Who knew that boot makers loved knives so much! We had an epic time at Nicks checking out what everyone was carrying. There were some tried and true favorites and a few surprises mixed up in this epic cobbler pocket check.

It was great having you guys in the shop! Thanks for highlighting our amazing craftsmen! 👊
Not only are these videos interesting, It’s very good free advertisement for the company. I had never heard about Nick’s boots but I’m sold now . Also very cool to see the employees actually wearing their products.
Glad you dug it!
All the spokane pnw boot brands are pretty great and worth looking into Whites, Nicks, Franks and JK if you’re interested
This was brilliant, as someone from England it was nice to have an insight into American industry and workmanship whilst talking to everyday hardworking people.
Anyone's Grandpa would be happy as long is the knife went to someone who cares. Finding my Grandpa's 110 after he passed made be break out in tears. I'll never give it up.
Never👊
wouldn't be surprised if your grandpa has had that knife for a long time. look after that knife and it'll never let your down!
One of the coolest takeaways from this video is that Nicks offers paternity leave to their employees. Says a lot about companies nowadays that do that, not enough do.
Just a tip of the iceberg with the good people and policies they have!
Still waiting for the pair of boots I ordered in October

@Jay M yep. totally crazy consider the fact that paternity leave is normal in most western countries. land of the free I guess...
@@njcranes and if mom is the breadwinner? That's an old fashioned way to look at it.
Pocket Check is absolutely one of the coolest knife related series on RUclips for a LONG, long time! Keep it up, please! Love seeing the diversity, from the old biker with the $20 regular to the young hunter with a $400 masterpiece.
This was awesome! I really love these videos you’ve been doing that showcase both US manufacturers and the craftsman who work there. The “pocket check” is an excellent way to open up the dialogue with the folks your talking to and most of the time I forget I’m even watching a pocket check video because these are so much more than just that. Great job guys and hopefully there’s more to come! Now I’ve just gotta decide which boot I want!
Thank you so much! I love knives and connecting with people so it’s great to combine the two sometimes😁
Looks like a great group of folks building a great product right here in the USA. Love the buck 301 lent mine to my dad 35 years ago and he loved it, he passed 15 years later and I have carried it since
Great people for sure!
Zac! Do a wrist watch check also!! Wearing watches is getting rarer these days , nice to see what professionals are actually wearing everyday
Totally agree, especially as I'm a watchmaker!
I need to learn more about the watch world. Love the addition!
@@zacinthewild totally! People would love to talk about their watches and they wear that just like the knives, it'd be so cool to see what an average joe is enjoying wearing unlike everyone having to wear a rolex or a swiss watch as horologists would have us believe.
@sinkonline I couldn't agree more my friend. As a watchmaker I don't recommend those types of watches and when people ask me what to buy, I always ask what they need it for. I'm just as happy recommending a Casio G-Shock, as something more expensive. In fact for a long time a G-Shock was my main watch. Just like with knives, watches have to be fit for purpose, not just shiny and expensive.
It is great to see people at work. Very interesting from different angles of view. Please continue to do such videos, covering different areas of life and work and knives.
Awesome video. I love seeing kids my age being taught by the old timers for a neat trade!
I could watch this kind of video all day. Seeing what tradesmen gravitate towards. Not hobbyists or collectors, but guys and gals who buy a tool and put it to work! Plus I get to learn a bit about how things are made. Keep it up guys!
I also love seeing what pros actually carry🤘
I bought a pair of Nick's Packers 22-23 years ago and still have them.... a bit tight now but built like a brick "you know what." Fun video!
Only in mine 6 months but hands down the best I’ve had!
Zac this was probably one of the coolest videos you've done. I too love specific trade tools especially hammers. I carry that same raw brass space pen everyday and the reason I love it is, it's small goes right in your pocket then when you open it up and put the cap on top its full size.
Did the astronauts use them?
@@christopherskipp1525 Actually yes, fisher designed their pen for the astronauts. You should look up the history of the pen, if you buy one there's alittle card inside talking about it.
@@jeremyl.7563 OK, thank you.
Always love the pocket checks, and love that you're going to craftsmen who are really using their tools and knives! Please come to Canada!!!!!
Would love to get up to Canada again!
@@zacinthewild Thanks Zac, hope you'll have the opportunitie again soon! All my best wishes to you and yours.
Person that actually carry a cold steel knife. Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Anytime, Anywhere
@@gstearsman you better believe it tough as anything
@@Kyle-bb9zp depending on the week in my pockets is 1 to 3 Cold Steels. My big blade for defense is always going to be a Cold Steel at least 5.5” to 7”.
@@gstearsman what are the big models I like the XL voyager a good do all kinda knife I used to have the XL voyager serated loved it.
@@Kyle-bb9zp Espada XL G10, Rajah 2, Voyager XL the Vaquero full serrated, Voyager XL Tanto full Serrated, Voyager XL clip point combo edge, Hold Out 6” full serrated, Luzon Large, & I know it’s not a 5.5“ to 7” blade but I do cycle through as a big blade my 4max scout.
Love seeing trade specific tools too! Always fun watching pocket check videos!
Every one of those who had a lock-knife would have been classed as a criminal in the United Kingdom and arrested by our heroic police who claim "Only Cowards Carry" - while ironically, they are the most heavily armed carriers in the country...and biggest cowards. 🤔
Love these pocketchecks with people who put tools to good use. ❤ We don't have enough crafts man and woman in this world.
We can always use more makers and doers!
Great group of people working at Nicks. Love these videos Zak! 👍 😃
Awesome. I love stuff like this. Those are the kind of guys who built the civilisation that most people take for granted, and also keep it running every day.
His buck 110 was made when BUCK used good steel 440c. I wish I had one. Nice knife
Nick’s rocks!! Zac, you rock. I type this as I’m wearing one of my many Nick’s. Nothing, and I mean nothing, feels better on your feet or makes you stand taller and firmer in your beliefs!
Zac, you should “drive down the road” to Fireball Tools and do an incredible crossover and collaboration. Anybody that resurfaces an anvil, just ‘cause, should definitely interest you!!
Just wanna throw it out there Madeline is drop dead gorgeous ❤❤❤
There's nothing better than handmade!
Enjoying these types of videos. Cool to see how it’s done plus tools of the trade.
Zac is such a fucken wholesome and well travelled human being - love these off the cuff interviews showcasing genuinely awesome human interactions. Much love to ya mate!
Love those boots !! Quality made !!
Great video ! Look forward to your videos every week ! Thanks Zac
Means a ton!👊
I love this! Real people, real boots, real knives!
Man, I have the same Winchester knife Alex has. Amazing to see it on the wild. It was one of my first knives. I currently use it around the house for utility purposes. I love it and it has a lot of meaning for me.
So cool!
I clip my flashlight to my front right belt loop for my everyday carry. Saves pocket space, easily accessible and never turns on by it self!
ok i'm glad the damascus knife at 13:30 got named i saw that in other videos and have been curious it's so unique looking.
Hay Zac, thanks for checking out Nicks boots .I work at a Brewery in Tampa, Fl, and have been eyeing Nicks Boots for a while now. You definitely have sparked my interest to finally get a pair. If you're ever in Tampa , stop by for a cold one and check out Cigar City Brewing. From Jay The Welder. Brew On America 🇺🇸!!!
Milwaukee's 2105 pen flashlight is pretty good too. They know what they're doing when it comes to pocket tools
Awesome video Zac and Jamie. My two favorite things knives and American made boots. After I saw your video Zac with your alpaca organizer I bought one on Etsy from a Ukrainian lady that makes awesome pocket organizers in a bunch of different sizes, on the video you mentioned wanting one that can hold a note pad . She shows one that can fit a fields note. I’ve had mine a few months now and love it. They have a ton of different options. Thank for awesome videos
I’m so dumb, the Etsy company is Leattweed. Sorry about that
Thanks for the tip!
Dude carries a Benchmade Contigo! Nice! Its one of my favorite EDC blades in my collection as well!
I've had that exact Winchester knife for years now and I can't believe I saw it here lol
Zac you do great interviews I always look forward to these
Thank you so much!🙏
6:30 ~ I recognize that hammer! I know that Etsy seller. Fellow Ukrainian. Bought from him couple of times in the last several months. Small world.
The hits keep coming guys thanks
Really enjoyed this video. That’s one tall friend you made. Thanks for sharing this man.
Wow, these videos are a breath of fresh air. I've only seen 2 so far, but they are fast moving and interesting as well as entertaining. Very well done. You have a gift. (at least in my humble opinion.)
Nice Buck 301, Zac!
A bucket list boot for me .
So cool! That was fun.
I'm with you on loving trade-specific tools. It's neat to see the little things that make a particular task go smoother. Right tool for the job.
Great video Zac thanks! That 110 looked like a spyderco Mcbee in Nathan’s hands
One of the coolest videos ever man! I’m in need of a new pair of boots as well and will definitely be checking these out now.
I love that the healer was using a roofing hammer.
Great boots, great knives, great hammer & great people.! Cheers Zac.
Hey oh!🤘
There’s nothing better than fine crafted foot wear. I spent too much time trudging around in army boots (and my body is paying for it now) so I don’t mind spending a little extra for quality. Definitely be checking out a pair of Nicks in the near future.
Wow, what a great company! I know where I am getting my next pair of boots.
Thanks, David!
Great to show the brand and the folks behind them.
I live 120 miles from post falls. I have never made it to Buck knives. Guess its time for a road trip!!!
Nice video! The guy with the Crooked River Mini is a legend!
I’m watching it from Ukraine right now and this is the last place where I thought I would hear someone mentioning my country. Nice video, love this format, big fan!
Awesome I really enjoyed it. I just recently subscribed to your show and your knowledge and personality drew me in
I couldn't live without my Buck 55. It's small, but it's just my fave EDC 😁
Definitely gonna be saving up for a pair after watching this video. Some great looking boots.
Yep that milwaukee fastback goes with me most places.
I work at the sportsmans in spokane and I sold that guy his benchmade, really cool video!
the one healer had what looks like an old school drywall hammer. I use one every once in a while when i do arch way installation of drywall. those were used back when drywall was installed with nails and not screws
Lol these guys are all straight country. Love it though, they all seem like great people. Well made boots, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in!
I have 2 pairs of Nicks on order. Been waiting 6 months. Im so looking forward to getting them.
Good looking boots
Never heard of this company until now and now I need a pair bad
I have also bought cool stuff from Etsy out of Ukraine, and have taught English to some Ukrainian refugees who had (or still have!) thriving Etsy businesses. They've really jumped on Etsy over there as a platform for selling all kinds of interconnected stuff (antique things like the hammer featured in this video, hand-crafted items, etc.). Good way to support them!
This is a great video concept. Nick's boots are the best
I eventually was waiting for a:
"Hey, just checking around. What are you carrying today?" 😃
*pulls out gun*
12:01 I used to carry my first knife in my coin pocket too! 🥰
(It also hides well in there, in addition to having your other pockets free and not having to squeeze your hand into the pocket while scraping your hand on your knife lol. Nowadays I carry a lighter in my watch/coin/fifth pocket, plus my smaller and slimmer secondary knife, dedicated for more filigree tasks.)
I kinda hate how small the pocket gets when you clip your main knife (not a small and nimble knife) in the regular front pocket. Every time I reach for my phone I am growling a little bit inside.
Such a cool trade. Awesome video. God bless them all
Such a cool trade! I wanted to stay and learn it all😁
Glad you got up here to Spokane! Hope you got a chance to check the area out some! Love your videos guys!
Great video Zac really enjoy the pocket checks
Another enjoyable video. Well done.
The "tool" @ 9:30 is a shingle hatchet made for applying cedar shingles
I like this pocket check because by and large the knives are no big deal. Really get a blue collar working people kinda vibe from most of the knife choices. At the end of the day it's just a tool to cut stuff no need for bling! Also... Nicks boots didn't know they existed now their on my list for next pair of boots!
No nonsense hard working tools are my jam💪
this is such an awesome idea! id like to see more of these types of videos where you see what the tools of the trade are for random professions and what edged tools they use...its a great way to as a maker to find cool tools that might be useful to you as well....plus since youre not tied to any company thats selling knives, it wont be a big deal if theyre using a fastback or something lol
Awesome video! Keep up the good work!
Better than a pocket check at a knife company where the employees are more or likely told or forced to carry knives of that company, this is way more genuine.
We find a good variety at most of the factories too! But they are also knife nerds😁. I love seeing the actual users and abusers.
@@zacinthewild Thanks for responding! It just nice to see when employers welcome a variety in their product or are sure enough of it that there's never a mandatory branded carry.
Also, I saw Ben at Blade Show Texas and man..what a genuinely great human being he is. I was starstruck! He never stopped from talking to people every time I went by his booth and he seemed to be just like he was in y'all's previous employers videos, pleasant surprise!
I’ve been to Nicks, but not in the factory.👍🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
I used to do the nails in the mouth thing as a young roofer. My Boss hated it. I've long outgrown that.
I live the challange Jamies has keeping the tall guy and Zac in the same frame.
Amazing as Always
I've never handled a Buck 110, I must admit it looks a lot bigger than I thought it was.
Hahaha!! I pulled up the transcript to try and figure out what the tool was at the 16min. mark. Now I really want a Pizza Pirate Tool, lol! On New Years Eve I was watching the ball drop and someone turned on captions and for like 30 minutes straight I was laughing at some of the stuff it came up with. Thanks for the extra laugh. Best wishes
I've had a Swiss Champ on my belt for 43 years, and I'm always surprised at how few other men carry it. Of course I often carry a toadsticker too, but I can't let go of the toolmeister.
Old pro flooring guys did that with the tacs. They’d through a handful in their mouth and spit them out to use them. Called them spit-tacs
@9:24 that's a roofing/carpenters hammer/hatchet. It's originally for getting up under shingles/slicing sheetrock and setting nails.
23:31 'A lot of brass, I'm noticing.'
23:35 'Super light weight.'
Me: 'But brass is heavy!'
That hammer the healer had, the guy who didn’t know buck was down the street actually had a roofing hatchet or also called a shinglers hammer. That’s why the head was waffled.
Well the delivery here is kinda clunky but it came to a close and i was starting to hope there were ten more personnel to show us their gear. How about the chap who is a bonafide knife maker! His knives that he made are really top quality and his knowledge of steel is better than most foundaries on you tube. All round very interesting and a great video. Great collection of hardware.
This was an awesome video! And I had just so happen to be looking for a pair of good work boots again. I’ve worn my wolf it rains damn near flat.
No way I have the first cold steel knife, I purchased it years ago and couldn’t remember what it was called so thanks for that! Great video
A ranger band would be great to attach the field notes.
Watching these videos: "man, I should get a Buck." "Man, I should get a pair of Nick's"
Great video, I honestly don't know if it is possible for you to make a bad video. I love seeing the older knives, it would be cool to find some people to interview to tell the story of their grandpa's knives or any old knives they have
Thanks man! Great idea too👊
I have the same model buck or very similar with the same blades and the hammer cutting nail symbol on the side. I bought mine in the early 90's , and made a heavy leather slip sheath which I later put a belt loop onto, and carried on my right hip so it didn't dig in when I was riding my Motorbike
The heeler kind of creeps me out 😂
Super-fun and interesting video! Great work!
Nice people nice boots.
I believe The hammer/hatchet you were asking about is callled drywall hatchet
Love all your videos
