A sharp knife is a happy knife! Thanks so much for the kind words brother!

Sorry, us North Carolinians do NOT claim ANYTHING west coast. And yes, i speak for all North Carolinians. Disclaimer: Cary, Chapel Hill and Asheville... well, you can have them.😂

East Coast men don't wear their wives' hats!

You nailed that review on the model XIII. The original name was Persian fighter. But everyone hates Iran. Thank you for the time you took to do this video. All us NC boys really appreciate it. Get in touch with me through Jason and I’ll get you a scrap axe with the next batch I do.

I bought my son a microtech for his 13th birthday. He’s 15 now. Loves his knife. He has a large collection, but always has his microtech on him.

The handle on that combat knife is very reminiscent of a Shamshir or Kilij, and the blade is similar to a Jambiya, so you're right about the Arabic influence.

A scandi grind is absolutely not a tough grind. They chip easily because they're so fine at the edge. A convex would be much stronger, but wouldn't bite into wood as well.

It’s a wharncliffe not a wyclef, and you have had it before on the Gerber speedball

How is that not a winkler?

Great company and an even better man. Can’t go wrong with supporting Ridge Runner Blades.

Wow, so many subtle design elements in that last knife, masterfully executed!

I've been carrying a chinese $15 dollar knife I got at a gas station or something for like 8 years now. Use it daily with no issues.

American bladeworks is just a guy and his wife working out of their garage making some great american made and affordable knives

These guys at RidgeRunner are a 30 minute drive from me! It's great to be surrounded by so many awesome knife makers in NC👍

As a North Carolinian, and on behalf of my great state, we respectfully decline the claim of being a “west coast state” due to states such as Oregon, and California.

Cody, My home state of North Carolina can never be a west coast state...Says the east coast NC guy...long live the Proho 😂

You’re the reason why I bought a 940. I’m happy to see a new unboxing video from you.

3:19 the gentleman who owns and makes the primitive woodsmen knives used to work at winkler knives. He left to pursue his own knife making company and with Daniel winklers blessing he took a lot of the information he learned there and applied it to his own knives. Especially the coating that is used on his blades I believe it’s the same makeup as what winkler uses on his blades I.e Daniel’s blessing of course. They are both located in Boone,NC and are both wonderful companies! I own winklers but haven’t ponied up for a primitive woodmens yet but I’m sure I will next time I’m in Boone for a mountains trip!

As a pastor who loves his Microtech, maybe I'll start doing that while I'm teaching...

Those are rare issue secret knives. Issued for the Mini Sub's Frogman on inland lakes on the EAST Coast. The West coast uses a different version. Each Forest Service Seal team has these special knives as standard issue.

Looks a lot like the Winkler Belt Knife. Similar duty as well. Great looking tool.

Just for the record that Glock knife is probably the best $30 knife ever made. Plain simple and if you had to use it to dig a hole it wouldn't break your heart.

As a foreigner residing in the Philippines I'm not allowed to possess weapons. The rules are so strict that technically, if you are into archery, the individual arrows have to be serial numbered and registered. Enforcement is a completely different issue but a foreigner is a guest in the country and damn well better act like one. At home however, an eight inch chefs knife is a cooking utensil regardless of how big a wound channel it can inflict. Most of the blade styles of Philippine fighting knives are available as yard tools. Historically, that's exactly what they are. Few people could afford a special knife just for combat. They used the same blade for jungle cutting and everything else.

If that fluorescent bead is soft and feels like rubber, then I’m almost positive it’s a castration band for livestock. Looks exactly like one and tons of uses besides its intended purpose.

4:31 Just so you know, the grooves on the spine of a blade for your thumb is "jimping", a choil is a cutout on the edge side of the blade that you can put your index finger in.

I have a Tepfer Blade VERY similar to that. Bought it from him in person. Kyle is an amazing person. Love his blades.

That distal taper IS showing off in the sense that it takes genuine skill to forge it but it also improves the balance.

There's nothing wrong with a Glock field knife. It's just like a Glock pistol. You don't have to care about it, or do anything more than basic maintenance on it. It's going to work every time you need it to work.

That last blade needed no presentation. It speaks for itself.

Props to NC maaaan!

Glad to see you came to your senses and recognized NC as west coast.

The East Coast slander is wild honestly. There are so many incredible craftsmen out there. Lots of old fashioned skills and knowledge. East Coast Proho is a powerful man.

My daughter’s birthday is coming soon I think she would love that purple one thanks for showing it.

Tepfer Knife - As a person who knows Western and ME combat knife systems. From Marine Reconnaissance Kabar to Silat and Kali karambit. This knife seems to me as best of W versus East. Looking more like Golok Keris, with the sweeping belly and semi turned up tang with the knobbed back end to prevent slippage, especially when wet. During combative movements. Light yet devastatingly sharp. Would work well also, as a utility ability for fishing ,hunting, is probably the best designed knife I have seen in a long, long time. Appears to be extremely dexterous when in the hand yet does not have the ring hole as a karambit but sufficient knob to counter grip. Or to not lose a finger from attempt disarm. Thanks for bringing this knife to light.

"If it gets a little dirt in it, it won't work." **laughs in fixed blade**

Sweet knives! Very kind and generous of the fella to send all that to you. Love all the knives but especially the last knife, meant for utility and crazy efficient at eliminating any threat that stands before you, if you know what I mean.

Watch any of Ridgerunner’s unboxings, they are all Fizz makers! So many of those hand made knives are just gorgeous.

Well done Mr. Barr!

Absolutely beautiful pieces Thanks for sharing 🙏

I've been wanting a few new knives. I'll be looking up those for sure

Love the thickness of the tang, shows that it's battle ready imo

that was a great cameo from the Professional Cat. "whatcha lookin at? why not just use your claws??"

I have a Winkler Belt Knife with the tire rubber scales. Very similar design. That blade must feel amazing in hand

I gave you a thumbs up just for the remark you made about playing with the knife in church! LOL! Been there, done that!

Oh my. That purple microtech is absolutely beautiful with the black anodized blade and window breaker on the back. I'm definitely picking one up.

I'm new to the knife world, and after buying a few, I can definitely say that I'm a fan of automatics over flippers. I recently purchased a Cobratec Ryker (I believe that's the name) and it has been my standard since. I'll follow the links provided and see if there's anything up my alley on his site!

I love the old school style vids!

It is a "Tepfer Armory". Looks pretty useful...

@wranglerstar thank you for recognizing NC as a great place. I’m a native to NC and love this state. We do have the best knives!

Great crew of lads 👌🏻

Hell yeah, Josh makes some amazing knives

I’ve had my eyes on one of those bush crafters for a while now. I live close to Primitive Woodsman in the mountains of Nc. His knives are amazing.

It’s a warncliff 😮

Jason Barr knows his knives!

Nice Cody! i just bought my wife a Microtech Mini Hera II in that exact same color set, i carry a combat Troodon Gen III

Nice! It's a time proven design going back hundreds of years. Even that distally tapered tang is a feature of swords. Helps with balance. As a custom blade maker myself I really appreciate those little touches like that.

What do you recommend for hoses for proho fire kit? Got 6 of the sprinklers like you have with bases and 2 gas 2-stroke water pumps. Pumps can use 1" or ght. Thinking toy hoses but not sure the best amount to get

940 is still the favorite! Some come close but not quite! Thanks Cody

That tactical knife reminds me of a kukori style knife. I really like it

Wear a neck knife every day and it works for me, although having done rope rescue it’s a lot easier to get to a boot knife in bad situations than any other carry position

That last one looks like a perfect boning and quartering knife

LOVE that purple! i have a red ultratech with a two toned black drop-point blade

That purple looks so damn good.

suffering a heat wave too over here in Canada eh .. the wide continuous curve to the edge makes this a great knife. Also the way the point is shaped upward above the angle of the handle makes it effortless from point A the waist ...to point B ...the gut.

dont worry about the dirt. if they freeze up when you need it, flick it open with gravity.

Just recently picked up a tops knives Armado 6.5 and it gives me similar vibes to this. Very beefy, ultilitarian, but can also be used as a combat knife. A little on the larger side but the reviews of it dont lie.

Bought all of my Winkler knives from Ridge Runner… great site!

I carry a benchmade 940 Osborne as well! A classic.

I'm surprised and happy to see you are a 940 guy. That thing has some wear to it and daily use.

“I’m not going to get all autistic about it” 😂😂 that was vary relatable

I thought it was expensive, when I paid $155 for my knife on sale. My knife is made in the USA. The whole knife is one solid tang knife. The tang is thick.

Can Jason create a Wranglerstar blade???? Makers mark and all?? Take my money now

6:37. “Not going to get autistic ‘. I’m dying over here

That last blade is sweet. I don't trust a liner lock knife. Great video . .

Very nice knife! What’s the watch? I kept trying to positively identify it, but couldn’t get a good shot.

I am a huge fan of sheep foot blades so I carry a Kizer on me for EDC. Well done Jason

A sharp knife fidget device alone is funny enough but doing in church sounds like a bit in a Naked Gun movie lol

I carry a Benchmade Infidel OTF 3300, it's a great all-rounder, very capable and strong.

Well I'll be. I'm buying a new knife or two today. I was just about to order from BladeHQ. I'll check out Ridge Runner.

Nice selection of knives. Looking forward to hearing more reports after extended use. The American Blade Works folder blade style is a Wharncliffe, not a Wycliff. Also, it's not difficult to taper a tang. It's no more difficult than tapering the blade, which is something every bladesmith can do. But it does take some skill to shape and attach scales to a tang tapered in thickness.

I may have found two new knives to add to my collection, Tepfer model 13 and a Woodsman Foxfire!! both works of art.

I loved that knife, thank you for the heads up

I always wore a Spyderco Delica jn serrated edge around my neck when rock climbing, backpacking & offshore fishing because it’s secure and easier to get to then my pocket.

Not sure if its legal in your state but the Reate Exo seems like a pretty bomb proof “folding knife”, may be worth checking out!

You are going to win the man that's dies with the most toys!

Nice, but I believe a steel ridge on the pummel end would be a big improvement.

The ABW knives are fantastic, the titanium magnacut model 2 is so amazing. 64+ HRC and a better heat treat than any Benchmade.

I like to support North Carolina knife companies. I brought a bunch of knives home from gun shows when I found out that it’s a local knife maker. I think the last two that I’ve bought were serendipity forge and another out the front knife company called hellcat tactical.

Tepher makes excellent knives, as do Dan Winkler and Jason Knight.

Thanks for sharing 😊

Benchmade Presidio is a good work knife. For a fast opening defense knife the Spyderco Matriarch 2 with the Emerson Wave opener is the best, much faster opening from the draw then any automatic.

You need to get your hands on a large Chris Reeve Sebenza

that small bushcraft knife is the exact one i need even though i didnt know it existed until now.

Funny thing I got an Osborne 940 years ago for Fathers Day, because you recommended it, and I see we have the same color Microtech, but mine is double edged. Now my wife has been wanting a purple version of mine lately just like your wife's.😂

First impression of the “combat” knife is its similar to a Winkler knife.

Looks like Overton got that otf cleaned up nice

nice! very much has a Winkler influence. (I think Winkler uses that rubberized handle material too) cheers brother.

Long time viewer and NC resident glad to finally hear the distinction from the other east coast states hahahah

You should check out some of Devon Cole’s custom blades. He’s making a navy seal dive knife for Buck knives now. Never seen anything that nice.
