All of the leathermans, the Buck knives, Kershaw knives, Case knives etc are in the pockets of the TSA employees. This video is telling.

i'm pretty sure the TSA's that confiscated those knives pocketed the brand named ones for themselves...

Like the TSA agents let any of the “good” knives make it to the back.

TSA gives you the option to have your knife mailed back to you so you're looking at knives that weren't worth the shipping cost

I wouldn’t be surprised if the very best knives have been pocketed by someone at TSA, Amazon or by a middleman in between.

“I should be wearing gloves but my order of 50 pounds of used gloves hasn’t been delivered from the proctologist clinic yet”

TSA found a knife that I had lost in the lining of my bag. They gave me the option to mail it to myself for about $35. Assuming this is normal, most knives confiscated are likely worth notably less than that.

I should have know that when TSA was “confiscated for disposal” was just a confiscation for resell.

the seller took the good one of course

I feel like any knife guy would know better than to try to bring his nice knife on a plane.

These are the knives people have in their collection when they tell me they collect knives.

I had a buddy that worked as a TSA agent for a while. He had an amazing pocket knife collection.

I like the fact Taras was honest and didn't plant a £500 knife in the bottom just to spice the video up. Tbh, I enjoyed it more because of the honesty.

Today's word of the day: "Dirty" The sentence of the day: "Is this a Leatherman?"

Ozark Trail is a Walmart knife. People probably bought them while on vacation then tried to sneak them through.

Well now you have a box of goodies for trick or treaters.

Whole box of knives Tara's: another knife here

What if it was one single 26 pound pocket knife

Interesting that they confiscate these knives yet, if you fly first class, and order the steak, the steak knife they give you is larger than any knife in this box.

In Texas, TSA sends all confiscated items to a warehouse in Austin where they sort through everything. People actually look up knives to assign value. Then they hold a public auction. They do have lots of name brand knives up for sale as well as junk knives. You can only get the good knives at the auctions. They sometimes come in bundles with junk knives. People keep the good ones and resell them individually and screw you with these leftover junk knives.

Ozark Trail is a Walmart brand, so it makes sense that there would be a lot of those.

This is more like someone bought knives from the TSA, took all the good ones, and resold all the junk on ebay.

Dude, set up a tent at the local swap meet and put $1-$5 on those.

You're right. The good knives were picked over and removed. Thank you for your sacrifice to enlighten the rest of us.

TSA agents keep the spyderco's and the benchmades. As someone who has lost around 15 of them to forgetfulness, this video hits a sore spot...

You know between the TSA and the eBay sellers all the good ones get skimmed

All of the "Swiss Army Knives" are simply reminders that i need to clean my bowl.

Thanks for the heads-up! You saved a lot of us from being ripped off.

These are what I call "Gas station knifes" or "Gift shop knifes"😂 Some were decent tho

If he sees a cheap knive he’s like : “uh...” and throws it away.

He's like "I need gloves, they're in the mail" 🤣

First knife back in the bag was a gerber gator. my favorite daily carry.

Imagine someone seeing there custom knife that got confiscated in this

I literally watched this video cuz I thought a knife they took that I bought when I was a boy scouts 7 years ago was here 😞

"Ooh I like this one" throws it in the pule

I imagine people watching this, and some dude, saying ‘there’s grandpas knife, I gotta get it back!’ 👀💯✌️🥳

That BROWNING knife, (the first one from the first box), retails for $79.00. The Winchester knives retail for $49.00. The knives with real bone handles are worth it too but, yes the best stuff was already removed.

You'll see "victorinox" stamped on the main blade if they're genuine, the branding on the scales can get scratched off.

When I was a bouncer in NYC we all had a collection of confiscated weapons from working the metal detector at the door. I wish we had eBay back then...

The knife at 6:21 looks like one my dad left when going to Montana. If it says Easton view outfitters it’s his lol

I saw a silver Leatherman Micra you glazed over

I’m sure the TSA takes all the good ones for themselves

A couple of the knives you passed odd were decent. I bet also some of the Swiss army knives are actually brand ones. That printing comes off them easy. Look at the base of the large blade.

At least you have Christmas presents for all your cousins for next 4 yrs! lol

I saw a “Leatherman Micra”( looks like a mini multi tool, all silver in color) 4:37 You totally missed it. Dude! Find it. They’re a nice little EDC type Carry. Seriously, go back and find it. -Stephen, Ohio

At 4:36 he was holding a mini leatherman man. It was the silver multitool I think it is called the leatherman micra. He had another silver one at 14:20.

Awesome video: I kept hanging on hoping that you'd find a gem!

What did he think he was going to find? Cold Steel? Spyderco? A ZT or a high end Microtech OTF? It’s a grab bag of knives, there were some good beaters in there. Take it for what it is.

My dude buys 28 lbs of knives Taras: Another knife...another knife...another knife....

can you expect someone careless enough to bring knives through the airport screening to have their knives cleaned, sharpened and in good repair? i'm thinking those people stored their knives appropriately

17:52 was my first ever real knife, so cheap and sharp that it worked great for fishing opening boxes. When i got my first job it was just too cheap metal. Couldn’t handle the work i was using it for. I lost it now but that knife was a great first knife.

Ozark Trail is a decent make. Anything I ever bought from them, was excellent, incl. straight, sheathed knives. So hang on to those my Russian friend. I was taught, when it comes to equipment, One is None - Two is One. I always keep a few good knives (and flashlights) scattered around my truck...just in case.

I lost my $90.00 spyderco to the tsa. You know that went right in their pocket!

“Swish Army knife” lol 😆

The TSA screens millions of people a year but that mass produced knife you got in the package has to be mine, I got it taken a few years ago, so cool you got my knife, even though they are really common and the TSA probably takes tens of thousands of knives a year. Awesome find!!!

😂tsa employees be walking around with the good blades😁

3:40 "More knives". Well there's a shocker lol

The TSA keeps all the good ones!!!

Normal people : This is a good video Yuri : 😃😍

Thank you for the heads up!

Tsa agents keep the good ones.

Imagine watching this video and seeing your knife in the pile.

I have a friend who's brother works for TSA. He keeps the good stuff.

Double check the Buck knives for authenticity. I used to pull off the damaged rosewood and fill with strips of semiprecious stone with sterling wire accents. Made a very handsome profit.

Perks being the head supervisor in TSA. I can only imagine all the good stuff they keep. Knives, alcohol & etc

You should consider donating the knives to boy scout troops in your area. I'm sure they would enjoy picking through the knives and they would probably find some that would be useful.

A year too late, but, Ozark Trail is a sporting goods in-house brand carried by Walmart in the United States

The middleman is the guy making the cash.

"Swish Army Knife"

5:15 love the way he says Toyota

You now have a bunch of knives you can afford to loose .

Wait a year or two and you’ll be able to buy a box of confiscated pencils and water. The TSA keeps us safe

Can anyone count how many times he said, “Some junk”? Lol

What did you expect? Those knives were used and carried around by people ...

Lol so basically you bought a box of junk knives....congratulations 🤣

I always make sure to leave my good knives at home when i fly

I used to buy those crappy gas station knives and they are good as beater knives but when I got my first Zero Tolerance 808.. oh man! What a gorgeous piece and I fell instantly in love. SO worth the price if you ask me.

3:40 "more knives..." You gotta be kidding man :O

I was really hoping that there would be one sweet knife among the junk.....thanks for the advice

I was expecting him to say “Oh, look at this- Microtech Halo”.

I think I'ma buy this, and resell each knife for $5. Turn a profit.

Beginning of video. "Probably junk. I'm expecting nothing but junk." Rest of video. "This is junk." "I regret buying this now, nothing but junk." Dude you got what you expected.

Somewhere someone is screaming at their computer, "THAT'S MY KNIFE!"

A few of those are actually nice like the browning and the assisted open knives are probably decent

You should definitely be wearing gloves

This box is a million times better than the cellphone case junk box

Someone already picked through those before it was delivered. Leatherman are marked as such. Ozark Trail are Wal-Mart specials.

If I was a TSA person I would have "lost" the best one's

Case, and Browning, are GREAT knife names....

I know he gets tired of these “trash “ knives but if I had even 5 of those I would be blessed

"I should be wearing gloves!" 😂🤣😂🤣

I lost one on a trip to Vegas. Bought a cheap one there, amazingly it made it home with me.... figuring they'd take that one as,well.

His accent makes my day 500x better.

Is it just me or is his english getting worse? 😂

My tiny keychain pocket knife was confiscated by the TSA in July. When I told the TSA agent I'd put it back in my car he went ballistic.

4:36 looked like a leatherman micra. Pretty useful to have with your keys.

The knife at 2:37 and 18:11 (the broken knife) is a $40 knife by a brand called Boker. It is German brand. It is my go to knife. Super sharp

That Browning knife is a nice one. I had one for a while. It's always in my pocket

I enjoy your presentations, but who has $180. for a box of unknown ?? Sometimes you can "know" by the feel and heftiness of some multi-tools and knives, that they are solid and well built. You know that "feel". That's why we like these videos...seems like we're exploring this together. Thanks..... CRH !!!

Three Leathermans, a couple of on brand Swiss army classic SDs, A Swiss army tinker, and 2 buck 110s, and a handful of kershaws. I want to see a knife guy try this
