Thumbs up if you're watching in 2020...

Sometimes I carry a self defence stapler, it takes practice but I can smack 6 staples in your head before you can finish yelling WTF and I'm gone !

"If you're watching this in the year 2020, perhaps." Whoa, Ben saw into my FUTURE.

By far the biggest pro for a neck knife is when your sitting especially in the car its right there, no fiddling around lifted a butt cheek to get to your pocket... :)

i’ve never realized how much of a “hobby” learning about and buying knives could be. my poor wallet #rip

I love how when you're talking about prices, you say "if you're watching this in the year.... 2020 perhaps," as if that was forever away and here I am watching it in 2021.

Neck knife are useful when you're sitting, like in A car, A canoe or A Kayak

The sheath for my neck knife is my neck. I just stab it into my neck.

I prefer nipple ring knives for jogging

This actually opened up my eyes to a lot more ways to carry a neck knife. I've been carrying a lot of EDC neck knives, and over time, I've grown a few preferences to carrying neck knives. I've found: -If you're running, get e knife with a longer lanyard (down by your stomach), so that it's not as obvious. -Parachord is better than beads (especially for running and walking), unless you live in a hot area, in which it starts to smell bad (I sweat a lot, and I have a specific color of neck knife, and not a color of Paracord to match it. -You need a happy middle ground between low carry and high carry. If it's too low, it'll get caught on tables, and if it's too high, it's too obvious. Also, Zac, the bullet ant is known to be the most painful bite in the insect kingdom, and is comparable to getting shot.

When he said 2020 perhaps I was rattled

Worn a neck knife for over 15 years. Type of work I do (construction and renovation) I would use it at least twice a day on the job. Also use another 1 or 2 days on everyday tasks (opening boxes, flipping lid on my beer bottle, etc). I lost so many pocket knives I decided to change to a neck knife - never looked back! For me brand not important as long as it is discrete, robust and holds a good edge. I have the same one for at least 5 years now and still going strong, despite a lot of abuse and sometimes using it as an incorrect tool - it's just always handy!

Over the top and cringe worthy are why I watch Knife Banter. Keep it going.

*Van Gogh carry...*

I may not always have a pocket, but I've always got a neck. Hopefully.

Proud owner of 3 neck knives...none of which I hang on my neck. Belt carry, but love them for their size. Thanks for sharing.

I've had my CRKT Minimalist Drop Point for almost three years, and I almost always have it with me. Amazing how handy this little blade is.

Zac the type of guy to button the top button on his flannel shirt.

The guy with the 40 lb pack wants a neck knife that's 1/2 oz lighter.

"Van Gogh carry" I lost it 🤣

I'm glad Zac's been on knife banter recently. I like the energy he brings, and he seems more relaxed on camera now. Plus he seems like the type of nerd I am, and I am anxiously awaiting the results of that diy micarta >_>

Don't change how you do these videos, I crack up everytime you play the clip of the dude just saying "whaaaaat" Thanks for all the great content!

Being as I ran...for years, with dog tags on; I would suggest that while running, put the "decorative" neckwear BEHIND you. I believe you'll find it much more "friendly". IF there is any discomfort...it's all behind you!

I love that Spyderco ARC! I have been carrying the Cold Steel Mini Tac Tanto for the past 3 months. It's great!

This is my favorite part of the week. Thank you for free content!

I love the guy on the left AND feel like we could be best friends! I ALSO love the little edits, they make the videos unique and humorous.

I just found your channel and I love you guys...great humor! I love my neck knives and although they are not my primary cutting tools they do have multi uses. The fact that I have a neck knife readily available is (psychologically) comforting in the woods. Quick deployment. Visible. Strangely, other hikers step to one side of the trail when they see me coming; it could be the military tactical look with the neck knife :) My favorite neck knife is a Mora Companion conversion with a 4" ferro rod (or a Bic) attached with industrial Velcro. Total weight is 4.8oz including a 40" 550 hanger. I sawed off the sheath belt loop and smoothed the edges with sandpaper. In my backpacking trips around the world I never lost a neck knife. I've lost four pocket folders either by confiscation or just misplacement. The confiscation was at an airport when I forgot to put it in my checked luggage...my most favorite Spyderco, too. Yeah, it sucks to run with a neck knife but a sliver of duct tape will resolve the problem...that is if you don't have chest hair:)

You guys are the best over the top duo I've ever seen. Please Don't stop

The funny thing is, I only ever use a neck knife when I'm naked.

Been waiting my whole life for this video

Of all the KZfaq content I watch, hearing the Guy On The Left launch into "what I-I-iiiiis up guys.." brings a smile to my dial like no other. When that little bell shows me there's new content on KZfaq from Blade HQ, I know I'm in for another well made, intelligent (free!) info bite from Utah. You keep making them, and we'll keep watchin' em. Beyond 2020. :) Love your work, Team Blade HQ.

I love my minimalist cleaver! It's one of my go to knives. I usually carry it cross draw on the belt and it's nice and out of the way. The finger choils make it feel very secure in the hand and works very well for shaving too lol pinch the front groove with the thumb and pointer finger and you have quite a lot of control.

I think blade hq should have a knife making challenge. Take two members and put them against each other. They have one week to make a knife, then they have their knives voted on by us the viewers to see who wins. Voting will be based off of size and usefulness.

Zac is always prepared with a bottle of Cholula on desk. I can relate.

Where neck knife carry really shines is for women, Think about it. A lot of women's clothes don't have pocket's of coarse you can carry in your purse but in a emergency situation that is not an option. I personally love this, I know that MANY "people"believe they can just call 911 but I believe EVERYONE should take responsibility for their own safety when really needed because police are ALWAYS 3-7 minutes away. Retired Firefighter/EMT. A knife Co. could really corner the market IF they made sheaths PRETTY and something the average woman would want to wear as well as practical. ( as always some of us JUST DON'T CARE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AS LONG AS IT WORKS)

I am a strange man (except here of course), I edc a spyderco aqua salt, and crkt m16 tanto, and a spyderco tasman salt 2 on a chain for a neck knife everyday at work for about a month now. I love you guys, this is a very informative youtube channel. Keep up the good work!!!!

could you do a knife banter on scout carry?

Wow!!! I can't believe I won!! Thanks a million and Happy New Year to you all. Please let me know how to contact you for shipping. If I were to purchase an OTF knife, I would purchase a Benchmade 4600 Phaeton. Benchmade products always seem to be reliable, and a "cut" above the rest.

Recent Viewer. I love the energy on The Man of the Left (Ben?) has. LUL. Yall both seem like goofs, so thats what keeps me coming back to view more Knife Banter. Thanks for the shows.

I love this series, you guys are pretty fun to listen to Super enjoyable, keep it up PS : I love who is editing these videos (great sense of humor)

Thanks for the free entertainment! I appreciate the hard work. P.s.- regarding your jog....always carry. You never know. Bad things happen everywhere regardless of the neighborhood type. Look forward to more vids!!!

I love the two I own. I'm a Police Officer so I like having defensive weapons i can get to with my off hand while retaining my firearm with my strong hand should someone attempt to keep me from going home or living in general. The neck knives I use are the Essee-Kbar becker-necker and the Black Jack neck knife.

I bought the crkt minimalist drop point a while ago before I’ve even seen this video and I love it. It’s great for edc, everyday use, boxes, mail, ropes etc. it would be great for personal defense too in my opinion. Y’all really undersold/undermined it(granted y’all had the tanto blade but still). Good video.

Around a year ago I got one of those cheapo Lightning OTF's just to play with. Liked it so much I just bought a Microtech UTX-85. Black handled single edge with bronzed hardware and a bronzed blade. Far and away the most expensive knife I've owned but man is it gorgeous.

and here i thought they were for neck knifing

If running with a neck knife is bad, man the poor girls. Lol

Benchmade Phaeton. In the military and I carry it everywhere i go. I love the action...extremely addicting. Love yalls content. Keep it up!

I have the minimalist clip point... LOVE it! I have carried & USED neck knives extensively. I have used all sorts. I got good with one handed return to case too... I could the tip in the catch the sheath & hook my thumb on the sheath. I have used them them in lots of different situations...& jobs... once you get used to it...it is really handy

Ironically the Sypderco was actually made for soldiers who were getting assaulted in the shower overseas

What are y'all guys doin'? Urban bushcraft or lumbersexual 😶😉😂😎

I actually purchased the CRKT Minimalist Tonto about a year ago or so. I ended up after about a week taking off the neck strap and attached it to my belt with the provided attachment. I'm right handed and attached it cross draw at the left front of my belt. I have a really nice pocket knife but have found that I now go for this one quite often for many if not all of the smaller tasks. Actually it probably gets more use than my pocket knife. Funny, I bought a neck knife and ended up with it on my belt. Great video guys!

I have a CRKT spew just bought it and i already love it

I used to Carry the Cold Steel Spike Tokyo, almost gutted myself....

I'm really into super minimal for neck knives. I've got one of those little TDI knives, but my favorite is the Buck Hartsook. It's just a little sliver of S30V but it does everything I need a neck knife to do.

Best knife vids on the KZfaq... on many levels

I got a dirt cheap MTech neck knife when I was in highschool. I was a cook at a fast food joint and I loved wearing that thing. I could pull it out and use it real quick for opening bags/boxes and stuff. For me it was just as quick as a pocket knife and it was practical at the time. I like the security of a fixed blade as well. I don't know if these days I would use it enough for it to be worth it. I carry a Leatherman Wingman daily anyway. Nice video, I haven't watched the channel in well over a year but it's nice to be back.

40 pound back pack! Please look into ultra light back packing. You'll love it.

“1 is none, 2 is one...”

He went ALL OUT! OUTSTANDING

when he said "if you're watching this in the year 2020" fuck, you got me

I wear a Junglas with a dangler from my pierced ear.

concealed or open van goh?

I just found this channel five minutes ago and I'm already subscribed!

I carry the Ruko Neck & Boot knife. I bought this knife probably over 10 years ago and I thought it was one of the worst purchases ever because I could never find a use for it. I lost the clip, the chain broke so it was just a knife and a sheath. But I made an adjustable Paracord necklace for it and it's actually very comfortable. I even wear it when I sleep. You guys brought up a very good point, I rarely use it because my muscle memory doesn't go to "neck" when I think "knife." But the SECURITY, knowing you have a blade on you (or another blade) is such a big relief.

I'm a natural klutz and I've always figured I would trip over a damn rock, branch, hole or whatever and next thing I know I have my brand new " necker" stickin outta my jugular.

Do a video on bayonet carry! Haha

I have 2 CRKT Minimalist one with a bowie blade and another with a Wharncliffe blade love them both

I carry a Microtech halo 5 and halo 6 some days, they have a nice little kydex belt holsters. I NEVER leave home without taking one of them. The halo 6 is a polished hell hound tanto, halo 5 is a standard tanto elmax. LOVE THEM!!

You guys forgot the tops mini scandi neck knife

Best reason for wearing a neck knife is. Just in case, the lower half of your body and fixed blade gets consumed by a shark. You still have a way to defend the upper half of your body! And possibly retrieve what was taken ! )

Forget that guy and his words... These clips are great and I'm hooked. Looking forward to the next one

okay so here's the funny thing I love your website cuz it's extremely well done and very informative I love your crew I wish I could come work with you I'm a former Marine and I'm a bush crafter I can't always relate to the usages of your knife or the perspectives but I just love watching you guys you are awesome such a likable video every single time thank you for your work.

Memes are spicy as heck doggo and my favorite otf is the microtech boba fett large

13:46, hey, It's 2020, gonna check the price

My new favorite channel! I carry a beautiful Murray Carter necker everyday along with an Emerson Super Karambit as my edc. Karambit is strictly for self defense and cool factor since I can’t seem to sharpen Emerson blades lol. I’ve been carrying a neck knife everyday (or most days at least) for at least 6 years or so. I’ve used and like my crkt minimalist, Emerson LaGriffe, and Alpha Knives Baghdad Boxcutter (nice Damon Lusky custom, but way to heavy for a neck knife, but I carried it that way for a solid year until I got the Carter).

My EDC is the minimalist cleaver I carry as a neck knife a lot of use and recently been having issues with it falling out randomly other than that no complaints it's served me well

i dont trust folding knifes after the lock failed an nere cut my thumb off

The boss won't pay for heating ? What's with the beanie ? ;)

I really liked the condor bushnecker and the cold steel Push blade. Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work.

I love neck carry. First: fixed blade. Second, having a gut makes neck carry easier. I took the kernals out of 550 paracord, threaded in ball chain and with the magnetic leather sheath I was in LOVE. So much better for me! Ball chain can snap so I have less worry of being strangled. I'd not hesitate to remove it around farm equipment or machinery like lathes. I didn't go light-weight or short over all length with my neck knife. I carry Bark River Adventurer II. It's the top EDC for me.

Ben:carries a 40lbs backpack for n overnight "backpacking" trip hahahhaa. Bit much bro?

I sleep with my knifes lol

I bought the Smith and Wesson HRT boot knife, which came with a free neck knife. I actually carry the neck knife more often. I use it all the time- mainly because it has a bottle opener on it.

Just found your channel and absolutely love the videos! Keep up the great work! 👍🏽

Where is the eldris?!

I kinda wish Spyderco didnt feel the need to work in the Spydie-hole on every knife.. it ruined the aesthetics of that neck-knife for me without adding any function (that I can ascertain at least).

I carry the Crkt Minimalist and I Love it

I just bought the CRKT Minimalist drop point. I intended to horizontal carry it for easy access while fishing. I wore it around my neck for the last two days. I may just keep it that way. The first day I completely forgot it was there. It is so comfortable and concealed under the shirt that I realized it was there when I removed my shirt. When the weather breaks I’ll add the clip and head to the water and see how it goes. But for now, it really is a great and light weight edc neck knife.

Actually I’m watching us in 2020 it’s your boy coronavirus

Where's the Becker Necker?

RE: Cold Steel Urban Pal, I have one in my bathroom drawer for the past two decades. It comes in handy opening all kinds of bathroom supplies.

Great video guys! Appreciate the feature at the beginning. Killer content!

OTF...knives like that wish I didn't live in Canada :(

Casey Neistat style 😂🤙

Microtech ultra tech is my favorite OTF knife. Great videos keep them coming guys!

How often do people use knives for you have to carry everyday? I understand with self defence but everyday use how many boxes do you open?

Are you two dating?

Benchmade Infidel all day. I carried one daily in iraq.

This is either the 2nd or 3rd video that I watched love you all. I have to admit I like it I dig it worth my thumbs up and subscribe.

I have a CRKT Minimalist in the cleaver version and it is awesome and extremely sharp
