Too many crazy good EDCs, but that employee carrying the customer gifted ganzo is just extraordinary wholesomeness

This is one of the most genuine pocket dumps I've seen. Very genuine people too. Appalachian style. Thanks

lol the guy with 7 knives, a multitool and a flashlight is living his best life.

Working at an outdoors store, and being in the knife department, I CANNOT tell you how cool this video was. To recognize so many of the knives, and then to not recognize the rest was even cooler! I would so love working there.

"I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's my ankle." 🤣 lolol Great screensaver! 👍😉

The pocket check with Jason was my favorite part! The "lowly" Ganzo and the story behind it was great. Knives don't have to be expensive to be special and/or useful. Glad I watched!

The first time that I visited SMKW, I was so overwhelmed by the selection that I couldn’t decide which knife to buy.

Loved watching this. My father LOVED SMKW’s ! He passed last November and now I have 100’s + maybe 1000’s of knives. He never really knew how KZfaq worked but I know he would have love to watch this !!

Enjoyed the video and mostly “meeting” some of the staff who served to make SMKW so great. Special shout out to Jason. Really miss seeing him on GTK. Glad he is well. Thanks a lot TC. Todays pocket carry is a Victorinox Tinker as it is Swiss Army Saturday and there are projects to be done and my flashlight is an OLight

Thank you TC. That was wonderful. I got my flex cut whittling jack, my Victoria, Knox, tinker, and my case large stockman! Great video thank you TC and thank you Smoky Mountain knife Works!

I love smkw! Recently, my daughter went to Gatlinburg to visit family. She heard me telling her mom that I wanted desperately to go check it out..this was during the Christmas holidays and they were closed for the weekend. She stayed an extra day just to get me a knife from smkw. I love my children to pieces.

Love going there every year. Nice to see everyone smiling and all

Awesome video!! I was surprised by a lot of the carry’s. Not what I was expecting to see “in a good way”. That new roughrider was fantastic, and the Schatt and Morgan was awesome. I’m glad someone had a TOOR on them, becoming such a huge fan of them. 🍻

Pretty cool to see so many of the behind-the-scenes people, plus a few familiar faces. Today I have a Benchmade Mini Griptilian, a Leatherman Wingman exclusive from White Pass & Yukon Railroad, a Jowbeam knockoff flashlight, and a Victorinox Tinker with Zorro scales, purchased from SMKW at Blade Show in Atlanta last year.

Loved this video. I own a few knives, but the one I treasure most was an old Gerber given to me by a retired Navy Chief that collected and traded antique knives. I started receiving your catalog 2 years ago and was blown away by your selection. I’ve told so many about your unbelievable stock and now I need to get busy and start ordering so I can do a pocket dump.

This video was amazing. I loved it. Great coworkers/friends. More of this please 🙏 bless you all

This work environment is so friendly i love it you guys just earned a sub

Visiting SMKW is definitely on my bucket list. I can't believe how massive it is. G'day from Australia!

I love these SMKW pocket checks! Lots of fun!

So good to see Tony again. I haven't seen him since the SMKW TV shows. I used to watch on Direct TV every Friday night.

Hey TC!!! I’m glad my pocket check was worthy. I change what folder I carry(you caught me with my Manix 2), Gerber Dime and Olight Arkfeld. P365XL in a G-Code appendix holster. Olight keychain light. Prytool, and small Gerber keychain knife. It was awesome meeting with you and Greg in the store the other day!!! The fiancé really enjoys watching your videos with me and has become a super fan of y’all and knife collecting

Smokey is my favorite mail order knife company. Nice to see the people.

I just love this store…. I was there earlier in the year for the first time. They have an amazing amount of knives from sooooo many different companies…..the employees are awesome too.

That was fun! I always knew SMKW was a special place.

Loved seeing everyone's choices. Can't beat a good pocket check video. Today I'm carrying a WE Banter, solid little knife. I made my first video this week too showing EDC gear, inspired by all the awesome EDC videos on KZfaq, including yours. 👍🏻

This was a great video - i was smiling the whole way through

I was just there 4 days ago buying a brand new Spyderco!!! Every year I go to Tennessee on vacation in the winter and every year I go to Smoky Mountain Knife Works and get a new knife been doing it for 20 plus years I freaking love The Knife Works

Awesome video!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm totally looking forward to the tales of knife traders..... awesome vid man.

That was fun! Got my Rough Ryder cinnamon bow trapper and a Marbles ram horn canoe today. Was very cool seeing Brian with the new bone RRR!

One of the first knife vids I watched. Started me down the long expensive road of collecting.... Thanks??

Love SMKW. Been there many times. Great products, great prices.

I pretty much within the last couple of years got away from the "new hype of the week" stuff. I use most everything I carry now and have put away my custom higher dollar pieces. I've now gotten myself into the fixed blade frenzy and it's a lot of fun! Appreciate the show TC and all the good folks at SMKW

What a way to spend your day.This guy has the best job imo.

Great video guys! Some great looking customs.

Benchmade mini grip, and SAK on the keychain, love these pocket check videos, keep up the great work fellas!

Great video . I'm super stoked for the jigged bone reserve knife and hopefully a bunch more in natural materials

Holy crap , alot of Americans workin there and imagine this if you buy a Rough Ryder you are supporting them ALL !. Great pocket check fellas !

I’ve got plans to visit your store this fall. Super stoked!!!

TC! you killed it! Another great video!

Neck knife/keychain (and most used): Boker Kalishnikov in XHP and Lumintop EDC01 flashlight Dress shirt pocket: CRKT CEO Right pants pocket: Benchmade Griptilian or Milwaukee Fastback Left pants pocket: Leatherman Wave+, Roxon C1 3-in-1 camping cutlery tool Cargo pocket: Maxpedition Mini pouch w/ myriad goodies, including Victorinox CyberTool Lite, Victorinox Nail Clip 580, NiteCore Powerbank, Rolling Square 6-in-1 charger, and RovyVon Aurora A-8

Added to the bucket list! Your store looks amazing. Best way to spend the day looking at all the knifes in stock and making new friends.

Looks like a great place to work…lots of good, friendly people who seem to like each other and their jobs.

Great video..! I loved seeing what everybody was carrying - this would be a very good regular “series” of videos. Today I’m carrying a Spyderco Para 3 LW and a Sage 5 LW. I love them both.

Wow the dude at the benchmade counter had a lot he was definitely prepared

Great atmosphere there! Seems like a big family.

Videos like this are always awesome 👌

I regret not visiting the store when I was down there years ago! I loved this video, got to see the nice people and cool knives at Smoky Mountain! I hope to get down there soon!

To heck with Disneyland, I want to visit SMKW !!!

I am suprised that practically nobody has pictures or posters on their walls! Thanks for the pocket checks! 👍🏻

I loved this. I am carrying a Benchmade Aileron in S30V in my right pocket and a SOG Visionary II in VG10 in my left pocket. I do have the clip flipped on the SOG for left side carry. Thrunite BSS W1 is my light. I also have a Civivi Crit and a Pokka Pen.

This is awesome, some great guys showing off there personal knifes, some nice ones

My daily is a Cold Steel, Voyager and an Esee, Izula 2. I work at a home improvement store and I use them both daily.

Love the pocket dump videos. Seems like all the employees work for knives instead of money 😂

Thank you for sharing this informative and entertaining video. The employees have a great variety of EDC knives. The best to you and your Business. Stay safe. 🤗 👋

Thanks for the fun TC 👍

Bradford Guardian 3, Hogue Extrak, Arcform Slimfoot "Darcform" auto, MKM Isonzo hawkbill.

Tales of the knife trader. Love it.

What a great vid! The Store/Employees look like heaven!!!! I must visit soon. I'm new to knives. I bought a CKC Colonial Quick Flick Spring Assisted Knife Green Camo. I just adjusted it so that the blade is perfectly centered now too. Starting at the bottom here and learning about all these brands, super steels etc....I can only move up and start to add more knives to collect. Cheers from Canada SMKW!

Always love smkw content. : )

Nice one, guys! Today I'm carrying a Buck 112 slim pro with OD green micarta, and a Case mini trapper with smooth chestnut bone. Cheers!

A lot of cool knives! I expected more vintage stuff and definitely more Case knives.

Thanks for the ride, man what a great bunch of people!!!!

Love those Bucks, S&W, C.R.K.Ts. Enjoyed this video and am patently waiting for the newest catalog. Hope to visit your showroom soon. Hey...... love that selection of Case also. Good work folks.👍🇺🇸🙂✌️

Love this. Ganzo knives are not bad. Budget knives.

I carry a Spyderco Delica.

Love the pocket checks and to get to see SMKW employees at their work stations. Love SMKW and keep up the great work!!

Leatherman signal, out door edge edc, surefire light, and CRKT M16 love them all

I carry a Victorinox Huntsman every day of my life. HAHAHA. That new Victorinox that Jason has is a nice looking knife. If only it had scissors on it.😂

We went to pigeon forge for vacation back in 2018. I drove over to your store and was in Heaven!! One of the coolest places I’ve ever been to! Unfortunately I only had about 2 to spend so I was kinda rushed but it was still a great time and a great memory. Such a beautiful area too!! And I’m also a huge Spyderco fan!

Been to SMKW number of times. Its a cool place. Bought a few blade's and several items for my firearms. There are so many knives and displays. Amazing what you can see there.

This video is the strongest evidence to show why I never ask opinions of the store employees

I love SMKW. Can’t wait to go back

Another solid video my friend. My EDC list would be too much for my hands to type lol. Keep up the good work! Best place in the world to work over there.

Absolutely love the selection you have to offer. I just happened to see the video out of the blue for no reason whatsoever and I am going to buy at least a few knives...if not more. Awesome vid bro!!

That was Great! Kinda like watching a strangely knife obsessed family.. Just like my family at Christmas!

Nice to see the employee of the month. She’s carrying a tenacious that’s my favorite Spyderco to carry every day.

Good stuff! I’m always carrying one of my Strider SMF’s as my primary and usually a Case or Spyderco….lately it’s been my Emerson Mini CQC7NW though. For my flashlight I alternate between the Olight S2R2 and Fenix PD35. My wallet is the Maxpedition Micro Wallet that I’ve used for years. Pen is the Hinderer Investigator that’s been in my pocket everyday for the last 11 or 12 years now. Also carry an Aroundsquare Knucklebone and a Vox Snailor or two for fidgety stuff lol…..Rexford RUT for work…and SOMETIMES my Leatherman Wave+. Don’t carry it near as much as I should though.

I love this store so much, haven't been in a few years but were planning a trip to ruby falls and lookout mtn. soon so definitely gonna be stopping in!

Such a great video! I'm carrying a BM 940-2 (from SMKW), Skeletool and a Frelux Synergy 1.5.

damn all these pocket check videos makes me really dig you guys.

Wow you guys are great, a lot of beautiful knives. So glad I visited this site.

Cool stuff! Can’t wait to visit you guys in August 😊

*Loved this video! Keep it up!!*

Awesome employee pocket dump. My carry today was spyderco shaman from SMKW. Victorinox super tinker with custom green scales. Victorinox SD SMKW sasquatch. Flash light Thrunite Archer mini in green and Olight copper i3. Keep up the great content.

Got a QSP Hawk. Honey Badger (small) that’s for my daughter. Camillus mini bushcraft (beater) and nebo 2000 (light). I usually only carry one blade but the honey badger is too much fun to fidget with. And I’m doing some grunge work. So the Camillus came out of retirement. Great video. Very likable people there.

Really cool video. Liked them all. That green Texas toothpick was a nice surprise

I like the diversity of knives shown and in the diversity of people; great to see grey hair (wisdom, patience, and good judgment). Keep shining, and best wishes from the Gold Coast, Australia (p.s. Today I carried a purple Javelina and LT Wright Frontier First in ironwood).

Great selection guys. Today I'm carrying my Kizer Vangino Zipslip, with blue G10 scales. Lovely little knife.

Currently carrying my Leatherman wave gen 2, crkt Pilar green g 10 and victorinox deluxe tinker. Thanks for the great video.

SMKW is great to buy from. some of my collection came from there. Some of my favorites that I own are all of my Microtech autos. Folders would be Benchmade as I worked 27 years in private security and always carried a griptilian. Fixed blade would be my Randall 14 attack with all the bells and whistles, Black micarta border patrol handle, stainless blade with saw teeth, nickel silver double curved hilt, and black sheath.

I like the screen saver of the girl in the office. "I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's my ankle". That was an enjoyable video. I love the stories that go along with the knives. Everybody has one, a pocket knife and a story. So do I. About thirty years ago I lost a new folder I was carrying that had a pocket clip. I took it out to use and must have been standing in front my car at the time and then I put it back in my pocket or so I thought. I drove home from where I was about 20 miles from home. When I got home, I went to use my knife and it was gone. When I went to use my car, while approaching it from the front, I saw my new knife hanging from the front license plate frame and it was open hanging by the pocket clip just off the ground. The blade edge at the tip had a couple small chips in it from the drive home earlier, but it worked as normal. I call it my lucky knife.

Great video. I used to ask Tony Bose what he was carrying when I saw him at a Case event or the Blade show. It was always something cool and well used. RIP Tony. I always has a Leatherman and some type of Case on me. Then a larger folder which has been a Benchmade mini Adamas lately.

Employee of the month stole my heart😭 Shes so pretty, and that flick was super slick👍

Beautiful!! What is the Rockwell Hardness?

Oh you are absolutely awesome and that looks like an incredible place to work!

I have been carrying a Spyderco Endura 4 for decades. Recently bought a Scallywag MDV Plus One and added an Ulticlip XL for horizontal belt carry. Also wrapped the handle with 3 layers of monkey tape to make a very secure 4-finger grip. LOVE IT !!

WOW! I really enjoyed this " what are you carrying pocket dump" video ! Very entertaining! Its so interesting . My carry varies. This morning its a ZT 0452 in titanium with carbon fiber scale. A Benchmade SOCP Elite carbon fiber axis lock. And from SMK, the B'YND Navajo. A Gerber Covert Auto in S30V Plum/ Gray handle. Last, a Daggerr Vendetta frame lock in Titanium Satin Blade w in Blue Lighting.

Nice, makes me feel right at home when I empty my pockets! :-) any time line for that stag Shatt & Morgan folder? I didn't see it on the site yet

I emptied one of my CR bags and I gave out the last Old Timer stockmans that I had to my Sons. Bought several back in the late 70s along with a few Bucks and Schrades when a local shop closed.
