I, honest to goodness, cannot believe you got to meet CJ Buck himself. He always seemed like such a nice guy in all his interviews. You truly are, a rising star in knife community, Doc. Keep it up

Thanks for taking us to the show !!

First blade show and already meeting the owners of the companies that’s good stuff bear and son getting more love from me for his dedication to the community

Glad you got to meet CJ Buck, seems like an awesome fellow, always liked Buck. Be safe in the big city.

Great price on that German tank knife and it was really nice of the gentleman to show you the difference between the first smooth Handel one they made vs the original one you bought and let you exchange one for the other. God Bless have a great time and safe drive back home.

That Boker is so cool, I’m happy for you, I love your videos, Thank You

The Buck family is awesome. Man that tribute knife to your uncle is phenomenal. Thanks Kevin for that wonderful video. 23:41

Thanks for the shout out Donnie. When we come back to the USA im definitely taking you up on the offer to come visit you and hang out.

Great work on filming all of this for those of us who could not make it to the show❤️✌️

Hi Kevin, I am 100% behind you as far as case are concerned. Bear and sons have an annual factory event to sell their boo boo’s Whereas case sell theirs all year round from a retailer near you 😂. I was hoping you had thick gloves in your bag and tested the lock on the longhouse on the stand in front of their representatives. Enjoy the rest of the show.

Good on Boker!! Their sales manager taking care of Knife Doctor. Better keep that guy Boker pretty rare these days..

Thank you for letting us tour with you! So many beautiful knives, lucky that your bride brought along that backpack full of cash. So cool that the owners were there!! Enjoy the rest of the show!!

Doc, Congrats on your Sherman knife!! That rep was so good to let you pick and remembered you. Take it back with you tomorrow and see if SN# 80 happens to be on the table. Maybe he will let you swap it for 80th Anniversary.

Love that Spyderco dragonfly so Kool! God bless you and your family!

Kevin, my grandfather drove a Sherman Tank in WWII. He was in the third army with Patton. Purple Heart recipient. His tank took a hit and as he was exiting it, he was shot in the rear-end! He always joked about it. The man was amazing.

Sir. What a cool event. Boker Sherman, how wonderful man! The story that the owner of Buck told was sensational. Thank you for sharing your experience. A hug from southern Brazil!

Thank you for taking us along with you Kevin! Really enjoyed this video!! Last week at the Case event in Indiana we noticed a decrease in swag compared to the event we attended last fall. Not sure what’s going on but we all noticed it.. I still love Case and have enjoyed collecting their knives!!

Your interactions with folks are great! Thanks for sharing!

I thank you for taking us to the blade show. I enjoyed every minute. So glad y’all are having a good day time. 🙏

That tank knife is awesome would love to get one awesome on what your doing for the tribute for your uncle

Man that is so awesome you got to meet cj buck. My family always had buck knives my grandpa loved them. Very cool

I'm glad you were able to make it to blade show. Your a great guy and I really appreciate your videos.

Oh my gosh, I wanna be there so bad. I gotta go next time i’m 15. I just wanna say thank you for your service and thanks for making videos. I’ve seen every single one of your videos and you’ve taught me so much about knives thank you

Have a great time Doc! I ❤ that bone handle electrition knife but one problem it's to nice to carry.😊

Thank you Knife Dr. I feel like i am there with you !

When you go by the spyderco booth, tell them you want a knife hat pin they will give you one

Mate. Love your video. Thanks for a look around. Some awesome knives on show. I will be interesting to see what you went home with

Good morning! Hope you all had a good time!

Looking forward to seeing you clean that craftsman knife up! We were just emailing about those

Duuuuude that show is tops man.. I would be going crazy . I went to the SHOT SHOW in Las Vegas and they are all there.. I can’t stand with you and agree whole heartedly that you say truths.. Case is slipping. They need to appreciate their customers. People keep giving them the respect solely based on past experience and tradition. I had more knowledge about there stuff than they did. You’re right they didn’t even care to acknowledge me.. black rifle coffee was the same way.. probably worse.. money baby, money.. anyway great video buddy glad you’re there

This was such a fun video to watch just great! can't wait for day two. I also am super disappointed with Case, one of the only two times I ever sent a knife back. The blade had so much wobble you could hear it if you shook it while it was locked lol. Glad to see so much usa made stuff. Cheers!

Thank you Kevin for bringing us with you. Mrs. Knife Dr is beautiful. Hope you two have a great time there. Grab me a knife while you're there lol jk.

You talked to Sal Glesser at Spyderco!!! He started it all!! Amazing!! And CJ Buck!! Awesome Doc! I feel the same way about Case at the moment so i agree brother. All that you said is unfortunate but true about Case. Hopefully they can straighten up.

Hi Kevin, it's amazing that you went to such a big knife exhibition! I watch knife exhibitions in the USA on KZfaq, the best is Atlanta and Texas, they are an incredible amount of knives, axes and everything that cuts, lots and lots of manufacturers and knife makers, incredible and a lot of inspiration! But I follow knives not only in the USA but also in Germany and elsewhere in the world ! Beautiful video, you made me very happy!😉🔪👌👍

Great video. Great people. Great knives. You looked tired at the end there Kevin.

What a great video. I am so glad you got the Boker Sherman tank knife.

Hey Kevin! The new USA made Queen Knives are all made by Bear and Son in their Jacksonville, AL plant. I confirmed this in a phone call with the owner of B&S. Great video! Cheers, RW

you are amazing brother HOOO raHHHH... I got the BOKER F3 .. the Sherman tank knife is the business brother !!!!

Those cold steel twistmasters; goooood knives brother, it’s a user. Yours is medium size, and is good size but the large size ones are monsters. I have a large one and use it all the time, carbon steel and sharp with patina, very collectible. Love that dragon fly. Make sure you get a dog and a coke at the Varsity before you leave Atlanta! Stay safe.

Wade is working a deal right now! You gotta stay strong Kevin!😊

I got a feeling bear and sons are making the Queens.

Kevin , my name is David from NC , I just found a queen electricans knife thank you for every thing you do and your service ! Anyways it’s a nice knife for $10 couldn’t let it stay had to have it.

Kevin you are like a kid in a candy store, great video

WoW,What a Fun Day .🎉 Your Joy is contagious,So glad you went ,and got to enjoy yourself as well as get to find your Sherman knife ,at a good price . Thx for taking us along 🎉❤

Great video. I was really hoping to make it this year. Blown away how so many of the owners of such large companies made an appearance at the show. After your conversation with CJ Buck, his personality and humility made me appreciate buck even more. Never been a huge buck guy (though I have probably 50) but I think I might be now. I did get a buck from the 70s that had a long story from Al Buck, I believe that made me appreciate the older models, but CJ seems to be carrying the torch well. Also, I whole heartedly agreed with your comments on Case. To be honest, rough Ryder is making better quality knives than modern case. It's a true shame. Great video though Kevin!

1:40 Michael Janich from martial blade concepts and Spyderco dude is my low key hero. Check out the jandura. Also all the yojimbo/microjimbo/yojumbo models are his design, very cool

Thanks for bring the show to us who couldn't make to Atlanta.

lol Mr. Wade that sounded like a challenge on the electricians knife.

Nice to see my Home-countrys knives from Willumsen Copenhagen in Atlanta. They make great knives! Love from Denmark

Oh man what a day, appreciate you tagging us along man. 🍻

Was there today, wish I could've ran into ya. We talked to Mr Bear and sons for a bit. Great show

I wish i could have gone personally but i will be going nexy time, hopefully i can save up enough to buy a nice knife while im there

Thank you brother

Looks like a great time. Rough Black is just synthetic these days.Used to be Gum Fuddy and or Bakelite.

I started and ended my Case knife collecting real quick (About 6 month worth- 3 months too long-Very Poor quality control). I have a extensive collection of knives from Victorinox, Buck, Spyderco, And More. Great Video Kevin.....Nice too see that you got to meet Sal Glasser Owner Of Spyderco. I wonder if His Son Eric will be there over the weekend?

Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco, is such a humble man!!

Kevin, that is just cool man, you got to meet CJ Buck. That was the best part of the video to me. Hey, let you know my experience with the Spyderco PM3, I had it and ended up not liking it, and bought the PM2. So make sure you handle it quite a bit before you make a decision. Thanks for the awesome footage. God bless.

I saw you looking at the big foot Victoria knox. Rough Ryder has a Bigfoot knife. It's got a really nice inlay . Looks like a classic buck hunter folder. Good hefty knife. And it's $15

Make sure you check out the BBQ places close to Blade show, they are awesome. Never knew about the Boker Sherman, great find....

Love the Buck signs I checked on website not on there yet....I was almost named Buck after Buck Owens but my parents decided on Steven 😮

Awesome thanks for sharing

Outstanding ‼️👍💯🏆🗡️🥇

thanks for share

I would need some deep pockets if I ever make it t the show!!! I think that next year I'm going to the Texas one!!! if my wife lets me!!! hahaha

That was a pretty good first day at Blade Show Kevin. I was happy to see you buy the Boker. My Irish twin, 11 months younger than me, always says the time to buy something is when you see it. Following his thinking has cost me some money over the years. I agree that Case is pretty disappointing these days. The quality control is pretty bad for what they ask in prices. Meeting C.J. Buck at the show was pretty cool. I don’t live all that far from Post Falls,Idaho. I keep telling myself I need to stop in there when I get up that way.

Was lot's of great stuff there. I was hoping spyderco had factory seconds like last year but they didn't unfortunately. Now ill have to go buy one online anyway lol. I got a little fixed blade from auxiliary manufacturing

Work at a local sporting goods store and sell tons of Case knives. Never have had a one brought back for any issue.

Great video DOC... Semper Fi Marine 💪...

Case got to big way back they really need to come back down to earth , I have a lot of older ones but that's it,,, great videos I truly enjoy your channel

thanks

Smoky mountain knife works awesome place the worlds largest knife store

We were there at Blade..sorry I missed you! It was the best show I’ve been to

If you remember? I told you about the Twist Master knife before... 😮

Thanks for sharing man, just got into knives about a year ago and your channel has been awesome!

Sad situation currently with Case. I've seen so many videos lately of folks having problems with them. Two of my last three Case purchases have left me very underwhelmed. I'm soured on them. They're too expensive to be so mediocre in quality. But, it looks like you had a GREAT day at the show!!!😃👍🏻

Good morning Doctor kevyn from Chicago

Good video. Lot of nice knives there.

Very cool yes he seemed very nice.

I went to the show yesterday, Stayed until 4:00. I was wore out. I bought 4 Case knives. The booth beside the Case folks is run by SMKW. I agree, they had no stickers just catalogs this year. They have had stuff in the past. I was disappointed. Some booths hold things until Saturday. The Spyderco booth did not offer me a coin and the Boker booth did not offer me anything also. I got to talk to CJ Buck also. I showed him my custom 112 and Spitfire also. lol... There is just alot to see there at the show. It is overwhelming.

Looks like a good time! I would love to go one day!

Have you ever tried a Benchmade Doc? The 940 is one of my all time favorite knife designs, hands down. A true work horse

Allo Doctor Kevin thank you for the video,you are whrith for the bad QC of case.as a old collector i Will not go for Case but i Will run for BUCK knives.Thank for your services and the Knife comunity.🤓

Great video. And ya you are right about Case knives. I rather spend $100.00 dollars for an old Case XX knife than $ 150.00 for a newer Case knife. Big difference between back then and now. No room for sanding or fabrication. It is sad were Case has gone.i hope they turn things around and start thinking about the people again. who buy their knives. Well. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.

That para 3 is a great knife. I have a black g10 scales with black s45 blade .

Thank you for keeping the content coming, that’s awesome! Glad you were able to get that Boker knife. Those guys were really good to you. I hope the folks working the Case booth didn’t give you any dirty looks when you walked by!😂

This time the Knife Doctor doesn’t cut himself, but almost cuts off the finger of the booth man opening an automatic knife 🤣

So cool you got to meet one of the bucks and the founder of spyderco

Day 2 is gonna be crazy

Excellent great video glad u enjoyed the day like u say think on the positives some need to it right thankfully there in the minority good to see Meme out with you aswell good info through out cheers kev the knife doc 👍

Is that the Remington R3333 bsa pocket knife? Nice knife 👍

Boker knife wowwwww🤩🤩 👍♥️🇨🇦

40:00 Sal Glesser!!

Like watching a kid in a candy store.

i agree with you about the new case knives terrible quality control, had to send my first one i ever bought back ( a 2024 )

Man I missed all those booths somehow 😕

Wow you met Mr. Buck and Mr Bear

Bear and Sons!👊🏻🇺🇸

Very good video 😊sounds like case knives needs to be more customers friendly. Kevin there is a German restaurant the name is der biergarten itsin the area where you are at all most as good as the German food in Milwaukee. I would love to be at the show but I don't think I can afford it 😢GOD BLESS AMERICA 🙏

I feel the same way about case it's sad 😢 a good American company going to 💩 like that it breaks my heart . Hope you have a bless day an happy knife hunting.

I'm not buying another case ever until they get off there high horse
