Does anyone else get really annoyed when they see videos of people spinning these around their thumbs, or just putting their thumb in the ring in general? Cause it really grinds my gears

If you get That cooking spray in the pivot points of a folding knife you will have issues. It will eventually break down and get gummy.

The Boker Harsey AF knife looks cool... but what explains its almost $500 price tag?

Its pronounced boo-ie not bow-ie. For fucks sake stop pronouncing it wrong.

A fighting knife that no one can afford to fight with.

My father was a resistance auxiliary. I have his knife now. I will have a closer look and see If I can identify the version. I don't recollect any markings.

Cover the Blackhawk Tatang from MW2 please

I don't know i rather have a Kay-Bar it's what i have always used and so far it's never failed me . At least not sense 1969 anyhow.

very informative. Please bring a video on the armor-piercer, of which CS also made a modern referral in shape of the "Frenzy"..a favorite oversized specimen I love to carry.

Tantos are perfect for being rammed through another samurai's helmet. I blew an Xmas on a Cold Steel Master Tanto when I was 15 and that knife has been a WORKHORSE!

Bro I am From Nepal and its not "kukri" , Its "Khukuri"

440 steel, your serious? 😂

Funny thing that i thought maybe i should check once again, if you uploaded. Nice to see you have done so!

I've never watched your channel before, very informative and well researched. There is not a lot of information documentary material on Tanto which is a shame. I own several authentic Tanto from Kamakura to Edo period. I appreciate your video and congratulate you on a very good effort. Many thanks

I count myself as lucky. I own the Cold Steel Recon Tanto, which I bought way back in the 80's, when it was made from Carbon V steel. The next Tanto I received as a gift is the Hanwei - Tactical Tanto, which is more in line with an actual Tanto, but with a 5160 High Carbon spring steel blade. Yet it still has that copper, although I think the one on mine is brass, sleeve. Now I cannot take mine apart, but it is the traditional point. I've never really carried it, since it is more or less a self defense knife. At least the one I have, with an 11 inch cutting edge.

I'm considering a Daimyo FF Katana 29" Gold Eagle from dynasty Forge. Any advice?

I don't fight with mine so i use that notch to strip Yaupon lashings!

I just wanna 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾 one time with a switchblade

That cho is there to stop the flow of blood drops of blade to reach the handle. The drops of gets dripped from that cho and doesn't reach the handle hence preventing it from getting slippery.

I was sure you would touch on the ninja to. Either way excellent work.

Expensive knife about$ 600. but a nice addition to anyone’s collection

Very good work James as always!🔪🤙

Very similar to the Eastern European & Persian blade systems I practice. Which usually consists of a saber, short sword, a dagger & usually some form of small utility knife worn/used as a set.

I'm highly critical of educational material like this, and though I hate to say it, most of what's out there is fraught with misinformation. Yours, though, is quite a good presentation. That a few instances of funny pronounciation are the main things that stuck out, is a miracle. Bravo, my friend. You hit a bunch of points that seem to be unknown or misunderstood, by... maybe a majority of people in the blade community. Thanks for your careful research and presentation. 👍👍

My EDC as a Cpo

Regarding curved blades, the differential heat treatment frequently used in Japanese blades will curve a blade forged straight.

I was hoping that you would mention the special armor-piercing class of tanto called "Yoroi-dōshi". They can have blades every bit as spikey and stabby as any European rondel or ballock dagger. Otherwise, this was a real treat! Thank you!

Please do the Higonokami Knife. I got mine from Americana Pipedream the other day and wanna learn more

love ur vids man, thank u!

What about SAK (Swiss Army Knife)? I think it would be really nice to see you talking about it. By the way, great content! Keep it up!

Made to kill people in w11

All hail stabbers

The accompanying advertisement for 'adjustable glasses' is misleading. The product advertised is pure rubbish! Don't get sucked in.

I don’t carry a folder for social purposes without a wave. Period. My favorite is the Spyderco PARA MILITARY 2 G-10 EMERSON. This is my daily carry folder as a backup to my fixed blade. I so wish that the Yojimbo was made with a wave!!

Ke-rham-bit bro its a karaembit from pronounciation

Have bowie. Native Americans call it long knives. Jim Bowies knife was radioactive. Made from a meteor. To prove it check out his grave. That's why @ the Alamo he was bed ridden. His hip on the side that he carried the knife became bone deteriorated. ( I WISH SOMEONE COULD CHECK IT OUT!)!!!!@

is there any versions of this in modern quality to find ? with screws

Cool vid!. I still have my Grandfathers WW2 Bolo Kokoda Machete. It is an amazing tool. Very high quality steel. The handle is the only con. It is a bit small and slippery. But yeah still a great piece of history....

Probably got bit burned up in the Alamo why I had to get what happened to it it was knife and everything else that he owned

That weird notch by the handle is there to serve as a shock absorber for poorly crystallized steel, meaning that there were normalization processes that yielded blades that would break, but with the introduction of the notch with the extruded center tip, any energy transferred down the blade, could be mitigated. Propper normalization and heat treatment found today negates the need for this notch. Blades today can be heat treated to a point where you can determine the blades tonal harmonization, meaning you tap the blade, and when done correctly it will "sing" or "hum" at its attuned frequency relevant to the material composition of the steel aloy. You hang the blade from a string or cord to allow for material vibrations, then tap the blade with a drum stick, if the blade hums you heat-treated your kukri long enough, if not, try again.

Faca sinistra 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡👊👊👊👊

I bought my father one a couple years ago for his birthday because I know he loves knives and other self defense tools like that. He was murdered a little over a week ago so I took it back. I’ll probably use it for camping trips and cooking and other things like that

Talks too much.

Canadians were infamous for raiding parties

I really enjoyed your format. Very ordered

Helo 🙏🙏🙏
