Sounds like your Grandpa was a hell of a man, its amazing how the people and memories make us who we are and I know your Grandpa is proud after all these years your still thinking of him the way you do. 🍻 to great memories

Thank you for sharing, I came for the knife but really the stories of your grandpa are what I'm going to remember! Great name for this amazing Hinderer!

Great story Lord Slicey. Makes me remember my Grandpa. I love every memory of him. He was an old Irishman that owned a bar in Auburn Ny. Thanks for dragging out some great dusty memories for me.

Love your story, it made me remember of my grandfather & how he showed me more about being a man than anyone else in my life. He was in WW2 road in a tank as communications. Taught me morse code, fly fishing & fly tying, & many more things. They were called the greatest generation for a reason. Grandfather carried a old timer slip joint all his life & I think out of all the flashy unnecessary knives we buy he would like your Hinderer. Nice story & nice knife.

Good stuff Bryan! You’ve invented a new genre of knife review 👍🏼 slicey Knife stories!

You just described my childhood almost to a tee. My grandfather is still my greatest hero to this day, and he passed in 92

I wish I could have a Hinderer...

Blessings to have your time with Grandpa Walt. Perfect way to honor him.

thanks for sharing these stories. So many memories and good times. Much appreciated and honored to listen. His work and caring was not misplaced. well done sir.

Such a cool story. Thanks for sharing about your granddad

You do realize you can't sell that knife now. You've named it and created a life for it by connecting it to your grandfather. Great story

Nice stories. Thanks for sharing. I like that starry night star wars poster in the background...

Fantastic story, love that.👍👊

Great story made me think of my grandpa. Glad I caught this 1!

Grandpa has a cool Clint Eastwood look. Hammer 🔨 story was mortifying.

Really enjoyed this video, Bryan. Great stories, and a great knife.

Loved hearing about your grandfather thanks for sharing

Great story about your Grandpa Bryan! I am still so thankful to have mine here, because I don’t get to see him a lot! That Hinderer is ridiculous (price wise)! 👍🏻

Lovely story thank you for sharing he sounds like a very interesting man.

I just got my 1978 buck 112 two dot knife in the mail which is a replacement of my grandfather old buck that I lost in Bahrain during my navy day in the Persian Gulf. He was much like your grandfather....built his own house from the ground up......a good catholic man who married a McCool a family that had a religious war....My great grandfather an Irish man who passed before my time married a protestant woman so you have Catholic McCools and Protestant McCools trying to save my soul. It is 2020 and it still comes up. So I can relate to that. Then the tough man......I was helping my grandfather make a wooden table and he was cutting on a band saw and hit a knot and cut tip of his middle finger off and a bit of his ring finger. He wrapped a towel around it.....told me we are going to town......dropped his finger tip in a jar of ice and drove us to the hospital and had them stitched it back on and complained to the doctor it was taking to long cuz he had a table to finish.....He finished it the next day.....He was making it for my grandmother and there was no time table to it but my grandpa had to get things done in a certain amount of time. He was into buck knives because when he was in WWII he was traveling to CA to get on a boat to take him to Iwo Jima and stopped along the way and met Hoyt Buck who gave him a Buck Knife and told him the knife might save his life......Well he hop out of a Jeep forgetting the knife and went back to get it and tripped running back to the boat and shattered his kneecap so he couldn't go to Iwo Jima but all the guys in his company that did go....never came back. So in some weird way that buck knife saved his life. I really want that knife but it was passed down to my Uncle. Sorry for the long post I could write a book on him but I was just thinking of my grandfather when you started talking about yours.

This was awesome! I love old tough guy stories. At risk of catching some hate, it’s back when men were men. Stuff that would never fly today. Thank you for this, hit me in the feels.

Great Stories! I regularly carry a Large Espada, or a USA Made 4MAX so I could carry that no problem!

Great story, man! My grandpa carried a Case knife with carbon steel. The blade was all rusted, but he kept sharpening it until its basically a nub now lol.

Wooden scale seems appropriate. Sounds like he had some hard bark on him.

That walnut scale looks amazing

Thanks for sharing, sounds like quite a guy.

I also have an XM24 vintage.It's 1 of my safe queens.i edc it occasionally it's not too heavy for me.

i'm getting this knife soon off the secondary market. i can't wait, but i'm also slightly worried about how o1 steel will be like in terms of maintenance and edge retention. i don't want to be sharpening it weekly only to find the knife half it's width in a year lol. also, i'll be making this my new edc. just wondering if the walnut scales are frail

U should do a size comparison with a socom!

I know you stopped making videos but if you still read comments just wanted to say I had the opportunity to pick one of these up today and I did, your grandpa sounds an awful lot like mine, I think I’ll call my vintage “Kenny!” 🫡

The last one of vintage in dlt trading that i buying so gooood thanks for this youtube .

He sounds awesome

God bless Walt!

Awesome

Very cool

Grandpa looks like Conan O'Brien.

$635 for 01 steel ehhh I'm still gonna buy, I hope DLT let's me payoff

#HINDERERKNIVESROCKS

It's a parkerized blade.

That’s when men were men, and cars were cars. 💪

You could have gone on an hour and I would have watched the entire hour. Have to be careful with the reviews, with my addictive personality I’m resisting the Hinderers.
