Nothing seems more like a Wisconsin guy than this...
I'm a southern gal but I relate hard
@@ThinWhiteAxe I'm an armchair from England.
@@RyanNelson0402 You're a chair?!
as a wisconsinite i can confirm
@@Unclenose yeah, and these people keep sitting on my face 🤢
Last scene should have been him throwing his new knife in a drawer with another 50 knives and then him online ordering yet another must have knife.
You get me. I gotta have magnacut or 20cv to open a box containing another knife.
Occasionally I will whittle a spoon.
Makes you wonder, how did the first person to ever order a new knife even manage to open the package? 🤔
😂 I got one knife, my friend was like, bro why did you get a knife, I could have given you one. Opened drawer with 40 knives. Take some, nah dude I am good with 1 really.
That’s what was in the package
It's probably for the best we don't watch as much tv anymore, drunk knife shows were ridiculous. You wake up a week later to find 300 different knives on your porch.
You brought back the Frayed Knot joke.. haven't heard that one in years.. !
That’s not even a dad-tier joke at this point, it’s ascended past the mortal plane of puns
It's a Grand Dad joke lol
Oh shit, I didn’t even notice that line.
I missed that the first time. Lol
A piece of string walks into a bar....
This reminds me of when Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes fame) was daydreaming all day about the propeller beanie he ordered vs the disappointing reality of when he finally got it.
great reference
When I was a kid, cereal boxes were advertising these Ninja Turtle-themed sticky things that attached to your hands. The commercials made it seem like they would actually let you climb up walls like a Ninja Turtle. Spoiler...they did not.
I REALLY felt that Calvin & Hobbes comic the first time I read it.
I'm a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes. I know the strip you're referring to. 😂
I loved those comics as a kid!
Bro I remember that
That is exactly 100% my experience, to the point where I can almost no longer imagine how I ever managed to open the Amazon package that had my pocket knife in it.
I use my CutCo knives for packages. Same danger.
You probably used a kitchen knife lmao
I used the knife to open the knife
Knife-ception
I use my fingers 🔪
Honestly you can just punch through the tape if you're not gonna re-use the box and know that there's enough headroom over the object that you're not going to damage your product.
source: I work at an Amazon Fulfillment Center (the building in which your package gets packed)
😂😂
Me as a kid getting my first pocket knife in Cub Scouts and looking for any reason to use it. Meanwhile my mom is lecturing me on how it isn’t a toy and giving death stares at my grandfather for giving it to me. Did I cut me finger before the day ended, yes. Did I hide said cut from my mom, also yes.
As a kid I had a cub scout knife:
🍴🥄 three utensils included: spoon, fork, & butter -
I was working on something and asked my brother to get it for me he grabbed the blade to pick it up 😢
🙄
Mom made dad keep it safe from lil' brother...
I don't think I ever saw it again.
For my next birthday (JrH?) grandpa got me a Rambo survival knife.
🔪
I used it to make a fishing pole 🎣
and caught several 🐟
In HS I bought a imitation Leatherman for work (until I could afford the real thing) I still have the original L.M. and collection of several others.
✌️
The day I bought my own I accidentally tested it out on my finger. Bled a good 10 mins making me wonder if I needed stitches. Fun times, good memories
I take enormous pride in being the relative that gives children knives.
LMAO i have a pocket knife from my grandfather and my mom bought me one too LMAO
Back in the pre-TSA days my pop-pop drove us to the airport and was going to wait with us at the gate. Going through security then, emptying his pockets, he had about $14 in loose change and like a 7" pocket knife. Did he get to just put it all back in his pockets and wait with us? Sure did
Was a harsh wake-up for this Wisconsinite. Deputy at city hall let me put my knife back in my car. There definitely was 5-10 seconds of confusion on my part.
Ah, back in the good old days. Back when we had the freedom and could potentially stab terrorist instead of surrendering to them at airports. . .
@TheOReport1994 good days were pretty naive. I was there. Open cockpit doors. God and everyone past gate check. Hard lessons learned.
Same thing happened to me in '99. Security caught me with my huge Gerber Gator knife. I thought I was going to go to jail but they gave it back to me and told me to have a nice flight.
@@gearheadgregwi honestly, open cockpits were the only true security hazard.
I used to get genuinely excited any time I had a reason to use my pocket knife for anything other than opening packages lol. Then I moved out onto a farm, and it gets used literally every day for something. Helped me understand the difference between a well-made one and a good looking one real quick lmao.
What would you is a hard use one? There is so much marketing bs
That moment when you use a crap one as a flat head screwdriver because it can't keep a sharp blade.
@@kozmo7 my daily use is an old 3.5 inch Remington half-serrated spear-point flip knife. I could probably hunt down the exact model if you really want to know, but I've owned a few Remington flip knives over the years and they've all been pretty good knives.
@@Cavemanner Thanks friend. It’s okay about the exact model, I just needed someone to point me in the right direction when it comes to hard use knife brands as the marketing has alot of gimmicks.
What sort of other brands are your top picks and what sort of brands have done you wrong?
Thank you kindly for sharing
@@kozmo7 I honestly don't have a huge amount of experience to draw on. The couple of knives I had break or dull super fast were ones I had bought at fairs and mall kiosks years back and had no branding. Were pretty but not super useful. Buck brand knives and Remingtons are the only other knives I've used and both brands are quality, and Bucks are usually pretty good looking as well, but can be a little pricey.
Very accurate. I used to think I was the expectation
I have vids of me throwing hunting knives at targets 😭😭
@@TrenchSetter nah throwing knives is just fun i do it all the time as a game
Exception?
@@Floridaman457 You can read?
@@Floridaman457 either works. Means two different things tho
That moment when you fought off a bear, crafted a mandolin scratch, and escaped being held hostage but haven't opened a package
I bet Chuck Norris did that.
Girl: Hi. I'm Amanda Lynn.
Whittled Instrument: Me too!
HAH! Get out. =P
lmao, the most used feature on my swiss army knife is the bottle opener
Mine is the scissors and the pen!
I've had all the cool expensive Microtechs and Benchmades and ive carried a Swiss army knife since 2018 lol. Its just more practical lol
@@codyprice4592 cool! i have a mini microtech troodon!
The "I'm a frayed knot" line goes so hard 🔥🔥🔥
Sneakiest pun of the year
I recently used mine to divide a premade pizza dough portion into 2. Epic.
Unfortunately, a pocket knife does not in fact make you an action movie protagonist
Shoot!
But 2 pocket knives…now we’re talking |-o-|.
yes it does how dare you /j
What about a Rambo bowie blade? 👀
But as every action movie protagonist knows you gotta get the right knife for the job.
I once had a friend that would carry up to 5 maybe 7 pocket knives. All hidden and stashed in his casual outfit.
The guy's actually a hit man.
@Dylan Senior 😂 he got married and become a youth pastor. But ya never know lol
@MarEXksz it makes for a good cover-up
Perfect ending to that story
Knew a couple of guys that got into Filipino knife fighting arts and so began carrying a wide variety of knives. They resembled the scene in Batman The Dark Knight where the Joker is being searched at the police station.
So true though as I guy who collects all sorts of knives... I do two things... look and admire them, and cut open packages 😅
Me too. Mostly use my knives to open packages of other knives 😂.
Same, my most recent acquisition was an Opinel No.8 with a beautiful grey Finnish birch handle. Probably one of my favorite knife I've bought in a while. Not too costly too.
Any grails? I’m interested to see what knives people have.
No, you also fidget with them all day, while you think about what knives you're gonna buy next. Trust me, I know.
I used mine to cut bagels a client brought into our office once.
Takes me back to the glory days as a new Boy Scout
This is too true. And everytime I've cussed over not having it, has been when I've been opening a box.
I use my knife to cut labels off of new clothes 😅
Same
"I'm a frayed knot" beautiful
I have a pocket knife on me at all times. Amazing the amount of times I've used it for non-stabbing purposes
It amazes me that there are ppl that DON'T carry some form of blade. I'll be at work and see a person trying to Hulk-tear the shrinkwrap off a pallet, and I'll just [flip][zzzt] "I got you, bro." AND I"M IN TEXAS
I seriously put my knife in my pocket before anything else. I use it nearly daily.
I got the EXACT knife from Walmart like 2 weeks ago… on sale for $2.89, not bad for a little beat around knife
Hell yeah cheap ass cattleman gang
My wife got me that same one, too, for a stocking stuffer. (One scale is already cracked at the pivot, but it works)
I got the same one about 10 years ago for 99¢. Inflation’s a bitch
@@kristoferprovencal3608 $1.25 at dollar tree, right now.
Honestly, this is the sole reason I carry one and it’s super helpful. I’ve also surprisingly heard the phrase “does anyone have a knife?” more times than I thought I would in life.
Especially if you're a woman carrying one and know how to use it. Everyone always looks surprised.
Best time in a Calculus lab at university I ever had a few years ago was when my group couldn't figure out the math but we all realised we were carrying pocket knives and just started a knife review in the back of the class.
Worst part of 'does anyone have a knife?' is when the person that asked, holds out their hand towards you after you say yes, and they just assume you're going to give over your knife to them. . . Hello no!
This explains why when you are in a social space and need to cut something random with a pair of scissors which you have, someone from somewhere who has a pocket knife will always make the biggest show (not show off show but like let me show you show) of the small cut.
I used to wonder why it felt like it took so long, and it always came with a speech (knife in hand) and ended with a swaggered turn to place the knife back into the back left pocket. now I understand.
Grizzly Bear seems like a good Wisconsin villain name.
I hate/love how accurate this is.
Everyone should have a pocket knife on them, it's the most basic of human tools
Im a believer in a fixed blade and a lighter at any given time i wanna be the most high tech caveman if we reenter the stone age
Next up a leather man. A socially acceptable way to carry a set of pliers with you everywhere you go
Most relatable video I’ve seen all day. I always feel like being a teenage girl who carries around a pocket knife all the time is going to save my life or something but in reality it’s just my parents constantly asking to use it to cut things. 😂
"Im a frayed knot"
Dads everywhere nod in approval.
Similar. I’m the go to guy at Christmas for opening unwrapped gifts.
I'm always the one to bring a pocket knife to Christmas so I have to cut open all the packaging
Gotta stock up on those bandaids lol. But I feel the betrayal. I just wanna look cool eating my apple not have to pull out my first aid kit 😂
holy shit I haven't seen something so relatable in years. _this hurts._
I'm a southerner, but our cultures aren't too different
As a fellow Southerner, I'm sure you've had the pleasure of experiencing using a pocket knife in front of an unsuspecting Californian (or hopefully not. They need to stop moving here!). Their reaction is always priceless.
"YoU HaVe A kNiFe!?!?!"
"Just as sure as I put sugar in iced tea, but bless your heart for askin'!"
But you’re always the hero at birthday parties for kids when they want to open the box for their toys! ;)
It's not about everything I can do with it. It's about those times I need one and don't have one
I tell the same thing to people who ask why I carry a gun
@@yyeezyy630 A man who sleeps with his gun is a fool every night but one.
Your content is gold Charlie keep em' comin!!!!
I wittled my mom a mother's day gift with a nail 😂 good times
"I'm a frayed-... knot!"
Genius, my man!
I wish I knew where my pocketknife is…
You can have one of mine…. On second thought that sounds like a huge hassle Nevermind
“I’m a frayed knot”
You got me with the pun bro, keep doing the Lord’s work!
A”frayed” knot!!! 😂😂😂 the puns always get me!
The first one reminds me of when I was a camp counselor and we were camped out on the saddle of a mountain during an overnight backpacking trip. I had a hard time falling asleep because a copse of bushes looked kind of like a bear and I was mentally rehearsing how I’d use my utility tool to defend the campers if a bear came. (It didn’t even have a knife, but it could fold into pliers, so I imagined using it as a blunt dagger.)
"if you charge at me again" implies that bear was pump faking Charlie, or Charlie dodged a bear several times and now he's getting annoyed.
The bear went after his beer and brats.
@@TheOReport1994 there would be no "again" if that bear was coming for those beers and brats. First time charge, Charlie sidesteps and unzips that bear from snout to tail with his trusty pocket knife, "Ol' Red" he might have named it.
Or Dorothy. Equally acceptable.
Wouldn't be so funny if it weren't so true!! Always Ready! Be Prepared! Keep Bandaids! I keep both in my pocket just in case!!😂😂😂
“I’m a frayed knot” was fucking perfect 😂
You forgot paying for said pocket knife every time you go through airport security because the person who thought of the "mail it back to yourself" scheme is a capitalistic evil genius.
They charge way more than necessary, but I respect the hustle
Aren't we all John Wick in our mind?
Crocodile Dundee maybe
The Epiphone mandolin was the cherry on top. Thanks.
I.. am somewhat ashamed to admit... That I recognized what kind of pocket knife that is... Because I have one of those myself (it's one of the cheaper folding knives from Walmart)
Your expectation is my reality, the larger the knife the larger the…. Nvm
“I’m a frayed knot”
Pure gold
My father and father-in-law passed away; now I need to bring a pocket knife to every family event.
Miss you.😂😊😢
You all were great.
"...I'm a frayed knot..." Instant thumbs up.
“Frayed knot” 🤣 OMG I love this pun!!!
Also down south it’s mandatory for your first gift from your grandpaw to be a pocket knife and your first gift to him when your older is also a pocket knife.
I wish my Southern granddaddy had lived long enough for me to be old enough so that he could have given me one, and I to him in later years.
Going hunting , lovingly insulting each other, and going fishing together would have been brilliant! I hope that's what the afterlife is like.
The most true thing ever. Especially the acciddntally cutting yourself part.
The mandolin was hilarious!! 😂😂
I have friends who have Leatherman utility tools and they will only say it like "let me get my Leatherman" like please get over yourselves it's a frickin pocket knife
Never had just a knife but my little multi tool has been so much more useful to me over the years than I ever would've expected
I've had the Stanley quick-slide sport for more than a decade now. Best pocket knife I've ever owned.
Idk, I've carried a pocket knife everyday since grade school, and I use it all the time. Cut strings, trim my nails, open packages, twist screws, cut fruit, etc. Etc.
But did you fight a wolf pack yet
The box opening one is hilarious because as a kid when I got gifts, my grandpa would always pull out his pocket knife and offer to open the boxes. And my grandmother would like yell at him for having his knife while he was over at our house. And it was just so funny. I love them. They’re the best.
That frayed knot pun is gonna stick with me forever 😂
Best boot knife promotional video I have seen in a long time.
I think you have the exact same knife as me.
I have never seen another soul use this knife, and this was the last place I expected to see my uniqueness cut to pieces, like a frayed knot.
gold
Me simulating what I would do if someone tries to rob me with my pocket knife:
This may be the most honeest & trithful thing I've ever seen on the RUclips. Well done Mr. Wisconsin
This Wisconsin guy couldn’t even cut the cheese with that tiny little knife. In AK we carry for real
As an avid knife collector, this is very accurate
Pocket Knives for life. Always carry one. You never know when you might need one.
Ima frayed knot, got me fuckin rolling 😂😂😂
This is the best "expectation vs reality" I've ever seen 😂
That kick out of the boot was slick
The frayed knot joke got me dead it's such a dad joke and it's rly easy to miss
I actually loved how this guitar looks
I am not allowed anything sharp for this exact reason (and it escalates from there).
Imma fread knot 😂😂😂😂
“I’m a Frayed knot” killed me
I feel this SO HARD!!!
Love the frayed knot bit 👏
the pocket knife kick was pretty cool. useful tip if you're tied to a pole breaking bad style
Bro. Leatherman... so freaking useful. I'm constantly using mine at work.
The last part reminds me of something my grandfather has always said, “You’ll never cut yourself with a sharp knife.” Meaning you’ll be more careful with it and you won’t be struggling to cut something and leading to injury.
Upvoted for the pun. Beautiful.
"Do we have Banned age 😢" 😅
yep, except that amazon box was another new knife
My family all carry "very sharp pocket knifes"! You just never know when you'll need it!!!
The two jokes made me happy
"I'm a frayed knot."
Well played.
NGL absolute hero during Christmas
The accidentally cutting yourself thing is the absolute truest part
The shame always hurts more than the cut IMO
Expectation: the 1997 film The Edge
"WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO, ANOTHER CAN DO!"
It really is mostly opening boxes. But it's handy to save someone a trip to the kitchen!
The fact that this is so accurate 😂
The edits when he's tied up are hilarious
This hits so close to home!!! My husband has his pocket knife with him every waking second.
That Mossy Oak Bottomlands vest is lookin' sharp.
