On the display of sharp objects being censored - our latest video had our teenage kids and us (their parents) expertly open and close our plain old pocket knives - once each. RUclips gave us a 'strike' and we were shut down for seven days for having "minors involved in a dangerous activity." Here I am thinking it was safer than just about anything else I let my kids do - cutting the grass, climbing a tree, riding a dirt bike, crossing the street, weedeating, petting a strange dog, etc... So, yes, we signed the petition and we are interested in pushing for some common sense! Thank you for talking about it!
I just wanted to you have a keychain tool you didn't have to fear loosing like a discontinued Squirt. The tool is called the Nextool Mini-Sailor Lite. Cheers, Dominic
Recently managed to find myself an SOG Crosscut - exactly this feeling. I love it and if I lose it, I know I'll never find another one. I'm glad to see that multitools in this size seem to be making a comeback.
Wow, thats an incredible deal on those Lander 1s. Side note...finally got my hands on a Cedar...oh I mean SENDY....Love it brother, what a great knife.
Congrats on new series, it’s nice to see Austin back after a long time. With your and Zac’s content you can really see rember why we all used to love bhq videos. It would be nice to invote Kurt as well. Keep up with great work and thank you for entertaining us!
Man, Kurt would be a perfect guest to have on, and I don’t think that any of us would mind seeing him on and his sausage hands. I really miss those old BHQ episodes. Zac, Kurt, and Ben. “Whaaaaaaaaaat iiiiiiisss up-guys!?!?” Golden era in being into the hobby in any way, imho. Hey Knafs- Can we have an episode with Kurt and/or Zac? Would be a legendary episode!!!
Ive taken my TSA compliant leatherman Style PS in my bag through TSA pre-check line atleast 6 times now and have not yet been stopped to prove it doesnt have a blade. Just a datapoint for tsa compliant multitools.
Maybe when you release the Lulu XL , which I would like you to name the “Lululu” because it is 50% bigger, you put something in the skeletonized handle.
Who knows, my guess is IG will be around for less than 5 years. I'd be surprised if something else didn't come along by then. Love this series guys! Keep it up!
I've used the slow down/speed up RUclips feature when I was teaching using learning songs. The kids paid closer attention and had a lot of fun when it was super slow or on rap god mode lol.
I always liked seeing those edc pics with opened maxpedition pouches. They always look well organized and just thought it was cool to see what all people could fit inside of those.
Another fun, relaxed show! I am eagerly awaiting the day Knafs releases its own sheepsfoot or wharncliffe or reverse tanto; as a worrywart, I absolutely love how Knafs makes replacement parts easily obtainable!
4 episodes in, and it looks like you guys might get picked up for a full season. Also, Instagram prediction to end on the night of the next presidential election
Hello from France ! We have the same issues here (with Instagram AI, where should the french knife community should gather, what organisation/guild/federation should bring together all the knife makers, etc). Honnestly, living in a country where knives are simply forbidden on public spaces unless you have a "reasonnable motive" according to the law, it's quite challenging to find people that shows their love for knives without being looked at like creeps, so we kinda have to live in the shadows and big events here are of course difficult to make. We could really need people like yourself to show the french public that knives are primarly tools and sometimes pieces of arts and not weapons, or at least not more weapons than hammers or screwdrivers and that the community is made of nice and kind people. Thanks for your hard work, I discovered you when you were still at Blade HQ and followed you since (in a not creepy way). You're one of the two people who inspired me to become a journalist specialized in knives stuffs, so big thanks for that ! By the way if you're interested in an interview for the frenchies, it would be really nice to make that happen ;)
Vigtig vs. Wild by Boker Solingen comes with the pocket in the handle and coin-operated screws. MagnaCut, German-made, natural micarta. $165 😂You guys have some serious competition.
I don’t like to do much social media. But you should consider adding a knife photo of the week segment. I would love to send in photos via an email. But I’m sure others would use multiple platforms.
Great move on that 14C28N Lander price drop. I have been eyeing it for both the steel and contouring on the scales but was on the fence at the pricepoint. Hard to pass now at $65.
I’m thinking some 3-D printed Ben & Austin bobble heads would be hilarious! Sadly, I think Instagram will outlive us all. It’s a waterslide away from becoming a porn or OF type site. The women on there are pushing the boundaries of Instagram’s no nudity policies. Lastly, love what you guys are doing. Top notch!
Another great Knafs @ Nite! Good stuff gentlemen. I used to have a squirt before I gifted it away. Great little tool. Got my first Lander 1 (a blem) at the Knafs store last Friday. The action is so smooth and the little blem laser etch and topo pocket clip are awesome. Not sure why it is a blem lol. I hate the insta AI. Hopefully it’s around for a lot longer and they get the AI fixed.
I think Instagram will be around for a long time though only if they fix the issue with knife & gun content being blocked and not shared properly. I give it 2 years and it either goes away or continues for a very long time.
Here is something that I think is somewhat related to the knife censorship subject. Amazon will not ship pocket knives to some states including Massachusetts where I live. I have bought folding pocket knives from many retail knife stores and manufacturers (including yours) with no problems. I have successfully bought kitchen knives from Amazon but any pocket knife will have a large red warning saying that it will not ship to my location. Keep this in mind if you ever think about selling through them.
Have similar issues in New York State, to the point where I refuse to buy knives (tools in general, if I can avoid it) from them. My biggest frustration is the absolutely WILD inconsistency of it. I've seen knives that are illegal to carry without some kind of hunting/fishing/LEO/millitary license - totally fine shipping me those. I've seen manual-open knives with blades below 3" that they will not ship to me. The most frustrating to me was when I found several knives that they would be willing to ship to me in some colors/materials but not others. As if putting a black coating on the blade would change the legality of it. People always make excuses for Amazon when I bring this up, but personally, I'm not interested. I'd rather support sellers who don't give me a hard time.
I signed the petition. Have you been to San Jose/silicon valley? The 12 square miles where approximately 40% of the world’s wealth is concentrated. That’s a lot of power.
Nice! The petition is a nice idea, but realistically speaking (unless we do as you say) and come together as ONE organized group and equal 30-50k at least, I think we can get METAs attention. Otherwise, we have a case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians that wanna save the community or fight meta. If META is going to recognize anything, it would be organization and order. Maybe one day! Excellent video as always, we appreciate your time and energy you guys put into these!
My guess is instagram will be around for a long time even if people stop using it, kinda like what's happened to Snapchat, it exists and we know like one person that still uses it, but we question why. Also the shark is sick
RUclips also hates blade hq and pocket knives. I can't turn on notifications to be updated on new RUclips videos from the BHQ channel because it "violates coppa"
Strange that hasn't been my experience with other knife channels. I haven't tried Blade HQ maybe I should try that next to see if I can replicate the issue.
By the way... i've been buying stuff from knafs every few days now lol... Knafs lander 1 & green compound... Tool burrito & lunar lander 1 scales... & the newest product, the 4mm bit driver. & i will buy more!
Wow Dudes I did not know this was going on with Facebook and Instagram ....!! However this does not surprise me at all. I completely deleted my Facebook account about 8 years ago and have never looked back. THANKS for the video here > 🙂
I started my Insta as knife page now i just post whatever haha I dont get it cuz they show n promote ppl selling themselves ppl bare achiss everywhere but a useful tool is no Dice hahah I Love and support Yall!!
Thank guys for reading my comment, 2 things my name is "pHantom" with an H , 2nd I have ungoverned ADHD and I get it. it's just when Like something (as I do with y'alls show) I just like to have the taffy stretched, you know what I mean...LOL Love what y'all are doing and as all ways still a true fan!
Great vid - insta will be around till the end of time - great thing is we all know how to follow the ebbs n flows of Censorship and where the most content is - y'all killing the game 💥💥👌🎯
I take somewhat of a different view on having only one knife rights group. I'd like to see them work together, but putting them together to make one group just means they only have to shut one group down. I'd take a more federalist type of approach. Work together, sure, but everybody can focus on their specific thing on the day to day and are still free to work with o e another when it calls for it.
Omg 😱 I want the shark 🦈! Instagram will be around for 10 or so years… maybe a 100… but here’s the thing, If you created the Knafs Moonmaid ( 🧜♀️ Mermaid) it will ALWAYS BE AROUND. It will outlast all forms of social media. ( Another shameless plug for Knafsmaid from Kendal C.)
the comment about talking to fast is hilarious as I watch youtube at 1.75 speed🤣 The mousepads are easy to clean in the sink with a brush and dawn dish soap
Thank you Ben, Austin and Knafs CO, for featuring my leatherwork, I couldn't be more proud and happier now.
Cheers from Andrew with Sharp Leather.

Matt Fitz here, Fitz Blitz Extreme Adventure Gear coming soon!👀👀
Wow, thats an incredible deal on those Lander 1s.
Side note...finally got my hands on a Cedar...oh I mean SENDY....Love it brother, what a great knife.
Finally got my sendy too! ill be taking it to Italy in a cpl weeks
Blue denim Micarta with red Knafs logo would be incredible.
I'm in for blue denim micarta and anything.
Donated to Knife Rights for the first time. Much respect for everyone working to update our laws!

Maybe when you release the Lulu XL , which I would like you to name the “Lululu” because it is 50% bigger, you put something in the skeletonized handle.
i honestly love these videos. BHQ hosted by you 2 actually got me into edc knives. didnt think it would come up again but im happy
Love watching this series. Hopefully Instagram will get things sorted out. With all the stuff on Instagram I’m surprised that knives are an issue
Who knows, my guess is IG will be around for less than 5 years. I'd be surprised if something else didn't come along by then. Love this series guys! Keep it up!
honestly love the pacing. keeping it under 30 mins is perfect for me to time my workouts while i watch the videos
14 years keep up the great work guys
I hate all these social media platforms with a passion, and this is just another reason why.
That Bruce Almighty reference got me 😂😂😂
😅

Knife live at in our hearts ❤️
Feels so good not to have any social media besides RUclips
Yes! DCA and KNAFS
Signed the petition, thanks for sharing it.
Instagram will exist just like MySpace where all knife content will eventually live😂love the knafs at knite🙌

Great to see and hear your banter of the knife industry once again.
I signed the petition. Have you been to San Jose/silicon valley? The 12 square miles where approximately 40% of the world’s wealth is concentrated. That’s a lot of power.

Maybe one day! Excellent video as always, we appreciate your time and energy you guys put into these!
Been loving this new show from you guys! Very fun and cool to here your thoughts on stuff in the industry!
Love the show! Great deal on the Landers.
Unfortunately, Instagram will probably be around for a long time.
Instagram will outlive quite a few apps, but I sure hoping the knife photos keeping coming😂
Lander 3 scales in contoured micarta, please! Just like the Lander 1 "Sandy"!
I give Instagram a week. (Just kidding, but it's been fun watching you guys develop this show - it feels like catching up!)
Great show once again. I think that Instagram will course correct and never go away.
My guess is instagram will be around for a long time even if people stop using it, kinda like what's happened to Snapchat, it exists and we know like one person that still uses it, but we question why.
Also the shark is sick

I get notifications from BHQ
Totally need to have DCA on👍👍
Heyyy! Thanks for the shout out Carl! Always a fun time talking with you! … as for instagram… 4.27 years left 8:50
Think we need a look behind the scenes in the Ship Shape Sharpening Shack
Instagram has at least another 15-20 years before it becomes about as relevant as MySpace.
28:20 Banana Katana!
Is there any talk of a more budget Lander 2? Maybe FRN scales and Nitro V or 14C28N steel?
I think Instagram will be around for my grandchildren's grandchildren to enjoy lol😅😅
Don't think Instagram is going anywhere. However, maybe we will see the user base shift like what happened with Myspace.
I really wish i could've been at bladeshow & got a $2 lander 2...
By the way... i've been buying stuff from knafs every few days now lol...
Knafs lander 1 & green compound...
Tool burrito & lunar lander 1 scales...
& the newest product, the 4mm bit driver.
& i will buy more!
Love it guys! Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for the content guys. Instagram will be around for a long while as many other subject areas use it regularly. I am saying 2 decades.
The "one clip" clip got me good lol😂😂😂😂
Fitzgerald Herold would be a cool name for a Fitz knife I think. ☝🤓
10 years for sure!
I give Instagram another 123 months. Thanks for the entertainment.
I still rock a blue Leatherman Squirt here and there, love it, Ben let me know if you want to do a trade someday 😊
BAP would be a cool knife name 😂
I think IG will last as long as Facebook wants it!!
Those TPU scales look excellent!
I would love to see the pens on Knafs website.
I'm doing this on ig... just playing it pic and post... day by day.
Instagram I think will have a shelf life of 25 years but will decrease in popularity over the next 10
Irony of the social media whitewashing, before watching this video I had the upcoming rover lander show up on my feed very prominently on RUclips!
Instagram will join the 27 Club an cease to exist in 2037
Wow Dudes I did not know this was going on with Facebook and Instagram ....!! However this does not surprise me at all. I completely deleted my Facebook account about 8 years ago and have never looked back. THANKS for the video here > 🙂
I started my Insta as knife page now i just post whatever haha I dont get it cuz they show n promote ppl selling themselves ppl bare achiss everywhere but a useful tool is no Dice hahah I Love and support Yall!!
I like these segments. I don't use Instagram but I don't appreciate anything that restricts any artisan culture 👿
I personally don't really care about knives on instagram bc in my country is banned so go there like once or twice a week
Thank guys for reading my comment, 2 things my name is "pHantom" with an H , 2nd I have ungoverned ADHD and I get it. it's just when Like something (as I do with y'alls show) I just like to have the taffy stretched, you know what I mean...LOL Love what y'all are doing and as all ways still a true fan!
And i REALLY miss knives live!!!!! That would happen every year!!!! To help Mr.doug ritter and all the hard work he does for knife rights!!!
Great vid - insta will be around till the end of time - great thing is we all know how to follow the ebbs n flows of Censorship and where the most content is - y'all killing the game 💥💥👌🎯
Keep it up! The channel is fun and informative. 🎸🔪
Instagram will turn into a towering VR/AR amalgam of knife free content, that ends up spirit bombing endless harmless content into the infinite void.
So edgy of you...
It will last only about this year
It would be cool if y’all started making colored blades of all colors. Like ceracote?
i see people unalive themselves in the most gruesome accidents every day on IG… how can a knife be a problem?!
Unalive?
Instagram will be around until the zuck figures out a way to develop a tan
Instagram will be around precisely 7 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes, and 59 seconds longer!
Winner Winner chicken dinner!!! Hey @cmays555 please email us at info@knafs.com so we can send you the wallet! We look forward to hearing from you!
@cmays555 if I dont hear from you by Sunday the 28th of July 2024 I will have to pick another winner.
I am replying to this comment…thanks!
Oh…email sent as well! Thanks again!

Your speed is great. I watch you on 1.5.
Instagram will be around for less than 10 more years for sure.
I love you for what y’all are doing great keep it up!! I think Instagram will be around until 2059
Omg 😱 I want the shark 🦈! Instagram will be around for 10 or so years… maybe a 100… but here’s the thing, If you created the Knafs Moonmaid ( 🧜♀️ Mermaid) it will ALWAYS BE AROUND. It will outlast all forms of social media.
( Another shameless plug for Knafsmaid from Kendal C.)
10 years and we will have another ice age. 😂
Instagram will be around for another ~10yrs then become obsolete
Instagram will last longer than all of us because that's how Skynet will post its official communications to surviving humans.
I honestly think instagram and "Meta" are going to self regulate themselves out of existence. I think itll take a decade to end.
IG has got probably another 2ish years
Haircut helped. Carry on.
I want one of those sharks and a 3d pen
Instagram? Two, maybe three months.
No 3d printed Duane the rock lobster. Some one please design it and print it.
the comment about talking to fast is hilarious as I watch youtube at 1.75 speed🤣 The mousepads are easy to clean in the sink with a brush and dawn dish soap
