    Zach, I can't express how much I miss your videos. I still think back to those early days of Blade HQ, before Ben joined the crew. Those were the golden years when you were leading the charge, crafting some of my all-time favorite content. Your storytelling has a rare magic that truly resonates, and I’d love to see more of your work. Keep it coming!

      I love the name of that knife! Louis L'Amour is my favorite author. His stories always transport me to another time and place, filled with adventure and grit. There’s something special about the way he captures the spirit of the frontier, much like the way you bring your narratives to life. Keep up the great work!

    Zac from watching your videos, I purchased Education of a Wandering Man, read it, and then bought a copy for my buddy. Later I booked a hiking trip to Southern Utah with my wife and two of my boys. We leave in 2 weeks. Now I’ve purchased your knife to take with me. Please keep the channel going. My favorite are your traveling videos. And thanks.

    Couldn't agree more that you should bring your channel back. Like many have said already, we enjoy your content more for vibes and less for gear, the gear is just a nice companion to the folks which is exactly what gear should be. I can safely say you are probably the only EDC content creator that has ever made me change the way I think about life versus any piece of gear. I picked up a Yonder and think I may use it as an inflection point for getting out of the habits of constantly buying/selling/trading gear and spending too much time watching gear reviews and focusing more on my family, life, and our experiences. Hopefully we can all say "welcome back!"

    At the start of covid i found knife banter and binged every episode out at that point! One of if not the biggest reasons i fell in love with knifes this hobby and this community was the passion you showed each time you talked about knifes on the bladehq channel! One of my favorite knifes of all time to this day is the 4max scout because of you and im never getting rid of that thing cause its just so much fun. What im trying to say is i and i think everyone else in this community want to see more from you! I loved the worksharpinthewild series! Much love man

It’s helped me appreciate the value a knife can have as a tool as well the value you bring as the guy who’s got scissors or a tweezers. I’ll be getting a yonder as my next knife and looking forward to see whatever else Zac puts out. Safe travels.

I purchased a G10 and I love the belly this knife could be used for camping prepping food etc and and it comes with a crossbar lock which means it has Omega springs it could be adjusted all of this for for under $100 I got mine on Amazon for less than $60 and this is why I won an award congratulations on that next fixed blade keep it under 8 in.Bella Bella bravo bravo 👏🎉🎉🎉.

    Of course we want you back. You’ve inspired me so much not just in edc, but in just life in general. You were the one that got me into knives, being prepared, and looking for adventure. You’ve inspired me to take risks, and make stories that I could tell my kinds, and grandkids someday. I’m a cowboy now because your way of thinking and yondering, encouraged me to do the same.
