Imagine, if you will, a man in a batman mask, cutting into drywall with a Z Hunter Barrage. Imagine, and shed a singular tear of joy.

Woohoo. Thank you for the tag! I'll make a response this week.

Nicolás, I expected the Neutron but you totally surprised me with the rest. Love that. Thanks for joining in my friend.😁✌️

Man I feel like a goof, he absolutely had me with the Herman on the end until he started talking about the uses of the last one lol. Well played indeed.

Nick you’ve given me a taste for the finer things in life! Now I’ve been stuck on the couch for 2 weeks because apparently spending 300$ on a pocket knife is “ridiculous”. The level of jackassery I’ve committed in just the past 2 months since watching your channel is finally giving me the chance to sleep without hearing my wife snore and I just wanted to thank you personally for the great joys I now have in my life. #jackass

Wow! Thanks for the tag Nick, humbled to be included with the crowd ya called out! By the by, I get a lot of joy in seeing the Advocate on your list... I remember how conflicted you were when that beauty came out! #orangepeelquandary 🙂

"Hey Nick, Everybody Here"

If I'm honest with myself, the Spydiechef is basically my only user. Have something like 30 knives, but they rarely even leave the house.

My top 5 users: Work knife: Benchmade grizzly ridge, knife works edition. Insulated and drywalled my shed with it. When I need slicy: Spyderco Smock in 20CV and CF scales. Top fidgety knife: North Arm Skaha 2 in CF. Box opening. Kershaw leek partially serrated. Sharp tip for tape, the serrations are the best thing for easily removing those stupid little plastic strings that hold toys to cardboard. Knife that tends to find its way in my pocket over others: Holt Haptic

When you said you were cutting into drywall and the Herman was the last knife on the desk I was like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I love the ad20 as a hard use folder. Mine are all cruwear or 3v trading that capability to the limit for folders. The lock is so fidget friendly and reliable.

We need a glove box knife tag. What knife lives in your truck, car glove box, center console etc?

What a fun look at your top 5 user knives! Thank you for the tag!! Always making it fun! #DSKFS

I love my Newtron and my Atom but I do wish they were a smidge thinner right behind the edge. The pass through material great but starting a cut isn't quite as effortless as other knives even at 15dps. Tried lots of polishing, more toothy edges and even gone all the way to 10dps and not a big change. Great knife and certainly slices well but I wish it was ground as thing as other stuff, lean into the "not a hard use knife" with something that is 13 thou behind the edge. That said, TRM is amazing to deal with. Had an issue with chipping in the same spot, even after the equivalent of 15 sharpening worth of material, it wouldn't stop so they sent a new one with a return envelope that was prepaid. I would have been fine with sending it in but was *thrilled* with how they handled it. some of the best CS I have ever had.

Nick great breakdown of your users. My most carried are: 1. BM mini-freek s90v 2. MK smooth criminal s35 3. MT LUDT cts 204p 4. SAK pioneer-x 5. Spydy PM2 s110

🤣👍👍 will do

I’m glad my Tag Video is making it’s way around 👍

Every time I think “I should sell some knives”, I watch Nick’s videos and change my mind lol.

You had me for a second until you said "drywall". Well played.

The QC waypoint is my absolute go to for every day stuff, I have a Manix 2 for lending to others to use (mostly cleaning up 3d print supports), and if I am not feeling the waypoint I either grab my bugout or 945

hi nick it is awesome to hear you are using and featuring the spyderco advocate i sent you especially since you inspired it with one of your other videos about how you wish it was made without a flipper. super cool video as always stay safe bro! aloha!

Nicks 'beater blade' is a Demko....mine's a RAT1

My most carried EDC knife is probably my Kershaw Atmos. It weighs nothing, has a great action and blade shape, and a relatively deep carry clip. It's also very budget friendly. That said I work in an office not on a construction site, and if I did I'd probably carry something more substantial.

A Kiser Gemini with micarta handles and a N690 blade, a Spyderco Dragonfly I use for opening packages, a Civivi Elementum button lock I recently bought and carry alot, an Opinel 8 with a stainless blade, and a RAT Model 1 when I want a knife I can thrash on a little bit.

Hey Nick, I'm curious, could you do a video on what type of kitchen knives you have in the house. German / French Japanese?

That tungsten carbide blade is still the most interesting "technology" to me it'll be a bit before I get one though haha

Nick, what are you doing with your life if you're not using a $600 + knife to go pry staples outta wood. Love the top 5 by the way, all make sense for their applications. Great video as always

Even if this video was promoted by someone else, thank you so much for making this! I love your reviews, as with many other channels, but I started to notice a trend a few months back that very few knife reviews (that I see, at least) ever go into any detail about how well the knife cuts or what tasks it’s suited for. I learned some time back that there’s no right or wrong way to be a knife enthusiast- barring illegal activities, of course- but I’ve always had a heavy leaning to the actual utility of a knife as opposed to their intrinsic artistic or engineering value. Being very poor, I only own a tiny handful of knives. I’ve always been the kind of person to develop an intense personal bond with my possessions, so that’s fine by me. I daily carry a Spyderco Dragonfly 2, a spear point Case Barlow, and an ESEE Izula. Each knife has a specific role. The Dragonfly is my primary knife since it has such a thin edge and just the right subtle curve of the blade to allow it to slice through any light- to medium- duty material. The Barlow fills the same role, with the added touch that it’s a totally non-threatening design that I can use around people who would otherwise be made nervous even by the tiny Dragonfly. The Izula is my pocket tank. It handles heavy-duty tasks which would damage or destroy my other knives. It’s so absurdly robust that I’ve used it as a shovel to dig up sprouted saplings growing in places I didn’t want them. I’m working toward getting myself a Bark River Mini Aurora in 3V next as an all-purpose hard use knife for tasks that demand more blade length than the Izula can offer.

Thanks for your content, Nick!

I'm thoroughly enjoying these "tag" videos.

“…In a moment I’m not carrying a knife.” If I had your collection that would be never for me. I don’t have any that you chose, closest would be TRM Atom but I don’t carry it. It slipped out of my pocket and slid about 6 feet which caused blade to become misaligned. I fixed it but prefer harder use for edc. Thank you for the roundup.

Thank you Nick!!!!👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯

Fidgeting..Benchmade Bailout M4. Slicing..Spyderco Dragonfly G-10 Dark alley..Emerson CQC-8 Drywall..Cold Steel Hold Out 4” Darker alley..Spyderco Szabo

Excellent video. I've started to put my knives in various places like entryway garage, car, desk, basement workbench, dresser, etc. But i think i gotta get a spydiechef for the kitchen. Definitely hard to show a collection though when it's in various places lol

What knives do I actually grab to use? The two I own... lol Kizer lan micarta Civivi elementum cf/dam

Not at all surprised to see the Newtron there, but the 5th one... Okay, Mr Shyamalan

My top five knives.... 1. Ontario RAT 1 AUS 8 2. Ontario RAT 2 D2 3.Benchmade Buyout titanium scales 4.Hogue Deka tanto blade 5. Benchmade Bailout aluminum handle tanto blade.

Another great video from the man, the myth, the legend.

Wait a minute Nick, did I hear that right at 1:35? You don't ENC a pocket knife in your pajamas?

Great choices there Nick. Say, would or anyone seeing this have a list of folders that have captive pivots? May seem like a strange question but knife guys are like that sometimes.

Top 5 biggest letdowns would be a fun one!

That first one looks a hell of a lot like a Spyderco Roadie.

My broken skull in xhp, vaquero xl in aus10, harnds silkworm 14c28n, sr1 lite 8cr, provoke those are the folder I use almost everyday. I use a ggk sirupate, an bps adventurer when I go camping. Or my dogsoldier clone that is my absolute favorite. Those are my really use knives

That Z Hunter Benchmade is hilarious and awesome at the same time.

Wife asks, “is that a knife in your pajamas, or are you just happy to see me?”

This was a bit confusing to me because I actually use all my knives - even my expensive Murray Carter customs.

so Nick, this knife is from there, that knife is from here. How do you keep up with all the knives? Thanks for all you do.

Were you actually wearing a batman mask....

Heck yeah

That switcharoo, lol. Good stuff.

If I'm doing pretty well anything in the house (not in the kitchen) I'm grabbing a Mora. My folders are for carrying outside the house.

Played me on that dry wall knife lol thought u were describing the next in line. Yes im gullible

BM-940, BM-Freek, Spydie Para 2 or 3, Civivi Elementum, and for heavier days, Zero Tolerance Hinderer TI

Nick, I have a knife in my Pajama pocket. Do better. 🤣

Civivi Bo (it's new) Kizer Latt vind Spyderco native LW Rex 45 (work knife) Civivi elementum button lock (it's fun) Spyderco mantra 1 (classic)

i knew that this was a bluff I KNEW IT

Terrific !!!!

If I want to slice I just use my Spyderco native chief carbon fiber cpm s90v sprint run. I bought it to use as a great slicer and days after use, I had people on IG mad that I was using it. Didn't know it was a sprint run nor did I know people feel you shouldn't use such a sexy knife. 🤣 I cannot own a knife and not use it. Personally carbon fiber is for structural use and I feel it's wasted on a knife 😬 that said it does make my knife look classy and people like it when I'm doing studio work and they ask to hold it. People say it's big but I have larger hands and it fits them normally and looks like a regular size knife when I hold it. It's an outstanding knife for cutting food when I don't feel like touching up my kitchen blade on the spot. I really wish everyone could see and handle a spyderco native chief sprint run because the fit and finish is so perfect you cannot detect between the solid carbon scales and the lock itself. The lockup is extremely solid and the action is so smooth it tops even blades with bearings I own.

I use the Koenig Arius..... For EVERYTHING 😮🔥🔥

lmao Hinderer for him was a dead on 🤣

Pretty much just my large 31, maxamet para 3 and Joey roman JR

Nice list !!

Modern knives aren't cool as tradition pocket slipjoints. I carry only SAK, Case or GEC. But I very like Nick's sound of voice. He's good spirit of YT.

Nice choices 😊

My top 5 users would be #1 M390 PM2 #2 4V Manix 2 #3 4V Shaman #4 ZDP-189 Stretch 2 #5 204p 0562cf

Imma be really really honest.... The victorinox huntsman is all i need.. 😂

By the pricking of Nick's thumbs, I can tell he uses a wicked Chaparral

The knife I carry the most....the loaner.

Hi Nick, who did the flipper delete on your GB Advocate? I’d like to do the same to mine….

Has anyone had problems with side to side blade play on Benchmade's axis assist? I'm afraid to get one since you can't get to the pivot without taking off scales due to it voiding Benchmade's warranty if you disassemble their knives.

1. Native 5 2. Manix lw 3. Bugout 4.prisado cf 5. Barrage. Thats my regular EDC/work

Nick that benchmade is a $1000 prototype on ebay ;p

BM 550 and Para 3LW. I have other knifes! You come up and ask me what knife is in my pocket, this is what you will find.Honorable mention: if at the house I have a Kershaw Cryo that gets all the nasty work( tool box knife).

Nick-what do you use for opening mail?

Nick’s “User Knives” would be my “Safe Queen Knives”…

How hard is it to sharpen the Sandarin?

I have a number of very nice knives (Cattaraugus, Buck, Spyderco, Bertram, etc) but the knife that I use the most is a very cheap Chinese made Timber Wolf that my son gave me. Why? Because I don't care what damage I might do it it. Is that strange?

I think Nick onky uses a a utility knife with the replaceable blades and never actually uses any of these knives. Would it be that hard to put a video of you cutting something besides paper?

looks like neon green knives are going to be sold out soon

I use my gerbers only, 50 knives and i only use 2

What actual real-world cutting tasks though? How many actual cutting tasks does a man have in a day? I really want to get the pocket knife thing, but I really really don’t. What am I missing…? Help me out chaps…

Hi Nick. It might be an interesting idea to cobble together 10- 20 barrage Z hunters and sell them for charity. Jon from Brooklyn

thank you for the video. kinda dissapointed(kidding), you dont have a blade and a flashlight in your pyjamas? Leathernam Squirt PS4 and a small bike like from Decathlon with red and white. never bothered me.

So far every reviewer has got it wrong !!! THE DOLLICA IS YOUR FAVORITE USER KNIFE !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 nice list however ..

Noice! MOAR NICK SHABAZZ

At the last minute you swapped out that knife with the beautiful handle, for that hideous green thing!

Lucky man, lol. Your "beater" knife costs more than all my knives combined.

So you’re saying you don’t have a dedicated pajama knife?

5:45. Yeah I laughed too

I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t use their knives… I regularly carry my Gold class and such. Tools are tools when they are working.

The pocket pecker may no longer be the flipper tab on that advocate, but the clip picks up the slack for the lost pecker-age...

When a titanium AD20 is your beater 🤣🤣🤣

Would someone please post the name of the first knife? I can't quite make out what he is saying.

Wait….no knife in you pajamas. 😳. New tag video five best knives for pajamas.

The very idea of buying a knife just for looking at and NOT using is absurd. And I have one

C'mon Nick, we know you pack the CRKT Provoke every Tactical Tuesday.

Ummm, you don't have a PJ carry?😮

Nick,let me get that Ti Demko please. I'll trade you a Cru-wear in Grivory and some 💰 I'm sure they give you another

You don't carry a knife in your pajamas?

You wear pyjamas..?
