc blade. The knife has really nice construction and features none of the usual errors knives of its price point tend to carry. Despite it having an unnamed steel type, it preformed very well in cutting, sharpening, and holding an edge. It’s just an overall shocking knife, I’d’ve easily payed $60+ for it; it was such a steal. (I’m pretty sure it was assembled in the US, which may have contributed to it, but it was still very impressive.)
That is a weird version of the military trench shovel. That really is similar to how they really are designed. You can find them in any army and navy considering they see actual military use. Oh and that M&P is actually an automatic. A very low budget version, but that button will actually deploy the blade. Low quality all around though.
1:28:00 reminds me of Gordon Freeman’s H.E.V. Mk2 suit from the Half Life games. Knowing the competence of the scientists in Black Mesa, that was the knife Gordon had in the chamber, and it indeed caused the malfunction in the anti-mass spectrometer that inevitably led to the resonance cascade. That’s my new head cannon for the Half Life series, and it’s why Freeman prefers to use a crowbar as his all-purpose EDC blade.
Advanced Knifebro???? Lets baton with this! That axe combined with the shovel is a nice survival combo…….., if you have a deathwish. Thanks for your courage!
You can find a lot of real shitty knifes on offer up. But there are some gems too. Found this “knife collection” for sale, original price was $70. Description: 2 all black knifes military issue The others are all well known blade companies like tac-force , Mtech and Smith & wesson blue knife has been sold but the rest remain for $40. That blue knife was a benchmade 477-1 Emissary with the aqua blue aluminum handle…
I must strongly disagree that the rat2 is better than any of the terrible knives. I have one that fell apart in only a few months of moderate use. The blade won't stay closed, clip is always coming loose and one of the thin teflon washers ripped. Blade is made well, but the rest is lacking. Really no better than a frost or mtech. I love these terrible knife videos, very fun to watch.
So the safety in the M&P knife is probably worn out or it’s bad QC lol. I have a M&P knife myself a different style one and blade doesn’t open with the safety engaged I mostly use to practice my sharpening. but I recently ordered a Manix 2 and can’t wait to try it out.
I would like to formally apologize for my "I bet it smells like coins." comment. I should have realized the chaos that was to follow. EDIT: 26:22 The comment actually said "That thing has to smell like coins."
Nick, wonderful video as always. M-Tech, although terrible, seems to possibly put out a better product than S&W (at times). Some of their fixed blades look to be "dare I say" usable. I do own a fixed blade M-Tech (friend of mine got it for me because he knew I like knives-I need to look for better friends lol), but it does seem pretty solid. Thanks for sharing the "bad & ugly" helps us to appreciate the "good" that much more.
Even American patriotism is manufactured overseas. Hilariously ironic, considering the general mindset of the kind of person who would deign to be seen with such awful knives. Also... Lick Shabazz.
So are you constantly trying to find something that tops the list of knife crapola? If so, have you thought about doing like a spreadsheet/point based rating system for your knife experiences? (I'm thinking about Doug DeMuro's "Doug Score") Thanks for the knife terriblity! I definitely enjoyed it. Lol
Get the "first aid kit" with bandages and antibiotic ointment. 😆..Putting a U.S. flag on a "foreign" made .."hmm"...shouldn't you use surgical gloves? Some of them look like they need to go back into the smelt because they're "bear"ly functional...Great video. It's truly unbelievable about what people will buy as a "pocket" knife .
Honestly, that blue m tech doesn't look all that bad. Smooth out the detent, change pocket clip and upgrade the blade steel and I think it'd be a nice knife
I like those cheap themed knives. They are a great starter knives for kids. Except for the shoddy dangerous ones. My son has a collection of them . A few came from those ticket winning arcades. Eventually they learn what a quality knife is. 🔪

I like watching these videos because it reminds me of where I started so so many years ago
Got to go to my first bladeshow today, drove home and found a new TK live! Awesome.

Great show, brought to you by Sniff Shabazz.
I love your show I learn a lot about Knives Watching your show Thank you good job amen
This is some of my favorite content from any source, thanks Nick 👍
I was on vacation last week in Northern Michigan there was a store selling corn cob z hunters for $14.95.
I had to pass

My wife can't get me to watch a movie with her, but I'll watch 1hr 41mins of this car crash of knives. And I'd do it again!
Just discovered the channel. Excellent stuff. As an Englishman I enjoy your narrative and accent - where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?
sweet! i had begun to suspect this series was no more; glad to see it reappear.
Nick, I would imagine those bear jokes were pretty POLARizing
Well yea, but just bearly.
Such grizzly humor here.

Haven’t watched nick in a while. He is now smelling the knives in his reviews lol?
It's like smelling a wine cork
I was giving up all hope in Nick Shabazz, and subsequently all of mankind; then he finally dropped some Terrible Knives. All Hope Restored.
Nick: * picks up shovel *
Also Nick: "Is that blade play?"
I am sad that I missed this live, but joyous that you have done another, thanks Nick!
Having worked at a homeless shelter and confiscating a lot of knives, I wanted to be surprised but definitely recognized some things hahaha
Hope I never become homeless because you will have to take my knife from my cold dead hands, damned commies.
The toucan on meth knife definitely smells like some sort of crack-bird. Like a twitchy, slimy myna bird. Thanks for taking a few sniffs for the team, Nick. You do it so we don't have to. 🤙🏾
Are you kidding? I’m selling my XM-18 so that I can buy 20 of those razor sharp camo front flippers! 😳😎
I missed these, they really are the best.
You just became my favorite knife reviewer on RUclips! Great stuff, no great content, horrible stuff. I love it sir!
“Why do I do these thing?” *sniff sniff sniff*

You just made me stop the video and quickly order a great knife just to feel better- I’m only at 26 minutes, but now I can go on watching 😅
A slip joint frame lock…revolutionary.

That mtech wharncliffe is practically a Kizer Critical. I might sell my Kizer to buy one.
Ahhh, the 2021 M-Tech product unveil that we've been waiting for 😂
Nick that green thing is a shovel to dig what is known in the outdoor community as a "cat hole"...😂to cover your...expulsions in the wild.😂
So not an entrenching tool, but a de-stenching tool?
Its the human feline cross training tool!😂

While some of your jokes aren't necessarily a beautiful thing to me, that "Dollar General Batman" line is truly a gem among gems.
I had that exact knife! The first one. Now I usually carry a bug out or a code 4, but man. My gas station hunter didn’t lock open.
So the safety in the M&P knife is probably worn out or it’s bad QC lol. I have a M&P knife myself a different style one and blade doesn’t open with the safety engaged I mostly use to practice my sharpening. but I recently ordered a Manix 2 and can’t wait to try it out.
The spade looks like a straight miniature of a military entrenching tool.
The mandarin text on the shovel reads: "caution, shovel may smell like Chinese foot."
I would like to formally apologize for my "I bet it smells like coins." comment. I should have realized the chaos that was to follow.
EDIT: 26:22 The comment actually said "That thing has to smell like coins."
Things you can say to Nick Shabazz but not your girlfriend
So that first knife from Hendrix is apparently the knife version of the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield. A popular pistol they manufacture
That american flag knife weighs as much as a 4max.
Only RUclipsr Ik who can sit down with camera facing table and not get bored
This Turned from a knife related lifestream into a smell Testing lifestream very quick
I think it's a gardening tool. The pointed end is to plant. It's a saw on side shovel.
Lol that tucan thank Darwin it's tip down

HELL YEAH I was craving some terribleness
Oooooooh I love these!!
Even American patriotism is manufactured overseas. Hilariously ironic, considering the general mindset of the kind of person who would deign to be seen with such awful knives.
Also... Lick Shabazz.
And it's not just knives... most US Flags are not made in the US. Isn't it worse if an US flag is made in Mexico/China or wherever?
So are you constantly trying to find something that tops the list of knife crapola? If so, have you thought about doing like a spreadsheet/point based rating system for your knife experiences? (I'm thinking about Doug DeMuro's "Doug Score")
Thanks for the knife terriblity! I definitely enjoyed it. Lol
"Smell the box"
"ok"
“The framelock slip-joint” 😂😂😂😂😂
Out of curiosity, what do you do with these knives after you finish the video?
As a backpacker, that shovel thing had better be less than $5 or else you can do a lot better for a cat hole spade with the GSI plastic one
what is this "skulls on the cob" design on the Z-Hunter?
“We the people” is the beginning of the U.S. Constitution. The Declaration of Independence begins with “When in the course of human events …”

so is this the last one or is there another terrible knives of the month coming
What watch are u wearing in this video?

Thank you Nick.
Honestly, that blue m tech doesn't look all that bad. Smooth out the detent, change pocket clip and upgrade the blade steel and I think it'd be a nice knife
Its not bad at all but since its mtech he wont ever dare say its a decent knife. 1 thing I dont like about him.
It’s strange when you find a knife like Hendrix #4, which has been sharpened almost out of existence, but still is fuller than a teaspoon.
