Eight months into the future this video still carries full artistic strength. I used to watch Nutn’ with the sound off just to view the knives. I now watch AKB at full volume and don’t even care what knife is being reviewed! Keep up the awesome job Bro!
The Para 3 is my favorite pocketknife of all time, by a wide margin. I have four of them, the natural/M4 model you have, a standard black/S30V, a black/black coated S30V, and a blurple/S110V. All of them have Lynch titanium deep carry clips. Small enough to fit in my watch pocket for work when I carry my Leatherman Free P4 in my main pocket, big enough to do anything I ever want to do with a pocketknife, some of the best action I’ve ever felt, silky smooth and VERY solid, perfectly centered, and about as good a slicer as you can get in that wide a blade shape without making the tip fragile as glass. It’s utterly perfect for me.
Ok, I liked AND commented. Jesus, this is too much effort. Guess I'll just sit on the couch all day and watch knife videos until I regain the strength to get up
Comment and thumbs up, just the kind of guy I am, not afraid to put in the extra effort. Even if it is a year old video I must have never gotten the notification for, or ignored it. Its 50 50 either way.
I purchased the last M4/natural g10 para2 with the black coating and love it. I need to find someone to re profile the edge, but the m4 has held. I agree though, anything smaller than the pm2 would only get minor pocket time. I also sanded down the part of the g10 where the clip meets the scales, no pocket ware, probably loss on the secondary market though.
Advanced Knife Bro Are you trying to give me a knife? Listen, thats a really great gift for liking your beer reviews, but I'm going to have to decline, I'll just enter your giveaways and possibly "randomly" win.
I love seeing that Delica wharncliffe. I think the review for that one was the first video of yours I ever watched, way back when you first uploaded it. AKB, takin’ me back. Keep it up, Bro.
Thanks man! I don't have any real stats on that- but I just assume most of the commenters are the few. Maybe I should look at the stats... or maybe that would be depressing. I know my average watch time is about 3:30 and 40% of my total views come from subscribers.
Did you know that movie stars get their hair cut every day? It's true. Movie stars get their hair cut every day so that no one will notice and make fun of them, like at our school. At our school, this one kid, Ivan Korgetski, age nine, we used to think he shaved his head but his dad was just strict. OK. I have to go. I'm baking a delicious cobbler.
at some point I must have blackout drunkenly clicked on the receive notifications bell, and now you're the only thing that youtube keeps bothering me about.
My Yelp Reviews are funny so they may be art and if you cut off your ear you need to wrap it up and present it to your wife out of love! Enjoyed this review dude.
Great review. Personally bought the para 3 for easy EDC in the office. Last blade was a little smaller and it did the job just fine but low quality. Keep a fixed blade for the outdoors.
You've truly reached a new level of RUclips knife usage.... You batoned a 2.5" cutting edge lol I mean we always knew it was for shits and giggles...i mean ... Who uses a 3.5" blade to baton? Anything that small is already small enough.. Right?? But it was still feasible... In a magical fantasy land where mall ninjas actually use there knives.. I feel like you just defied the laws of physics .... My hat goes off to you sir...
The Para 3 can burn in hell. PM 2 for life son. Can there be a more perfect knife? Like Moses said: You can have my PM 2 when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
I love that natural g10. Now if it were just a Calypso, and VG-10.. I could be convinced to spend absurd amounts of money for it. M4 would start rusting in my mailbox.
That's a great thumbnail. I think I need to order a para 3 just to recreate it. I managed to get my hands on the m4 military. I would like to have all three in the natural/jade/ghost g10.
One of these days... I have offers to be on there and another pod cast or two- but my schedule rarely lines up with evening podcast recordings which is what every one seems to do.
Thumbs Up AND Comment??? That's just asking too much! I'm just going to leave a Thumbs Up, but I thought I should tell you.....?? Excellent Vid as always mate! Cheers!
Subscribed, gave it a thumbs up, and now I’m commenting. I wasn’t going to do any of these, but since you mentioned people bitching about it being too much, I thought I’d try it. It wasn’t that bad. So……more para 3 videos?
Great review as always, nice props to Cedric and Ada another great Aussie channel. Anyway Ive been intrigued by the PM3 for ages. You say PM2 is best for EDC but whenever I carry it for work in Australia I feel like someone might find it too offensive and weaponish like I might get jumped on by security. Crazy knife laws here. So Im really tempted by the smaller more “utilitarian” size of the PM3. With the PM2 being so perfect in the hand, my question to you fine sir is are you really giving up much in the ergos dept by going with the smaller frame design? Blade length to me is no problem but I dont want it to feel too crampy in the hand during use?
I bought a PM2 on your recommendation (hit up Spyderco for your cut) and I'm really enjoying it. I was just wondering though about how long until it breaks in? I know it's based on use but I really can't deploy it easily right now and I didn't know if I should wait more (only got it Sunday) or adjust the pivot screws.
Adjust the pivot... my PM2 and Yojimbo 2 were both second hand so I couldnt say how they were. The P3 was really the only compression lock I've ever been satisfied with out of the box. The sage 5 and the caribbean were both too stiff to be enjoyable.
I see the pm2 and 3 but what’s the black one the police version ? You don’t cut up bodies with a para military I’d suggest a Bahco hacksaw with a metal blade straight through the skin and bone and less messy than a chainsaw.
Great, now i'm going to have to watch the video again to figure out where the blue lines were supposed to be. Maybe you'll get two thumbs up out of it.
My Military clone is my favorite knife at the moment, shame on me; I thought about trading my dog for an original, I couldn't do it bro, bury me with my dog
"..and it has that choil up front so it gives you some extra room if you wanna choke on it.." ...Inserts knife down throat... ...how does the choil help again?

The starbucks joke killed me harder then a three percenter with a XDS.
THATS DED
I like watching reviews of knives after I buy them to help confirm my bias.
I thumbs downed then I thumbs upped then I commented to tell you about it. It’s a form of performance art from the future.
I am preparing a long form critical dissertation on this post.
My comment. You know…for algorithms. Why? Because there simply isn’t a better knife bro channel in existence 🤜🏼🤛🏽
There is nothing subtle about the absurdism, and that’s part of why I love this content.
Thank you!!
You are the first person I check with before I buy a blade! You sold me on your review of the Spyderco Caribbean!
Which I bought about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through the review!
Dude I love your videos. The production is top notch and the way you narrate your videos is original and interesting. Great work man
Ok, I liked AND commented. Jesus, this is too much effort. Guess I'll just sit on the couch all day and watch knife videos until I regain the strength to get up
You got any nachos? Nachos are good couch food.
Comment and thumbs up, just the kind of guy I am, not afraid to put in the extra effort. Even if it is a year old video I must have never gotten the notification for, or ignored it. Its 50 50 either way.
This was very enjoyable to watch. 10 minutes well worth it again
Thanks man!
Another AKB dopamine trip. This channel is like a RUclips 'Skinner box', complete with its own 'like' lever.
Jerk that like lever
The jade-natural-ghost g10 looks cool with blood on it. ...I get cut by my knives a lot.
Beer + knives = good times, and moist band-aids.
I don't that often maybe once a month or so... ok maybe a little more but they're only tiny pokes.
Art! Pure art!
- Viewer from the future
I mean c'mon u gotta love this dude!
That's what I said!
this video will be found in the Louvre of the future
did you mean the loo?

I guess I'm one of the rare dudes who generally doesn't resell knives. I give them away or use them.
Advanced Knife Bro Are you trying to give me a knife? Listen, thats a really great gift for liking your beer reviews, but I'm going to have to decline, I'll just enter your giveaways and possibly "randomly" win.
this knifes are pieces of pure art..
Out of all the knife channels and knife bros...... you ago above and beyond. Thank God for sarcasm ✊🏼 Keep it up “thats what she said”
✌🏼
Thanks man!
Nearing the big four o does make one ponder possible dystopian futures. I think you talked me out of a Para3. Thanks AKB!
Glad to have done it!
I love seeing that Delica wharncliffe. I think the review for that one was the first video of yours I ever watched, way back when you first uploaded it. AKB, takin’ me back. Keep it up, Bro.
I think that's been over a year ago now! Thanks man!
Yay! I'm now part of the 1%-ers.
I always get to the end of your videos
.
Thanks man! I don't have any real stats on that- but I just assume most of the commenters are the few. Maybe I should look at the stats... or maybe that would be depressing. I know my average watch time is about 3:30 and 40% of my total views come from subscribers.
I stood up really fast in a military style tactical fashion after viewing this.
At attention!
Did you know that movie stars get their hair cut every day? It's true. Movie stars get their hair cut every day so that no one will notice and make fun of them, like at our school. At our school, this one kid, Ivan Korgetski, age nine, we used to think he shaved his head but his dad was just strict.

wedo4444 and today, that kid is Hollywood's Josh Brolin!! The more you know... (ding!)
Sweet! Two of my favorite there (PM2 and Military). I also have the Para 3. I am sure folks will appreciate the comparison of all three.
I hope so!
You are hilarious man. Keep the videos coming even though u posted this 2 years ago and I’m just now watching it, but hey better late then never.
Keep on truckin AKB.
The para 3 fits perfect in my 5th pocket (key pocket). I love it because it protects the clip from snagging on things and i dont feel it at all.
The para3 with a deep carry clip is sublime in the pocket...
the deep carry pocket clip industrial complex! I have a yojimbo with a deep clip and like it.
at some point I must have blackout drunkenly clicked on the receive notifications bell, and now you're the only thing that youtube keeps bothering me about.
Doesn’t sound like a problem to me.
I am giving you both, after a few years. It is asking a bit much....
Keep it up!
Great review knife bro. Love my paramilitary 2 as well.
My Yelp Reviews are funny so they may be art and if you cut off your ear you need to wrap it up and present it to your wife out of love! Enjoyed this review dude.
Thanks man!
Great review once again
Thanks man
Cool. I am waiting on a different sprint run.
Great job akb. Love the vids
Patrick Bateman I loved you in american psycho ❤️

Man my thumb almost fell off doing that 😩
I know... it hurts!
You sound like your one anti-depressant away from using those knives on yourself, but im glad you haven't so far, I just discovered this channel.
I don't know about that.
I have 1 PM2, and because I make sound financial decisions I will soon own another PM2 but with different handle scales
This is what I'm talking about!
I love the batonings
Thanks!
I thought about it and decided that leaving a thumbs up was fine in this case...
your vids ARE art bro
Most excellent Video my good sir
Fuck yeah Advanced Cedric Ada Viewer Bro
Keeps me from having to buy a bunch of legit shit for knife sharpening!
Great review. Personally bought the para 3 for easy EDC in the office. Last blade was a little smaller and it did the job just fine but low quality. Keep a fixed blade for the outdoors.
You've truly reached a new level of RUclips knife usage....
You batoned a 2.5" cutting edge lol
I mean we always knew it was for shits and giggles...i mean ... Who uses a 3.5" blade to baton? Anything that small is already small enough.. Right?? But it was still feasible... In a magical fantasy land where mall ninjas actually use there knives..
I feel like you just defied the laws of physics .... My hat goes off to you sir...
I think I need to try a 1 inch blade next. In addition, I never batoned my PM2 on camera before so this video was penance.
Advanced Knife Bro yea... Baton a popsicle stick lol
He out did himself when he batoned with a slip joint 🤩
Advanced blue line banishing bro 👍
Coming back soon!
holy S H I T that was the best 10 minuttes of MY l i f e wow
liked scrubscriped and beetin meet
who doesn't beat it to knife vids?
The Para 3 can burn in hell.
PM 2 for life son. Can there be a more perfect knife?
Like Moses said: You can have my PM 2 when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
I remember that!
Video games are totally art bro!!!
I would love to see you do a review of the Fully Serrated Paramilitary 2. I am a handyman and it's my primary EDC and it cuts through ANYTHING!
I’m interested in their knives, but I hate the holes in them for opening. Thumb studs are so much easier.
I personally like the holes better, and tend to carry them more than my thumbstudded benchmades... but hey we all have our own opinions.
Man, can't see how the G10 could damage your shorts? Those high end tactical shorts surely would wear the G10!
Not mine! Some other people complain about it.
I love that natural g10. Now if it were just a Calypso, and VG-10.. I could be convinced to spend absurd amounts of money for it. M4 would start rusting in my mailbox.
That would be a nice blade!
That's a great thumbnail. I think I need to order a para 3 just to recreate it. I managed to get my hands on the m4 military. I would like to have all three in the natural/jade/ghost g10.
It's gone now!
Advanced Knife Bro The m4 para 3 with black blade drops Friday. The lionsteel round head drops any day now. I need a better job.
What a blade🤤
You should do a Blue Apron video with some gigantic Cold Steel knife/machete.
I have had one of those free meal offeres for a while- and never did it.
You could do some slo-mo brussel sprout chopping because that's all those damn things are good for. Trying to be mini-cabbages and shit.
Dude, when you gonna be on the Knifenuts podcast?
haha agreed!
One of these days... I have offers to be on there and another pod cast or two- but my schedule rarely lines up with evening podcast recordings which is what every one seems to do.
Who?????
I came for the batoning. I stayed because I like AKB's review style. :)
Thanks dude.
“Process and cook your own elk day” 🤣😂🤣
Do the 100 Pacer next!
That's a nice one- however after my CRK, I promised to myself to never spend over $200 on a pocket knife again.
Advanced Knife Bro I agree. $200 is ridiculous for a pocket knife.
Advanced Knife Bro I agree. $200 is ridiculous for a pocket knife.
This channel is the fucking best!! Thank you for this.
Thanks man!
Thumbs Up AND Comment??? That's just asking too much! I'm just going to leave a Thumbs Up, but I thought I should tell you.....?? Excellent Vid as always mate! Cheers!
Thanks dude!
I will get really interesting once the qci'd PM 3 comes out,mislabel Galore!
Check out a spyderco sometime in S35VN, really nice steel
I have s35vn on some other knives like my Sebenza and a few others... I'm aware of it.
Subscribed, gave it a thumbs up, and now I’m commenting. I wasn’t going to do any of these, but since you mentioned people bitching about it being too much, I thought I’d try it. It wasn’t that bad. So……more para 3 videos?
There’s another para 3 lightweight video on the channel somewhere
If you don’t like it that much you can hand it down to me
I absolutely freaking love that version !!!
I told my girlfriend she needed to get on her phone and watch this video and hit the like button because AKBs future depends on it!
DO IT!

That's why I prefer the PM2 because of larger blade and handle grip area.
Great stuff!
Life is not completed without batoning.
Waiting for a Para 2 in carbon fiber and M390.
that would be a great combo
Going thru blue line withdrawal..............you're such a blue line tease! Is that an art?
Good video
Thanks
I like the handle scales on the para 3 but it's too small for me.
Yup.
Your videos is already a art! Just like trolling :) A Masterpiece!
Gave a thumbs-up. This is my comment.
Great comparison..
Sometimes I unsubscribe just so I can feel the joy of subscribing again.

WoW......Just WoW
I see the pm2 and 3 but what’s the black one the police version ? You don’t cut up bodies with a para military I’d suggest a Bahco hacksaw with a metal blade straight through the skin and bone and less messy than a chainsaw.
And ... a thumbs up too !
Comment. Officially requesting an AKB patreon account.
Great, now i'm going to have to watch the video again to figure out where the blue lines were supposed to be. Maybe you'll get two thumbs up out of it.
If you could figure out how to double thumbs up a video- that would make millions.
I like the para 3. The handle does make my hands look bigger and as every person of the female persuasion knows, bigger hands, bigger....
Disappointment????
Iphone starting to get a wear spot on the thumbs up button, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. Maybe I cam fix it with the paramilitary 3....
Almost all Spyderco blades look like slightly different sizes of the same blade.
Pretty much. Find the one Spyderco that suits you best and you don't really need any others.
Theirin lies the beauty
Can't fix perfect.
What's with the aggression, dude?
Are you a Navy Seal in "the real world"? Could I have your autograph?
Thumbs up and comment. 👍😎
Thanks dude!
Love the sarcasm!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I never know what to write for a comment. I mean 'great video' seams a bit pedestrian.
I feel ya... I never know what to say down here either.
A comment...
Thanks!
A reply.
You’re certainly an artists.
My Military clone is my favorite knife at the moment, shame on me; I thought about trading my dog for an original,
I couldn't do it bro,
bury me with my dog
"..and it has that choil up front so it gives you some extra room if you wanna choke on it.."

Great video!
