Adam Beachard Thank you so much for that awesome comment ! About 3 months ago , I made a new list . I said “ no more messing around ! I got almost every knife I ever wanted . Now just focus on the ones you really REALLY want - and that’s it “!! So it started out at about 5 that I really want . Now , for 3 months , at least 3 times a week , I’ve added another blade or 2 . I’m back at 46 again . Hahaha How does this happen !?!? It’s a sickness I tell you !! My daughter ( youngest ) read that in my notes . She said “ Please tell me this is old “!!! I of course respond with a nice hearty “ Ahhhh NOPE “!! Hahaha I’m going to redo that list again . That 46 is really just Knives I want to look into . I’m sure I won’t want them all . But I am seriously just about done . Only a few out there I’d love to get my hands on . And that would complete my collection. ( I think )????????? Stay safe as always my friend 🤠

lordhumongos Ahhhhh .... I get it now . A few commenters below said that the Kenpo 1 looks like the Randall 12 or 14 I believe . It’s starting to make sense. Thank you 🙏

Anthony Murphy Thank You so much 🤠

AS FOOD AND TRAVEL Thank you so much !! Have a safe and happy 4th 🤠

Donavan Tew Ralph is right now , sitting in between my feet . We are outside . Under the gazebo tent . It’s raining . I’m on KZfaq and he is snug as a bug . He seems a lot better today . Thanks again my friend .

Thank you so much for watching and for commenting. Yeah these are a hard find nowadays ( if wanting both ). I don’t ever use them but they were used a long time ago . That’s awesome you know the kenpo technique . I know zero about Martial arts . Just a little boxing as a young lad . ( too many hits to the nose 👃) . Thanks again for watching 🤠

Thank you so much brother I will definitely check that out . I don’t know how much I can do with a bad back and nerve problems …. But I’d like to try . Have an awesome day 🤠

Thank you 🤠

Thanks so much brother man . Very Rare ( the Kenpo Blades ). But yes ... the Alaskan is avail and very affordable. All these knives ( I should of mentioned ) are not just for the Kenpo arts , but are for whatever ( hunting , camping , self defense). But as I said “ these are getting preserved “ . Stay safe as always and thanks again 🤠

JED HORNBEAK KNIVES Thank you so much !! Ralph is taking it easy ( just got to keep him comfortable). He is starting to feel better it seems .. And I am so thankful to of finally found these Kenpo Knives . Will treasure always ( up there with the MK-8 ) haha . Another think I didn’t mention -- The Kenpo 2 is double edged . I’m wondering if the Alaskan is double edged as well ????? I need glasses !! It’s hard to tell !! I need a professional to look at them . Can you stop over any time soon ?? Haha Stay safe as always my brother 🤠

@@tubes5150 Double edge = twice as deadly!! Those are truly amazing designs from the real pro! Ya'll getting any of the Africa dust? It's a little hazy here and I just came in and sneezed half a dozen times, haha! Take care buddy!

JED HORNBEAK KNIVES Hang in there my friend .... Mother Earth has been going thru changes . Mostly man made . I’m guessing we are all going to be wearing masks for the rest of our lives now . Like they’ve always done in the Middle East and places like that . Doesn’t quite seem like America anymore . Pray things get better !! I’m not so much worried about myself but I’m worried about the granddaughter and all the other newborns...... What are they going to do ?? What is this planet going to be like in 30 years ???? Praying for the best 🙏🙏🙏 Keep safe as always 🤠

We ( especially my wife ) miss him everyday . Poor little guy . So unfair !!! Almost every morning , when I go into the kitchen , I still look down on the brown rugs to see if Ralph left me any gifts . Yeah he had a little problem with going outside - most of his entire life . Especially when it rained haha 😂 Hey I hope you are enjoying your new blades bro !! Can’t wait to see them in your video ( s ) ❤️♥️🤠

John Bullen Crazy how I’m just now seeing this comment . My alerts are hit or miss sometimes . Thank you so much ! I will most definitely be checking those guys out . Really do appreciate you being here. Good Looking Out . Have a safe and happy 4 th of July Weekend 🤠

wnerk o If you read my comments ( I think on this video )... someone wrote something about the Conan sword . I said I don’t have it . But wouldn’t mind one . I never even looked into that . Are there Conan replicas avail ???? That’s just funny now that I think about it . I never ever talked about that sword . And now twice in 2 days by 2 different people . Gotta Love It Hahahaha And I love talking shop . I loved “ Show and Tell “ in elementary school so much , that I wanted to make a career and a living out of it Hahahahahaha. ( that’s what my channel reminds me of ). One big Show and Tell hahahaha

@@tubes5150 hahaha I never thought of that.theres 50 dollar look alikes of the sword.probably hard to find now but I was drunk and bought a 250 dollar replica.i was great at spending$ when I was loaded.lol.id do it again though.life long brother since I was 3 or 4.loltake care bother.hope Mr Ralph furley is doing fine.lol.sorry.if someone's named Ralph I usually throw the furley out there

@@tubes5150 damn.i didn't say what I meant too.lol.i saw the sword comment on there.after my buddy wanted me to have the hibben I told him he didn't have to give me that and he mentioned I gave him Conan sword.same day I read the comment.you can get replicas cheap nowadays.even Conan's dad's sword.that ones a little pricey

wnerk o That really is cool 😎.

wnerk o He definitely has his eyes 👀!!! Hahahaha Mr Furley was the best landlord ever ! ( and deputy ) haha

Thanks so much !! Not only do I admire their beauty , but just the story and history about them . I’m finally holding the same knife Gil gave Elvis !! Hahahahaha. I will take good care of these guys . Stay safe as always 🤠

tony van Verseveld Thank you so much !!! Have a safe and happy 4 th of July Weekend ( and always )

Steenbean M Thank You So Much !! I really do appreciate that . He is in between my feet right now . We are outside - under the gazebo tent , it’s raining , and he is snug as a bug right now .

Arizona Bladesman I can definitely feel that the Kenpo 2 has a double edge . But I’m having a tuff time seeing and feeling the Alaskan ( can’t tell if it is or not ). I’m going to go with Not . ( I didn’t mention in the video because I’m not so sure ).

Donavan Tew That means so much brother !! Took a mighty long time !! You know me -- “ All or None “!!! Hahahaha. I wanted them both of course . So glad I found this guy ( right place / right time )????? They will always be well cared for . ( I’m going to have to give you my sons info just in case anything ever happens to me ).

Mason Patrick Thank You 🤠

I think I do too . I mean if I had to choose only one ….

That’s really cool 😎!!! I really like everything about the Kenpo style fighting knife ..... especially the history of it all . I always wondered , out of all of Elvis’s personal belongings- his estate - , where is his Hibben Kenpo that Gil made for him ??!!?? I wonder who has it now . I’m assuming it still exists. Love to get my hands on THAT one !! Haha haha Thanks for watching 🤠

@@tubes5150 his trained karate chimp ended up with it!

Stefan Klaus Thank you so much !! ( I am sorry for the delay on this response.... but I am just now seeing it ). Sincere appreciation my brother ! You are very kind and I’m glad you have been apart of this KZfaq journey .

Brant Frans I have 3 swords ( Katanas ). That’s really it . But I really wouldn’t mind at all having that mighty sword from Conan haha . Stay safe as always and Thanks 🤠

Serg O Thanks so much 🤠

Karl Ruedger I have a Randall copy . I love that knife !! By a company called “ Knife King “. I actually gave one away during one of my contests a year ago . But even though I really like that knife , it would still be nice to have a Randall . On my wish and want list . Thanks for watching 🤠

@@tubes5150 yeah it sure would be nice to have a Randall. Not only are they expensive, there is a 5 or 6 year waiting list. I believe like the basic 7 1/4" fighter is a little over $400. And then you have to wait 6 years before you get it. Sheesh!

Karl Ruedger Maybe by then I’ll be able to afford it haha . I’m probably better off using eBay ( still quite expensive for even the used ones ). Hey .... someone else commented on here about the Kenpo 1 Lookin like a Randall . Model 12 or 14 ???? Shoot ! I’ll look it up .... My Randall Copy ( Knife King Model 1 ) hangs right by my back door . Most of my knives are in storage . I only keep a few on hand and THAT is one of them . ( hangs by the back door in case I need something fast back there .... plus it makes a great box opener and cuts steak rather well haha ). I did a video about a year ago on it . If you ever get a chance , try to look it up . Funny .... when I first got the knife , I honestly didn’t put 2 and 2 together ; my Randall knowledge wasn’t too good at that time . Still isn’t really haha . Ok . Have fun brother 🤠

targetswattitude Hahaha Best Comment Ever haha

Ricky King I swear I was just thinking that too !!!! Only I don’t want to mark mine up . Hmmmmm..... I’d hate to disappoint fellow KZfaqrs that want to see how it performs ..... Oh decisions decisions......

@@tubes5150 I would do a review without the performance test

Ricky King I might just do a paper , and maybe a water bottle test ?? I feel bad because I just did a “ non performance “ test here haha . I will definitely think of something . Soon . Thanks brother 🤠

Ricky King most definitely hahaha

Ngrave Phenom I absolutely Will . I will let you know soon . And you are the 2 Nd person to say that about the Randall . I have had Randall on my wish and want list for too long . I have a Randall model 1 copy and I absolutely love it ! Just think what the real one would be like ??? Soon .... hopefully soon . Ok . I’ll get back to you with the measurements and such .

PS .. I just looked up the Randall 14 . That blade is almost identical!! You have a great eye my fiend !!! PPS .. If you want , send me an email and I can give you better specifics on the Kenpo 1 ( with measurements etc etc ). Going to have to show you photos so you understand how it was measured . That slanted guard kind of throws the proper measurements off a bit as one side is a little longer than the other . You know what I mean ??

@@tubes5150 Email sent! Thanks bro.

Ngrave Phenom I didn’t see anything on my emails that stood out . I might of accidentally deleted. So sorry ... Can you send again ??? ( I was away all night - just getting back now ). Thanks 🤠

@@tubes5150 No problem, sent again. It's titled " kenpo 1 measurements!" Thanks bro.

Homestead Aquarius Thank You so much !!! Really good to meet you . I’m glad we made connection. I’m going to hit that bell too !! Hahahaha We are all in this together . I have a bit of an obsession with beautiful blades ( some I use and some are just so nice that I won’t touch them ). I’ve been collecting for decades . They have their own room now . ( drives my wife crazy ) Fun hobby ( amongst other things ). I look forward to watching your channel . Stay Tuned 🎵 Stay Connected 🤠 Stay Safe 🙏

Once in a while they show up on eBay . I Kept searching for a very long time until I finally tracked them both down . If I ever see any I’ll let you know .

@@Vipersshorts Definitely no store will have …… So keep checking 2 places : EBAY and Arizona knives . ( once a month Arizona updates their inventory on some new and rare hard to find knives ).

wnerk o Hahahahahaha.... Yeah when I was a kid I abused quite a few too . And actually come to think of it ?? The Kenpo 2 does have that sort of blade style . Another knife that Dietmer Pohl used as a guide probably ( this and the Hibben Assault knife ). Do you think Gil received any type of credit ??? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh No !!

@@tubes5150 haha I did too.broke one too.bubble compass 10 dollar survival knife.rigjt outta the box.shattered the handle in 5 min.my dad laughed his ass off.I know brother.he got robbed in my eyes.happened to iron maidens original artist.they said he wasn't producing good quality and they went with another artist to paint the original artists idea.shameful.damn auto spell on my phone.sorry if my text is screwed.new phone

wnerk o I never knew that about the artist of the Iron Maiden record covers . Wow ! That is freakin sad !!! I’ll never look at their covers the same way again . My buddy Joe ( R.I.P. )- he had a really cool jacket that he had someone paint “ Killers “ ( I think) on the back . It was so freaking cool !!!! He always was proud of that jacket ! And I wonder where it is now that he’s gone ???? I’ll bet his little brother still has it . He had that done in 1983/84 by a guy who lived across the street from me . Rich White . Damn ! Haven’t said that name in 30 plus years haha . That dude could draw like no other ! Unbelievable!! Anything he did he just brought to life and made it that much better . Great talking to you . Always strike a past nerve .... Good memories that need to be revisited.

Hard to say …. Minimum $150 to probably around $250 ???? Just guessing …. Definitely a Collectable my friend . Have a safe and happy holiday season 🤠🎁🙏

Thanks. It's like new. Have a great New year

The African Lion That was just amazingly awesome !!! I am so grateful 🤠 And you touched on such a great topic too : I ( shamefully admit ) that I am lacking in that department ( really supporting other channels ). I do tend to watch a ton of their vids on the television, but they will never know ( cause you can’t leave a comment ). I think I have like over a thousand subs , but yet only about 35 or 40 of them are big time supporters ( they never miss a vid ). I am forever grateful to them !! I met so many great - fine - genuinely great people on here . As I always say “ the world sure could use a lot more of them “. There are more out there that I have yet to reach . But you are right .... I need to amp it up and start showing them I do care . ( again .... they don’t see my comment on the big screen ). I say to myself , when I get back on my iPhone , I’ll then leave a comment . Ya know I forget though . And then I feel bad . I am now on a mission . Gotta spread the love ❤️!!!!! Super Message you got there . Stay safe as always my friend . I am sincerely grateful 🤠❤️🙏🔪🎵

Cowboy C Bop The bigger your channel the harder it is to do, I realise this. Don’t feel guilty, just do what you can, time permitting. Have a great 4th of July. Cheers.

The African Lion I am so excited !! Our local Rodeo ( well about an hours drive ) is finally opening its season on July 4 weekend. Special Military Night ❤️ Been shut down due to the virus . So we here at the Ol C Bop residence are pretty excited ! ( my dad would take us there when we were kids in the 70’s ). So I introduced this to my kids . They like it . But my wife and I love it !! ( I’m taking my granddaughter for the first time .... she is only 1 so maybe she will want to perhaps try this in the future ). Start out young haha . Not like me !! I’m just a spectator haha ( always wanted to just ride that bull -- 8 seconds )!!!! Looks easy ....... But far from it . I’m blabbing ...... Just thrilled that things are slowly but surely getting normal again . Ok . Thanks again my friend .🤠

Cowboy C Bop Wonderful, have fun.

wnerk o Wow !! You do know your arts brother ! I really wanted to take up some form of karate lately . There is a great place to take lessons about a mile from my home . I want to talk to them first . And my doctor . I have a terrible back !! But I need discipline dammit !! ( please pass the chocolate frosted donuts 🍩) haha . Seriously.... I wonder if they could not only teach self defense, but I want to lose weight and maybe strengthen my back . Kenpo May be too much . I don’t know . We shall see .... Just an idea 💡

Oh crap !! I almost forgot....... So the other night , I’m in my bedroom . I had a craving for some Rambo V Last Blood again . I have the DVD but the DVD player is in the living room . So I went on Amazon Prime and watched it ..... for Free !! ( that was pretty awesome in itself ). So I hit play . With me so far ??? Haha. I hit play , movie starts . Brother ?!?! I thought I was watching A completely different movie !!! I said “ This isn’t Rambo V “!!! Yeah .... Stallone is in “ Save “ mode ... riding on a horse !! ( I don’t want to tell you in case you have not watched it yet ). Now my DVD , and the movie , both start out with Our Hero back home in Arizona , doing some horse work outs . But this shows him riding in the middle of a down pour !!!! I stopped the movie to make sure I clicked on Last Blood . I did !! But ...... I clicked on “ Extended Addition “ !!!!!!! So that was a Real Treat !!!! And yes ... I was thinking of you during the scene with that skanky bitch “ Giselle “. You are ( as The Fonz would say ) , CorrectaMundoooooo!!!!! That IS the MK-8 he stabs into the table . ( still gives me goosebumps)!! So did you see the extended addition ???? I strongly recommend my friend !! Let me know . And stay safe as always 🤠

@@tubes5150 wow.i heard it was foreign release only.i saw a crappy quality of it on KZfaq.i forgot and gave up hope of seeing that since all the DVDs didn't have deleted scenes.not even those 4k future things. Whatever those discs are.awesome.ive had dreams there was a different rocky 3.i bet that was strange expecting to see your DVD version and boom .what the he'll dimension is this from?hahaha.i hope we can get a DVD of it.i let a shitbag borrow rambo4 special edition and dude moved.and unrelated.i just woke up.had a dream me and my lady were in a movie kind of like one of your favorites.true romance.it had soundtrack too of a nonexistent Alice in chains song.we were watching as we were in it.hard to explain haha.too much chemical paper tabs in my past lol.but wow.thats an awesome surprise.to bad in that version skank JIZZelle didn't get a skull crusher/window breaker shot to the knee with the mk8.rambo just wanted to test the point hahaha.take care brother.im going back to sleep.i sang the song from my dream into my recorder

@@tubes5150 thanks brother.i read a lot of jkd.paul vunak stuff is strictly self defence.no real discipline.kenpo I think is a harder edge karate.im not sure.alot of kicking.youll get what your after in karate.discipline and exercise for sure.good luck brother.speaking of fonzie.on That 70s show.the dingy girl wouldn't leave until Eric said fonzie could beat bruce Lee in a fight.classic.take care brother

wnerk o hahahahaha Yeah I don’t know about that ..... But it was pretty funny watching Brad Pitts character ( Once Upon a Time ) give the Bruce Lee character, a lesson out in the parking lot . Laughed My Ass Off !!!!! Did you see that yet ????
