Great job featuring the makers & not just the production retailers 👌🏻

So refreshing seeing QUALITY fixed blades for a time. Edit: was just blown away by Bradford

Thank you so much for sharing our gear with so many people. When we were at Blade Show West people kept coming to the table talking about the video they saw and it was yours. We appreciate the support of our family business and the work that goes into creating a video. We appreciate your efforts and wanted to let you know people were watching and it helped.

Thanks for the effort in putting this together, it cool to see actual knifemakers rather than manufacturers which most KZfaqrs cover extensively. If you have time next year, see if you can ask them a few more questions, it's very valuable to get their insights about their work.

Nice meeting you! I was at the sterling custom knives table, great editing! Thanks for the kind words and the coverage, hope to see you next year!

Dude that PNW edc tray/hank/pouch is awesome.

Thanks for sharing as much as you could. So much eye-candy, and more than a few friends in your shots. That made it more fun even.

Very enjoyable and informative video, Thankyou. The axe restorer had some amazing workmanship on his table. Restoring is definitely an art form. Again thanks for the video.

Thanks for covering all the small vendors. I watched the whole video.

We don't have this kind of expo in philippines .. yet we have great custom knives makers in our country..

Thank you for the time and effort in showing us all those awesome knives, and for sharing the contact info of so many smaller knife makers. That s vital to help them to grow, and to let everyone get to know them. Nice gesture !

Hey thanks for interviewing us!!! Nice meeting you!!

I love you hitting the small guys trying to make a mark. Very cool of you. I'm hitting up Drifter Blades by the way

Great video, thanks for showing the real knife makers.

Most and best coverage of Blade I have seen! I was there 1 1/2 days and missed most of what you showed. Excellent audio and video was clear and slow enough to see things. Best part was you asking what their favorite piece was, really opened them up to sharing some interesting information, great job!!

That guy who finds old axe heads should come out East to Collinsville, Connecticut. There's an old dirt road along the East side of the Farmington River, the Collins Axe Company used to dump along it. I've found some of it in the past.

Thank you for reviewing this knife. I bought one about 3 years ago, but haven't used it yet. Great video.

Thanks for all the work for all of us who Caint go

Impressive work sir. Old Hickory knives make great blanks for Trade knives. Thank you

Great video!

Best salesman ever, and I'm not kidding.🎉

Great video mate. It was really good to see all the smaller makers and hear what they had to say. Looked like an awesome weekend

everyone is selling something. amazing

Still waiting for mine ,looks fantastic and nice review sir.atb paddy🙏

Those little miniature axes are amazing.

Awesome blades❤

Good video

I missed the Show this year and have never been.. I will be there next year.. but what you did allow me to ALMOST know what it was like to go... THANK YOU

I would love to go to that show. nothing like that in australia

PNWbushcraft is freakin awesome. I’m going to the show next year. Thanks for sharing the Vid!

Those dragon scale door handles at the ax guys booth are incredible.

I would spend so much money there it scares me . Just absolutely love meeting the people that make the knives they offer to us . Awe man so many beautiful knives I have to see if they come to California or I guess I will go on a road trip one of these days , thanks for the video and new sub here .

I want them all

Very cool video, I appreciate your effort and time. Glad to see the lesser known manufacturers mixed in with some of the big dogs. Some really cool stuff shown. Thanks

Beautiful just Beautiful.

I'm glad to see made in the USA knives.

I loved this video. It showed a lot of the smaller tables and makers that don't usually get into videos. Thank you for the coverage. That pirate ship was something else. Never knew they had stuff like that there.

Our newest designs are open for any CUSTOMIZED OEM/ODM orders! And surely we can make your design/dream come true with powerful manufacturing ability,competitive price,reliable high quality and on-time delivery! PM for more details!

Thorough work…impressive knives. Thank you.

I like this video. I colecting knifes abaut 40 and years. I also did some with a friend. Large bowie knives from feder plate trucks. We sharpened it and then I took it to the company to have my knife sandblasted and sharpened. He could cut a tin tool box. And a friend later made the handle and the front bumper out of brass.

Love your lives even though I often miss them😂 Thanks for doing what you do!

Could you imagine a tornado hitting that place while your in there!? LOL you would be chopped to tiny pieces!! I'm sorry, I think about weird stuff / scenarios, haha Great video Brother! Some awesome knifes here.

Va in the house!

Cool video. You really did some work for this video and hopefully helped some makers. Im gonna check those trout scales and thr trout neck knives.

The dude with the mask could have had the best knives in the world and the mask would have been a deal breaker for me

Liked the bushcrafter.

Yes, do more videos like this Scab!

Great video. Looks like a really fun event. 👍🍻

I will watch next years video as well, pretty damn good presentation and information

Great filming, thanks for the share, cheers!

i'll be there in feb 2024 with Trident EDC hope to bump into you

I happened to pick up the last pack! I missed out on the axis lock from last year so I spotted this one and didn't think twice. I was impressed with the lock up, and finish. They don't feel as cheap as other cheap knives do. I was also impressed that they did a bearing version and spring assist version in the same pack. They were also respectably sharp. The included sharpener works quite well. The bit driver is pretty handy and respectably sturdy. The keychain tool is total trash though. The only minor issue I had was that the axis lock knife was a bit too tight in the pivot screw, but just a ever so slight adjustment and the blade flies right open. It's a great value knife set.

I like the blade at 30:33 over the chick-fil-a menu Mostly i like the double bend in the blade for once it's actually useful the first inch about the length of a razor blade is great angle for whittling for sharpening stakes the other part is a great angle for cutting. and the bend will not interfere in anyway with a defensive slice. probably mke it worse really.

This was a fantastic tour that brought back many memories. I'll have to get back out to Blade Show next year. Thanks for this!

Very nice. I have a Higo 2 but mine is the Silver to gold anodized with carbon fiber overlay scales. It is was one of my grail knives. SHARP AF!

As a knife maker in Ireland, that's a fantastic video, what you did for everyone is great, you should be on commission 😊 Great job

Best coverage of blood show I have seen. I love the fact that you go to these custom makers so many people are about to production stuff to look at microtech’s, newest and latest gratis, or some bogus blade that you can buy bulk bitchmade or Spyderco. I would rather see custom handmade stuff. Good coverage brother keep it up.

Awesome content! Liked and subscribed from Pembroke Pines FL. I love the interview style back and forth. It's cool to see the knife makers open up and share their passion on the spot. Please keep doing what you do!

A friend of mine back in the 80s was stationed in Italy .with 509th parachute .he sent me one gorgeous ram horn the cops in my hometown took it off me

Great stuff

The Fowler Bowie is very similar to some of the River Jump knives. Very impressive pattern.

Great video. Excellent questions, banter and especially editing. Some (maybe all) of the larger knife KZfaq channels could certainly learn a thing or two from this video.

Wow this is 🔥🔥

The shadow box vendor had my spider sense going.

Drifter blades got the Marvel Hydra symbol.

Nice job! I definitely couldn’t have passed the Olamic booth !

You can get into custom knives, especially the smaller knives for about the same price as these of the shelf, mass produced name brand knives these days as the price has risen on them. I am looking at a couple custom knives currently? Definitely will not be my next, but the next one after....🤣

Very nice video. Lot to see there. If you do this next year, it would be awesome if you could do a still shot of their business cards at either beginning or end of each display both / exhibitor.

Nice

Wonder if Jay Grodin made it out there . He is out of Grass Valley and I bought his best knife a few years ago . Just happened to be an outdoor market in Tahoe City and he and his wife had a booth . Saw he was a knife maker and hung out for an hour and got a fossilized walrus tusk handled Damascus blade knife . It's so nice it's silly .

22:59 wow

Nice job of covering the "Not so well known" harder/smarter creative folks. Like J.I. Shore who has enough work and no website or the "Shadowbox" making man or that mature Bad Axe Michigan'Ian Man. But @1:27:00 you walked right by Texas's very own Tactile (Blade & Pens). Thank you!

Blue Collar Ferraris

I say ready to join nose digger team lol U guys are the greatest

Fowler should’ve named that blade the Tiger Shark. I said it in my head when he picked it up and then he said the actual name 🤯

Sweet show !!!

Sad to say but it looks like John Shore may be done making blades, according to his most recent facebook post.

I never get to go to blade show, so this was pretty awesome to just sit back and watch. And Jesus wtf Cobratech, lol at first I was thinking eh CobraTech isn't so bad I guess they look like they're turning around..then I saw that design that looked wayyy too familiar 😂 cough cough "Kitefin"

2:45 what company is that in the blue table plz🙏

On the tiger stripe Damascus, Is there maybe a reason no one has done it that way before? Maybe because the “seams” or “grain” isn’t running the length of the blade and is the steal weakened that way? Just asking. Im no metallurgist.

Haven't watched this entire video, Did "Half Face blades" have a booth there?

just curious, do they stamp their name on the knives? Be nice to know if you find a good one.

Wish you had shown more Alabama Damascus.

Illinois industrial tools,what do know about them.Just a little knife sold to for five bucks.

I really hope someone go buy their blades.. 🙏

If you are a vendor be sure to have big contact sign, most of these guys don't advertise well

What knife is the one shown at 54.49?

1:07:14 this seller seems to have the best damascus skills, regular damascus doesn't do anything for me anymore, infact i'll perfer an more subtle hamon with tree texured steel then boring same looking damascus, but these damascus designs look otherworldly, i perfer the steel on 1:06:42 the $1250 one, it looks stately and regal, but the $1600 is also very nice, looks like jade leaves, encased in stone, like an fossil i love the way they refect the light and glow secound place goes to 1:35 his Damascus is very nice, it's like polished stone, it has an calming effect, the tree like texure on it is great, it's subtle and secondary, but brings alot of polish to the knife, he's clearly very skilled at steel making, but it would be even better if it was the lengh of a yatagan sword that the knife is based on, so about 30 inches? i'm having an mental orgasim thinking of the beauty, with the soft recure, with an equally eye pleasing steel pattern.

Miller Bros vs Dawson, which one is better in general?

I wish you had a nicer camera. It blurs a lot when you move. But thanks for the video anyway. It was a knife guy's dream event.

good effort best to break and not tire....got dizzy with speed movement.

So I'm curious. Is it just because you're not realy interested so you didn't stop at their stands, or are there almost no kitchen knive makers there?

Ok soooo i love knifes.. but not ornamental sorts necessarily.. i would like it if everyone that reads this give me their top 3 work use manufactures at this show plz.. ill do a big man back flip for every recommendation

I'm just going to ve ture the answer was a nope. We tried to see it all in 2019 and it is too big to see everything in 3 days. It really needs to be extended to at least a week. I wanted to go this year soo bad, but threw my back out and couldn't do it.

I went to that show and got cut in line.

Awesome video but why speed up the knife sharpening part?

So, what's the deal with backpacks- is it the only way you're able to carry bladed items?

The smug look is called constipation!

The voices 15:00

Hey Man, who is the maker in the red shirt, green tablecloth at 1:02:40? Thanks!
