Brother your channel is a necessity. I for one thoroughly enjoy it and I enjoy it because you're a man who knows how to use a knife and you use them. I'm not going to sit here and tell you don't worry about the trolls I'm not going to do it cuz they aggravate the s*** out of me too. But just know from a brother in the blade I truly appreciate you and what you bring to this community
I just don't get why what amounts to bullying over a knife or the steel or the cost means it is worthless and the person must be shamed! I mean talk about immature high school b. s. that is it! Hate friggen bullies and they to quote my millennial relatives, "trigger me" difference is I react like a redneck gen x does.........😁
Well said brother, we all have been there, some of my best designs are budget, if you like knives then you should respect them all, words to live buy my blade brother 👍, stay safe and keep free brother 👍, much respect 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@charlesjonestherednecknerd Brother this is something that I legit have to work on daily. That's why I said I ain't going to tell you not to worry about trolls. I think you're a lot like me. Its not so much what they say , although it matters It's The fact they know they do it with no repercussions. They know they're not going to get hit in the mouth like they should be so I guess there's a lot of freedom in that
Well done Mr. Charles, kudos for speaking your mind and truth, do what you do and love, your true peeps are with you...dont mind the spineless that live to be negative
Rant on man. Have no idea why some folks focus on breaking each other down. I find life sooo much more enjoyable when I focus on positivity. Truly amazing to see you enjoying your collection. No matter how much or how many you have. Just a fun hobby we enjoy
Brother don't let low ballers get to you, it's usually people who don't even have a channel and there mother won't let them even have a blade, I have a huge collection of blades and I have plenty of budgets in my collection, some of my favorite designs are blades I have paid 25$ bucks for, your channel is awesome and Don't let anyone tell you different, keep bringing us the blades brother, if you love cutlery it should not matter how much it costs, ever blade you have ever shown has been awesome, stay strong 💪 Charles, we are here for you my friend
Man I don't understand why anyone thinks they have the right to judge someone else's knives. Heck I carried a cheap folder for yrs and beat the living crap out of it. Now do I buy them anymore no, but I won't beat anyone down bc I was there when 20 bucks was alot to spend on a knife.
Yeah I still buy them once in a while and the $30 bucks is still dear to me (on disability) so I want to say to others if that is all you got it can/will work!
Well said Charles! The knives I enjoy the most are sub $50. Now prices are going crazy but the deals are still out there. I paid $34 for my Condor Hudson Bay years ago and it has stared in 5 or 6 of my videos. Hell I have sub $10 knives I carry and use on a regular basis. Keep up the great work Brother! Oh, and I could care less where it is made... a good knife is a good knife.
I live up in Montreal. I'm also on a disability pension. I have been somewhat fortunate and been able on occasion to purchase a Hogue, German Boker, etc. But for the most part I have a restricted budget like you and the vast majority of everyday people. I've seen these people who review knives that I'll never be able to afford. They can be very condescending at times, not all, but 1 is 1 too many. I must say I enjoy my many $20 knives as much as my few snazzy ones, if not more. That's the great thing about knife collecting, anybody can get in at any price point. We all encounter people through the course of life that shit on everyone for whatever reason to make themselves feel big. I've never let them get me down. As the expression goes, if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and welcome! I appreciate the comment and view. You will find a few fellow Canadiens visit the channel and I shout them out. One good friend is BC Jerbs who does good videos on fatwood fires and just the life on Vancouver Island. Great guy and a good friend.
There have been a couple of companies that have rivaled some of the top makers but with budget materials. Buck and cold steel, to name a couple. We definitely need some more positive comments, and we don't have to lie. If you don't like it, you can say that's just not for me. I've got high-end ones and low-end ones. Today, I have a Rosecraft and civivi. Yesterday I had a microtech and lionsteel. The Rosecraft will be used more today than the microtech yesterday
Many of these people come in bad faith. Anybody with money can buy an expensive knife. You can always tell real passion (when Donavon Tew assembles pieces for a themed presentation, when Joe lovingly photographs a katana, when Eric H. is out cutting in freezing weather, when you modify a knife to make it perform better,etc.) no matter how somebody is expressing it and that's what makes this community, not who has the most knives that have to be handled with white cotton gloves.
Chop I see your passion in the practice and precision you bring to your videos cutting and chopping. That takes practice and dedication and love of the blade. You put the effort in no matter the blade and it always leaves me impressed and frankly in awe.
Trolls happen to be the favorite snack of FreedomFrogs. Bring me to the troll burrow. In all seriousness a good knife is a good knife. Don't really matter what it costs. I love em all.
Since they are usually on shorts and I never respond they don't stick around thus far. I know they will never see this. this was me blowing off the steam I don't allow myself to reply in comment form......Felt good.....
@@charlesjonestherednecknerd I completely understand. I went off on MR. Medford once. It was satisfying. I'm not saying I don't like the knives but he's a real jerk. He basically said you're un-American if you don't buy his knives and you are aiding our enemies by buying from other countries. I became upset.
@@FreedomFrog333 Well it would cost me 1 month of my disability pay to own one of his knives.....so I ain't owning one of his knives. They are awesome but if it is buy a knife or make the house payment and buy food I am not buying a knife.
I must have missed all the troll comments man. You seem to get a positive response from the people who matter anyway. Stay awesome brother. I will say not everyone who pays an arm and a leg don't use them. Plenty do but those aren't they guys who are being aholes.
Yeah I don't get a lot of trolls even on shorts but most seem to center on knife costs, steel, and where they are made. Funny cost seems to be the biggest one.....
@@charlesjonestherednecknerd strange lol. I personally like to know what the good inexpensive knives are because there are so many to sift through. Plenty of treasures in the budget world. I have been going Kubey crazy lately! Insaine value both folder and fixed.
Here for it
You always are Scab and I appreciate it!

It is about fun and it is should be about welcoming everyone no matter what they can afford.

Thanks Donavan I just got tired of responding to people saying a knife is crap just from a short!
Amen brother the Mississippi boys will stand behind you!

Well done and well thought out my friend.
Thank you sir. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@charlesjonestherednecknerd I watch and like everything you post. I slack a little on the comments 😂
@@peterbiltknifeguy Eh no problem just happy to have you here.
I have never even spent $100 on a knife and most of the ones I have are $50 or less.
I have but it is a rare occasion and usually means I saved a while for the knife cause it was a grail.
Well said Charles! The knives I enjoy the most are sub $50. Now prices are going crazy but the deals are still out there.
