Do you watch knife testing vids? Find them useful or waste of time? Do you like a specific way some test a knife but not others?
I have never purchased a knife due to a vid, but I can say some vids influenced my choice on a knife I was already considering. I tend to like hard use vids where the person has a set number/type of tests they will use to test a knife. Some are of course more like abuse than use, but I enjoy seeing how much abuse a certain knife will withstand. That applies more to say what I'd be interested for EDC or bush craft and such vs say a kitchen knife etc., and expect the testing to be withing a logical framework for what the knife is intended for.
Feel free to post a vid you feel illustrates what you find good/bad in such vids.
Big fan of Advanced Knife Bro. I think the some of the genius behind his review is he simultaneously actually shows the knife being used while kinda spoofing the whole knife review video culture. And he does it with some dry comic relief. A few of his videos showing his ninja like knife moves with classical music playing in the background are just awesome.
I've never put much value in knife review videos but I do like his a lot.
So it's not just me? Thank god! I thought I was going crazy.Nay. They are lame.
What's there to test? It's a knife. It cuts things, or at least it should. Do I really need to watch a video of this?
It makes me think of kids today that watch videos of other people playing video games... Why not just play the game yourself?
