Very entertaining. Damn well done, I'd watch more if you made 'em. Question, Did Mr. Onion design the Chive as well? I EDC'd that little thing for years.
 
Either one will make a good EDC. Can't speak for the BM, but the Leek has a thin tip and is a light duty knife.
 
Well, my feedback would be not to join a forum to get subscribers for your channel on youtube.

Kinda tacky.

Maybe stay a bit and talk knives here. :)
 
My suggestion would be to find some unique knives to review. Doesnt have to be expensive. Just different. You tube is flooded with reviewers. I think for it to be successful you need to bring something to the table that no one else is bringing. The leek while a great knife has been reviewed to death in its many configurations. So you have to ask yourself "am I bringing anything new to the table that the million other people before me didnt?" If you cant give a solid yes to that question then I think you need to rethink things. The only time I even do a youtube video is if I know no one else is on that particular thing for whatever reason. Otherwise I dont even bother. You tube reviewers are a dime a dozen. As are most of the knives they review. The ones that succeed are doing something either extremely different, or extremely well. And I dont know how long you have been into knives but you can never do too much research. Reviews mean nothing if the person doing them is not experienced in knives. If you cant spot flaws, problem areas or defects in functionality you really cant speak from an informed perspective and it would make you a blogger.

OP, this is top shelf advice right here. Look up nearly any production knife and there are a ton of videos which are all over the map in quality. On one hand, you'll have guys do a 30 minute video on a knife, exhaustively going into every detail. On the other end of the spectrum, there are twenty videos that are a couple minutes long of some guy using a webcam from 1993 stammering through a schpiel about how it's uh, it's awesome, and cool, oh, and dang sharp! And check out that edge! And hey ya'all, I just got this knife, check it out! Thanks fer watchin'!

Don't be the second guy! LOL
 
I would shoot you a PM with my 2 cents but you are a registered member. Upgrade your membership and shoot me a private message.
 
Here is a link to ep.1 on the benchmade mini griptillian https://youtu.be/F0NJQmoNe6o

I am going to vote SPAM and am not clicking the link. Maybe I am a grumpy old fart at 47, but I don't like it when someone joins the forum to garner clicks and $s for their channel. Add in that the content (according to Poolhustler, who seems knowledgable) is not accurate, and I become even more annoyed. This is just my opinion, and I have no expectation that others should feel the same way.
