Elijah Isham: “Bet you won’t make this” We Knives: “Hold my beer”

''reviewing this knife as a tool for cutting is like complaining about the taste of the forsting on the cake a stripper just popped out of'' lmao.. how do you come up with this stuff.

I don't know this guy Elijah, but he seems like someone who is regularly communicating with long forgotten gods from eons past.

00:30 This knife (I've always thought) would be a really good addition to someone cosplaying as a Klingon.

The blade is made out of m390 because you never want to HAVE to sharpen it

This video reminded me to carry mine today! Love it. Not a knife to take to the woods, but for a day around town it fits the bill. Believe it or not I actually EDC this thing a lot. But I carry everything I own and I rarely come across anything that truly needs a “hard use” knife. I love unique/ weird knives and this one definitely falls in that category.

Elija has to desingn a automatic, then you have a Autobot...

The Hawks are the mad scientists of knife engineering, Isham is the mad scientist of knife design, and I'd tap deep into my savings to buy a collab from them no matter how expensive that beautiful, beautiful madness would be

"Nuttier than squirrel turds." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Elijah Isham: Highest end mall ninja knife designer

This is the king of mall ninja looking knives!

Finally you did. Been waiting

I haven't felt so muc genuine joy while watching a youtube video in a long long time. Thanks for that Nick! As for the Knife: I am thinking about it... I wasn't but I am now.. so thanks for that.. have a good one.

This video basically sums up why I love this channel

I know this is an older review, but I come back to videos I've seen before because I get some of the biggest, most boisterous belly laughs from your reviews. Especially when whatever is on your table just has you at a loss. Thank you Nick.

Love this knife,as an art knife, but at it still work as a knife.. great work Elija Isham...

I hate art knives but but this one?!? I LOVE IT!

This review is just awesome. So glad you did it without passing out because "what the heck" 😂

The shade thrown at Brous was hilarious, Nick you savage.

Cool review... I’ve tried getting into this thing but I just can’t get over the way it looks.. it is very well designed indeed.. you really pointed out a few things that made me like it a little more...

Well now we've learned a little bit more about Nick's bachelor party. Enjoyable review as always 😉

"This knife may or may not be a decepticon." Best part. had me rolling.

Love the Stargate reference

Love mine. I'd take this over something immensely boring like a sebenza anyday. It's a long knife at almost 9" but it doesn't feel all that big since it's so light and thin, compared to something like a Bodega or Max Evolution it seems smaller. I'd equate it to almost like a Tighe in the feeling but less broad even. Cuts just fine for me with packages, steak, loaves of bread, etc.

Love your content mate. Hey what university did you go to?

That's a gorgeous knife... If you don't look at it.

Great review, thanks

If you still have the Eschaton, is it for sale? I’ve been looking for one for a while now to be my grail knife, and I’m looking to buy.

Wait what end is the blade on?

Interesting, beautiful design that seems to be well executed. But what would I do with it? Am i really going to use this knife and risk scratching it? I'm not. I spaced out toward the end.... this knife comes with a stripper?

i love how nick is such a huge dork. the transformers jokes at the end had me cracking up. he only shows his true colors once in a while, but once he gets going its like "ohhh ok i get why this guy is a knife nerd."

I have one and it does gather a lot of attention. Once I saw it, I had to have it. Such a strange piece, but glorious in its decepticon identity.

Wait, did he say that Kizer have a knife called the Soze? What is it and where can I buy one!

Thanks a million Nick, i didnt know there was a kizer (keyser) soze and now i gotta preorder one. The usual suspects is one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite

Maybe the most interesting piece I've ever seen... Great review...

As impractical and weird as this knife is I love it!!! Thumbs up as usual Nick.

Love the design

The Department of Defense has announced this is going to be standard issue for the Space Force.

I now love your channel even more. With that pink floyd comment at the end. Man i love me some floyd .grandchester meadow is proabably my all time favorite song from them. ..love peace and afro grease

“At some level $350 is a lot of money?” Don’t you feel as though most of your subscribers are at that level? I sure as hell am.

Don't hate it because its different. Is it made well? Of good materials? Does it flip well? Is it balanced? Yes on all counts. If I see another spyderco which looks like every other spyderco I think I'll go buy a Z Hunter

Given the surprisingly decent ergonomics I have a feeling that, if you got rid of all the holes in the blade, filled in some in the handle to preserve the balance, and gave it a sensible grind, this would probably make a good cutting tool that would still look relatively badass and out there, especially for those of us with larger hands. I realise this is entirely missing the point but it's something I couldn't help but spot.

Love the Pink Floyd reference

Best quote "Shine bright, you crazy diamond"

When did Riddick become a knife designer?

Custom Knife Factory Decepticon-1 was a very real knife. it shares many design cues with the Eschaton and was a bargain at only $1070 us.

Curious that Nick made the stipper cake analogy so soon after his wedding 😝

Perfect for the lunchroom. If your lunchroom is located on the Klingon homeworld, of course.

I’m here from 2022. Nick has dropped to one video a week and Elijah died in a gunfight.

Great video loved it 😆

Nick- Hilarious review and right on the mark. I have one of these and can now get into any Star Trek Convention for free. Great for batoning and any bushcrafting :-) The Brous Echelon was a piece of garbage. Not one broken edge. Isham won't work with Brous anymore. He did an earlier knife with Brous called the Raven and it has many similarities to the Eschaton and is of way better quality than the Echelon. I like Isham's crazy designs and have several. I think your wedding ring could use some champhering.

the larger blade hole also doubles as an eyeliner stencil!

What happened to your Norseman? I thought it was blue not gold, or is it like that dress from a few years ago?

Wowowowowow now we are talking!!!

Nick, the best way to look at Elijah's work is "Its for looks and actually works well." just be prepared for some odd cleaning, and in this case odd sharpening and honing.

Which is exactly why I want one.

I wonder if Elijah's design process is similar to Frank Gehry's (as depicted on the Simpsons)

That stripper analogy! classic. Excellent and very fair review.

I’ve got it on a display stand in the living room.

All those holes and where should a Norse Klingon put its lanyard?

Man I really want that knife! Worth the money imo

Hey Nick, don’t know if you’ll ever read this but this very knife you reviewed just landed in Australia. I purchased it off eBay (they mentioned it was once yours, I can confirm now by the serial number) and had it sent to a company who specialises in exporting from the US, they sent it to an unspecified country in Europe by mistake and sent me a 45lbs computer server instead. After a month of angry emails they finally retrieved it and sent it to me in Australia. I remember you saying selling this was one of your regrets until you got the Damasteel version. Just thought you’d be interested to know the journey this little knife has taken. I’ll take good care of it.

I have the Ti version, I carry it, it cuts, it works.

Made for SCI FI movies and impressing your friends. Stay tuned for Elijah's Arrakis, Pleroma and Ǣterna coming in November 2018........

I love that knife!

lol great review..love his knives

Omg you got me with the Stargate themed comment! Hello hello nerd!!!

At what point is a knife not a knife, only a sharp thing?

I’ve searched for a review on the 918 by you

I wish I could find one of these sooooo bad… Eschaton and Zeta are last knives I need to complete my entire Isham collection 😭

Art knife . Full stop. Did it also come with a frame?

I drew that knife when I was 7

"Star Gatey knives" awesome

Wow, just wow. Great to see one close up & personal.. & ermmm fiancé?! 🤣❤️

I wish they made a version of this with the same handle, but a slightly more “normal” blade.

For a man who regularly wears a Batman mask, I am a little disappointed that you didn't approach it from that angle.

I swear I saw nick review this knife several months ago. I think I've lost my mind O_o

No comments on this one? Wow. Nice knife.

This is actually a pretty decent cutting tool. I EDC this to work almost every day and work in the financial industry in an uptight office. Every now and then I flick it open in front of coworkers to cut some chicken for lunch or open a package and relish their confused expression. I pull in too much money for the company for anyone to say shit to me.

Lost it at 3:35. "Holy'er than the fricken Pope." 😂😂😂 sometimes I'm just here for the commentary tbh.

The flytanium scales will cover the entire handle and for the first time the entire blade.

It’s an exercise in design and manufacturing expertise, over function. As a tool I’d take the Rat 1 over this any day of the week. Sorry I won’t get to meet you at Blade Show

"...nuttier than freakin' squirrel turds." I will be using that in the future.

You said fiancee again !! Wife man wife 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Reminds me of the decepticon

More than meets the eye.

This was taken from the Klingon empire.

There should be a head-to-head comparison of this and the CKF Decepticon - it'd be like two bald men fighting over a comb..!!

It looks like a Klingon switchblade carried by muggers in the dark back alleys of Qo'nos.

Love the Pink Floyd reference.

if i bought this knife, i know i would be through with collecting, because it would mean i already owned everything ever made that could be construed as a knife. this is, at best, a movie prop for a movie i would never watch.

Nick, hilarious cake comment, love it.

Space force knife!!!

re sharpening. When Bird reviewed it, I asked that question. He said it was easy...he was not being sarcastic.

Wolnir's holy knife

Tactical cheese knife?

Ah Batman's pocket knife

I think it's a fantastic knife and looking at what attracts you i'm surprised you aren't keeping it.

High speed low drag bushcrafting Decepticon. That knife might be a Dinobot.

more holes and fullers than a Todd Begg factory outlet.
