28 years at spyderco. God bless you lady. Guys this is why we need to support USA companies. Benchmade, Spyderco, etc. these companies are paying good people, good money. Stop sending your dollars overseas for robot/slave made knives. That is all.
I had just got into the hobby and found blade hq right around the time when it was you Ben and Austin and then you and Zac so it’s good to see you and Austin again on screen, good memories.
I MISSED YOU GUYS! HERE YOU ARE! have on some secret heroes of the knife industry: workers, designers, camera people. SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ALL AFTER LEAVING YOUR LAST JOB ATH THE hq.
Watching you and Austin’s bladehq videos during Covid launched my knife life. It was also when I finally landed a big boy job and could afford higher quality knives. Great to see you two at the helm again!
It’s amazing to see you guys back at it! Always appreciate the content and hearing what you have to say. I would love to see you do a video with Zac when he stops by your shop! Since I’ve gotten my sebenza I’ve stored two full size knaff burritos stuffed with other edc knives away and only carried the CRK. Love it but I do need to get me a Lander 3 it’s perfect!
Rarely do RUclips videos, much less ones that focus on my favorite hobby, make me chuckle...but "Was it happy though (little accident)", broke through my stoney-faced appearance...thanks for lightening up life for me on a regular basis...oh and btw, and don't tell anyone, but of my 100+ knives, so far, my favorite carry piece is the Baby Banter, think about doing one in Vanax Superclean, LC200n, H2 or something more corrosion resistant than Nitro V (think using on a daily in coastal Virginia with crazy heat and humidity owning a lawncare business)...
The best show in knives! I’ll bet that even non-enthusiasts would enjoy this. I’m super sick(one of those both ends things) and didn’t think I’d make it through a 23 minute video. I totally got to escape that world for a moment. Thank you.
@@knafs_co Yes, but only if they have a squeaker! Or maybe both versions! 😅🤭🥰 I think that would work the best on a fidget friendly knife construction, to ultimately annoy anyone with that extra squeaker, even a fellow knife enthusiast (if the clickety-flippedy isn't enough), but in a fun way of course! 😇🙏
Love it! I would say dont feel pressured to all the segments every week. If there is something for a segment that week, freat, if not, save it for a future show. That will keep the episodes tight and with better content.
looking forward to more of these on whatever schedule you feel like pushing them out on. yonder looks cool, I'll probably pick one up since it's up my alley. same with a lander 3 with trout scales
Not gonna lie, since the big knife law change in Germany (2013) I switched to carry more fixed blades. Since a folder that locks can't be one-hand-opening (or rather a folder can't lock one-handed). And I like to not have to use 2 hands and still have security of it not being a slipjoint. I also carry a slipjoint though and a two-hand-opening folder that locks. So they just made me carry more knives, and they tried to get knives off of the streets. lol
What iiiiiis up guys? I saw those space cat pictures when I visited the store June 12th! Cool to hear the story behind those. Picked up a blem Lander 1, love it. I'd love to see Advanced Knife Bro, Nic Shabazz, or Finch Knives on here!
I'm actually going out to install a Panasonic bathroom fan today. I do got to say as far as bathroom fans go they're probably top of the line. Alot of CFM, and they are so quiet you don't even know they're on until you put your hand or a piece of TP against the grill. And the fact that you can set to 50/80/100 CFM is also amazing...... Now for some EDC related stuff I will have my full Ti Hinderer Project X in my pocket, and hand today to help with the install
Can't beat those WhisperFit models! Except people would leave bad reviews on Amazon because they were too quiet-- tryin' to cover up... noises. Enjoy the install!
Love the premier ep! Can y'all talk about the history of Spyderco's trademarked Round Hole? I feel like Ben & Zach have alluded to it in past videos and I'm just dying to know! Also: could y'all please fly Pete from Cedric & Ada up from Australia to be on the show? At any rate...Thanks for the Premium Knife Content & keep up the great work!
Omg 😱 I am so excited about this !!! What I wanna see ?? ( You asked ) * I want flannel shirts with your logo’s for crying out loud . * I want lots of Ham Hands, Zac, and Jamie guest appearances. * I want, we the people, the silent friends at your knife banter table, to get involved with giveaways! Someone needs to get a PO Box ( No creepers at your house ) where we can send in cool fun stuff to make giveaways. ( Stickers, coins, pocket jewelry, knives, artwork gadgets of all kinds ) Senders could get a shout out … * I want Jamie memes back … his humor is irreplaceable! * I want to see more camping ⛺️/ survival vids … minus Ben hand cuts * I want to see DIY knife mod vids * OMG as I am typing .. watching … YOU do have a place where we can send stuff YESS! * How knives are made * All the ways a knife can deploy … there has to be some unique ones out there . I’m so excited for this show I can’t stand it !!! ❤
Melissa's pocket check at Blade Show is the most entertaining knife content that I have seen in the past few days (except for yours of course). Anyway, show her some much earned love and bring her on. Love Zach and Jamie too.
Have you thought about maybe making a secondary insignia to go on the knife blade? I feel like the entire doesn’t always aesthetically match the designs. Maybe you could make a cool “K” or something?
Excellent question. I've thought about it, but Kershaw has been using a "K" for years, and it doesn't quite seem searchable enough for SEO purposes. It's a hard question that I haven't figured out a clean solution to yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hell yeah! New RUclips show! 🥰 Also: When OTF (automatic) sharpening tool? You are the only guys who would be willing to make that work! 😇 And maybe Boker. 🤭
l got to meet and hang out with Joyce & Sal at Shot Show 2019. My coworker Raphael was a former Spyderco sales rep. So on the last day of the show, he took me over to the Spyderco booth to hang out. Now, l have a bad knife addiction!
I always was looking for a nice blade with that sweet pinky ring at the end of the handle. I mean I have an Izula coming, but that one on the right side looks pretty damn tasty!
Loooong shot here…..but while everything about this video was awesome, I was wondering could you add the old Outro music from the old knife banter days??? That guitar riff initiates a Pavlovian response in me to be happy/want to buy more knives haha
I wish Knafs and big idea could collab on a folding pliers. Not a multi-tool, but a great set of folding needle nose pliers that can fit in the pocket.
I’d like to see Tim and Suzanne kell of Tkell knives Tim’s a great dude and he’s blowing up in the edc fixed blade realm. I know this is along shot of an Ask.
You two were the best of BladeHQ Knife banter and I am so stoked to have you back on the tube. Well done!
Old school vibes!
Honored to get the first news! So stoked for this show🤘
Glad to see your face again brother!
Great to see you again Zac
Glad to hear about Zach. It sucks he stopped his channel
Yeah bring back Zac
This was the best iteration of Blade HQs show, love the metamorphosis of Knafs and Zac
Would like to see Zach, Jamie, and Kurt all on at the same time with you guys. Would be a good reunion to see for us long time fans.
100%. Please make this happen
Please!!!!
This is what the internet has been missing for years! Glad to have you guys back on a show :)
This is a show the knife community has needed, and Ben, Austin and Jamie are the best people to deliver it! Super excited for this!
So glad “Banter” is back on RUclips and with almost all of my favorites hosts at least in the room.
Banter. Banter? Banter. You're talking about the knife model, right? ;) Thanks for watching, Santiago.
28 years at spyderco. God bless you lady. Guys this is why we need to support USA companies. Benchmade, Spyderco, etc. these companies are paying good people, good money. Stop sending your dollars overseas for robot/slave made knives. That is all.
Beyond excited to have the two of you back doing videos again!!! What-is-up-guys!
Hi guys I started my knife journey watching you two guys! Way too much money later, I still love the knife life! Great to see the OG banter back!
Good to see you two talk about knives again after a long time!

So glad to see a Knafs knives info show on RUclips! Please keep this series going 🙏🏼
Great video Ben, I love that Austin works with you and now Jamie, that’s awesome. Great products guys.
I had just got into the hobby and found blade hq right around the time when it was you Ben and Austin and then you and Zac so it’s good to see you and Austin again on screen, good memories.
Great video, guys! So much fun! This is why we all love Knafs!
I MISSED YOU GUYS! HERE YOU ARE! have on some secret heroes of the knife industry: workers, designers, camera people. SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ALL AFTER LEAVING YOUR LAST JOB ATH THE hq.

Glad to see you two back and making videos together! Great video and look forward to more in this series!
3:19 I love the look of the brown trout scales! I literally can’t wait for them to be released!
Excellent video. Great to see you both behind the knife news desk again.

Awesome show looking forward to more. Good to see Jamie behind the camera. Can't wait for more.
We've come full circle! You guys literally started my knife addiction 8 years ago
Thanks guys, what a pleasure to see and hear you talking 😜
Awesome format, good job guys👌
The best show in knives! I’ll bet that even non-enthusiasts would enjoy this. I’m super sick(one of those both ends things) and didn’t think I’d make it through a 23 minute video. I totally got to escape that world for a moment. Thank you.
It’s an honor. 💪 Good luck out there. 🫡
This is awesome, I missed the old Knife Banter videos you guys used to do. Pumped to see you both back at it
Awesome show guys. Looking fwd to future episodes keep up the good work. Love my lander 1 and 2
Only have to wait one week!
Nice! I’m very excited for this channel.
19:58 OMG! Yes! Yes please!
So you are saying we should make marshmallow scales….?
@@knafs_co Yes, but only if they have a squeaker! Or maybe both versions! 😅🤭🥰 I think that would work the best on a fidget friendly knife construction, to ultimately annoy anyone with that extra squeaker, even a fellow knife enthusiast (if the clickety-flippedy isn't enough), but in a fun way of course! 😇🙏
Nice to see Ben and Austin talking about knives again!
Austin! Dude was the best! Glad to see him again.
I was curious about the space kitties hanging up in the shop. Now I know the story.
So good to see you two talking about knives after a long time.
Love it! I would say dont feel pressured to all the segments every week. If there is something for a segment that week, freat, if not, save it for a future show. That will keep the episodes tight and with better content.
Heck yea guys! This is fantastic 🤝
Awesome video! Thank you for the background and news. Looking forward to all those new Lander parts!
This was great! it's like a matured, knife-nerdier, version of knife banter.
looking forward to more of these on whatever schedule you feel like pushing them out on. yonder looks cool, I'll probably pick one up since it's up my alley. same with a lander 3 with trout scales
🎉🎉 It’s as if I just aged backwards and am starting over with my RUclips knife journey! You’re all incredible and bravo!
It's now 2017, and you're $50K less poor. ;) Welcome!
@@benbanters😂…mmmmm over priced cross-bar knives in black and blue….good times
Love it. Finally something different to knife watch. Great job fellas
Not gonna lie, since the big knife law change in Germany (2013) I switched to carry more fixed blades. Since a folder that locks can't be one-hand-opening (or rather a folder can't lock one-handed).

Interesting insight! Thank you for sharing
Classic prohibition outcomes.
I was just researching knife laws in Germany today. Definitely some very specific rules to follow.
Whereas on a sidenote in Australia fix blade is more frowned upon than a folding knife.
@@mrchiefbs 🥰

Shucks. Thanks. 🙏
Melissa's pocket check at Blade Show is the most entertaining knife content that I have seen in the past few days (except for yours of course). Anyway, show her some much earned love and bring her on. Love Zach and Jamie too.
I added her to the list! She's a champ.
Would love a lander fix blade if y'all made one
Stay tuned.
Love my lander, gave mine to my son when he left for college and got another, pimped it with wood scales.
Thank you. Appreciate what you guys do.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff! Great to see Austin back in front of the camera where he belongs!
This video gave me 5 big smiles and a few giggles. Thankyou
Love the segment!
10:21 But Sirs, the orange cat is always in charge. If you have one you know.
Have you thought about maybe making a secondary insignia to go on the knife blade? I feel like the entire doesn’t always aesthetically match the designs. Maybe you could make a cool “K” or something?

He's back!
So nostalgic seeing you 2 talking knives
Hell yeah! New RUclips show! 🥰

The OG Knife Banter reborn, LOVE IT
So much fun. Keep it up!

Excited to see more 😄👍
Love this let’s keep it coming.
Love this so much!!!
I would like to see an interview with 2nd Change George. His knife history is interesting, and it's still going.
What is up guys 😂 i have a question ❓ on the exclusive through urban edc supply the Seigaiha variabt that has M390 steel, what was the HRC on that?
Hope to get a lander 2 later this year or next. What I would like is some copper, brass, titanium scales please. Oh and a titanium clip too 😁
I'd love to know if we can get that add on karambit ring on the modded wharnie lander one shown from the moon crew segment
Thanks for posting love the content
Wow… this is Krack for my eyes… I’m hooked and Kan’t wait for next Friday… Dis is so good for the soul…
OG knife banter back at it
Old school Blade Banter is back baby!!!!
I feel like the powder tech is going to find its way right into nail salons 😂
That's my "fixed blade" lander . Thanks for featuring my knife😅
You are a legend. 🫡
I always was looking for a nice blade with that sweet pinky ring at the end of the handle.
I mean I have an Izula coming, but that one on the right side looks pretty damn tasty!
Love this!!!
Oh wait, i didnt see the brook trout scales before. This changes everything.
Loooong shot here…..but while everything about this video was awesome, I was wondering could you add the old Outro music from the old knife banter days??? That guitar riff initiates a Pavlovian response in me to be happy/want to buy more knives haha
