I don't care.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, So where do you guys want to start with this.
Are we going to start with like your every day
what you carry in your pocket and the usefulness of it,
or are we just jumping right into this.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, let's start simple, okay. Where most kids get their
first taste of knives?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yep, you know, and I'm not talking about where they're

Weird uncle Kevin?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Don't you have no we do not My weird uncle
Kevin got murdered, all right, But usually most kids, especially
back in the day now with all these woke you know,
alphas and everything. But back in the day, there's no
such thing as a woke a phone jen alpha.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
But back in the day, when you were turning seven
or eight years old, you got your first little pocket knife,
you know, your first little pen knife, you know, kind
of thing that you could use. You'd sit with your
grandfather while he's you know, carving something like home boy.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Was making test pieces and I'm trying to figure out
how to make a point on a stick.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
How did you do that?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
You know? I mean, so and you you learned young.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know the point the end is bad. Yeah, you know,
don't stick yourself. I mean I still have scars from
when I was.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
A kid.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Getting cut up or sliced up, you know. Yeah, but
that's how we learned. And I always carried a knife
on me, even in school back then.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
You know a little pocket knife.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Now, oh my god, if you have a plastic you know,
a plastic knife, that's it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean I remember getting my first knife from my
grandpa and you know, actually know my dad gave me
my first one. My grandpa gave him my second one.
I mean kind of rite a passage thing. You know,

God dang, almost forty years later. Yeah, thirty thirty five
years later. Wow, that gave me a It was a
about a two and a half inch blade and little
single blade, uh old timer pocket knife, nothing fancy, but

(05:23):
you know what, it wept my whistle. And after that
I was like, bro, knives are freaking rock awesome.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, and they have so many uses even as a kid. Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Mean the things that I used to win. We used
to build our forts and treehouses. You ended using your
first girl crush, carving into the picnic table.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
At the school, the tree you know, the plus.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, B plus T or whatever you know. Yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
All the cool things that they were actually used for,
you know, when you did your first experiments on small animals.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
My first experience was a M eighty with the PROG.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
He's like, I skipped the whole life straight explosives. Why not.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
A frog? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:12):

Speaker 2 (06:20):
He's just sleeping.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
The things that gen X did or even like even
like millennials, you know, because okay, so there you guys.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Were wait wait, hold on, I followed.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
There is a new generation between nineteen eighty and eighty nine.
There's a generation. It's not millennials. They've already called it.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's like the Gen X plus.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, xenials.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
It's like that. I hope they did.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Like they're like, these guys don't.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Mess with Bro. We were wild.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
They're wild.

Speaker 4 (06:54):

Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're gonna find out. Dude, Mom and dads get your
ass outside. We don't want to but with you today
and you're like, my cool.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, it's like my brother was born in eighty two,
so he just missed the eighty cut off of Gen X.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
But no, dude, the cut off was like eighty four,
which is bullshit because I fell into the millennial category.
And I'm like, Bro, I am feral.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I do.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, you want to see what some crazy ass dude
can do. Bro, put me out in the woods for
about a week with a knife. I'm gonna come out
wearing freaking god knows what. Yeah, bird feathers in my hair. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Like I was born in sixty nine, so I was
an early Gen.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
X old part you know, I mean year old.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I'm not that old. You're old, but I still rock.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
The chair. What anyways, knives.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Whipper snappers, so now, but then, of course you graduated.
Usually when I was growing up, being old, we used
to go to a lot of like the flea markets
and the swatis, and there was always that booth.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Oh yeah, there's.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Still to this day, the day that has the knives,
the shurikens, the Chinese stars, yea, the butterfly knives.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
All those.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
There's always that booth, and that's where we were drawn to,
like like moms to a light.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
You know, boom, what do you have under the counter.
I know you got some good stuff, like.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Spring loaded anything, right, exactly, my last good spring loaded.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
When finally broke, I'm gonna have to get a new springloaded.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Get a bitch maiden. Yeah, just get a breakdown, get
get a hersh all. This thing was like Columbia River.
Columbia River, knife and tool a bad yeah, next one.
And they're not that ex Columbia River has god dang it,
like we are skipping way ahead, like the Columbia River
has their price point. I don't know how they do it,

(09:05):
but man, it is.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Phenomenal kind of better than bench break.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
No, it really is. I'm just a bench made whore
and my wife knows this.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I wish I could. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
So, like every time we have like an anniversary of
my birthday or what the bringing crap. Ever, she's like, hey, babe,
I got you something, and I'm like, is it a knife?
How do you know? I'm like, God, dang it, okay, cool?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Is it a knife that shoots bullets too? It's a
knife gun. So that's normally our anniverse.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Is it the petty cow yet?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Is it the petty co bro?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm working on it settled down anyways.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Anyways, So then you jumped over to these more exotic knives,
and then you would start finding things like, you.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Know, the maid in China or made in Japan or
made in Taiwan. Those knives I could afford as a.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Kid, right.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
And of course in two five in our generation, Rambo
was the big movie.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh yeah, So you had the survival knife with the
compass on the air.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Encompass on the end, and you'd open it up and
you had the matches, the fishing there they're all that thing.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, it was fishing wire, fishing, hooked matches.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Actually got one for my birthday last year. Yeah, my
wife's best friend's husband. It had a compass and it
had fish hooks and all this stuff. Yeah, pulled out.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
This is cute now now it looked intimidating.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, and the blade.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Right exactly, the blade would hold an edge for about
five minutes, you know, and if you got it, you know,
and you could sharpen it and it would sharpen, but
it for.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
About two cuts.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
But again, like I've talked about, if it was a
choice of that or a stick.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh yeah, I'll take it, bro, I will screw that
dude right onto a sticky.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
And exactly, it's like it's still pokey pokey. Even if
the edge isn't that good, it's still it.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Won't cut he cutty, but it'll pokey pokey.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
But it'll pokey pokey exactly.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
But that's you know, like what you just brought up.
That is where like the quality of steel, the type
of steel that your knife is made out of. So
you know, I'm a freaking I'm a tool steel guy.
Tool steel is a pain in the ass to sharpen,

(11:32):
but it will hold an edge forever because literally what's
it called tool steel.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Too?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
That stuff is rock hard, and like I said, it
is a pain to sharpen and you're gonna spend some time.
But once it's sharp, Bro, you're good. Stainless steel. Stainless
steel on the other hand, but that is the complete
opposite of the spectrum, Dude. It's super easy to sharpen. Bro,
cut some cardboard with it, and you're not trimming your fingernails. Yeah, okay,

(12:02):
So there's a whole lot of the spectrum. Yeah, it's
it's really bad. So and that rainbow knife, by the way,
is stainless steel, right, it's junk.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Right, And then you start usually about that time, now
you're in your early to late teens.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
And Bro, I had a bar when I was like twelve. Yeah, right,
Like I had a k bar Marine Corps fighting knife
when I was like twelve.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
For the average person, you know, you know, scrounge up
to buy stuff, you know, not everyone walked out of
the swap meet with a sword and a bow and
arrow and walked five miles right and get pulled over
by a cop because he sees you walking with a
sword and a bow and arrow in Miami, you know,

(12:55):
a whole like quiver and everything.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
But he was cool. He asked me where I came from.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm yeah, and I'm like, oh, the swap me done
a tropical theater there because they used to be driving.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Theater, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
And yeah, and I just picked up the school sword
and this, that and the other. And he's like, oh, okay, well,
how far are you going? And I told him it
was just a few a few miles. Then he goes,
I'll give you a ride so I'm not walking to
schools with it.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
I was like, okay, cool, sir, And he gave me
a ride to the house.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
And my you should have seem to look at my
mom's face when she sees the cop car pull and
me like.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
What did he do now?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
But then he but then she sees him waving to
me and me smiling, going thanks, you know, and she
was like, oh, okay, that's cool. So no, yeah, but
I'm saying, you know, at that point, you're now probably
in your late teens, when you start having money to
actually shop, run and buy something a little bit better,
and hopefully you're starting to learn more about real steel,

(13:57):
crap steel, you know, so on and so forth. Then
we start getting into some interesting things. You know, the
actual knives used for actual fighting.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you know, and that's the kind of the k
bar realm. Yeah. And don't get me wrong, there are
so many other manufacturers that make that's not I don't
want to say that's not knife, but other like comparable
fighting knives that are freaking great.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
That you have companies that cold Steel, which cold steel
which they make some really cool stuff, and they do
make some kind of ant stuff too.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, they you know, but if you notice so like
when you go to academy they have cold steel on
the shelf, it's in the plastic package and you're like
forty nine dollars. Okay, that should tell you a whole lot. Yeah,
them and several other companies they have like their grades
of knives, right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
So there are Yeah, they're the same sales stuff for
the regular.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Right, and it's the same thing you're buying the name.
Oh I got a cold steel knife? Okay, Well where'd
you get it? Yeah? Is it the one or is
it the one hundred twenty five dollars one or whatever?
It is not the same knife. No, it's not even close.
It may look the same, but it might look the same. Like, well,

(15:19):
you can buy bench maads, you can buy kershawls, you
can buy whatever brands. Yeah, on on tu, dude, the
bench made ones. They're not real, I know.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
But they look so they come in the same packages.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Due they're identical. They're identical cups.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah, is one to tell about that that that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
They're like, cannot tell the difference. Yeah until you break it, yep,
and then you see the dude the section of the
brains in the blade or their hair pocket. Oh yeah, yeah,
they are Like I said, when you get them, you
look at the box and you're like, this is legit. Yeah,

(16:00):
Like it even has a little boil sticker on the end.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Of it, certificate everything.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yeah, nope, dunk, don't waste your money. Please, unless twenty.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Of them team knife, you're gonna end up getting hurt
with it.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well yeah, well, and that was the other thing that
I've had people say that, but I can't afford a two.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Hundred dollars three hundred dollars knife.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
You don't have to, no, I know.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Like I've told people is like, if you want to
have a really nice knife, yeah, save up and buy
a really nice night But there's nothing wrong with going
to Academy, going to Walmart whatever and buying a several
cheap knives.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
So at least you got something.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
You got something here. If it breaks, you have another one.
Because it was only fifteen bucks.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
You don't care about it.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
So, like I said, I carry benchmads. I've got other
knives as well. Yeah. Columbia River Knife and Tool. Yes,
we were just talking about them. Awesome Columbia River Knife
and Tool. They have a knife. It's called it sixteen. Yes,
you can get it as a spear point or a tanto.
It is not and it's not an assisted opening and

(17:10):
s nothing like that. It's got a little flick switch
on the back of it to help you get it open.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
That's okay, yeah, use your wrist.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
But they're like forty I think forty nine fifty nine
bucks something like that. They are not expensive. They're phenomenal knives. Yes,
I've had several of them. And the only reason I
say had is because I've lost them. You use them, Yeah,
they're there, I've lost them. Yeah, but they had been
phenomenal knives. I mean, if it wasn't for my wife,

(17:41):
I probably wouldn't even own a bench mate. But like
I said, every Birthday, Christmas, whatever, then sometimes you get lucky.
That is a sick knife.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yes, I picked this up at four wheel parts here
in such a Florida in Orlando.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I would love to be on on that knife for
a while.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's a.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Bet on it, beat on it, like see what it's
made out? What? Like? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah, okay, whoa.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
A four wheel drive shop?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
You know? You know?

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Gee drum not you all right?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Typical I'm trying to say, I'm teaching.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Him, well, teaching him, well, no you're not. And they
had these knives. It's legit and it was forty four
dollars not cheap.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Can you go back?

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Can you get me one and I'll pay you? Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Don't even know, Yeah, I know, but I was seeing
it because normally they're stamped with what type of steel is?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
I was looking at like for that, and I know, fine.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Even with the more expensive ones. Mine doesn't even have that.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, yeah, mine does.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
They are stamped for twenty four forty or whatever.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
There is CPM D two, which D two is tool steel, Okay,
CPM one, I think that's tool steel as well. I
think tool steel too. Yeah, but this, yeah right, but
this guy is I would love to frigging purposefully break

(19:15):
this night see whatever handle? Yeah okay, I'm gonna be
swinging up there again soon. Anyways, I'll pick up a
couple more because this guy is it's legit. It's a
full tang. It's probably three sixteenths or a quarter thick.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
It's unbalanced, I mean, it's unbalanced as shit.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
So you're not gonna be real good with throwing the
dang thang.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
But in a fight.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
The blade profile and the fact that it has full
rear serrations on it, which actually not even a serration. Dude,
that's a goddang salto.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
We'll post a picture of it.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, that guy is legit.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now, for people that don't know what a full tang
is is cheaper knives, the blade will will like literally
stop at the handle, yes.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Or it'll have like a partial tang where it goes
into the handle a little bit.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
And those are notorious for breaking.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Watch Forged and Fire, great show, bro Cross Show, and
you will learn more about knives watching that show than
I will ever tell.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
You what you want.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, the entire spine of the blade goes all the
way to the back and the actual handle, hilt.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Whatever you want to cause, it just attached to It's
just attached to it.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
You even have a glass break on that one too.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, and it even has a glass breaker on the
back and it's got the holes.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Uh like put it. So if you were to strap
this to a piece of like pole or stick to
use it as a what you think I'm gonna drop?
Drop it? Oh? Sorry, I would have.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I would have left so god dang hard. If I
would have done that and it would have literally cut
my butt, I would have been like, it's your fault.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
We have turn of kits.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I mean, I understand, but I would have made you
feel like shit over that one. For like the rest
of the time I know you, I'll be like, remember
that time you dropped the knife cut my foot? If
you're an asshole every time I see you.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
So and the thing about I mean again, I totally understand.
You know, cry once you know you know, you pay
the good money for the good item, whatever it is, gun, knife,
arm or whatever.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Just put it on your list for your birthday or Christmas.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
So, yeah, so have at least one or two expensive,
really nice, hot, super high quality stuff.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
But in reality, shit hits the fan.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Anything is better than nothing.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's better than nothing, and you're gonna need multiples, Yes,
you know, so buy fifteen of those ten dollars knives
and put them away. Well so you know, when breaks,
you can hand one to someone else you need something.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
And there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, like on
my plate carrier, I've got a knife. On my belt,
I've got a knife on my friggin pants pocket. I've
got a knife. Yeah, dude, I've got three frigging knives
on me.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Right here, so damn bam.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
But I know it's not a knife, but I have
the little scraper like the razor blade. Yeah, and still
in the cardboard stuff to my plate carrier. Yeah, you
never know.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
In my wallet, I've got that blade that's a credit
card blade.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, yes, but that's the thing, is not every knife
has to be a duty knife. Not everything has to
be a service tool. No, sometimes it is literally just
I need a blade, and I need it right now.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
You need to loosen it up and oil it.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I use this at work. I'm always cutting cardboard. I mean,
that thing is chewed up, but it is. But I
use that every night at work. I mean that's my
utility knife. Yeah you know, but still it's small, but
it's got it's got a.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Very important part to it the bobble opener.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
It's got a bottle opener on it.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
You know, that stays in this pocket always and again
when you're when you're gearing up, you know, when you've
got your stuff on, be it for work or be
it for battle, whatever, know where everything is and set
it up so you don't even have to think about it.
I know, if I want X, I reach here.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Here, keep your eyes on.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
But so this was kind of the point I was
getting at whenever I mentioned I have one on my
plate carrier, I've got one in my frigging belt. I've
got one in my pocket. They all serve different purposes exactly. Okay.
The one on my plate carrier is the I'm fixing
to cut your head off and send it you're too close, yeah, okay.
The one that's on my belt, it's maybe a two

(23:42):
and a half inch blade. It's a little pokey pokey,
get back, get away.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
From me, exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's the one that's in my pocket is the one
that I use for everything else. Right, No, No, that
is like literally the I'm gonna cut something open, Okay.
The one that's on my plate carry dude, like like yours. Yeah,
it's got a big, heavy, friggin tang. I mean it's

(24:06):
three sixteenth quarter inch thick. I can brig and take
a god dang twelve inch log and take and frigging
hammer it with this other little log, and I can
split that guy open. So that is like your bushcraft slash. Yeah,
but you've got to understand that with every knife, they
have their purposes. Don't use your freaking folder the prie

(24:26):
crap open right, okayak, You're gonna break it. And they're
not made for that. Yeah, they're made for like everyday tasks. Yes,
once you get into like the heavier duty knives, that's
when you get into the ability to actually abuse it,
you know, like.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
This one I've abused to. Now, if you look at
the blade, it's like I said, it's tape from work.
Yeah you know, but this also this has the seat
belt cutter built in and a glass perk, right, you know,
the blade is getting loose. I've tightened it up as
much as I can. The blade is getting chewed. But again,
I use it all the time.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
I mean, you know, but and and that's what that's
freaking like massioak. Yeah, you know, so it's cheap.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
What was it maybe fifteen twenty fifteen, twenty bucks.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, so I don't mind if it breaks, you know,
and I use and I've had this for about two
years now, and I use it at work all the time.
You know, I haven't had to use this one yet.
But when I use this one, it's gonna most likely
be because I'm stabbing.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Someone in the chest.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
And go right through the sternum. In fact, I'm not
gonna do that with this. If I have to stab
you in the chest with this, I will, but it
might break.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
So and listen, you actually just brought up another really
good point. Hole Yeah, a holes a hole? Mmm, So
I was I retract that statement when you buy a
pocket knife, I'm not a huge fan of so I

(26:07):
am to a certain degree. But liner locks, the liner
lock that's on the inside, like that one. Yeah, where
literally when you're gripping it, you're gripping what is holding
the blade open? Okay, right, because think about it. If
it twists in your hand, if it slips, if something
crazy fucking happens, it's possible that you're going to disengage

(26:33):
that lock. That's why, like, that's why your grandpa or
your dad gives you gives you the no, but it
gives you the old timer that has the lock on
the back of it, and literally you have to think
about to unlock. I mean they literally give you the
safest knife they can because they don't want you to

(26:55):
cut your gunning.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Well no, but cook if you.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
But you know what I'm saying. It's like so like
a Swiss army knife is great, Swiss army knife has
fucking a million purposes, but there's no lock on it.
So you had on your hand and cut your fingers
right off. So that's why it's super important to consider
not only the type of steel that your blade is

(27:23):
made out of, yes, the type of material that your
handle is made out of, because you know, nylon is great,
g ten is fucking better. Plastic is okay.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
You're doing.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
It's slippery when wet and it breaks classic wood. Yeah, dude, listen.
I love wood, I really do. I would God dang it.
A hole is not a hole. But wood is actually phenomenal.
It is. It is when it gets wet, if it's

(27:55):
not a treated wood, if it's like rollwood, it actually
gets sticky, yeah, which is great. Like you're not going
to lose control skin and bone. I don't really like
bone because bone is the exact opposite. It's wet and
it gets slick. Antler is phenomenal. Typically antler has enough

(28:18):
grain and texture to it. And I'm talking about like
not modern day knives. I'm talking about like old school
stuff where you know, Grandpa made the knives. Antler is
phenomenal because typically it has enough like knubs buttons imperfections
in it that bro you can yeah, I mean you

(28:38):
can get down on it and it's good.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
He's getting a little crazy over here.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, you're talking about is phenomenal. When k Bar made,
which they still do, the leather washer handles to that
stuff gets wet, you about can't let the knife go.
Then they came out with their next gen knives and
it was like a rubbery plastic he handled. I'm not
a huge fan. I own one. I have one because

(29:05):
I was like, cool, dude, it's like the next iteration
of the freaking original fighting knife.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Whevers him to come out with something new. It's like, Okay,
this is nothing better.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's not better, Like it really wasn't that original leather
washer set up pressed and to that is awesome meant
for a fighting knife for a fighting knife.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
But now I remember when I was a kid, I actually.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
I carved a knife out of wood. I used to
like to try to to like, you know, like make
stuffight of wood. And I actually carved an entire knife
out of wood. It wasn't sharp in the edge, but
it was pokey pokey, and I varnished it and everything.

(29:57):
And I had that thing for years. I didn't use it.
It was you know, it was a come on, do it.
Put it in your mouth, folks.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
We're not putting nothing in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
He's in a hole, is not a hole.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Wanting to drink some of the whiskey. We gave him
pussye go there, you go.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Out out. That's not quite as smooth as it.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Not quite as smooth as the other stuff.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Can you bring that back?

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah, dude, I got a bottle up now.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Now, the next generation of knives, we started seeing him
a little bit in the late eighties.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
The nylon, yeah, right, which that's what k bar there
now stuff Now.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
This stuff, it's plastic nylon whatever, But this stuff is
damn near indestructibles, sharp as hell, and it's undetectable to
metal detectors. Now, if it goes through an X ray
machine and they're gonna see they're gonna still see something
that's in the shape of a knife.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
If I go through Disney, it does not show up.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I have one.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
If I go through the airport, nothing really. Yes, it's
a little scary.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Oh yeah, might be an international drug smuggler?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Was my backpack? Walked in, went through the X ray
that went through the machine. No flag. Here you go.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
And you get to the hotel on the other side
of your freaking trip and you're like, oh, tell my wife.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
I was like, I got to freaking blade in there,
Like it's not good. Yeah, She's like, why did you
take it with you? I was like, I don't know,
it's it's always in my bag. It's a bag I
always carry with me.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
So well, it's like the one am I in my wallet?

Speaker 4 (31:54):
So that one I did get caught with that one? Yes,
Tampa airport really yeah, huh through a whole bitch hit
about it.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh wow, Oh yeah, are you trying to take a
knife on an airplane?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
It's in my wallet. It's a card. Yes, it folds
up and you know it's a blade, of course.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I mean it's still a very don't you know that
they did nine to eleven with the.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Really saying a box cutter lady, Yeah, settled out.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Listen, I heard the same thing.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I remember.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
I had the same thing.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
I remember back in the day when you could smoke
on a airplane, you could carry a knife on an airplane.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, then fold Yeah, and you've got a pretty sharp.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Little they were.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
They're good.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I mean they're only like five bucks too.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like I said, I would not I would not try
to survive out in the woods with this, but dance
for you had to for a freaking pokey pokey. Yes, bro,
we gonna make it away from me. Yeah, we're gonna
make it work. I mean, especially like you said, in
an airplane, if I had to fight off a frigging
dude with a box cutter, I would rather have that

(33:05):
than nothing like a hundred percent out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, that's been in my wallet for years. I've never
used it for anything because I don't want to miss
up to blame.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
The same exact thing.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, they took it from me. They took it from me.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
I just locked it for you. You're welcome.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
And the crazy thing is I went from d d
A from from Denver Airport. Yeah, to Tampa. Just fine.
I went from Tampa and that's where I got stopped,
Like really, I come from a blue state.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Like, bro, I've already been on the plane. What's the problem.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
I thought I was there.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
About the bottle?

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Right? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I remember seeing especially like
gun shows and stuff you would see like the knife
that was hidden in the hair brush or oh yeah,
and you know what, it's not a slashy slashy but
it's a pokey boy. And now so there's a guy

(34:16):
and I freaking even hate to bring him up because
he's kind of freaking weird bone tactical. Yes, the guy.
The guy is, he's on YouTube and he's kind of
a little weird.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
He makes some kind of neat stuff. Like some of
his stuff is really cool, and then some of his
stuff is like bro, what were you thinking? Like stop
just quit. Yeah, but he does make a knife that
is one hundred percent free. What is it? It's it's

(34:53):
ceramic and plastic, I think, I think, And he's it
was cool. Yeah, And he will literally tell you he said, listen,
this is a one time US knife. He goes, it
will literally once you do what you gotta do, he goes,
it's gonna break. Yeah, he was there. That's all there
is to it. But metal tigers don't pick it up.

(35:14):
And so I kind of see the point.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
I I do, but cold still is actually putting.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Here the person sees the point too, right, he has
do I the other guy?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, thank you for reminding me. Cold Steel just came
of a line. It's called like the f x G
or something, and uh, bro, it is like awesome. It
is a plastic copy of their metal knives. They're not little.
I mean some of them have blades that are six
seven eight inches long. I do not know what they're

(35:52):
made out of. I know obviously they're a nylon plastic
composite of some sort. Are I don't even know if
they're three D printed. I don't know if they're an
injection Yeah, I don't know if their injection molded.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
I don't know what the craft are, so sorry, spec.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, I don't know what the crowd. I don't know
how they make these knives. Yeah, but they are identical
copies of their metal bladed knives. They are not trainers.
These dudes are literally freaking They're insane. I don't know
how they haven't reinforced but I'm just I'm trying to

(36:35):
find one. I want to buy one, like Serge bought
one one of those Cold steals. Dude, these things just
came out like two days ago.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
You buy it.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, I want one.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Oh, he does, like right out, like before it even
comes out. He's like, look at I got it.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, where did you get this? I want one so bad.
I mean I saw, literally, I saw the guy from
Cold Steel. He took a plastic dagger, probably a six
maybe seven inch blade and shoved it through the top
of a fifty caliber Amo can through the lid.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
That's insane. Yeah, and I'm like, bro, it didn't break.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
No, it didn't break.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
If you could do that, it's going through so much check.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah. But I saw ultiple times yeah yeah, and I
was like, brother, that's plastic. Yeah, that is apparently harder
than metal.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
How does that happen?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
You listen, they've got all those fancy freaking synthetic bull
crap now that they like you said, three in print. Yeah,
I don't know, but they are pretty legit. And I
think I'm gonna have to break down and buy one
X player or I think this is where I'm just
gonna have to be a freaking gearhor I think so.

(37:56):
I think I'm just gonna have to go buy a
cold steel gear are Yeah, not saying that player couldn't
make one because he made that that one. Yes, But
I don't know if like the three D printers that
our consumer grade, I don't know if they could print
something that trible.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah, right right, right of course, of course. So, folks,
I hope that has helped.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
You with knives, tool steel, full tang, full tang all
the way.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Spend the money to get one or two high quality,
you know, really good ones, and then by a shipload
of crappy ones just because to have pass around.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Use beat up everything.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, and listen on top of the knives, make sure
you have a way to sharpen it. Yes, there are
so many ways to do that. I mean, you can
use a freaking Arkansas wetstone. You can use uh if
you live in a house that still has the old
freaking ceramic fuses and the few panel those work for great.
Roll down the window of your truck, use that top

(39:05):
rough edge that'll put a frigging razorblade edge on one.
Nobody believed me until I showed them, and then they
were like Oh my god, dude, that's awesome. Now I
buy those, but learn how to work smart makes the
little friggin metal looking ones. They work pretty good.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
That yeah, like the one that it's like that like
yellowish orange plastic, but then it's got the it's got
the V rough.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
They great.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Which one did the.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah big not a big fan because you're lying on
your retardation to keep that edge right. It's true, you
know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, with the ones that
you're talking.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
About where it has that X right, so you can't
mess it up.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Bro, it's set. You'll literally take it.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
You drive one those in the kitchen. It has like
the sex suction cup on it, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, And but they work great and they're cheap. You
can go get one for like ten to twelve. Go ahead, Nope, nope, nope,
I'm done. Listen. I can only put up with so
much of this every night. Oh look, my cord looks

(40:16):
like a set of balls. Yay.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I help you with knives and what to do, what
not to do? Please be careful. Knives are sharp, they
can't cut you.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Cut you is dangerous.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Knife is dangerous.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Knives are even more dangerous in many ways.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Yes, yes, yes, but remember, if you're going to be
using knives, have ways of stopping the bodily fluids from
coming out. Have turning kids, have you know, know how
to stop bleeding because inevitably, no matter.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
I mean, you're gonna cut yourself, you are going to
cut yourself.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
I cut so many times, almost lost again, I should
I almost lost.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
The entire tip of this finger almost came off.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
She was dirty, wasn't she She was.

my belt line on my back where I got stabbed.
But that is some serious ship right like this, because
