Jesus, Lynn Thompson is such a treasure to the knife community. Honestly wish I had appreciated how he made Cold Steel the "Cold Steel" we knew and loved when he was still head honcho there. Now CS just feels like a shadow of their old company and I have no doubt that Lynn was the reason for that dynamic shift in the company. Such unapologetically, brash, in-your-face knives whenever Lynn's around for a pocket check. Thanks for the content from B.S. 2023 Blade HQ!
Some of these people are so cringey carrying all that bullshit. Like Taylor carrying around 3 knives plus a razor blade and a multi tool…. And then a $150 pencil and fountain pen for all the times you just need a pencil in your day to day life …. It’s gotten to where people are wearing Fanny packs just to carry their toys around. How can people take them seriously?
There's much pocket trash in EDC communities nowadays, but i think it's totally normal to kind of show-off in an event like that. After all everyone is there to see blades.
@@arizonaranger1 in real life, it's strictly sub 3" and light. it's a fun hobby. you don't see off roaders cruising around every day in their rock crawlers
A 5 pound brick folder makes for a great spine bending weight on your pocket if you don't carry at least an Espada XL on the other side. Be balanced in all aspects of life my friends
I really like how Lynn is still Lynn two decades after he began his "no apologies and no F given" company and behavior So rare to see on these PC and Woke days
it's crazy that's my Brian Tighe and you're interviewing Bob Terzuola and I got a CKF Eagle Rock designed by the man himself! Also I misspoke Elina ISHAM I know his name I was a bit nervous
Love these vids but damn I'm shocked how these guys got the "bla bla knife mega steel super scales" that probably costs "only" 789 bucks but not a decent wallet. Idk what's that piece of mixed tech-leather they all have (and idc) but a wallet is like a watch or a pair of shoes...
1 knife 940Benchmade and it will bee till the end . Beter, for mee I didn't see. I also have Ultratech Momento More but that is only for home protection with gear.
The guy from Blade HQ was ridiculous. How many times in his lifetime did he need to defend himself with his knives or gun. He’s concerned about being able to cut through leather jackets if he’s attacked. Ridiculous.
Lynn Thompson is about as real as they come. Man went head-to-head with a wild water buffalo just to test one of his company's spears. Lotta these people are pencil-pushers, make no mistake. Lynn is not.
Pretty much like climbing Everest or putting man on the moon. Sometimes it's just because you can. Take it for what it is - a folly or a frippery. Please have a nice day.
Lynn Thompson is like a rare elite Boss that drop alot of loot! LoL don't get one shoted
🥱
If Blade HQ doesn't make a "HOLY NUTS" shirt, I'll be really upset
😂😂😂
The Inca Pirate here loving the video! LOL! My first Blade Show and I really had a blast. Thanks for the Pocket Check! (min. 9:57)
Dude, it looked like your penguin shot sparks when you flicked it open!!!
@@jefflongo5084 It’s because that M390 version is ON FIRE 😅.
@@jefflongo5084 Oh sh*t! I just saw it! You’re totally right! I even watched the clip in slow motion. Damn!
@@ErnestoJimenex hahah crazy right??? I rewinded like 5 times!!
Lynn Thompson is a treasure of the EDC world. I love his approach to knife carry. Cold Steel FTW!
It was an honor to show you my mega blade haha
Hey Beau, DUCK!
Lynn will always be the carry king
And the youngster Koen, good to see the next generation of the community!
Right?! It’s cool to see them starting young and learning. Loved how honest he was with his answer. Good kid right there. 💪🏽
Holy cow, how much did that one guy spend at the show for all those knives. Wow!!!
"Well, we put his name on it"
*Hey Michael BAY! Ease up on the shaky camera motions WILL YA?*
Was a pleasure to meet you guys! Hope we can do it again soon!

Lynn Thompson is one interesting dude
It’s cool u had Bo in your video.
I love that some knife makers are carrying other brands.

I can’t take them seriously but I doubt it’s their real edc, if I where to go to blade show I’d like to show off a bit more too

I see Best Damn ECD's "Arcform" and I instantly get "Apophis" from SG1. Must be the thumb stud!
*EDIT* It's called "Theory".
u can tell phillip likes butterfly knives just by lookin at his fingers 😂😂
Lynn Thompson carrying 20lbs of Knives and Guns lol
I can handle that little pocket knife better than you Bo!
Ok the thumbnail worked. That knife is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.

Scout carry?

Lynn Thompson will mess someone up badly trying toplay with him.
I'm going to carry dull duct taped broken Knife Show Frost knives to the next show so I can whip em out & impress everyone on RUclips.
Dude has a don’t tread on me shirt but yet he’s a cop, what an oxymoron.
Ha! I look at it the same way. No kids… disposable income! Been collecting since 8 and reaching 2600 knives!! Much respect!
that WESN. shit. i want.
Where are all the spyderco knives?
I think I saw one knife that looked like it had been used.
Well I hit the l Iink and made a purchase. I just couldn't help it. Happy Fathers Day to me
the show is great the 10 pound pocket knife is a display piece only I hope.
it's crazy that's my Brian Tighe and you're interviewing Bob Terzuola and I got a CKF Eagle Rock designed by the man himself! Also I misspoke Elina ISHAM I know his name I was a bit nervous
How ironic. A drug enforcment cop wearing a "don't tread on me" shirt.......dude treads all over peoples individual sovereignty for a living.
LOL. Who cares about drugheads.
Better yet, he carries the anti 2a knife, bench made. Remember when they helped the PD to cut up guns?
Love to see him in a foot chase!😆😆😅🤣😂🤣
I also run a drug unit
You know it was a good knife show if Lynn’s arm hair is all over the floor.
Knife guy Koen!!!!!! Rocking that Giant Mouse! @giantmouse
Love these vids but damn I'm shocked how these guys got the "bla bla knife mega steel super scales" that probably costs "only" 789 bucks but not a decent wallet.
Idk what's that piece of mixed tech-leather they all have (and idc) but a wallet is like a watch or a pair of shoes...
Great to see Dominic from @maxlvledc at the show and carrying gear he shows on his channel too.
Wesn is really flying rn
Who wants to see a bunch of boxes? If it’s gonna show you the knives, then take them out of the box or go away.😂
I don't really appreciate the idea of a cop using a knife to knock on private property... I love knives, not irresponsible people.
The guy wearing the NY hat hopefully he’s just a yankee fan cause if he’s from NY that’s a lot of felonie!
Never knew why people used serrated edges until now, love learning new things you didn't expect to even learn, great community man
All hail Winterblade!! 🙌 💜💜💜
Yes!!
I like to keep it light because i carry 2 butterfly knives on me one still in box.
Anybody got any idea what band that is on Jeff's shirt?
bro wtf was that light, that was insane
Steven F Austin? Wtf? As a Texan I'm offended. Stone Cold or Steve Austin would've sufficed.
Couldn’t make it out..what was the magnetic knife with the drop tip??
Squid >
You ever pocket check and someone pulls out a PM2 Tanto? I looove those and I never see anyone pull those out in these videos
10:35 “Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night…”
I legit thought the second dude was wearing a Far Cry 5 t-shirt for a second. lol
EDC's Arcform is a "Theory"
I feel like Les is of the same ilk as myself . Now, if I could just get my VECP button lock I’d be all set.
14:07 . . .😳‼️
never thought big beau was a knife guy. He's so cool
Runs the agency, swat and drug unit? 🤔 hmmm
how does such a rotund man(no offense) carry so many very large knives lol
Big man, big company, big knives and a big "no care to offend anyone" attitude for 20+ years
Gotta love Lynn
That pirate slip joint that only 15 were made is the best knife in this video by a mile
Bro he actually did blind me lmao
What was George carrying???
Finally some emersons!
1 knife 940Benchmade and it will bee till the end . Beter, for mee I didn't see. I also have Ultratech Momento More but that is only for home protection with gear.
Love my 940 too, but benchmade is kinda fucking us over now
@@arizonaranger1?
@@charlessalmond7076 the prices for the newer models are outrageous
That protech runt 🔥 🔥
10:34 🤣🤣🤣
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Idk if it’s a joke but there’s no way that knife is 10 pounds 😂
I didn't have a scale, but it was certainly heavy. The blade and scales are all 100% solid, and you could feel it! -George
I would bet money it is
Really? Wearing a gadsden flag but carry an anti 2a bench made knife?
Like the anti gun Smith & Wesson? Or Colt? Or Springfield? Or Rock River Arms? Or .... .....Hopefully you get the point.
Dizzying camera work…

The guy from Blade HQ was ridiculous. How many times in his lifetime did he need to defend himself with his knives or gun. He’s concerned about being able to cut through leather jackets if he’s attacked. Ridiculous.
Thats Lynn Thompson. The prior owner of Cold Steel. He speaks from experience.
Lynn Thompson is about as real as they come. Man went head-to-head with a wild water buffalo just to test one of his company's spears. Lotta these people are pencil-pushers, make no mistake. Lynn is not.
a ten pound folding knife is a waste of material time and everyhing else involved
Pretty much like climbing Everest or putting man on the moon. Sometimes it's just because you can. Take it for what it is - a folly or a frippery. Please have a nice day.
no it isn’t. it’s made a few people happy. do i need 40 knives? no. but im happy to have them and any haters can get effed
It's funny, let people enjoy things..
@11:45 That looks like an Arcform Theory
I love how all these guys are getting into regular knife fights..
Well, when you are carrying that much weight you can't outrun anybody.
