Man this video is just toying with my emotions 😳 I miss my dose of JT’s knife life. You always helped me think outside the box and I always love your take on a knife it gives me a much better appreciation for the knife. I really hope all is well with you and the family. This video put a smile on my face and thanks for the tag I will start working on it tomorrow 👌🏻🍻🍻

Great choices bud. I love the ZT0393. Good seeing you on here again. Thanks for doing the tag. Glad you had fun.

I like the list because it’s not at all the “regulars” by any means. Love it!

“Hello out there” gonna miss that man

Some really awesome choices! Picking 5 would definitely be tough lol. Great video buddy and hope you and the family are well.

Now that’s a fantastic top 5! Was surprised the ZT took place over the 943 or mini grip, but I totally get the reference for the girlfriend who just draws you in!! Thanks for the tag and to the Benchmade archive we shall go!!

This is why I miss your vids - You're a knife guy's, knife guy.

Thanks alot JT it's really gonna be a viod when you are gone. But I understand why you are leaving and respect your decisions. Thanks for all the years of interesting videos and commentary. Life is full of curve balls and wonderful things too. I hope you and your family have a great life, And find all the wonder and joy you deserve..

I think it's great you give your genuine opinion and love. I had no idea the Scylla had such thick liners. That's reassuring.

Great vid👍 good to hear you again. Totally agree with the 943, it’s a life keeper👍

Cool set of knives brother, nothing too unobtainable and all with a strong own identety.

Nice knives. My top 5 are my XM-18 3.5 Slicer Green G-10 Bronze Stonewash, Recon 1 Satin S35VN, Buck 110 2021 Legacy Edition, Spyderco Manix 2 LW Spy27, and my GEC 93 in Cocobolo.

I just got tagged to do one of these … these are really cool choices.. bringing me way back. I had fun watching others do this tag.

I'm so glad you did this video . Love your content!

Nice to see you really use your knives.

Great choices😊👍

A knife that, when you hold it upside down, looks like a squid makes me happy.

Thank you ever so much for this JT, I really enjoyed how you talked about these 5 (or 6) knives that make you happy! The number one was indeed a shocker lol! This video is now on my list of '5 videos that make me happy'! My top 5 would be: - The Benchmade Anthem you graciously sold to me - The TRM Shadow I very recently acquired - The very first 940 I bought (the OG with green aluminum scales) - My Benchmade 943 (yes!) - The first and so far only knife I bought together with my gf, a Boker Plus Decade slipjoint Take care and have a great day JT!

Really enjoy your channel BTW... Great video which got me thinking. 5 Knives that make me happy 5. Kizer Lieb - a fun little knife that I can carry when dressed up. Super cool and super sharp. 4.Civivi Pintail - S35V blade, in a smaller form factor knife. Fit and finish is great. I show this to friends when I want to introduce them to Civivi knives. 3.Kershaw Link - I have a few of them in different configurations, but I always smile when I put one in my pocket to carry. 2.Kershaw Knockout - Perhaps the knife I've carried the most over the years. It just ends up in my pocket every once in a while to make me happy. 1. ZT 0357 - I have both the plain and the blackwash versions of this knife. At this moment it may be (for me) my all-time favorite EDC, perfect knife and my second favorite ZT. I just love this knife! ** My favorite ZT is the 0770cf...BTW

Not surprised to see a couple Benchmades on the list. Funny enough the small alum Ripple was my first knife purchase to get into EDC about 6+ years ago. I had a CRKT M16 from when I was 16 (8 years before that) so flippers and CRKT were my jam. Shortly after carrying I realized how important the clip is and sent me down my road of pocket clip snobery. My knife that brings me the most joy has to be my ZT0920TS. Something about ZT quality on the more exciting styles that is just really hard for anyone to top. Glad you posted a response to this one.

Like the ZT 393 or the Warnie Version! It's one of the best looking knife out there! Greetings from Austria JT!

Good to see another one of your vids! As always, keepin’ it real!

Five (or six) that make me happy? In no particular order, but each has its story as to why they make me happy.: My Cudeman MT-5 with Dymondwood handles. My Opinel No7 (Carbon) and my No13. My Kanetsuni Seki 'Asobi' (see Cedric and Ada review LOLZ) My Morakniv 'Original' with laminated steel, Birchwood handle, and leather sheath. It came shaving sharp out of the box, has done a LOT of wood carving but still comes up razor-like after a strop. And I guess my Civivi Praxis because I ordered it from BladeHQ when it was made available and was one of the first Aussies to get their hands on one. The action is just so fidget-inducing.

Kizer flashbang. Spyderco shaman or pm2. Giantmouse biblio. Fox vox core. Benchmade barrage. ZT 0562cf. Spyderco Smock. (In no particular order). The shaman and pm2 r kinda interchangeable. Plus I put a "6th" knife up there 2. Lol

So glad to see your 5 I knew the 943 would be in the mix the ZT was a surprise the Grip was a given LOL For me my 5 would be Anthem, mini Adamas, mini crooked river, Reate tribute and the we upshot all subject to change 5 is tough 10 is a number I could work better with. Haha Thanks for sharing JT glad you've got some more content coming for us my friend you know the fact I won from your charity fund raiser will always be special to me ✌️

Great video! Nice ZT. My 5 are in no particular order: BM 940, Spyderco Bombshell, ZT 0609(I can't afford his customs) Victoinox Tourist & Civivi buttonlock Elementum.

I'm with you on the 0393, it's my favourite ZT by far. Something about the feel and action makes me smile. My top 5: Spyderco Para 3/PM2, Spyderco Brouwer, Victorinox Cadet, White River Backpacker Pro M1 and an original Opinel carbon knife.

I freaking loved my ripple. The lockbar broke on mine though. I’ll probably buy another but that gives me pause. I’d enjoyed it a ton though.

You know I'm with you on the first, but you threw me on the last. I thought it would be the Domino or Sage 5.

Haven't seen a zt in a long time, absolutely great best choice.

Great video brother!

Gunna miss you JT.

Love, love the 943! Such a better, more useable knife than the 940. Awesome choices all around. Good seeing you on here again! Hope the family is doing good as well! My 5 would be the Microtech Stitch, Twosun ts80, Benchmade Rukus, Cold Steel Gunsite Voyager and the Lone Wolf Harsey tactical.

Great list. My son’s in the Army and loves his Mini Grip in Black, I think I’m getting him the Bugout in tan for Xmas. 👍

Such a shame elishewitz and benchmade broke up. The ares and Stryker are classics

My 5 favorite knives Are my Ruike 801 My ruike hussar My svord mini peasent And my Swiss army knife And my Mora companion in 12c27 And that's because there the only knives I own.( from Dave )😂

Benchmade 943 owner here.
