That kershaw BAREKNUCKLE is amazing. I love those scales and the fact someone finally used their head and put a thumb stud through the blade- it just makes sense. I love it. One of my favorite kershaw designs/ folder designs period.
@@quintrogers4226 the first Kershaw Emerson i bought was the cqc11k in d2...he literally says " pause the video...drop what you're doing ...and go buy this knife! Now!" I bought it and as soon as I git it in hand , I was like...okay this guy knows his knives. 😎💪
Up to my eyeballs in debt, he is a good salesman. My hat off to him. He even says in the videos, he likes ppl get mad. And still, we watch his videos. Credit where credit is due. And my hat to you for speaking your mind.
True story! I can't tell you how many times I've been watching RUclips about something else, feeling just fine about the knife in my pocket and the state of my collection overall, when Metal Complex comes on talking about some knife that was never even on my radar, or a knife I had previously dismissed, and talks about it in a way that I can't help myself but to go hunt it down and buy it without even an hour of contemplation! He truly is too good. 👍😎
Man you had me going, I clicked on this thinking “how could this be?” I now, however, have to agree that every one of you guys are to blame for making me work more hours than I should just to keep my knife collection growing! Not my fault at all!!!😂😂😂😂
I had a cheap Crescent knife for years. Worked great. Someone borrowed it and it was dull. 5 machines no luck getting an edge back on it. It was Chromaly. I was gonna get the new Dewalt knife but it too was Chromaly. I see alot of new blades being Chromaly. A cheap carbon blade needed to get redone every so often is better than the aggravation of getting a Chromaly blade.
@@apex_alchemy_knives it will have a number then say Cro with a number then Mo in the blades model number in most brands. Chromaly is stronger than steel but not as good as high carbon.
Bareknuckle was an excellent USA made kershaw and it’s a shame it was discontinued. There were a bunch of options when all the dealer exclusives were coming out. As of now I’ve still got the m390/CF and 20cv/orange and will probably never let them go. I’ve followed MC for many years and although I don’t watch all of his videos, he’s an excellent resource if you want a closer look at a knife before buying. Yeah he’s not who I go to for an in depth review as most knives only spend a couple hours in pocket, yeah he’s changed his opinions on stuff like steel and HRC as the popular opinion on the forums changes, and yes he pushes a lot of over seas product. BUT he also still supports USA brands, he is undoubtedly part of the knife industry’s growth, he definitely has put in the work to get where he’s at, and is clearly a good dude all around. So do I love all of MC’s videos, no, but will I continue to support him and what he does, absolutely!
I feel you. I mostly do hrc videos and make my own knives these days. That's what I enjoy...sometimes I need to buy those soul comforting quick bangers that'll hold me over for a minute. This is when I find myself looking to other creators for their table top reviews.
So funny, he does the same to me as well. I now have to get the packages at the door before my wife sees it and yells at me for purchasing another knife.
Complex voice is grating.. but i gotta give him his due..he puts in his work. Complex, neeves, this channel all do a great job at educating while entertaining.

You’re right about the 15 minute length for RUclips knife videos. Any longer than that, and my attention starts to wane. I’m not spending 45 minutes watching a review one knife. I’d rather stream an episode of a TV series.
I've done it. I've done it several times actually. I've watched so much on a single knife that by the time I got it in my hands I was sick of seeing it 🤣🤣🤣
Dude I’ve been watching Metal Complex since he first started with some of his truck videos. Guess how many knives I own😂😂. I have 12 Hinderers alone😂😂😂😂
@@Carnivorous_edc those hinderers will get ya where it feels good. I've been trying to hunt down a 0392 for a minute now. I would've never thought they would be absolutely obsolete a decade later.
What I dislike most about MC aside from the fact that he mocks and hates his subscribers, is that he can’t pronounce his favorite word - aesthetic - which is NOT pronounced “ass-thetic” no matter how many times he says it incorrectly. And this isn’t a tomato/toe-matto thing … there definitely is a correct and incorrect way to say aesthetic and after 7yrs, he still can’t seem to get it right.
Agreed... MC got me back into watching vids on knives again (and therefore lightning my wallet, even if it was mostly gifts for family and friends). The last ones I watched were back in the early 2010's, some dude named Nutnfancy, he did other products as well, but I was only caring about the knives for the most part. I don't remember why but I got a little put off by him for a few reasons and just stopped watching gear vids, altogether... and yeah I just dated myself lol. But 100%, MC is good stuff... his format is steady, his knowledge is broad, his facts and opinions are transparently labeled, and he's just a likeable personality. Since then, Neeves and Outdoor55 are also in my rotation, both good with different aspects, including sharpening, being included in their content. Highly recommend if anyone has read this far lol. FYI, you're pretty entertaining, as well... I will check out some more of your content now! Cheers!
@@tricky48 thank you, but we are mostly hrc videos and I'm a new knife maker, so I'm in a weird transition period. I try to squeeze some sort of humor in when and where I can. Mostly I'm just old , "nutnfancy" old...and I'm half stuck with my primitive ideas and half trying to be open minded enough to still be influenced.
Ok, I have a couple of questions. "How many sandwiches did you eat?" "How slow of eater are you?" "What kind of Chick Fil A doesn't include napkins in their order." Just trying to wrap my head around how you could watch that many videos before you were able to clean your hands.
It may have been more of choice than the ability. If you've never kept your fingers nice and sticky for an hour ...man you only live once 🤣🤣🤣🤣...actually surprised anyone caught it. But proud of you for catching that. 😂😎💪
@@apex_alchemy_knives Oh, I've kept them sticky for over hour an many times.... just never had food involved during those situations. Oh well, I guess I've just lived a sheltered life.
😂 well played Mr alchemy it was mc and his ridiculous collection of at least a few hundred thousand dollars worth of knives that made me a knife addict.. i love the video bro and i respect the clever way to get traffic to your channel i will subscribe 4:17
I actually didn't think this video would do that great 🤣🤣...I expected him to respond eventually but I I figured it'd get a few hundred laughs and it'd be over with. I mostly do hrc test and make my own blades so...I might not be whether you're looking for as far as a subscription is concerned. Glad to have you if you stick around though.
🤣😆 yes MC has the ability to make people spend money! 🤣😆 But when you don't have it in the first place, it makes it even more difficult, so in that aspect, maybe I dislike him a bit too! 😊 But he's also difficult not to like him! I remember almost 5 years ago now, when he was able to have channel members. I was one of the first 5 & still am one. I think it's like 4-6 months short of 5 years! Thanks Billy for sharing! ⚔️👊🏻💥💥
@@nathanjarrell944 right ! 😎 ...I do like dlt simply because they accept PayPal still. Not sure how long that'll last but for now...bad decisions at 6 months no interest 🤣🤣
Lol, I tried to talk as fast as him on this video and literally had to pause and catch my breath like...4 times , no joke. He's fluent though. Natural with it. 😎
@apex_alchemy_knives let's just say at least this addiction is better than some of my old addictions. My Impulsiveness should be studied. He definitely knows how to sell a knife without selling a knife. I like him because he is honest though. He made a couple gas station crap knife videos. I bought one of them specifically because he said not to buy it.
Wow, all nice knives, only have one of those models but now need to look for the others! I really like that Bareknuckle and with the scales and add ons $200 is a very fair price. (Now I hate you for costing me $ LOL!). 😉😊
You've got to at least hate on him for how he says, "Shaman." He probably pronounces the J in, "Jalapeño." Jokes of course, but I definitely prounce the J in, "Jalapeño." 😅
I actually dislike metal complex for real. His videos are not insightful and he doesn't test them. I find him boring. So many better channels with better opinions like Nick Shanna's or Neeves Knives
I respect them all! I test my own , and I don't always get the same results as everyone else, so I don't find as much value in those videos anymore. For instance...for whatever reason...every s90v knife I've ever er owned..has been underwhelming. Maybe it's what I cut that diminishes my experience. All I need from another creator, most of the time...is a good solid look at the knife and to see if it functions in the way that I desire lol.
Yeah if I'm not a real hate video kind of guy. I was going to suggest someone to you...but I can't think of any of the top of my head. Wish you luck though 😎💪

I mostly do hrc test and make my own blades so...I might not be whether you're looking for as far as a subscription is concerned. Glad to have you if you stick around though.
@apex_alchemy_knives i love all knife related content and hrc tests are no exception
You had me, lol! Good job. Sick looking Bareknuckle too!
@@Cyanoblades thanks bro. Pleasure to be at your service
That is the best looking Bareknuckle ever.
@HtownDooDooBrown dude did a good job. I'm proud to own it.
I’m the same way but with Neeves Knives
Love the Belair. Nice knife. MC has cost me a few dollars as well. Thanks
@@jaycorscadden2486 you bet 😎💪
I’m a Spyderco fan, but had to grab a Bel Air as it was on sale. MagnaCut, coated. And it’s a great little slicer👍🏻
I had a feeling that's where the video was going! Lol! I have the same problem. Hahaa
I'm easily influenced! What can I say
When in doubt, blame MC- it worked for me so far.
🤣🤣🫣
🤣😆 yes MC has the ability to make people spend money! 🤣😆 But when you don't have it in the first place, it makes it even more difficult, so in that aspect, maybe I dislike him a bit too! 😊 But he's also difficult not to like him! I remember almost 5 years ago now, when he was able to have channel members. I was one of the first 5 & still am one. I think it's like 4-6 months short of 5 years! Thanks Billy for sharing! ⚔️👊🏻💥💥
@@BolsteredBlades you bet ! Hope you guys have had a great Thanksgiving 😎💪
@@apex_alchemy_knives y'all as well! Hope Courtney is feeling better!
MC is a standup guy
SMKW, Grindworx, and BladeHQ are great
@@nathanjarrell944 right ! 😎 ...I do like dlt simply because they accept PayPal still. Not sure how long that'll last but for now...bad decisions at 6 months no interest 🤣🤣
The struggle is real, my friend 😂
@@rustyshackleford5331 isn't it though? 🤣🤣
I like your videos more.
Well i do appreciate that but we can't deny what he's done for our wonderful community. 😎💪
Good video, thank you. You got a new subscriber today
Everyday I wake up is a good day...but a day I earn a subscriber ...that's a great day. Honored to have you.
Aww hell. Here comes the shunning
@@hdfeltes nahhhhh 🤣🤣
I'm eating a chicken and waffle pizza right now, I'm dying listening to this
@@MBoss3005 🤣 glad you enjoy it. Also I'm getting hungry. Where can one find a chicken waffle pizza ?
@apex_alchemy_knives Hungry Howie's! Honestly not sure if it's a regional pizza chain but it's damn good. 8.5/10
@MBoss3005 we don't have one around here but there's an airport near by
Man I know the feeling. My wife hates him too, she wants me to ban his videos at our house... 🤣❤
@@Chris_In_Texas 🤣🤣🤣
Ha! He’s done it to me too. Natrix, Iridium, Launch 16, Kansept Fenrir and more😅
@@Briancollectsknives oh if you have a launch 16...we're in a club i think 🤔
Damn.. you are sweet on him.. 😂😂
@@anviltongue3278 according to my therapist ...
I also love MC I just wish he would slow down on the caffeine haha
Lol, I tried to talk as fast as him on this video and literally had to pause and catch my breath like...4 times , no joke. He's fluent though. Natural with it. 😎
Ahh... Yes, MC kills my bank account as well.
Kills it in a happy way I'm sure !
@apex_alchemy_knives let's just say at least this addiction is better than some of my old addictions. My Impulsiveness should be studied. He definitely knows how to sell a knife without selling a knife. I like him because he is honest though. He made a couple gas station crap knife videos. I bought one of them specifically because he said not to buy it.
that launch with m4!
@@loosieclocker loving it so far !
Damn You Complex!
@@the_knights_edge tell him about it ! 🤣🤣
@apex_alchemy_knives he definitely is at least partially liable for this financial money pit of a habit...hobby...i meant hobby!
@the_knights_edge 🤣🤣
Wow, all nice knives, only have one of those models but now need to look for the others! I really like that Bareknuckle and with the scales and add ons $200 is a very fair price. (Now I hate you for costing me $ LOL!). 😉😊
@@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo it's metal complex's fault though...🤣🤣
I was talking to my therapist about it…. Lmfao 😂
Glad you spotted the humor 🤣🤣
Got me 😂😂😂 so good video 👌
Thank you 😆
I like his videos. Just hate the intro to them.
You've got to at least hate on him for how he says, "Shaman." He probably pronounces the J in, "Jalapeño."
Jokes of course, but I definitely prounce the J in, "Jalapeño." 😅
I actually dislike metal complex for real. His videos are not insightful and he doesn't test them. I find him boring. So many better channels with better opinions like Nick Shanna's or Neeves Knives
I respect them all! I test my own , and I don't always get the same results as everyone else, so I don't find as much value in those videos anymore. For instance...for whatever reason...every s90v knife I've ever er owned..has been underwhelming. Maybe it's what I cut that diminishes my experience. All I need from another creator, most of the time...is a good solid look at the knife and to see if it functions in the way that I desire lol.
Can’t lie you got me 😅
😎 I was bored and needed attention 🤣🤣
Came for the hate got a glazing, disappointed.
Yeah if I'm not a real hate video kind of guy. I was going to suggest someone to you...but I can't think of any of the top of my head. Wish you luck though 😎💪
Watch GBall he's just as informative so is Aaron from Gideons knives too
@@lymedog3176 agree...I watch them both. Thanks for the recommendation
Lol... great video.. I make buys after some of his video
He gets us all. 🤣
I'm with ya 100%
@@ringaleavo 😎💪
If you have any money left, stop watching knife videos.
@@XrayMike17plus1 🤣🤣🤣 amen 🙏

@@scatterbrain9490 💪
Yep MC is the man!
@@okpop78 the best that's ever done it. I take breaks from all channels but when I come back it smells like grandma's peanut butter cookies 🤣
Lol, I have the same story with Hinder, ZT, Microtech, ect.... Lol. My wife hates him! Lol.
